The storm left a path of olation through the city, though lasted but two minutes. Two hundred buildings were blown n, including the principal stores, ories and mills of the town, and the cyclone swept on in & northeast- ly direction to New Holland, where many persons werekilled. Dozens of jersons were injured here and some “of them will die. © The tornado, coming from the (southwest, struck the southern por- tion of Gainesville at 12:45 o'clock. came almost without warning with htful roar, turning day into it.

A man who calmed the boat refused to let the rescuers use it, but he was brushed asfde. At the window they saw & mother and three children up- on an old-fashioned, equare-topped piano, the water was up to their knees. The mother and two children were taken aboard, but there was no room for the eldest, a boy of 7 years. He saw the situation and said, “Go ahead and save mamma, I'll stay here,” Instantly one of the young men stripped his coat and was over the side swimming toward the pillars of the trestle, making room for the lit ] tle fellow in the boat. Worst of All Experiences. | Can anything be worse than to feel that every minute will be your last? Such was theexperience of Mra. S. H. Newson, Decatur, Ala. “For three years” she writes, “I endured insuf- ferable pain from indigestion, stom- ach and bowel trouble. Death seem- ed inevitable when doctors and all remedies failed. At length I was in- duced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I’m completely recovered,”’ For liver, kidney, stom- ach and bowel troubles Electric Bit- ) ters is the only medicine. Only 50c. It’s guaranteed by H. L. Tucker druggist. A stranger and a Joplin woman of doubtful repute started on a carouse together the other night. Before they had proceeded farther than the nearest wine room the police ran themin. The next morning they were released in police court at the same time. As they left the station the man remarked. “It seems to me T have seen you somewhere before.” In the ensuing conversation they were shocked to discover that they were brother and sister. The man, who gave the assumed name of Wilbur, left for his home in Shreve. port, La., five years ago, and has since knocked about over a large part of the globe. Not long after- ward his sister, who was very young, also ran away and drifted into the downward path.

Brady dropped $21,000 in & game of freezeout with Charles Evans of the famous old comedy team of Evans & Hoey. Evans, an outsider, purchased a stack of blue chips and announced that he would welcome a game of freezeout at $1,000 o side. Brady commanded Mr. Evans to produce his firat thou- sand, Success smiled on Evans for two hours, when a slight advantage came to Brady. Every hand after that, however, went against Brady until he wrote a sight check for $21,000. Woman Feudist Killed. Ft. Worth, Tex., May 29.—William Chapman, Jodie Price and Mrs. Hands were shot andinstantly killed during a family feud yesterday, in Shelby county.
