About the middle of the afternoon a bright sky quickly gave way to dark and lowering clouds. A few people from the country started for home, but tho majority decided to wait until the shower was over. Later the sky lighted for a time, but at 5 o'clock the wind suddenly changed to the west and north, s.nd then went back to the south, and an ominous looking cloud piled up in the souttiwest and moved slowly toward the town. There was a stillness and oppressiveness in the air which caused people to feel that something was going to happen, and first wompn and children and then strong men began hunting the shelter of caves and tornado cellars. At 5.30 p. m. the clouds formed into a lunnei-snapea mass anu uexnu uoanDguuwu upon the city. Five minutes later the awful roar was heard, and at 5.50 o'clock the storm leaped upon the cltv, enveloped, it in blackness and all svas chaos. Inside of three mlnutas the entlrs town was a mass of reins and ten minutes later the wind had pissed on. The town's business portion lay north and south along four nquares of Manvel avenue, and in all its business area bat two buildings were left Intact, Hoffman k Charles's store and Sohlagel's saloon, which, together with a few scattering residences and the Presbyterian Church wa3 what was lsft of the prosperous city. For a short time there was a deluge of rain and a beating of hall, while above the noise arose screams of terror and groans of agony. Down the oentru of the main street was a struggling mass of wounded human beings and horses, piles of wreckage, buggies, wagons and merchandise, with ghastly dead faces here and there, a sight awful to behold. Soon the terror :>f the Are flend was added to the devastation of the storm, as flames began to leap upon the wreck of the New York store and Lincoln County Bank. Next to the bank was a little restaurant, where five people wore eating supper. The bank toppled over on It, pinning the Ave down and holding them prisoners to meet an ngonizlng death by Are. At several other poihts the flame3 burst out, and it was a hard light with Are until after midnight, many of the injured being badly burned snd several meeting death in the flamed, in addition to the five who perished in the restaurant. A large majority of the people are left homeless and penniless, with soaroely clothes to cover their baolcs, and many are already suffering. The nl?ht turned very oold and the women and ohlldren exposed to the elements suffered severely. There ure not coffins enough to bury the dead, and oarpenters are making boxes from the wreckage of the bulldinga. Never has a town been more completely wiped out, and the majority of the business men are wholly ruined.

I( the Allied Nations of Earope Blockade Volo, His Naval Base of Snpplle*, It Will Be Useless to Try to Restrain His Men?"I Will Order My Troops Forward," He Says?A)1 Athens Kxclted. Athexs, Greece (By Cable).?King George in an interview at the palace with James Creelman, the.well-known American correspondent uttered a kingly threat which brings I the Great Powers face to face witn a war that, In the belief ot many, will smash the Turkish Empire and turn central Europe Into a battlefield. CITIZEN or CBETJL "The Great Powers should take warning before it Is too late," said the King. "The Greek nation cannot endure this state of affairs much longer, and the situation will become uncontrollable. The world has never before' witnessed such a spectaole as six powerful nations, aoting in the name of Christian civilization, surrounding an island with tnelr warships and starving a nobie Christian people, whose only offence is tha^ they have fought for their liberties. While doing this the nations are feeding and up* holding their savage Turkish oppressors. "It seems almost incredible that the egoism of the Powers could lead them to outrage every principle of humanity, ignore and trample down the public sentiment of Europe and infllot slow aeath upon the brave Cretans. I cannot understand it." The lines in the King's face grew hard and his big orown eyes flashed, the veins stood out with painful distinctness-in bis temples. "It is hard to restrain the natural impulse of the Greek army to vindicate the honor of their flag and advance on the Turkish forces which threaten our northern frontier," he said. "We did not send our tor,pedo boats and troops to Crete until the Turks threatened to send more troops to subdue the , Christians in the Island, and we did not send our army,to the frontiers of Epirus and Macedonia until a large Turkish force threatened us there. "Now it Is said that the Powers are threatening to