We are glad to learn that the subscrip tions to the boucla for the development of Portman Shoals has reached the sum of (50,000 asked of our citizens, and the officers of the Power Company will soon go North to raise the balance of $76,000 needed. The officers of the Power Com pany are not only greatly encouraged but 7ery much gratified hy the result. Oar people have done well, and to those gentlemen who had in charge the can vassing for subscriptions too much credit cannot be given. The subscriptions raised to theso bonds here shows what can be done when we put our shoulders to the wheel and unite our efforts. It ia only in thia way can we keep pace with tho times and build np our city to. the position she should occupy, But let na not think the work ia done. There yet remains $75,000 to be raised, and in the present condition of the money market tbiB Ia by no meana an easy or certain task; and although the dtlcens have sub scribed all that bas been asked of them, there axe no donbt these who could aub ecribc who have not yet done BO, and to them the way ia still open to help along Ibo enterprise with their names and money. There are those here, too, who have influential connections and friends ehroad, a word to whom might be of j great servie? in obtaining substantial aid. All agree that thia enterprise is the greatest opportunity we have ever had. It should, therefore, behoove every citi zen to keep at work until the enterprise rassured beyond question. If yon have iubscribed, do not conclude you-have r done all your duty. If yon can induce ?other subscriber, either frum friends >me or abroad, go to work to do it. enterprise is one in which every eiti "zea has a direct personal interest, whether he has a dollar invested in it or not, and let us all work for lt and talk for it until ibo wheels of the mill are turning. We have made a good beginning, end now kt us keep on until there ia no donbt ot success. There isno town or city in South Carolina that can equal Anderson, in proportion to her size and population, in her business relations, and our future growth and development rests on the bhou'.ders of our people. Backed by the banner County of the State, this dty can be made a second Atlanta, but it will re quire work and money. If we not help in these matters ourselves, we need not expect outside capitalists to come to our assistance. Again we urge all our people o put tbeir shoulders to the wheel and keep our city and County in the front line of the procession. Prom the Calumbia State of yesterday wo get the information that the purchasers of the Port Royal and Western Carolina and the Augusta and Knoxville railroads are now organizing their new company, and propose to develop the valuable property,-they havo purchased. The company is to have a capital stock of nearly a million and a half dollars and should make the property a paying one. Particularly ts this likely in view of the proposed new road to Charleston,-the prospectos of which has been published. These roads were purchased by Samuel Thoma*? -and Thomas P. Ryan of New York city, on Nov. 20 last under a decree of the United States Court. They have now associated with them other gentle men and the following compose the board of corporators of the new railroad company : Samuel Thomas of New York dty; Thomas P. Ryan of New York city ; Henry Crawford of Chicago, UL ; John^B. Clevdand of Spartanburg; J. O. C. Fleming of Laurens ; D. A. P. Jor dan of .Greenwood ; J. A. Brock of An derson ; Avery Patton of Greenville and J. P. Doughty of Augusta, Ga. The new road is to be known as the Charleston and Western Carolins Railway, and is given the right to extend its present lines and build branch linea. The capital stock is to be $1,200.000, divided into 12,000 shares. ^ According to the New York Tribune the Lee family, of "Virginia, has had no representative in the Federal Army for more than thirty-four years. The suc -cgiisiqnjn this service is now to be re newedlbr the person of George Mason Lee, the nineteen-year-old son of Gener al Fitzhugh Lee, the Confederate cavalry commander. This young aspirant for military honors will enter West Point Military Academy. Young Lee has al ready spent two and a half years at the Virginia Military Institute, at Lexing ton. Por more than 160 years the Lees have occupied prominent places in the military history of the colony of Virginia or the United States Government. Congress ndjourned last week, and the entire work of the session has been of no benefit to the people. It has not only ap propriated more money outright for ordi nary expenditure for the next fiscal year than was ever appropriated by any of its predecessors, but it has mortgaged the fature revenues to the extent of $90,000, 000, for work to be contracted for, which is to be paid for ont of the revenues ot coming years. The total of expenditure will be $610,000,000. This is a stupendous iuun,v Speaking of cotton manufacturing In the South, E. H. Edmonds, editor of the -Manufacturers' Record, says; "It would require in the Sooth an investment of Over $1,000,000,000 of capital to build and equip mills enough to consume