Nugent, lour miles northeast ol Ureenville Mississippi, Miss William Brady and wife, colored, were in their cabin, which was blown down, killing the woman instantly. Her husband was blown several hundred feet and received seri ous, if not fatal injuries. The srin house and tenement houses on the Nu gent place were all blown down and large trees were twisted irom their stumps and carried away.

REED HITS "EM HARD.

WILSON BILL DISSECTED BY THE EX-SPEAKER. IHnoanced as a Rnlnons Measure Merely a Temporary Expedient of Free Trade Admeates Wages Must Infallibly Fall if It Becomes Law. I3ea for Protection. Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed closed the tariff debate on the Republican side with one of the most eloquent speeeaes ana t orcein i argument delivered in the remarkable discussion. Mr. Reed's speech was of great length, requiring an hour and a half for delivery, and aroused intense enthusiasm among his hearers. He 9poko in part as follows: In this debate, which has extended over so many weeks, one remarkable result has already been reached a result of tho deepest Importance to this country. That result is that the bill before us is odious to both sides of the House. It meets with favor nowhere and commands the respect of neither party. On this side we believe that, while it pretends to be for protection, it does not offer it and on the other side they belWe that, while It looks toward free trade, it does not accomplish it Those who will vote against this bill will do so because It opens our markets to the destructive competition of foreigners, and those who vote for It do it with a reservation that they will instantly devote them selves to a new crusade against whatever Darners are left. Whatever speeches have been made in defense of the bill on the other side, whether by gentlemen who were responsible

HON". THOMAS B. REED,

only to their own constituencies or by the gentleman from west Virginia, . no ought to bava been steadied by his sense of re sponsibility to the whole country, have one and all, with but rare exceptions. placed tneir authors uncompromisingly, except for temporary purposes, on tbe side of unrestricted free trade. Is a Measure of Uncertainty. It is evident that there is no ground for that hope entertained by so many moderate men that this bill, bad as It is, could be a resting-place where our manufacturing and productive industries, snch as may survive, can re-establish themselves and have a sure foundation for the future, free from party bickering and party alrife Hence, also, there can be nc foundation for that cry, so Insidiously raised, that this bill should be passed at once, -because tincertainty is worse than any bill can possibly be. Were this bill to pass both branches to-day, uncertainty would reign just the same. Bo utterly undisputed and so distinctly visible to every human being In this audience bas been our growth and progress that whatever the future Industrial system of this country may be, tbe past system is a splendid monument to that series of successful statesmen who found the country bankrupt and distracted and left it flrst on tbe list ot nations. Mr. Beed here quoted at length from English authorities showing the strength of their confidence in the jrosperity of this country, and continued: These quotations also are reminders for you, Mr. Speaker, and all who hear me know that the American who has been long enough here to know bis opportunities has found the best place for wages in the world. is there any example in tbe history of the world of any nation situated like ours who has taken the step to which we are Invited? Some gentlemen, perhaps, are hastening to say that England affords ns the needed example; that we have but to turn to ber history and find all that "e need by way of examples, Just as In Hie statements of her political economists we shall find all that Is necessary for advice, for guidance and instruction. Mr. Fpeaker. I have looked there, and I am amazed how little the example of England can teach. Why Men Become Fret Traders. After quoting statistics to show tbe great rise in wages since 1660. Mr. Beed continued: The truth Is that this very question of rising wages is what makes a good many free-traders, People with fixed incomes think that anything which raises wages Is inimical to tbem, and manufacturers who have foreign markets are naturally anxious to have wages on the foreign standard, I confess 1o yon that this question of wages Is to me tbe vital question. To insure our growth In civilization and wealth we must not only have wages as high as they are now, but constantly and steadily Increasing. This desire of mine for constantly increasing wages does not have its origin In love for the Individual, but In love for the nation. Mr. Beed eulogized tbe American market as being the best in the world, owing to the high wages paid here, enabling workingmen to purchase largely of the comforts of life. "Instead of increasing this market," he said, by leaving it to the steady Increase of wages which the figures of the Aldrlch report so conclusively show, and which have received the sanction ot tbe members from New York, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Democratic Bureau of Statistics, oar committee proposes to lower wages and so lessen the market, and then divide that market with somebody else, and all on tbe chance of getting the markets ot the world. Wages Mnst Be Reduced. To add to the Interesting Impossibilities of this contention the orators on the other aide say they are going to maintain wages. Bow can that be possible? All things sell at the cost of production. If the difference between cost of production here sad cost of production In England be not equalized by the duty, then our cost of production must no down or we must go out Our laws have invited money and men and we have grown great and rich thereby. The gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Black) has noticed that men come here, and he does not want them to come: hence he Is willing that our wages shall be lowered to keep people away. Well, this is not the time to discuss immigration: but while people are coming 1 am glad tbey have not yet imbibed thegenticman's Ideas and have not yet begun to clamor for lower wage To sum It up. If this rro'ectlna gives us money and men, and our vast countvy needs both, it may show why we have so wonderfully prospered. If it does I am Inclined to think that the way to ha ve two jobs bunting one man Is lo keep on making new mills and try to prevent the Committee on Ways and Means from pulling down the old ones, But what do you say about the farmer? Well, on that subject I do not profess any special learning, but there is one simple statement I wish to make, and leave the question there. If, with cities growing up like magic, manufacturing villages dotting every eligible site, each and all vanning with mouths to be ftUed, the pro-

