MANY LIVES LOST
AND MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS
DAMAGE DONE
By Destructive Storm That Swept
Through Northwestern Part Of
Wise County, Texas.

Dallas, Texas, March 24.-Twelve
known dead, property loss reaching
into the thousands of dollars and
possibly a score injured are the
| results Of tornado which swept
over the northwestern part Of Wise
county late last night. Several
small towns were visited by the storm
but none were entirely destroyed, al
though each suffered serious damage
The general course of the tornado
seems to have been from the west
to southwest. Starting at Grafton
in the northeastern part Of the coun-
ty it passed to the north of Decatur,
the county seat, and struck several
small settlements Of which st. Idell
is the centre. From here the tor
nado appears to have turned south
east, continuing its course without
doing further serious damage.
The greatest loss Of lite occurred
in the country. The destruction OF
one farm house alone caused the
death OF eight persons. This single
tragedy Of the storm occurred near
St. Idell The farm house Of Ira
Rice was crushed In by the furious
wind and the family of eight mem
bers pinned beneath the Wreckage.
The light in the house at the time
Of the disaster caused the ruins to
become tgnited and famed by the
strong wind the flames destroyed the
lives of the helpless victims.
The towns Of Sanger and Green
wood were hit and number of hous-
es were moved from their founda-
tions. The Good View school house
near Sanger was wrecked. In this
vicinity Ben Wilson and Glasgow
Clark, farmers, and two children Of
a negro tenant were killed. Mrs. C.
NJ. Bentley IS seriously hurt with a
broken leg and several negroes are
less seriously injured.
At Grafton every business house
save one was blown down. The
Methodist and Baptist churches were
completely wrecked.
Several residences and two chuIc.-
es were blown down at Brumlow.
This town is located near St. Idell, |
which appears to be the storm cen
tre.
Heavy sand storms occurred yes
terday at Dublin, Gainesville and |
other points in that vicinity. Fenc-
es, small buildings and wind mills
we're raised by the storm in the out
living districts.

Hundred and Second street, was shot
and killed by her father, Philip

MAD DOG BITES
WILL BE TREATED IN COLUMBIA
HEREAFTER.
4 Pasteur Institute to be Established
There for the Treatment Of Hy-
drophobia.

Columbia, March 24.-Columbia
Is to have free Pasteur treatment
for those suffering from rabies OF
threatened with an attack Of this
frtghtful disease. So with the ap.
| proach Of the good old summer tins
cease to worry about getting mad
dog bites. The free treatment is
not to be confined to patients Of this
State. 1t will be provided for by the
State board Of health at it's neetiEg g
here next month. The board is TO
equip laboratory, one OF the finest
in the country, not only for the free
treatment Of rabies, but it will also
be used to combat other infections
and contagious diseases.
This State, as is the case with
practically every other Southern
State. annually sends scores Of such
cases to Baltimore, Atlanta and other
points for treatment, and the ex-
pense is very heavy. The State
boards idea is not only to stop this
drain, but metbodically to combat
the spread of the disease 1t has
become a frequent occurrence for
some section Of the State to report
a regular epidemic OF rabies. Only
recently portion Of York county
reported such an epidemic.
n this connection the attention
Of member of the State board was
directed to the curious outcome of
recent local case, where practically
all the members Of a large family
we're bitten by a dog supposed to
be suffering from rabies. The head
Of the dog was sent on to Baltimore
and the head of the family went
there for Pasteur treatment. I'm
mediately the hospital reported that
analysis of the dogs head showed
a most virulent type Of rabies, and
the fanlily's head was put through
thorough scientific treatment and
after recovery his bill, amounting to
several hundred dollars was cheer
fully and GRATEFUL paid. Mean
time the other members Of the fam
lily. who took" home, "unscien-
tifc" treatment, were also miracu-
lousy saved from the disease.
"That is easily explained" said
the doctor, solennly declining to join
the smile that went around at the
expense of the profession. "The
general lay mind" he went on i'm
pressively, "has an altogether erro-
neors idea on the subject. AS mat
ter of fact not more than third
of people or animals bitten even at
points where the circulation is most
active, as in the face or on the hands.
ever contract the disease, and con-
traction of the disease where the
bite is through some portion Of the
clothing is much more rare, for the
reason that the saliva carrying tn:
disease germs does not get into the
blood. All of which accounts for
the marvellous cures effected by mad
stones and other unscientifc treat
ment.'

