TORNADO SWEPT
Piece OF NEVADA

Elkc, New, July 25.-'The most de-
.stuctive tornado ever known to have
occurred in Nevada swept over the
country just west of Battle mountain.
1t travelled in southeasterly direction
and destroyed everything in its path.
Trees, sagebrush and fenses we've swept
away, and 52 telegraph poles of the
Southern Pacific and the Western I'm
ion companies were twisted into splin-
tiers. Its north end touched Battle
Mountain and carried away chimneys
and porches and violently shook build
ings, badly frightening the occupants.
A large windmill ON the lawn of the
railroad hotel, in the west end of town,
was picked up and carried to the top Of
the hotel. 1t broke throuhg, badly
damaging the roof and one wall. No
persons were injured, but livestock in
the course of the cyclone is reported to
hrve been killed. Telegraphic COM
munication was put out of commission
for many hours. The entire course of
the tornado was swept clean. 1t was
proba bly, due to the intense heat of the
past few days, the thermometer having
registered over 100 degrees.

BODY OF NAVAL HERO AT HOME.
Remains of John Paul Jones Arrive in
Chesapeake Bay.

Norfolk, Va-The body of Admiral
John Paul Jones, recently found in
Paris as the result of a search in
Spired and conducted under the direc-
ton of General Horace Porter, for
mer United States ambassador to
France, has passed in the Virginia
capeS on the cruiser Brooklyn, under
Rear Admiral Sigsbee, the Brooklyn
having as consort across the Atlantic
from France the cruisers Galveston
Tacoma and Chattanooga.
Off this coast the fleet was met by
the battleship squadron of the North
Atlantic fleet in two divisions. the
first under the command of Rear Adj
miral Evans and the second command
ed by Rear Admiral Davis. The three
squadrons approached the capes to-
gether, the vessels under command
of Admiral Evans leading and the
other squadrons closely following.
Upon the vessels reaching Cape
Henry, Admiral Evans squadron pass
ed into lower Chesapeake bay at 7:1O
O'Clock. Then came the Sigsbee squad
ron. Following these were the vessels
of Rear Admilar Davis squadron.
The Sigsbee and Davis squadrons
proceeded Immediately up Chesapeake
bay, bringing the body of Admiral
Jones toward Annapolis, it's last rest
ing place, while the vessels of Ad-
miral Evans squadron said farewell
to the other fleets and proceeded to
Old Point Comfort, en- route to Lam
bert's point.
1t is understood here that in Chesa-
peake bay the body of Admiral Jones
will be transferred from the Brooklyn
and placed aboard one of the upper
bay light house tenders, which will
bear it to Annapolis for final inter-
ment on the naval reservation at that
place. Vessels of the Sigsbee and Da-
Wis squadrons will go to Annapolis to
take part in the ceremonies incident
to the reception Of the body. The
ceremonies also will be participated
in by the French cruiser Jurien de la
Graviere, which was detached from
the French North Atlantic squadron
and sent to Chesapeake bay to repre-
sent France at the ceremonies.
The French cruiser which has been
at Baltimore since her arrival in these
waters, will leave that city today to
join the American vessels bound to-
ward Annapolis.

reply to her inquiry for Mr.. Webster
was told that he was out, but when
she asked further questions she learn
ed that he had been at the office until
few minutes before the time of her
telephone call. AS she hung up the
receiver Miriam said to herself, with a
hang herself as easily.
The next half hour was one OF the
most miserable that the girl had ever
spent. She again read her lovers let
ter; but instead Of finding any COM
fort for her troubles the reading only
added to her misery. "He thought me
so modest and womanly and contrast
ed my conduct with that of others who
were not so modest! But what does
he think now that he has read my let
teri Modest girls don't propose to
men, even If the men haven't nerve
enough to propose themselves"
Miriam was still In most unhappy
frame of mind when her brother re-
turned at night from business. He had
a shame-faced look as he approached
her.
I'm sorry, sis, after all you said
about the Importance of that letter;
but-well, I've had an awful busy day
of 1t and l forgot to mail it. Here
1t Is"
Her arms were around his neck In
an instant. you dear darling, forget
full, absent-mlnded brotherr' she cried,
as he looked at her In amazement.
Now that you have forgotten to mail
the letter, just forget another thing:
forget that | asked you to mail It,"
And the brother who dearly loved
Miriam, and knew from her earnest
ness that 1t was important to her that
he should say nothing about the let
ter, kept her secret faithfully. But he
marveled as the days went by at her
continued sweetness to him, until she
told him of her engagement, and then
he explained the problem to himself
by saying that there was nothing like
requited love to change a woman's dis
position. And to this day Miriam's
brother believes that her happiness In
loving and being loved saved him from
a scoding the day he forgot to mail
her letter. Miriam has been married
for ten years, and In all that time has
kept only one thing from her husband.
That is the dark secret OF the letter
that her brother forgot to matthew

