SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS
In Pioneer Days In Missouri Every d.

Nearly every pioneer preacher In
Missouri was as expert in the use OF
the rifle as any OF the laymen, says

The practice OF carrying firearms
was not abandoned or suspended even
on the Sabbath. An old pioneer states
that on one occasion religious serv.
ices were held In Saline county whom
the preacher proclaimed the gospel Of
peace with his hand and his clothing
covered with blood from a deer that
no had killed and butchered on his
way to the meeting that morning.
The pioneer preachers labored with.
out money and without price. They

Inns IN the old Days.

Inns in Europe In ancient times ware
sometimes dangerous places. and a
great innkeepers' convention was held
In Germany early In 1900 at which
plans were made for experimenting
murderous bonifaces. However, the
congress broke up In a fight about the
relative merits of English and French
hostelries, and nothing was done about
the matter.
During the meeting several hosts told
of the continued complaints received
from guests who had been kept awake
by feas In the beds. 1t was recon-
mended that guests be compelled TO
furnish their own bedding, that they
might have only themselves to blame.
The proposition of changing the bed
and table linen where any was used,
once every two weeks wns discussed
and rejected The German innkeepers
boasted that they changed theirs every
Lords day" but nobody believed
them
One entcrprising delegate suggested
that men be stationed In belfry tow
er In every city to spy out approach
ing travellers, SO that the innkeepers
might prepare for their arrival.

Storm Passes through Iowa
and Spends Its Force at
Terre Haute, Indiana

The latest reports of fatalities caused
by Sunday evenings cyclone at Om,-
ba. several Iowa cities and Terre
Haute. Indiana, place the number of
lives lost at 1893. The revised list of
dead at Omaha is given ut ITO. The
injured in the path of the storm ieaoh-
es into hundreds. of whom many are
expected to die.
The pathway Of the storm at Omaha
from three to seven blocks in width
cut swath "a blocks long, first
through an exclusive residence section
of the city. then through graduation
of dwellings until it expended its final
energy in the wreoking of pool hall
and moving picture show.
The total numEer of deaths in this
part of the city reached almost 80.
Within the space of this storm center
which, IL made rectangular. would
cover quarter section of land, 1900
houses are wrecked. and l60 dead
todies have been recovered.
The property loss is estimated at ten
million dollars. The tornado swept
through strip Eve miles long in the
northern part Of the city at six O'Clock
Sunday evening, carrying death and
destruction in its path. The tornado
entered the city from the southwest
after destroying Ralston. and swept
past the county hospital. 1t travelled
in a northeasterly direction, sweeping
everything before it and then changed
its course. travelling east of the Mis-
souri, river where 1t disappeared into
the Iowa bluffs.
Buildings were picked up. twisted
and hurled with terrific force against
smaller structures. The wind treated
rich and poor alike, razing buildingf
in the most aristocratic section of the
city as we'll as the tenement districts,
Some of the most costly houses in The
city were demolished. The tornado
was followed by torrential rains and

scores of fires were started simultan-
eously. Estimates of the value Of
property demolished vary between
So. 900. 900 and $l2,00O,0O0. Some of
the more substantial houses can be
partly retuilt but this number is
small and where the buildings have
not been torn asunder they have been
so twisted that even the material 10

schools and are out of commission in
Omaha and seven churches were part

girls is a total wreck. although the
students escaped. The rest of the loss
is to homes. The destruction began
with the millionaires' homes in the
exclusive West Farnum and Bemis
Park districts. Few lives were los.
in this district but farther northwest
the badly constructed buildings col.
lapsed more easily and large numbers
of deaths resulted.
The storm was first observed just
before six O'Clock coming from the
southwest with the speed of an express
train. The roar could be heard long
tefore itstruck. Ahead Of the storm
was huge fan-shaped cloud. II grew
darker and gradually narrowed to a
funnel shape. dipping earthward and
wherever it-struck 1t killed, manned
and razed.
People in every section of the city
watched the approach of the oyclone.
The streets through which 1t passed
are piled high with debris. Uninjured
rushed to the aid of the injured and
wagons were pressed into service and
they we're rushed to hospitals. Homes
of the fashionable residents were
thrown open to the two thousand
homeless. Weeping women and chill
dren were massed at the undertaking
rooms seeking missing relatives and
pathetic saenes were enacted.
Leaving Omaha. the storm swept
across the Missouri river, carrying
devastation to Council Bluffs aud
ether towns IN the vicinity. 1t appears
to have lifted aud next struck in In

a UNIQUE Ice Fountain.

In the parks and public places In the
colder parts OF Germany not uncom-
mon object In winter is the so called
Ice fountain, rugged pyramid of ice
many feet in height, which glistens In
the winter sun and is most effective
1t is constructed as follows:
A fir tree of suitable dimensions and
dense growth Is placed upright In the
ground or In circular pond where
there is a water fountain, and a water
pipe with q fairly fine rose Is fixed to
the stem so that the rose is at the top.
The water Is then allowed to run
slowly, generally at night when there
Is frost, and in the morning 1t Is
turned of again. The water freezes as
1t trIckles over the branches, and after
two or three nights severe frost the
tree is entirely enyeloped in ice. A
well frozen fee fountain will last some
days even when q thaw has set In. and
1t can always be touched up on the re-
turn Of the frost by turning on the wa
ter again.
