STORM ST LIBERTY VERY DESTRUCTIVE

That of Saturday One of the Fiercest in Union County In Twenty Years. "WIND LIKE A CYCLONE. A NUMBER OF BUILDINGS WERE UNROOFED AND STALLS AT THE FAIR GROUNDS WERE BLOWN DOWN. Liberty, Ind., July 8. This city was the center Saturday afternoon of one of the fiercest and most destructive storms which has visited Union county in twenty years. Following a morning of sultry heat, great masses of black clouds approached from the rorth-west and breaking in all their fury about V, p. m., subjected our city and surrounding territory for over an hour to the worst storm of years. The wind, of cyclonic speed and force, being accompanied by a veritable cloudburst of water, made it particularly de structive to trees, and the fine maples. which shade our principal residence streets, were ruined by hundreds. For hours after the storm had spent its fury. Union. Seminary, Vine and Main streets were impassable, the wrecks of the once fine shade trees blocking travel. An immense amount of property damage was inflicted. The Corrington Hotel, the K. of P. block, McCoy Bros, flouring mill and numerous other buildings being'unroofed, while at the fair grounds only fifteen out of one hundred stalls were left standing, and chimneys were blown down all over town, including the smoke stack at Rude Bros, factory. Farmers in the path of the storm report wheat badly damaged as but very little had been cut In this vicinity. STRAIN TOO GREAT. Hundreds of Richmond Readers Find Daily Toil a Burden.

Lundsford, driver, employed on the city street work, living at .114 South Fifteenth street, Richmond, Ind. Bays: "For some weeks I was troubled with pain in the back and a disordered action of the kidneys. The jar of riding seemed to irritate the trouble and when I caught cold my kidneys were always unusually weak. It was hard for me to endure the dull, draggy aching in my back. I was trying something for my trouble when I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store. I used Doan's- Kidney Pills for about ten days, when the pains and aches left me, and I then continued the treatment until cured. From my experience I am glad to give Doan's Kidney Pills a hearty endorsement." For sale by all dealers. Price To cents. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, JCew York, sole agents for the United States.

One of the most successful wholesale dry goinls merchants New York city ever saw had the peculiar habit of regarding as his inferior any man who was engaged in a business less genteel, as he held, than his own. In his employ was a young Vermonter, who felt highly elated when one day a man from his native town who was visiting the city called on him. The man was somewhat crude in his manners, but he had piled up a fortune In the tinware business and in buying up at a discount In times of panic commercial paper which he believed was good. The youth introduced the Vermonter to his employer. "What business are you In?" asked the dry goods prince as the two shook hands. "The tinw-a-a-r business," drawled the Vermonter. Without a word the dry goods merchant turned on his heel and bolted Into his private office. He didn't recognize tinware merchants as desirable acquaintances. "Hold on a minute, Mr. V shouted the Vermonter after the retreating figure. "Are these here things goin to be fmid when they fall due?" From his wallet the Vermonter drew several slips of paper; which he held up to the dry goods merchant's face. The merchant glanced at them and effusively bade the Vermonter welcome to his private office. The papers were notes to the extent of $50,000 uttered by the dry goods merchant and which, unknown to him, the Vermonter had bought up at a big discount. Brooklyn Eagle. OLD TIME CELEBRATIONS. Happiness the Order of the Day, Tranquillity of the Night. The files of old newspapers are a priceless record of the history and manners of their times. In the papers of 1796 the accoants of public rejoicings show that these were few in number and that the method of keeping them differed widely from our Ideas of festivities. Washington's birthday "was perhaps the greatest holiday. "Industrious citizens," we are told, "appropriated the hour of noon for the congratulations of the day. Each family enriched the domestic meal with bountiful provisions, and gay spirits and temperate and undhjsembled joy pervaded all classes." There were speeches and processions and Illuminations for the less industrious who were willing to give something more than the hour of noon to the celebration, but the most memorable observance of the day was that of the Harvard students. "Saying to each other that it would le disgraceful to pretend to honor Washington with riot and disorder, they retired to their clinxnbers before 0 o'clock, and by the time the bells ceased ringing there was not a light to be seen In any of the buildings." This is rqnaied by the summing up of the celebrations of Fourth of July for tffe same year, a day observed with great rejoicing'- No accidents are re ported, and tbe editor concludes, "In short. In every place we heard from happiness was the rder of the day. tranquillity of the night" Youth's Companion. The Luscious Grape.

