Senator BuSchoW is a good mixer,
and to know him is to like him. His
associates in the Senate, regardless of
party affiliatiOn, were his friends, as
were most of the House members.
In spite of TIL sentiment against
Normal school branches, Senator Blu
schow introduced his Fort Hays bill
Legislators smiled and the newspa-
pers poked fun at the measure, but Blu
schow smiled too, and poked fun back.
He made "a personal campaign Tor the
bill, going to every member of the
Senate in turn, and having heart to
heart talk with him. The result was
that his bill passed the Senate with
practically no opposition. He pur-
sued the same tactics IN the House,
making a seat to seat canvass. In
time that body also passed the bill
by good majority.
Every citizen of the northwest is
proud of the Fort Hays branch of the
State Normal. While the attendance
is not limited to any particular Sec
tion, it is fact that the majority of

Whiteeaps OF Pike.

The whitecaps in Pike county are
still going on with their lawlessncss
despite the many efforts Of the gov.
ernor and other authorities to ex.
terminate them. A few nights ago
band of whitecaps visited the little
town OF Sartinyille and riddled the
houses of several negroes with buck
shot and warned the occupants to
leave. Many negroes have already
left that section of the State and if
these outrages are not stopped soon,
all of them will be compelled to go.
Much trouble is due to the fact that
some of the negroes are prospering
and acting like they own the whole

day afternoon.
One man was killed and 20 injured
at Madison, Ill.
The storm spent most Of its fury on
North Broadway. in the vicinity OF
Fair street, from 1900 to 1900. The
storm seemed to dip down out tho
clouds which had been hanging over
that part of the city.
II came in the form Of spiral tow
er, whirling forward with great force
and damaging everything directly In
its path.
Telegraph poles for distance of five
blocks on Broadway were moved down
one after another as weeds before a
scythe
Roofs were blown from houses Troll
ley and feed wires and smaller wires
were blown down. Trees were up
rooted
The air was flled with flying tim
bers and splinters and with debris and
dust. The people we're stricken with
terror AS many as had time sought
shelter In cellars.
The storm passed almost as quickly
as it came, leaving the people dazed
from the suddenness of the attack OF
the elements.
After traversing Broadway for fives'
blocks, the storm cloud turned east
ward, and, after doing considerable
damage between Broadway and the riv-
er, leaped across to Madison. Its gen.
eral direction was northwest to SOUTH
east.
A part OF the roof was blown from
the factory of the Buck Stove G. Range

Six perso1s we're injured at the

The wife of the chief of the police
Of the town OF Venice was one of the
quartet which lost their lives.
In all the towns named, a number OF
barns and outhouses were demolished.
1t was reported on the wires that the
total number of injuries. including ia
talities and slight wounds, throughout
southern Illinois, as the result OF the

Many rural districts have not been
heard from as yet. and the prospect 10
that this total will be sadly Increased