all thc cotton the South now raises, and if the South could manufacture at home SH the cotton which its cotton fields turn ont, the product would be worth to this sec tion about $1,200,000,000 a year, instead of ] selling for sn average of $300,000,000 a year, as it now does." Tennessee's great Exposition which will be held at Nashville in comm?mora tion of the one hundredth anniversary of the State's admission to the Union will bo opened on May 1,1S97, and continues to October 31st, 1697. It will be State, Na tional and International ir. character The strong features of the Exposition proper will come from every part of the world. Tennessee will properly show her resources and illustrate her history. The Register of yesterday says that M. JU. Donaldson and Judge J. H. Earle, of Greenville, will enter the race for Irby's seat in the Senate. Mr. Donaldson has formally announced himself in the race. % Two of Judge Earle's friends are said to have visited Senator Irby at Laurens . in reference to his candidacy, and it comes from them that Judge Earle will enter the race._ ^ _ Some of tho papers are now talking about the diamonds owned by the wealthy women. That's all right. They represent so much money expended paid to labor and artisans-lapidaries, if yon Uko that better, money in circula tion. We think it much better for them to hold their wealth in diamonds than to have tho same amount in boarded money -better for the people. The Georgia Cracker puts it this way : "We hope the victorious ratio will ex tend to the newspaper onhscrlbers, slxr fpen Who pay to one who does not," The Georgia watermelon crop is short this year, and tho melons are bringing fancy prices in the northern markets. - i- . - South Carolina's Military Companies are to be fquipped with new uniforms. The government appropriates about $7, 000 to the State and the money will be used for the purchase of regulation Uni ted States army uniforms. The "Lily Whites" bave been knocked out at St. Louis and the Webster Repub licans are on top. The contest was taken Up Saturday, and after a full hearing it was decided by the Committee to admit the Webster faction. Lawson Melton, of Columbia, ls the leader of the "Lily Whites." It was claimed that his party was opposed to McKinley. The Seaboard Air Line, through its general superintendent, Capt. V. E. Mc Bee, has given out a statement defending itself from the charges of padding the mail to defraud the government. It is admitted that extra public documents and advertising matter were carried dur ing the weighing season, but that no law is violated thereby. Bates on Bond Issues. Columbia State, June 13. Yes'erday was the day on which Gov ernor Evan? said be and State Treasurer Bates would make a statement in regard to the bond matter. When Dr. Bates ?as asked about the bond matter \ esterday be gave the statement be ow referring strictly to his own connection with it and accounting for the disposition of a little over $2,000 of the connussions about which there ls so much talk. Dr. Bates' statement is as follows-: "Yes, It is true that I received from the syndicate the sum of $2,031.25. This was for acting as their representative in mak ing settlements with their subscribers, collecting and remitting tbeir premiums and attending to their expense account. "Por instance, th? re were subscribers in ( barleaton for $2,000 000 of the new is sue which the syndicate bad contracted to deliver in Charleston. These were to :.e paid for moBtly in Brown consols, bnt the holders of the consols naturally would require the syndicate to deliver to them tb* new issue of bonds before they woold part with the possession of their consols. " Two courses were therefore open io the syndicate. * One was to pay the Stute treasurer $2,000 000 in cash, receive the new bonds, and tben exchange them With the Charleston subscribers. The other was to secure some representative here in Columbia whom the Charla-ton bond holders were willing to entrust with their bond? and exchange them for bonds of the new issue. I suggested to the syn dicate the employment of a i'ol um bia banker ss tbeir representative, but they preferred that I should do the work, and at the urgent request of the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Company, the agent of the syndicate, on or about the 2lst of March, 1893,1 consented to act for them, aa the bondholders of Charleston and elsewhere were willing to place their bonds in my hands for exchange. ''The public will understand that there is a vast difference between: First, my accepting money as a consideration for making a contract for the sale of State bonds, and secondly, my accepting com pensation tendered by the syndicate for extra services as tbeir representative long arter the contract bad been made. The first would have been offered, of course, and accepted prior to tbe contract, and would have deserved Revere criticism. The second was tendered long after thy .ontract bad been m adp, and was for ex tra services that I could not have been expected or required to renderasState treasurer. The work necessitated the keeping of a special, difficult and exten