Billiards After Gales.

Chicago, May 1.-While the process
sion of tornadoes that swept from the
Great Lakes down the Mississippi val
ley to the Gulf of Mexico spread untold
ruin in its path, on the edges of the
meteorological disturbance there was
experienced different kind of disaster.
Heavy SHOWS and billiards are report
ed from both the east and west borders
of the disturbed area, and winter con-
ditions prevail in Pennsylvania, the
Northern lake states and the more
Westerly states of Wyoming, Montana,
Colorado and Northern Texas.
Anywhere up to foot of snow has
been reported from these states, with
blizzards of the widest winter kind
raging in the North and West. Ire
meIdous damage has been done to early
small fruit crops, and the apple crop is
also reported seriously injured. Aside
from this, great suffering has been ex-
perienced on the sheep and cattle rang
es, and many animals have already sue,
cumbed to the violence of the weather.
Freezing and zero weather is report.
ed at many points, and the Sc.
verest of conditions prevail. On the
lakes great suffering has resulted
though the high winds that preceded
the colder weather have apparently
broken up the ice and liberated many
blockaded vessels, thus alleviating to 1
certain degree the haidships of the lak'

Bandits Loot Mail Car on Northern
Pacific Railroad.

Spokane, WASH, April 3O.-Two
men held up Northern Pacific train No.
3 last night at 1925 o'clock, three
miles east of Houser Junction, and 25
miles east of Spokane.
Conductor A. F. Miley states that
the robbers cut the engine and one
mail car from the train, took two shots
at the fireman, missing him by very
narrow margin, ordered him off the en-
CINE and put gun to Engineer Whit
tlesey's head, commanding him to go
ahead until they told him to stop. The
other robber took the place of the fire.

10 80 he was throwing coal into the
firebox in an inexperienced manner.
This, together with the fact that
there were no markers on the rear OF
the train, and as the engine crew dis
regarded signals, it was at once sur
missed by the operator here that it was
holdup, and he at once notified the
dispatcher in Spokane to that effect.
Officials in Spokane as well as Rath'
drum were at once notified, and while
the mail car was being robbed between
Trent and Yardley, posses were form
ing at either side of the robbers.

Constantinople, April 3O.-The Con-
have lost no time in
bringing the conspirators in the recent
rising to trial. The military court,
sitting in the war Office today con-
demned about $50 prisoners to death,
and they were executed.
Nadir Pasha, the second eunuch OF
the palace. whose sentence was pro-
nounced Wednesday, was hanged at
dawn on the Galata bridge and his
body was viewed by thousands. The
national assembly, which met under
the presidency of Said Pasha, decided
that the sultan should take the oath OF
the constitution within week. The
assembly also ratified the removal OF
Abdul Hamid to Salonica.
The government has decided to send
commission to Adana to try by court

to act with the utmost severity.
1t is alleged that the chief authors
of the recent mutiny were Abdu

Winnipeg, Man., May 1.-The coal
strike situation in Western Canada is
growing serious.
Fernie and Michel, controlled by the
Great Northern interests, are the only
districts where coal is being mined
and the statement is made that all coal
mined there is being sent into the

centers in Western Canada are making
loud complaint at this, and move

government to intervene and end the
strike or stop the export of coal.
President Lewis, of the lnterna-

the local head of the Miners union,
are adjusting their differences and
signs of settlement are in sight.
Lethbridge is in want of coal. The

DEATH AND RUIN.
Wind and Snow Storm Leave Trail OF
Havoc in Middle West.


Chicago, April 3O.-Two terrific
storms, sweeping over Middle West
states within IL hours of each other
yesterday paralyzed the region from
Chicago to the Gulf as seldom before.
Both storms were accompanied by
thunder and lightning and deluging
torrents of rain, and both caused loss
of life, not only in this city, but in re-
gions to the south.
Two towns, Harrolton, Ark, and
Hornlake, Miss, are reported as COM
pletely demolished by tornado-like
winds that swept over the prairies dur
ing the day; and reports of death and
destruction in lesser degree are COM
ing in over the crippled wires from
every point with which communication
can be opened.
Coincident with the violent gale re"
ported in the Middle states, unseason-
able falls of snow are reported to both
the east and west of the stricken area.
In New York several inches of snow is
reported from the rural districts, while
the big metropolis itself had violent
snow squall early in the day. From
Wyoming comes the report of suffering
on the sheep ranges caused by five
inch fall of snow.
Snow is also reported from Pitts
burg, Milwaukee and Montana points
A squall, with wind blowing At

rents, struck Chicago at 6:15 O'Clock

A Reason for Helping.

The poor help the poor more than
the rich help them. An official of the
Department of Charities in New York
recently remarked this trait.
Everything has its cause, its simple
and striking cause, if we can but find
It," he said. "Once, in a miserable
slum, 1 heard two little girls talking
about this matter of poverty and
wealth and helpfulness.
"'Why is it, said the first, that the
poor allus is more willin' to help us
than the richT
"The second child replied promptly
and not without some bitterness, Them
wot don't mind givin' is the ones wot
stays poor"

Cotton Men See jap Peril.

Boston, May 1.-Governor Z. S.
Draper, in a speech at the Seth annual
meeting of the National Association OF
Cotton Manufacturers, sounded note
of warning against the rivalry of Japan
yesterday. He said that japan is now
the great competitor of America in
cotton manufactures, and that the rap
idly decreasing exports of cotton goods
to China indicated very grave propo-
sition for the American manufacturers
to face.

growth begin to appear; or when the
plants show one-tenth in bloom. The
cutter bar should be set about inches
above the ground the first year, and
the first cuttings, if light, be left upon
the ground. 1t is imperative that the
crop should not be pastured the first
two years.
Every year about April first dress
ing of 100 pounds of land plaster
should be applied, and while the
ground is still soft, thorough cultiva-
tion should be given, with the disc
harrow set straight and weighted and
run crosswise, followed by the common
harrow. This cultivation keeps out
grass and weeds, splits the alfalfa
crowns and thickens the stand; keeps
the surface soil mellow and helps con-
serve the moisture to carry the crop
through the dry months. If the soil is
poor top dressing of well rotted ma
nure applied in the fall will prove ben
eficial. 1t is we'll to let the alfalfa go
into the winter with six or eight-inch
growth.
In Western Oregon the common va
riety of alfalfa should be used, prefer
ably Montana grown.
In pasturing alfalfa, to avoid bloat-
ing, cattle and sheep should not be al
lowed to go on the field with an empty
stomach or when the plant is wet, and
to prevent roofing, hogs should be
ringed. Where cut and fed green tc
cows, there is no danger of bloating.
An acre of alfalfa will furnish pas
ture for about ten good sized hogs, ol
summer green feed for ten cows.

Erench Jackies Kick on Fare.

Paris, May 1.-The third mutiny
within two weeks on vessel of the
French navy has stirred government
circles and it is probable that the lat
est outbreak, that of sailors aboard the
brattleship St. Louis, at Toulon, will
be rigidly investigated. The sailors
of the st. Louis refused to eat the
meat provided by the mess officers and
their protests were SO subversive of
discipline that three of tie crew were
placed in irons. The remainder of the
enlisted personnel then openly revolted,
declaring that all should be punished.

storm was the most severe at Douglas.
There Lewis Ayers, 70 years old, was
