A cyclona of tre mendoiM force swept oyer a portion of northern Indiana to-night. Telegraph wires throughout a considerable territory are prostrated and an idea of the extent of its ravages can only he formed f rm a few scattering reports. At Window Siding a Nickle Plate rnilrtiad train of sixteen freight cars was lifted from the track and distributed across the surrounding prairies. At Wanatah a uuuuler of houses were unroofed. It was thought the city of Valparaiso lay in the puth of the cyclone and much alarm was felt. Hut a later dispatch sa3-s Valparaiso was not touched. The storm was dtllccted two miles to the south. Three hundred telegraph poles were lereled in the neighborhood. A Protest From Merchants. Eaolk Pah, Texas, Slay 12.- The merchants of 1'iedras JNcgras held a pri vate meeting yesterday to take measures against the heavy, and they claim illegal tax levied upon them by the government for the pretended support of the munici pality. The tax now collected on imports into the so-called free zone of Piedras Negras amounts to 6 per cent ad valorem on foreign goods and 2$ per cent on goods of Mexican manufacture. This is a heavy drawback on the merchants ef tli.it town, and the interior merchants threaten to withdraw their trade from this point if they have to pay this addi tional tax. Of this 6 per cent, 4 per cent goes to the city and the balance to the State. The amount collected for the city is bctweee $:,000 and $4,000 per month, and the total expences of the city gov ernment are only $1,000 per month. The money is drawn out of the treasury by the Jefc Politico. The query in th miuds of the merchants is where dos it go to Messrs. Rafael, Musquix and Susno were appointed delegates to lay the matter before the government at Sal tillo, and try and have it remedied. Orders for Oorder Officers. Xoi-.ai.ks. A. T., May 11. The secre tary or war of Mexico, has notified the military officers stationed along tlte bor der, that hereafter the rules regulating the demeanor of the military officials will be strictly enforced, and that the extreme penalty, including a heavy fine, will be metfd out. As a punishment for conduct unbecoming an officer for crossing over into the United States with troops and in terfering with the affairs of citizens of a friendly nation the highest penalty, death, will be imposed. This step was taken just after the inquiry into the cases of Col. Arvizu and Lieut. Guiterres, who crossed the line at this place and fired up on the American civil officers and rifcued a prisoner. These two officials were tried by court-martial at Guaymas and sentenc ed to be shot. They appealed to the Su preme Military Court, which has just af firmed the decision and sentence of the court-martial. President Diaz has, how ever, commuted the sentence to twenty years hard labor in the military prison in the state of Santiago. An American Venice. . Galena, 111., May 12. The city of Galena has been turned into an American Venice, and the novel spectacle of skiffs and barges as a means of tram-portation is now seen in all its business portion ex cept Mam street. On the east side of the latter thoroughfare the water in many places is nearly up to the first floor, and preparations are being made by those most interested to move into safer quar ters, lioats i-.ni iioiv" be rosypd entirely around the custom house and pos office buildings, and both Commerce and Wa ter streets are navigable nearly the entire length. A Country Bank Robbed. Pratt, Khu., May JJ- The Pratt County Xatiomd bank was entered at noon today and robbed of $4,000, all in currency. The cashier' momentary ab sence enabled the thieves to effect an en trance by kicking a pane of glass out of the window. Child Killed By a Train. Faibbcrv, Xeb.. llay 12,-4 child pf Joe Mortimer's In-twecn two and three years old, was killed while playing on the track by a freight train of the St. Joe fc Graiid iolaud thjs evening. The Bonds Will be Issued- IIeckom, Xeb., May 12. The bond election f:r 1G,000, to baild a new high school building at JJebron, was carried y fourteen votes over the reqqire4 two t birds. I ..ance. J l --J anienicrg county, were brought before Judge Cole man, at Greenville, for trial, yesterday, charged with having recently gone to the house of John Durdam. whom they took and scverly whipped for some trivial of fense. During the fracas Durham had gotten his pistol and shot Gore, inflicting a serious wound. It was for awhile thought that Gora would die, and the trial of the kukluxers was post poned until he would have recovered sufficiently to appear in court. The case has been continued until Gore will be able to testify. The greatest interest is being manifested in the trial, as the kuk luxers have long been a terror in the com munity. The Druggists' Convention- Lincoln, Neb., May 12. The drug gists' association closed its meeting last night with a banquet, given to the. vi.-it-iug druggists by the home druggUts. It was a success of the most pleasant charac ter. Responses to toasts were made by Governor Thayer, M. E. Schultz, II. B. Burden, A. B. Hayes, II. T. Clarke, Allen W. Field, James K. Lilly and James E Rd. In proof of the statement that the greatest of decorum was preserved by the banqueters, it is only necessary to say that the ladies were invited, and that wine was excluded from the menu. A pleasant incident connected with the meeting was the presentation of a gold-headed cane to W. C. Lane, local secrstary, by the exhibitors, to whose con venience and comfort he has devoted himself most assiduously during the ses sion. Winged Messengers at Key West. Key Wkst, Fla., May 12. The estab lishment of a pigeon messenger service in connection with the signal office at Key West is a foregone conclusion since the order lni3 been promulgated by Gen eral Greely, who has the matter in charge, for necessary lights and fixtures. The first purpose of thjs service is to bring adjacent islands, especially the Bahamas, into communication with Key tVest and by cable with the main land. Those familiar with the use of pigeons as mes sengers believe the scheme will be a sue cess, the only drawback being the liabili ty of loss of birds in sudden stonnts on the ocenn. Will Celebrate. Beaver City, Neb., May 12. Furnas county will celebrate here May 17 by laying the corner stone for a $12,000 court house. The ceremonies will be conducted by tke Masonic order, assisted by the Odd Fellows, Knights of the Golden Eagle, Knights of Pythias and other civil societies.

