ITCH DARK AT NOON
Tornado Burst Over the Town
of Sheboygan.
SWEPT 'AWAY ALL IN ITS PATH
Preceded Tjy Intense Heat-The
Storm In Other Sections Da
kota Crops Damaged.
1HEWAXJKEB, "Wis., Aug. 20. A special
from Sheboygan, "Wis., says:
A terrific "wind storm struck the city
this afternoon. The storm came very
euddenly rom the north. Eight largo
buildings were completely -wrecked and
500 small houses -were blown down. The
loss 'will be more than $399,090.
At noon It -was dark as night and In
tensely hot. A few moments before 1
o'clock the storm broke. Increasing n
force until a tornado -was blowing. Per
sons "were thrown down arid fences and
eigns hurled hundreds of feet. The
-Btorm raged for some minutes and passed
off to the south. The storm started In
the western part of the city, near the
cemetery, and swept down on to the
south side and off into the lake. It
"was two miles "wide and -wrecked every
thing In Its path. All -was over In 10
minutes, although it seemed hours to
the panic-stricken people.
The roof of the large -warehouse of the
Crocker Company -was blown off and
thrown against the large factory. The
building was -wrecked and a large stock
of chairs -was loft -without protection from
the rain, -which fell In torrents.
The street-car barns were -wrecked, and
street-oars were smashed to pieces. The
electric wires were all blown down. The
roof of the malthouse of the Keneid
Schrlver Brewing Company was lifted
from the building, carried over ISO yards
and thrown into the street. It was car
ried over the huge ventilators of the
brewery. The American Folding Bed
Company's plant was demolished and the
sheds in the Slmball & Sons brickyard
Were blown down and the debris scattered
In every direction.
The storm struck the South Side Luth
eran Church, and the steeple was blown
down on to two residences, smashing In
the roofs. The Fourth "Ward School, a
beautiful building, waB completely
wrecked, one side and the front being
blown in, causing the roof to fall and
crushing the floors down into the cellar.
The plant of the Optenberg & Sonneman
Company was partially wrecked. Several
freight cars standing on the Northwest
ern Railroad tracks were blown over on
their sides.
That no one was killed seems almost a
miracle. The wind wrecked building
after building, with the greatest rapidity,
and there was little warning of the ap
proach of the storms. The people In
every case were out of their homes before
the storm broke, and those who were
Btruck by flying debris were only slightly
Injured In the factories the employes
were in many cases bruised and cut
from wreckage.
The 5-year-old son of Mrs. Thomas At
kins had a remarkable escape. The
house was torn into shreds and scattered
about in the roadwaj. "What was left
of the house was only about three or four
timbers where the building stood. The
child was buried in the ruins, and when
found was standing in the corner, with
timber piled in front of him In such a
manner as to shield him, and he escaped
with only bruises.
Four box cars in the Chicago & North
western yard were carried off the track
and stood straight on end. Some of the
bricks from the Crocker Company ware
house were thrown with such force
against the adjoining buildings that they
passed through the sides of the buildings
and yet no one was injured. Other por
tions of the building of the Crocker Com
pnny were torn to pieces. There is
scarcely a whole pane of glass left in the
tornado district.
Telephone, electric light and trolley
wires and poles are torn down, and a
street-car has not run in the city since
the storm struck. Sidewalks and trees
ere carried away like chaff.
The principal sufferer is the Crocker
Chair Company, whoso loss Is J250.000.
OSHKOSH. "Wis.. Aug. 20. A terriflc
ntorm struck here this afternoon wreck
ing Orols' store on Main street and dam
aging several buildings. The storm was
preceded by intense heat, and the day
grew black as night.

severe electrical storm this afternoon. The
damage to crops was immense. From all
parts of the peninsula come reports of
standing grain being beaten to the ground
and practically ruined. Scores of barns
were struck by lightning and burned,
with their contents, so that the loss lo
the farmers Is very heavy. In Detroit
the wind attained a velocity of 38 miles
an hour, and hundreds or trees were
blown down. The storm swept with cy
clonic fury upon the camp , which had
been pitched on the boulevard for the
Wcr-nlal encampment of the Knights of
Pvthtss. and raxed 1000 of the 1200 tents
to the ground.

