100 dead, MANY HURT
RECORD OF CYCLONE THAT
SWEPT TWO STATES.
Houses Are LeveIIed ao If They Were
Made Of Cardboard In illinois
and Indiana.

Chicago, Ill.-One hundred people
killed, twice as many badly hurt and
100000 property damage was the
record estimated for the terrific tor
nado that swept Illinois and Indiana.
Chicago escaped by margin of less
than 80 miles. From point several
miles this side of Grant Park, ILL.,, to
the southern extremity at Cairo, a
whirling, death-dealing storm swept
the state, killing some, manning
others and levelling houses as if they
were made of cardboard.
AS an indication of the awful force
of the wind that struck Grant Park,
where 40 persons were injured, IL box
cars loaded with brick were blown
from railroad sidetrack and over
turned.
Bush, Kankakee, West Frankfort,
Campus, Grant Park, Willisville, Muir
physboro, Freeman, Limestone and
Lowell, ILL.,, and various towns in In
diana were nearly swept from the
map
Farming regions lying between
those towns all felt the full force Of
the storm.
Numerous instances are recorded
where persons were driving when the
storm struck them. Near Morocco,
Ind, Miss Meta Hamlin and Bruce
get home ahead of the storm. They
lost the race and when rescuers came
along the road later they found both
of them with their clothing hanging
in shreds lying among the wreckage
of the buggy, while the horse had dis
appeared. The whirling storm had
picked buggy, occupants and horse up
as if they had been straws, hurled
them 100 feet from the road and flung
them into gulley. Both the persons
were injured but will recover.
At Campus, ILL.,, Nelson Husle, his
wife and their oldest daughter were
all killed when their house crashed
down upon them and two other chill
dren were badly injured.
The village of Bush, in Williamson
county, was almost entirely razed.
Eighteen were killed outright and sew
eral others died after being removed
to hospitals in st. Louis.
Seventy-five houses, the hotel, post
office, mining company's office and the
railroad roundhouse were all torn
from their foundations and hurled to
the ground
Near Benton, ILL.,, in Franklin coun-
ty, William Gambill and two daugh-
ters were killed and one son fatally
injured About so people were in
jured. The property loss is enormous.
At Willisville the coal company's
building and two rows of % houses
were swept flat to the ground, several
miners being killed.

THANKSGIVING PSALM
A Rhythmical and Grateful Chant.

A teacher in Terre Haute public
school joins in the chorus:
Teaching is a business which re-
quires great deal of brain and nerve
force. Unless this force is renewed as
fast as expended the teacher is ex-
hausted before the close of the year.
Many resort to stimulating tonics for
relief.
Fer 8 years / struggled against al
most complete exhaustion, getting
what relief could from doctors tom
les. Then in the spring of 1903 I
had an attack Of la grippe and ma
laria which left me too weak to con-
tinue my work. Medicine failed to
give me any relief, change of eli
mate failed thought should never
be able to go back in school again.
Il ate enough food (the ordinary
meats-white bread, vegetables. etc.,,
but was hungry after meals.
81 happened at this time to read an
article giving the experience of an.
other teacher who had been helped by
Grape-Nuts food. l decided to try
Grape-Nuts and cream, as an expert
ment. 1t was a delightful experience,
and continues SO after a year and
half of constant use.
First, l noticed that / was not
hungry after meals.
"In few days that tired feeling left
me, and l felt fresh and bright, In
stead of dull and sleepy.
'In three months, more than my usual
strength returned, and had gained 15
pounds in weight.

any kind of tonics-was mot absent

FOUR TRYS AT SUICIDE
EDWARD MYERS ACCUSED OF AS
sAULT WOULD KILL SELF.
Made Last Effort at SeIf.DestructIon
In City Prison After Tyler
Girl Episode.

Columbus.-Edward Myers, twenty
seven years old, 110 Chicago avenue,
made two unsuccessful attempts to
end his life by hanging in the city
prison, after he had been arrested for
alleged mistreatment of Grace Tay-
lor, G, daughter of G. r.. Taylor of
1867 West Broad street, and Daisy
Stansberry, 2, of IA Chicago avenue.
The Taylor girl was wheeling the
Stansberry child in a go-cart along
West Broad street when man, said
to have been Myers, appeared and,
with offers of candy and visit to a
picture show, induced her to ac-
company him.
Her cries attracted the attention Of
persons living in the vicinity and the
man fled. The child was found with
her clothing badly torn and in hys-
terical condition. The entire neigh
borhood vas aroused and crowd of
more than 500 secured streets and
alleys in the vicinity searching for
the child's assailant.
Policeman Shaw arrested Myers. who
answered the description of the man
seen with the children. Detectives
Shellenbarger and Creedon took N.Y.
ers to the Taylor home, where the
girl identified him as her assailant.
Dorothy Porter, 16, of 113 North
Princeton avenue, identified him as
the man she saw leading the children.
Myers denied he had ever seen the
children before. A few minutes after
he was locked in the city prison,
Myers attempted suicide by hanging
himself with belt. He was cut
down and revived by Police Surgeon
Pickering. Later Myers was discov.
cred making a second attempt to hang
himself with his shcestrings.
Myers has a reputation for making
unsuccessful efforts to end his life,
Some time ago he took carbolic acid
while in front of the Mckinley monu
ment on High street, and few days
later he stood in front of the city
prison and attempted to end his life
by taking poison.

