TELLS OF THE CYCLONE
Agent Hubert of Heaton Passes
Through City on His Return From !,
Rrainerd Hospital.

| N. P. Agent Hubert of Heaton was
In Fargo yesterday for a short time
en- route to his home from Brainerd
| where his wife is confined in the hos
pital from injuries received in the re-
| cent cyclone, Mrs. Heaton is rapid
| ly recovering from her injuries sus-
| tanned in the recent cyclone at Hea-
ton. Her skull was slightly fractured,
shoulder hurt, and she was severely
bruised.
Mr.. Hubert says his wife was Wis.,
,iting at a neighbours when the storm
came up and she attempted to make
her way at the depot when the cy-
clone struck. 1t tore the roof and
sides from the house where she had
been and 1t is believed these flying
fragments injured her. Several la
dies whom she had left were carried
short distance from the site unhurt.
Mr.. Hubert says he saw the storm
coming, after an excessive downpour
Of rain and hail. He was looking out
Of a window when he saw the one Of
the elevators rise gradually as If lift
ed by jackscrews. Debris was flying
in the air and he realized that some
thing was going to happen p. d. q.
and he made for the door. The wind
warped the building SO that the door
would not open and to this fact he at
tributes the fact that he is now en-
joying three meals day. He says
the elevator was slammed down up-
on the depot crashing through Just
the other side of a partition. from
him. Had he gotten out of the door
he surely would have been killed for
that part Of the depot was crushed
fiat.
One spectator Of the storm SAYS he
saw one of the elevators topple over,
then straighten up in the storm and
then he said 1t seemed to go to piec-
es as 1T had melted Everything was
over in few seconds.
After the storm everything CALM
ed down. the sun Came out and the
first attempt was to care for the dead
and injured. Mr.. Hulbert's house,
short distance north Of the depot, es-
capped with not to exceed $50 worth of
damage and this was due to flying
stuff in tho air. Some Of the material
from the lumber yards was carried
several miles into the country and
was total loss.
An insurance adjuster says there
was very little cyclone insurance in
Heaton. The contractor who built
the addition to the Congregational
church insisted upon the orga nization
taking out insurance before lie com
pleted the work and the church now
has $4,000 upon which to rebuild. An
ell was torn from the church and
the church itself swung around and
off the foundation.

FIcER OF HUMANE SOCIETY
FOR MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.

well known rag-picker about the city

been working horse that was too old
for work. The horse is considerably
over 20 years of age and has scarcely
any teeth. 1t is nothing but skin and
bones and in pitiable condition. Cohen,
however, thought he could still get
some service out Of the animal, but
the ever-vigilant captain did not agree
with him. He was brought before,
Judge Murray and was bound over TO

q. Showers of Wheatland suddenly
changing his mind. and his automobile
skidding in the mud on Main street
Monday, pedestrians were treated to
a little excitement. Mr.. Showers was
coming down Fourth street at a lively
clip and turned to- go east on Main,
when he changed his mind and at
tempted to turn, but on account of the
mud the wheels slipped with the re-
suit that he struck the curb on the
south side Of the street with sufficient
force to throw the machine across the
walk. No one was hurt, and strange
to say but little damage was done to
the auto.

FOUGHT FIRE
DURING STORM

Rugby, N. D., Sept. Rather an
unusual occurrence happened Monday
morning. During the heaviest rain
storm of the season, the department
was called out to fight fire, and for
an hour stood in pouring rain, pouring
water on the fire. During the fore
part OF the storm the Hinch barn, in
the southwest part Of the city. was
struck by lightning and the hay set
afire. Grandma Frame, being one of
the first to notice it, telephoned the
information up town, and the depart
ment was soon active. Owing to the
great distance from the nearest hyd-
rant, 1T took some time to get the hose
down there but it was finally accom-
plished and the building was saved, to
all outward appearance, at least.

