PURIOUS GALE
NoMh St. Louis Is Swept
a Tornado.
by
LOSS WILL REACH $100,000
One Person Killed and Fifty Probab
ly Injured Many Miraculous Es
capesWires are Down.
St. Louis, Aug. 22. A tornado of
extreme fury swept down upon the res
idence portion of North St. Louis late
today, resulting in the death of one
person, injury to probaDly 50, and
damage to property estimated at $100,
000. The atmosphere became murky and
a dark cloud was noticed in North St.
Louis approaching from the southwest.
Suddenly, an arm seemed to shoot
down like a gigantic cable, twisting
and turning. The end touched the
ground at Nineteenth and Angeliodt
stieets, and with incredible swiftness
and force swept east along Angelrodt
foi ten blocks. Then it turned, norfti
and swept three blocks along Broad
way, when it jumped eight blocks
northeast to the foot of Breman street
and the river, where much property
along the river bank was destroyed.
The tornado then jumped to about
the middle of the river, and encount
ered a ferryboat, which was turned and
tossed about, but was not sunk. The
tornado once more lifted and strut k
the Illinois shore near Madison, wheie
it demolished several dwellings, the
I eiderkranz hall and blew down a por
tion of the Madison cooper works, kill
ing John Ellington.
Severe damage was done to buildings
at Venice and Granite City, which ad
joins Madison. One person, was killed
in the former city and a number in
jured. So quickly did the tornado sweep
through North St. Louis tbijt the citi
zens could scarcely comprehend what
had happened. In the stillness that
followed, cries were heard on all sides
as the terror stricken peisons ran about
the streets. Not a telegraph, telephone
or trolley pole was left standing along
the street swept by the tornado, and
trees were piled in heaps. The path
of the tornado was about a block and a
half wide along which houses were
unroofed, window panes broken, sever
al factories partially demolished and
the streets littered with debris.
HUNGER MAKES THEM 60LD.
Packing-House Strikers Try to Kill
Steers, and Tierce Battle Ensues.
Chicago, Aug. 22. The fiercest riot
of the stockyards strike occurred to
night when hungry dwellers of the
packinghouse district sought to capture
and kill eight steers that had escaped
from the yards. Th mob numbered
4,000 persons, and thi streets were
cleared only after 120 policemen in five
squads had charged the rioters on four
sides.
Shots were fired and scores of rioters
were clubbed. Few arrests were made,
as the police contented themselves
with dispersing the mob. In no pre
vious riota were clubs used so freely.
Fire in the northeast corner of the
etockyards gave rise to exciting rumors
that incendiaries were at work.
Sparks, presumably from a passing lo
comotive, fell into a pile of hay. The
blaze was quickly extinguished.
A new source of trouble developed in
the strike situation today when the
grease wagon teamsters voted to handle
nothing f.r meat dealers who are "un
fair." The teamsters will not haul
any refuse except for dealers who pat
ionize the independent pacxers only.
President Donnelly has had a confer
ence with the executive board wi'h the
"League of American Business Men,"
which was organized to raise funds for
the strikers. A committee was formed
lo extend the movement to ail parts of
the city instead of confining it to the
etockyards district. The league has
raised the race issue, taking the ground
that if the packers will not end the
strike all the white residents will be
drivn from the stockyards region and
that the place will become a negro set
tlement with a population of at ltaet
70,000 men. women and children
Will Emerge a Cruiser.
Odessa, Aug. 22. In spite cf the ac
tion of Great Britain in protesting
against the passage through the Dar
danelles of the volunteer fleet steamers
St. Peteisburg and Smolensk, it is
learned on excellent authority that se
cret orders have been issued to the
Sarafoff, a sister ship to the St. Peters
burg, to make the journey shortly.
She will be sent out as a hospital ship,
but singularly enough during the last
week ammunition hoists have been
placed in position, while it is known
she carries a battery of rapid fire guns.
Utah Makes a Bid.
Salt Lake City, Aug. 22. The city
council committee on public grounds
has made a strong bid for the perma
nent home of the American Mining
congress. The committee decided to
offer to donate to the congress the fine
vacant lot due north of the city and
county build iDg for a site for its per
manent home. The lot is about 50x
165 feet and is to be given on the sole
condition that the congress erect a
suitable buildings upon the site.