REPJ,Y TO A CRITIC.
Scored the Christian Scientists and
Is Scored in Return.
SALEM, Aug. 18. (To the Editor.)
Since The Oregonian permits such a logi
cal lunatic as one signing himself Ernest
A. Jacobsen to call a religious denomina
tion of respectable people brazen, cold
blooded liars, fake prophets, and other in
sulting names, who boasts he can fill all
the columns of The Oregonian with a con
tinuation of such an apparent personal
hatred of that religion strange and un
meaning to him It will certainly permit
something to be said correcting such a
vilifying and slandering article. His per
sonal hatred and abuse certainly do not
nt bis mind to grasp its principle or to
stimulate fair Investigation. The whole
article Is simply a tirade against his idea
of Christian Science. It does In no way
touch the facts of Christian Science.
Christian Science is one thing; his idea of
it is quite another. Having this errone
ous idea of It, he naturally feels bound to
air himself and views In the papers, and
tell the world his Idea of something he
knows nothing about, and brands him
self as an ignorant meddler among people
who do not know what he is trying to
talk about. Even while he curses the
Christian Scientists, let me say to him
that not one of them holds one thought
against him, personally, for what he has
said or done. I have not yet demonstrat
ed over the Idea that there are yet some
people who become Idiotic in their frantic
efforts to have eevrybody believe as they
do, and who presume to know it all. The
only necessity to correct such an article is
the possibility of some one being misled.
If it is possible In the face of such ap
parent prejudice.
Rather tthan separately call attention to
his references and extracts from "Science
and Health," I simply say of all his ref
erences and remarks that he has written
upon a subject with which he Is not the
least familiar. Then, again, criticism
based upon abstract extracts from such
a work as "Science and Health,", or any
work embodying a universal panacea, is
too old and threadbare to weigh much
with honest and sincere investigators.
"What would Jacobsen himself say to the
Infidel who selects some verse from the
Holy Bible and attempts to prove all
false by the seeming falsity or vague
ness of a few lines when stood alone?
Yet he employs similar methods in doing
his work. With a display of wisdom
equal to the logic of his argument, he
openly Insults many good and noble men
and women men and women who rank
among the best. He must feel proud of
having signed such an article. For his
information. Christian Science is repre
sented In nearly every country on the
globe, numbering something over 1.000,000.
Most of these people were healed of so
called Incurable diseases. Thet Christian
Science movement publishes a large list
of text-books, a monthly Journal, a news
paper, tracts, etc. In Manila representa
tion is had in and through officers in the
United States Army stationed there, a
number of them being Scientists. The
proof of this science Is in its demonstra
tion It is a demonstrable science. AH
anybody Is asked Is to prove It for them
selves. Mr. Jacobsen's many references are not
taught in Christian Science. He has ex.
tracted sufficient portions to suit his pur
pose. That is all. In all his experience.
I venture to say, he never has had any
thing to do with a Christian Scientist.
Let him talk to one 15 minutes and I
doubt if he would feel like calling them
liars and other objectionable names. As
Science and Health" says, "The sects
which endured the lash of their predeces
sors in their turn bestow It upon those
who are In advance of themselves."
Certalnly all this million of neoDle can
not be silly enough to let such a. theory
as impractical and Idiotic as he would
have it appear, govern their lives and
become laughing-stocks of the world. He
should be modest enough to admit others
have as much sense of reason and reason
ing sense as he has. "What sense would
there be in any respectable man or
woman accepting such a theory as he In
sists Christian Science Is? I have several
personal acquaintances who would cast
it asldo Instantly If It were not what it
claims to be. Perhaps no theory sets
forth such universal claims, and none
strikes more directly at the root of all
this ghastly array of error In this world.
This Is what antagonizes. Were these
facts sugar-coated. It would be easier for
mortal man to swajlow them. Then they
would be more In accord with himself.
This is a demonstrable principle, and I
ask Mr. Jacobsen to study It for a while.
He can easily prove it for himself. It
will have the effect of teaching him one
thing that his remarks In his article
were wholly unwarranted, and that the
world Is teeming entirely too much with
peopie wno are ever ready to assail soma
one else who is striving to do good.
CHARLES MILLER.
THE ITALIAN ANARCHISTS.
How the Officials Were Apprised of
Their Coming:.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20. Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury Taylor left for
Washington today. He Investigated while
here the cases of the two Italians. Mar
esca and Gulda, who are still held, but
refused to say anything before reaching
Washington. It was learned that suspi
cion as to the coming of Maresca was in
spired by rival detective bureaus, who
were anxious to place the man under '
arrest on the strength of an anonymous
letter received by the American Consul at
Naples.
Commissioner Fitchle said that late
Saturday evening a letter was received
from Consul Byington, of Naples, inclos
ing a copy of a letter dated August 2, In
which an anonymous writer stated that
he had overheard a conversation between
Maresca and another Italian in a saloon,
during which Maresca, who was intoxi
cated, said he was about to sail for the
United States to kill President McKlnW
The Consul added, according to Commis
sioner JMtcnie, that he has cabled the in
formation to Washington, and that he
had mailed copies of the letter to various '
European ports, giving a description of
the man.
It Is said In addition that not onlv vpr
Secret Service officers informed of this
matter, but that the New York .police had
information of it from the Paris police
officials.

