"SOULS ON FIRE. /"

The greatest serial story of the year
by Louis Tracy, famous author of ''The
Wings of the Morning and ''The Pill
lar of Light" will be exclusive to the
readers of the color magazine given
free with each copy of "The Philadel-
phia Press, beginning Sunday, March
26. The Sunday Magazine will be the
only publication in America where this
great story may be read. By special
arrangement with Mr.. Edward j.
Clode, Mr.. Tracy's American publisher
this story will not appear in any other,
published form until 1906.
England, Russia and America furnish
the principal characters in this remark
able and timely story. Love and
thrilling adventure is the theme, as in
all of MIR. Tracy's most successful
work. The action begins with bomt
thrown in London, an Anarchist meet
ing in Tottenham Court Road, some
sensational disclosures in the Russian
colony in England, and then shifts e
the castle of a Russian provincia
governor, or Little Czar," whose sub
iects are in revolt at his intrigues
The plot affords superb opportunit,
for brilliant display of the author
swift imagination, and an almos
equally interesting display of his in
innate knowledge Of Russian life of tc
day.

In re-electing Samuel J. Reynolds,
president, and Harry B. Grieves, Sec
retary and clerk, the Town Council at
its recent session paid a deserving
compliment. They have labored faith
fully and diligently for the best inter
est of the town and have proven them
selves worthy of the Office to which
they have been reelected. The ex-
pertinent of having one man act as
secretary and town clerk has worked
most satisfactory, and the Council
should make the two offices one SO
that they cannot be changed in the fu-
ture. With good record for economy
in the past year, the new Counci
starts another year with hattering
prospects and it is to be hoped that the
improvements at the Power Station
long contemplated may be accom-
plished.

NUMBER OF PERSONS INJURED
AND SEVERAL BUILDINGS
DEMOLISHED.

Appleton, Mimi, March 28.-A cy-
clone struck Louisburg, eight miles
southwest OF this. city In Lac qui
Parle county, during the evening,
completely demolishing the: business
district, consisting of about a dozen
stores, wrecked three grain elevators
and a grain depot and unro0fed or
damaged nearly every house in the
village. Seven persons were injured,
several seriously.
ID, The wind, which had prevailed all
day, reached q high velocity toward
evening, and at s: 80 o'clock became
,cyclonic in its force Beyond, the
damage done at Louisburg no other
storm reports are received from this
VICINITY; j I: 4: C4EOQEfl't5 -
From Breckenridge, on. the Water
town branch of the Great Northern, a
relief train was dispatched to Louis
burg Us soon as news of the storm
was received and from Appleton doc
tors went on a handcar to give med
ical assistance Madison, which is
twelve miles south of the stricken
village, also sent aid to the sufferers.
The direction Of the cyclone, it ia
reported, was from southeast to north;
west, and beside the high wind that
prevailed it gave little warning Of it's
approach. That there were not a
number OF. persons killed by falling
walls and flying debris is considered
remarkable. .

Cleveland. March 2S.-Unless the
higher court interferes, Mrs. Cassie J..
Chadwick will spend the greater part
of the next ten years in the Ohio pent.
Tertiary. ....-:.
A sentence of ten years was impos'
ed on her by Judge Robert w. Tayles
in the United States district court at
5 p. m. The sentence came at the
close of busy day for the court In
hearing arguments on motion for
new trial which lasted all day. The
motion was overruled.
Mrs Chadwick was. convicted on
seven counts and sentenced upon siz
counts. For four of these counts q
sentence of two years each was impos
ed. Upon two counts sentence OF
one year each was imposed, making q
total sentence of ten years.
The first step taken by the defense
will be to ask for stay of sentence
until the appeal is carried out. There
was an understanding with United
States Marshal Chandler. United
States Attorney Sullivan and the
court during the day that there would
be no attempt to execute the sentence
until the defense had had an oppor
tunity to carry the case to the higher
court and thus secure a stay Of sen
tence.

In answer to request for state

Received your cable. l do not be.
lieve there will be any trouble, and If

patch from President Castro:
Il have received your telegram.
There is In reality between Venesue-
la and Washington no question of suf-
fcient Importance to occupy public at

serious persons. Your minister holds
himself aloof from the good under
standing which exists, but Venezuela
will defend with ardor the common
interests and honor Of both countries. !"