police burst in and took Kean to Jail.
Arraigned within a week, it took
the prosecution only two hours to
bring in all the testimony and argu-
ments they needed. Five minutes
later the jury had called him guilty
and judge had sentenced him to 20
years solitary confinement in the
penitentiary.
The nurse girl case in New
York in 1899 was tremendous seu-
sation. A nurse maid named Bella
Anderson had taken her charge, 1S-
months-old Marion Clarke. out for
trip through Central park. They
did not come back.
Instead a note was found pinned
on the doorstep the next morning.
IF you don't leave the money here,

Despite the threat, the parents
appealed to the police, who found the
baby alive and Growing a few days

only an accomplice, got four years,

The most famous black hand case
was that Of Tony Mannino, Of Brook

Tony's release. The parents refused
to appeal to the police, and would
never tell whether any Of the mon
ey was paid over OF not, but the
baby was restored.
The note demanding the money
was unusual. 1--WE are not crimi'
uals," it read. 1--WE are nice gentle

MONEY COMING
INSURANCE COMPANIES BRING
ING SURPLUS HERE.
A High Insurance Official Says the
Companies Will Invest Very Heav-
ily In South Carolina.

Columbia, March 24.-"Life in
surance companies of the North are
seeking desirable investments no
only in this State, but Throughout
the South, and there is no reason
to doubt investments of this kin6
will become more general and heavy
in the immediate future" said Mr.
Robert Lynn Cox, manager of the
association Of life insurance presi-
dents, which ex-President Grover
Cleveland presided over up to the
time of his death. Mr.. Cox was
here todtay in conference with in
surance Commissioner McMaster
with regard to the new laws passed
by the legislature affecting insur-
ance companies.
Truth isl continued Mr.. Cox,
the insurance companies want to
distribute their assets throughout
the country, and they are doing this
to a much greater extent than Is
generally understood. We want in
vestments of a desirable kind all ov-
er the country. One of our COM
panies, and not the largest one, has
investments now in every State in
the Union, where it is doing business,
and in addition in five States where
it IS not doing business.
"BE the public should under
stand that the insurance companies
have certain well defined limitations
in making investments, limitations
which are provided for in the bylaws
for the proper handling of trust
funds if they are not laid down in
the law of the State in which they
are chartered. Insurance compa-
MES can not invest trust funds in
business ventures or industrial en-
terprises. The money is to be had
on adequate security, but can not
be got without the security. Real
estate loans up to half the value
Of the property are desirable where
there are settled conditions, where
the value are not likely to depre-
ciate, in growing communities.
eyes, county and municipal bonds
are acceptable, where there is fair
rate of interest, for you know the
law requires the ms, nee compa-
MES to earn 2 cerCaln amount of
interest. But -hcre must be no
question about the validity of the
bonds. I don't know that I have
seen any case of State or county
or municipal bonds being repudi-
ated, but there has been some ex-
perience with school bonds which
have made the companies avoid these
sort of investments. Some school
districts have been very anxious to
get hold Of the money, but thought
nothing then of turning about and
repudiating the bonds which were
given as security"
Within the past few months much
insurance money has been placed
in Columbia and elsewhere through
out the State, at rates of interest
ranging from 5 1-2 to 7 per cent
Nearly 100000 was recently placed
on Main street property in Colum-
bia at 5 1-2 per cent However.
on account OF the companies declin-
ing loans for more than half the
value Of the property the new cheap
money is not doing the small holder
Of property much good, inasmuch as
the loans are for a term Of three
years, the fees for passing upon the
papers eating up the difference in
the interest.-Columbia Record.
