Editor The Manning Times:
The storm of last week did quite a
lot OF damage in this section
Some dwelling houses were compile
tely destroyed.
The PaXville graded school building
was unrooted by the storm.
Mr.. Cutters dwelling was demolish-
ed. Two OF his children were in the
house, but escaped unhurt. The cook
ing room was turned upside down and
the other part of the house greatly
damaged.
On the East side of the town the
large hall owned by the colored peo.
pie was completely demolished, and
just beyond this hall the house of some
colored people was blown to atoms. The
colored people were in the house and
their escape unnurt seems almost a
miracle.
Several other buildings were either
completely demolished or destroyed

Senator Tillman when asked
with regard to the conduct of the
Democratic Congressman, who
refused to follow the leadership
of Chamr Clark in the fight
against Speaker Cannon, said.
"they should be read out Of the
party" This would be a very
drastic procedure which might
result in more harm than good,
but nevertheless no party organ
ization can be maintained, unless
the membership agrees to submit
to the will Of the majority. 1t is
our opinion, the Democratic par
ty in the lower House is incom,
petently led. No such revolt
could have occurred under the
leadership Of Williams, because
he would have known before hand
what could have been depended
upon.
The conditions in the party
ranks are such that the Demo
Gratis cannot get together, and so
far as their usefulness is concern
ed, they may as well be at home.
The division has resulted in a
hopeless disorganization, and if
the party riot act was to be read.
the question has resolved itself
down to tind out who should be
read out of the party. The whole
Democratic force seems to be at
war. and from the floor leader
down, there seems to be a gener-
al lack of tact and discipline.

AN UNFAIR CRITICISM.

AN UNFAIR CRITICISM.
We do no. often take notice in these

! Supreme Court. II IS not our purpose
now TO do that, but the newspapers re-
port OF Il recent decision seems TO call
( for some remarks. inaSmuch as some Of
the statement reflect on the ministerial
standing of one of our pastors, Rev. r.
a. Sublett, who was . party TO the suit
and who was OF the losing il the case.
It IS not necessary here TO 60 into the
merits OF the case. ror is it our purpose
TO pass 90 the decision Of the Supreme
Court, or the verdict rendered IN the
Circuit Court.
Ia giving the decision OF the court
the reporters stated that Rev. +. y.
Sublett had "failed in his profession"
as d minister or pastor. Just what that
has to do with the case in hand we fail
to understand, even If his failure could
be established. The court was not pass

been contested, aud in which the owner

The annual reception of the Phren-
okosmian society, the last of the sea-
son, was held last night in the GYM
nasium of Augustana college, The
reception was attended by a large
number of students who listened at
tentively to the address by Professor
l. NJ Anderson, the speaker of the
evening. Professor Anderson had
chosen the "Phrenokosmian Society
as the subject CT his talk and develop
ed it in very interesting manner.
The society was founded in 1860, the
same year that the college was found
ed, and for this reason the speaker
suggested that the society celebrate
its jubilee year next year in connec-
ton with the college celebration.
In addition to Professor Anderson's
address, the program consisted of an
address of welcome by NJ. A. Gustaf-
son, president of the society; a nj
ano duet by the Misses Edith Thuin
and Ellen Freeman; vocal solo by
Miss Lille Cervin with violin accom-
paniment by Miss Ethel Wade and
Miss Elsie Beckmann at the piano
and two songs by Phrenokosmian
members of the Wennerberg chorus.
At the close of the program re-
freshments were served and the re-
mainder of the evening spent in play
ing games and other social amuse-
ments. The grand march closed the
reception and was led by Mr.. Otto
Bostrom and Miss Anna Lindquist.

milan Reception.

The first actual hostilities between
the freshmen and sophomores of
Augustana college broke out last
night while the annual reception of
the Phrenokosmian society was in
progress. The freshmen, who have
been waiting ever since the opening
of school for their rivals to start
something, decided to take matters
into their own hands and assume the
aggressive. The result of their ac-
lion has strained diplomatic rela-
tionS between the two classes and
further developments are momentar-
ily expected.
rumor last night had it that the
sophs were to have their annual ban
quet The freshieS, accordingly,
were assembled en- masse to be pre-
pared to thwart the plans of the up
per classmen. The rumor proved to
be without foundation and the fresh
men were disappointed in the antici-
patton of an encounter with their ri
walls. To give vent to their class spir-
it. however, they assembled outside
of the gymnasium at the close of the
reception program and let loose some
lusty class yefls.
IDch is Issued.
Some imperious sophs stuck their
heads out of the gymnasium windows
and. insolently commanded the fresh
les to cease their noise. whereupCn
the latter assumed a belligerent atti-
tude and issued def to the sophs to
come out. Some of'the more Courag-
eous scphs accepted the invitation
and clash at once ensued. After
some desultory skirmishing, other
students interfered and stopped the
fighting.
The freshies remained outside the
gym" however, and when w. y.
Swenson, a soph, made his appear
ance. they corralled him and started
to carry him away. SwensOn's yell
for assistance brought Edwin Olson,
/; husky cornhusker from Nebraska,
to his assistance. The latter was Ov-
empowered, however, and suffered the
same fate. o. r. KaristrOm next
came to the rescue, and he, too, was
taken captive. The three victims
were carried down to the science hall

their classmates followed to attempt

After the freshies had satisfied
their pugnacious inclinatiOns by sit
ting on the sophs and performing
ether stunts with their victims, they
permitted them to depart in peace.
The two classes then returned to the
gym the sophs claiming that they
had rescued their classmates from
out of the hands of their enemies, |
while the freshies declared they had
magnanimously liberated their pris-
oners out of consideration for their |
best" clothes.
To show that no personal feeling |
existed between the members of the |
two classes, about a half a dozen |
sophs entered the grand march at |
( the close of the reception with fresh
men boys on their arms as girl" |
partners. The freshies declared to- |
day that they just had to start some |
