Frexost, O., April 21. A tornado,
aooompanied by a heavy rainfall, swept
orer the northwestern part of Sandnaky
county, killing; two persons, injuring a
Buraber of others and doing; great dam
age to buildings and other property.
The tornado came from the southwest
with great fury and every building and
tree in its path was swept away. After
smarting a road bridge and blowing a
tag tree across a Wheeling and Lake
Erie freight train, which crushed the
caboose and came near killing a number
of trainmen, the wind began to play
havoc with farm buildings. The barns
of Jacob Engler, J. E. Hefflinger, Up
ton Burgon and Anthony Swint first
went down before it. Then the house
of James Greene was destroyed.
Greene's aged father, William L.
Greene, was killed outright, his wife
fatally hurt and the baby carried across
the road in its cradle. The child es
caped uninjured. Next the barn of
AmosHetrick, in which Hetrickand
John Low were shearing sheep, was
crushed. Low was blown across a field
against a tree, being instantly killed.
Other buildings destroyed were barns
of AlFairchild, Perry Parrish, George
Waggoner and Charles Tucker. Tuck
era child was badly hurt. At Book
town, a hamlet near here, nearly all the
buildings were destroyed, but there was
no loss of life. The storm covered a
wide track aad it is possible that fur
ther damage will be reported.

Jahestowk, N. D., April 19. At one
of the flour mills in this city there is
now in use a combined wheat washing
and drying machine. It is the inven
tion of Walter Miller of this city. The
wheat entering this machine passes
through water for the first and second
washing, and then under a number of
brushes, upon a revolving disk. The
grain is then thrown against a perfor
ated cylinder and falls upon a second
revolving cylinder. This process is re
peated. There are 14 revolving
cylinders, with fans between the cylin
der to dry off the grain. The wheat
passes through the machine to the rol
lers, and is ground into flour. Several
attempts have been made in this state
to wash wheat, or clean it from smut
or dirt before grinding it. But there
has in each case been so much dampness
in the grain as to spoil the flour. Mr.
Miller, however, has overcome this, and
has now applied for a patent.

London, April 21. The South Afri

of public attention and apprehensions
for the safety of Englaud in Matabele
Iand and particularly in Buluwayo are
not yet abated. There is an apprecia
ble sense of relief over the news that a
gupply train from Mafeking has got
through to Buluwayo and that the rein
forcements of imperial troops from
Mafeking are being rapidly pushed for
ward for the relief of the place, which
is to all intents and purposes beleag

natives that numerous skirmishes are
occurring almost in the outskirts of the

reply is not accorded a very kindly re

Chamberlain The Times says: "If
President Kruger and his supporters
willfully close their eyes to obvious facts
and obdurately refuse to redress the

No two Bradford houses are better
known in tbe United States, either
among our dry goods houses or consum

The former, simply as merchants and
shippers, tbe latter as raaaufacturers, are
regarded as the badness leaders of Brad
ford. Were it not for tbe enormous trade
tbe Henrys do with us and the sub
stantial alios the Listers have secured
from American manufacturers they
would today still be but "common fry."
As the Henry house is the king of Brad
ford's Anglo-American shippers, let as
note what this present sariaT has done
for it The chairman of the company,
Sir Henry Mitchell, speaking at its an

said:
When the shareholders assembled 12
months ago, it was at the close of a very
trying and very difficult year, and the
directors had to put before them business
results which were considerably less than
tbe average for a number of years past,
and even less than in any year since the
company was formed. He was very glad
to meet tbe shareholders with a very
much more satisfactory report and very
much better results. Heart Hear! As
they would see from tbe balance sheet,
the net divisible profits were about 46,
000 more than they were last year, and
nearly 20,000 more than tbe highest
amount realized since the company was
formed. He hoped that tho results would
be considered satisfactory. Then, speak
ing of the general prospects of trade, he
said those shareholders who were at the
last annual meeting would remember
that he held out some hope of improved
trade, and stated that the company had
orders on their books of upward of
600,000 to commence the business of
the year. He was now very glad to be
able to say that at the present time the
orders amounted to nearly 1,000,000.
Applause. So that their prospects, at
any rate, weie somewhat encouraging
for the new year.
The first year of our Democratic tariff
in the free raw material of our woolen
manufacturers has enabled a British
woolen manufacturing concern to re
cord profits of "the highest amount
realised since the company was farmed ' '
It also began the second year of our free
trade experiment with orders in hand
that amounted to nearly $5, 000,000. No
wonder the British stockholders greeted
these remsrks of Sir Henry with "ap
plause," as they compared the two an
nual reports of 1894 and 1895, a digest
of which is given in the following par
allels: a. a & morar co. (limited), Bradford.
Annual report, ISM. Annnal report, 1605.

