at their chapel, corner of North street and Pacific
Sunday, June 11, a tornado struck
near Salix, Iowa, killing three people
outright, fatally injuring a fourth. The
home of Mrs. Hassell, a widow, was
whirled away, injuring none of the
eight occupants. The Malloy family,
who took refuge in the cellar, remained
only about five minutes and the father
suggested that the cloud was only rain.
They came up and in an instant the
house was demolished, the dead and in
jured being rcattered among the ruins
The homes of Phil, and Joe Berger and
Patrick O'Xeil were reduced to kindling
wood. Pat Mallow says that houses,
barns, lire stock and human beings were
sucked up by the terrible funnel-shaped
cloud, the air appearing to be filled
with wrecked buildings and debris for
half a mile high. This was the sixth
tornado in that section this season. -At
Homer, Nebraska, a revival tent was
blown over and an unknown woman
fatally injured.

European Wheat Prospects
London, June 12. The Mark Lane
Express, in its weekly crop report today
says, Belgium, Holland, Italy and parts
of Austria-Hungary, promise average
wheat crops. In France, Germany,
Spain and Poland the crops are fair and
i there are hopes for a full, average crop.
In Russia the drouth is too prevalent
to allow a hopeful yield of either wheat
or rye. In Roumania, Servia and Bul
garia a short wheat crop is regarded as
inevitable.

Rebuke by General Washlegt That
Evidently Frightened tae Owner.
Major William Pierce left behind
him a partial record of the debates in
Philadelphia which supplement those
of Madison, Yates and King; also the
following anecdote:
When the convention first opened at
Philadelphia, there were a number ol
propositions brought forward as great
leading principles for the new govern
ment to be established for the United
States. A copy of these propositions was
given to each member, with an injunc
tion to keep everything a profound se
cret One morning, by accident, one of
the members dropped his copy of the
propositions, which, being luckily pick
ed up by General Mifflin, was presented
to General Washington, our president,
who put it in his pocket. After the de
bates of the day were over and the ques
tion for adjournment was called for tht
general arose from his seat and, previ
ous to his putting the question, address
ed the convention in tho following man
ner: "Gentlemen, I am sorry to find that
some one member of this body has been
so neglectful of the secrets of the con-1
vention as to drop in the statehouae a
copy of their proceedings, which by ac
cident was picked up and delivered tc
me this morning. I must entreat gen
tlemen to be more careful, lest out
transactions get into tho newspapers and
disturb the public repose by premature
speculations. I know not whose papci
it is, but there it is (throwing it down
on the table). Let him who owns it take
it" At the same time he bowed, picked
up his hat and quitted tho room with a
dignity so severe that every person
seemed alarmed. For my part, I waf
extremely so, for, putting my hand in
my pocket, I missed my copy of the
same paper, but, advancing up to the
table, my fears soou dissipated. I found
it to be the handwriting of another per
son. When I went to my lodgings at
the Indian Queen, I found my copy in a
coat pocket which I had pulled off that
morning. It is something remarkable
that no person ever owned the paper.

FIRST NEBRASKA SAILS SOON.
Washington, June 9. Special Tele
gram. Although two other volunteer
regiments havo the priority of leaving
the Philippines the First Nebraska will
in all probability get away in the lead,
according to a cablegram from General
Otis. In this message General Otis
stated the Oregon regiment would leave
Manila about June 12 and would go di
rect to Portland, its point of muster
out, on the transports Ohio and New
port. The Nebraska troops, according
to General Otis, will sail in a day or two
on the transport Hancock, which is con
sidered a most comfortable ship.
This disposition of tho returning vol
unteers nas been made at the instance
of the Oregonians, who elect to leave
later and divide the regiment in order to
secure pleasant accommodations. The
Nebraskaus will be mustered out in
San Francisco and will be given travel
pay to Omaha.
General Otis has been instructed by
the president to have all arrangements
made to insure the returning troops a
comfortable voyage and have them so
placed that sickness will be next to an
impossibility by reason of close contact
It is said by the officials of the War de
partment that instructions have been
given the officials at Manila not to load
the transports too heavily, in order that
the troops may be returned to their
mustering out point with little or no
sickness.
The cablegram from Manila that Ag
uinaldo has dissolved the Filipino con
gress and proclaimed himself dictator
is entirely discredited by the State de
partment Nearly all the members of
the Filipino congress, it is asserted
from authoritative sources in Manila,
have surrendered themselves to the
United States forces and are now in
Manila, where it would be possible to
call together a majority of Agninaldo's
late officers. This, however, is not the
intention of either the Philippine com
mission or1 General Otis to do. a it

