IN TORHADO'S FURRY.
Many People Injured And Much Prog
eriy Damaged.

st. Louis, Aug. PA tornado OF
extreme fury swept down upon the
residence portion of North st. Louis
resulting in the death of one person,
injury to probably fifty, and damage
to property estimated at 100000.
The atmosphere became murky and
a dark cloud was noticed in North ST.
Louis, approaching from the south
west. Suddenly an arm seemed to
shoot downward like a gigantic cable
twisting and turning. The end touch
ed the ground at Nineteenth and An
gelrodt streets, and with incredible
swiftness and force swept east along
Angelrodt for ten blocks. Then it
turned north and swept three blocks
along Broadway, when it jumped 8
blocks northeast to the foot of Bre-
man street and the river, where much
property along the river front was de-
stroyed. The tornado then jumped
to about the middle of the river and
encountered ferry boat; which was
turned and tossed about, but not
sunk. The tornado once more lifted
and struck the Illinois shore near
Madison, where it demolished several
dwellings, the Leiderkranz hall, and
blew down portion of the Madison
Cooper works and killed John Filing
ton. Severe damage was done also
to buildings at Venice and Granite
City, which adjoin Madison and o
number of persons were injured.

The Tariff Is a Subsidy.

At one of the hearings before the
Marine Commission Representative
Grosvenor said, Subsidy is fright
full word" and yet he Immediately be-
gan to plead for, and to the shipping
industry and tell the Detroit people
that the city's lines of communication
were due to subsidies, "and the Ques-
ton now is whether the great sys-
tenn that has built up your inland
trade may not demonstrate some plan
by which Congress can accomplish
equally good results on the high seas"
Grosvenor was always generous
with other peoples money, he would
vote for a subsidy or procure a pen
sion for Satan if he was voter in the
Eleventh Ohio district.
The protective tariff law is but
multiplication of subsidies to the
trusts and manufacturers when the
rate of duty is beyond what will pro-
duce enough revenue to provide for
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment. Although every Republican
congressman does not plead for ship
subsidy, yet they all vote, work and
plead for tariff subsidies that vastly
increase the cost of living.

ers Were CIubhed,

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-The fiercest riot
of the stock yards strike occurred
when hungry jewellers of the pack
ing house district sought to capture
and kill eight steers that had escaped
from the yards. Tue mob numbered
1000 persons and the streets were
cleared only after 12O policemen in
five squads had charged on the riot
ers on four sides. Shots were fired
and scores of rioters were dubbed
A bullet grazed the cheek of Police
Lieutenant George Prim, and a police
sergeant was stripped of his star and
club by women rioters. One man was
so severely battered he was sent to
the hospital. Few arrests were made
as the police contented themselves
with dispensing the mob. The temper
of the police was shown, however,
when a call for re-inforcements was
answered by a number of patrol wa
CONS, followed by an ambulance. In
no previous riot we're clubs used so
freely.

lAPS BIG SACRIFICE
they GaIned Important Advantages In
Matter OF Position.
PORT ARTHUR THE ANGRY SCENE
The Terms of Surrender Were Honor
able But General Stoessel Received
Request With Burst of Profanity
Offer to Remove Non-combatants.

Che 90, Aug. 20.-A battle of huge
| proportions ragged around Port Arthur
August IA and Is, aud it was resumed
| August II. The Japanese it is re-
ported, sacrificed twenty thousand
more men, but gained important ad-
vantages in the matter OF position.
The above news was brought on
Junks, one of which having on board
three Russians concealed in the bag
gage Of Chinese to escape from the
Japanese, left Port Arthur and was
blown rapidly to Che Foo by gale.
The force of the attack was directed
| against the left wing and resulted in
| the capture of Pigeon Bay positions
and some of the forts at Lao Tie
shan. At Paluncheng the Japanese
hastily mounted guns which did ex-
cellent service in aiding the storming
of the right wing where the Japanese
of minor value, mounting eight four
inch guns, two siege guns and six
quick-fring guns.
The position that the Japanese &C.
cupy on Lao Tieshan peninsula is
not clear, but numerous Chinese sour
ces aver that the Japanese have been
in force in that section. Apparently
crushing attack originating in Loui-
sa bay swept through the Pigeon bay
positions into the peninsula, in the do
ing of which a majority of the lives
were sacrificed.
On the night of the 18th the bat
tie lulled somewhat, when the Japan
csc sent the terms of surrender to
Lieutenant General Stoessel. The
terms provided that the garrison
should march out with the honors of
war and join General Kuropatkin;
that all civilians be brought to a
miral; that the Russian warships in
the harbor numbering seven, be sur
rendered to the Japanese.
Lieutenant General Stoessel is al
legged to have received the terms with
burst of wonderful profanity, his
habitual taciturnity deserving him.
He strobe the floor until he became
calmer and then remarked that if the
Japanese proposition was a joke it
was in bad taste.
Tokio-Major Yanoka, representing
the Japanese forces beseiging Port Ar
thur, met the Russian chief of the
garrison staff about 600 yards north
of Shoshiying, August 16, under a flag
of truce, and delivered to him the
emperor's offer to remove non-com-
batants to a place of safety. The
tender included women and children
under 16 years of age, priests, diplo-
mats and officers of neutral powers.