Russia Buys More Steamers.
Brussels, Aug. 22. Russia continues
to secure modern steamers for use aa
transports, she has put chased the 4,
400 ton Tiberius and the 3,500 ton
Caludius, both English built boata of
high speed.
LOSS IS MILLIONS.
Tornado Sweeps Over St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
St. Paul, Aug. 23. Several persons
were killed, a number are reported
missing and 50 to 100 were injured,
some fatally; business property and
residences were damaged to the ex
tent of perhaps $1,000,000; the mas
sive steel bridges across the Missis
sippi were wrecked and strained;
shade trees were leveled and much
other damage was done in St. Paul and
Minneapolis by a tornado which broke
over the two cities shortly alter 9
o'clock last night.
Apparently the storm was. of a local
character, for as far as can be learned
no damage was done in the neighbor
ing towns. The storm was particular
ly severe in the business districts of
the two cities. Windows were blown
in and roofs torn from immense whole
sale warehouses and the flood of rain
which accompanied the storm did im
measurable damage to stocks of goods.
Dwelling houses, churches and schools
also-suffered greatly.
Railroad traffic between St. Paul and
Minneapolis was entirely cut off.
The street railway systems of both
cities were prostrated. For hours after
the storm had spent its fury it was im
possible to get into communication
with Minneapolis, the telephone wires
being demoralized. Rumors of great
loss of life were rife, but on being
tracked to their sources were found to
be incorrect.
All telegraph wires were down and
the Associated Press was compelled to
send men to stations down the river
before communications could be estab
lished with the outer world.
The storm was of short duration,
lasting not more than 15 minutes. The
devastation it wrought was terrific.
The wind, according to the government
weather observer blew 80 miles an
hours, coming from the southwest.
Buildings were unroofed and fronts
blown in, the cellars being flooded by
the rain which came in great waves
along with the wind. Electric wires
were prostrated and many persons
were injured by contact with electric
light and trolley wires.
PACKERS WILL FIGHT.
Gourt Must Decide on Their Right
House Employes.
Chicago, Aug. 23. The packers will
apply to the courts for an injunction to
prevent the carrying out of the city's
orders that the strike-breakers be no
longer housed In the buildings in the
stockyards. This was decided on at
a meeting of the legal representatives
of all the packing firms, save one, that
are affected by the strike.
Agents of the packers hurried about
the yards today reassuring the non-union
men and rushing the work of re
habilitating barracks to be entirely
separate from the slaughter houses.
Arrangements were made to bring in
tents to cover every available vacant
spot for the same purpose. Small cir
cus tents were sent for to meet the
emergency. Swift's carshops were soon
taken possession of by mechanics, who
began fitting up the plant's bunkhouse,
and the same was done with other
buildings, apart from the killing de
partments. Every effort was made to
prevent a stampede of non-unionists.
The packers declare it was successful
and that the exodus was no larger than
is usual on Saturdays. Union pickets
reported that the desertions were
heavy and that the non-union men
were in a state of terror.
ACTION SAVES MANY.
Captain of Ferryboat Rammed Makes
Harbor Quickly
New York, April 23. A hundred pas
sengers on the ferryboat South Side,
plying in the East river between Tenth
street and Green Point, have been
saved from possible death by quick ac
tion on the pait of a captian of a New
Haven Railroad transfer-boat. The
ferry boat 50 yards out in the stream,
making for the slip at the foot of
Tenth street, when she was rammed
by the big float carrying 15 freight
cars. The float's prow penetrated
nearly to thee enter of the ferry boat
on the side of the ladies' cabin. The
passengers fled in terror, many of the
women in the cabin having been cut
and bruised by flying glass and splint
crs. The captain of the transfer-boat
realized that if he backed off the ferrr
boat would float helplessly away and
sink. Whistling for help, he ordered
on all pressure, pushed the helpless
ferryboat toward the docks, and suc
ceeded in shoving it against the pier of
the slip where the passengers quickly
scrambled through the windows and
over piles of freight to the street. A
few minutes later the South Side set
tled to the bottom.
Darkness and storm, together with a
misunderstanding of signals, probably
caused the accident.
Panama Enters Denial.