sive account, and involved much respon sibility and trouble. A good portion of the amount received went to pay tor extra shid special dei leal work. "I am sure a reasonable public will agree that the work I did was unofficial, and did not conflict with my duties aa State Treasurer. Nor will I be expected to renaer responsible and vaioab'e servi ces for a syndicate of wealthy capitalists without some reasonable compensation, especially aa that compensation was not paid by the State. Outside of the 92,031.25 I did not receive one cent from the syn dicate or any one else on account of my ..onnection with the refunding of the bonds. "W. T. C. BATES, State Treasurer." He Hld the Body. PIEDMONT, S. C., June 13 -Our town bas been in a state of excitement during the last two days over the mysterious dlaappearanoe of Frank Griffin, tbe 14 year-old son of Samuel Griffin, of this place, who has vanished, as it were, un der very suspicions circumstances. He was employed in tho mill on the Green ville side, and went to bis work as usual last Saturday morning; went to his din ner and returned to his work, and has not been seen since bv his parents. The mills shut down at 3:45 p. m. every Sat urday, and when Frank failed to return home promptly his mother began to be* nnxions about ber son, who, she said, never failed to return home, bathe and put on clean garments every Saturday evening after bis week's work was finish ed. . ! Little Frank, who was a slender yonth with fair skin, blue eyes and light bair, wore wb6n last seen a dark checked coat and pants, a striped shirt laded nearly white ada k gray cap and was barefoot. He was Inst seen by some parties wbo were hnnting and fishing ab ut a mile 'rom town up the river late Saturday evening? He was with Austin Sam mons, a young man about 18 years of age, who bas been employed several months a<* a weaver in the mills of this place When 1 it became known that be and Sam mons were together wfcen last Been and that Gammons had a don ble-barrel shotgun, some began to suspect that Frank had been the viotim of foul play at the hands of Sam mons, but a gentleman came down from Greenville on Monday and stated that a lad had peen seen around the depot there, and the description given or bim and the conversation that pa-sed between them, led some of onr people to believe, or rather hope, that he was the missing bo?. Telegraph and telephone messages fail ed to find out anything more about bim. and to satisfy himself and wife. Samuel Griffin, the father of the missing boy, went to Greenville, Wednesday, and after ?pending the day searching for bim, re turned fully satisfied that the boy seen ?bout tbe depot waa not hie eoe. After he returned messages were sent to different places in the surrounding country, but ail of them failed to give any inf rmation concerning the boy's where abouts. i hursday a young man of this place made it known that Sammons bad told him confidentially that he had shot the boy twice once in the eyes and facejand once in the side of the bead-and bad dumped the body int.? the river. The parties who were bunting and fishing stated that they heard two shots in quick ?accession np Ihe river from them a short time after the two boys bad been seen going in that direction. With this evidence to start on a large party was organized, hooks and rakes were made,-and several boats loaded with men went up the river to where it is sup posed the body was thrown. They all worked bard until late in the afternoon, dynamite being used freely in the deepest p aces, the flood gates of the dam were raised and most of the water drawn off, but all efforts to recover the body up to 8 o'clock last night failed, and the search was abandoned, but will be taken up again to-day. Excitement ran high yesterday, and when the bunt for tbe body commenced tbe authorities here thought best to have Sammons arrested and placed ic jail for if the body was recovered and be was not out of reach a lyuchlng would verv likely take place. Two men accompanied bim to Greenville jail yesterday, where be ?vi'l remain until the case is mlly inves tigated Several hundred people gathered along the river bauks while the search wa? going ou in tbe evening. THE BODY FOUND. GREENVILLE, June 13.-TbiH evening the body of Frank Griffin, the missing Piedmont boy, was found in the river, two miles above the mill. The body was mncb de< om posed, having been in the river since la>t Saturday. The bead was filled witb buckshot. The body was brought to Piedmont and an inquest held by Coroner Meeks. After hearing the evidence the lu ry returned a verdict that tbe deceased carno to bia deatb by gun shot wounds at the bands of Oscar Sam mons- Sammons was visited in jail by a reporter to-night. Ile was stupefied when told of the verdict. He bas no at torney, but seems to understand that he had better not talk. A strange story is told that the body waB discovered through a hypnotio subject. Special to Columbia State. - It takes a boy seven or eight yean to learn the multiplication table, but be can learn to ride a bicycle in an hour and a half. ?*.?;. Donaldson*. Irby and Evans for United States Senator? COLUMBIA, June 14.