MADDENED BY DRINK
THREE MURDERS COMMITTED BT
A KANSAS PHYSICIAN.
One of the "Victims "Was a Sheriff,
Whose Son, in Turn, Killed
the Doctor.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Aug. 20. At
Farley, a small town across the river in
I Missouri, Dr. Sturley Harrington, a phy
sician of Farley, drunk and imagining
fancied wrongs, killed James "Wallace,
his uncle, a wealthy farmer; Mrs. Will
iam Wallace, Harrington's mother-in-law,
and J. P. Dillingham, Sheriff of Piatt
County, who tried to arrest him, and was
in turn, shot dead by Harry Dillingham,
the Sheriff's son. Before he was cor
nered by the Sheriff's posse Harrington
held up the clerk In the general store
at the point of his revolver, and ex
changed shots with the clerk, firing into a
crowd of spectators. Harrington's 12-year-old
daughter was a forced witness
of the different stages of the tragedy, the
physician taking her with 'him in his
buggy as he went from place to place on
his bloody errand.
Saturday night Harrington quarreled
with his wife, and drove her from home.
UNMASKEDI
threatening her life. He had had words
with James Wallace over a line fence,
and had been on a protracted spree. Mrs.
Harrington had not returned home this
morning, and Harrington, repairing to
Wallace's .home, demanded to know
where she could be found. Wallace pro
fessed to have no knowledge .of her
whereabouts, whereat Harrington whipped
out a revolver and shot him twice, once
In the head and onoe through the heart.
Leaving the victim where he lay, Har
rington drove half a mile to the home of
Mrs. William Wallace and again de
manded to know of his wife. To Mrs.
Wallace's answer that she knew nothing
of Mrs. Harrington, the physician shot
her dead before she could make an outcry.
Harrington drove Immediately to Leav
enworth, taking his little girl with him.
The Wallaces were alone, and no one
gave chase. At Leavenworth Harrington
appeared calm and collected. He pur
chased some cartridges for his revolver,
and a 41-callber rifle and ammunition for
it, remarking to the proprietor as he left:
"I have an order for the cartridges at the
store In Farley, and as I am going home,
I might as well take them." As Harring
ton retraced his steps the liquor and the
thoughts of his crime apparently mad
dened him. Reaching Farley, he entered
William Wehee's general store and de
manded some money of the clerk In
charge.
"I have only 53, and cannot let you
have that," said the clerk.
"Yes. you can. for I will pay it back,"
replied Harrington.
The clerk still refused, and Harrington
drew a revolver and demanded the money.
There were a dozen men In the store, but
none made a move to Interfere. The clerk
turned over the money and Harrington
started to leave the store. As he did so
the clerk seized a revolver and fired one
shot at him. It went amiss, and Harring
ton, turning quickly, emptied his revolver
In the direction of the crowd. None of
the shots took effect, but they sufficed to
keep the people at bay, and Harrington
sauntered toward the door.
Sheriff Dillingham and his posse had
been following Harrington closely, and
as the murderer emerged from the store
he stood face to face with his pursuers.
Harrington Instantly raised his weapon
and fired at the Sheriff, the ball entering
Dillingham's forehead. Harrington a mo
ment later stepped over the body of the
dying Sheriff and started to run. He had
gone but a few yards when a shot from
the revolver of Harry Dillingham
brought him to the ground. Both Sheriff
Dillingham and Harrington died within
a few minutes.
DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
Negro Poet a Victim of Knockout
Drops.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Paul Lawrence