ducers of food are worse off than when

half this country was n deseri, I abandon sense in favor of political economy. Gives Simpson n Sly Dig. One other thing I have noticed in this debate, whon the gentlemun from Kansas (Mr. Simpson) nets a little money ahead ho ones not pu t It .in 1 o si nek s In those Immensely profitable manufactories: he has too much sense. He adds to his fnrm, and has told us bo. Example is richer than pre cent If the hope of agriculturists Is In Eu gllsh free trade thny luul better pouder on the fact that wliilo the v aces of artisans have Increased In England $2.43 per week slnco Ir.vi, the wnires of agricultural la borers have only increased 72 cents, and while the Lancashire operatives In the factories live as well as anylolv. evcent Americans, the agricultural laborers are hardly Better off Hum the continental peasantry. England's example will not do ror agriculture. Here let me meet one other question and let me meet It fairly. We are charged with having claimed that the tariff alone will raise wages. We have never made such a claim In any form. Free-traders have set up that claim for us in order lo triumphantly knock it over, w hat we no ay Is that where two nations have enual skill and equal appliances and a market ne&rlv Anuai. nnri aia nf llipm enn lilrn labor at one-half less, nothing but a larlf? can maintain tbe higher wages, and that we can prove. Wo are the only rival that England fears, for we alone have in our borders the population and the wages, the raw ma terlal, and within ourselves the great market which Insures to us the most Im proved machinery. Our constant power to Increase our wages insures u? also con tinuous progress. If yui wish vu to follow the example of England. I sy yes. with all my heart, but her real example and nothing else. Let us keen protection, as she did, until no rival dares to Invade cur territory, and then we may take our chances for a future which by that time win not De unknown. A Day of Ictory Is Coming, Nobody knows so w?ll as I do how much I have failed to present of oven my own comprehension of the great argument which should control this vote. I have said not a word of the great fall ol prices which has always come freni the competition of the whole world rendered possible by protection and substituted for the competition of a single Island. 1 have said not a word of tbe ureal difference between the attitude of employers who find their own workmen tbelr best customers in thelrown land, and who are, therefore, moved by tbelr own best interests to give their workmen fair wages, and thosa who sell abroad and are therefore anxious for low wages at home, r.nd on whom works unrestrictedly that lernlclous doctrine, as wages fall profits rise. These and much more have I omitted, for there is a limit to all speaking. We know, my frlenfls, that before this tribunal we nil of us plead In valu. Why we fall let. these nricr who read the touching words of Ahrohnm Lincoln's flrst Inaugural and remember that he pleaded In vain with these same men and their predecessors. Where he failed we cannot expect to succeed. Hot thou -h we fall here to-day. like our treat leader of other days. In the larger fe'd. before the mightier tribunal which win finally nn1 forever decide this question, we shall lie more than conquerors: for this gr, nt ration, shaking off as it has once before tbe Influence of a lower cIt llizatlo'i, will go on to fulfill Its high destiny until ovor the Foulh. as well as over the North, shall be spread the full measure of that amazl'tg prosperity which Is tbe wonder of the world. STARVING ITALIANS. Frightful Misery and Suffering Throughout Italy. Temporary tranquillity htL been restored in Italy and Sicily, where the Italian government, has bebn in conflict with ararchits and revolutionists. With the withdrawing of trt ops, however, from tho disturbed districts it is probable that trouble will break out anew. The poverty ar.d suffering among the people are apralling. Misery reign everywhere, and in the remoter rural district men, women and children are dying daily of actual hunger. An idea of wnnt is soing on in. the interior of Italy mnv be gathered from the fact, officially admitted, that :H person, ihe entire population cf tho village of Roghudi Cal ibrin. suddenly arrived at Cittanova or.e day iat week, ragged and shoeless, the younger men carrying the old folks and t he woman their children. Many wero in a pitiable state of exhaustion. Several wemen had dead children in their arms, and two or three old men ha'l died on tho way. They declared that they had left the village, became unless they left they would dies ff starvation. There wns not a scrap of food in the place when they left, and rotiiing was growing on the lan-j. The only way in whii h (ho government can stop the pre-ent discontent and end the prevailing wretchedness of tho reoplo is by estahiis-hing relief works and redwing taxst'on. Hut this the bankrupt government cannot do. As a member of the triple alliance Italy must pi-bol the po;p!o to maintain her enormous army. HOW THE SENATE STANDS.