SUFFERING IS ENDED
BY CARB0LIC ACID

In mood of temporary insanity
induced by Ill health, Mrs. w. r,
Rannie committed suicide at noon
saturday at her home on NJ street,
by drinking carbolic acid.
Mr.. Rannie, the woman's husband,
was the first one to learn the news.
he arrived at his home for lunch
about twenty minutes after twelve
and found the door locked. Fearing
that his wife was i'll, he succeeded
in getting into the house. On a bed,
face downward, he saw his wife.
Thinking that she had dropped
asleep, he took her by the shoulder
to awaken her. Then the horrible
truth dawned on him.
Frantic with grief, he rushed to
the house of w. M. Hair, and there
telephone message was sent to DR..
Loughridge, stating that Mrs. Ran
ME was dying. BY the time medical
aid arrived life was extinct.
On the bed beside her was found
one-ounce bottle of carbolic acid,
purchased from Sabin's drug store.
The bottle was drained with the ex-
ception of few drops. Apparently
the unfortunate woman had expert
enced difficulty in getting the cork
out of the bottle, for she had used
a hat pin in extracting the cork.
Her mouth and throat were badly
burned by the acid as 1t was swallow
ed, but everything indicated that
death was quick and she suffered
but little.
Mrs. Rannie had not been in the
best of nealth for some time. She
had returned from a trip to her old
home in the eastern states but a
couple of weeks ago. She visited with
relatives at Omaha, Nebraska and
Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Coroner Stricken was summoned
but decided that there was no neces.
sity for an inquest.

HOME RULE DECLARED
NOT CONSTITUTIONAL

PORTLAND, Nov. 16.--The Home
rule constitutional amendment pass
ed by large majority at the last
election was declared invalid by City
Attorney Grant today The city at
torney contends that the word "ex-
elusive" in the section giving con-
troll of the liquor traffic to the in
corporated cities Is In contravention
to the United States constitution and
the constitution of the state in that
it delegates sovereign police powers
to corporations.
The city attorney decided that no
licenses can be granted In Portland
to any liquor vender under this
amendment. Should Grants conten-
tion be upheld by the courts 1t means
that the liquor situation In Oregon
will remain status quo.
The home rule amendment was
created with the view OF giving the
incorporated cities OF Oregon the
right to vote wet or dry, irrespective
OF how the country voted.

LEGISLATURES WILL BE ASKED
TO CREATE DISTRICT
DISCUSSION AT THE CLUB
Josephine County Should Have an
Attractive Fair Every
Year.

That the legislature will be asked
to make Josephine county a separate
fair district is indicated by the dis,
cussions Monday evening at the reg.
ular meeting of the Commercial club
The question arose after the pre-.
sentation of the report of Secretary
Harry L. Andrews, showing that the
Commercial club was richer by q
trifle more tnan $500 as the result
of the fair. This rs an exceptiona,
showing and is the best that any
fair in southern Oregon has ever
made. A vote of thanks was extend
ed to the secretary, the members Of
the various fair committees and all
other individuals who contributed
time and money to the success of the
fair.
In discussing the best way to ex-
pend this fund several opinions were
expressed. Some favored the idea
of spending the money for the erec.
tion and maintenance of an exhibit
building near the depot in which a
display Of southern Oregon products
could be kept, so that people passing
through on the trains could be-
come familiar with what the coun.
try could do.
Another idea was advanced by
George S. Calhoun, which was that
a portion of the money be expended
for the placing of hitching posts on
some conveniently located vacant
lot for the benefit of the farmers. A
committee was appointed, consisting
of George S. Calhoun, R. L. Coe and
NJ. L. Anderson, to report on this
matter at the next meeting of the
Commercial club.
The idea Of making Josephine
county a separate fair district will
undoubtedly come up at the next
meeting of the club, when II Is ex,
pected that some definite action will
be taken. The idea has been much
discussed and has gained favor ever
since the close of the fair.
Under the present system, by
which Josephine and Jackson coun-
ties are Joined IN one district, Grants
Pass gets the fair but once in three
years.
The sentiment seems to he that
Grants Pass should hold a fair every
year and that II should be made a
winner, so tha the world will come
to loo, forward each year to Grants
poo- 'o nroyide an exhibition Of the
ratohless products that are grown
in this valley.
Prominent business men and lead
ing farmers believe that It is pos
sible to make such a fair so attrac-
tive each year that It will prove a
s"ooeeq pc financial venture, as
well as advertising the country
