AN ERRATIc CYCLONE.

Queer Storm Hits Section Of ST
Louis, Causing Death and Damage. 3
A tornado Of small proportions, but
Of extreme fury, swept down upon
the residence portion Of North ST
Louis Friday, resulting in the death OF
one person, injury to probably fifty
and damage to property estimated at
100000.
A shower passed over st. Louis ear
ly in the day, but there had been no
rain in North st. Louis. The sky had
cleared and the atmosphere had be
come very murky and hot when citt-
zens in North St. Louis noticed dark
cloud approaching from the southeast
Suddenly, without the slightest pre-
monition, an arm seemed to shoot to
the ground like gigantic cable,
twisting and turning. The end touch
ed the ground at Nineteenth and An
gelrodt streets, and with incredible
swiftness md force swept east along
Aneelrodt for ten blocks, then turned
north and swept three blocks along
Broadway, when it jumped eight
blocks northeast to the foot OF Bre-
man street and the river, where con-
siderable property along the river
front was destroyed. =
The tornado then jumped to about
the middle Of the rivoC and encounter
ed a ferry boat, which was turned and
tossed about, but was not sunk. Leav'
ing the ferry the capricious tornado
once more jumped and struck the ll'f'
nois shore, near Madison, where u
demolished several buildings.

For Judge Parker, Who Oh
jects to Spe|Ibjnding.
BELIEVES 1T Is IMPROPER
His Views on the Matter Set Forth
bv One Of His Closest Friends.
viii Not Speak at Any Time
or Anywhere.

A special from Esopus, N. Y, says:
1t was made plain at Rosemoant Mon
day that there is no certainty of Judge
Parker making any speeches in the
west in connection with his St. Louis
trim or at any other time or place.
The pinciple on which Judge Parker
will act in the matter was learned
from an intimate associate of the
Judge, who said:
Judge Parker has no faith in the
utility OF speechmaking for its own
sake, and will make no speeches any
where for the mere purpose OF ap-
pearing in any given locality. He be-
aieves a stumping tour by political
candidate to be improper and he Will
undertake no such tour. The only con-
dition upon which he will make any
speech anywhere will be the fact that
he has some definite thing to say, and
that he is convinced by his own rea-
SON that some given time and place
best suits the saying of it there and
then. You may say with the utmost
confidence that under no other conds
tions will Judge Parker make any
speech anywhere"

The Republicans Will CoIIate
Facts of Statesboro Affair.
DEMOCRATS DEPLORE ACT
Work Ct Mob Causes Annoyance at
National Democratic Headquar-
ters-Considered as a Sc
rious Handicap.

A New York special says: The mob
tragedy at Statesboro, Ca, has caus-
ed some annoyance at national demo
cratic headquarters.
Chairman Taggart and his lieuten'
ants fear that the Georgia mob has
furnished the republican campaigners
with material which can be used with
great effect in certain parts OF the
country during the coming campaign;
The democratic managers, acting on
the advice of southern leaders, had
prepared to meet the race issue in
states where the republicans have
been held in power by the negro vote
by presenting as counter arguments
the facts concerning race clashes In
the border states like Indiana, ILL.,
nois and Delaware. With the atten'
ton of the country focused upon this
Georgia affair, however, the democrat
ic managers fear that all their efforts
in that direction will be in vain.
They incline to the belief that the
Statesboro affair will not only insure
the united negro vote to the repubi1-
can candidates, but that it can be
used as a powerful argument by the
republican campaigners to support
their contention that the republican
party stands for law and order, while
the democratic party represents the
direct opposite. - =
The republican committee is pre-
pairing to make full use Of this Geor-
gia-made material. Senator Scott, OF
West Virginia, is quoted as saying
that this one act will insure the elec-
toral vote of West Virginia to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He says there was
serious danger Of the democrats get
ting a big portion Of the negro vote
because Of Senator Davis uniform
ly fair treatment Of the large number
who have been in his employ, but that
now no appeals could avail against an
object lesson like that furnished at
Statesboro. Chairman Cortelyou has
his assistants busy compiling the
most lurid accounts Of the affair that
have appeared in the various newspa
pers, with the comment Of the press
of the country, which is, Of course.
uniformly condemnatory, and this is
to be spread throughout the country
for campaign effect. 4

TEXAS COTTON DAMAGED.

incessant Rains, Drought and Boil
weevills Cause DETERIORATION.
Ne Galveston-Danas News publishes
reports from 522 correspondents: in
Texas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
ON the cotton crop. These reports are
of uniform date, August II.
Comparison is made with the crop
of 1908 at the corresponding period
The summary shows that the average
condition in Texas is s.25 per cent
higher than last year; Indian Terri
tory Is: Oklahoma AZ higher. The
figures at the time of The News last
preceding report were 9:5 per cent,
Is and SO 1-3 respectively. There has
been marked deterioration of the
crop in the southern half Of Texas dur
ing the past month.
In some localities of this region this
has been due chiefly to drouth, but in
others to boil weevils and boil worms.
Elsewhere in this section almost inces-
SAINT rains have damaged the crop by
rot and rust and the weeyils and worms
have wrought great havoc. Picking has
been retarded. In many counties the
insects are preventing the plant from
fruiting. Some reports from, extreme
south Texas say that picking is prac-
tically over, while predictions are re-
ported from many places that all the
cotton will be gathered by September
Is to October /.
Boil worms seem to be distributed
all over the cotton growing territory,
being found even upon the staked
plains and in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory. In northern Texas, however,
they.do not seem to be doing any seri
Gus damage except in few counties.
The boil weeril has apparently wild
ened the zone of its operations, being
reported as far northa as Pals, but IS
not menacingly numerous there. The
crop generally is doing well. In north
east and northwest Texas there has
been some appreciation above the July
condition due to, favorable weather.
Picking will become general in that di
vision about September 1. :
Conditions in Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory, are generally splendid
and. an enormous crop is expected.
The News figures that the present
conditions indicates production as fo.-
lows:
Texas, 2.7s7,129 bales; Indian, Terri
tory, 4SS,S12; Oklahoma, 36S,79S bales.

uncompromising.
NJ. Kleinmenoff protested against
the entering of the harbor Sunday
