H WESTERN TORNADO
V ORkS DEATH AND TERRI
BILE DESTRUCTION.
Fifteen Are Dead and Many IN
jured-Thousands Of Acres of
Farm Land Under Water
Houses Wrecked.

st. Louis, April 25.-Fifteen dead
and score of injured mark the path
Of a tornado which swept through
Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas
and Indian Territory yesterday and
to-day. The greatest loss of life thus
far reported was IN Indian Territory,
the dead in two places there number
ing thirteen, with sixteen others seri-
Ously injured. Arkansas added the
other two to the death roll.
T~orrential rain followed the tor
nado, and as a consequence many
rivers are nea the danger mark and
scores of small streams have over
flowed their banks. Nebraska and
Iowa were on the edge of the de
vastating storm and flood conditions
now prevail in many sections Of
those States. IN a number of cases
houses have been swept away by the
rushing waters, their occupants haV-
ing narrow escapes. Thousands Of
acres of farm land, especially in the
bottoms, are under water, and much
damage has been done to wheat and
other growing crops.
Seven persons net instant death
and ten others were seriously in
jured III the tornado at Falkland, In
dian Ty., and half a dozen business
blocks were leveled to the ground. |
Four miles south of Falkland the
country was swept clean of farm
houses and barns, but it has been
impossible to obtain definite infor-
as to the fate of the residents
that section.
Near Pryor Creek six persons
were killed.

BLACKBURN HIT N TIE JIM
BY JIM MOTT, SON OF DIR.
j. j. MOTT.


StatesviIle, \. c., April 20,-Be-
cause the Hon. f. Spencer Black
burn spoke to jim Mott, son Of DR.. j.
j. Mott, the latter dealt him a ter
rife blow on the jaw on the public
street here this evening.
Mr.. Blackburn was speaking to
some friends and in passing Mr..
Mott he addressed him, saying,
"IIello, JIM" and Jim replied with
a heavy right-hander. The attitude
of Mr.. Mott towards MI. Blackburn.
as Mr.. Mott stated, is due to the
threats he had made against his
father, who led Mr.. Linney's fight i'll
the Wilkesboro convention. The
atfray between Mr. Mott and Mr..
Blackburn created Il sensation on the
streets, and but for the police INFER
a general encounter would
have resulted between Mr.. Motifs
and Mr.. Blackburn'5 friends.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Raleigh Post.

The ARGUS is disappointed at the
result, in Goldsboro city and town.
ship. of the election held on Tuesday
to subscribe to the stock of a railroad
from that city to Seven Springs, the
proposition to issue bonds being de-
feated, and appeals to the business
men to take hold of what is evident
w a good Thing. If The Post may
venture a suggestion it would be
that an acknowledgement could be
built much more cheaply than a
steam road, and would prove far
more popular ami, we believe, profit
able. The scheme is certainly an
inviting one, and merits the support
given it, and if the corporation or
ganized in it's interest will turn its
attention to a trolley it will nc doubt
succeed.
This is how others, conversant
with the adjuncts to a city's develop
ment and progress, look at 1t, and
consider Goldsboro's opportunity
and duty in the premises.-ED.

WAR To The FINISH.
RUSSIA WILL NOT ACCEPT
MEDIATION.
VIII Prosecute the War With All
the Resources Of the Empire I'm
I'll Victory is Won, Then Deal
With Japan Direct.

st. Petersburg, April 26.-The
Associated Press is enabled to an
nouuce authoritatively that the talk
of mediation in the Russo-Japanese
war was founded upon the personal
desires Of KING Edward and King
Christian, Of Denmark, to avoid fur
ther bIood5htd and end the conflict,
but that the steps instituted have
utterly failed. The Emperor, with
the full concurrence Of the imperial
family, and his advisors, has firmly
decided not only to reject all pro-
posals looking to intervention, but
to prosecute the war with all the re-
sources Of the empire until victory
crowns the Russian arms, and then
when the time comes for peace to
make terms directly with the enemy.
The interference of outside powers
viii not be tolerated. There IS to be
no repetition of the Berlin Congress.
Furthermore, the Associated Press
is authorized 10 state that Russia
will in no wise consider herself
bound by the propositions made to
prior to the war. The hostj1-
tiles have wiped out the engagements
offered to make with Japan
Korea and Manchurla.
Russia will consider herself free to-
impose such terms as she desires.
1t is known that after the disaster
to the Petropavlovsk the King Of
wrote the Emperor a let
of sympathy in which he ex~
pressed the hope that a way should
be found to avoid further bloodshode
1t is apparent to every keen OBJ
server here hat Russian people are
not in a temper to consider peace.

CARN EGIE'S LATEST BENE
FACTION.

There is much that is admirable in
Andrew Carnegie's latest move in
his philanthropic programme. The
founding of a So, 900, 900 fund 1or-the
benefit of 'the dependents of those
losing their lives in heroic efforts to
save their fellow-men, or for the he
roes themselves, if injured only"
will serve a noble purpose in alleviat-
ing the possible distress of many peo-
pie who deserve more than they re-
ceive from a not too grateful world.
It is doubtful, however, if as much
can be said for the effect of the fund
in putting a pecuniary premium up
on heroism. The sublimity of hero
ism is its disinterestedness, and the
greatest hero is the man who does an
act Of notable bravery without hope
of reward or care for the worlds ap-
plause.
Still, Mr.. Carnegie's "hero fund.-
is a comforting assurance to men of
heroic mettle that they will beunder-
written against the forgetfulness and
ingratitude of the world in the event
that their heroism leads to physical
disability or the leaving of widows
and orphans behind them.
Under Mr.. ~Carnegie's plan there
will be a certain income Of $3.50, 900
per annum to be devoted to the help
of heroic souls and their dependents
in the United States and Canada.

