Owen, secretary of the Board of
Trade and Prof. L. c. Perry of the

certainty.
The program which the promo
ters are arranging for will consist
of ten numbers, variety Of lee
lures, humorous and musical ell
tertainers. Senator Bob Taylor is
to be one of the lecturers and the

HOHENSCHUTz DIES
Well Known German SuccumbS
to Old Age.
way, Owning Present Site of
State Normal.

From the Little Rock Gazette of
Sunday we take the following ac-
count of the death of Frederick
Hohenschutz, former prominent
citizen of Conway:
Frederick Hohenschutz died at
10 o'clock yesterday morning at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. T.
J. Jansen, 1900 Barber avenue.
He had been Ill only about week.
Death resulted from the infrmities
of old age.
Mr.. Hohenschutz was born in
Germany 78 years ago. He was
married in 1859 to Countess Jean
cite de St. Rayney, the daughter
of German baron. They moved
to this country in 1880, coming
direct to Conway, where they set
tied. At that time Mr.. Hohen-
schultz owned the property ON
which the new State Normal Col
lege is now being erected. Mr..
Hohenschutz and family moved to
Little Rock in 1890. He was one
of the originators of the Arkansas
Echo Publishing Company and
was editor of the Arkansas Echo
the first year that paper was pub
lished. He was still interested in
the publishing company at the
time of his death.
He later tried farming and pur-
chased the Bruchman place, east OF
the city, and 10 acres adjoining.
He farmed several years with sue
cess. His health began to fail,
however, and his physicians ad-
vised a change of climate. With
his wife and one daughter he re-
turned to Germany, where they re-
mained until last summer, when
they returned to Little Rock. Of
late years Mr.. Hohenschutz had
not actively engaged in any busi-
ness.
He leaves his wife, three sons,
Charles, Ray and Frederick, all of
Little Rock, and three daughters
Mrs. T. Jansen, Mrs. G. Meurer,
1900 McGowan-and one daugh-
ter, who lives in Germany.
The funeral will be held at 9
O'Clock tomorrow morning from st.
Edwards German Catholic church,
of which Mr.. Hohenschutz was a
member, in charge of Rev. Father
Maurus. The body will be buried
in Calvary cemetery.

ANOTHER STORM At MARCHE

Marche, May 5.-A tornado,
which struck earth near here about
7 o'clock last night, resulted in the
death of two people, the injuring
of two more and great loss of
property. The path left by the
tornado is about a mile wide and
five or six miles long. Nothing
but ruins remain in that path.
The most serious damage was
done at the home of John Lukas-
zewicz, two and one-half miles
east of Marche. The home was
entirely destroyed by the tornado,
and John Lukaszewicz and Mrs.
Mary Szczepaniak were killed and
Mrs. John Lukaszewicz and Ven
ceslaus Szczepaniak were seriously
and possibly fatally injured. All
four of the people were in the
house at the time the tornado
struck it. The woman was killed
instantly by falling tree, while
the man lived for about an hour.
Szczepaniak, who was i'll, had
both legs broken just below the
knee, and was injured about the
head, but he managed to crawl
out of the debris of the ruined
house, and crawled on hands and
knees for three quarters of a mile
to the nearest neighbor to tell them
of the disaster at the Lukaszcwich
home and summon aid. AS he
finished his story he tainted away,
and was unconscious for some time.
The message had been carried
however, and the neighbors rushed
to the rescue. They carried the
three bodies out of the mass of
ruins to a nearby house, where
Mrs. Szczepaniak died shortly at
terward, and where the two injured
people are now being cared for.