blockade Volo, the naval base of our forces in Thessaly. It would be an infamous thing to blockade Volo while the Turkish army menaces our territory. "If it is done it will be useless to attempt to hold our troops back any longer, and I will order them to go forward. My mind is made up. "There is not another people like the Greeks in the world. See bow the Greeks are coming here across seas and continents, from the most distant ends of the earth, to fight for the cause of liberty and civilization. "Those men who are marching past the palace at this moment are Greeks from remote parts of the Caucasus. There are more than 700 of them, their Greek ancestors having lived in the Caucasus for a century. "Greeks are coming from every country, and all this shows what an unconquerable spirit moves the Greek race at this moment Their national sentiment is magnificent. They are prepared to make any sacrifice, and no loss can be too great for them. ' They will fight barefooted; they will fight even without hope, and, if this oonfliot begins, the Greeks will not cease till they have achieved victory or the last fighting man has fallen." POPULACE WILD FOR WAR. Stirring; Scenes on the Departure of the Crown Prince for the Frontier. Athens, Greece (By Cable).?When it became known that the Crown Prince Constantin would leave the city in the evening for the Greek camp at Larissa, to take command of the Greek army in the Qeld. a large crowd gathered in front of Constitution Square, adjoining the palace. The square and streets adjacent were filled with an excited throng, cheering, singing patriotic songs and firing revolvers. The populace shouted "For union and war," and cheered continually for the Crown Prince and the army. The demonstration of the crowd increased during the service In the palace chapel and thousands gathered in front of the palace to dHfnuoo fhadBnnrtncAnf flonstAntin. An im meose throng, including many thousands of Cretans, assembled on the quays at Pineus, brilliantly illuminated by lime lights from houses in the vicinty, to witness the embarkation.

The consideration'of the new Tariff meas ore on ine noor 01 ine nouse miu occupmu two legislative weeks, during which a running Are of debate had enlivened the proceedings, and aroused popular interest to such an extent that when, on Wednesday, the day for placing the bill on its final passage had arrived there was nn air of intense exoitement about the chamber. Voting on the Tariff bill was not to begin until 3 o'clock p. m., but the galleries were crowded early to witness the manoeuvring leading up to the olimax of the ten days' battle. Mr. Dingley and Mr. Bailev. the opposing leaders, were in their places when Speaker Reed called the House to order at 10 o'clock. Several amendments were made to the bill, the principal one being the new section agreed upon by the Committee on Ways and Means, making the duties in the bill to take effect April L This was proposed by Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., 0.) and advocated by him in a flftoen-mlnute speech. It was opposed Htt Mwwra RichAprlsnn (Horn Tenri-V Bland (Dem., Mo.), and Bailey (Dem., Tex.). It was agreed to by a vote 130 to 120. All the other amendments were adopted Jn the gross by a vote of 174 to 128. The third reading and engrossment ot the bill were then.ordered without a division. Mr. Dookery (Dem., Mo.) moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Ways aud Mesns with instructions to report it with a provision to admit free of duty all articles controlled by a trust In the United States, and on the adoption of this motion the vote was taken by y^as and nays. This resulted: yeas, 148; nays, 196. So the motion to recommit was lost. The vote was then taken on the passage of the bill, both Mr. Dingley and Mr. Bailey demanding the yeas and nays. The vote resulted; yeas, 205; nays, 122; answering "present and not voting, 21. Just before the tally sheet was handed to him the Speaker said: "The Clerk will call my name. The Clerk?"Mr. Bead." The Speaker?"Aye." The announcement was received with slapping; of hands and ahoats on the door ana In the galleries. When this had sabaided Mr. Dlngley made the usual motion to reconsider the vote and to lay that motion on the table, whloh was agreed to, thus clinching the result At the suggestion of Mr. Dlngley a special edition of 2500 copies of the bill as passed was ordered for the use of members. The House then adjourned until Saturday at 12 o'clock. A Rath to Par Datles. New Yobk City (Special).?There was a great rush on the last day of March to pay duties at the Custom House.

