Cleveland. Apr. 23.--Three persons were killed, six fatally hurt, at leasl 50 sustained injuries and property var ued at more than Sl,00O,000 was de stroyed in a tornado which swept through Cleveland and North Ohio yes terday
 The storm arose suddenly and last ed but five minutes. At 12:3o the SUI was shining brightly. At l2:SS the city was surrounded in darkness. From the northeast of the lake came a gale blowing at the rate of 66 miles an hour. In its wake followed a shee. of rain and hail which fell with ter rife force.
 In the blinding rain pedestrians were blown off their feet and hurled against buildings, in many cases to pc struck down by flying bricks and tim bers which filled the air.
 Roofs were lifted off houses, walls hurled down, strongly braced smoke stacks picked up and chimneys de- molished. In some instances TOOLS were carried for a distance of 300 feet and then set down. The loss was especially great to school property. Twelve school buildings were dam aged. Many pupils had remarkable escapes but none were seriously hurt. The roof was lifted from the main building of the Case school of applied science.
 Firemen and policemen from all of the stations fn the city turned out to assist the people whose homes had been wrecked and who were injured in the storm. So seriously was the tele- phone service crippled that 1t was i'm possible to get connections with either the police or fire headquarters.
 No damage was done to boats on the lake. But few fishing tugs were out and all were near shore.
 St. Stanislaus church was demolish- ed. The loss Is estimated at $125.000.
 The Wellman-Seaver-Mor Engi- neering plant and the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad were badly dam aged when the roof of the Standard Tool company factory was blown over on it.
 The roof of the city tuberculosis sanitarium and the frame work of the new exposition building were carried away.

FOR AN INCOME TAX
SENATOR cuMMlNs INTRODUCES HIS AMENDMENT TO THE
 TARIFF BILL.
ASSESSMENTS BEGIN AT slo,000 MARK
From That Figure For Which the Rate Is Two Per Cent, the Assessment Rises Gradually Until It Reaches Six Per Cent On Incomes Exceed ing $100,0Cc.

Washington, Apr. 22.-Senator Cum nins introduced to-day bis amendment o the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill provid- lng for graduated income tax, which ne believes would produce s4O,OO0,00U revenue.
 Mir. Cummins pointed out that 1t dif- ters in some important particulars from either the law of 1894 or the amendment offered by Senator Bailey !. exempts incomes below S5,000 and authorizes the deduction of thai amount from every dutiable income The rate provided for is as follows:
 Upon incomes not exceeding Sl0,00U , per cent; not exceeding $20000, 2h per cent; not exceeding s40,00O, 3 pe' cent; not exceeding s60000, 513 pei cent; not exceeding $SO,000, pel cent; not exceeding slO0,000, , pc. cent; upon all incomes exceeding S1O0,000 6 Esr cent.
 MT Cummins believes that the grad Hated tax so provided for will produce a somewhat less revenue than a fla sax of per cent.
 The duty Is to be levied only upol individual incomes He treats corpor ations as mere instrumentalities fol individual profit and the chief reasoI for not including corporations Is tha to put tax upon the incomes of cor porations is that it would tax thos' who are stockholders of the corpora tions, but whose total incomes woul' not reach 5000, precisely as thougl they had dutiable incomes.
 This would be the result with fla rate, but he points out that when tn graduated tax is employed 1t is obvi ous that the individual income cal alone be considered
 otherwise" he says, "the man witt the least dutiable income would, in solar as it is derived from a corpora ton, oftentimes bear the maximum rate levied upon the highest increase
 The chief object of graduated in come tax law is to put the burden o government upon those who are bes able to bear 1t, and to do so 1t Is neces sary to put higher rate upon thu large incomes than upon small ones There IS no advantage in putting il corporate incomes, because under tn, law of 1894, as well as the Baile. amendment, the individual has thu right to deduct from his general in come amounts received as dividend from corporation if the corporation pays an income tax"
 The amendment proposed by MT Cummins further provides that all COT porations shall make annual reports showing gross and net earnings an' the amounts paid as interest and diyl dends, and the persons to whom pay ments are made and also the name of all officers or employees receivinl S5,O00 year or more. In this wa. the undivided profits of corporation are ascertained and the distributes share of each stockholder charged a 8 part of his income.

long over the price. A hundred and
fifty dollars may look like big price
to pay for bull, but an increase of 50
head in the value Of the calf crop
will pay for him in two or three years.
In many cases you may be able to
join with two or three Of your near
est neighbors in the purchase Of
bull, thus not only saving money, but
also obtaining a better animal than
you would be able to secure otherwise.
This applies with still more force to
the purchase of a stallion. In many
communities it is impossible to secure
the services of a first class horse of
any breed. In such a case if fifteen
or twenty farmers will agree upon a
breed and subscribe 500 each horse
can be procured that will almost pay
for himself in the increased value of
his first crop of colts.

I" HE science of breeding is very
complicated. but there are
some points that should be un-
derstOod and followed by ev-
cry farmer. No matter how well stock
may be fed and cared for, if they do
not have the inherited capacity to
transform their feed economically into
milk or beef or power they will al
ways be scrubs" On the other hand,
poor feeding and care may make a
scrub out of an animal which has the
inherited ability to develop into some
thing much better TO attain the best
results breeding, feeding and intelli-
gent care must go hand in hand.
Pure bred stock not only have the
ability to make much more profitable
use of the food given them, but they
also add greatly to the appearance Of
the place. A pasture dotted with we'll
bred, uniform calves, colts or sheep
marks the owner as progressive
farmer. There is great deal more
pleasure, too, in caring for good stock
than there Is In vainly trying to get
Improbable animals into market con-
dition.
The first thing to consider In start

Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
It Is weak. .-.
You must eat in order to live and

You must not diet, because tho
body requires that you eat q suf1c-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
9ost the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak 1t needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest
and Kodol will do that.
