In New Richmond Five Kun dred Houses Were Blown Down anJ Probably One Huudred People Kill ed and Burned to Death. New Richmond, Wis., June 13. Indescribably sad are the scenes of desolation wrought bv a tornado that has practically swept out of existence the pros perous little city of New Rich mond. The cyclone struck the town full in the center, and in ten minutes awlul destruction had been wrought. The largest brick blocks crumbled like eggshells. The lighter frame structures were whisked away like so much straw and many houses were carried for blocks and dashed to the earth. Five hundred buildings, the finest in the town, were demol ished, and when the storm had passed about the only structures of any note left standing were t!ie Catholic and Baptist churches. Not a residence was lert un touched, and few people escaped without injuries. Lumber yards went iup in the clouuds, the huge planks being split into shingles. The large iron bridge over Apple nvr was blown into fragments, and the parts distributed along the banks a halt mile away. Two large iron sales were caught up and carried a distance of a block. Within a space of a few blocks lay dozens of bodies. Legs and arms were missing in many cases, and one body was found with the head clipped off the trunk as though it had been severed with and ax. All who sought refuge in the cellars escaped. Some cases over whom houses collapsed were en tombed. To add to the horror of the situation, fires were start ed here and there by overturn ing stoves, and many wounded, unable to drag themselves out of the danger, suffered death by burning. Gillman Brothers Circus was in New Richmond and the far mers from the surrounding coun try, with their families, had gathered to see the show. A few minutes before the stcrm struck a large part of these, who had just come from the circus, rushed to a brick building close at hand, where they took refuge This building was among those destroyed and it is difficult to say how many perished there. The guests at the Hotel Nich ola were at supper when the storm began and all hands sought the cellar. So far as known most of these in this house were saved. As nearly as can be ascertained the storm first s ruck at a place called Catfish Bar, a short distance below Still water, and laid waste the entite country irom that point to New Richmond. The streets of Omaha are flooded and the play of the light ning is fearful. Omaha, Neb., June 13. The tornado that struck the village of Herman this evening wrought fearxul destruction. A conduc tor on the evening train from Sioux City passed through the place not long after storm, and he says not a building is left standing in town. He counted twelve dead bodies lying in the streets.

He obtained only about $3 00, mostly pen nies. The station was also biok en into aud the money box was carried off, but tkere no money in it.

But Let no one be Deceived for the Lord Himself says That it Shall come as a Thief in the Night. A strange thing in connect ion with the Christian church, is the attitude of a large majors ity of its members, toward any investigation of the scriptures, with the hope of gaining infor mation as to the second advent ot the Saviour. They appeal to the abovt quotation as an abso lute barriei to all researches along this line. I think that a little compilation and connect ion of scriptue will show the inconsistency of such a course. One fact that will not admit of dispute is, that Christ im press His disciplei with the idea that He would return and establish His Kiugdom on earth. It was in answer to their queston, 'tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming?" th t He replied as above. Having called attention to the prohecies that relate to that day. He told them that their fulfillment would be "the sign;" and also said, "but of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which aie in heaven, neither the Son, but the leather." At another time tney asked Him, "Lord wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" He replied "it is not for you to know the times or seasons, wnicn tne patner natn put in His own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is to come upon you." Again He said to them "Howbeit when He the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth, and he will show you things to come." These utterances were when He was on the earth as a man. More than half a century later, when He had ascended to the Father, He appeared unto John on Patmos and told him to write 'The Revelation ot Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to stow unto his servants things which mnst shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein. Then followed, in symbols, a full prophetic history of the church, uutil His return. To sum up what the Saviour said on this subject, we get the following facts that when the disciples asked when He told them that none but God had the power to know at that time, but that they would have power when the Holy Spirit came in to the world and that He would show them things to come. Why this knowledge had been kept from Christ we do not know, but accept His plain statement that it had. The fact we get from His messenger sent to John, is that God reveals ed it to rlim alter hie nad ass cended to Heaven. Other facts are that He told His disciples that the signs ot His coming would be tne ful Advice to Consumptives There are three great reme dies that every person with weak lungs, or with consump tion itself, should understand. These remedies will cure about every case in its first stages ; and many of those more advanced. It is only the most advanced that are hopeless. Even these are wonderfully relieved and life itself greatly prolonged. What are these remedies ? Fresh air, proper food and Scon's Emulsion of Ced-Liver Oil with Hypo phosphites. Be afraid of draughts but not of fresh air. Eat nutritious food and drink plentv of milk. Do not forget that bcott's Emulsion is the oldest, the most thoroughly tested and the highest en dorsed of all remedies for weak throats, weak lungs and consumption in all its stages. 50c. and ft 00 ; 11 dniggwu. crnrfA bowse.

Then, there is no mis take but that we must watch the fulfillment of those prophecies and depend mainly upon the Spirit to show us things to come, as many of them are in dark symbols, that the world cannot understand. As evidence of this, the Apos tie Paul wrote to the Thessalon. ians "But of the times and the seasons bretbern, ye have no need that I write, for yourselves know perfectly that the day ol the Lord cometh as a thief in the night. But ye brethern are not in darkness that day should overtake you as a thief. Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come ex cept there cme a falling away (from the truth) first, and that man of sin (as prophesied by Daniel) be revealed." The Apostle Peter also said "We have a more sure word of prophecy; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place." And in the last chap ter of Revelations we find these words "Blessed is he that keep eth the sayings of the prophecy ot this book. "Only those watch ing in the manner directed will be able to discern the sign of His coming At His first advent we had the sad spectacle of seeing those to whom the oracles of God had been intrusted, in total blind ness of His identity, because of their ignorance of the prophecies that marked every step of his life. He pronounced a woe uon them, saying, "woe unto them: for ye have taken a vay the key of knowledge ! Ye entered not in yourselves and them that were entering in ye hindered." Prophecy was the key to reveal the knowledge of the Saviour's presence, and this the rulers in Israel had cast aside. This has been written, hoping that, to some extent, it may re move that mistaken idea among christians, that Christ taught that His people should not know wnen He would return. The Book is full and running over; even giving the minutest details And many are realizing what Daniel meant when he said, 'Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."

I never felt so badly in all ray life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. 1 went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store aud the recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certaiuly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price. G. H. Wilson, Livery Burgettstown, Washington Co., Pa.
