TWAS REGULAR
 "TWISTER." :" SPRINGDALE VISITED BY IN CIPIENT TORNADO. DAMAGE VAS NOT HEAVY. Numerous Storms Reported In Different Sections of the
 Country.
DAMAGE VAS NOT HEAVY.

opringdale people had a small taste of a real tornado Thursday afternoon, aid while the damage Was not great. Il is safe to say that no one cares to have tie ex- perlenee repeated.
 There was strong wind all day long, and Ill the afternoon tile clouds formed in the south west having the appearance of a storm, but they passed around to the northwest, this vicinity being visited by en1y a light rain.
 People who had been observing the clouds with some little anx- iety felt that all danger, if any existed, was over, hen, about 4:45 o'clock q tornado struck the west side of town, going through to the northeast. The first many people knew of tile proximity of the storm Was the roaring noise, and rus hing out they saw leaves, trash and shingles whirling up through the air as small objects do III whirlwind. The path of tie storm seemed to have been about fifty ieet wide, and it was all quickly over. The storm can best be described as big whirl- wind, bounding along, striking the earth in one place and then rising in the air 10 come down again.
 Tbe storm seems to have form ed in tlle vicinity of the residence of ]. L. MeOuaid. as no report of any damage has been received further west. X number of Mr. MeOuaid'S apple trees were blown down, and the next damage was at the residence of J. w. Lewis, whose barn and outbuildings were destroyed, causing loss of S20o or $500. A porch at the residence owned by Miss Edith MeOuald and occupied by l.. NJ. Miles and family was torn away.
 Shade trees i'll the yard of G. ". keunan were blown down, and Jas. Melton suffered a like loss. At the latter place large trees were twisted off and others uprooted, and one of the tues was also blown off. Some of the trees which were uprooted at Mir. Welton's have been pulled back by block and tackle and will probably live.
 The tower at the first Baptist Church. was blown out of plumb, and shade trees at the home oi G. Dodson, and also on the place adjoining on the south, were twisted off.
 The roof on the old building formerly used by C. J. Chapman as Il packing house was torn of and parts of it blown quite a dis .tanee. It is being used by the Famous Mercantile Company as d warehouse, but none of their goods were damaged. The build ing is owned by E. A. Gillett.
 But little damage was done the Pioneer Lun6er Company, as the storm seemed to zig-zag III it' course, not touching the earth al some points.
 Probably the greatest loss wa' sustained by the Springdale Lum Der Company. The sheds were unroofed, and the walls crushed in, and lumber broken mp ant scattered. The loss here vii amount to about 5000. A chick en house on the property of MT Burner, just west ol the lumbe company, was blown across th' street, and part of it piled on tol of the lumber shed. Nj. NJ. Lav ender, manager of the lum her company. and J. F. Alvl saw the storh coming. Tn

dered speedy aid and Dominica Lessaro injured his hand consid- erably in his efforts to queneh the flames. When 1t became evident that the store could not be saved attention was turned to the hotel of Mir. Neale as it was feared for awhile that this place, too, might go. The sympathy of all the townspeople is extend ed to Leo Maestri and his charm ing wife.
 Smiling, radiant maidens re- splendent in dainty gowns, and young hopefuls, full of manly pride, greeted their Pastor, par ents, teachers, and numerous friends upon the occasion of the closing exercises of St. Mary's Academy, at the Old School Hall Thursday evening, April 29th. A program full of variety and beauty was presented in winch the pupils displayed their gifts and the splendid training receiv- ed from excellent and efficient teachers. The choruses showed precision and excellent tone while the piano duets confirmed the splendid reputation Tontitown already enjoys for its music. The recitation I'm Bad by Mary Brunetti was very realistic and the audience enjoyed the confess ion of the naughty but lovable little girl. The Italian operetta "Un Cara i'll Famiglla' by Bilii, was so exquisite and dainty, and so rich with childish grace, that the English speaking people were charmed with 1t as much as were the Italians. In Bobby Shaftoen the discontinue of the temporarily forsaken coquette was immensely amusing, and, at the end, when the reunited lov- CTS walked of the stage arm i'll arm as NIT. and Mrs. Shaftoe, the friendly, hearty laughter of the audience expressed the good will that the twain would be happy erer after. The solo quartette La Carita showed what faithful practice and intenfga jim can accomplish. "Too utterly utter
 a monologue, was recited by Miss Ida Craig who vividly portrayed the contrast between a loving, practical father and petted daughter almost spoiled by the life of a fancy boarding school. The pride of the young people m their country and flag, and their love and loyalty to the same, were beautifully expressed as the Senior Department in classic robes over which were draped American flags, gracefully and forcefully, i'll the silent language of gesture, revealed their love and patriotism while the Inter- mediate Department sang the soul stirring national anthem "fhe Star Spangled Banner. " A tableau followed in which Lib- erty was attended by Columbia and Italia, Columbia being repre- scented by little Miss Aida Bru- netti and Italia, Miss Tullia Morsani. The Tontitown band rendered number of beautiful and patriotic selections. Prem iums were awarded and Father Bandini's regret was that more could not be given as the stand ard of almost all the pupils has been so high. The few so favor ed were Misses Mary Bastinelli. Kate Pianalto, Mabel Neale, Emilia Taldo, and Master Agusto Ceola. Miss Emily Papili was the recipient of a beautiful gold medal, her attendance for the year having been perfect.

