RESULTS OF TEXAS TORNADO
WORSE THAN SUPPOSED.
Property Loss is Enormous-A Dozen
Towns Struck by the Fierce Wind
Houses and Barns Wrecked-Fuil
Details OF Disaster Not Obtainable.

A Dallas, Tex, dispatch says that
storm news is coming in very slowly from
northwest Texas, where the tornado
swept over a number of towns Thursday
night, but enough is at hand to show a
considerable loss Of life and great dam
age to property, stock and crops.
AT Morgan George Anthony, Mrs.
Mary Wagley and her daughter were kill.
ed. A dozen other people were seriously
injured. Twenty houses were wrecked.
AT Putnam one man was killed end q
woman fatally hurt. Near that point a
negro cabin was swept into the Brazos
River and three negroes drowned.
Hundreds OF head of live stock are re.
ported killed in Shackleford and adjcin-
ing counties.
1t is reported that great property dam.
age was done near Cordell, Okla, just
north of the Texas line. Two lives were
lost.
The tornado at Chico, Tex, on the
Rock Island road, destroyed almost a
score Of dwellings,. In one house every
member of the Bray family was injured,
one fatally.
Reports from Dennison tell of ter
rifle electrical display, accompanied by
wind, which demolished many houses.
Crops generally were badly damaged in
that vicinity.
AT Goldthwaite, Tex, Mrs. Allen Den
mis-, George w. Mason and child of s.
Il. Harper were killed and seveh people
seriously injured. The damage to cotton
and corn crops is very severe, and many
homes were destroyed.
At Ruby several houses were wreck
ed, one child was killed and two adults
fatally injured.
At Sunset twenty buildings were
wrecked and number of persons Sc
riously injured.
At Star Mountain FIVE houses were
destroyed, two persons killed aud a num-
Der seriously hurt.
AT Holiday Springs the tornado entire
ly destroyed several buildings. Three peo-
pie were seriously hurt.
1t is feared that later reports from the
districts now cut off from telegraphic
communication will largely increase the
list OF dead and injured.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS or THE WEEK IN A CON.
DENSEp FORM.
Is Against Standard Oil-Judge Gar
lands Decision In South Dakota
Case-Refuses Temporary Iujunc-
tion-Vacates Restraining Order.

Judge Garland, of the United States
court in Sioux Falls, has rendered deci-
sion in the case of the Standard Oil Co.
VS.. Emil Branch, state oil inspector"
which is of far-reaching Importance TO
the people of South Dakota. The SUIT
was instituted for the purpose of secur-
ing an injunction restraining the state
oil inspector from putting into effect the
provisions of law enacted by the last
legislature establishing a gravity and
residue test of kerosene oil sold III the
state.
Judge Garland denies the application
of the Standard Oil Co. for temporary
injunction, and has vacated the restrain
ing order issued at the time the suit was
instituted, which prevented the company
or the oil inspector taking any further
steps pending the determination of the
suit.
Judge CarIand's decision, which is very
concise, is given in part herewith:
1.-THE motion for a temporary injunc-
ton in the above entitled action, restrain
ing the defendant from executing the pro-
visions of the laws of the state of South
Dakota in regard to the inspection of
oil, has been argued, submitted and duly
considered.
"As the court has had occasion to say
in other cases, the object of a temporary
injunction is to hold matters in statu quo
until the court can pass upon the merits
of the case. In this case the complain
ant asks the court to suspend the laws of
the state of South Dakota in regard to
the inspection of illuminating oils and
leave the state without any such law dur
ing the tendency of this suit.
I'm considering this matter the court
must take into consideration the wide
and extensive use that is made by the
citizens of the state OF South Dakota of
kerosene as an illuminating oil and the
great necessity of some law requiring an
inspection Of the same before it is sold.
1.-THE court has good reason to believe
that the conditions which exist in regard
TO compliments property, so far as the
oil which has been recently shipped into
this state is concerned, were created for
the purpose of this case, and certainly
with the full knowledge of the law of the
state"
1.-THE order SO show cause is discharged
and the restraining clause therein con-
tanned vacated and set aside"

PATHFINDER RESERVOIR.
Probably $1,OOO,OOO viii be Spent
on Irrigation Scheme.

A Washington dispatch says: the sec.
rotary of the interior has So. aside provi.
sionally the sum of $1,C0O000 for the
construction Of the Pathfinder reservoir,
IN the North Platte River IN Wyoming.
The construction will proceed contingent
upon favorable reports from the engi-
neers in the field as to the various details
still under consideration, and particularly
as to whether an adequate area of irri-
gable land can be found in western Ne
braska.
The reservoir will be of sufficient capa-
city to supply all of the land under it in
Wyoming, but it is considered necessary
to increase this area by utilizing the wa
ter in western Nebraska, where there are
large areas Of arid and semi-arid country
to which water can probably be brought.

PANIC ON 4 STREET GAR.
Eleven Persons Are Hurt, Nine of
Whom Are Women.

