Tower Fire Dangerous.
For. a time the water supply in tha
company department came trom the
tower that looms up considerable over
100 feet but the top of the structure
became ignited by the terrific heat and
Fire Chief Benham and P. A. Foley
scaled the perpendicular ladder and
with help, lifted two strings of hose
to the top of the high tower. This en
tailed the hardest sort of work phy
sically and' subjected the men on the
structure to torture. Both men were
scarcely able to get down after having
fought .the fire successfully saving the
immense tower from destruction. Oth
er firemen remained, in the tower until
after midnight fighting incipient blaz-4
es. .. .. .
At 3 o'clock, when a score of men
were ready to drop from exhaustion,
arrangement was made to relieve the
volunteers with substitutes who stood
by their hose until broad daylight. The
department members returned to the
station . shortly after three, partly to
recoup themselves and partly to give
the city added fire protection in case
cf a blaze in the city
Late in the night goggles were sup
plied all fire fighters and these gave
much relief to the already swollen and
blood-sh.t eyes.

' Shooting Affair Discussed.
Washington July 28. It is known
that the recent shooting at Juarez of
Chas. B. Dixon, an American immi
gration official, is considered at of
ficial quarters as a probable scheme to
force the presdent's hand and to pro
voke intervention. Only formal re
ports from Juarez of the shooting
have reached the state departmen
and the text of the telegrams sent to
Mexico City which forced the release
of Dixon and demanded the punish
ment of the one who shot him, was not
made public. Neither has the text of
the telegrams to Mexico City regard
ing the demands for the release of
Chas' Bissell and Bernard McDonald,
who are threatened with execution at
Chihuahua, but both wires it is stated,
were couched in language which it
would be impossble for Heurta to mis
understand. , ... :; . J ' '

The Havoc That May Come When
a Tornado Breaks loose.
STORMS PLAY QUEER PRANKS
Houses Have Been Carried Bcdily Into
the Air and Exploded, and Half a
Building Has "Been Swept, Away,
While the Rest Remained Unharmed.
The weather bureau nt Washing oil
has. been collecting statistics ami facts
about cyclones and tornadoes for umuy
years, and the experts have succeeded
lu securing considerable valuable data
about the big winds; but, after till, the
freaks of the storm are the thinys that
give, JVfc.speciul interest, and If all these
were properly clitssir.ed some remarka
ble reading would be furnished, livery
visitation of a tornado adds to this val- !
liable storehouse of queer freaks.
It is not .uncommon for Hie whirliug
wind to cut a house in half, demolish
ing one side :.ud leaving the other un
disturbed. This happened in au Iowa
tornado, and the part that was left in
tact was so little disturbed that the
clock on the mantel continued ticking,
as if nothing had happened.
In the Texas town of Shermnu,
which was visited by a tornado in
IStirj, two houses were picked up and
carried Into the air. where they ex- j
ploded. Every one iu them was severe-1
ly Injured except a baby, which did not
receive so much us a scratch.' A man
milking a cow iu a shed saw the cow '
and sired carried up in the air, but he
was' not so much as touched. Not a
drop of the milk in his pail was spilled
or disturbed. . '
In tU'i St. Louis tornado of the same
year a carpet in the parlor of oue house
was pulled up by the twister and car
ried away a few hundred yards with
out so much ns a rent being torn In it.
The tacks hud been pulled up as neatly,
as if extracted ' by a careful carpet
layer.
In another house the bedclothing and
mattress were lifted from the bed, and
the bedstead wm left intact. A resi
dent was carried through the roof of
another house with the bed and drop
ped a quarter of a mile away without
Injury. The mattress saved him tu the
fall, and he picked himself up In a va
cant lot to diess without knowing ex
actly what bad happened to him.
The "twisters" have been known to
pull nuils out of shingles and then go
on to pick up a chimney bodily and
carry It through the air. In Kansas
one picked up a buggy and landed it in
the branches of a tree. ' At another
time It ripped the harness completely,
off a horse and left horse, buggy and
man uninjured. In Louisville, in 1SU0,
a tornado carried tlie roof off a house
and pulled a child from the mother's
arms and carried it safely to auother
house six blocks away.
But these are merely among the
harmless freaks of the big wind. There
are others more heartrending. It has
dismembered human beings, tearing
arms and legs from the body, and
twisted the hair of women into ropes.
In Kuusas it drove a piece of scantling
six Inches square through the body of ,
a hog. At another time it blew Iu the :
door of a farmer's hou.se and carried '
the owner away on the door, to drop
hi in in the lira nc lies of a tree. The
tornado did not hurt him, but he broke
his neck falling from the tree to the
ground.
No one has succeeded in measuring
the full force of a tornado, but it is
known to travel at the rate of 200
nlles and move an hour.
Tornadoes are exciting more general
ittentlon than formerly because of the
water number of towns and villages
located In the tornado belt. Kueb suc
cssive one is more dangerous than Its
'iredecessors because It is apt to find
more hiiuiau material to destroy. Kor
nerly It might travel half the length
if a continent without finding anything
in Its 1 1 1 It to destroy except grass,
trees and occasionally the crops of u
.-miliary farmer. Today. If it followed
he same route, it might pass over n
loy.eii villages and towns.
The only thing that can possibly
'.'ve'ik the for-e of a tornado is a range
if mountains. It may' create wild
'mvoc a inong the trees nnd bowlders
if a mountain, but it cannot carry the
aoniitain itself away. It will uproot
riant forest trees, suck the water from
ells and streams, twist and demolish
;mii bridges ami carry up houses, but
lie mountains are proof against the
ilu'hty foiv-e of the wind,
t'ntil we know how to control the
iriindu or tlnd some means of Untiling
'.I. its menacing danger must always
lie a somve nf considerable uneasiness
'11 the great plain sections of the conn
try. Hut. like earthquakes, the tor
nado and cyclone do not come every
year, and sometimes they defer their
i visit for n decade or so. for which we
may be thankful. George K. Walsh in

On her arrival nt the palace Iteschid

"I'ekkoi!" ("(iood!") said .the sultau
as Lady Londonderry courtesied. "She

Lady Lotid.oiiuerry bowed and ex

Sultan Ask her what is the price of

she hud a delightful story to tell toiler
friends of the kindness with which the
sultan hud received her.
Long Drawn Out Electiona.
No complaint with regard to undue
limitation of polling time wns possible
lu tho old parliamentary days. The
danger was that polling might be pro
longed for n fortnight or a mouth.
Drastic action to bring the poll to a
close once provoked a riot In the West
minster division of London. At the
general election that begun on April
25, 1741. the two Westminster minis
terial candidates were on the fifth day
of jKillliig well attend, but an opposi
tion party of electors approaching the
hustings In great force, the high bailiff
(who favored the ministerialists) de
clared that he fen red n riot and closed
the poll The battled voters rioted and
the military were called out. T!i high

According to the administration the

authority and attributed by news ag

he does not entertain on things-are