 The three south rooms of the residence property owned by G. w. kennan just east of the lum- Der company, were completely demolished. The building is oe- cupted by the families of N. (. Sherman and John Beal, but fort unately no one was i'll that por- tion of the house destroyed and all escaped injury.
 The water tank and tower at the kimmons X Walker evapor- ator was blown down and com pletely demolished, which will require considerable money to re- place. No other damage was done to the plant.
 The five-room cottage just across the street from the evap- orator, owned by the Carrel es- tate, and occupied by James Tillman and family, was moved several feet off the foundation The building was badly damaged but 1t may be possible to pull 1t back on the foundation and re- pair 1t. The furniture was also overturned and damaged to some extent, but looking glass III a dresser that was overturned was not even broken. None of the family was seriously injured, al- though Mir. Tillman was consid- erably shaken up. They heard the storm approaching, and Mr. Tillman opened door just as the storm struck tie house, and 1t Is wonder that lie was not seriously injured.
 Trees in the apple orchard Of w. l.. Stokes were nearly all blown down, and the orchard Of Dr. Sparkman was also damaged to some extent.
 A twelve year-old sonof Mr. HuekabY was struck by flying debris but not seriously hurt.
 The residence of Mrs. Martha Houston east of town was lifted from the foundation and barn and outbuildings destroyed. Loss here will be about $500 or S4o0. The family came here and bought this property onl ' few days ago, and none of them were at home al tile time.
 Miss Edith Me0uaid was the only ole of the losers who carried cyclone insurance.
 Just before the storm broke the residence of J. P. Beaver on En- ma Avenue was struck by light ming One Hue was demolished and q hole torn i'll the roof. There was no one in the house at the time but Miss Annie Rose and she was uuinjnred.
 There are always some freak happenings to report with every cyclone and this one IS reported by I. D. Nader, living in the west part of town, whose home was not really in the path of tl1e storm: A chair was picked IT and blown out of the room through an open window and nothing else on the premises was damaged.
 Heavy hail is reported in the vicinity of Lowell and Rogers some of the stones being as large as walnuts, doing considerable damage to crops.
 The town of Golden, near Flu reka Springs, just over the lint In Missouri, was almost com pletely destroyed, only one build ing, stone business house, be ing left. Eleven people are re ported to have been killed, tn, known. dead being Mrs. Will Henson, Miss Cora Prentiss, Bol Hopkins, Miss Bessie Campbell Mrs. Jarvin, Miss Stella Roberts Many more are reported injured Golden was a town of about 5Ot population.

Piper Who Played for the Unho'y
korrioars, and the Curse There
by Entai!ed.

The korrigans are the black dwarfs
of Brittany who dwell in the sacred
Druidic circles of the menhirs and
count their cash in the moonshine.
When mere mortals encounter them
by night the korrigans force their
visitors to dance with them around
and around, singing monotonously the
names of the days of the week from
Monday to Sunday. This is the theme
of the best known tradition dealing
with them, the story of Lao and the
korrigans. Lao was prize piper and
came to set the dance at the pardon
of Armor. Women, terrified at their
discovery of korrigan town, be-
sought him to avoid the little black
folk. but he laughed them down.
Bravely enough he went to the korri-
gan town. but terror came over him
in the dark when he heard whispered
sounds and dimly saw dark shadows
marching with him in the gloom.
Then the moon rose and the little
creatures bade him play for their
dance. All night long he played upon
his pipes and the little people capered