-The announce ment that Col. M. L. Donaldeon, of Greenville, baa entered the Senatorial race was not altogether unexpected. Bis friends have been talking about entering bis name for some time pest, and at the meeting of tbe State executive committee, 77htin the bolting question was taken up, he was opposed to the idea of bolting, and the suggestion was then made that be enter the senatorial race. Mr. Donaldson waa one of the original candidates for the pl Bise now fried by Senator Irby, and in 18U0 received Alliance support for the Senatorial election. This places in the field three active candidates, Governor EveuH, Senator Irby and Col. Donaldson. I here is newspaper talk to the effect that Col, Kel?, of Newberry, will make the race and there is not yet an end to the talk of Congressman McLaurin entering the race. Col. Donaldson Is hardly likely to have the support or even the encouragement of Senator Tillman. In May, 1893, there was a spirited open correspondence between Senator Tillman and Mr. Donaldson about the blacklisting of Mr. Donaldson by Governor Tillman. In Mr. Donaldson's letter he says : "Perhaps Governor Till man bas yet to learn that to stab a man's character, whether openly, as Joab did Amasa's person, or under cover of sup posed secrecy in a blacklist to the Presi der^, means death to the victim." lu that letter Col. Donaldson said : "As tu the Reform movement I am ready to compare records with him as to loyalty, consistency aud length of service In the Alliance cause, with which I have been identified from its infancy in this State. ? have worked In its almost every depart ment, if there ls a brother in the Order who is willing to charge me with the be trayal of a trust or treachery to the brotherhood, I sm prepared to answer for mi stewardship," etc., etc. AU of the candidates in the field thus far are Reformers, and they are likely to have a lively scrimmage among thorn ie] rea for this, the biggest of all plums. Governor Evans was expected to return to tbe city this afternoon from his busi ness trip to new York, but it was Btated that be would not be in Columbia bo Tore Thursday as he would go to Kock Hill before coming here. He is expected to be in Rock Hill on Tuesday. The candidates for State offices are very slow in coming out. The list of aspirants as far as is known with any degree of possibility seems to be: For Governor-W. H. Ellerbe, John R. Harrison. J. W. Whitman and A. Howard Patterson Lieutenant Governor-M. B. Mcsweeney and M R. Cooper. Secretary of State-D. H. Tompkins. Comptroller Genend-James Norton. State Treasurer-W. H. Timmerman. Attorney General-W. A. Barber. adjutant aud Inspector General-J. G. Watts and R. N. Ricbbourg. Superintendent nf Education-W. D. Manfield and T. C. Robinson. Railroad Commissioner-J. C. Wllboro and J. A. Sligh. Only fer or five of these have filed their pledges aa required by law. A Tornado in Alabama. MONTGOMERY, ALA., June 9.-The pretty little town of Wyeth City, in Mar shall County, on the Tennessee River and some thirty miles west of Gadsden, with a population of some three hundred souls, was completely wrecked at ll o'clock this morning by a tornado. Early in the morning a dark and threat ening cloud came up in the southwest, with considerable wind, and all of a sud den the wind made a swoop almost com pletely demolishing it. Eighteen dwell icg houses were completely destroyed, fire being swept completely away, and not a stick of the tim ber left. Tbe toma do lasted fully five minutes and then pissed in a northeasterly direction. Trees as large as a man's waist were taken down like weeds, After the storm the work of rescuing was commenced. At this writing it is knowe that fifteen ave wounded and six of them fatally. Mrs. Rioketts and a man named Bunby were badly hort ard will die. Mrs. Clarke, Rd rs. Brown and several children will probably die. A ten-year-old boy found half a mlle away was found in a dying condition. Others are badly wounded. Tbs path of the tornado waa about one hundred yards wide and is marked by total devastation. Had the storm struck an hour later fully fifty people would have been killed or wound ed, aa at that time the operators of the basket factory would have been at dinner. Fortunately both factories escaped The scene of the storm is a desolate one. The work of rescuing goes bravely on. and every few hours a fre>b victim is found. The cloud had the regular funnel shape, and when it struck tbe town there was a loud report as of a cannon, and soon the air was full of flying timbers, trees, houses, animals, etc. Several persons are missing, and it is probable that they will be found dead. A meeting of citi zens held at Guntersvllle raised several hundred dollars for the Bufferers Fully one hundred people are acting as a relief corps. Ed Long and an unknown wo man were killed by lightning. A Good Law For Good Roads, COLUMBIA, June ll.