ern portion of the city, and particu-
larly heavy along Front street, one
of the principal business streets OF
the town. Nearly every house on
Front street was demolished. The
Armour Packing company's plant is
the only building left standing, and
the roof of that is gone Fire broke
out in the ruins and, despite the
heavy rain, the flames burned f1ercely.
A number of bodies are reported to
be in the ruins. The city Is in total
darkness. the electric light plant hav-
ing been badly damaged. The tornado
did severe damage at other points
adjacent to Meridian, and all trains
entering Meridian are delayed.
A conservative estimate places the
number of buildings blown down at
between thirty and forty. The heav-
lest losers are the Meyer & Neville
Hardware company, Tom Lyle G. Co.,
Joseph Moore, dry goods and gro
ceries; the New Orleans & Northwest

buildings the names of which are not

beets. These should be trimmed as

ANOTHER CONFESSION IN

Clean Breast of It.
Boise, Idaho.-The announcement is
made that Steve Adams, arrested at
Haine, Ore, on February 20, in con,
nection with the Steunenberg assassi-
nation, has made full and sweeping
confession.
This second confession is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard This statement was made by
James MCFARLAND, the famous detec
tive, in the presence of Governor
Gooding and ]. H. Hawley, who is in
charge of the prosecution.
Mr. MCFARLAND added that Adams
confession fully and exactly corrobor-
ated that made by Orchard at every
point touched upon by both
Moreover" Mr. MCFARLAND con-
tinued, Adams knows far more of
the workings of the inner circle than
Orchard did, and was able to give
mass of detailed information that Or
chard's confession did not cover.
THE confession of Adams he said,
"corroborated that given by Orchard
in every substantial point connected
with the assassination Of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg. Adams, however, was
not at Caldwell at the time of the
assassination nor was Orchard at the
time of the unsuccessful effort in No.
vember. The man who assisted Orch.
ard ON that latter occasion, as set
forth in Orchards confession, was
Jack Simpkins."
Still another statement made by
the detective was that the Adams. con-
fession gave the details Of a large
number of murders that were not re-
ferred to in any manner by Orchard.
1t was further stated that the confes-
sion had been reduced to writing,
signed and acknowledged. 1t was a
Nolumnious document, covering
greater field and in more detail than
that made by Orchard The further
statement was made that Adams had
made this confession without being
promised anything. When talked
with about the matter he simply
made a clean breast of all he knew
of this case and of the secret work
ings of the Western Federation.

PERFUMES CAUSE OF HvsrERIA.
Danger in the Use Of Combinations Of
scents.

Chemists find many interesting ex-
periments in the compromising OF
scents. Almost all perfumes have ~
basis ambergris or ciyet. And while
they are most necessary, great care
must be observed in their use, for a
grain too much will make the scent
distressingly irritating to the wearer,
as well as to those with whom she
comes in contact The same is true Of
many combinations Of perfumes, and
several separate scents attacking
sensitive set of nerves at one time
may produce hysteria. though the suf-
ferer may be at loss to find reason
for the attack. This in itself is a good
argument against the indiscriminate
use Of perfumes. Good taste has long
waged war against the use, but with
small results Particularly during the
last few years has there been an in
crease in the offence.-New York
