But the bill Is riot Ifkely to become a law until the De mocracy get full control of the gov ernment. The Western Rural, a good agricul tural paper of Chicago, looks nt it sensibly this way: "The Presiden tial muddle Is in full blast again In the National 3-Eouse of Representa tives, to the disgust of the people. The proceedings sometimes look a lit tle revolutionary. At a meeting of the directors of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy It.

Mr. Harris reslgn edorr account of bad health. It Is noticeable that the Pennsyl vania Republican convention did not mention or allude to President Hayes or his polioies In any shape or man lier. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat referring to this fact says: "The Pennsylvania Republicans did the Wise thing In simply ignoring the Pres ident and his administration."

ExcJiange. Congress is simply Democratic, and Democratic means treason to the country and Its best Interests. The Chicago Board of trade on tne 24th adopted resolutions deprecating the efforts now being' made by Con gressmen to reduce tbe'Uulted States Army; and after reciting the need of soldiers on our frontiers, and their possible need to check riotous and lawless proceedings in the cities and country In theinteriorof our country, ask that the army be increased to one hundred regiments of one thousand men each. Judge O. P. Mason, when attending courts, makes his presence known and ability felt every time. To be honest about the matter he would fill a seat in our National Congress-with honor to himself and credit to the State Beatrice Courier. We think a great deal of the Judge, and have been thinking of sending him to the U. H. Senate some of these times, Advertiser. Well, what are you waiting for; why don't you send him? We, too; would be pleased to see the boorish old bulldozer in the Houbb or Senate long enough for him to find out that there are a few "blger" men than himself.

But cau't it slash thB Judge aCd firive its point wlthCftft f nsultlftg dil the lawyers at the various bafa where he practices, by designating them as "timid country lawyers" as compared with the Judge? While we agree with the Express that Judge Mason Ib always able and ear nest for his client with few equals anywhere, we could not by any means dub the balanoe of the legal fraternity as timid clodhoppers: The Cincinnati Enquirer, strongly Democratic, as everybody knows, re fers to the Potter Investigation as fol lows: "There Is about as much ne cessity for a Congressional Investiga tion of the Louisiana and Florida frauds as there is for on investigation or the marital relations of George Washington and the Widow Cuetis.

Houses, Bafnsj Fortsts Tofn Down, and Horses Cnrriett a Hundred Feet If 1 Into tho Air. Madison, Wis., May 24. Last night the heavy storm was accompan ied by the remarkable phenomena of tl rain of sticks, stones, boards aud large hail. The cyclone came from the southwest, and fifteen to twenty barns are reported destroyed. A Nor wegian, living near Mt. Vernon, nar rowly escaped death, and His fatber lnlaw,NarueBergtand brother Herb sand Bergt, were killed instantly, O. B. Daily, a wealthy merchant of Mt. Verndn, was also killed. A number of prairie fire a started during the evening. A report from Oregon, Wis., says many houses were torn down near Paoll, and three or four persons killed. Great destruc tion of property and loss of life un doubtedly resulted from the storm. The destruction and sacrifice of property and life has been appalling. In the vicinity of Primrose, twenty five miles Bouthwest of this city, and frota there through Mt. Vernon to Paoli, the storm seems to have done wide-spread damage. From twenty five to thirty barns and farm houses were blown down, some of them be ing utterly destroyed, and the debris carried off before the mighty ava lanche of wind, some of It falling In Lake Men dofa, near this city. Some 12 or 18 persons are known to be kill ed and large numbers seriously in jured. Graphic, yet fearful descrip tions are given of the terrible eueots of the" tornado. Teams and wagons are reported as taken from the roads and carried into the air and dashed to the ground. At Dr. Fox's, near Ore gon, two valuable horses in a pasture were taken up a hundred feet in the nlr, carried fifty yards and dashed to the' earth, killing them instantly. The storm came from the direotion of Mineral Point, where it wrought such terrible damage, raised from the ground seven or eight miles south west of Madison, and again break ing the earth near Ft. Atkins, northeast of here, near Primrose and Paoll. The storm seemed from a half to a mile in width, and swept every thing before it, mowing down trees, fences, farm houses and shubbery as with asoythei Among those reported killed and injured are the following! Mt. Ver non, Wm. Osborne, wife and daugh ter, seriously injured; Paoli, family of A. E. Clarke, slightly injured; Oregon, wife and ohildren of M. Mc Carthy, badly injured; Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, seriously Hurt, cannot recover; Montrose, wife of John Galena, kill ed; others badly injured. The Dubuque Herald has the fol lowing speoial concerning the torna do at Mineral Point, Wis. : The terrible tornado whioh struok Mineral Point Thursday evening, en tered from a southwest direction. It first struck the lead-smeltitag furnace of James Spencer, tearing it