-There are now about 200 lees convicts in the State Pen itentiary than there were at the same time last year. The censu? on tbe Int nf June Bhowed an attendance nf 916, which is 200 less than for June, 1-35. Superin tendent Neal, in talking about the mat tor to-day, said that the decrease in the population at the State prison was due to the county chain gang system The chance* are that there will be a still fur ther reduction in the prison population, as the system extends, ind aa the old timers at the Penitentiary die off or are pardoned or terms expire. Superintend ent Neal said to-day that the only coun ties he recalled in whiob there were no chain gang? were Beaufort, rJorry, Ches terfield, Williamsburg and Charleston, The Penitentiary is now shipping stripes and other paraphernalia for the equip ment of the chain gang that ia to be intro duced in Lexington County. The re turns are that there are about thirty coun ties with chain gangs, and they will aver age twenty men to tho coun tv," which will give a force of 600 men at work on the roads of tho counties. A number of counties have invested in road building machtnery which they would not have bought in a decade had lt not been for the necessity of supplying tbe waiting chain gang with machinery that would make their work most effective. In corar of the counties the county commissioners have gone to work systematically on the roads, and are having the matu roads ma cadamized. It ?ill be Been that tbe population of the Penitentiary is liable to a gradual failing off, not on account of crime becom ing less frequent, but because the chale icings get tho beni fit of the services of mil convicts whose terms arefortwo years or less. The experiences of the count?ps vary aa to the cost of the chain gang system, but the general experience has been that the chain gang By stem can be used to advan tage and much cheaper than the old Sys tem where proper management ls afford ed.- News and Courier. Dispensary or License. WASHINGTON, June 14.- Governor John Gary Evaui and Attorney General Barber are here on a mysterious mission. It ls understood that the Governor ?B well assured by Senator Tillman that he will be the successor of Senator Irby, and, with visions of six years in the Sen ate before bim, he contemplates matrimo ny. When the Governor last visited Washington he stated that he boped to be married during tbe month of June, and it is possible that his present visit is in connection with his approaching marri age, or it may be to find out if Judge Si mon ton's injunction may be disregarded without too great risk.-News and Cou rier. Christened in Blood. RALEIGH, N. C., June 14.-To-day the first vestibule pesaenuer trains over the Southern Kailway's new route between Chattanooga and Norfolk passed bete.

He was picked up by a passing tug and taken to the foot of Ea?t Twenty sixth street. There be was placed under arrest on the charge of attempting to com mit suicide. The only injury he sustain ed was a Blight sprain of the riebt leg, which is thought to have been caused by striking against one of tho pabjes of the bridge as he jumped over. * ' Court of General Sessions. The Court of General Sessions for Ander son County convened Monday, with Judge D. W. Townsend, of the Seventh Circuit, presiding. Solicitor Ansell Stenographer Ai I; eu and other officers were all at their post of duty. Atter the nsual p'elirnina rie* in organizing the Court, his Honor deliver?d the following obargeto the Grand Jurv: Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: I think it hardly necessary to detitiu >ou with an elaborate charge as to Tour duties. We have already lost some time by the call of the long list of witnesses to\appear before y ou, and I believe that from the rep irt of ynnr proceedings to the last Court tbat you ?re well Instructed and will not require from me more in detail a re view of that ohligntiou inoombent on you as ?he ' Grand Ioquest of the County." Toe Solicitor bas many bills to bring be fore you, and to inqaire into these will form a part, but only a part, of your du ties. There are other duties, a* Grand Jurors, equally as imoortant. which you would be recreant to your obligations SB good citizens, having at heart the best in- j tereat nf yo?r County, were you to neg lect.

Gentlemen, you are the .'Grand Inquest" to inquire into all abuses, and guard well the interest?, the weal and the happiness of your people.

I em aware that the terms, Grand In <7?cs?,are,to some,higb-Boundim;words,but it is not too bigb-souuoing words, save on ly to those who treat lightly the obligations resting upon you. If for a moment you think how many helpless women and children are dependent upon you, you will consider it a grand prerogative for you to exact justice which the law requires at vour henrie and the full meaning of these te: ma. You have, as Grand Jurors, a power that no one, not even the Governor of the State, has. Allow me to assure yon that it is the certainty of the punish ment of crime which deters the violation of tho law, and not merely the eeverlty of the punishment It the criminal under stands that be cannot escape the punish ment of his crime there will be lesa of lt to consume the time of the good citizen in ibe vindication of the law. You remember your solemn oath to discharge your duty without fear, favor or ?Section.