They were exceeded in any one month only once beforo in the history of the Government. MANY DUNKARDS CO WEST. A Colony of Two Tboasand Five Has* dred Moves to North Dakota. Two thousand Ave hundred Dunkard colonists passed through Chicago from East era States on their way to join the Dunkard colonies already established in North Dakota. It will probably be the largest party of actual settlers ever taken West over one railroad. Pennsylvania, the State in which Dunkards are most numerous, contributes tho largest portion of colonists to this movement. Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana also assist in swelling the number. During the last two months, wherever any good-sized community of Dunkards has been found, mass meetings have been held, and letters of encouragement from brethren who have settled in North Dakota and tested its soil and climate have been read. Devil's Lake and Canao. where the principal colonies of North Dakota Dunkards are located, will be the destination of the mftiorltv of the latest settlers. New colonies will bo formed, and the arrival of over 2000 recruits will result in the buildingof several new :hurches. Fewer than 3000 Dunkaros are now in North Dakota to welcome the ne# arrivals. They are all farmers, and regarded as good farmers, at that. Most of, if not all, the families in the present movement have beer engaged in agricultural pursuits, in accordance with the canons of the Dunkard Church. There were several special trains for passengers and long rows of freight cars, carrying oarsonal effects of the settlers. Germany's Carrier-Pigeons. Germany has the astounding number of 500 carrier-pigeon clabs, with about 100,000 pigeons, all of which are at the service of the army in case of need. During the second week of March a carrier-pigeon exhibition was held at Hamburg at which 1400 pigeons were shown and many prizes awarded. Curfew in Canada. Over thirty cities and towns in Ontario, Canada, have adopted the provincial curfew law. The corporation of Ottawa has decided to apply it to that city. Children under fourteen, unaccompanied by parents or guardians, must not be in the streets after 9 p. m. Five Children Within a Year.

M Lesson Text: "The Resurrection," I V Cor. xv., 12-26?Golden Text: V Acta xl, 18?Comnien- V tary. 1 While for this week we tarn from the regular lesson in the Acts to a special resurrection lesson, the connection of thought is not broken, for in the next lesson in order (Acts xl, 19-26) the great number of believers in Antioch and elsewhere were won through the preaching of Jesus and the resurrection, and it was the power ol His resurrection that led them to send relief, every man according to his ability, to the brethren in Judaea by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. 12,13. "It there be no resulvotion of the dead, then is Christ not risen." The Sadducees taught that there is no resurrection, neither angel nor spirit (Acts xxli., 8), and everywhere the apostles seemed to find those who bated the doctrine of the resurrection (Acta iv., 2; rxvi., 8; xvit., Bat it u me great fact which crowns hII in the work ot Christ. By it He was with power declared to be the Son of God (Rom. i., 4"). and we must believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the duad (Rom. x., 9; I Thess. iv., 14). 14,15. "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith Is also vain." And all the apostles would be scored as talse witnesses for preaching what was not true. The resurrection of Christ Irom the dead is the assurance to all meu that He is indeed the Son of David, the Messiah of Israel and the Judge of all men (Acts 1L, 29-31: xvit., 31.) Aa surety for us He was d3livered for our offenses, but if He la not raised from the dead there is no justification for the sinner, for the surety remaina in prison (Bom. iv., 25). Unless Christ is alive from the dead there is no gospel to preach, no glad tidings for sinners, ana all preaohers are fools and liars. H| 16,17. "If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet In your sins." A dead Christ has no power to save or to forgive sins, and I think that is the force of the question In verse 29. Why baptize any one in BH the name of a dead Christ? Israel was baplized unto Moses as a living leader In the cloud and 1a the sea (I Cor. x., 1, 2). Oar Christ is alive from tne dead, an immortal man, the Ood man, having all power in heaven and on earth. At God's right hand He is the assurance to every believer of the forgiveness of sins, for ther^ could not be at God's right hand one on whom any sin was resting. 18. "Then they also whioh are fallen asleep in Christ are perished." If Christ Is not at God's right h&nd, alive forevermore, , then Stephen was deceived and lied when ha \ said, "I see the Son of Man standing on the > \ right haDd of God" (Acts vii., 56). Ananias 1 lied when he said to Saul. "The Lord Jesus appeared unto thee in the way as thoa earnest" CAnt9ix-. 17V and all Paul's testimony as to the dead being absent from the body and present with the Lord (II Cor. v., 8; Phil. 1., 21, 23) Is simply without foundation. 