Dunbar, the negro poet and magazine
writer, reported to the police last night
tnat he had been drugged and robbed.
Dunbar said he had been working hard
during the early part of the night trying
to pacify the negroes who had been agi
tated by the West Side riots, and was
very tired. About midnight he started to
go to the house on Ninth avenue where
he was staying temporarily, and he met
a negro named William Ricks. Ricks in
vited him Into a saloon, and advised him
against going through West Thirty-seventh
street, as; he said it was dangerous.
Dunbar accepted Ricks' invitation. He
then started on through Thirty-seventh
street on Ninth avenue. This is all that
he remembers until 2 o'clock the follow
ing morning, when he awoke on the top
floor of a building on West Thirty-seventh
street. A family of negroes which
ho knew told him that he had been found
unconscious In the hall, and they had
put him to bed.
As soon as Dunbar examined his pock
ets he found that he had been robbed.
His diamond Ting, a gold watch and
chain, some money nnd some trinkets
were missing. He thinks" that "knock
out" drops must have been used.
NOT HAMMERED TO DEATH.
Autopsy on the Remains of Kntli
erlne Scharn.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20. Dr. Donlln, the
Coroner's physician, performed an au
topsy on the body of Katherlne Scharn
today. He said the young woman was
not hammered to death, but strangled.
Inspector Hartrey, who has the Scharn
murder case In hand, gave out late today
the following
"An undertaker who lives next door to
the house where the murder occurred
says he was sitting In front of his place
from 7 o'clock Saturday evening until
10:SX During that time he saw no one
enter the house where the murder was
done or come out, neither did he hear
any unusual noise, and the people in his
houe heard no unusual noise during the
rigt."
Ths Inspector said that, so far as he had
Investigated, he had found no evidence
derogatory to the character of the dead
girl. In his opinion the murder was done
by some one who was then In the girl's
apartment without her knowledge. He
believed this by the lack of evidence of
a struggle. The only thing overturned in
the room was an easy chair, and he thinks
she was knocked over while sitting In the
chair, and was dragged from it to her
bedroom. He thinks the murder was
committed in the 'sitting-room, as he
found a clot of blood on the carpet where
the body had probably lain for a little
while before it was dragged to the other
room.
The search of the apartments where
the murder was committed revealed an
unopened bundle containing pillow slips,
stockings, and some lace, which was
wrapped in the paper of Bloomlngdale's
store, in this city. Inspector Harley suc
ceeded In finding the clerks who had sold
these articles. They at once recognized
the goods and the photographs of Miss
Scharn as the purchaser. They said that
the articles were sold about 4 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, and at the time of their
purchase Miss Scharn was accompanied
by a well-dressed man of about 25 years.
They said that they would be able to
Identify him again, and gave Inspector
Harley a full description of Miss Scharn'E
companion, mentioned certain peculiari
ties about him which they noted at the
time of the sale, and said that ho paid
for some of the things which the girl
bought. They failed to identify young
Scharn and Elsen Price, and said that
those men did not in any -way resemble
the man who had visited the storo with
New York Tribune.
the girl. The police scout the idea that
the crime was committed by a burglar,
and do not think that the blue mask
which they found will figure prominently
in the evidence.

