Infant Tornado.

An infant tornado, but one
that to many seemed full-grown,
visited this city Wednesday ev-
ening about $50 p. M. leaving
more or less wreckage in it's
wake. The storm approached
from the east, the wind driving
the rain ahead of it in sheets, at
times making it impossible to see
across the street. A violent elec-
trio storm accompanied the rain
and wind. Half an hour later
all was quiet and tranquil, but
the streets were running full of
water, and trees in all parts of
the town were stripped of some
of their branches, and many of
them were uprooted and lying in
the streets.
The heaviest damage to build
ings was visited on Rabbits,
where the wind tore down about
seventy feet of the battlement
wall on the west, the weight of
the falling brick crushing the
steel awning, and breaking three
large plate glass windows. The
damage will probably exceed a
thousand dollars.
The steel awning and a por-
ton of the roof at the Palace of
Sweets was torn away. The
Odd Fellows occupy the second
floor, and the damage from the
water to the tenants was greater
than the damage to the building
by the wind.
Postmaster Daze lost his hand
some new flag pole just recently
erected over the postoffice.
During the electric storm the
only damage inflicted was at the
home of j. K. LaPrade, on north
Kinsley. Here the lightning al
most demolished the roof, and
tore the plastering from the cell
ing in every room on the second
floor. Water added to the gen
eral damage, which will amount
to $1,000 or more.
The Santa Fe shops did not es-
cape. The wind blew down the
three stacks at the power house,
and flames from the fire box set
fire to the building, burning off
the roof.
The rain beating into the elec-
tric light plant put them out of
commission early, but with no
trouble at the plant no service
could have been rendered as the
wires were down all over town,
which would have made danger
Gus any attempt at operation.
There was a strong demand
for kerosene lamps and talIow
candles, but the demand exceed
ed the supply.
During the storm Sunday ev-
ening the big smoke-stack at the
ice plant was blown down, fall
ing across the top of several cars
standing on the switch track.
Fortunately no cars were being
moved at the time, which pre-
vented any derailments.

Men Not to Blame.

"A NeW JorSy preacher QecrylnQ
the fact that statistics prove that
marriages are decreasing. laws
the blame on the men in the fol-
lowing statement: MEN are
largely responsible.for the failure
of women to marry. Men are
too busy making money, or re-
fuse to marry on small salaries. :"
This preacher has not studied the
true condition closely, or else was
making a talk that would be
pleasing to the women of his con-
gregation. The whole trouble
rests with the modern girl, aided
and abetted by her parents.
Marriages are no longer based on
love and affection, and an honest
desire on the part of young
lady to be real helpment to a
man, but the whole matter is
now sordid commercialism. A
men can be physical and moral
wreck, totally devoid of any am
bltlon to make personal success
in life, but if his parents have
proper rating in commercial
agencies. and are willing to sup
ply the son with all the money
he needs for his clothes and dis
sipations, devoted mothers are
anxious to make match with
such one as the husband for
their daughter. The only thing
they see is that a man of that
kind can provide for the daughter
all the comforts and luxuries,
opening for her a life of indolent
ease with no sacrifices on her
part. A clean ribbed Industrious
young man, full of hopes and
ambitions, but with no financial
rating, is given but little if any
encouragement, either by. the
doting parents or the marriage
able daughter.
| The average girl of to-day,
when she contemplates marriage,
expects TO start in life in the
same station and the same COM
Portable surroundings of the
parental home, forgetful of the
fact that her parents put in many
long years of toll and privations
together in accumulating the
wealth that made her home life
so pleasant and agreeable. In
this day and age the young lady
expects the young man to spend
all the money he earns taking
her to dances, cafe suppers and
entertainments, and buying her
flowers and baubles as evidences
of his devotion. If he fails in
these she soon looks for another
with less brains and a we'll
developed spendthrift .habit.
Knowing these things is it sur
prising that the young man with
ambitions to make a success in
life refuses to make the sacri-
fees necessary to win wife; and
|even if he made the sacrifice,
instead of getting a helpmeet
who would be glad to lend her
aid and encouragement to bring
a realization of his hopes and
ambitions, he has added a mill
stone to his neck, and a drag to
his feet. Until this economic
condition is changed, and the
girls Of to-day go back to the
ideals of their mothers who were
willing to begin life in a cottage
with the man of her choice, who
considered the sterling worth of
the man rather than his financial
standing, marriages will con-
tinue to decrease, and the world
will be the better for it in the
end.