HYOMEpS SUCCESS IN COLDS
BORO.
Cured Many Serious Cases of Ca
tarrh. J. H. Hill & Son
Will Refund MoneW If
1t Fails.

No other medicine or treatment
for catarrh has ever achieved such
quick and remarkable success in
Goldsboro as Hyomei. The fact that
j. HI. Hill & Son when they first in
troduted Hyomei sold it under a
positive guarantee to refund the
money in case it did not cure, con-
triputed largely to it's successful in
PRODUCTION. A guarantee from a firm
like j. H. Hill & Son gave people
confidence at the start.
Those who obtained a Hyomei
outfit found that the treatment did
all hal was claimed for it; that the
first few breaths of Hyomei cleared
the air passages and gave an exhil-
aratlng and invigorating effect. Its
continued use freed the system from
all catarrhal germs, sOOthed and
healed the mucous membrane, and
made a complete and lasting cure.
Compared with the dangerous
stomach dragging that had been
used heretofore in the treatment of
catar1h, the baIsamic air of Hyomei
created a most favorable impression.
And the medicine itself did even
more than was claimed for it. In
fact, to make a success, it was nee
cessary that Hyomei should cure
nearly every case of catarrh in which
it was used, for every outfit was sold
or a guarantee to refund the money
in case it failed.
If it had not possessed unusual
merit, an offer like this would have
resulted in an enormous loss. But
curing as it did, Hyomei sOon gained
an enviable reputation and made
many friends who recommend 1t far
and near. Its success here in Colds
boro has qeen remarkable, and j.
H. Hill d Son are still selling it an
their personal guarantee to refund
the money in case it does not give
satisfaction.

Mr.. G. j. Parker, secretary and
business manager of the A. & NJ.
Summer school, writes as follows:
"Thinking, perhaps, it might be
of interest to the public and incen-
tive to others to publish the list of
counties which have agreed to pay

it worth while: Alamance, Rock

mans, Robson, Durham, Warren,
Pitt, Harnett, Wake, Franklin,
Vance, BERTHE, Wayne and Johnston.
"Others have the matter under
consideration and I presume will
take similar action. Rockingham
and Vance will pay travelling ex-
penaes of their teachers, in addition
to tie tuition charges. The town of
Re!d-viiie Will do the same thing.
We think these counties deserve
SPECIAL mention, because of the spirit
of progress they have manifested in
this matter. 1t is something new in

PALISADE WINS GAME
Defeats Grand Junction Team Yesterday by
Score of 10 to 7.

mond unfortunately had his search
lights glued ON him, and he saddened
us all by waving him the. you r OUT
signal on the hot throw from home.
Some were inclined TO think that the
umpire landed us few - on that
play.
Johnson stepped out of the box in
the sixth inning. Fleishman took his
place. and he had the Palisade boys
swinging their necks crooked at his
twistors du1i ing the rest of the mat
inee. Only once after this, and that
in the eighth innin5. when Nelson
Strengthened out foI two sacks, did
those sun worshlppers have promise
with Fleishman's offerings. He pitch
ed better ball than Foresman but the
luck of the game did not break for
him like it did for ISM ling Joseph.
In the ninth inning the beet grow
ers made an attempt to assault the
sunworshippers stronghold. The
chances looked bright several times
but bad decision at home prevented
more than one man from making the
circuit.
In the seventh inning Dad Nelson
convinced the umpire that one of
Fleishman's ''snoozers' had kissed
one of his meat hooks. 1t took
diamond mass meeting to settle the
trouble, with King gesticulating in
French and Grating in English. But
the umpire closed mp ranks with
a snap that was vicious.
Kerstetter has caught many good
game of ball. but he never appeared
to better advantage than he did yes
terday. Foresman was in fine form,
and got out of several tight places
by hard pitching and the splendid

A BASTARD DEED
Thirteen Miners Blown Into Eter-
nifty by an Internal Machine
Great Excitement in the Cripple
Creek District All Mines are
Closed Down.

Victor, June 6-An explosion under
the platform of the Independence station
of the Golden Circle railway at 3 %
O'Clock this morning killed thirteen
men and wounded thirteen others so
badly that they will probably die.
The depot was completely wrecked.
/. The dead and wounded composed the
night shift of the Findley mine.
They are all non union men. Great
excitement prevails throughout all the
Cripple Greek district.
The explosion was caused by an in
fernal machine, which consisted of a
loaded revolver and long slender steel
wire, attached to the trigger "he
wire ran from the depot about 400
feet away.
The dynamiter had placed the pow
der close to the muzzle of the gun
and when he pulled the wire the ball
entered the explosive and set it off.
All the mines throughout the district
are closed down and the militia has
taken charge of the bodies of the dead
men.
Just about the time the explosion
took place a train was approaching
the station. Had it been minute or
two earlier in all probability "a large
number of the passengers would have
been killed.
