was virtually to declare war against
the republic since the senate had ea-
pressly declared thai Caesar should
lay down his arms and disband his
forces within limited time under
penalty of being declared an enemy
of the commonwealth

WIND STORM
Greatest Ever Known in This
Section Plays Havoc
With Property.

Thousands Of dollars worth Of proper
ty was destroyed last week as the result
of the fierce wind storm that prevailed
here for about three hours Tuesday ev-
ening, from G to clock. Roofs were
lifted from dwellings and business
houses, signs were scattered in all d.
rections, trees were uprooted and fences
twisted and blown down. 1t is said to
have been the strongest wind that ever
prevailed in this section of the country,
and the Oldest residents declare it to be
fact
For about two hours the main thor
.oughfares of Richmond were as com
pletely deserted as if the earth had
swallowed them up, everyone being
afraid to venture out for fear of getting
hit with flying tree limbs, or torn signs.
Reports from over the county show
that the heaviest damage ever known to
have been wrought from wind storms
came with rush. On the farm Of Mr..
George Phelps, on the Lexington pike,
a barn was blown down and other dam
age done. At Berea, Kingston, College
Hill. Red House, Kirksville and other
sections, chimneys were blown down,
fences torn away and roofs blown from
the houses by the great force of the
wind. The Kincaid Brick & Tile Co.,
at Waco, lost a large smoke stack,
which was terribly torn and twisted.
The Glyndon hotel building, the Culton
building, the Normal School, the home
Of Mr.. Green Turley on the Big Hill
pike, the residence of w. J.. Crutcher,
on the Barnes Mill road, and the home
Of VIM. Griggs, were all visited by the
destructive wind and great pieces of
roofing and chimneys were torn away.
No loss Of life has been reported, and
only one or two instances where stock
suffered, has been reported so far by tie
Climax correspondents throughout the
county.

Kansas, and Congressman Richard
Hooson, the war hero, have been here
and have pleased large audiences. Mr..
Bryan is still great man in the public

The people Of Richmond and Madison

totality extending from Auckland, Aus

Night Foreman Bailey received a ter
rible scare last Tuesday evening at TIE
L. & A. shops during the terrific wind
storm and his assistants were also given
shaking up, when a portion Of the
building in which they were working
was lifted by the wind and blown to
pieces. The men thought the entire
building was doomed. and were prepar-
ing to desert their posts of duty, when
Foreman Bailey, VINO had recovered
from his sudden fright, prevailed on
them to remain. The damage amount
ed to about 500.