almost to ruins. It next carried off the house of John Coleman, badly injuring Mr. Coleman, his two daughters, aud Typ Allen, who were in the house at the time. It then Btruok the residence of John Spensley, oarrying the house from Its foundation, and in another instant shattering it to splinters. His bam was then taken up and carried off and the horse which was in the barn away with it, and neither, horse or barn, or any portion of either of tbem, have been found. Friends of Mr. Spensley from Dubuque, some of whom were in the house at the time the tornado struck it, escaped by tak ing refuge in the cellar, but Mrs. Wal ler, mother of John Wallerand Mrs. Spensley, was carried off with the house. The house of Mr. Lofart was next uplifted, and was lifted from its foundation in an Instant and shiver ed to atoms, carrying with it Mrs. Lofard, whose body was found 100 yards distant, mangled In a. fearful manner. The roof of Mr. Addington's stone house was taken up in the air, and carried a hundred yards. Benj. Bennett's house was totally destroy pd, and Mrs. Bennett thrown over a woodpile, escaping with but little in jury. The housps of James Prince and William Jaoka were destroyed, while a barn situated between them wbb left uninjured. At the brewery of C. Gllmann the storm did the greatest damage, carrying off the houses of Mr. Gllmann and Mr. Ad ams, and badly injuring a Miss Zim mer. The brewery building and barn connected therewith were total ly demolished and a number of valu able horses killed. Loss to Mr. Gll mann will reach upwards of $15,000 to $20,000. The houses situated In the summer" garden of Jnhn Jeuck, opposite the brewery buil'di'ng were destroyed, and Mrs. Myers, and Ma ry Jeuck were killed!- Mr. JBohan'a family, who lived a short distance from the gardens were dangerously Injured, and Mrs Bohan died about midnight. The house of Martin Oda wa was reduced to ruins. Mr. Beards ley's house and barn were carried sev en and eight rods from the founda tions. Wm. Looking's house was taken, and nothing left but a few pieoes of furniture. A schoolhouse, about two and a half miles east of the oity, was carried off with the teaoher and scholars. Two scholars, a broth er and sister, were killed, and the teaoher Blightly Injured. The teach er, while holding one of the smaller scholars in herarm3, was thrown sev eral rods. Most of tho children are unhnrfc. The storm In no way abated after it left the olty, but seemed to increase in fury, breaking down everything before it; Mr. Ooley, a prominent man, was killed in the town of Wald wick. as well as one or two Norwegi ans, whoso namps cannot be learned. IN ILLINOIS. Chicago, May 24. About 6 o'clock last evening a tornado struck a settle ment about three miles from Barring- ton, a Chicago suburb, and devasta ted the country for a radius of about two miles. The farm house of Wm. Brunes was completely demolished, Mrs. Brunes Instantly killed, and two young children carried through the air by the whirlwind and hurled dead to the ground, a distance of twenty rods away. A laborer was lifted from his feet, and on striking terra firma again, his legs were broken by the shook. No other damage to life was reported, but the destruction of prop erty was considerable. Further account of the destruction of the Spensley property at Mineral Point says twelve persons were in the bouse, all of wtiom Baved themselves by going into the cellar, except a Mrs. Waller, who failed to reach that place of safety before the house" was carried away. A person that was present says, The windows of the house were blown in, the glass and sash falling like hall upon the .helpless women, the doors flew open, the house was cleft in twain, and the strong air grasped the form of Mrs. Waller, and after bearing It aloft about four hun dred feet dashed her to the ground, nnon whloh she fell a lifeless cornse. with two arms broken, and her body! otherwise bruised Her shoes were taken from her feet iind carried away on the wings of a furious wind. The house was entirely demolished and swept from the foundation-, leav ing the terrified wonife'ri and Children on the site. Part df the hnuae wae found one mile away, and a rafter of the house was found tfve? a mile dis tant, driven over five feet Into the ground. A large barn and carriage-house stood about 300 feet northeast of the house, which contained several bug gies and cutters, horses, eto. The barn and contents, oxceptthe horses, were a total wreck. The hub of one of the wheels of Mr. Waller's buggy was cut out as if done by a piece of machinery made for the purpose, the other part of the wheel or buggy not being in the least Injured. One of the cutters could not be found anywhere. The debris at the barn was lifted in the air and taken in an opposite direc tion from the passage of the oyolone, which was a strange and, sebmlngly, unaccountable phenomenon. Some of the killed In that vicinity Were Mrs. Waller, John Coleman, Mrs. Leonard, Dan Zimmera and daughter, of Highland, two children of Mr. BeardBley, Mr. and Mrs. Bo han, Wm. Ooley, of Waldwioh, and Mr. Cramer. A Fort AtkinBon special says, It Btruok the ground at the west side of Cedar. Lake, and passed eastward, .taking a Btrip whroh would average about thirty rods wide, although in some places It" was half a mite wide. It ran to BulwinklesvIUe, a distance of sixteen or eighteen miles, before its fury abated