A Kansas City, Mo-, special says
Eleven persons, nine Of them women,
were injured in panic among the pass
engers OF crowded Independence elec-
trio car. The controller on the front end
blew out and most Of the passengers be-
came panic-stricken. In rush to get
to the rear platform Of the car, men
roughly showed the women aside, threw
an aged woman to the floor and tram
pied her, and pushed others from the
steps to the street below. Some Of the
men broke the glass in the windows with
umbrellas and jumped through the win
dows to the ground.
Mrs. John Nolan, aged 20 years, of
Independence, was so badly injured that
her condition Is critical. The others,
while painfully bruised and cut. are not
seriously injured.

Many Lives Are Reported Lost in
Texas.

A special from Cisco, Tex, says: st
Is reported here that many people Were
killed and much property and live stock
was destroyed by tornado just south of
Moran, eighteen miles north of here.
Wires are all down, and it is impossible
to get particulars at this time. Relief
parties cannot start ON account of the

At Moreand, in Shackleford County,
several people are known to have been
killed.
A tornado passed three miles west of

SPENT NIGHT IN A HOLE.
Adventure OF Two H. Year-Old Boy
Near Pierre.

De Lorme Robinson and Orville Yo'
kun, two 12-year-old boys of Pierre,
spent last Saturday night in a small hole
in the side of bluff about four miles
up the river, with no covering but their
saddle blankets. The boys were riding
up in the hills and their ponies mired.
1t took them long time to get the ponies
out of the mud, and finally, after they
had been released, they ran away and the
boys put in more time trying to catch
them, and darkness came on before they
were aware of it.
They had taken off the saddles while
the ponies were down, and being afraid
their could not find. their way home in
the dark they crawIed into a small hole
which they found, and wrapped in theiI
blankets, spent the night while anxious
parents were searching for them.

COULD NOT DIGEST PIN.
Human Ostrich" Operated on in a
New York Hospital.

John Easel, the human ostrich" who
swallowed objects made of iron and
brass, was operated on at New York for
acute indigestion caused by partaking
too heartily Of fricasse of hardware. The
surgeon succeeded in extracting from Fa-
sells alimentary canal six knives, one
gold chain, three ring chains, four keys,
twelve wire nails of all sizes, eight horse
shoe nails and a metal pin two inches
long. 1t was said that the pin caused
all the trouble by lodging in the intes-
tines. Easel is in a critical condition.
This is the second operation of the same
kind.

CHOP BULLETIN.
Seeding OF Wheat Finished in Parts
and Other Work Progressing.

A Huron special says: The season 10
very backward The weather during the
week was ns5asonably cool. In the fore
part of the week there was a generous
fall of rain or snow, and some sleet, over
the eastern portion of the state, which
much retarded seeding operations and
left considerable low or fat land too wet
to work. The precipitation was slight
in the extreme western counties, where
most moisture is needed.
The seeding of wheat is practically
finished in the southern counties, where
also the sowing of oats is far advanced,
and in the middle counties wheat seeding
is about half finished; but cool and wet
soil has retarded termination and growth
OF grain, and from number Of localities
there is report of little Of the earliest
sown wheat and oats rotting.
Considerable barley has been sown in
the extreme southern counties.
Winter rye and also the limited
amount of winter wheat sown are gener-
ally looking well, but need warm weaths

Japs Are Successful in Closing Port
Arthur.

Toxic correspondents OF the London
Telegraph and the Chronicle assert that
Port Arthur is effectually "corked."
The opinion gains ground in London
that the japanese have at last effect
ually blocked Port Arthur. No official
report GU the subject has been received,
but Toxic correspondents are very posi-
tive regarding the matter and tell of the
determination with which the enterprise
was undertaken.
The Telegraph's correspondent declares
that the entrance to Port Arthur is Sab
solutely sealed" and adds that the Jap
anese feet in effecting its purpose steam
ed into the entrance at full speed, and
that the naval officers who made the
two previous attempts begged permission
TO carry out the attack by daylight, that
being easier, and their request was
granted.
so determined were they to succeed"
adds the correspondent, that they de-
cided If necessary to lose half their men.
The number Of casualties sustained by
the japanese has not yet been an
nounced."
In favor of the supposition of Japan
csc success in blocking Port Arthur it is
pointed out that the previous attempts
had left the channel so narrow that a
couple of vessels sunk in the fairway
would probably suffice to seal up the en-
trance, while there is a noticeable eva
sion and half-heartedness in the Russian
denials of the enemy's success.
There is no confirmation of Paris ru-
NOR that an engagement between Rus
sian and japanese squadrons had taken
place off Vladivostok, and st. Petersburg
knows nothing of the rumored capture
Of NeWchwang.

TO BOOST INSURANCE RATES
Western Cities Likely to Have to

1t has been practically settled by the
committee of the Union Fire Insurance
Association at Chicago to advance pre-
miums in the west at least 20 per cent
within month.
This organization Of underwriters has
decided that in view of the losses caused
by the Baltimore. Rochester and Toronto
fires, rates in the 'confagration dis
tricts" of large cities are too low aud has
determined upon the advance.
BY June it is believed that the insur-
ance rates in Chicago, Milwaukee, Des

Lake City, San Francisco, st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Kansas City and other large
cities in the west will be increased.

They were exceedingly haggard VIXEN
