clones that has visited this part Of
the country in many years passed
across the eastern portion Of Boil
niger county from southwest to
northeast last Sunday afternoon.
The sky was overcast with dark
clouds and the weather threatening
oil the forenoon, and about noon q
brisk wind was blowing from the
southwest. Shortly after noon the
conditions grew more threatening,
but no one seemed to apprehcnd
any great danger, and nothing
worse than heavy shower Of rain
came TO our town and immediate
vicinity, and our people had no
idea that a short distance east and
northeast Of us o cyclone was max.
ing desolate 0 strip ofcountry from
an eighth to q half mile wide and
ten or twelve miles long.
The first serious damage done
by the storm was at the home Of
the Hahn Brothers, two miles east
Of Marble Hill. Their barn was
blown down and two head ofcattle
we're SO badly crippled that they
had to be killed. The next place
in the path ofstorm was Messikom-
mers, where the buildings were
badly wrecked. Rudolph Hunxi-
her, George Call; Kaiser Brothers,
Herman Rastl and John Grader
were all heavy losers.
We have not mentioned the loss.
es in fences and timber. which were
heavy. From the the reports about
eighteen buildings were destroyed
or badly damaged. Several resi-
dences were badly wrecked. John
Graders house was badly damaged,
as was the Messikommer property.
From the time the storm struck
George Calls place, it followed the
gravel road to, and beyond the
Grader neighborhood where It
lost its force, as nothing has been
heard from il beyond there. Fort
unately no loss Of life has been
reported.
We have no means by which to,
even approximately, estimate the
damage, but can safely say that this
is one Of the greatest calam,ties
that has ever visited our people.
A number of young men and
boys went out from Marble Hill
to Huskey that day to attend q ball
game and were caught In the storm
there, and if the people here bad
known Of their perilous position,
there would have been some very
nervous parents IN this vicinity.

Brown struck this tow; Saturday

at SIS. Several negro boarding
houses were caught by Browns
scheme, and the bond money was
paid in advance.
He went from one house to an
other collecting money on his
scheme until shrewd colored Wo-
man in Oscar street "srnelt a rat"
and notified the police department.
OF course the Western Union had
no such man employed to secure
boarding places for its men and no

ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES.
Beacon Lights For Mariners Coeval Whit
the Earliest Commerce.

Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to safe harbor
must have been almost coeval with
the earliest commerce. There is
positive record that lighthouses
were built in ancient times, though
few evidences now remain to us
from old writer's or in cru1nbled
ruins. This is not strange, for
light towers, never the most stable
architectural form, were exposed
to the storms of sea and war.
The Greeks attributed the first
lighthouses to Hercules, and he was
considered the protector Of voyag-
ers. It is claimed by some that
Homer refers to lighthouses in the
nineteenth book of the "Iliad."
Virgil mentions a light on tenn
pie to Apollo which, visible far out
at sea, warned and guided mariners.
The Colossus at Rhodes, erected
about 800 B. c., is said to have
shown a signal light from its upift-
ed hand.
The oldest towers known were
built by the Libyans in lower Egypt.
They were. temples also, and the
lightkeeper priests taught pilotage,
photography and navigation. The
famous tower on the isle of Pharos
at Alexandria, built about 285 B.
c., is the first lighthouse of un-
doubted record. This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, the architect,
was square in plan, of great height
and built in offsets. An open bra
zier at the top of the tower contain
ed the fuel for the light. At Dover
and Boulogne, on either of the
English channel, were ancient light
houses built by. the Romans. But
the lighthouse at Coruna, SPAIN,
built in the reign of Trajan and re-
constructed in 1884, is believed to
be the oldest existing lighthouse.
