w. M. Maxie and Family Great est Sufferers Mrs. Maxie
 Is Badly Bruised.
TWO HOUSES MOVED
Little Damage Reported From Ter ritory Beyond Mena Save De- struction of Timber Some
 Hail Damage.

The tornado that pass d to the west aud north of Mena Monday night completely demolished the two-room house, barn and out buildings occupied by W. M. Maxie and family of wife and three children. Mir. Maxie, who operates small dairy, was in the city at the time, but Mrs. Maxie and the children had a terrible experience when the house was completely demolished over their heads. Mrs. Maxie was badly bruised on both arms aud on one hip, but when the house was gone she found headboard of bed and with it sheltered herself and children from the hail that was falling about them. Of the children Ira. l3.yeaf-old boy, was aot hurt, but zodia, the 9-year- old girl, got hard knock on the head by a hail stone and one cheek was slightly cut. Kay mond, the 4-year-old boy, was not injured.
 Mrs. Maxie, who was in frail health. suffered terribly from the nervous strain.
 The family was taken to the home of Mrs. $. l.. Chote in Halls addition and a physician was sent for. She was still suf- fering today, but 1t is thought she soon will recover.
 In the house, aside from the furniture, were 126 gallons of fruit, gathered and pu, up by the family, largely for sale this win ter. Only few jars of this were unbroken.
 A fine new sewing machine was smashed badly, the stove was broken, and all sorts of house. hold goods and wearing apparel were carried away and scattered through the woods.
 There were four cows and calves in the stable, built of pine logs. None of the stock was hurt, but the stable was demol- ished. The cows belonged to Mrs. T. B. Lanford. Two wag- ons were near the house. These were scattered about in pieces. One wagon bed is said to have disappeared completely.
 The ruin at this home is com plete and the family is at present dependent upon the public for food, clothing and means with which to again get on its feet. U. l.. Horner and J. G. Adams have offered MT. Maxie the use of house.
 The property belongs to Miss Auna Clinton, stenographer at Fort Smith.
 The Wagner Place. The next house in line was the Wagner place. Here there were two buildings standing about eight feet apart, occupied by Mir. and Mrs. E. F. Stevens. The larger building had lean-to kitchen completely torn away and tbe house itself was pushed about eight feet, being jammed tightly az ainst the smaller, which was not disturbed. Practically every thing in the kitchen, including food, kitchen ware, disappeared. though little in main house was much injured. In the barn, which was demolished. were a COW and three horses. None was injured save the COW, which lost one horn.
 Mrs. Stevens and the children ran up the road as the storm ap- preached and escaped harm. Sev- eral family washes were at this place, but though one large bag of clothes was blown clear down into sthe valley, none was lost.

Nurses' Fees.

A good deal of discussion has been aroused on the subject of the large fees received by certain nurses in New York. AS a rule. patients are able to protect themselves from extortion by aid of natural and healthy competi- tion, and in England the custom of supplying nurses through cooperation tends to equalize the rate of payment The difference between fees in London and New York is partly one of organi- zation, the two or three guineas week received by the Englishwoman being pure profit, while the five guineas ot the American have to provide her with the expense of living out Even talk ing this into account, the amount which the New York patient often has to pay seems high, reaching occasion ally total of $35, or f7. a week.

Wonders of the Microscope.

The wonders revealed by the or dinary microscope are increased I hum dredfotd by recent invention. which enables the use of a high power lens as large as six inches in diameter. thus bringing the whole of objects. in stead of details only, under obselva- ton, says the Dundee Advertiser. By this means a common house fly is mag nified not in parts, but all at once. til it appears to be as large as an ostrich or a condor and, being inclosed in an open space, where it is kept directly within the field of the glass and yet has ample room, considering its size to move about and engage in its usual occupations, the opportunity for study ing it is immensely in advance Of any thing previously enjoyed by scientists Vast worlds of microscopic life hithpr- to only dreamed of are suddenly open to the gaze of mankind, and dscov. cries of immense value can doubtless be made.