Tobacco Caused Consumption- nlobuc Cures the Tobacco Habit and Consumptive IJels Well. Two Bivrits, Wis,. Feb. 2. Special. Great excitement and interest has been manifested in the recovery of an old-time resident of this town, Air. Jos. Bunker, who has for several years been considered by all his friends a hopeless consumptive. Investigation shows that for over thirty-two years ho used thrceand n half po inds of' tobacco a weolf. A sboi t time asro ho wa- induced to try a tobacco-habit cure called "Xo-To-Bac." Talking about his miraculous veovcy to-day ho said: "Vcs. I u,-ed No-To-Buc. ami two boxes completely cured me. I thought, and so did all my friend-, that I had consumption. No n- they say, as you sav, 'how healthy and strong you look, Joe." ami whenever they ask mo what cured my con-umption, 1 tell them Xo-To-Bac. Tho last week I used tobacco 1 lost four pounds. The morning I began the use of Xo-To-llar I weighed l.'Tl pounds: today I weigh UK', a gain of 4H pounds, i eat heartily and sleep well. Before I used No-To-Bac I was so nervous that when 1 went to drink I had to h ld ihe glass' in both hands, To-day my nerve are perfectly steady. Where did I get Xc-To-Bac-' At tho drug store. It is made by tho Steriino Remedy Company, general Western office lo Randolph St., Chicago, b it I see by the printed matter that it is sold by all druggists I know all the druggists in this town keep it. I have r eomniended it to over ono hundred people and do not know of a single failure to cure."

Ritltng a llronc-o, 'It's all bosh, this talk about cowboys learning to enjoy I he sport of riding a bucking hoi sc.'" said a reformed cow-boy. 'Hiding a bucking horse is like having boils you never get thoroughly used to it. "When you hoar a fellow say that he would like to ride a bucking horse he is either a liar or a grconhorn. The first day I ever went out with a herd of cattle I was dumped nine times because of the presence of a cactus burr in my saddle blanket. "I have nev er seen but one msn that had grit enough to sit on a real bucking horse until it had bucked all it, wanted to. and he was bleeding at the hose, mouth, and ears when they took him off the horse at the end of a hatf hours' struggle. As a general thing a cow-boy will pull a horse's head up, wind tho reins around the saddle horn, take a firm grip on the saddle with his hands and then rowel the bucket- until the animal becomes convinced that it is better to behave than to buck." Phvnix :Cal. ; Gazette. llany Alligators Steve Melton recently showed to his friends a score of baby alligators. which came out of the egg two days before. Henry Christopher, who has an alligator farm on Hannibal Creek, bi ought them to the city the other morning to be sold. Christopher has several large 'gatoif.. which not him more in the course of a year than a doen hens. The advantage the "gator has ovx'- the hen is in the matter of feed. The hen has to be fed every day. aud the 'gator takes his meal about once every three montlis. When iirst hatched, ihe 'gators arc about three to four inches long. In a day or two, however, they double their size, and don't need any food to do it on. cither.

And now. it is said, the secret of producing butter is discovered.

Hero is another step taken towaro ihu ni'lenmal peri 3d when man will press the button and Nature will do all the rest. Where are these wonderful discoveries lostop? And hat is to become of the working people wh -;n a i the work tloes itself? It remains for mankind to ho c that when it ceases to be possible lor the multitude to make a living on earth, tho secret of living without food may come out, or the perfection of liv ing-machines, or something, may provide means ol emigration to other spheres. Hydrophobia Among Chicken!!. According to undisputed report couple of hens at Hillsdale. X. I. wore recently bitten by a mad ciog. Xo ooubt thev "got it in the neck." so that it is strange that their heads did not come off: but you could not "preserve the unities" in that way. and so they lived to lav more eggs, although this is not the laying season, and soon after their recovery hydrophobia was developed and they expired in agony, as usual. The report does not say pltimniy that thev "snarieu and nariced like a dog,'' but it insimiHtes the same by describing thorn as "frothing at the mouth and uttering unhenlikesounds." But for this it might 1m; thought thl tho chickens had the pip: but the question now is. are those hydrophobic eggs thoy laid? Brooklyn Citizen. llirlh stone.

StomaehLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred. Years. It is Pleasant to tho Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Kervinc Tonio has only recently been introduced Into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of tho Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of tho most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of tho general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cntise. It performs this by the great nervine tonic, qualities which it possesses, and by its grit curative powers upon the digestive organs, tbe. stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strcngthener of the life forces of the human body, and its a great rencwer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to uso this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over "the danger. This great utrengthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the. lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been nble to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon tbe youngest child or the' oldest and most, delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all tho ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. ' When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all tbo power by which the vital forces of the body ere carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a suflicient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
