In the provinces the Imperial edict of the

imports three and half million quintals of rye
annually from Kiissln. Hyo is now dearer
than wheat on the continent. Wheat will
therefore take its place for some time.

slstablo tempest like so many pipe stems.
Cellars were Hooded out , houses were tipped
over , bill boards demolished and loose boxes
and boards were scattered by the terrific on-
slaucht of wind and water.
The new Vulcanite rooting factory was
blown over and totally wrecked. The loss
was covered by a tornado insurance policy.
In the midst of the storm an electric lijjht
wire crossed a telephone wire and forty-seven
telephones were burned out. Hundreds ol
shade trees were killed or injured. Water
leaked in the Alexander block on Second
street and Lincoln avenue nt an open up
stairs hnll door and dripped down into the
notion store of J. V. Uowells and did much
damage there. Air. Uowell'b cellar is Hooded
