Oklahoma is one of the states which
is geographically in position to report
the earliest tornadoes of each year. The
twirler reported from Norman was
doubtless a severe one in the estimation
of the comparatively few victims thus
far reported, but it may have ripped
through vacant spaces which in a few
wears will offer more distractions be-
nanse of settlement

The rains Of the past two weeks have
placed the farming country in this par;
of Wisconsin in fine condition for the
growing of big crops. Lowlands which
We're comparatively dry last season ane
the year previous are covered with water
and marshes are trimming full. If the
present cool weather. which is conducive
to strong roofing by plant life, should be
followed by warm and reasonably dry
weather until harvest, the husbandmen
hereabout will have occasion to rejoice.

The illumination of three thousand
pounds of dynamite in the barracks at
Havana. and the consequent death of
more than hundred persons, is a calam-
ity in comparison with which the much
feared passing of the comet was a hui
morous diversion. And the Havana dyn-
amite. which was not feared at all, be-
cause men who handle explosives be-
come callous to danger, probably explod
ed as result of carelessness, while the
much-feared but harmless comet could
not be avoided

When the steamer Faustin, coal laden,
foundered off Bar Point, Lake Erie,
Tuesday night, another relic of the clos
ing years of wooden construction passed
out of existence. Other representatives
of her time and class will go likewise,
and it will be happy for all concerned
if the crews fare as well as did that of
the Faustin. through the providential
appearance of a rescuing tug.

A New York cocaine peddler has been
sentenced to two years Imprisonment
in state prison. This is the heaviest
penalty ever imposed under the cocaine
law, but the prisoner had brought it
down upon himself by repeated offenses.
In few days the new law of New York
which makes it a crime to have cocaine
in ones possession without a physician
prescription will go into effect. The
measures to suppress the cocaine habit
are stringent. but the social menace of
the cocaine habit is very great.

ENTERING MUNICIPAL LIFE.

The new civic league of Norwalk is
 9 woman's club and it has entered
 city life a a force looking for the bet
 torment of the city without any agita- ton for femaIs suffrage or any street parades The evidence that it is live and purposeful club is the issu ance of The Civics Bulletin (Vol T.. No. 1), which salutes the people for a better Norwalk thus:
 '-NorwaIk has unrivalled interests, natural beauties. resources. situation, history and destiny. Such as it is, it was bequeathed to US by our fathers
 with love and pride, but without sys tematic and comprehensive develop inent; and individuals, clubs, local
 governments and public men have sell
 dom applied themselves to the problem of the better Norwalk with continu-
 ity of idea or with unflagging zeal,
 What is the Norwalk of the future
 to be? Not merely a city of pretty lawns and isolated homes. There are to be broad improvements planned as a whole, harm onious. effective, sub stantia1.and for the highest good. "The Civics league proposes first, discussion. with the highest aims and for seemingly unattainable results, but with the deep conviction that what ought to be can be, and that the first ! plan it. Nothing should be left out that is reasonable and that can con tribute to the common good''
 That it may not seem to be self centered in it's work. it announces that 1 ''tie lea gue has espoused two other world wide causes of the greatest mo- naent to humanity, the abolition of war
 and the abolition of poverty; and whatever the weight and influence of the Civics lea que may be it intends to put it's influence on the side of right and of good. In these two great fields, whether by treaty or by the force of public opinion, humanity must be re- Iieved of the growing burden of war and the preparation for war in times of peace'

ovERsuRDENEp COMMUNITIES.

Religious denominational competi- tion seems to be as disastrous as commercial competition where it is overdone- A Dakota pastor writes in the Honiletic Review of The Crime of DenominAhonalism and asking if there are not more churches than the cause of Christ justffies.
 An Iowa town of 500 people with six churches, a Missouri town of 250 with four, another of 1S9 people with four, and a. northwestern town of six houses and two churches are instanced as striking examples of over-churching, which, says. this cler- gylnan- is detrimental to Christian fellowship. causes jealousy and prose iyting and weakens the influence of the church with outsiders.
 There are plenty of places without churches Instead of crowding new churches into communities that are already supplied with all necessary provision for the spiritual needs, the writer urges an understanding among the denominations to prevent estab- lishment of churches in fields now fully occupied.
 In contrast to this, it is shown that Proctor. Vt. has union church rep resenting all Protestant denominations which is strong and healthy. And it is claimed that all Protestants under one banner,--standing for the service of Christ. look better than separate bodies fighting one another; and are more successful
