MANY KILLED
And Much Property Destroyed by
a Destructive Cyclone.
SWEEPS TEXAS TOWN

Two Known to Be Dead and Many
Fatalities Are Feared-Buildings
Flattened and Wire Lines Prostrat-
ed-Tornado Visits Mississippi Wip-
ing Out Three Towns, Destroying
Life and Property in Many Places.
Tyler, Texas, was swept by the
most disastrous tornado in it's history
before daylight Friday. Coming
from the southwest, the storm swept
over the main residence quarter Of
the city, leaving a trail of death and
devastation.
The known dead are C. A. Francis,
agent of the Dallas News, and his
wife and baby and negro, Nose
Lee,
Francis's body was found a hun
dred yards from his wrecked home.
The body of his child was found in
the street. Mrs. Francis was in the
wreckage Of the building.
Six seriously injured persons are
reported. They are Irwin Franklin
and his wife and four children. One
of the children may die. The Frank
lins were caught in the wreckage of
their home.
Wires are down in all directions
from Tyler, but reports from far
imers are that farm houses along the
lines were blown down. 1t is I'M
possible to ascertain the loss of life
in rural regions, but it is known the
tornado swept everything clean for
a distance of five miles.
Three miles from the town the
wind demolished the home of Irwin
Franklin, severely wounding Franklin
and his wife and four children. The
tornado tore a path through Tyler
100 feet wide. Buildings, telephone
and electric light poles were laid tiat
in the storms path, while great dam
age was done in other parts OF the
city.

FAKE WnlsKEY FIRMS
Whiskey Was Bought From Houses
That Never Has Existed.
Remarkable Testimony as to Dispen-
sary Creditors Brought Out at the
Hearing in Columbia On Thursday.

q ~~
Hearing in Columbia On Thursday.
1t having been established before
the dispensary commission that the
address given as headquarters of the
alleged liquor firm of Belair Distill-
ing Company is in fashionable res
idence of Baltimore, it was brought
out at the hearing Thursday that the
address given at the Washington
branch of the Belair concern was the
same address of Richard G. Co., 4SO
Pennsylvania avenue.
From letter heads Of both con-
Germs it was shown that }. S. Richard,
a member of the firm of Richard &
Co., was also president of the Belair
concern, and then it was shown that
Richard is brother-in-law of M.
M. Goodman, the agent of Ullman G.
Co., who is now under bond on
charges of conspiracy to defraud the
State.
The Belair Company, it appeared,
began to do business with the dis
pensary after 1905, when Ullman &
Co. were put on the blacklist by the
Hay committee. 1t was then stated
by Mr.. Fielder that Goodman had put
in bids for Ullman & Co., the Anchor
Distilling Company, Strauss C Co.,
Richard & Co., the Commonwealth
Distilling Company and the Belair
Distilling Company, all of which got
suciness from the dispensary, and all
of which according to Mr.. Fielder, be-
longed to the "Ullman family" :" 1t
was shown that Goodman in 1908
had put in bid as president Of the
Commonwealth Company, though in
his recent testimony he said he left
the Commonwealth Company before
that year. The old disDensary law
prohibited one concern putting in
more than one bid.
The commission passed judgment
finding that on account Of overcharg-
es the Belair concern was indebted to
the State in the. sum of S1O,492 to
which is to be applied the amount
of the claim, $6,SS6.41. But if the
Belair concern is fake concern
what is the judgment worth? To
show that it is fake concern, Eel
der said no record Of its charter
could be found in any State; there
was no response to notice sent by
registered mall, no one had appeared.
for the concern and the house could
not be found in Baltimore by COL
lection agency. During the investi-
CATION Mr.. Lyon suspected that the
Belair concern was protege OF
rlaischman & Co. He was on the
track, but did not get the game.
Evidence was also produced to
show that J. w. Kelly & Co., and
King G. Co., both Of Chattanooga,
was one and the same concern and
both had put in bids on Silver Spring
corn liquor at prices 20 per cent.
higher than Kelly G Co. had charg-
ed other customers outside the State.
The claim of King & Co. amounts to
$685..

