A TORNADO IN TEXAS.

FIFTEEN PERSONS KILLED AND MANY INJURED. Two Hundred Build Inga Swept Away by Wind—Storm Leave* a Path of Devastation Five Milea Wide—Fire Break* Out in Buina. A cyclone spread a path of death and desolation five miles in width and of unknown length through central Texas shortly before 6 o'clock Monday night. The storm centered in Somervell Cpunty and swept down upon the town of Glenrose, the county seat, tearing to pieces probably 200 buildings and killing at least fifteen and injuring fifty persons. One-third of tile business' houses were wrecked and many hemes are now only splintered beams scattered over a wide area. The cyclone struck the town almost without a moment’s warning. The residents were wholly unprepared for its coming and if they had been warned of its approach their utmost efforts could have'a vailed them nothing, for no building of human construction could withstand the force of the storm. Houses were torn to shreds while the frightened occupants were looking out of windows or eating supper. Broken timbers crashed down upon their heads. Many persons, the roofs of their homes having been whipped off and the walls torn asunder. were whirled along with the blast and the debris. Hoars Down the Valley. The storm came from the northwest and passed down the valley of the I’aluxy river, on which Glenrose is situated. Although the region below Glenrose is not densely populated, it Is reported that many persons were killed in i the path of the cyclone throughout the valley. The day had been one of oppressive sultriness, from which not only the people of Glenrose but also throughout Texas suffered. Toward night a dark cloud gathered In the west. There was not the slightest wind in Glenrose, but steadily

“Gee, don’t spring weather make a feller feel grand!” Chicago Record-Herald.

the cloud grew and swiftly it advanced down upon Somervell- County. Of a sudden there was a mighty roar and the buildings of the doomed town began to fall. With a whirling motion and an accompanyng rainfall that was like a deluge the windstorm tore its way through the business section of Glenrose, leveling everything that stood in its path. The area of annihilation was not of'great width, bnt there was immense damage on either side of the storm center for two and one-half miles. The court house at Glenrose stood a little to one side of the center of the whirling monster. It was a fine structure and .supposed to be one of the stanchest in the State, having been constructed with a view to withstanding the fiercest of Texas winds. It proved to be but a frail piece of matchwood, however, In the storm. The building is so badly racked, twisted and torn that it will have to be rebuilt. A big warehouse owned by the Milams was razed. Two saloons were lifted into and blown away bodily. They were ripped to pieces In their flight through the air. What became of their occupants is not known. The big grocery store of Lily & Sons was blown away and its timbers s'.rewn over the river valley. Among the other big structures demolished were four warehouses belonging to Hendricks & Son. A blacksmith shop was torn down, even the brick fireplace being powdered to dust. Fire Add* It* Terror*. Following the destruction by storm fire started in the ruins of some of the buildings. This spread panic among the surviving residents of Glenrose. There was no way of combatting the flames and if a strong wind had sprung up the entire town would probably have been fireswept and 1,000 persons homeless Instead of the lesser number, who lost all or a great part of what they had by the onslaught of the cyclone. Glenrose was n town of about 1,000 population. Though but a small place it contained many wealthy residents who were prominent throughout the State. Among these were the Milam families, who suffered most from the effects of the cyclone. Oarl a Milam was cashier of the First National Bank. His home was directly in the path of the storm. Milam was found badly injured far from the site of hia home. The members •f his family, all of whom are dead, were found in various places in tbs storm’s path.

OLEO BILL IS PASSED.

Imposes Heavy Taxes and Stringent Regulations. The oleomargarine bill has passed Congress. The Senate accepted the House amendments to the Senate bill. The bill not only relates to oleo, but also to butterlne, imitation, process, renovated or adulterated butter, and imitation cheese, and all other substances in the semblance of butter or cheese not made exclusively of pure and unadulterated milk and cream. It removes such imitation products from the operation of the original package decision and makes them subject to the laws of the State into which they are transported and offered for sale. I’robably the most important section is that imposing a tax of 10 cents a pound upon oleo artificially celored to look like butter of any shade of yellow. It has been repeatedly claimed that this tax will drive the oleomargarine manufacturers out of business. Oleo free from artificial coloring is taxed by the bill onefourth of 1 cent a pound. Any person who mixes with oleo nny artificial coloration that causes It to look like butter is defined by the bill to be a manufacturer and subject to the tax imposed upon manufacturers. The definition given in the bilt-of various artificial products now frequently sold as pure' creamery butter is important. For instance, adulterated butter is the name given that article produced by mixing, reworking, rechurning in milk or cream, refining or in any way producing a uniform, purified or improved product from dififerent lots of melted or unmelted butters, or butter fat, In which any acid, alkali, chemical or any substance whatever is introduced- for the purpose of deodorizing or removing rancidity, or any butter or butter fat with which there is mixed any substance foreign to butter, with the intent of cheapening the cost of the product; or any butter in the manufacture or manipulation of which any process or material is used with any intent of causing the absorption of abnormal quantities of water, milk or cream. Process or renovated butter ia defined to be “butter which has been subjected to any process by which it is melted, clarified or refined and made to resemble gen-

