Hundreds of live stock were killed
in the fields. and the damage to crops
over the entire stretch of country
touched by the tornado is enormous
That many lives were not lost was
owing TO the warming of the storms

Closing Scenes.

There were number of musical fea-
lures at all the services. The Winner
brothers were on hand all day with
their cornets. Mrs. Davis, who is a
singer as wen as a preacher, sang
Coming Home" at the morning serv-
ice. In the afternoon Miss S. Preston
and Miss Willing sang a duet and Miss
Preston sang again at the evening
service. Miss Preston is spending part
of her vacation at the Summit and has
enliyened many of the meetings by
her vocal efforts.
Saturday night, after the close of the
services. a party of young people sur
rounded the tent of a young minister
and serenaded him and his wife. The
serenaders made a terrific noise. One
man in the excitement Of the moment
dashed into his tent and emerged hug
ging a wash boiler. He hammered the
a hole i'm it, and his wife appeared
about that moment and gave him to
understand that he would have to buy
her a new boiler out of his pocket
money.
A woman who is evidently a disciple
of Carrie Nation was on the grounds
yesterday and made strenuous efforts
to reform some of the young men who
were smoking. Young men," she
cried, approaching a young fellow who
was smoking a cigarette, do you know
that you are committing suicide?' The
smoker dropped his cigarette i'm amaze
ment and felt his throat, evidently ex-
pecting to find rope there. The wo-
man paused long enough to lecture the
young fellow and then moved to an
other group. She stopped in horror
when she found several smoking pipes.
She argued the point with these smok-
ers, but failed to make an impression.

The Price.

1t always costs more to get good article than
poor one, but the poor is dear at any price,
whereas the good article never costs more than it is
worth. Intelligent persons will not pay more for a
thing than it is worth. The attendance of short
hand students at Goldey College during the past
school year was three times larger than it sew
eral years ago.
We could easily offer a lower rate, but that
would mean inferior teachers and cheap facilities,
neither of which patrons would have, for they