HARD RIDING IN NORTHWEST.
Halfbreed Who Made 100 Miles in
Ten Houra,

you people who came here since
the railroads were built have an idea
that we used to have bad time OF
1t in getting about Washington Terri
tory" said the old-timer the other
day. That's where you are wrong.
Distances were no greater than they
are now. True, we didn't always go
so fast as you do now, but we made
speed that would astonish you.
II remember one trip an old friend
of mine made, q big cattle man from
Kittitas County, afterward the owner
Of considerable property In Seattle. His
divorced wife was living here, and she
through the courts for non-payment Of
alimony. There were q number Of rea-
sons why he shouldn't pay, but he
didn't care to stay here and argue it
out with the court, so, getting tip
on what was doing, he decided to go
back to the cattle In Kittitas. About
9 o'clock one evening, accompanied
by his horse wrangler, who happened
to be here with him, he struck out
horseback for Ellensburg. The two
rode all night-it was in midsummer
and at the full of the moon-and the
next morning they ate breakfast In
Ellensburg-1O0 miles away. And they
didn't think it was much of a ride at
that.
Rides? Why, l could talk all day
about rides in those days. One Of
the best ever done in the territory,
however, was that by young half
breed during the Nez Perces uprising
of 1877. When Joseph went out with
his band one of the first things they
did was to cut the military telegraph
between Fort Lapwai up the Clear
water river from Lewiston and Walla
Walla. Fort Lapwai wanted to send
dispatches to Gen. Howard at the post
at Walla Walla, and wanted to send
them bad. At that time nearly all the
Indians on the reservation had q half
breed or at least one pretty good horse
in his riding string. This particular
young half-breed boy had an extra
good one, and he was selected to carry
the dispatches, being q reliable and
faithful fellow. Well, he rode through
to Walla Walla In ten hours, a distance
of 100 miles, and during the ride he
never slowed down from gallop.
That was In midsummer, and If you
ever have been in that Snake river
region at this season Of the year you
can imagine that was some riding."-
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

ly enough, as she admitted to herself,
the morning found her mind unchang-
ed, with determination fixed to take
advantage of her leap year preroga-
tives.
The writer of the letter had gone
over in her mind its prospective con-
tents a number of times, and as a re-
suit her editorial revision had "boiled
1t down" until it was brief and to the
point. 1t ran as follows:
Dear Frank-You have been COM
ing to see me for several years, and
me think how pleasant 1t would be If
we could go on spending them togeth-
er the rest of our lives. Has the idea
ever occurred to you? MIRIAM"
Miss Leslie heard her brother pass
her door, preparatory to starting for
business, and she no longer waited for
the ink to dry, but grabbed a piece Of
blotting-paper and the letter was soon
In the hands of her brother, who was
told that it was important and that it
must be mailed by him when on the
way 10 his office. The brothers de-
parture was timely, as Miriam had be-
gun to weaken in her determination,
md as she gave him the letter she said
to herself: Here's where | don't get
a chance to change my mind" She
did, however, have many changes Of
mind through the day, which seemed
to her one of unusual length. Soon af-
ter her brother had left she was tempt
ed to telephone to him to try to get the
letter back from the postoffice, but
she didn't know if that would be posi-
BILE, and besides the request would
cause her brother to ask a good many
questions which 1t would be awkward
for her to answer, and so the request
was not made.
By the afternoon mail Miriam re-
ceived a letter addressed In the we'll
known handwriting of the young man
to whom she had proposed. rs it pos
sible that he has answered so quick
ly?" she asked herself, as she held the
envelope In her hand, fearing to open
1t. She had had little experience as
writer and knew that quick returns
usually meant no sales, and her first
thought was that Frank had declined

only Miriam for an attentive audience.
she sat down at her desk at once and
began to write the letter which she
had planned the night before, after
Frank Webster had left the house. She
had parted from him with a smile on
her lips, but the smile had lasted only
long enough for the door to close upon
him, and as Miriam had entered her
room she had looked far from happy.
She had enjoyed Franks call; but it
had ended as unsat isfa ctorily as had
all the others, In that words which
would have made her happy, and
which she believed had been almost
upon his lips many times, had again
remained unspoken. If the man she
loved wouldn't take hint, he must
be given something broader than a
hint, and when Miriam went to sleep

letter on the morrow that even a
stupid man might understand. Strange

BULLET ENDS AN ESCAPE.
Sentry Fires, Upon Prisoner on Gov
ernors Island.

New York-A well conceived plan
for the wholesale delivery of military
prisoners confined at Fort Columbus
and Castle William on Governors ISL
and was foiled by the shooting of
Frederick r. Snyder, a prisoner, who,
with six others, attempted to escape.
Snyder was shot through the right
arm by Private Lyons of company E,
who was acting as a sentry. The
sound of his shot brought other SOL
diers to his assistance and ended the
escape.
Investigation has developed the fact
that the plan of escape contemplated
overpowering the sentries, talking of
their rifles and escape to some of the
tugboats moored on the northern end
of the island.

CASTRO WILL Be GOOD
Venezuelan President Decides to Fay
His Bills and Not Quarrel with
49,. lIncIa GN,n

Caracas. Jan. 20.-With the begin
ming of the new year the situation was
so n that 1T was regarded With
apprehension in circles acquainted with
the contemplated policies of President
Castro. 1t is said on ~undoubted au-
thority that Castro contemplated hast
ening what he felt to be "A crisis by
giving Minister Bowen his passport,
but was deferred by the report tina
the minister woul accept them. It.
WAS in this acute situation that some
of Castro's closest advisers induced
him to make overtureS to Bowen, who
acknowledged them by suggesting that
Castro might be able TO settle his diff
hculties with the foreign powers by
proposing to submit all the disputed
Claims TO arbitration, to make q
permanent arbitration treaty; to pay
a fixed sum of 5000, 900 bolivars year
", instead of the uncertain 80 pei
cent. of customs revenue, which would
yield this year only about 5000, 900 boil
wars; and to continue, after paying off
the allied peace powers, the same sum
to the German and British bondhold-
ers.
Castro accepted these ideas except
that he would not consent5ta arbitrate
any but the American disputed claims
unless the American government urged
him to do so in a very decided tone.
The proposed settlement is regarded
here as of great Importance, assuring
peace n preventing possible compli-
cations which might involve the Mon
roe doctrine.
