STORM TUESDAY
At Rich Did Some Queer Things
For I. c. Jones.

Tuesday morning, little before
9 o'clock, when the rain was pouring
down here in torrents, the vicinity
of Rich, nine miles Southwest of
here, was visited by cyclone. &C
companied by a heavy down-pour Of
rain. The wind was so strong that
T. C. Jones' flock of sheep and lambs
was blown about like falling leaves
in a gale. The winds motion was
spiral and the force was so great
that new 4-room frame tenement
house on the farm was lifted from
the pillars and carried distance Of
about $50 feet. During the transit
ton the building was dropped to the
earth two or three times. The large
brick chimney was, Of course, torn
all to pieces and the damage to the
building was about 500, if the new
location does not suit Mr.. Jones, to
move it will cost nearly that much
more. Strange to say. none of the
sheep or lambs were injured by the
winds. The roof of the little rail
road station at Rich was blown off
and the debris was scattered in every
direction. The cyclone did not cut
very wide swath. but it performed
several o h e r stunts besides those
mentioned and 'toCk to the woods"
but not doing any very great damage.

DEATH RIDES UPON
STORM AND FLOOD
MISS NOE
Winning Fame By Her Beauti-
full Singing.

The orchestra of the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music gave a con-
cert recently. Owing to throat af-
lection Miss Eta Mastin uas unable
to appear as the soloist and Miss
Emma Noe, of this city, a student
in the Conservatory, who is studying
under Signor Tirindelli, was assigned
to fill Miss Mastin's place on the
program. Miss Noe scored a splen-
did success. which is accumulated by
the fact that competent critics are
sent to musicals to write up the
leading participants and give an un-
prejudiced account of their vocal
powers and their ability for greater
accomplishments.
The Cincinnati Enquirer said Of the
part Miss Noe took on the program:
THE soloist was Miss Emma Noe,
a gifted pupil Of DR.. Luck, who as
sumed the place of Miss Eta Mas
tin. The latter was prevented by a
throat affection from singing, and
Miss Noe, on short notice, undertook
to assume her place, singing the Ny
Heart at Thy Sweet Voice aria,
from Samson and Delilah, Miss
Noe has beautiful mezzo voice, and
the dignity and security with which
she accomplished her task reflected
great credit on her as well as her
coach"
The Cincinnati Times said:
LAS Miss Eta Mastin, VINO was
announced to sing the Samson and
Delilah' aria, My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice. was indisposed. her
place was supplied by Miss Emma
Noe, also pupil of DR.. Ferry Lulik,
who at only a few hours notice sang
the same aria with fine effect. Miss
Noe has a rich voice of beautiful
timbre and carrying power and de-
serves double credit for stepping IN
at the last moment"
Miss Noe certainly has a great
future. Since she first began to
sing in Hopkinsvile her vocal pow
ers have continued to be strC ger and
sweeter at almost every appearance.
Everybody knows that the strongest
voice is not always the sweetest, but
there are some instances of where
carrying power and melody travel
hand in hand, and this seems to be
the case with Miss Noe. Another
great quality of her voice is its full
ness and distinctness of articulation.
Miss Noe is now studying Italian
and French as well as taking voice.
She is studying hard and when rest
time comes for the students she will
come home the last of May or first
of June for a short stay and then re-
turn to Cincinnati to resume her
studies.
| Hopkinsville furnished America s
great tenor in the person of Ricardo
Martin. and it may be that she will
furnish one of our greatest sopra-
nos.

spectacles. In all of these cities
there was heavy loss of life and
property.
In Delaware, Ohio. nineteen per-
sons are known to have lost their
lives and thirty to fifty others are
missing. Terre Haute, swept by a
disastrous tornado last Sunday, was
partly inundated, interfering with

DAYTON UNDER WATER.
At Dayton. Ohio, where three riv-
ers, the Miami. Saltwater and anoth-
er stream known as Wolf creek, con-
join, there was loss of life, accord
ing to some reports and destruction
of property. For the most part the
city lies on a level flat with four
streams meeting almost in the heart
of the city. The streams are pro-
tected by levees twenty-five feet
high. The levees protecting the
Miami river broke and the flood was
augmented by the rapidly rising wa
tiers of other streams. The situation
was made worse by the breaking OF
the Laramie reservoir, fifty miles
above Dayton.
Cincinnati, March 26.-No one can
tell the number of dead claimed by
the terrific storm that swept away
the lives of Dayton yesterday. nor
can the amount of damage be est.

at Brooksyille. from Dayton, twelve
miles east verifies the report that
the water is 80 feet deep in the
business center of the city and run
ming like a mill race. He assert:
hundreds of persons have been
drowned. Many of them lost their
lives when boats were upset by the
rapid current.
The mayor of Dayton. in an ap
peal made to the mayor of Spring
field. reported that the water il
thirteen feet in the union station in

AN AID TO THE ROADS

Rain probably was never more Vel cJ med by travellers on the roads iu and out of Tempe than now. While it naturally means inconvenience and rather hard travelling at the present tune once the weather is cleared, the roads will be left in a shape that will more than wipe off the blot made hy the wet weather Since the middle ct the summer dust has been most bothersome nuisance. And added to this for several months has been the Tuts and chuckhoIcs. making in all a combination hard to evade with pleas antness to the pedestrian. The rain is especially welcomed on the new highway road just opened to travel cn the north side of the river Natur- ally with the grading the road was left in poor shape for immediate travel. But with the soaking pre- c-pitation of the Iasy few days there will not be a pretty stretch of coun- try highway than that to be found here. The rain will leave the gravel coating of the road compact and in excellent shape for years to come
 Asaiu on tn newly sraveled eight blocks of highway within the city limits of Tempe the rain is most welcome. Dust is thing of the past now, and while mud is just now pie sent, the future will present d conGf- ton that will appeal most approving ly to the lover of 6ood roads.
