Destructive TORNADO SWEEPS
THROUGH Faulkner COUNTY

Devastating every thing in its path
a tornado swept through Faulkner
county Monday afternoon, inJurlng
scores of people, rendering probably
forty families homeless and doing
thousands of dollars damage to
houses, crops, fences and timber.
That no one was killed is consider
ed almost miraculous, as in dozen
instances residences were razed to
the ground and rendered into kind
ling wood while their occupants
escaped with their lives.
The course of the storm was in a
northeasternly direction. Its path
across the county was about one
quarter mile wide and extended
probably twenty-five miles in
length. Originating apparently
somewhere in Perry county, where
great damage is reported, the tor
nado crossed the Arkansas river
at the Frauenthal place between
the mouth of the Cadron and the
Gwinn ferry, passing thence
through the Salem negro settlement
in northeasternly direction, cross
ing the railroad just west of the
tunnel, crossing the East Cadron
between the King and Terry
bridges, passing through old Lin
der and thence into Matthews
township, hey ond which point no
report of damage has been received.
So far as can be learned, of the
great number that received injuries,
none are fatally hurt. James Bell ,
a negro living on the Max Frauen-
thai place, is perhaps the most ser
iously injured and may not recover.
Green Evans had three ribs broken
and his wife suffered broken arm.
Mrs. J. A. Crye and daughter were
both painfully though not seriously
hurt.
Work of the Storm.
The tornado, which entered this
county at the southwestern corner,
was viewed by parties on the east
bank of the river as it razed timber
and houses in Perry comfy. 1t
was typical funnel-shaped cloud,
and those who got close view OF
it say the cloud was gigantic
whirling mass of timber, wreckage
and debris of every description.
AS it came across the river, col
umns of water probably hundred
feet in height were lifted into the
cloud and the seething water pre-
sented an awesome spectacle.
The force of the wind was terrific.
Giant trees were wrenched up by
the roots, whirled high in the air
and dropped to the ground as if
they were feathers. In its immed-
late path everything was swept
clean. Even the small growing
crops of cotton and corn were
blown out of the ground. Bark
was stripped from small saplings.
Chickens. goats, hogs, ETC., were
in many instances blown entirely
away and have never been located
by their owners.
After the tornado crossed the
river, the first place destroyed was
the home of James Bell, who rents
the Max Frauenthal place. Bell
and his family, which consists of
wife, mother-in-law and two child
rem, were all blown out Of their
house distance of several hundred
yards, and all were more or less in
jured, Bells injuries being serious.
His house was reduced to kindling
wood. The house of Ed. Connolly
on the same place was also COM
pletely destroyed, but no one was
Injured. The house of another

intelligently. Beveridge insisted that
there was no politics in the plan, but
the Democrats indicated that they ex-
pected to make revision part of their
campaign this year.
Widows' Pension Bill Passed.
Unanimously under suspension of
the rules, Feb 3, the house voted to
raise from So to $12 the minimum pen
sion to be given to the widows of vet
Grams of the Mexican, Indian, civil and
Spanish wars.
Leader Williams Dissents.
Williams of Mississippi, the Demo
cratic leader, replied to>Hepburn and
denied that the message met with the
approval of the entire people, asserting
that "there are things in 1t sensation
nj, federalistic and dangerous to the
American republic" He (Williams)
hoped to see the standard of rebellion
against the house machine raised by
Hepburn. For his part he was not
afraid of radical in the White House,
intimating that Bryan might be the
next occupant Corporations would not
be properly punished until the punish
ment was visited upon the flesh and
blood from whose brains and by who's,
acts violations Of the law take place,
sarcastically referring to the fact that
Paul Morton had left the cabinet with
the presidents approval and common
dation after having confessed to viola
ton of the laws by the corporation of
which he was the head. Mr.. Williams
then outlined the programme of legis-
lation on which the Democratic party
would insist, the important objects be-
ing publicity as to campaign funds, no
tice to the defendant before issuance
of an injunction, popular election Of
senators and investigation of the paper
trust.
The Republican leader, Payne of
New York, replied to Williams and 9th
err Democrats and gave notice positive
ly that there would be no tariff revi-
sion at this session, referring especial
ly to the bill introduced by Williams
for investigating the paper trust.
Culberson Arraisns CorteIyou.
In the senate Culberson, the Demo-
cratic leader, severely arraigned Sec
rotary Cortelyou for his acts during
the recent financial panic, saying that
the secretary's report supplied proof of
his violations of law on many points.