Democrats correspondent at Cen
terville, in Matthews township, as
published below:
Centerville, May 4, IeOS.-About
half past five this afternoon a cy-
clone struck this neighborhood,
laying waste to everything in its
path. The telephone wires are all
down, cutting off communication
from one settlement to another, and
it is feared that north of here ser
ious damage has been done. Ow-
ing to the downpour of rain our
people have been unable to get be-
yond this vicinity, as there is a
strip of country for about two miles
on the north that is not settled up,
thus dividing the two neigh
borhoods.
S. J. Hankins and family were
at c. Woolley's visiting, and were
all in the east room watching the
approaching storm from the north
door, and saw it coming about a
quarter of mile away. They des-
cribe it as being of whirling and
rolling motion, looking something
like large house in size with a
kind of tail or funnel shape to it,
striking the ground. Upon rising
it went in a northeastern direction.
Mr.. Woolley's damage consisted of
outbuildings, fences and trees being
blown down. S. J. Hankins was
next, with about the same loss.
Christopher Blythe had his house
chimney damaged. G. w. Blythe
had his fence all torn down. M.
T. Blythe, who was living in
double box house, had one room
lifted off the pillars and the other
room was total wreck. His barn
was also blown down and one of
his mules badly crippled. G. w.
Blythe, who lives about midway
between where the cyclone was
first seen and his sons, escaped
with small damage, owing to the
fact that he lived in kind of a
hollow. All are anxious to hear
later reports, as it is expected con-
sidrrable damage was done in the
settlement north of us.
Later Reports.
This morning reveals the fact
that E. L. McNew's house was
literally torn to pieces, also his
barn and contents. One room of
w. H. McNew's house was demol-
ished. Andy Jolly's barn was
blown down. Joseph Atkinson's
barn was in the path of the storm
and received its share of damage.
In the McNew graveyard some tall
timber was blown down. The
church house is sight and it will
take some time to clean it up.
Some of the renters will have to
have help as they are in bad cir
cumstances. Wild report are plen-
tiful, but correct news is hard to
get. We are all anxiously await
ing the Log Cabin Democrats COM
ing, for with it will come full

w
badly damaged.
Passing to the adjoining place Of
A. K. Pearson, the storm wrecked
his house and blew away FIVE out
buildings, completely destroying
his crop, but injuring no ore.
The tornado next struck the
negro settlement known as Salem.
Here Sam Austin's store, stock OF
goods and outbuildings were COM
pletely demolished, the Knights OF
Tabor hall was destroyed and Hall
church blown from its foundations.
Three residences in this settlement,
occupied by Georgia Cunningham,
Dock Smith and a negro named
Chandler, were torn to pieces, but
all the occupants escaped practl-
cally unhurt.
The next in the path of the storm
was a residence on the Critic Turner
place, occupied by Robert Shelton
and his sister, Mrs. Higgs. This
family saw the tornado approaching
and left their home, just in the
nick of time, as it was completely
destroyed. Another house on this
place was blown away.
Further Course of Storm.
The course of the wind was then
through the timber, which was cut
down as if by a gigantic moving
machine. Coming across the ridge
about five miles west of Conway,
it struck the homes of Green Evans,
J. A. Crye and David fitzpatrick.
Here its destruction was complete.
The residence of Mr.. Evans,
strong double log house which had
probably been standing for over
fifty years, was razed to the ground.
In the house were Mr.. Evans, wife
and daughter and two strangers
who had stopped there for refuge.
Their escape from death is most
remarkable. The heavy logs were
hurled over their heads, a large
stone chimney was toppled over
them, but no one was killed. The
work of the tornado was instantan-
eous, and as it passed, the occu-
pants found themselves crouched
upon the floor with every vestige
of roof and walls blown from
around them. An iron bedstead
was twisted around Mr.. Green's
body and he had difficulty in ex-
Treating himself. Their Injuries,
however, are not of an alarming
nature.
Almost the same condition exist
ed at the home of J. A. Crye near
by, the house being utterly des-
troyed.
A tenant house on Mr.. Evans
place, occupied by David Kilpat-
rick, was also wrecked, but not
blown entirely away.
A negro church and schoolhouse
at Friendship, near Gleason, was
blown away.
Eighteen telephone poles and
large number of telegraph poles
were blown down here, and many
of them could not be found.
Continuing its northeasternly
course, the storm is reported to
have blown away three houses on
DR.. E. o. Brannon's place on the
Cadron, but particulars of the
damage has not been learned.
The residence of r. w. Hall on
the Cadron was razed, but no one
was injured. The outbuildings of
Will Robinson at old Linder was
destroyed and his residence dam
aged.
From this point the only definite
information as to the course of the
storm comes from the Log Cabin
