DAMAGE DONE BY BIG
STORM.

Paris KY, July 20. - Bourbon
county was visited by heavy wind
and rainstOrm yesterday afternoon
at 1 O'Clock.
The wires OF both the East Ten
nessee and Bourbon Home Tele-
phone companies were blown and
twisted together, many poles being
blown down, hundreds of trees up
rooted and one giant oak beino
lifted into the air and blown over
both sets of wires, the butt resting
over the Bourbon Home and the
top branches over the East Ten
nessee wires, allowing wagons TO
pass under.
Rain fell in torrents, shocks of
wheat and hay stacks floating in
temporary lakes made in the
meadows from the deluge of rain.
The path Of the storm was about
100 feet wide, and fortunately no
house or living thing was in its
path.

ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL.

Editor Roundabout:
My Dear Sir and Brother-As ]
unfold your ever welcome paper
this morning my heart is deeply
panied and saddened at the an
nouncement of the death of Bro.
Darsie. l can hardly believe that
it is true. He was so full of health
and fine enthusiasm that he seemed
to have a lease on a long, happy
and useful life. In his death /
have lost warm personal friend.
The sorrow of Frankfort is my sor-
row. What a noble, earnest man
he was. How hopeful he was,
always looking for the good in men
and always finding it. ] shall
never forget his warm fellowship
in the great b. Fay Mills meetings.
There we worked and prayed side
by side. He and l were often in
the same house at the same time
looking after those who had ex-
pressed an interest in salvation.
In every place and on all occasions
I always found him la1 ge-hearted,
sympathizing Christian brother.
He believed in the triumph of
and loved his fellow
men. He made it easier for men to
believe in goodness and to serve
his Master. He was an encourage
ment and an inspiration TO all his
Christian brethren and pillar Of
strength in dear old Frankfort. We
shall miss him greatly. May the
Lord of all grace comfort the be-
reaved and bless his memory to the
good of all our hearts.
Yours in sympathy,

PROMINENT GENTLEMA Ms.
DISAPPEARS.

The following dispatch appeared
in the Louisville Evening Post OF
Tuesday:
Lexington, Ky. July 19.-Local
detectives have been instructed TO
watch out for the Hon. j. r.
Adams, of Clarksburg, W. Va, who
has disappeared. MI. Adams, who
is seventy-siX years of age, and an
uncle of Rev. NJ. b. Adams, of
Frank fort, went to Springfield, o.,
to visit relatives. and left that city
on July D, en- route to Frankfort.
When last heard from he had
reached Cincinnati and had taken
the train for Lexington. He was
known to have had considerable
money on his person when he dis
appeared.
In addition we may say that Mr..
Adams left the train at Georgetown
to obtain a lunch. 1t is feared that
when he paid for his lunch he was
seen to have money and that he
was followed and made way with.
His two sons-in-law and Rev. NJ.
B. Adams are doing all they can to
ascertain his whereabouts.

FRANKFORT, JULY %, 1901
THE LESSON OF ILLINOIS.

6ralC KNOWS no pOilllCS, WRITES
Lincoln Steffens in the August Nc
Clure's, and lie then proceeds to
prove his case by finding parallel
for Democratic Missouri. whose
conditions he last discussed in his
series of articles on Enemies of
the Republic in Republican
Illinois. AS IN Missouri, the move
ment toward self-gov eminent began
in the effort of it's largest city to
free its self from the rule of special
interests.
After an eight years political
war the Republican party Of Him
OILS, the ruling party. has been
brought to represent the people.
AS in Missouri, the peoples strug-
gle for independence was led by
the prosecuting attorney of st.
Louis, Joseph W. Folk, in contest
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor. so in Illinois the tri-
umph for public opinion and public
interest has come in the nOmina-
tion for Governor Of Charles S.
Dineen, the prosecuting attorney
of Chicago, by the Republicans of
Illinois.
The story Of this eight years war,
as told by Mr.. Stetfens, is real
story full of interesting incident
and significance. The most i'm
portant concrete case which Mr..
Steffens uses to illustrate his ar
ticle, is the fight for and against
traction for the city of Chicago in
the Illinois legislature. The COM
plete reputation of the political
ring which had furthered special
interests and blocked government
for the people, came in the Repub-
lican State Convention of this
summer, which is described.
Mr.. Steffens drives home clearly
and forcibly number of important
lessons in telling the story of this
war for political independence.
Political corruption. he writes,
sis "a force by which representa-
tive democracy is transformed into
an oligarchy representative of
special interests, and the medium
of the revolution is the party. So
any movement towards practical
reform must recognize and deal
with parties. Whichever party is
in power is the grafter's party, so
must the reformer make it his also,
if he would achieve practical re-
form. In this story of Illinois, as
in Missouri, we have the fighting
done within the party, and that is
right. For parties do rule us, and
if American citizens will stick TO
party, then it is Important for all
of US to know what each decides
within himself to represent, all Of
US or few OF us, the common in
terests which ask for nothing but
law, order and fair play, and pay
for these in takes that sustain the
State; or those special interests
which seek special favors and pay
for them in brides which corrupt
the State.
More important even than this
conclusion, Mr.. Steffens points out
that Municipal reform, all by
itself, is impossible. City govern
ment and State government are of
one sovereignty, and, as for cor
ruption, the city and the State are
in one system and the city man
and the upstate man have to
work together to get what each
needs
This is the lesson that both Mis-
souri, and Illinois have had to learn,
aid its learning bespeaks better
conditions for both city and State.