Panama, Aug. 23. President Ama
dor today informed the correspondent
of the Associated Press that there was
no truth in the report received in New
York yesterday, from Buena Ventura,
Colombia, to the effect that the govern
ment of Panama had stationed a gar
rison at Fort Nugui, at the confluence
of the Atrata and San Juan rivers,
thereby assuming formal possession or
a wide strip of the Colombian depart
ment of Cawes. The president added
that Panama wants peace with all na
tions and especially with Colombia.
Answer Is Held Up.
Washington, Aug. 23. In reply to
the State Department's instructions to
request President Castro to put the
New York & Mermudese Asphal Com
pany again in possession of its proper
ty in Venezuela, pending the decision
of the Venezuelan supreme court in
September, Minister Bowen has cabled
that he has laid these representations
before the Venezuelan foreign office,
but has not yet been able to secure an
answer from President Castro.
CHINA MUST DO
Japan Demands That Russian
Ships Disarm.
ARE READY TO SEIZE THEM
Mikado Also Determined to Ignore
Chinese Note Calling for Return
of Torpedo Boat Ryeshitalni.
London, Aug. 19. The Associated
Press learned this afternoon that Japan
has made a demand on China, prac
tically in the nature of an ultimatum,
that she immediately enforce her neu
trality in the case- of the protected
cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat
destroyer Grozovoi, now at Shanghai.
Japan pointed out that the limit, 24
hours, perm tted by international law,
had expired, and Japan therefore, was
at liberty to take such action as may
eeem to her expedient.
At the Japanese legation here it was
expressed that the Tokio government
had no intention of remaining quiescent
:f Russia attempted to compel China to
give asylum to her men-of-war, and
authorized repairs at her ports which
would enable her to resume belligerent
operations.
Should China fail to comply imme
diately with Japan's demand, the di
vision of a Jpanese wart-hips now in the
vicinity of Shanghai will, the legation
declares, be instructed to enter the
port and capture the Askold and Groz
ovoi, as was done in the case of the
Ryethitelni. Japan has made no secret
of her intention, but has not consulted
the powers, believing the matter is one
which concerns herself alone, as Japan
is prepared, the legation further as
serts, to recognize Chinese neutrality
only as long as it is respected by Rus
sia. With regard to the Ryeehitelni,
Japan, it is asserted, is determined not
to comply with the Chinese demand,
submitted in compliance with the Rus
sian note, that the veseel be returned
to Chefoo. Japan insists that to all
intents and purposes Chefoo has been a
Russian base during the war, Chinese
junks having been fitted out there and
sent through the Japanese blockading
vessels to Port Arthur. No answer has
yet been given by Japan to the Russian
protest in the case of the Ryeshitelni,
but when it is made it will be commu
nicated to all the powers.
BATTLE WAS AT LONG RANGE.
Japanese Fleet Kept Five to Eight
Miles From Russians.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 19. Further
interesting details of the sea battle of
August 10 received at the admiralty
from Captain Matouzevitch, ot the
Czarevitch now at Tsin Tau, show dis
tinctly that it was a long range fight
and that the Russians, sailing in close
formation, were placed at a great dis
advantage, not only by the superiority
of the Japanese numbers, but owing to
the fact that after encompassing Ad
miral Withoeft's vessel they were ena
bled to pour in a remarkably deadly
fire on the fleeing ships.
The captain says the Japanese kept
at a distance of eight, and never less
than five miles. The efforts of the
Russians to close with the Japanese
and sink some of their vessels by ram
ming them or by gunfire, even at the
cost of themselves going to the bottom,
were unsuccessful. The Japane-e
would not perrrit the Russians to ap
proach, but the rain of projectiles never
ceased.
GIVE UP HOPE OF PEACE.
Financial Preparations for a Long
Struggle are Begun.
Chicago, Aug. 19. It seemed appar
ent today that the labor leaders had
given up all immediate hope of peace
through any action of the packers, and
were making financial preparations for
a long struggle. It was paid to be
improbable that any attempt would be
made to extend the strike to unions
not already involved. One chief
reason for thie is that unions not al
ready out, it if said, are not anxious to
strike, bnt the reason the strikers give
is that the more men that strike, the
smaller will be the contributions to
the benefit fund.
Not Expected to Surrender.
