EXAS TORNADO Sweeps Several SmaSI Towns Out of Existence SOME LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED Wind Assumes Proportion of Tor nado in Some Sections and Results in Deaths of Two and Injury to Many Other Persons, Besides Great Damage to Cattle. Fort Worth, Tex;, Special A storm of wind and rain which was general throughout a considerable area in northern Texas, and which at some places assumed the proportion of a tornado, according to meagre reports received here has resulted in the loss of at least two lives, the injury of many other persons, and great dam age to property and crops. Several villages are wiped outj but because of the prostration of both telephone and telegraph wires; details are al most impossible to obtain. At Depout, one of the largest vil lages in Lamar county, 20 miles from Pans, the storm passed northeast, cutting a path about 100 yards wide in the residence portion on the east side. The Baptist parsonage was blown to pieees, its timbers and the furniture scattered over the ground. R. II. Brysuu's residence was demol ished and several other residences damaged. As far as can be ascer tained, no one was hurt at this place. Crops are badly damaged and many fences and barns were blown away. It is reported, that at Palesboro, in Red River county, the wife and child of Andrew Bell were hurt. A teriftie wind passed over Sulphur Springs about 2 o'clock. The damage in Sulphur Springs was trival, but west of there the propor tions of a tornado, carrying death and great property damage in its wake, were assumed. A passenger train on the Cotton Belt was held up by the train crew until the storm passed. The telephone and telegraph wires in this section are down and details of the storm are almost im possible to obtain. At Antioeh, or Pleasant Grove, as it is also called, the whole village was practically destroyed. Antioeh is about seven miles north of Sulphur Springs. This is the tornado belt and most of the homes are provided with storm cellars. The home of William Lemmons was completely destroyed, entailing a loss of about $10,000. 'Three barns' on the place were also destroyed and many head of live stock killed. A tenant on the place named Brazil, with his family, consisting- of bis wife and seven children, saw the storm coming and made a run fr a cellar. Brazil was caught by the wind and crushed by flying debris. Five of the children reached the cel lar in safety, but Mrs. Brazil and two of the children were fearfully hurt and fears are entertained for their recovery.

Father1 ASSUREDLY HE WAS MURDERED Theory Advance That Child Wa.3 Murdered and Placed Y hare Found as th-3 Marsh Had Bern Btsned Off and Cleared l our 5cc-l3 Ago, and Child's Clothing Bore no Evidence of Fire, Dover, Del., Special-. The body of little Horace Marvin, who disappear ed from tiic farm of his father at Kitis Hammock, near heie, March 4, was found Saturday afternoon in a marsh in a fair state of preservation. The spot where the body was found is about a haif mile east of the farm house toward t he Dele ware river. Kitts Hammock is between seven and eight miles from here and is Without com munication with any places From in foi inaiion brought by a horseman it is learned that the clothes on the child were the same as he wore on the dav he disappeared. The body was found lying face downward. Dr. Marvin at the moment the body was found was not ready to say whether the body of his ehild was placed where it was found or whether he believes the child wandered into the marsh and lost his life. The marsh was frozen over the day the boy disappeared. There is a theory that the child was muTdered and his' body placed in the marsh as the long grass where the body was found was burned and cleared four weeks ago. It is said the body lay under a pile of grass and that the clothing; showed no evi dence of having been touched bv fire. ' ' Hunter Discovers Body. The body was found by OIlie Pleas anton, a neighbor, who was gunning for ducks on the marsh, lie had the body borne to the house and cov ered with a sheet . Pleasanton has figured in the case since Horace was lost, having- first reported that he had seen the two strange men who ap peared there enquiring about the top ography of the country three days be fore the