Death ot Miss Travis. , More than two hundred perscns were killed and four hundred were injured in a windstorm that demolished four hundred and fifty homes, damaged hundreds of other buildings in Omaha I^ebraska Sunday evening and caused a monetaiy loss of five million dollars according to reports available. Fire broke out in the debris of many wrecked buildings in the Nebraska metropolis and these were a menace -for some time as the fire conl^nies at]|Dabney, N. C. j were hindered by falling Walls and blockaded strcrets. A heavy rain followed the wind, however, and drenched the hundreds of homeless persons but alsD put out the flames. Of the two hundred and two known dead within the area covered by the storm 152 were residents of Omaha.

There is a law in this State against selling cigarettes to minors. There are so many laws that eyen the lawyers are ever alert to keep up with them. How ever, “ignorance of the law excuseth no man’' or woman. In the Municipal Court of this city, a few days ag^, six youngsters were summoned as witnesses to testify whire they had purchased the little “coffin tacks." they readily gave the information and Mrs. Susie Merrell and her sister Miss Minnie Pad gett who conduct a little grocery store were named as defendants. Mrs. Mer rell is a widow with four children and formerly lived at Mount Airy She did not know of the anti-eigarette law, iis regards minors and was fined $25 and cof ts on one case and judgment was suspended in another.

The fact is stimulated by revenge, the board has discharged about the easiest work there is in connection with their newspaper project. Raising fifteen hundred dollars by fairly well to do Aldermen who- are pretty hot under the collar, ought not to be a very ^hard job, but to keep a newspaper running and have it prosper, when giyen birth by such a motive prove a straining pull up hill, rule it does not work.

People often go astray on the words “acquaintance’' and “friend.” An ac quaintance is one whom you come in contact with in a plain business social way. A friend is one whom you can take through the gallery of your life wcithogt being obliged to turn any pic tures fo the walL When you’re a so cial outcast down and out with heaven and hades against you he who offers you a helping hand and says: “Don’t mention it!’* is your friend. A friend is one upon whom you can rely. Pass It On. If you read an article in thiu paper and don’t like it read something else.

He ‘^Stopped” His Paper The other day a cranky sort of an old man came into this office and stop ped his paper because something in it did not just suit his fancy, says the Powhatan Bee. We have frequently met him on the street since that time and it is amusing to note the look of surprise on the old fellows’s face that we are still in existence regardless of the fact that he had stopped his paper. Some day—and it won’t be long either. —that old gentleman will turn up his toes. His heart will be stil'ed forever Neighbors and friends will follow his lifeless remains to the silent city and lay them to rest among the flowers. An obituary will be published in these columns telling what a kind father, a good neighbor and beloved citizen he was—which the recording angel will overlook for charity’s sake, and in a very short time he will be forgotten. As he lies out there in the cold, cold graveyard wrapped in the silent slum ber of death, he will never know that the last kind word spoken of him, was by the editor of this, which in his life so 'spitefully “stopped.” Did you ever pause for a moment and think that your editor, whoever he may be will write your obituary?—Ex.

How Long Will It Last? (Boston Post.) None of the several technical expla nations of the cause of the high price of anthracite coal seems entirely con clusive. Perhaps the one which comes nearest to satisfaction is that which alleges insufficient coal above ground. If this be true, the remedy is plain— push on the mining. But if the co^ is digged out faster, we shall the sooner get to th3 end of the underground supply. Thus arises the interesting question: How loner it will last The original contents of the anthracite fields was estimated between nineteen and twenty biHion tons. Counting up what has been taken out in the course of the year, it is held that less tnan seven bliion tons remain; the experts of the federal geolcgical surve^r vary at ‘this poii.t, one of the leading authorities figuring only about five billion tons still “available.” Now, the production of coal for the maket has been steadily increasing at the rate of 1,'500,000 tons it year; last year the total reached more than $1,- 000,000 tons. A simple computation on the basis-of these figures indicates that in just about 104 years the an- thxaciLe will be all used up. Very few of us will be here to bother about it; but we may project into the future our sympathy for those who have to pay the prices then to be asked; judging by what is demanded in these days of comparative plenty. spent Saturday in The Floods Ravages Though the bursting of a resevoir at Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday, it is thought five thousand people were drowned, and several million dollars worth of preperty destroyed and damaged.

So long as there is a court competent to review the case, so*long as there remains a loophole of technicality promising the slightest chance of escape, it is the duty of counsel to prolong their efforts. But it is quite another matter that the pet- itoners for executive clemency to these convicts should their morbid sen timent against the mandates of law and their individual judgement above knowledge and conscience of judge and ^ jury, and observe no measure in de- i nouncing alike the agencies of justice and the- fountains of mercy for dis charging a painful duty try them. The pressure, however, soon became too great for the young ster and hiding the skates in his coat one morning he hust’ed for the pond. A half hour later he returned, dripping wet. “Where in the worldhaye you been?” exclaimed mother on catching sight of her saturated child. “Didn’t I tell you not to try those skates until the ice was safe?” “Don’t whip me, mamma,” exclaimed Jimmy, “I just saved three men and three women from drowning.” “You don’t mean it!” was the won dering response ot mother. “Yes," returned the youngster, “they were just about to go on the ice when I broke through. All Harmony on Tarifl. That the consumers are going to get prompt action on a downward revision of the tariff|at the coming session of congress is indicated in the appoint ment of a committee by the senate to confer with the ways and means com mittee of the house on the subject ot new schedules. It is true that Cleveland in his second term had a democratic house and senate, but the latter were far from 'co-operating with the chief, executive, so that it might be said that this is the first time the nation has enjoyed a progressive democratic Presi dent, senate and house. Republican senators have announced their intention of discussing at length the proposed tariff measures, but with the present agreement of the demo crats there is not much to fear from their speeches. The country is demanding that the tariff be reduced, and the ways and means committee will have the general support of the voters, even though a few industries in demo cratic territory are pinched a bit. It will require a most palpable blunder on the part of the committee in charge of the proposed bills ta sustain a proposi tion to make any material modification. The democratic party proposes to take full responsibility for the forthcoming tariff, and its representatives will be careful in what measures they adopt. The interests of the people, rather than those of big business, will be protected it is assured.—Nashville Tennessean. Dakota’s Last Wild Buffalo.

We would not have these men execu ted if judicial Investigation could un earth a reasonable doubt that they were the takers of innocent blood or discover one material flaw in the pro- j cesses by which their conviction and sentence were secured. The tribunals of Virginia, up,t» the -highest, have scrutinized the record and have solemn* ly decided that the testimony justified the verdict and that the conduct of the case by the trial bench • was without error. The Governor has devoted months to consideration of the pleas of revocation or mitigation ot the di^ad sentence, granting reprieves from time to time that all legitimate avenues for a rehearing might be resorted to. He was not able to discern satisfying causes for cancellation of the order of the Court and his final * conclusion was that justice should take its course. That his motives should be questioned, or his humanity aspersed, seems to us cruel and unfair; and as a matter of duty and public policy we belieye that Governor Mann has pursued the exactly proper course.—Va.

About 14 years ago three wild buf faloes came from the north and were seen on the Lutz range. One of the cows had a calf. That .calf became the only wild buffalo in that part of 'South Dakota, as its mother and her two companions were killed by huntert. The buffalo was pursued often by cow-boys,' but she could outrun the fieetest hor^ and nobody ever could tope her. She was recently shot by Ed after a lon^- chase.
