FORT WORTH. Tex, July 5.-A tor
nado which struck Texas in the upper
edge Of Montague county coming from
the northeast and swinging far to the
southeast, this afternoon caused the
loss, 1t is believed, of forty lives. in
jured a large number of people and did
untold damage to growing crops and
cattle.
Fortunately the tornado missed the
small towns in the section through
which it swept, but it zigzagged in such
way as to take in the homes of many
farmers and stock raisers in the sec
ton.
At Jacksboro the force of the wind
was terrific. The Baptist church and
twenty other buildings were blown off
their foundations and a number of
buildings totally destroyed.
Mrs. Travis Calhoun was seriously
injured. Travis Calhoun, Mrs. Thomas
Horton and Henry Wesser and family
were also injured.
At Montague no lives were lost in the
town. but in the country great loss of
life is reported. The wires are down in
all directions and it is difficult to get
particulars.
Ten persons are known to be dead in
the neighborhood of Montague. Most
of those killed lived on Salt creek,
along which the tornado swept with
special force.
At Nocona the tornado passed few
miles to the south and later lists give
the dead at fourteen and the injured
at forty-one.
A reliable man at Nocona, who has
been over the scene, says that reports
were being received of the dead when
he left there and he places the loss of
life at sixty.
Owing to the widely separated homes
and the fact that in many instances
whole families were wiped out. details
and names are hard to get.

Special to The Herald.
EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, July Sat
Allen park, three miles northeast OF
here, today Roy Stokes, an aeronaut,
was caught in the ropes of a balloon in
which he was to make an ascension
and carried up into the air some thirty
feet, head down. Stokes shoe pulled
off under the strain and permitted the
aeronaut to drop back to the earth. He
was picked up unconscious and hurried
to the hospital. Tonight it is reported
that his injuries will probably terminate
fatally.
Stokes helpers were attaching the
parachute when the balloon broke
away, dragging the aeronaut by the
heels up into the air. The balloon
ascended over 500 feet before the hot
air which was used to raise it had
sufficiently cooled to allow the balloon
to descend.

WILD WITH JOY
ELATED OVER SUCCESS or

GENERAL REVOLT EXPECTED
knisz PotemkIne Believed to Be
Headed for Poto or Batoum Where
the Caucasus Authorities
Are PowerIess
By Associated Press

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG July 9, 2:10 a.
m.-While no official confirmation II
obtainable, the Associated Press has
been informed by an authority usually
reliable, that the admiralty has re-
ceived news that the Kniaz Potem-
kline after shipping coal, provisions and
medical supplies, is again at large in
the Black sea and that her destination
is unknown. Whether the report of
the sailing Of the battleship is true or
not, the crew took a remarkable step
yesterday when, with all the soemnity
Of a provisional government, it issued
manifesto addressed to the powers
announcing that civil war had begun
against the existing regime in Russia
and pledging the inviolability Of for
eign shipping and foreign ports.
This action was doubtless taken to
quiet the apprehensions of foreign
powers and to leave no excuse for the
sending of warships through the Dar-
danelles to effect the capture of the
battleship, which until now Russia's
Black Sea fleet has not dared to at
tempt 1t is considered a shrewd
move on the part OF the mutineers,
stamps the commander Of the crew as
leader far above the class OF the or
dinary sailor, and strengthens the
opinion that he is not a member of
the original crew, but one of the revo-
n cf xr,lA
Odessa.
The issuance of the manifesto lends
certain dignity to the mutiny and
proves that the crew and their COM
mander have no desire that the world
should believe them to be mere outlaws,
but that they should be looked upon as
men seriously raising the STANDARD of
revolution.
Nothing has been received to con-
firm the supposition that the request for
doctor at Theodosia indicated a
struggle for supremacy on the way
from Kustenji.
Crew Well Supplied With Money
According to rumor printed in an
afternoon paper the ships strong box
contained $375,O00 and the mutineers
would therefore be well supplied with
money.
In circles closely in touch with the
revolutionists it is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion that the commander Of
the Kniaz Potemkine, knowing the situ-
alton in the Caucasus, will head for
Poto or Batoum, where the revolutions
lists are exceedingly strong. in the hope

COLOR BLIND PEOPLE,
Some Queer Selections Made by Per
sons Thus Afflicted

Cincinnati Comme-cial-Tribu A
weil-knOWn oculist, who has an office
on West Seventh street. while discuss
ing some of the various defects of the
human eye which are not noticeable to
the ordinary observer had this to say
about clOr-blind people:
The world must be Il curious place
80 color blind people, of whom there
are 40 males ana females to every LOCO
persons. Some are blue yellow blind.
ana everything seems either red, green
or gray to them; others are red-green
blind and all things appear to them
to be yellow. blue or gray of various
shades. and others again perceive no
distinction in color at all, but the
whole world appears an unchanging
aspect of dull gray. To these latter q
visit to a picture gallery would reveal
merely collection of engravlngs or
tphotogra phs. But the two former have
the compensation of seeing their own
two colors much more brightly than or
binary people.
The color blind do extraordinary
things at times. An officer of the navy
went one day to buy material for a
coat, vest and trousers. He bought a
blue coat and red trousers, believing
them of the same color. A British ad-
niral painted landscape, and was
very proud of his performance. but he
made the tree red thinking it the same
color as green. When he purchased a
pair of trousers he chose green ones,
suspecting them to be brown. An
architects pupil, being directed to copy
a picture of a brown house, made the
house green, the sky scarlet and the
roses blue.
"A postof1ice clerk was always short
in his accounts because he could not
distinguish the different colored
stamps. And sedate Quaker has been
known to buy green coat for himself
and a red gown for his wife, thinking
they were both brown. If you see man
in the street with a preposterous dis
play Of colors charitably believe him
to be one of the color blind. Just why
the eyes of women are less defective
in the matter of distinguishing colors
than those of a man is one of the
things in nature that is unexplained.
The construction of the same, yet
woman's superiority in ma itching colors
has always been recognized. even where
man has had the advantage of long

New Orleans Times Democrat: For

have been made to shoulder these odd
titles off on the south. The expressions
are frequently used in the south, and
often by persons of high culture. 1t
is not uncomon to hear an educated
man ask, How are you alp" by which
he means to inquire about al the mem
bers of a particular family. So educa-
ted men and women frequently say,
I'VE all get along nicely here by
which they mean AL members of
the family" and so on. 1t is more di-
rect way of saying the thing. 1t con-
veys the idea clearly enough, and is not
open to any objection on the ground of
"vagueness and uncertainty"
OF course these expressions are used
only in talking. Persons who con-
stantly say you all would never think
iof writing it in this way. You ALI