disappearance. When OIlie Pleasanton came upon the child's body he found the cloth ing intact. His tiny woolen reefer was bul toned up securely about the body and not an article of clothing which he had on when he disappear ed was missing. His knit eap was pulled over his face and his mittens were on his hands. Dr. Marvin says he searched over the same marsh nearly every day since the disappearance and with de tectives burned the grass of the plac;? four weeks ago but saw no signs of the body. The theory that the child has been recently placed where he was found is supported by the fact that Dr. Mar vin as w.ell as detectives who stood on the spot when they burned the tall sage grass from it. Further than this the marsh has been trampled over time and again within the past week by t lie neighbors and no sign of the child was seen. Dr. Marvin went on a run to the piace described by Pleasanton ' and gently picked up the little form, puil ing his cap from the face to make sure that it. was his boy. Being sat isfied that it was his son, the doctor wrapped the remains in a sheet and carried them to the house, where he notified the family. Met With Foul Play. Dr. Marvir, is convinced that his son met with foul play. Shortly af ter the body was found he said: "Though I am unable to examine Horace closely until the coroner ar rives, I am certain he was murdered. Iris body brought sick and lef-: ly ing in the marsh to give the impres sion that he wandered out there and died. The clothing- showed no si-;ns of being burned, as would undoubt edly been the ea.be had the body hi--! there when the fire swept over the marsh." Four Small Children Cremated. West Branch, Mich., Special. Four small children were burned to death in the home of Martin Campbeil, eight miles from here. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell had gone to a dance a mile away from their home, leaving their six little ones locked in the bouse. They left a big tire in the stove .an.l in some manner this igiutcd the house, which was destroyed. The children were awakened by the llames and the two oldest, aged 8 and 10 years, managed to escape. The four smaller ones perished. Double Sentrrcs For Wrecking church. Wilkesbarre. Pa., Special.

FULLAM I INJHARGE Americap.Officer Takes Hand in Affairs OF SOUTH AMERICAN PROVINCE Commander of United States Gunboat Marietta at Puerto Corfea Orfierd Arrest cf Chief of Police and Pat rolman, Nicaraguan Officers and Soldiers Following Brutal Assault on faegro. Puerto Cortez. "General" Davis, colored, was brutally assaulted at Pu erto Cortez, April 27, by Nicaragauu soldiei-Sj and may die. Commander Fnllam, of the United States gunboat Marietta, ordered the L-irCM of Nicaraugan officers and sol diers and if the man dies they will be tried for murder. Fullam has as sumed charge. Davis is not an officer. His name is "General" and his home is at Boyce Station, Louisiana. Commander Fullam 's orders were sharp, and decisive, "Arrest the chief of police, and the policemen engaged in the assault, put ihem in irons, and send them aboard sliip. Arrest the Nicaraugan officers and men engaged in the assault and hold them for or ders." It was thought possible that an aj tempt would be made to release the soldiers and police captured by the bluejackets, so men were landed from the Paducah to occupy Laguna and additional men were landed from the Marietta. The Pa ru cah moved to a position fronting the Nicaraguan cuartels while the Marietta covered the cuar tels in the port. Captain Fullam, finding that the civil authorities were incapable of maintaining order, that the govern ment of Tegucigalpa was a mere pro visional agreement of certain leaders and that so far gave no evidence of stability, decided' to ignore the au thorities and recognize the only or ganised and disciplined force here un der General Estrada, commanding the Nicaraguan forces who had in the meantime returned from an outing. The Nicaraugan officers and men arrested were delivered by Captain Fullam 's orders to General Estrada, who was advised that they would be held responsible. Notice was served upon the Honduran and Nicbaraugan authorities that reparation would be demanded and punishment must be in flicted on all of the perpetrators of the outrage.