ANOTHER FATAL CLOUDBURST.
Flood OF Water Fifteen Feet Deep
Rushes Down.

Kingman, Ariz., Aug. 1S.-Report by
telephone from Layne Springs, Ia
miles north of here says that a cloud
burst fell on Summit Cernbat noun
tains, sending flood of water fifteen
feet deep down the canons, carrying
everything before it. At the Night
hawk mine house was carried away
and two men were drowned. George
NJ. Bowers, a well known mining
man, escaped from the building, but
was imprisoned in the tunnel of the
mine and was dug out by fellow min
ers. The body of Ole Inglebrethern
was found two miles down the canon,
imbeded in mud and debris. The body
of John Corners, another victim, has
not yet been recovered. At the Alpha
mine, 100 yards north of the Night
hawk, ore dumps we're carried away
and huge boulders piled up in the por-
tails of the tunnel. At Stockton Hill
and all along the range shafts are fill
ed with water and debris and much
damage has been done. General rains
are falling.

But the tarin on meat does allow
the packers trust to obtain higher
prices for its products from the CON
sumers. although it does not add to
the price paid to the farmers and stock
growers for their stock. American
beef is sold cheaper in England than
in New York, because the tariff pre-
vents competition here, while in Eng
land all the producing countries have
to sell on the same basis.
Yet the protectionists pretend that
the tariff on meat is to protect the

THE WHITE HOUSE REoReAN.
lied.

Pictures of George Washington and
the Early Presidents RELOCATED to
the Basement.
When President Roosevelt had
warmed up his predecessors seat for
while, there was a kitchen cabinet
council held and it was determined
to reorganize the White House. 1t
was too old fashioned and did not
have the facilities for entertaining
that modern progress and a strenuous
president required. 1t was agreed
that the people who visit Washing
ton and are intent on sightseeing
should. when they came to the White
House, not be allowed to enter at the
main entrance, but only through the
basement. AS one of the kitchen
cabinet said, the basement was good
enough for the common people any
way.
Congress was ordered to make the
necessary appropriation and did ap-
propriate about half million dollars
for ''the improvements" A trust arch
itect named McKin was employed I'M
uSA IhC VII CSllOA vi lllS lOI
congress had authorized Mr.. Roose-
welt to personally expend the money,
and the work began and was rushed
to completion. All the grand old
rooms were Quilted, the historical
pictures of the early presidents were
too old fashioned and were relegated
to the basement and portraits of the
Roosevelt family were installed in
their places. Washington, the father
of his country, was turned to the wall
for time, and Adams, Jefferson, Mon
roe and Jackson did not any more
look down from their historic places.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution protested at this desecra-
ton and public opinion. urged on by
their patriotic ardor, forced President
Roosevelt to order some of the por-
traits replaced in the state rooms, but
to this day most of them remain in the
basement.
So much was said about the matter
that many speeches were made in con-
gress, about the extraordinary waste
of the public money and the lack of
regard by the president for the por-
traits of the revolutionary fathers.
The dislike of President Roosevelt for
the early presidents was shown up
by Hon. Malcomb Patterson in
speech delivered at the last session
of congress in which he quotes from
the life of Thomas H. Benton and
other works of President Roosevelt.
Probably the opinion there expressed
by the president led him to order
those portraits banished to the lower
regions of the White House.
We are living in strenuous times
nowadays.

AS EASY
Needs Only a Little Thinking.

Needs Only Little Thinking.
The food of childhood often decides
whether one is to grow up we'll nour-
ished and healthy or weak and sick
ly from improper food.
It's just as easy to be one as the
other provided we get a proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver
Doctor who knew about food, can &C.
complish wonders provided the pa
tient is willing to help and will eat
only proper food.
Speaking of this case the Mother
said her little four year old boy was
suffering from peculiar arrangement
of the stomach, liver and kidneys and
his feet became so swollen he couldn't
take step. I'VE called Doctor who
said at once we must be very careful
as to his diet as improper food was
the only cause of his sickness. Sugar
especially. he forbid.
$50 the DR.. made up diet and the
principal food he prescribed was
Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very
fond of sweet things took the Grape
Nuts readily without adding any
sugar. CDR. explained that the sweet
in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane
or beet sugar but is the natural sweet
of the grains)
I'VE saw big improvement inside a
few days and now Grape-Nuts are al
most his only food and he is once
more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked
youngster with every prospect to
grow up into strong healthy man."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
The sweet of Grape-Nuts is the Ma
ture-sweet known as Post Sugar, not
digested in the liver like ordinary
sugar. but pre-digested. Feed the
youngsters handful of Grape-Nuts
when Nature demands sweet and
prompts them to call for sugar.
There's reason.