St. Petersburg. . Ana. 19 The an
nouncement of the mikado's offer o al
low noncorabatants to leave Port Arth
ui, coupled with the demand for the
snnender of the garrison, causes a re
vulsion of feeling here. The original
report that noncomhatans would be pet
mitted to deDart before the storm inar
operations began was regarded as a
humane and considerate act . i ne wai
office is wihout official information of
th snmmons served on General Stoes-
sel, but not the slightest idea exists
that he will yield.
Deem Stopping Unwarranted.
London. Auir. 19 Birtish shipping
circles are disturbed owing to the con
tinued stopping of British steamers by
Russian cruisers. The case of the
Scotian is considered to be quite un
warranted, as she was only in the coal
trade between Newcastle-on-Tyne and
Cotisca and carried no contraband.
Great satisfaction is felt that Foreign
Minister Lansdowne's protest to Russia
covers all points of the contro
versy. - :
Sudden Demand for Flour.
San Francisco, Au. 19. An inspec
tion of the cargo which is now being
loaded on the Doric, which is to sail
for the Orient tomorrow reveals the
existence of a sadden demand for flour
at Shanshal. It is estimated she will
carry 3,000 tons.
FURTHER CHECK TO FRAUD. ,
Public Land States are Divided Into
, Districts.
Washington, Aug. 20. Ii render
the inspection of the service, of the
general land office more effective, the
acting secretary of the interior today
divided the public and states into nine
inspection districts, placing a special
agent in charge of each. This special
agent will have supervision ovei all
other special agents assigned to this
district and will have charge of all in
spections carried on in that district,
being in turn directly responsible to
the general land office.
Oregon has been made a special dis
trict with 8pecial Agent Thomas B.
Neuhausen, of Minnesota, in charge.
Washington is another separate dis
trict with Edward W. Dixon, of Ore
gon, in charge, while Idaho and Mon
tana combine to make another district
under Harry H. Schwartz, of South
Dakota. These special agents were se
lected from the list of five land offices
because of their proficiency and adapt
ability foi the service and will receive
$1,500 instead of (1,200 as heretofote,
with an allowance of $3 per day for
subsistence.
Nicholas J. O'Brien will be in charge
of the Idaho-Montana district.
Oregon and Washington are the only
states that constitute sepacrate dis
tricts. The experience of the past two
years has demonstrated that with all
special agents repotting direct to (he
general land office at Washington it
has been almost impossible to keep
check on those who go wrong. Num
erous discharges have lately been made,
because special agents have been found
participating in fraudulent land opera
tions, locating settlers on desirabble
lands, furnishing speculators with val
uable inside information, etc. It was
this discovery that led Land Commis
sioner Richards 1 1 work out the new
system which was approved today.
Special agents in charge of tbe dis
tricts will have headquarters at local
land offices to be sc lected by them .
Each will have a civil service clerk,
whose salary will be $1,000 per annum.
TO SAVE TIMBER.
Fire Alarm System May Be Put
in Reserves.
Washington, Aug. 20. The agricul
tural department is considering the
advisability of installing wireless tele
graphy in forest reserves throughout
the West with a view to making the
system of forest protection moie effect
ive. While the present ranger ays' m
is quite successful, numerous large f
have occurred in reserves patrolled v by
rangers because of their .inability to
reach the fires at the time of their
origin. Secretary Wilson's idea is to
provideeach reserve with a practical
fire protection system that can be used
to give an alarm the moment fire is
discovered and get the settlers and the
rangers to the scene without delay.
While not satisfied wireless telegraphy
can be employed wi h good effect, Sec
retary Wilson believes the plan worthy
of investigation, and has directed Chief
Moore, of the weather bureau, to tour
tbe Black Hills' reserve in -outh Da
kota with a view of determining the
possibilities of this new service. If it
is found wireless telegraphy is too ex
pensive or impracticable, Chief Moore
will report on some other fire alarm
system which will be effective in reach
ing rangers in all parts of the reserve,
as well as settlers upon and adjacent to
the reserve. If some system can be de
vised that will not be too expensive,
Secretary Wilson will recommend its
adoption ami ask congress to make the
ne essary appropriation for equipping
all the forest reperves in the West.
