The number of acres being in all about 600. The farmers to get rid of them,” said Mr. Sevier, “have been using poison freely aud one of the gentlemen above named informed me that he thought he had killed a wagon load of mice in his fields.” Bates County populists have com- promised the announement question and the Free Press says that town- ships which have favorite sons for any of the various offices will be al- lowed to make their announcements through the columns of the populist press.

It was one of the | most devastating storms that has) lever passed through the state. At) Frankfort the people had ample | warning of the approaching tornado, | and saved their lives by taking to cellars and caves. Almost the entire residence portion of the little town was swept clean from the ground, and nething was left except founda. | tions, walls and gaping cellars. Hardly a board or'shingle was left | in the track of the cyclone. A total of about sixty houses were blown away, including the Christian church, valued at $1,500; the Methodist church, $2,500 and the Presbyterian church, which was built of stone. Considerable damage was also done near the town of Barnes, and several people were injured in a church, which was destroyed, the | building being full of people at the time. About the church were tied a number of horses and buggies and these were killed ina heap. Near by is the town of Bodaville and this place was left io ruins.