in the least. Cedar Lake, southeast of Cambridge, Is three miles long and two miles wide. It Btruok the west half of the lake, and eye-witnesses say that all the water was rais ed up in the'ain about 200 feet and hurled over on the eastern half. It took the water up so olean that the whole bottom was visible on the west side. It then struck Oakland Center, blew down the brick Town Hall and the brick school house, taking one of the soholars aud carrying him a num ber of rods, and despoiling him in the grave yard. He is somewhat bruised. A ludy by the name of Hall, living in the town hall, lost everything but one chair. She Was slightly injured. It, then took the roof fioni the new German Church, and lifted itupabout 200 feet, held It there for a moment, and then hurled it away over forty rode. The churoh was a new briok structure, and there is hardly a brick left in its place. In this vioinity a very large barn of Wm. Ward was blown down and two horses killed. His wind mill was ruined and orchard destroyed'. Samuel Chapman's barn was unroofed, Geo. Chaughney, Over sol, John Danells, Kriprier"' Hawk, Mrs. Witchey, John Grose, Mussoht, C. Curtis, and many others had build ings, orchards, fences, everything des troyed. The dlspatoh says, "The damage to fences, trees, and orchards Is terrible. Board fences ,wera taken up, the posts driven down in the meadows and grain fields. The boards were slivered up fine, and the slivers are stuck ail over the fields, so that mowing with maohlnes will be im possible. Rail fences had the lead. Rails flew anywhere and everywhere going clear through houses, barns and horses ; flying through windmills and windows, and at last shooting down Into some field ; driving themselves deep into the ground. Grain is flat. Everything looks as If It bad. been combed. Large hickory trees were mowed down as easily as oorn would be. Parts of the buildings are Btrewn all through the fields. Dead hogs and poultry are strewn all over. Live stook runs at large over the fields. Some families are destitute, ati'd' out side aid will probably be necessary. It is the worst s'cene of destruction Wis consin ever experienced in tho form of a tornado. Only an eve-witness can comprehend it; ITEJIS OF INTEREST. Colonel Bob Ingersoll, if correotly reported, believes that-General Grant will be the next President. Vlnnie-Ream, the Boulptrees, is to be married in a few days. No more marble men for her. In spite of the peaceful rumors, the massing of Austrian troops near the Danube and Save continues actively. Between the drouth, the wind and the worm, says the Boulder (Col.) News, the wheat prospeot Is not very flattering The "Mexiconized DemoGraoy." The Cincinnati Gazette askst "Will they move to Mexico? It will be bad for Mexico." Foster, of Ohio, a particular friend of the President's, has been gerry mandered into a hopelessly democrat ic congressional district. An Illinois farmer gives it as bis opinion, from experiments, that the Califomia'fodder known as alfalfa, is not a sucoess in that etate. Miss Dr. Eliza F. Petrie has been admitted to membership in the Mor gan County, III., Medical Society. She Is a regular graduate in mediolne and a practicing physician. The Mexican minister at Washing ton haa advices to the effect that re cent revolutionary attempts have fail ed, and there 1b now no armed resist ance to the Diaz government. The Trustees of Provincetown, Maes., have made up their minds that they will have no more profanity In the streets, and have oriered s rigid enforcement of the law on that sub ject, General B. F. Butler Is a member of Potter's committee on fraud. If the General gets that off eye of his properly trained on the Democracy they will wih for some other" man in his place. Less time spent in rehashing the disputes of the last Presidential elec tion and more in-providing against a repetition of them lh the future, Is what the country now demands of Congress. A sugar beet faotory is to be started! in Healdsburg, Cal. It is proposed to erect works witb o capacity 6'f tfboct 40 tons of sugar per diem, whic'h' will require the planting of over GOO fores in beets. Ik Is hard to prevent a roan like Hon. Alexander Stephens from get ting a hearing. The uncourteous rer fusal to hear him in the House only made his views more Important and his Influence greater. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, in an article which the Charleston Journal of Commerce indorses, says: "The rock of danger to the Demooraoy is that, intoxicated by succees, they may resort to proceedings against the Pres ident which would be little short of revolution, If not the thing Itself." Mrs. Mary C. Tillotson, of New Jer sey, the female dress reformer contin ues to perambulate the streets of Bal timore, daily, clad in the attire of a male, and draws orowds of admiring spectators. She is fifty-eight years of age, of kindly, pleasant countenance possesses considerable culture, and is a thorough and enthusiastic worker in tho oause Bhe has espoused. Tho Hon. Ga-IuBha1 A. Grow thlnkB the Pennsylvania Nationals made the best possible nominations for them selves. He believes they will poll a larger vote than they did ItfstFall, and that their strength will come from the Republican green baokers of the West ern counties and from the labor ele ment of the antbraoite coal-regions, whioh has heretofore voted with the Demooratio party.