Last Boat.

From U. s. Senate or Any Other
Source, ls His Comment.

New York, April 19.-J. Bruce Is
may left the ship last night and went
to the rear Of the dock where the off,
ces of the Cunard line are located. He
was guarded by detectives and only a
limited number Of newspaper men
were admitted to his room. He wore
a new suit of clothes and one OF the
new fashioned Scotch caps. He gave
out a carefully prepared statement at
his desk His statement was read by
one Of the officers of the White Star
line and then someone asked:
ION what boat did you leave the
Titanic?"
He said: What do you mean; l
don't know what you mean"
He was asked on what boat he left
the ship and replied: 81 left on boat
leaving from the center"
He was asked what the number OF
the boat was and replied: "The last
one l left from the starboard forward
collapsible, the last boat to leave"
He said regarding the collision that
the Titanic hit the iceberg a glancing
blow and that she slid off, and that in
his opinion and in the opinion Of ex-
perts she tore out large part of her
keel. He then went on to state, as
follows:
In the presence and under the
shadow of a catastrophe 80 over
whelming my feelings are too deep
for expression in words. l have only
to say that the White Star line, its
officers and employees, will do every
thing possible to alleviate the suf-
fering and sorrows of the survivors
and the relatives and friends of those
who have perished. The Titanic, was
the last word in shipbuilding. Every
regulation prescribed by the British
board Of trade had been rigidly com,
piled with. The master, officers and
crew were the most experienced and
| skillful in the British service. l am
informed that a committee of the
pointed to investigate the circum-
stances Of the accident.
Il heartily welcome the most COM
plete and exhaustive inquiry and any
| aid that l or my associates or our
builders or navigators can render is
at the service of the public and the
| governments of both the United States
and Great Britain. Under these cir
cumstances l must respectfully defer
making a further statement at this
time"

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Market Opens Strong, but Be-
comes Dull-Irregular Closing.

A DISK opening, with ADVANCED
prices on some Of the leading issues,
marked the beginning Of the stock
market yesterday. After an initial
bullish activity there were evidences OF
a slowing up Of speed and some reac-
ton took place, but the undertone was
firm. st Paul exhibited considerable
vitality and sold up to It's highest point
on the present rally. American To-
bacco among the specials showed
strength, but Liggett & Myers was
comparatively higher than the former.
Considerable selling Of Steel developed
during the first hour, which had ten
dency to check an advance, but ap-
parently did not affect the bullish I'M
dertone Of the market Back into an
apathetic state sank the stock market,
as was the rule Of each day last week,
and the waiting and watching tactics
of the bulls and bears began. The I'M
dertone held strong. but there was no
inclination evidenced on the part OF
important interests to purchase more
than was necessary to hold the market
in a position Of reserved f1rmness.
Some reports Of Western demand for
good speculation issues were circulated
and there was strength shown in Rock
Island, but there were no features Of
special influence shown up to the noon
hour. The quiet tone Of the market
continued to prevail during the early
afternoon. and traders seemed TO be
satisfied to let the natural trend of
operations go along with no active at
tention on their part. No stimulation
was attempted, but prices appeared to
be hardening, and sentiment gradually
rose to- a feeling of optimism, which
created an impression Of confidence.
Some observers of the market were in
ciined TO the belief that the strength
Of the tobaccos was a sign Of coming
builishness, and that quite an advance
would soon occur In these stocks,
which would be followed by several
others. Baltimore & Ohio's good earn
ings had a favorable effect on this
stock, which sold up to ITO, its highest
point In the present movement. The
late trading was accompanied by some
pressure, which was absorbed very
well, but the positive attitude Of the
market in the last half hour showed
some disposition TO relax, and prices
went off some at the close. Baldwin
Locomotive on the continued reports Of
locomotive orders from railroads de-
yeloped strength, and Linseed pre-
ferred also was In favor on good fax
seed crop prospects. With the excep-
ton Of the pronounced gain in to-
baccos, Snuff and Erie I'd preferred,
most Of the remaining stocks which
showed advanced prices were recorded
in fractions, and the markets closing
as a whole was very irregular. News
which could be used to show bearing
on the market was comparatively light.
The steel trade among the independ
ents, as we'll as in the United States
Steel Corporation, is taxed to capacity,
and the independents, following the
Steel Corporations lead, have an
nounced an advance in wire prices Of
81 a ton. The better tone Of consols
In London was we'll received and the
dull tone of the local money market
kept any unfavorable factor from that
quarter out Of the days consideration.

NEW YORK CURB.

The high priced industrial shares were
the strongest and most active issues in
the curb market for outside securities
yesterday, but on the whole the general
tone was somewhat irregular. Standard
OIL subsidiaries were In better demand.
a number of which showed gains OF about
10 points. United Cigar Stores at one
time showed a gain OF points to new
high record at 3s, while the new issue
advanced In proportion. British Arneri-
can Tobacco and rights moved up frac-
tionally. In the mining list trading was
comparatively narrow. with interest cen
tired I'm the low priced shares. such as
Jim Butler, West End Extension and
Tonopah Merger, all OF which showed
substantial gains. The leading copper
stocks were practically neglected. The
silver issues were dull but steady. No
dealings in bonds OF any account and
prices remained quiet and practically UNI
changed