Young sows should not be bred until a year old, for a sow cannot make a litter of pigs aud grow at the same time, according to their report. Our early maturing breeds mature at eight and ten months old when properly fed and are more generally bred before a year old, but breeding too young in jures the stamina. ,j BEST SHEEP FOR PROFIT. Farmers who keep the mutton breeds of sheep do not complain that sheep do not pay. It Is the farmer who makes a specialty of wool and who sends to market a sheep no larger than lambs, who does not find profit in sheep. Young lambs alone give good profits and often bring more in market than the matured sheep and its wool, but such lambs are of the quick maturing and excel lent mutton breeds. The Epitomlst. BARB-WIRE CUTS. ' The following is said to have been proved an excellent treatment for barb-wire cuts: "Wash the cut thor oughly with castile soap, using tepid water; after washing, spray the cut with a weak solution of carbolic acid and then dust over it all fresh air slacked lime that will adhere. This treatment should be given every day. Xo wrapping or covering is needed. The same treatment would doubtless be good in cases where horses get their pasterns burned or cut with a rope, s. J MO.?T PROFITABLE HOGS. Most of the profit in hogs, except-ir.;-; from breeding sows, is made by rav'eniug them when they are six to s. en months old. If kept growing wil'.iout cheek until this time they ought to -weigh 225 pounds or more. It pays better than to feed an extra year, even though the weight is doubted in that time. The pork pig sells quickest and highest. Breedings sows may be kept so long as they produce two good litters a year, one dropped early in the spring and tho sjco-id in August or September. , FE15D1XG CORNSTALKS. "As dry as a cornstalk in spring is a common proverb among farmers for anything that is very dry and worthless. It is very apparent at this time of the year that the stalks should be fed out very early in order to get as much value from them as possible. If they are cut up fine it will pay to moisten each feed and this can be done with sweetened water, now that sugar and molasses are so cheap. The juices of the corn stalk are sweet and it is in this fact that much of the value of cornstalks for feeding consists. Wherever beet sugar is made, some of the refuse or discolored molasses may be used In place of sugar. Sometime this coun try will probably be able to produce all the sugar it needs, and so cheaply that it can be freely used as an ap petizer to encourage farm stock to eat food that otherwise would be un palatable. Agricutural Epitomist. j FINISHING OFF POULTRY. After all, market people are partic ular. Our practicO was to ship the heus alive in coops if desired. Other wise we could slaughter, finding an attractive appearance made a big dif ference in both sale and price of a fowl. A fat bird dresses easily; there is less danger of its making up ragged than when a lean bird is the subject worked upon. It is surprising, but only a week or ten days of first class food, with corn rightly proportioned therein, will fit most any healthy fowl for market. Fowls presenting torn skin, small feathers left and bruised or blem ished spots, show bad handling in slaughtering and dressing they lose value and the loss falls on the pro ducer, who failed in the finishing last important condition which counts in the returns as in any other branch of work. F. Li. Risley. SILAGE BEST FOR COWS. Good dairymen have found that si los which will hold 200 tons of silage can be built for $300, and that with the grain, dry feed and pasture this will carry twenty cows through the year, giving thirty to forty pounds per day of silage. Alfalfa hay or clo ver should be a part of the ration to supply the protein, or as another puts it: Silage and bran fed in the morn ing, followed by a feed of clover or alfalfa hay, with another feed of si lage and bran in the evening with a feed of clover Bay the last thing at night is the feeding plan of many a successful dairyman. Some of the most successful dairy farmers have adopted the plan of hav ing their cows freshen in the fall from September to November. The advantage of this plan is that the best flow of milk is then secured dur ing the winter when prices of butter and cream are higher than at any other time. Then- again, if they be turned out to pasture in spring and early summer the fresh feed will in crease the flow of milk for two or three months, then they may be dried off during the last half of July, and during that period when pastures are bad and the milk flow is naturallj the smallest they will be resting from their labors. Skill in handling th cow will add ten to twenty per cent to her returns during the year. To Prevent Wrong Posting A writer in January Business Man's Magazine suggests an easy method to minimize the posting ol amounts to the wrong account, in tlu ledger. He uses black ink for credits and violet for debit. .This arrangement leads the mind to connect each color with its owe proper position, and a violation it almost sure to be discovered -befor it has gone far enough to cause much troubla. -