The Tornado Panic The most dreadful tornado month in th? hlBtory of civilization.in America bas just ended, leaving behind it a twisted and distorted track of death and deso?a ti. m. A dozeu States have felt the grip of the Storm Fiend and have been made ac quainted, with his awful power. As was proven by the almost instantaneous dis persion of the Decoration gatherings In several px rta of Iowa, Illinois and Kati na? a week ago, all that is now necessary to disband the largest crowds ia for the Storm King or one nf bis minions to rear bia head above the horizon. If this de monstration on the part of the elements be accompanied by but a single bril liant lightning flash and an ominous roar of the Thunder God the panic ls complete. The facts in the case are that people are learning to shrink from the gyrating terror aa they would from a pestilent. And it is well enongh that they have been euch apt scholars during the past short and terrible month of tutoring. Since the North Texas disaster, upwards of a thousand mounds have been erecteo in the Mississippi Valley over mangled human forms as monuments to the htorm King's fury. In the light of this woeful truth, ie it to be wondered that the peo ple of the afflicted regions are ready to burry to their cyclone caves at the first sign of danger? Men shrink from such things, not because they are cowards and fear death, but because such a d??tb aa the cyclone brings is the King of Terrors in his most hideous and appalling garb. Men who have faced death scores ot times on the !battie?eld tremble and turn pale when brought face to face with the mys terious workings of nature as exhibited in a storm clo id. ''Io the face of na ture's awful and unexpected wrath iron nerves ??row weak and cool heads fran tic." The Deople know only too well of the Storm icing's doings in the distant and in the irecunt past to attempt to brave the dangeirs of such blasts without at? much as making an effort to find a place of safety. Thar, they do make such efforts to save'their live* does not show coward ice. Bather it shows g lod judgment, even th ugh it be of that species which has been acquired not by the experience of them sel vea but by the awful and cost ly experience of others.-?St. Louis lie public.

Arie owns a saloon in that town operated mader the mulct law, which forbids sa loons within three hundred feet of any church or school. Lately the erection of a Methodist Episcopal Church has been commenced within three hundred feet of the saloon, and Arie clalmu that either the saloon or church must be outside tbat limit. As the saloon was there first, the claim is mnde that the same law tbat prescribes the rule for the saloon operntes as a bar to a Church being erected within saloon territory, and threatens injunction proceedings. The Courts will settle the matter in some shape, either through the proposed injunction or proceeding to olosu tbs saloon after the Cburcb ls built. rr-V-r- ? ? -?-? i;- ?>*...: - Twenty-two yean ago, says the New York Recorder, Edison's friends urged him to marry, hoping that domestic life would compel bim to eat at .least one meal a day and sleep with some regard to regularity. Edison said be had no time to court, bnt if Rome decent girl wanted to marry bim be bad no objection?. One day, while watching a young woman wbo was working one of his instruments and to whom he never before bad spoken, be asked her, somewhat anxiously, if she would be bis wife. She said yes. and in three days they were married, though he came near forgetting the hour of the cere mony, being busy on a complex machine. Walter P. Phillips bas been quoted as telling this story of Edison : One night a friend of the Inventor found him in his Newark laboratory and went in, saying: "Aren'tyou going home, Tom? It'alate." ..How late?" said Edison yawning. "About 1 o'clock," returned his friend. "Ia that so?" exclaimed Edison. "By George, I must go home ; I was married this morning." - Though May is commonly a month of mild conditions the present year bas f> r o v ed a notable exception. Ne ver before n the history of American disasters has a single month been productive of such widespread destitution. The tornado at St. Louis laet Wednesday was only the culmination of a long series of cyclonic disturbances. For two weeks prior to that scourage cyclones bad been reported from various States in the Union, rang ing from Texas to Michigan. Beginning at Sherman, Tex., on the 16th day of May. 120 persons were killed by acyclone. Two days later thirty-three were killed by BtormB in Kentucky and Kansas^ and the next day forty-four met death in Ne braska. M av 21ot ten were killed in Oklahoma; May 22'i, Ave in Missouri, and May 24tb the wind caused death to iorty In Iowa. The next dav eighty lives were lost by cyclones in Mloblgan and Oklahoma, and on May 26th eleven were killed by a storm at Cairo. . - The Rev. Dr. Frank Crain, of Chicago, cayo : "That cyclones are a visitation of punishment upon the wicked is repulsive to reason and to the Scriptures. While in the tempera! economy of the Old Testament earthly success was made a reward for righteousness, Jesus plainly showed a higher law. Trouble, calamitv and sorrow come upon the good. No man had a harder life or more shameful death than the best Man tbat ever lived. 'Whom He lovetb He cbastenetb.' Ma terial disaster may be as surely a sign of God's corrective love and care as ot'His punitive wrath. Remember the parable of tho tared and wheat and the incident of Christ's bealing the mao born blind. Let the stricken remember Job, and like him resist the arguments of kuowalls who claim that God is angry with them ; like bim alan sav : 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust'Him.'
