DEATH-DEALING CYCLONE
Portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama Visited By a Destructive
Storm Yesterday, Killing 200
and Injuring Absut 100.
A wind of cyclonic proportions swept
over portions of Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama late yesterday, leaving a
trail of dead and injured.
Most of the dead are negroes. Per
haps a dozen white persons were caught
in falling buildings and either fatally
injured or so seriously disabled as to
require medical attention.
The loss of life was chiefly in the
quarters of negroes, where the wind
destroyed their cabins, burying the
occupants in the debris, or in the farm
ing sections ot the country, where trees
were uprooted, telegraph and telephone
poles torn up and general destruction
became an accompaniment to a storm
which swept with almost tornado
fury through the country.

NEWS FORECAST OF
THE COMING WEEK.
(Special to the Argus.)
Washington, D. C, April 25.
The coming week holds in promise
an abundance of events that will inter
est newspaper readers. Politics, for
eign happenings, church celebrations,
conventions, sporting events and the
entertainment of the battleship fleet or
the Pacific coast will share in the pub
lic attention.
More State and district political con
ventions will be held next week dur
ing any similar period since the pres
ent campaign began. Of these the ma
jority will be of the Republican party.
Secretary Taft will carry off the honors
in the most of the States, but in the
number ol delegates he will be beaten
out by Senator Knox, for whom the
Pennsylvania State convention, to be
held at Harrisburg next Wednesday,
will instruct the sixty-eight delegates
lrom that State.
Republican conventions, State and
district, will be held in two New Eng
land States during the week, Vennoni
and Maine. From present indications
both are likely to follow the example
f Massachusetts in sending an uniu--tructed
delegation to Chicago, with
the majority of the individual mem
ners presumably lor Talt. The Tall
managers expect to get the Colorado
delegation and also have hopes of cap
turing West Virginia, whose State con
vention is to meet at Parkersbuig
Tuesday. Ot the Southern States in
which Republican State conventions
will be held during the week, Maryland
and South Carolina are regarded as
somewhat doubtful in their choice tor
the Presidency. Arkansas, Mississip
pi it. ml North Carolina are placed in
the Taft column. The anti-admisis-i
ration Republicans of Alabama will
meet in State convention in Birming
ham Wednesday and will choose a del
egation to Chicago that will oppose
Taft.
The week will likewise be one ot
great activity tor the Democrats.
Chief interest will center in the State
primy in Texas, which Las already de
veloped into one of the most bitter po
lineal contests the Lone Star State has
ever witnessed... The point at issue is
whether or not Senator J. W. . Bailey
shall be one ol the delegates-at-large
to the Denver convention. Other Dem
ocratic happenings that will attract at
tention will be the State conventions
in Connecticut and New Jersey. In
both States the signs seem to point to
uuinstmcted delegates to the national
convention.
The Presidential aspirants of both
parties will be heard in public speeches
in several parts of the country. Wil
liam J. Bryan will circle through the
Middle West, Taft will be heard Tues
day night in New York city and Gov
ernor Johnson has accepted an invita
iiOR to speak in Detroit Wednesday
nlghf.
The AmSFkan battleship fleet will
spend the entire week in the harbor ol
Santa Barbara, 'Where an elaborate
round of festivities in honor of the
orncers auu men win oe oarrtea out.
The centennial celebration of the
New York diocese will be the cynosure
of all eyes in the Catholic world, at
tended, as it will be, by all of the dig
nitaries ol the church in this country
jnd, several lrom abroad.

MRS. Fl E. HENDERSON
Caught Cold Easily.
Mrs, P. E. Henderson, 221 Ninth St., Milwaukee, Wis., writes :
"I never had any faith in patent medicines until I tried Peruoa, but my
experience with this reliable medicine has taught me that there Is one which
can be trusted, and which will not fail in time of need.
"For the past few years I have found that I caogbt cold easily, which
would settle in a most unpleasant catarrh of the head. I had to be especially
careful about teing out of evenings, and not to get chilled when dressed thin
for parties, but since I have used Peruna my general health is improved, and
my Bystem is in such good condition that even though I am exposed to in
clement weatner it no longer affects me.
I have a splendid appetite and enjoy life, being in perfect health."
The Value of Health.
Who can set a money value on
health? It is absolutely priceless.
No one in good health can folly
appreciate what It means to have
poor health. The days are long and
tedious. The nights horrible and
painful. Nothing goes right. Even
the mind becomes deranged and in
jurod by continued poor health.
Once liberated from the thraldom
of sickness words fail to express
the joy and relief.
Peruna has been the means of re
lieving more women from ill health
in the United States than, perhaps,
any other medicine.
A multitude of women stand ready
to give testimony in favor of Peruna
whenever occasion offers.
Dyspepsia Entirety Relieved.
Miss LilUe O. Martin, Shelbyville,
Tenn writes: "Everybody says I
look better than I have for two or
three years, and I sincerely thank
you for your kind advice.
"I believe your treatment has en
tirely cured me. I can eat anything
J want. 1 believe your remedies will
cure any case of indigestion or dyspepsia."
Pe-ru-na Tablets.
Por two years Dr. Hartman and his
assistants have labored incessantly to
create Peruna in tablet form, and their
strenuous efforts have just been crowned
with sncaees. I eople who object to
liquid medicines jan now secure Peruna
tablets. These tablets represent the me
dicinal ingredients of Peruna, and each
tablet is equivalent to one average dose.
Mrs. Josephine Hoist, 162 E. First St.,
Portland, Ore., writes that she was
troubled seriously with catarrh of the
throat, that she used Peruna and was
wonderfully helped in two weeks, and
in a little over two months her system
was rid of all traces of catarrh.

MISS HELEN SAUERBIER
Head and Throat.
Miss Helen Sanerbier, 815 Main St.,
St. Joseph, Mich., writes :
"Last winter I caught a sudden cold
which developed into an unpleasant ca
tarrh of the head and throat, depriving
me of my appetite and usual good spirits.
"A friend who had been cured by
Peruna advised me to try it and I sent
for a bottle at once, and I am glad to say
that in three davs the nhlee-m haw!
loosened, and I felt better, my appetite
returned and within nine days I was in
my usual good health."