"As Cromwell rose iH power and rank his love of horses beaa to be m&re conspicuous," says a writer in Blackwood's. "When he started from London in 1640 to reconquer Ireland hs went forth in that state and equipage as the like hath hardly been seen, hint self in a coach with six gallant Flanders mares, reddish gray." In lGZ'C, when the Spanish ambassador took his leave of the lord protector, Cromwci; sent him "his own couch of six white horses" to convey him to and from Whitehall. "Certain it is," adds the narrator, v "that none f the English kings had ever any such." The protector was not much of a whip, however. LnlC54 the Count of Oldenburg sent Cromwell a present of six horses, and the protector's anxiety to make trial of their quality led to his well known adventure in Hyde park. On Friday, Sept. 20, he went with Secretary Thurloe and some of his gentlemen to take air in the park, ordered the six horses to be harnessed to his coach, put Thurloe inside of it and undertook to drive himself. "His highness," said a letter from the Dutch ambassador, "drove pretty handsomely for some time, but at last, provoking those horses too much with the whip, they grew unruly, whereby his highness was flung out of the coach box upon the ground. His foot getting hold in the tackling, he was carried away a good while in that posture, but at last he got his foot clear and so came to escape. He was presently brought home and let blood and after some rest taken Is now well again. The secretary, being hurt on his ankle with leaping out of the coach, hath been forced to keep his chamber hitherto and been unfit for any business." The royalist Scroargs, afterward chief justice, writing of this incident, hoped that the next fall would be from a cart hinting at the gallows. As to Cromwell's views on the burning question of horse racing it Is difficult to arrive at a positive conclusion. His constant aim was to possess as many good horses as Tie could afford. Whether he entered his horses for races or had the satisfaction of owning a winner history does not say. Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio The Annual Inspection. Milton, Ind.

DEWEY APPROVES A FLEET IN PACIFIC

Naval Hero Believes That Squadron to the West Will Aid in Peace. WON'T CATCH UNCLE SAM. UNEASINESS HAS BEEN CAUSED IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT AND IT IS GETTING BUSY IN PREPARATION. Utiea, N. Y.. July 8. "It is a pity we have not ships enough to keep powerful fleets in both oceans, but since we have not It seems to me that in the in terests of peace, it is best at this time that our fleet should be in the Pacific." In this comprehensive and significant sentence Admiral George Dewey, chairman of the general navy board and the hero of Manila Bay, summed up the reason and necessity of sending the United States battle ship fleet, sixteen powerful naval fighters, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the longest cruise of the sort in naval history. There was no mistaking his meaning. Admiral Dewey dictated the all-mean ing phrase and it was his first utter ance on the subject since the navy board took up the startling project of transferring the Nation's sea fighting force around the horn. The author of the "peace cruise" for some" such title is surely coming to him tore off the flimsy cloak which had been officially thrown around the movement since it was announced June 10. Admiral Dewey Laughs. To him the 1 .". k m mile cruise is not an experiment in naval mobility. It is for the purpose of keeping peace in all the Pacific by securing as quickly as possible the balancing of power. Though Admiral Dewey does not be lieve that this country is likely to be come seriously involved with any pow er he believes it necessary for the Unit ed States navy to be paramount in the ocean which bA jumped iiito such strategic importance since the Spanish and Russian-Japanese wars. Reasons founded on his own experi ence in the Philippines he gave for preferring the Pacific coast to Manila as a permanent naval base. From which, one can safely surmise that Admiral Evans's tremendous fleet will go by Magellan instead of Suez and that the majority of the big battle ships will shortly say good-bye to the Atlantic for years to come. He laughed at the dangers and difficulties conjured up by those who oppose the transfer. Not Caught Napping. Washington, July 8 While Uncle Sam's representatives are at The Hague, seeking for the abolition of all war and striving to coax down the dove of peace with offers of the corn of conciliation, Uncle Sam is determined not to be caught napping if the Mikado casts envious eyes on his possessions in the Pacific. Although the Navy Department is striving to minimize the importance of the announcement that the sixteen big battle ships in the Atlantic squadron are to be transferred to tha Pacific coast, the matter is of such moment that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, has publicly expressed the opinion that his Government would not regard it as an unfriendly move. There is the strongest reason for believing that this program was fully mapped out and adopted, and it is known that work on the new battleship Nebraska, which was placed in commission this week at the Premerton Naval Station in Puget Sound, was hurried with almost feverish haste. However, in view of the publicity given the program it is regarded as net unlikely that President Roosevelt will order that the transfer of the ships be made quickly and unobtrusively, and not in squadron as was first contemplated. It is considered practically settled that the United States naval force in Pacific waters will be strengthened so that it may cope with any eventuality. The condition in the navy is causing much uneasiness in the department. There is a woeful lack of officers and men, and this week the Indiana and Iowa were placed out of commission because there were no crews to man them. These fighting crafts have gone to join the Texas, which long since was placed in reserve, and the Massachusetts, the Oregon and the New York, all of which are out of commis sion. Hairbrushes.