Dmdead...5 per cent Dmdead....7 per ceat
Reserve fond. .53.000 Reserve fond.. 100.009
Carried forw'd...810 Carried forwU.M.7
Although only a 7 per cent dividend
was paid, yet the chairman explained
that tho company had really earned 12
per cent, but that this was one of the
years when it was prudent to add a
large sum to the reserve fund.
But what have Lister & Co. done?
Although they cannot present so roseate
a statement as their neighbors, yet their
100 per cent increase in dividend is
considerable. Here is their balance
sheet also:
LISTER ft CO., KAXXIKOHAM MILLS, BBADTORD.
Annnal report, 18M. Annnal report, 1865.
Profit 13,223 Profit 73.382
Dividend. .2 per cent Dividend 4 per ceat
Carried forw'd.... Carried forw'd.. 4.882
Tho profit of 15,223 being Insufficient to
meet tbo payment of a dividend, tbe directors
took 34,437 las. Sd. from tbo reserve fond so as
to cover 15,487 ISs. 7L deficiency. This enabled
them to pay 2 per cent dividend for 1864.
What American woolen manufacturer
can present so favorable a statement of
his last year's trade as either of these
two British concerns? And still the
Democratic adherents profess to believe
in free trade, and by their professions
try to make others believe that they are
Americans while they practically place
orders for $5,000,000 worth of goods,
with but one British manufacturing
firm, as a starter for its new year's
trade.
Wire nails ware worth $2.10 per keg
on Jan. 1, 1892. Bat the free traders,
by reducing the McKialey protective
tariff, got the price up to $2.52 per keg
on Jan. 1, 189C With a little more time
and absolute free trade, we anight have
reached tbe old antebellum priosof 1?
ceamapouad for wire nails. Bat the
people want protection and cheap prices.
The free traders are getting in their
ruinous work on the big concerns that
they left over from the crash of 189S
and 1894. Two failares in New York,
each for $500,000, and one in Chicago
for $300,000, all on the same day, form
a pretty good record for tho Democratic
party as the results of that "tariff for
revenue only."

There comes from Chicago the fol
lowing, which is as wonderful ss some
of the other things that have recently
been discovered in regard to tbe Roent
gen ray:
Prof. H. P. Pratt and Prof. Hurii
Wightman announce to tbe world that
diphtheria and typhoid fever germs are
absolutely killed by tbe Roentgen ray.
This statement is made without reserve.
The decision was reached this evening
in the laboratory, when the last of the
germs which had been exposed to the
ray failed to show signs of life under the
glare tbe deadly bacilli remaining idle
and inactive in the midst of the beet and
most tempting imitation of human tissue.
Four new colonies of epidemic breeders,
labeled as - cholera, tuberculosis, hog
cholera and diphtheria were located in
tubes filled with nutriment, Prof. Pratt
turned the current into the great cell
and the ray was thrown into the group
of bacilli. Tbe magic agency was allow
ed to work two minutes. The two phy
sicians are risking their professional
reputation by the prophecy that not one
of the four groups will ever be able to
recover. They are certain of tbe effect
on tbe diphtheria confident concerning
the other three.

Madison Chronicle: John Esh, about
four weeks ago got a sand bur in one of
his feet through a hole in his shoe aad
has been having a serious time of it.'
His foot swelled out of all proportions
and he is just getting able to be around
with the aid of a cane.... A cow belong
ing to Dr. Hutchinson gave birth to a
monstrosity Monday night in the shape
of a calf with eight legs and two tails.
Tbe animal only lived about one minute
after birth. A great many people called
Tuesday morning and viewed the cur
iosity. The doctor had it boxed and
shipped to Sessions A Bell, taxidermists
of Norfolk, who will mount the animal.
It is a mighty queer freak of nature. . . .
C. C. Wyatt, a former well known resi
dent of this county, died at San Diego,
Calif., April 9. He was a trine over 60
years of age. Mr. Wyatt came to Ne
braska in 1872. locating tea miles west
of Madison. In 1880-'81. he reDreaeatad
Madison county in the state legislature.
Seward Democrat: On last Friday a
couple of strangers came into Seward,
selling a patent end-gate and tbe right.
They went out west of town to Levi
Haters and sold a gate and the right to
Seward county, he signing what he
supposed was a contract for the deliv
ery of the gate. On Saturday they came
back to Seward and tried to sell tbe
supposed contract to the banks, which
had turned out to be a genuine note for
$150, which they offered to t?ke $100.
They applied at tbe First National bank,
and would have succeeded in selling the
note, if they had not asked such a low
price for it as Mr. Hater's note is con
sidered as good as gold. The cashier,
Wm. Langworty became suspicions that
all was not right, and he jumped on his
wheel and rode out to Mr. Hafer's, who
informed him that tbe note was a swin
dle. They came into town to look the
parties up, but in the meantime they
had left for greener fields, going north.
Sheriff Remy was put on their track and
succeeded in arresting them several
miles north. He brought them back,
the main hand at the game gave his
name as J. W. McCreatb, of Saunders
county, and the other was used as a sort
of witness. The fellow gave up Mr.
Hafer's note and he refused to prose
cute, and tbe sheriff turned them loose.
If a few of such traveling swindlers were
prosecuted and sent to tbe penitentiary,
it would result in ridding the country of
that many, and scaring some others at
least. Confidence schemes of all kiade
should be thwarted.

Now that the people of the United
States have spoken in thunder tones for
its vigorous prosecution all along the
lines, a universal confidence has seiaed
fast hold upon the American mind that
business can now be safely pressed in all
directions; that existing manufactories
may be confidently enlarged and new
ones established in all departments of
American needs, and with the protec
tion party holding all the commanding
positions in the near future an era of
unsurpassed material prosperity may be
reasonably assured, beginning with the
coming decade. With protection estab
lished as a national policy the country
may safely blazon across the face of the
sky, "Progress and prosperity." Wil

fTee trade and no foreign policy ad

The man who poses to be better than his

Old and tried officials in finance and

upon to reinstate confidence, business