Prince Manuel, who was only wound
ed in the arm. almost Immediately was
proclaimed king as Manuel III. In Man
uePs name a proclamation was issued
promising his support of the constitu-
ton, to maintain the Catholic religion
and the integrity of the kingdom. 1t
retains in Office the existing ministry.
Throughout the city there were evil
dences of the sorrow of the populace.
1t appears there were three men en-
gagged in the murderous work and that
after one had killed himself the other
two were shot on the spot by the
guards.
Later q new cabinet was formed,
with Vice Admiral Ferreira do Amaral
at its head. 1t was formed by coali-
ton of monarchists, progressives and
regcnerationists. Franco was obliged
to retire and his system OF repression
abolished.
kaid MacLean Ransomed.
The British government has finally
succeeded in bringing to a successful
issue its negotiations with the bandit
Raisuli of Morocco, which will result
in the release of Kaid MacLean, in re-
turn for which Great Britain will pay
Raisuli 100000 and guarantee him
protection and immunity from arrest
MacLean has been held captive by the
bandits for the past seven months.

INDUSTRIAL
Railroads Cut Service.

Railroads Cut Service.
Lehigh Valley officials have announc-
ed that the famous Black Diamond ex
press, running from Philadelphia to
Buffalo, will be taken off within few
days. Retrenchment is being made on
a 10 per cent basis, and the withdraw
al of this famous train Is part of
such programme. A number of men
are to be released and cuts made in the
freight and general passenger service.
The Pennsylvania and Reading roads
are taking similar action. The Altoona
shops of the former are practically
closed, and cuts in freight and passen-
ger service have been made by both
roads.
$4,000 Idle Cars.
According to a report of the Ameri-
can Railway association, the number
Of idle freight cars of all kinds on the
railroads of this country and Canada
on JAN % was 33S,000, this including
II 900 on Canadian roads. The severest
effects Of the falling off in business, ac-
cording to the report, have been felt in
the highest proportion of steel, iron
and coal is carried. Railroads enter
ing Pittsburg have so many idle loco
motives that they have not room for
them in roundhouses and are compelled
to board them up from the weather on
side tracks. The Panhandle Is said to
have forty-eight thus boxed up, while
the B. and O., the Pennsylvania and
the Wabash have many more.
Premium For Civility.
The Pullman company has mailed
checks representing total Of $175,000
to certain OF its employees as an ex-
preston Of its gratitude for courtesy
to the travelling public in 1907. The
checks went to 1,153 conductors and
2,G17 porters, being one months pay to
each man. These are all on the roll
Of honor" Five hundred and thirty
six conductors and 1,7S3 porters re-
ceived no checks.

CONGRESSIONAL
Message Defended In House.

On both sides Of the chamber last
week speeches were made in support
of the policies advocated In the special
message of the president. Townsend,
the Michigan Republican whose name
was connected with the rate bill, start
ed the ball with a review of antitrust
and railroad legislation and endeavored
to show that these were not RESPONSE
BILE for the panic and that the Demo-
Gratis did not initiate the policies of the
administration.
Bourke Cochran of New York, speak
ing for the opposition party, held that
the elements of progress in the gov
eminent today had their source in the
Democracy. Nevertheless he euloglzed
the president as a crusader and "the
most heroic figure in the history of
the American government" Then,
amid thunderous applause on the Dem
ocratic side, he announced his allegiance
to Bryan as the Democratic candidate
for president. Cochran assailed bit
terly the course pursued by the wealthy
men who had tried to place on the
president blame for the panic merely
because he had talked about enforcing
the law impartially against malefac-
tors. He was glad the president had
accepted their challenge.
Hepburn Of Iowa, one of the fore
most Republican leaders, closed the de-
bate, saying that he was as ardent as
Cochran in his approval Of the mes
sage and that the American people
''stand behind him in everything he
has done" The presidents only crit
les, he continued. "are the malefactors
he has exposed and their apologists.y :
He didn't believe that anything would
be done by this congress to clothe the
president with the desired power to
put his views in practice. Replying
to the Democrats, Hepburn said they
dared not use any but honeyed words
In discussing the message, "for they
knew 1t met the expectations and hopes
Of the people and were trying to APP
proprlate its provisions" z
Sherwood Of Ohio, the Democrat who
has just re-entered congress after an
absence of thirty-four years, scored the
president as n borrower OF Bryan re-
forms and eulogized the Nebraskan.
To Abolish Pension Agencies.
The annual pension BILL as favorably
reported to the house, carries total
appropriation of S15O,S69,0O0. AS a
method Of economy IL proposes to con-
solidate all the branch agencies In GER
tain cities into the central bureau at
Washington. This policy is opposed by
the G. A. r. There are now 967, 371
persons on the pension roll. and the
sum paid them last year was 1888, $780,
894.
eevsridge's Tariff Plan.
In the senate Beveridge spoke IN sup
port of his bill to create a nonpartisan
tarifr commission. The proposed COM
mission would not be authorized to tx
duties or even to suggest rate, but
would merely collect and classify facts
ON which the next congress might act

One of these was what is known as

Of part of message through one me-
