STORMS IN MANY STATES. The Great Lakes, Too, Were Swept by Greet Winds. Chicago, Ill, April 20.—Three . wrecked vessels lay along the shore of lake Michigan this morning to | tell the story of last night’s severe | storm. Fortunately the crews es-| caped in every case and so far as re- ported the fury of the elements cost | no human life. A life-saving crew which did noble work in rescuing a wrecked vessel, was capsized shortly before noon and only the prompt work of a tug crew saved the lives of other men. ‘The names of the wrecked vessels are the schooner F. L. Danforth, the barge Mike Carry and the schooner City of Sheboy gan. NEARLY A SCORE LOST. Milwaukee, Wis, April 20.—The house over the water-works crib was swept away this morning and fifteen men at work were rendered helpless. Fiye or six men could be seen cling- ing to the machinery and timbers with fierce waves sweeping over them. Five of the life-saving crew refused to obey orders to go out in the life-boat and the tug Starke left the harbor about 9:30 o'clock, but was forced to return as the sea broke idescriptions of live stock, wind struck a neighborhood of farms. Tom Lot's dwelling was swept away, and his legs were broken, and vther members of the family slightly bruised. Jno. Smith’s house was leveled and he received serious injuries.

April 20 —Dan Adams a negro was taken from the Sheriff by an organized mob at 8:30 oclock to-night and hanged to a tele graph pole at the Union Pacific De pot. Adams had been sentenced in the District court to day to a term of seven years in the penitentiary, and Deputy Sheriff Philips had started with his pnsoner expecting to leave }on the Santa Fe train at 8 o'clock | He boarded the train and secreted his prisoner under the seat.

Meridian, Miss., April 20.—Pas- sengers on a train which reached here this morning gave particulars of a tornado that crossed Jasper and Ciarke counties yesterday, causing the loss ef several lives and doing thousands of dollars of damage. The storm started in Jasper county, thirty-five miles south of here and traveled in a northeasterly direction. There a settlement of negro cabins was destroyed and many of the un- fortunate inmates perished, and Col. Berry's plantation was swept clean, but fortunately none of his family were injured. Near Baraett Dr. T. J. Krouse, one of the largest plantation owners of the south was a heavy loser, every stick of timber on his place being earried away and every house demol ished, while he himself was badly injured and his son had his skull crushed and his wife and daughter were slightly hurt.

New York, April 19.—Jimmy Con- nors, a 15 year old boy, conceived then the idea of going to the World’s Fair, and told his chum, Gene Ral- ston, of the scheme, which the latter readily entered into.

The Randolph County Board of Equai- | ization Makes a Discovery. Moberly, Mo, April 16 —The County Court of Randoiph county sitting asa Board of Equalization during last week added some $80,000 to the property listed tor taxation— $60,000 here and Huntsville $20,000 —but in doing so they discovered ;an extremely lame place in the rev- jenue law. It is this: Section 7.539 Revised Statutes of 1889, proyides \that parties holding shares in any | building and loan association in this | State, ete, shall give a just and true list of the same to the assessor, with the cash value of each share on the 1st day of June in each year and tax shall be levied on the same as on other personal property. Sec. 7,540 provides that such taxes® shall be paid by the corporation (building and loan) See. 7541 provides for a penalty of $1,000 to be recovered by indictment against the president or chief officer of the corporation for |failure to comply with the provision j of this article | Now here comes the difficulty: | The party holding or owning shares of stock caunot tell what the shares are worth on the first day of June in each year as they fluctuate in value owing to the condition of the money market and there is no | Provision in the revenue law which |compels the officers of the corpora tion to either give the uames of the shareholders or the value of the share on June Ist and, as a result such shares of stock escape taxation en- tirely. This thing has grown to such pro portions in Randalph County that it is very seriously affecting the rev- enue of the county and doubtless the same thing obtains in other coun- ties of the state. If Mr A has $1,000 or $10,000 to invest he puts it in a building and loan association and thus escapes, through tnis lame place in the law, all taxation, whereas it he invests it in any other way he must pay taxes on it. If the county court calls on the secretary of any building and Joan association for a list of of the shareholders, the num- ber of shares each holds and the value per share of their holdings, he replies: “Show me the law that makes it my duty to give you this informa. tion from our private books and I will do so,” and the county cout must stand mate, make up the ne cessary revenue for catrying on the county business from the poo: man’s ' BATES COUNTY National Bank.