It is believed such a fire alarm sys
tem will be especially valuable and
practicable in a reserve like the Black
Hills, where large mining interests are
conducted within the reservation and
employ a large force of men. Secre
tary Wilson will not go into details in
discussing his plan, nor will he show
how it is proposed to use wireless tel
egraphy. He wishes little publicity
given the proposition until Chief
Moore reports.
Can't Stop Use of Wine.
Washington, Aug. 20. Despite the
protest of the Christian Endeavor so
cieties of Connecticut, the traditional
bottle of wine will be broken across the
prow of the battleship Connecticut
when she is launched. Acting secre
tary of the Navy Darling, in his reply
to the protest, said : "Permit me to
suggest that you and the 3,000,000 of
people you represent ought to find com'
fort in the thought that wine thus ex
pended can neither imperil the soul
nor contribute to tha cup of human
sorrow."
Tenders His Resignation.
London, Ang. 20. The correspond
ent of the Standard at Tientsin says
that Lieutenant Newton McCully, of
the United States navy, and Lieutenant
Decniverville, of the French navy
have left that port. The correspond
eqt adds that the Chinese admiral, Sah,
has tendered his resignation and offered
h'meelf for punishment on account of
his inability to prevent the Japanese
capturing the Russian torpedo boat de-
stioyer Reyeshitelni.
Cruisers Heard From.
London, Aug. 20. A dispatch to the
Central News from VladivostoK says
the cruisers Rossia and Gromohoi, of
the Vladivostok squadron, have return'
ed there.
Handy Farm Gates
Win. Scott, a Manitoba farmer, con
tributes te the Montreal Herald and
Star illustrations of two forms of gates
which are used with satisfaction on his
farm. The gate represented in Fig. 1
is used over the farm, while Fig. 2
represents the small garden gate. Mr.
Scott has five of the larger gates, three
of which have permanent wheels, and
when harvest is over the wheels of the
horse rake are attached to the remain
ing two. The gate rests on the wheel.
whether closed or open, the revolving
wheel carrying the gate around
whether opening or closing. The gate
rests at the back end on a block of
wood, in which there is a socket, and
in this a gudgeon at the foot of the
gate head rests and turns. Mr. Scott
6ays his 3-year-old boy can open an
18-foot gate of this sort with ease.
The garden gate shown at Fig. 2
swings across the open end of a fixed
V-shaped enclosure. To pass through
one steps into the enclosure, draws
the gate past himself and passes out
on the other side. Mr. Scott remarks
that whenever this gate is opened it
shuts in the same operation. ,
Early Plowing for Wheat. v
While all wheat growers recognize
the necessity for late sowing of wheat
to avoid, as far as possible, the rav
ages of the hessian fly, all do not see
the necessity for early preparation of
the soil. It is generally believed that
much of the loss from winter freez
ing might be avoided by the early
plowing of the ground for winter
wheat
Early preparation of the seed bed
is easier than late plowing; it gives
one a chance to get rid of the weeds
more effectively, the seed bed may
have one or more extra harrowings or
rollings and, altogether, put in much
better condition than when the plow
ing is done late. Then, too, should
the ground be not In the best condi
tion at seeding time, the thorough prep
aration previous will count for a
great deal, enabling one to catch the
ground for the final harrowing and
rolling whenever it chances to be right
for such working. ,
The question of varieties should also
receive more consideration than it does
and an excellent way is to look up the
best wheat fields in your county on
similar soil and ascertain what varie
ties are grown. In addition to this
every wheat grower, large or small,
should have a test ground for new
sorts. It will pay for its cost in giv
ing one accurate knowledge of sorts.

To Preserve Fence Posts.
In some sections of the country the
division of fields by fences is some
thing no longer done, but the majority
of farmers still feel that they should
divide their fields. The work involved
in fence-building is so great that one
does not care to do it very often, hence
it will pay to go to some trouble to
preserve the posts, these being tbe
parts of the fence which need renew
ing first.
While there are many preservatives
recommended, all of them doubtless
more or less valuable, the old plan of
smearing the end of the post with gas
tar is about as good as any. Of late
years a strong solution of copper sul-
via. 1.
FIQ. 2.
phate has been used for this purpose,
with considerable success. It take
time and trouble to prepare the fence
posts with either preservative, put on
as it should be, but it pays to do it,
for the posts will last double the num
ber of years.