uine butter, always excepting ‘adulterated butter.’ ” This is believed to be sufficiently broad to bring under the definition of process or renovated butter any product resulting fn>.n the reworking or treatment of butter which is not reached by the definition of adulterated butter. The bill imposed a number of special taxes. Manufacturers of process or renovated butter shall pay S6O a year, and manufacturers of adulterated butter S6OO a year, and any person who engages in the production of either as a business will be considered a manufacturer. Wholesale dealers in adulterated butter will be taxed S4BO a year and retail dealers S4B, every person selling the product in less .quantities than ten pounds being considered a retail dealer. Manufacturers of process or renovated butter, or adulterated butter, who do not pay thia special tax will be punished by a fine of not less than SI,OOO and not more than $5,000, while dealers who violate the license law will be punished, in addition to being compelled to pay the tax, fiy' a fine of not less than SSO or more than SSOO for each offense.

Told in a Few Lines.

Stove Manufacturers’ Association have boosted prices of stoves 5 per cent. At Lexington, Ky., William McCarty, a railroad brakeman, shot and killed his wife on hearing she had sworn out a peace warrant against him. The Frank A. Munsey Company, capital $10,000,000, New York, incorporated, to carry on a publishing business. Munsey, a few years ago, started in the magazine business with only S4O. Perry 0. Knight,-an inmate of the Leavenworth Soldiers’ home, was killed by a train near the home early Sunday morning. He did not see the train approaching. Knight served in Company B, Eighteenth Indiana infantry, during the Civil War and was about 05 years old. Gov. Murphy of Arizona has announced that he will resign. Alexander C. Brodie, lieutenant colonel of Roosevelt’s rough riders, will succeed hiili, having already been named by President Roosevelt to take the place upon the expiration of Murphy's term. It has developed that murder was committed on the U. S. 8. Cincinnati while the ship was lying at Charleston. Janies A. Paine, a blacksmith, struck with a pair of iron tongs and killed Angus Williams, a water tender. The row occurred in the Are room. Paine will be tried by naval court martial.

POLITICS OF THE DAY

Hanna'* Star Is Rising. Directly following the death of the lamented McKinley it looked very mucn as though President Roosevelt would have a walkover for the nomination. He was the beloved of the nation at large, and only hls tactless doings of the last three or four months have hurt hls chances materially. But since Mr. Roosevelt began to descend the scale of national popularity. Mr. Hanna has been “doing things.” He has suddenly blossomed out as the violent friend of labor, whereas three or four years ago he was the Intolerable employer who “ground under the Iren heel of oppression” hls owtf people and those whom he could In any way influence. He has suddenly become a warm admirer and the bosom friend, the earnest advocate, the tearful defendant of the concrete workingman of the United States.— Denver Post. Borne of Our Own Medicine. We greatly injured the British tinplate Industry by our tariff and we hailed the crippling of it as conclusive proof of the wisdom of our policy. Yet all the while we have had free access Into British ports and Into the ports of all the British dependencies and many of the British colonies. We know that If Great Britain acquires dominion over any portion of the earth's surface she will, unless she at once erects selfgoverning colony, admit all the nations of the earth to free access to the trade of that territory. Therefore It would be strange Indeed if we, who have never hesitated to tax foreign trade even to the point of destroying it, should have the brazenness to object to any taxes that Great Britain might see tit to levy on our trade.—lndianapolis News. Crowninshield at the Coronation. Crowninshield will go. England will see us at our best. We trust to the stormy and remorseless sea of the most beautiful and valued thing we have. Hitherto we have guarded him from peril of all kinds. Wrapped in bur tenderest solicitude, as some priceless bit of bric-a-brac is wrapped In softest down, he has been kept syife and warm, far from the devouring wave, beyond the reach of the impious and cruel hurricane. England’s attention is respectfully but firmly called to the sacrifice we now make to our ecstasy. Had we sent the whole American fleet and Imperiled every man-jack on the active list we could not have testified more eloquently to our love and reverence.—Washington Post. Roosevelt Bound Hand and Foot. The Roosevelt who was a terror to bosses, a champion of Independence and a defender of good government exists no longer. The hope of a nomination for the office which he at present accidentally holds has been dangled successfully before his eyes, and the Roosevelt of to-day is as clay in the potter's hands to the selfish, practical politicians who infest the government at Washington. Candidates for office are oftentimes said to be “in the hands of their friends.” Mr. Roosevelt has placed himself in the hands of the selfish and cold-blooded bosses, who plotted bis undoing In 1900, and who had him shelved—but for the accident of death.—Albany, N. Y., Argus. The Kngliah Tax on Bread. Whatever may be the ultimate purpose of Joseph Chamberlain In reversing the traditional policy of Great Britain and establishing protection in place of free.trade, the Immediate effect of the scheme of taxation on which the new budget is based will be to stir up the English people as they have not been stirred In this gene-.j-tlon. What the Chancellor of iue Exchequer proposes is a revival of the “corn laws” which provoked the political revolution in Cobden’s day. Arc the English people more subservient, than when they arose against that Imposition?—Boston Post. Wasting the President'* Uime. Nearly three-fourths of the President's working time is worse than wasted In receiving people who have no business with him, merely Idle Intruders, sightseers. Congressmen, Introducing constituents and applicants for petty places. Public affairs demanding the personal attention of the President have so Increased in number and importance as to require all the energy of a robust man, and it is Impossible for any man to enrry that burden and devpte many hours n day to the crowd without breaking down.—Philadelphia North American. Our Policy Must Be Changed. If the United States are ever to gain the confidence of the Filipinos it must be by a contrast with Spanish procedure. If American generals and petty officers think that the new propaganda Is to be exemplified by cruelties and persecutions It is time for the President to call a halt. Extremists may call hls order “encouragement to the enemy.” Fortunately, the great mass of the American people thlfik otherwise.— fit. Louis Republic. The Atrocities in the Philippines. It Is time that Congress stripped the mn«k of “benevolent assimilation*’ from this administration. Let the people have all the facts so carefully concealed and so unblushingly denied by the War Department. Let them see what really has been done In their tame in the torture of non-combatants*

