DEACON BROS. & CO, Wife Deserters to Be Punished. Why the Lobby is Necessary. The Louisana supreme court has| St. Louis, Aug. 7 —Col. William H. affirmed the conetitutionality of an act passed by the legislature at ite last session which provides for the punishment with imprisonment at hard labor of men who desert their wivesand children. A number of ar- reste were made shortly after the law went into effect, but punishment of the culprits was suspended, as the act was supposed to be unconstitutional. The supreme court’s decision now settles the matter, and in the future the Louesiana man who gets mar- ried must bear the consequences It is to be hoped that the decision will not have a tendency to discourage matrimony and there is no likelihood that it will If it does, the ones who will permit themselves to be frightened away from marriage by it will be better off single anyway. Louisiana hasmade @ good start in this matter and it should now provide for the imprion- mentat hard labor of wife beaters. That done, the state will haveaclear Phelps, king of the railroad lobby, gave a brief exhortation on boodling and lobbyiem before the grand jury, in which he made some statments which may become as famous as his celebrated egg sucking epigram. “I have represented some very great interests at Jefferson City,” said Col. Phelps, “and it would hard- ly be proper for me to place my per. sonal interests above their rights.” “It {t were not for the sandbaggers who are sent to Jefferson City it would not be necessary to maintain a lobby there,” “The railroads are forced for their own protection to keep @ man onthe scene of action. Without a lobby the sandbagging system which has been adopted at the state capital would bankrupt every railroad in- terest in Missouri.” Removed a Child’s Heart.

Denver, Aug. 6.—Details of the hail storm which prevaled along theeast- ern slope of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and Southern Wyoming last night show it to have been much more severe than first reported. In some sections the hail fall was un- precedented. In the neighborhood of Greeley and Eaton, in the north- ern part of Colorado, chunks of ice, measuring in some instances teninch es in length, fell and thedamagedone was immense. Hail lay on the ground in many laces to a depth of two feet. The } wares in and around Lafayette is estimated at $200,000. n A Feed your hair; nourish it; | give it something to live on.

Although the operation performed on Miss Toom- ey has been attempted only eleven times in the world and has resulted successfully fewer than six times, it is believed that her robust condition will enable her to recover from the supreme shock of having her heart manipulated with the forceps.

CYCLONE STRIKES MINING CAMPS. Two Killed and Sixty Injured in an Eight-Miles Sweep in Kansas. Pittsburg, Kan., Aug. 8.—About 1:50 o’clock this morning a tornado passed through the thickly populat- ed mining district north and east of Pittsburg, destroying hundreds of houses, mine tipples and buildings of every description, leveling to # mass of wreckage a large portion of every camp between the Devlin Miller shaft north of Frontenac and the Morgan shaft on the state line and convert ing into ruin a strip of thickly popu- lated territory eight miles long and two miles wide and leaving death and desolation in its wake. At least two persons were killed and fully 60 injured in the storm, and perhaps many others were injur- ed whose names have not been pro cured. The tornado swept across thecoun- try from the northwest and whirled in 8 southeasterly direction, doing great damage in all of the mining] ” camps, which are thickly clustered in that section of the country. The destruction appeared to commence at the Devlin-Miller camp, known as the Millarton, and from there south- east through camps 17 and 31, Nel- son,- Midway, Yale, Cornell, Litch- field and the camps, terrible damage to all. The property loss will not begreat, for most of the homes destroyed were the humble houses occupied by the miners and in most cases belonged to the coal companies, Three Blown to Pieces.
