The Freight Situation.

Despite the assertion by the rail-
road officials that the strike situation
is getting better every day there is
still very little through freight NOV
ing, especially on the Joplin branch
of the Missouri Pacific. Freight to
Kansas City and points beyond is not
being accepted, and freight from
those points is coming in slowly and
is greatly delayed. According to the
Kansas City papers considerable
freight is being hauled on trucks to
Independence and shipped from there
on local trains.
The last load of cattle shipped from
Butler and billed to Kansas City was
shipped by Lyman Hensley Monday.
April S. Last Monday local ship
per shipped two car loads, billed to
Pleasant Hill, hoping that he might
be able to get them to Kansas City
from that point by way of the Rock
Island road, which had several
switching crews at work in Kansas
City, but he was compelled to un-
load at Pleasant Hill and up to
Wednesday he had been unable to
get any further. There are several
thousand head of live stock in the
trade territory of Butler that are
waiting the word of the lifting of the
embargo, and it is feared that when
the large number of cattle that have
been held back are thrown on the
market there may be another break
in the prices.

The Overall System Strikes Butler

For the past few weeks much has
been said in the papers OF the coun-
try about reducing the high cost of
clothing by wearing overalls and in
many places clubs have been formed
to promote the idea. All that has
been needed to start the ball rolling
in Butler was someone with sufficient
strength OF character and nerve to
brave the possible laughter of their
fellows and take the lead in the move
ment and such men have been found.
Monday evening the Monday Even
ing Club was entertained at the home
of Dr. and Mrs. T. w. Arnold, on
West Pine street and among the
guests were d. c. Chastain and F. B..
Walton, both attired in the latest
thing in overalls. The gentlemen say
that they have enlisted for the war
and will stay with it until prices drap.

TORNADO TOLL. 14o
Scores of Towns IN Mississippi, Ala
bama and Tennessee N Path
of S.urtn.

Birmingham, Ala, april TO- "A
death list which ton. .ght stood at more
than r4o and a-prop"rty loss OF many
millions of dollars was the toll Of a
series of tornadoes K:,ich to-day sMep.
a score of towns, villages and iselat-
cfi farms i'll Ea"rer Mississippi,
c,kwestern Alabama and Southern
e,lnessee.
Communication with many cf the
stricken districts wa; difficult, but
fragmentary reports agreed that the
tornado obliterated virtually every
thing in its path At least one\case--
that of Ingomar, Mlss,--practica!Jy
the entire town was reported de-
stroyed, and in several instances all
members of a family were crushed in
the debris of its home.
Striking first apparently in Jasper
county, Mississippi, about IN o'clock
this morning, the storm swept mar
eastern border of the state, carrying
destruction to dozen or more COM
munities. About the same time. ef-
fects of the same, or a similar dis
turbance were reported from counties
in the northwestern corner OF Ala
bama, the extreme force of the wind
being expended after the Tennessee
line was reached, in Williamson,
Maury and Carroll counties.
Meridian, Miss, reported at least
twenty-one dead in that vicinity while
twenty negroes were killed and a
white man fatally injured near Aber-
deem, with three deaths reported a
few miles from Amory, near there.
Twelve were killed and thirty injured,
some probably fatally, at Deemer
lumber camp, in Neshoba County, ac-
cording to reports from Philadelphia,
while Glenn reported ten dead, lngo-
mar, 6; Columbus, S; Baker, S; Bay
Springs, S; Rose Hill, f, and Keown-
Vile, 2, with several fatalities in Bell
near Starkville.
In Alabama, the rural districts
around Sheffield -GuFley Little Cove
and Waco sustained the full force of
the storm and, with some sections
still cut off, score of bodies have
been recovered.
Across the Tennessee line, 100
miles from Meridian, the storm still
had force sufficient to upset residence
and farm buildings and orchards.
Only three deaths are known to have
resulted in that state, however.
Practically all reports Of today's'
storm describe the local destruction
as having been confined to a path
from one hundred to five
hundred yards wide, within which the
cyclonic wind, when at its height,
left nothing but the most solid struc-
lures standing.