"I'm sorry," said tho teller, "but

"But," protested the woman, "1

on the check. You don't doubt that dc
you?"
Tho teller looked embarrassed.
"It's only a form, madam," he said,
"but we must insist on some identifica
tion." A happy thought struck the woman.
Her name was on her handkerchief.
"Would the name on my handker
chief be any identification?" she asked.
The teller replied that it would.
"Well, then," said she majestically,
handing over the square of linen, "per
haps you'll be good enough to give me
the money now!"
Tho teller examined the handkerchief
and handed it back without a word. In

Way They Are Se Severe aaa Ben
Shonld Be Treated.
It is commonly said that a sprained
joint is worse than a broken bone, and
this is often true, for in a severe sprain
the injury is really greater than in a
simple fracture. The ankle is perhaps
the most frequently sprained of all the
joints, though the knee, elbow and
wrist are also very liable to be injured,
in falls especially.
A sprain of a joint varies greatly in
severity. It may consist of a simple
wrench, without the tearing of any of
the ligaments, or it may bo a moro ex
tensive injury, stopping just short of a
dislocation.
In a moderately severe case one or
more of the ligaments of the joint will
be torn slightly, or possibly completely
across. The membrane beneath the lig
aments, which retains the lubricating
fluid of the joint will be ruptured, per
mitting the escape of more or less of
this fluid into the parts about and giv
ing rise sometimes to a considerable
swelling. This swelling may be increas
ed also by an effusion of fluid into the
joint, especially if inflammation sets in,
and finally there is usually a slight or
even sometimes a quite pronounced es
cape of blood into the tissues, and this,
gradually working to the surface, ap
pears as a black and blue stain.
In more severe cases the tendons pass
ing over the joint and attaching the
muscles which move it to the bones may
suffer considerable damage, or one ol
them may be broken or torn from its at
tachment bringiug with it a sliver of
bona Where so much harm has been
dono to all the parts bones, ligaments,
tendons and muscles it is easy to un
derstand that much pain will result and
that tho euro will be tedious.
In the treatment of a sprain the first
thing to be aimed at is to relieve pain
and prevent inflammation, then to favor
healing of the torn structures, and after
that to restore the use of the limb.
The first of these objects is accom
plished by absolute rest of the injured
part the limb being raised, and by lead
and opium wash, a spirit lotion, or such
other local applications as the physician
may prescribe. Swelling is prevented in
a measure and pain is sometimes re
lieved by firm bandaging with a flan
nel bandage.
When the swelling, heat- and pain
are goue, the limb should not be used

The German emperor as king of Prus
sia has the sole right to name streets,
and he has just refused his consent to
tho proposal to call two streets after the
names of Dr. Bertram and Dr. Langer
haus, two popular members of the mu
nicipal council. His majesty disapproves
of such a course during the lifetime of
the godfathers. This apparently refers
to men of official standing only, whose
political opinion might change after
the streets had been named, for the
Mommsenstrasse in Charlottenburg was
recently passed with approval. Some
aew German streets have a tendency to
long names. "Prince August von Wur

nothing more. The houses have still to

morning. Nearly every night ho brings
in bis car two or three coops of live do
mestic ducks. During the night, when
he has no baggage to deliver at small
stations, it has been his habit and privi
lege to lie down on an improvised couch
and doze. With tho advent of the ducks
the dozing stopped. The almost constant
quacking of the ducks, who could not
understand their 'strange environment,
would not permit of sleep.
For many nights as he lay awake he
planned relief. He thought of strangling
tbe ducks or chloroforming them. But
neither expedient seemed good. One
night a bright idea came to him. After
he had put it into execution the ducks
were silent.
The next night he had two coops of
unusually vociferous ducks. As soon as
it came time for sleep he wrenohed a
slat from one of the coops, reached in
and pulled out a duck. From his pocket
he took a small rubber band, which he
slipped over the duck's bill just back of
the nostrils. The duck tried to quack,
but the rubber band, while it stretched
s little, would not permit the duck to
open its bill far enough to use its
tonguo. Only a murmur came from it
One by one the ducks ware muzzled,
and the baggage man rested comforta
bly. The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received a lot
of ducks with rubber bands around
their bills, and when the bands were re
moved the shouts of protest from the
ducks wtre deafening. irnfw City

"By Hook or Crook."
In old times tbe poor of a manor were
permitted to obtain as fuel the dead
wood from tbe surrounding woodland.
The dead twigs and branches which
were beyond their reach they were al
lowed to lop off with a hook or a crook.
There is a document among the rec
ords of the town of Bodmin which gives
the right to the burgesses of the town,
nnder the concession of the prior of
soumin, "to near ana carry away on
their backs and in no other way the lop,
crop, hoop, crook and bag wood in the
prior's wood of Dunmecr."
Another part of this paper mentions
this as "a right with hook and crook to
lop, crop and carry away fuel, etc., in
the same wood."
The date of this record is 1525. New
