ing, the 27th, a cyclone burst
upon Newton, Mo., and swept a
path a quarter of a mile wide,
destroying 400 buildings and car
rying 4eat in its fury. At 8
o'clock 25 bodies had been re
covered and it is expected that
the number will reach 50 or even
GO. Wires are down and total
darkness prevailed till fire broke
out in the ruins that, while they
probably cremated some, made it
easier to hunt through the debris
for the others. r j ;
Details of the calamity are yet
meager but thus far it seems
.Newton was by far the greatest
sufferer in the storm. M
Tbey Dislike the Treatment.
Dr. D F Whitley writes us
from Baltimore that the children
who were taken there from Mill
inejport ior treatment for hydro
phobia are getting along very
well, except that they dread the
treatment, which is by hypoder
mic injections. He scores all
political parties for not having a
dog law before this, and thinks if
a lot of the people who seem to
care more for. feeding curs and
hounds than for protecting child
ren and raising sheep and pork
could see the children and hear
their pitiful' cries while taking
the treatment there would be
fewer rabid dogs. The suspense
and agony of the two families has
been terrible, but it is earnestly
hoped by all that the children's
lives may be spared.

heard from the team that went
from Charlotte last Saturday to
play the St. Mary s team. It ; is
learned from a round-about
source that the score was 32 to 2
in favor of the college team. This
is ample explanation for the
silence for. the Charlotte boys."