There ta a frequently recurring complaint j from the farm, reached through the ajjri- j cultural press, of the reluctance of boys to remain in farming pursuits; indeed, some- i times even to enter on such a life. What is ' the cause of this restless and unwilling spirit! Are country employments odious in them selves? Is it a task more dreary or mora dan gerous to break a fiery colt than it is to face the winter as brakemen on a freight train? Is it more ierilous to attend a shorthorn bull than it is to be a policeman and club burglars? Is it worse to do chores as a small boy on his father's farm than it is to work for ? 1 a week und pay traveling expenses to reacli thoolllee, where the loy is the scapegoat who is always wrong, and at whoso door tho shortcomings of every other emplo3'e lie? Is it harder lines to plow behind your own team, to drive your own mowing maehine, or do a good part of your own carting, than it would he to work in u factory at any one of the various indus tries cwrriod on throughout our land? Whilo wo are compelled to acknowledge that farming has its unsatisfactory points, nono can disprove that much dro" vf; broadcast everywhere, 'iud udvtutuiges oi fered by agriculture to its followers are freedom, not from duties, but from personal inconveniences. It is the farmer's own fault if his Louse Ueks comfort; the artisan must work in his employer's shop or factory the larger the establishment the less tho indi vidual How many typesetters have injured sight? How many brakemen are maimed and killed? How long is tho dark li.st of mechanics worn out beforo they have reached maturity from the hardships inci dent to the duties of their callings? So take a look at a Lighev social grade ns contrasted with what country a vocations oirer. It is appalling to note tho young li ves wrecked in cities; yotttua who strain every nervo and use every means to attain a pro fession, who just reach tho threshold and then succumb, worn out in mind and crushed in body. Of the vast multitudes who year after year leave their country homes to seek fortune ia cities, how many succeed? Tho percentage is very small, even of those who tlud a moderate amount of success. Some lack ability, others endurance, and many do not possess sufficient strength. American Agriculturist. Memory of a Railroad Conductor. An illustration of how tho memory may bo cultivated in retaining a long li.st of num bers, one has only to observe tho freight con ductors, and very often remarkable examples of retentive memories will be found. 1 have been on the road as a freight conductor for fourteen years, and in that time my memory has had a careful training in the particular 1 line of retaining numbers on the cars. I start out on a run and know tho numbers cf all the cars with which tho train is made up, and whilo some cars will bo ltft at stations along the road, and other cars will bo taken up, yet at the end of my run if on oifieer asks mo whether 1 have a car number so-and-so, I can invariably tell him without refer ing to my book. Xow, w hen it is remembered that the train may bo made up of forty cars, and that tho numbers run all tho way from tho hundreds to the twenty-five and thirty thousands, and that a dozen cars may be taken off and another dozen taken oa along the run, my statement undoubtedly seems incredible to those not familiar!' acquainted with this particular department of railroading. But it is a fact, nevertheless, and 1 have known quite a number of freight conductors who have memories of equal rententiveness. Noting the numbers on tho cars daily for years, a conductor lecomes so familiar with tho work that his memory holds these large numbers with but little difficulty. The stj-le and peculiar finish of the cars from different reads are also learned, and a conductor at a glance can tell the road to which a car be longs as far as he cau see it. Globs-Democrat. Unlucky Horseshoes. TVe had a rum customer in our jail re cently, remarked tho sheriff of an adjoining county in Kansas. I vras away when he arrived at the jail, but a day or two later, When I was making tho rounds, I saw hiru in his cell. "Hello I said. "What are you in here f or r "Are you the sheriff?" ho replied. "Yes, sir," said L "Well," ho returned, "tho community in which you livo and in which I was so unfor tunate ns to sojourn is the most intolerant I ever heard of." "How soT' I asked. "Have you nothing to do with the liquor traTlcr" "No," ho replied, "but they arrested me for superstition, and, hero I am in jaiL Tho idea cf arresting a man for superstition. This is a free country. Hadn't a man a right to be superstitious?" "Why, I guess so," I replied. "What was your superstition?" "Well, sir," said the prisoner, "my mother always told me to pick up a horseshoe when ever I foupd on j, for good luck. I picked up four in this town; they wero found in my possession, and I was arrested, tried, con victed and jaileiL" "I gues3 you're lying," said I, and with that I went out of the jail, and met the pros ecuting attorney. I asked him about the case and he said: "Those four horseshoes had a horse fas tened to them. Thai fellow is the most no torious horsethief in the state." Kansas City Journal. One of Sir. Conltlins'a Hobbies. Bathing was one of Mr. Conkling's hob bies. The operators at the Hoffman house au-'l the Lafayette place baths like to teli how they have rubbed down his manly form. One of the Hoffman house bath attendants said in the hot room there the other morning that the Senator preferred the Russian mode, and that ho had taken at one period two and three baths a week. After ho moved into tb Hoffman house annex he had the bath r-Ooiu connected with his suite fitted up especially for him. A largo porcelain tub was made j and put in, and the Senator used it every morning, lie used salt in profusion, and , often bathed with the water at a very Jov ! temperature.