the murder of prisoners, the burning indiscriminately x>f all dwellings in vik lages where some few “insurgents” have been found. It Is a bad story, but when the people find out how bad it is they will also find a remedy.—Boston Post. A Questionable Proceeding. While the report that the President would not accept the resignation of hls Pension Commissioner until a higher post was toady for him did not deceive anyone as to the real status of the case, it did take off a little of the raw edge, and it is to be regretted that President Roosevelt’s eagerness to “promote” a faithful public whose retirement from office was expedient for political reasons, was not as strong as his desire to curry favor with the faction demanding the removal of the Pension Commissioner.—Rochester Herald. Roosevelt Is Losing Ground. Mr. Roosevelt Is dally losing party friends. With a stubborn conceit unwarranted by any qualities of statesmanship or calm judgment, he disdains the aid of such ripe advisers as Mr. McKinley had about him. As things are going, the President may have a hard struggle for renomination, which is manifestly his sole present alm. Among the intelligent and practical elements of his party there is strong and growing doubt of the possibility of bis election If he Is made the candidate in IDOL Buffalo Courier.

Saving Time in the White House. Roosevelt has found it necessary to reprimand so many officers of the army and the navy that, according to a report in Washington, he has decided to save breath by shoutiug a reprimand with strenuous eloquence into a phonograph and then arrange it so he can turn on the machinery whenever occa, slon needs by simply pressing a button. The plan has the further advantage that if an officer falls to call at the White House for his reprimand the ma' chine can be sent to him.—San Francisco Call. Can’t Wean the Babe*. The difficulty with the babes whom Congress has taken under its protecting care Is that they never are weaned. They suck eternally, no matter how great their size. The steel tariff was enacted to protect some infant a quarter of a century ago in the Schuylkill or Lehigh valley. We still have a high tariff to protect the billion-dollar United States Steel Corporation. There is no limit to the hungry thirst of an Infant once it is put to the milk.—Philadelphia Times. Doe* Not Concern Politic*.' There can be no consideration of the political standing of the trust at a time li*.e this. The fact that Hanna’s campaign committee is largely indebted to the beef trust, or that the Tammany organization in New York has begun active measures to suppress the monopoly cannot be allowed to count. One of the main articles of the food of the people is being arbitrarily raised in price, and that La something outside of and faraway from party politics.—Boston Post. Babcock Has Been Muzzled. Congressman Babcock, of Wisconsin, has been re-elected chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. Now the Dingleyites have Mr. Babcock where they want him. He must fish, cut bait or go ashore. Hls arguments in favor of electing a majority in the next Congress, which will perpetuate the injustices and absurdities of the«existing tariff, will be awaited with general, not to say feverish, impatience.—Albany Argus.

Howto Put Ourselves Right. We shall never put ourselves in the way of winning the friendship and confidence of the Filipinos until we make them believe thnt we regard the illegal and unauthorized killing of one of their number as being quite as wrong as such a killing of an American soldier. We can accomplish no good purpose by killing Filipinos merely because they are Filipinos or because some other Filiplnes have killed some Americans.'' —lndianapolis News. On a Perilous Voyage. It is quite evident, even to landsmen, that the Republican ship is trying to sail between Scylla and stormy weather at that, in dealing with the tariff question and its relation to Cuba. If captain and crew do something for Cuba they will strike certain American Interests in a fatal spot; if they do nothing for Cuba they will create an embarrassing situation.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Profit, Not Philanthropy, the Object Trusts are run for the benefit of the capitalists, not for the benefit of the workingmen, Senator Hanna to the contrary notwithstanding. Just as was the case when the tariff abut out foreign competition, so now when the gigantic combinations recently formed have shut out domestic competition, dividends Increase, not wages.—Houston Post. Breeding Trouble for Himeelf. If the President persists In the purpose which It is announced he has of immediately forcing Gen. Miles upon the retired list be will, In our judgment, commit an act which he and his administration will In the future have abundant cause to regret.—Boston Transcript.