Valne of Root Crops.
There has been much controversy ot
late years concerning the relative
values of root crops and silage. This
seems to be one of the questions that
ought not to be discussed, inasmuch
as the two crops, in the writer's opin
ion at least, are essential and one will
not take the place of the other except
in the sense that either provides succu
lent food for stock.
When we commence to compare the
cost of raising either crop we get lnte
interesting figures. Those who have
tried it know that it is hard to sow
the seeds of root crops by hand, and
they also know that until the plants
are large enough to hold their own It
is hard work keeping the weeds down.
As to the feeding values of the two,
unquestionably the silage is the most
valuable, and if called upon to decide
between the two I would select silage
every time.
If one has a good silo the root crops
will have their greatest value In fur
nishing a variety in the menu, but
it is where the silo is unknown that
the root crops ought to be extensively
grown as furnishing a succulent food
and a digestive at comparatively small
cost, as well as a crop which may be
stored for winter use at small expense.
Alfalfa for Orchards.
While it has been stated by a num
ber of successful apple growers that
alfalfa makes an excellent crop to
grow in the orchard, it is believed
by those who have experimented ex
tensively along this line that the prac
tice is not a good one, Those who are
familiar with alfalfa know that it'
roots deeply and consumes vast quan
tities of potash and phosphoric acid
and moisture, as well, all essential to
the proper growth of the trees; it is
therefore plain that the crop is one
which should not go into the orchard.
Put the alfalfa in the open field af
ter inoculating the soil with alfalfa
bacteria; sow seed at the rate of 25
pounds to the acre and if the soil has
been well enriched with the essential
plant food, nitrogen, potash and phos
phoric acid, the chances are all in fa
vor of its taking hold. If It doesn't,
try it again and again, for it will pay
to go to some trouble to get a perma
nent stand of alfalfa.
Cotton-Seed Meal for Cows.
Dairymen find it difficult to carry,
the cows along properly during the
droughty days of summer on pasture
alone, and all proper grains have been
tried wi.- varying results. One of
tbe best summer grains is cotton-seed
meal, for while feeding it will not ma
terially increase the milk flow it will
keep it nearly to the standard and will
keep up its quality, which is quite as
important. The feeding of it also
makes better butter at all times, and
particularly during the summer. While
the quantity fed varies according to
circumstances, from two to four
pounds per cow daily is about a fair
ration and will give results which will
warrant the expense at any season.
$10 an Ear for Corn.
Some of the Illinois corn shown at
the world's fair has been sold to a
South American farmer for $10 an ear.
He bought ten ears, selecting the fin
est from the entire exhibit. This Is
pedigreed corn of the finest quality
ever ' raised in this country and was
produced by a young farmer near De
catur. He does not claim to be an
expert, but has simply learned the
best agricultural information he could
get in the newspapers, and applied
practical common sense to his every
day work. The Illinois corn exhibit
at St. Louis comprises specimens from
nearly 5,000 farmers' boys in the State,
who raised it from soed sent out by the
agricultural college. Drovers' Jour
nal. General Farm Notes.
Drive slowly the first hour after a
meal.
Light and dryness destroy fungus
growths.
Thorough grooming cleanses the hlds
as well as the hair.
Add to the capacity of the farm by
adding to the strength of the soil.
Anything less than fUil feeding at
any period is a sacrifice of net profit.
Clover is richer than grass in mus
cle formers and is the best for young
stock.
Droppings deprived of the urine lose
the larger share of the potash they
contain.
It is always ruinous to dispose of
any branch farming when prices are
unsatisfactory.
Next to old horses old sheep are
among the most disappointing animals
which are kept for profit.
In breeding be sure to select a male
that is from a family better in your
line of dairying than your herd.
Generally the smaller the farm the
better tne cultivation and the greater
the profit for the expenditure.
Keep a close watch over the suck
ling colts. A blemish or an injury
now may ruin the value of the future
horse.
The dirt and sweat which accumu
late on the horses during the day
should never be allowed to remain on
over night.
The pure bred animal Is the more
valuable simply because of its greater
capacity to appropriate favorable cir
cumstances. Tbe pure bred animal
makes from scrub conditions no more
than the scrub does.
