If you have ever looked at the lone and limbless trees in a deadening, or the naked masts of ships in a large port, you can imagine how Crawfordsville would appear were it not for the houses that obstruct tho view. It is, indeed, "the city of poles." To support the telephone, telegraph, electric light and fire alarm wires, a regular forest of poles hns been used and every street has two or three lines of them. They mar the beauty of me town.— Ladoga Leader.

A trick is being skillfully wonted in Hancock county. Two men representing a Brooklyn insurance company secured a list of good farms covered by mortgage in that county, and then called upon the owners with the information that they were paying too much interest, and if they would insure their property in the company represented by them the mortgage could be rc- Issued at a much lower rate of interest. After accepting the proposition and paying the premiums, tho farmer was blandly informed that "owing to the failure of the company with whom we expected to place your loan, we are unable to get you the money." As a result tho victim found Ills buildings insured at an advanced cost, with his old mortgage hanging over him unchanged.

the wind came in gusts, which the weather-wise did not like. The steamer's pilot, fearing to be caught at the dock by the storm, hurried the people aboard. liefore the hawsers were thrown olT the. rain begun to fall in torrents, and the wind had incre.'ised to a hurricane. The lightning became intense in its brilliancy anil the thunder peals were deafening. Women became, frightened :i: the. boat's crew had difficulty in maintaining order. As soon as the barge was freed from its lashing tho homeward journey began. The steamer had hardly begun to move when a blinding flush of lightning, accompanied by it crack of thunder, occurred. At the same instant the hurricane deck of the Republic collapsed. It lifted straight up in the air and fell with an awful crash. The deck was packed with people, and down on their unprotected heads it came with terrific force, crushing life and all .semblance of humanity out of the unfortunate ones a short time before so full of happiness. Then the cyclone wus gone and nothing was left behind but the shrieks of the wounded and the groans of the dying.

Almost the whole upper roof of the barge was blown off and the two poles or masts lay across them, pinning down all who sat or stood on that side. This was the side where almost till the people were being sheltered from the rain. A pitiful cry from the hundreds imprisoned beneath the debris arose. Mothers were shrieking for their children. and children, mangled and crushed, were beseeching with their feeble .voices to lie released.

TIm

confusion was

well-nigh indescribable. So quickly had the cyclone swept, over the barge that not a soul realized what hud happened until the great muss of splintered wood came thundering down. One man in a white ilannel sint was pinned down by heavy timber which lay across his chest,. By a tremendous effort he freed himself, and was crawling to a place that promised safety when In* stumbled against a support and Joosenud it. The heavy piece of wood struck him on the head aud he was thrown into the water. He sunlc instant,ly. Alin»st at the same moment, a 5-yeiir-old child, a bright, flaxen-haired little thing, reached forward cry Big. "Pupa, pupa.." She would Vinve fallen overboard, too. but was seized by Che sloirtw bv a woman whose face was covered with blood. The little one was drawn buck an sa^i'd. A dark-hti^d woman about 30 ye-M-s of age was' wilder a great load of debt-is. She was groaning feebly, but, when they got her out, she was dead. Her face \vus sliockiuigly disfigured and both arms were broken

On tho steamer and barge were about 500 men and women and as many children. A panic ensued and there was a wild rush for the dock. All the reports of the catastrophe agree that it could not have occurred had the barge been a vessel of proper strength. Its timbers are reported to have been rotten, and they parted, where others would have withstood the force of the squall.

Large fields of wheat looked as if they had been passed over wit.ii a land-roller and then dragged Tne width of the storm ranged trom *.' to miles and its course was from east to west,.
