ATTENDED, HIS OWN wake" {"
Supposed Dead Man" Walks Into
Room Full OF Mourners.

Kearney, N. j., June 18.-James
Kelly still is suffering from the
shock Of witnessing what his rela-
tives and friends believed to be his
own wake" When he returned to
his home last night after a few
days absence he found his sister,
Mrs. Catherine O'Brien, his two
brothers and a score of neighbors
sitting in the front parlor weeping
over a coffin. The mourners spied
him as he stood on the threshold and
his sister tainted at the shock of see
ing him.
During the absence the newspa-
pers had told Of the death of James
Kelley from sunstroke in Newark.
When Mrs. O'Brien read the item
she feared that the victim was her
brother and that the paper had mis-
spelled the name. She viewed the
body. The features were so singu-
larly the double OF those of her
brother that she believed il TO be his
body.

CYCLONE AT MT. CROGnAN
RIVERS BROTHERS LOSE MUCH.
Firm will Suffer Loss of $4,000 to
$1O,OOO-Propefty and Grow
ing Crops are Destroyed.

Mount Croghan Special to Column
bia State, June ia destructive
cyclone visited this place yesterday
morning about 1880 O'Clock, doing
considerable damage to property and
growing crops. The severity of the
cyclone seemed to center about this
village, doing the worst damage to
buildings.
The greatest loss fell on the
Rivers brothers, who are merchants
and farmers at this place, their two
story store room being completely
demolished, in which they had a
stock OF general merchandise and
furniture of about $4,000 or $1O,-
600. They also had two tenement
houses completely destroyed. A
large barn was badly damaged and
the handsome residence of w. A..
Rivers, a member Of the firm, was
shattered. The actual loss to this
firm will probably aggregate $4,000
or 0,0O0. 1t is understood that
they had no tornado insurance
whatever.
Considerable damage was done to
several other residences in the vii
1age and many outbuildings were
completely swept away. Much dam
age was also done to growing crops,
orchards and standing timber in this
section.
No lives were lost, although sew
eral had very narrow escapes, the
three Rivers brothers, together with
several others, deserting their build
Ing just an instant before it fell. The
store room Of Rivers brothers, which
was destroyed, was a large two-story
wooden building, in which they car
Tied a line OF general merchandise
on the ground floor and a large line
OF furniture and undertaking sup
plise on the upper floor. The wind,
striking the house from the end,
brought all the walls and floors to-
gether, laying good portion of the
roof out in the street. Considerable
damage was also done to the plant
OF the Mount Croghan Gin Company,
part of the roof being blown off and
the main building blown out of line.
The many friends of the unfortu-
nate promptly responded to the call
for assistance this morning and the
debris is being rapidly cleared away.
The damaged stock of goods of the
Rivers brothers is being stored in a
nearby house, which was vacated for
their accommodation. Their wreck
ed store building will probably be
replaced with a modern brick struc-
ture.

Such from which he cannot escape; a miserable prisoner. He must come under obligation to some parsonage or perish. The only way to recover self respect lies in recognizing the sacred debt.
 Is there anyone free? Who is so base and low as to desire to be free; to be independent of all authority and obligation. The real glory of our na- ture lies in faithful love, the ability to bind itself to another in reciprocical not my own; I cannot live without another" Man gives up his home and even his life in the fight for freedom. Service is the only condition on which it is either gained or kept. True liberty lies in serv4se, one for another. Obli- gation is noble in proportion as it flows from the heart. Christ has willed that we should be free and pleads for willing service. It is love and 1s>t bonds of Christ which con- strain us.

 Rev. MT.

NORWICH INDIAN ASSOCIATION.
Heard Able Report from State Pres
 ident, Mrs. Sara T. Kinney.

There were twenty ladies present at a meeting of the Norwich Indian the home of Mrs. Bella P. Learned of Broadway. This was conducted by the president. Mrs. F. E. Dove. After the usual reports letters were read begging for fair treatment of the Apache Indian prisoners and the irri- gation rights of the Yakima Indians of Washington. A letter from Hamp ton, Va, gave excellent reports of the Indian girl whom the association is assisting.
 The chief interest of the meeting, however. centered in Mrs. Sara T. Kin ney, president of the state association, whose able talk on the work of the state society and the things accom- plished by it in the past 30 years brought a sense of gratitude and en- couragement
 She spoke first of the Society of American Indians, which seems to her one of the most hopeful signs for the future of the American Indian. At the last conference there were represen- tatives from 100 tribes. The English language was used by all as the com mon tongue.
 The conference was entirely for In- dfans. They are undertaking to set tie matters themselves and their Eng lish friends are more than pleased. The wonderful report printed of this conference shows the right attitude of the men there as she pointed out in quotations from some of the speeches. They say the Indian cannot remain stationary but must advance on his merits. He must think and work ser fousfy. He wants the friendship and encouragement of the white man with whom his interests are one She also told of the personnel. giving interest ing sketches of many educated Indians. She then spoke of the Connecticut work at the Oneida hospital. The dis pensary is open and a visiting nurse is in charge. She is looking for field physician competent to teach hy- giene to these 1700 Oneida Indians of Wisconsin, among whom there Is con siderable tuberculosis and eye trouble. The Indian is not strong race physi- cally. She spoke of the proposed me- moriaIs to Nancy Cornelius and showed many pictures of proteges of the state association and notes and gifts from her friends among the Indian children.
 In New Mexico money winch was appropriated to build a needed road for the Indians was expended in mak- ing an automobile speedway across the estate of a United States senator 20 miles away from the Indian road.
 Mrs. Kinney gave a history of the state society which was especially in- teresting to the newer members, trac- ing it from a social call of five Hart ford ladies upon Senator Hawley's wife in 1881 through the organization, campaign of education, loans for home building. nurses training work. es- tablishment of 8. mission at Ft, Hall, Idaho, and present Oneida hospital.