19. "It in thi9 life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." The present life of the believer Is set forth by the Holy Spirit both in the gospels and the epistles as a life of tribulation and affliction and suffering (John xvL. 33; Col. 1.. 24; I Pet. 1L, 20, 21; iv., 12, 13). a life of such , treatment from the world as Christ Himself received (John xv., 19, 21), but the sufferings are not worthy to be compared with the glory to be revealed, and we are ever to conBlder Ctrist and His sufferings leet we grow weary and faint (Bom. viii., 18; Heb. xlL, 3j John xiv., 1). 20. "But now is Christ risen from the dead | and become the first fruits of them that slept." In verses 5 to 8 Paul mentions six different appearances of Christ after HI* resurrection, and there are at least fiye * others recorded. Thus He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs (Acts L, 3), speaking much of the kingdom during those forty days between His resurrection and visible ascension, the kingdom which is associated with the reeur> rectionof the saints at the second coming of I Christ (verses 50-54; Isa. xxv., 8, 9; Dan. xil., j 1,2; Acts ill., 20, 21; Math, xxv., 31, 32)/ * 21, 22. "For since by man came death, by '> man came also the resurrection of the dead, >?v for as in Adam alt die, even so in Christ f-hall all be made alive." In verse 45 Adam and Christ are spoken of as the first Adam and the last Adam. The first brought sin and death upon the race, but the last has brought lire ana resurrection ior an wao will accept Him. All are of necessity in Adam, the one man ty whom sin entered the world (Rom. v., 12, 18, 19), all who accept Chritt are in Christ and enjoy the benefits of His righteousness, which are snfflcient for all who will accept Him and "whosoever will may (Rev. xxil., 17). 23. "But every man In his own order. Chri9t the first fruit9, afterward they that are Christ's at His coming." In Col. L, 18, and Rev. 1., 5, Christ is called the firstborn or first begotten from tho dead, for by virtue of His resurrection all resumptions have taken place or will take place. Both just and | unjust shali rise from their graves (Acta | xxlv., 15), but there 9hall be an interval of J 1000 year* between them. Rev. xx., 5, 6, is very plain upon this. 24. "Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father." "The afterward" of the previous verse was already covered over 1800 years since Christ rose from the dead. The "then" of this verse will cover the thousand years of the millennium, after whioh will come the newheavensand earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, when God shall be all in all (verses 28. 29; II Pet. ill., 18). In| asmuch as "He is able to ?ub>lue all things unto Himself" (Phii. HI.. 21) and will eventually, why not trust Him even now to subdue us fully unto Himself and make us wholly new creatures to His glory? (Rev. xxl., 5.) 25. 26. "For He must reign till he hath ' ?1 -11 ??:?i- U<o faiit- Tha laof . * I put ail eufiinca uuuui uu twv. *?? enemy that shail be destroyed is death." When He thus reigns and subdues, we are to reign with Him (Rev. v., 10; xx.: 4, 6). See also Ps. cxlix. He is now at the Father s right hand on the Father's throne waiting for tne completion of His body, the church, but after that He will sit on His own throne to judge the nations and to rule the world in righteousness. (Math, xxxv., 31; Acts xvii.,31). Then shall we be m;inifested with Him (Col. Hi., 4; I John 111., 2; also Rev. iii., 21.) So a time will come when on this earth there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall """" there be any more pain (R^v. xxi., 4). Oh. let me know the power of Thy resurrection! Ob, let me show Thy risen life in calm and clear reflection! Oh, let me soar where Thou, my Saviour, Christ, art gone before! In mind and heart let me dwell always only where Thou art. ?I>s?nn Helper. DIED OF VEGETARIANISM. President of Chicago's Vegetarian Society. Needed Flesh Food. Charles H. Sorley, President of the Chicago Vegetarian Society and a lecturer and writer on vegetarianism, died a few days ago at St. Luke's Hospital. His son, J. A. Sorley, and many of his friends say his death was indirectly due to lack of flesh food, and Dr. T. J. Knudson, attending physician at St. Luke's, inclines to the same opinion. "My father was not opposed to other persons eating meat," explained J. A. Sorley. but could not bear to hav? anim:ils killed to supply him with food. Ten years ago he became a vegetarian, nndsince has abstained rigidly from all animal food, with ths exception of milk and es*?rs. "At the beginning of his illness, six months ago, I became convinced that his health was failing because of his adherence to a vegetable diet. Not until a week, however, could he be induced to eat meat. Then he rallied for a few days, but his condition w;is already hopeless. "Members of the Vegetarian Society visited my father continually during his illness, unlit I refused to allow them to see him, us I 1 had no confidence in the vegetal drugs which f they insisted on his ti kimr." 1 t-iglitlni; Bucket ."hops.
