KANSAS HAS TORNADO
Joplin, Weir City and Scammon
in Path of CIoudburSt.

A tornado and cloudburst hit the
mining section of southeastern Kansas
and did considerable damage to prop
erty between here and Joplin and
Weir City and Scammon. NO serious
damage was done in Pittsburg, but at
Weir City dwelling houses were blown
down and scattered over the country
and store fronts were blown in. One
woman was killed and several injured
there. The damage at Weir City is
estimated at about $1,000 Build
ings were blown down cIel at Scam
mon in Cherokee county, but no one
was injured.
A man was killed by the wind at
Galena Kan. Interurban and railroad
traffic is badly crippled The storm
did much damage around joplin and
at Webb City and the Joplin mining
district will be idle today because of
the superstructure and buildings be-
ing lowered to the ground The dam
age at Electric Park, Joplin, an amuse-
ment resort, amounts to so eco. Mrs
C. A. Houston was killed and all the
family except her infant, seriously in
jured when wind demolished their
home near Carl Junction, eight miles
northwest of Joplin, Mo.

Where the Money of the Country Goes

pensions, the army and navy, the
courts, lighthouses, the foreign service
and all the departments at the capital.
Of this sum 1888 on the average falls
on each inhabitant. Set this over
against 1861, the average cost per
capita of local rule in the cities, and
$2471 in New York city. The con-
trast will show that the national ma
chinery costs less than that at home,
under the very eyes of the citizens
The public schools are maintained
in the cities at cost of $4.70 per
capita, while $2.25 is paid for the po-
lice and SLIP for the fire department.
Thus schools and the police in cities
cost $6.95 year per capita, or only
38 cents per capita less than the total
ordinary disbursements of the national
government.
The taxpayers are proud of the pub
lie schools and do not begrudge the
moneys spent for them. The police
is required for the safety of the COM
munity, for the maintenance of law
and order. If the funds are laid out
honestly and wisely, the taxpayer will
not scrimp either schools or the po-
lice. People are apt to forget that
these cost almost as much as all the
machinery of the Union

ART OF FAMILY QUARRELING.
Husband and Wife Not to Loose
Their Tempers at the Same
Time.

The Jarr family Is closely related
to nine-tenths of humanity. And the
gentle art of family quarreling is one
that deserves the attention of all.
Shorn of it's "cuss" words and bitter
recriminations the family quarrel
can yet be made, to serve a useful
purpose.
| know man fond of having his
own way He insists his tempera
ment demands freedom. His idea of
freedom is to stay out until he gets
good and ready to come home. say,
about 2 or 3 a. m.
His wife does not love liberty-his
brand of liberty-and the Jarr fam
lily live in their house without pay
ing rent.
When the advocate of personal
freedom comes rambling home with
the early milk wagon, wife is ma
tura-ly eXasperated. To all her in
quiries and reproaches his only an
swer is Good morning, Carrie!" in
the sweetest, most urbane tone.
Now, if that isn't the soft answer
tGGt turneth away wrath. What is?
Another branch of the ubiquitous
Iarrs has drawn up an agreement
binding husband and wife not TO
lose their tempers at the same time
If she begins the quarrel it is hers
ard he has no right to appropriate
it to his own uses. On the other
hand, if he starts the shindig her
rcle is the meek and lowly.

The clever woman will never quar-
rel with her husband just before go

social festivity.
1t gives other women a bad i'm
preston of your ability as a mana
ger" to see you dragging in a su-ky
husband, who talks pessimistic dri-
vel all evening and stuffs you into
your wraps like so much baled hay
when it is time to go home.
We have all extended our fervent
sympathy to the nan whose wife is
welded to the mOnolog habit, but
even that is better than the spectacle
of two uneveniy matched people try
ing to out talk each other.
Patience, charity, forbearance and
a number of other virtues, may be
developed through the proper use Of
the family quarrel.
But be sure the man of the house
gets his share of these good quail
ties Women have selfshly combined
TO keep these traits in the female line
for many generations.

commissary department, don't waste
your time framing up excuses. Just

FISHERIES CASE DECISION
United States Wins Five of the Seven
Points Under Dispute.