WELL" but to say 1t is this belief which
cures the patient is to fall entirely tc
analyze the modus operandi of the heal
ing.
The healing remedy in Christian
Science is the realization of the divine
the mentality of the patient and de-
stroys his sense and fear of disease,
just as the light dispels the darkness.
Other Treatments Differ
Thus the foundation Of disease is de-
stroyed and the effects disappear from
the body. Other systems of giving q
mental treatment differ from Christian
Science in proportion sas they differ
from the method just described. A
Christian Scientist would not hope to
succeed in curing patient by the
mere belief that the patient will get
well, although he is aware that such
an encouraging belief is always help
full to a patient. The method which
we have described above Is not, as DIR.
Cabot affirms, latter Quimby."
Doubtless our critics surmise is due
to the fact that he has misunderstood
the teaching and practice of Christian
Science.
DIR. Quimby, according to many re-
liable witnesses, never recognized God
in his treatment of the sick. Mr.. John
Chapman, a well known and reliable
citizen of Bangor, Me-, who knew Mr..
Quimby intimately, said that he never
talked about God, he was not re-
ligious man in any sense. though a
good man morally and good citizen.
DR.. Cabot declares: ST believe that
good many warped minds. just as
certain type of crooked spine, may
be helped by sharp twist in the other
direction" This being true the doctor
would logically be obliged to admit
that the last twist must be in the right
direction, otherwise 1t would not be
corrective.

It is not likely that complaint will

men who, the police say, overpowered
Albert A. Agenbroad at his room at

Mrs. Cakes the matter has been amic-
ably settled and further hostilities
have been declared off. BY the terms
of the agreement, says Mrs. Cakes,
I-Agenbroad was given $3.50 of the money
taken and the remainder kept by her
to apply to the amount due her by the
attorney.

courage to take that money from him"
said Mrs. Cakes. ''Yol can see that

Those who apply to Christian Science
are as a rule those who have failed to

true that from a medical point of view

f1icted with organic troubles apply to
Christian Science.

through a period of twenty years, I

been called nervous disorders
Privileged to Explain
In conclusion our critic declares:

Christian Science cures are genuine

methods Of mental healing employed

Christian Scientists ability to diagnose
disease. I believe DR.. Cabot will con-
cede to him at least one privilege,
namely, the privilege of stating how
Christian Science heals, since the Chris
tian Scientist is at least supposed to be
informed on his own subject.
To acknowledge the Christian Scient-
lists qualification to define his own
theory and practice would be no less
consistent. 1t is evident that no one
knows quite so well how Christian
Science heals as the Christian Scientist,
through whose understanding the heal
ing is effected.
No doubt when, under Christian
Science treatment, patient begins to

FARLOW DEFENDS
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
MAKES VIGOROUS REPLY TO
MAGAZINE WRITER
REFuTEs ASSERTIONS CONCERN.
ING HEALING
Recognizes Phenomena Of Materla
Sense, and That Sickness, Sin and
Death Are as Real as other
Manifestations

Alfred Farlow has written a letter tt
the Boston Post in which he defends
Christian Science against an articis
printed in McClure's Magazine. Mr.
Farlow's letter follows:
In DIR. Richard @. Cabots dfsserta-
ton on Christian Science and its cures
which appeared in McClure's Magazine
and which was reviewed In your issue
of August 2, he declares: For II 1t Is
true, as stated on page 12O OF Science
and Health that health is not a con-
dition of matter but of mind, nor can
the material senses bear reliable test1-
mony on this subject of course the
material senses cannot be trusted when
they testify that cancer, consumption,
broken bones, or locomotor ataxia have
been cured by Christian Science"
In reply to this statement, we would
say that the evidence of the material
senses, in respect to disease, yields I'M
der Christian Science treatment to a
higher, better, more spiritual sense OF
being, consequently the patient does not
need to ask the material senses to tes-
tify to or confirm the fact of the heal
ing.
Further Christian Science plants it.
self unreservedly upon the Scriptural
teaching that all that God made twas
very good" and that there was nothing
made that He did not make It denies
the actually Of that which seems to
exist and yet is no part Of the divine
economy. Nevertheless, it recognizes
the phenomena of material sense and
that sin, sickness and death are quite
as real as any other material manifes-
tations.
Recognize Existence of Evils
Christian Scientists recognize that
these evils and discords exist in erring
mortal experience, the dream of mortal
life. and call them by the same names
that others use, and they recognize
that these evils must be grappled with
and overcome by Truth. Even a ghost
must be explained away. 1t cannot be
overcome by merely ignoring 1t, not
withstanding the fact that the properly
informed person knows that ghost Is
mere apparition, seeming, not a
reality, first, hast and all the time.
DR.. Cabot declares that he has
STUDIED one hundred cases of Chris
tian Science cures recorded in the re-
Journal and that putting together
this evidence and comparing it with"
his Gown experience regarding the ac-
curacy of his own patients statements

illusions are, first, that most Christian
Science cures ere probably genuine;
but, second, that they are not the cures
incidentally he declares functional
diseases are no more imaginary than
an ungovernable temper or a balky
horse Is imaginary. They are often the
source of acute and long continued
suffering; indeed, believe that there
is no class Of diseases that gives rise
to so much keen suffering" Thus the
doctor pays tribute to Christian Sci
ence by generously conceding that 1t

ADMITS BRUTAL
MURDER OF WIFE
ERNEST TERWiLGER INDANGER
OF LYNCHING IN OHIO.
WOMAN cHOKED TO DEATH
Husband Confesses Crime and Police
Reserves Guard Him From En-
ragged Citizens of Newark.

