FOUR DEAD IN TEXAS CITY.
Tornado in South Claims Many Lives
and Wrecks Towns.

Tyler, Texas. was swept by the most
disastrous tornado in its history about t
O'Clock Friday morning. Coming up from
the southwest the storm swept over the
main residence section of the city, leav-
ing a trail of death and devastation. The
dead are: c.. y. Francis, Mrs. Willie
Francis, his wife; Francis. infant Nose
Lee. an aged negro. Irwin Franklin, Mrs.
Franklin and their four children were
seriously injured. One of the children is
expected to die. They were caught in the
wreckage of their home. Wires are dow
in all directions from Tyler, and while
reports from farmers who are fastening
in TO ascertain the extent of the damage
are to the effect that farm houses all
around Tyler were blown down, it is i'm
possible to ascertain the loss of life or to
approximate the extent of the disaster. 1t
is known, however, that the tornado
swept everything clean for a distance of
five miles. AT least three towns in Mis-
sissippi have been destroyed. Only one
building is standing in the town of Moss
vile. Miss, and that is the depot of the
Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail-
road. The town had a population of 800,
many of whom, it is feared. are dead or
injured.

A MODERN UTOPIA.
Millionaire's Plan for a Model
Village in Ohio.

James w. Ellsworth, a coal operator
whose home is in New York, has taken
under his protection the village of
Hudson, in northern Ohio. which was
for more than half a century the seat
of Western Reserve University, and
intends to make it the most beautiful
spot in Ohio, as we'll as a seat of
learning. He has already made one
gift of 100000 to the village, and
within the next few months he will
spend many additional thousands in
identifying the little town and carry
ing out his plan of making it IN edu-
~cational center.
Perhaps the most novel part of the
program in identifying the village is
the destruction of unsightly buildings
and everything in fact that does moi
suit his taste. His agents have been
busy buying up property all over the
village on which are located buildings
which he thinks are a detriment to his
plans. These structures will be torn
down and fine new buildings erected in
their place.
Ellsworth is over 60 years of age
and was born on a small farm near a
splendid estate he owns n far from
Hudson. His father conducted a gen.
eral store in h village. As a young
man the son moved to Chicago. He
obtained employment there in the Office
of a big coal firm. After several years
hard work he started i'm the coal bust
ness for himself. In a few years he
became N of the largest independent
coal operators in the country.

VICTIMS OF
Doukhobors of Canada Preparing
for Another Outburst.

Reports received at Ottawa, Ont. in
dictate that the coming spring will see
the 1900 Doukhobors leave their North
west communities and go on another
wild pilgrimage. All accounts agree
that the fanaticism of the sect has no
parallel in modern times.
Doukhobor leaders have been partic-
ularly busy issuing DEGREES since the be-
ginning of winter, and each new pro-
mitigation seems to have been drafted
with a desire to Guido the preceding
ones in inficting hardship and suffer
ing on 1.-The faithful" Children are
said to be dying for want of proper
food. The people are paupers. They
have obeyed al order TO sell all their
cattle and sheep.
All products of the land go to the
sect leaders. All chickens have been
sold in obedience to a decree. Tea,
coffee, sugar and pancakes have been
tabOoed and the general diet has been
narrowed to raw potatoes onions, car
rots, turnips and a few other vege-
tables. Among the latest DEGREES have
beer those a%bolishing timepieces and
looking glasses. Agents of the leaders
have taken away from the people about
$1,000 worth of clocks and watches.
The women, who are noted for their
dizziness with their needles. have been
forbidden to make any more embroid-
cry.
The Doukhobor wheat is handled by
n committee. which does what it
pleases with it. This committee con-
trolls pretty nearly everything in the
way of labor. The gangs which work
TN the railway and in the community
brickyard pay over their wages to the
committee without receipt. But when
it TO be labOrers getting their
meager food allowances from the COM
mittee they are compelled TO give a
receipt for every ounce.
In one district 800 persons are living
i'm two houses. Each adult is allowed
n sleeping space of four feet wide. All
have to climb into their beds over the
footboards. The younger men are
slowed away in the garrets of the
houses after the fashion of canned sar-
dimes.