At The Hague meeting the United
States wins on five points out of the
seven points submitted to the inter
national court of arbitration in the
Newfoundland fisheries dispute with
Great Britain in the decision just
handed down.
The century-old fisheries dispute
was the source of constant diplomatic
friction between the governments of
the United States, Great Britain, Can
ada and Newfoundland.
The American government is sus-
tanned on points two, three. four, six
and seven. out of the total of the
seven points in which the issue was
framed. Great Britain wins on ques-
tions one and five.
While the United States triumphs
on five of the seven points, point five,
decided in favor of Great Britain, has
been held by Englishmen as the most
important of those submitted.
The fifth point was stated in the
form of this question:
From where must be measured the
three marine miles of any of the
coasts. bays, creeks, or harbors re-
ferred to in article L of the American
British treaty of 1882
United States fishermen claimed the
right to take the measure from any
part of the British North American
shore, and therefore the liberty to fish
in the middle of any Canadian bay or
estuary having a radius of more than
three miles.
The British contention was that the
limit should be measured fl I'm an i'm
aginary line connecting the headlands.

wv XTA&IINGTON.-After a series OF
w tests continuing since February
the Postoffice Department has ar
ranged for a formal six months try
out of an invention for delivering and
picking up mails by fast trains. AS a
demonstration of the practicability OF
the system a live pig, weighing So
pounds, was recently delivered with
out injury at Carrollton, KY, the home
of the inventor, without the slightest
injury from a train running 25 miles
an hour.
For years the Postoffice Department
has sought an improved method of
picking up and delivering mails over
the old catcher-hook system, and the
new device was the result of four
years advertising by the postal au-
thorities, urging inventors to produce
something that would meet the re-
quirements.
1t is 40 years since the catcher hook
came into use, and in spite of the
progress in railroading and the tre-
mendous improvement in the mail
service along other directions no for

II HE cost of the national government
i is but small part of the burden
on the taxpayer. The expenses of cities
are manifold greater to each person
than are thcse of the Union. The GEN.
sus brings together the figures for the
15S cities of the country which have
population of $4,000 and over. Their
expenditures for the year 1908 were
1861 per capita. Boston far sur
passed this ratio, and leads in moneys
paid for local administration, showing
an outlay for each person of $27.58;
New York comes next with its munich
pal budget of $24.71 per capita, while
Washington follows close with cost
of $246S for each person. The chief
items of expenditure in cities are
schools, police and fire protection.
Last year under the laws of Con-
gress for all purposes the nation spent
$3.50, ,72S,353. This amount cared for

HUNTING WILD HORSES.
A Favorite Sport in New South
WaIes-How the Animals are
Broken.

Whether "brumby" is a survival OF
the aboriginal name for wild horse o.
corruption of unbranded" appears
to be a question which philOlogists
have left undecided, but brumby HINT
ing is still a favorite sport in New
South Wales.
Districts like the Clarence and
Stephens and Manning River water
shed are still the home of numerous
droves of brumbies, and hunting
them is declared to be a very eXhil-
Grating pastime. The first step taken
is to stake out corral and make Sc
cure all except narrow entrance,
which can subsequently be gated. On
either side of the entrance and pro
jecting from it funnelwise a "boobE
fence" is prepared.
To the simple minded brumby it
presumably looks like a stOckade, and
pieces of fluttering cotton make If
look impregnable. When this is
ready the young bloods, we'll mounted,
gallop cut and round up the wild
horses, driving them with shou
and much loud swapping of stock
whips toward the mouth of the funnel.
In a grouD of brumbies there is al
ways a leader. and when once the
hunters have got the leader heading
for the corral they are pretty certain
of the rest of the drove. The f1utter-
ing cotton rags of the sham fence are
sufficient to deter the brumbies from
breaking through the flimsy barriers
and in less time than it takes to tel
the wild horses are safely corralled
and the big gate shut on them.
Then they are left for four and
twenty hours without food and water
TO reflect on the situation. and after
that they can be broke without much
difficulty.-London Standard.