RUSSIA'S AIMS.
Endeavoring: to Break the Harmony
Between England and America.
LONDON. Aug. 21.-Jullan Ralph in the
Daily Mall this morning quotes a "diplo
mat of high standing," whose name Is
not given, who declares that Russia is
vigorously endeavoring to'secure Ameri
can support and to break the harmony
existing between the United States and
Great Britain. '
"England," says the diplomat in ques
tion, "has no first-class power except
America which offers her the slightest
ground for hoping for a frlenoly hearing
of her case. The bitter feeling of today
will generate war against her tomorrow.
Russia's plan, which is encouraged by
Austria-Hungary. France and Germany,
is to strip Great Britain, of all support
to leave her naked before such a war
begins."

A Great Captain of Industry.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
Mr. Huntington has been much con

in his numerous enterprises, but on the
other hand, he made a great many
friends. His honesty was at least as
good as that of the -average man and
probably better. That he was one of

question, and as such his career was one J
AH Chronic Invalids Should Take Advantage of
Favorable Climatic Conditions.
Catarrh is an obstinate and dangerous
disease. It clings tenaciously to the sys
tern, and grows more malignant with
each, returning Fall and Winter.
The time to take treatment for dis
eases of a cartarrha! nature is now. The
climatic conditions are most favorable,
In fact, the best of the year, the liabil
ity to taking cold being the lowest, and
one month's treatment now will do more
good than two months In cold and rainy
weather.
Time and again Dr. Copeland has urged
upon persons in desperate stages of ca
tarrhal disease the necessity and import
ance of taking treatment while the
weather is most favorable to a cure.
Now is that time. Those who suffer
from catarrh should take advantage of
all the Influences that operate now in
favor of a cure. They should not put
off treatment until next Winter's stormy
days, but should prudently "mend their

lamook streets. Port
land: In the past 10
years there has been
scarcely a time when I could eat a meal
without suffering and distress afterward.
Food, instead of being digested, soured on
the stomach, causing bloating and belch
ing. For two or three hours after eating
I would belch, and gag and raise particles
of food. My stomach was sore and ten
der, so bad at times that I could not
bear my clothing to touch me.
I also had a bad case of catarrh of the
head and throat. I had Intense pain on
the top of my head, which was so severe
at night as to prevent me from sleeping.
There was a discharge from the head, and
the right nostril was so clogged up that
I could not breathe through It. Thero
was a constant ringing and buzzing in
the ears, and on rising in the morning
mv hearing was very dun.
Thfl disease finallv reached a stage
where, if I had not obtained relief. I
would soon have been an Invalid. I had
lost 30 pounds, and could no longer work.
About two vears ao Drs. CoieIand and
Montgomery cured my brother of what
wo all thought was consumption, ana l
had every confidence in their skill when
I began treatment. I was not disap
pointed, for I was under treatment but a
short time when I began to get better,
and now am once more a well man. My
stomach is In first-class shape, and tha
catarrh has been thoroughly cured.
DeafneSS j postoffice address Port-
Lv I land: May years ago I
had diphtheria, and
since that time have been, troubled with
my ears. There was a constant dis
charge from both ears. Sometimes it
was merely a little watery discharge; at
other times it was thick and foul. I had
sharp, shooting pains through the ears
and a terrible itching. The ears were
dry and scaly.
My hearing was very dull. I could not
understand the common tones of the
voice. At church I could not hear what
the minister said unless I was right up in
front. I could hot hear the clock tick ex
cept when close up to It. There was a
continual buzzing and roaring In my head
and a stopped-up feeling.
Under the treatment given me at the
Copeland Institute my ears healed and my
hearing returned. I will gladly answer
any letters, for I am always pleased to
recommend the treatment that has done
so much for me.

OF CURES:

great deal, and frequently spat mucus
streaked with blood, and sometimes
bright red blood. There was a constant
dripping from the head, which kept mo
hawking and spittings and the throat sore
and Irritated. At night my throat would
nil up so I could not sleep. I had debil
itating night sweats and my breathing
was short and labored.
I had no appetite or desire for food.
What little I did eat caused belching and
great misery.
I lost flesh, and was so weak and feeble
that I could not attend to my household
duties. I was greatly worried over my
falling health, for several In our family
had died of what the doctors called con
sumption, and I feared I was going Into
that terrible disease. All my friends
thought so, too, for I had all the symp
toms. I began treatment at the Copeland In
stitute with results that were extremely
gratifying and happy. I am a different
woman now from what I was a few
months ago well and. strong.