Newark, O., May 25.-Ernst Terwil-
ger, self-confessed wife murderer, is
lodged in the city prison and special
guard of police reserves is on duty to
prevent possible violence at the hands
of Infatuated citizens.
Terwilger was arrested Sunday
morning following the discovery of
the body of his wife, who had been
strangled to death in her room, and
in the afternoon he admitted the
crime. AS soon as the news of his
confession spread people began to con-
gregate about the city prison where he
was lodged and by night the crowd
became so large that the authorities
considered it best to take precautions
to insure the safety of the prisoner.
Wife Is Found Stranged.
Terwilger and his wife had rooms at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Nutter. Sunday morning one of the
members of the family went to the
room to call the couple for breakfast.
Getting no response the door was
forced and Mrs. Terwilger was found
lying upon the bed, dead. Her tongue
protruded from her mouth and there
were finger marks on her throat in
eating clearly that she had been
choked to death.
Suspicion at once pointed to the
husband He had been heard to leave
the room shortly after midnight, but no
unusual noises had been heard. Later
he was arrested.
Husband Admits the Crime.
1t was learned that Terwilger had
been drinking Saturday and that he
went home in the evening under the
influence of intoxicants. His wife
asked him for money and he declared
that he did not have any to give her,
whereupon she is said to have twitted
him for his inability to provide for her.
Terwilger had been out of work.
A quarrel ensued and Terwilger, ac-
cording to his admissions, grabbed
her by the throat as she lay on the
bed and in a moment of fury strangled
her to death.
Mrs. Terwilger was IS years Of
age, attractive and popular. The
couple had been married a year, but
he was insanely jealous and they
separated as a result of domestic dis
cord, but had recently become recon
ciled. She was about to become a
mother.

points of difference in connection with
some of them, and especial effort will
be made to compromise them. AS

will come to an end.
The general deficiency bill will be

VII. and other members of the British
royal family have paid to the head of
the French republic in Paris The
honors to be paid the president can
not equal those bestowed upon the
German emperor during his visit last
year, as the presidents stay will be
but short one, but what is lacking in
great entertainments is made up for
in the enthusiasm of the public well
come.
M. Fallieres crossed the channel in
the French cruiser Leon Gambetta,
accompanied by a fleet of destroyers,
and landed at Dover. There was a
great naval display in his honor, a
fleet of So warships, under the com
mand of Lord Charles Beresford, hav-
ing been ordered to the channel port
for the occasion.
The trip to London was made in a
royal car. At Victoria station King
Edward, the prince of Wales and rep
resentatives of the government were
on hand to greet M. Fallieres and
from that moment four days round
of entertainment commenced. A state
banquet at Buckingham palace will
bring together the public men of Eng
land and the members of the diplo-
matte corps; Tuesday the president
and king will visit the Franco-British
exhibition; Wednesday, the busiest
day of the visit, will commence with a
reception to the diplomatic corps at

to the city and luncheon at the Guild
Hall. In the evening "by command of
his majesty, the king gala perform
ance will be given at Covent garden
at which the king and queen, Presi-
dent Fallieres and large number of

Villages Which Are OF Interest Here. Y
DIVORCE FOR KENosHA PAIR.
Sensational Charges by Both Sides
Result in Decree for Wilson's.

Kenosha.-In the circuit court here
Mrs. Mary A. Wilson was granted a
divorce from her husband, Alexander
Wilson. Both husband and wife are
well known in Kanosha. Mrs. Wilson
also secured the custody of the chill
dren, and it was announced that the
property had been divided by stipula-
ton. Both Wilson and his wife asked
for the divorce, and the evidence was
sensational. Mrs. Wilson charged her
husband with extreme cruelty, drunk
enness and failure to provide, and in a
cross-bill the husband charged indis-
cretions. The husband withdrew the
cross-bill, but the evidence brought
out all the accusations he had made
against her, and she declared all false.
The couple were married in 1895. Will
son is a member of one of the best
known pioneer families of Kenosha.