Hew She Was Won

3D Original. J It was about that Alphonse Norraindin ctime to New Orleans from Paris. He had frr.ght sixteen duels and had k.'JIed nine of his antagonists. Friends or relatives of his victims had several times sought to take a life for a life, but thry had all been wounded or killed. The truth was that Normindia was so skilled in all weapons, so especially fitted with eyes, delicacy of tcuch and nerve, that he was iuvincib'e. One eves'ng Normindin was sitting with friends in a cafe adjoining a hall where a masked ball was in progress. A man dresafd to represent Mephistophele? and we:)r;ntj a nak entered, walked st;'iht vt t the table where Nonr.indin w.-a i- J. took up a glass cf wlr.e standi ::-.; on ve table before the dtis-3i:it and ikrew it in bis face. Norm: at; s pa!o?. This was the first time in hia i:r lh;it he h.icl ben thus deliberately !a.w;t'd. v :ping the wine oCf his face, h h;c;f s;toe aud asked: "Who are you, tir?" "The devil." "Take o.T your mask." "ThHt I wiil d- v.-ba I have killed you. You Khali I'.k ivon my face as you pass belo'-r to nay kingdom." "I do not hght with unknown persons." "You shall do so now or I will kill you where you sit." "And if I fifcSt?" "I will kill you anyway." Those sitting about noticed that Normindin was not his usual self. Attempting to look unconcerned, he put his thumb and tiDjer on the stem of a wineglass and raised It to his lips. Ills hand trembled. "When and where can my seconds find you?" be aske-J of his enemy. "Now and here." Turning to two gentlemen la evening dress who had entered wilh him, he addeJ, "These will acconitncusti? you." Then he went and sat down nt a table in a corner of the rouzi whi'e the arrangements were Leirs? made. Normindin wished dilaj, byt th stranger said "Now." Noff2ln!. hvt'ver. though the challenger, wus AiW'.red the choice of weapons, for his enemy saii that since he was oin to kfi! hits it made no diiTetenc with wist weapon he did tha deed.

He had intended to chotJs a short svord, with which few person?) were practvi;d and with which he wui an expert, but be had cerer before known a ca?e where the chalit'njtsr had been given the choice of weaions. This wrs supreme indifference. Within an hour after the insult had been given th principals were fighting in a large uiifurr.i.-?i.ed room forming the whole top story of a dwelling: house, lighted by lamps. The stranger still wore his devil's dress and was masked. Short sword were in the hands'of both adversaries. The stranger showed skill In fencing, but not extraordinary skill. Normindin was plainly out of nerve. This made an even contest of it. They fenced for some time without either getting the advantage. lint thpre was a certain spring in the Htran-er which increased, while Nornaindin wr.s heavy and growing heavier. Ther was something uncanny In the devil's costume. The mouth of the mask wua cut to repre sent a leer, anl through two holeabove a pftir of glittering eyes looked out, it seemed to Normindin, In ma Iklous triu-neph. "You can't kiU me, nor I you," saif Nornckiil'.n presently. "It is a draT,-.' Nonni-idin s aecauis looked at e&cit "other In suryrine. "I shall kill yu," replied the other confidently. "Nov."

He continued to stare at the speaker till his eyes becanw? glared. Then the latter, handing hi weapon' to his second, got Into a carriage and was driven away. This was neither the first nor the last act in a drama of which it was part. The first is this: Alphonse Mercier. a young man who had ju3t come of age, wooed and won Eugenie Lefevre, the daughter of a wealthy cotton broker of New Orleans. Another suitor was Captain Itowell Tracy of the United States engineer?, on duty in the Creec-nt City and fifteen years older tlwn Mercier.
