A Missouri Bank Robbed, Sweet Springs, Mo., Nov. 22.—The Bank of Sweet Springs was robbed about 3 o’clock this morning after the safe had been blown open with dynamite.

It swept @ path through these counties a half mile wide, almost totally destroying Boxley, Murray, Lawgap, Ororak, Dale, Boston, Judea, Trath, Omega, Dryfork, Dinsmore, Parthenon, Mossville, Lime- stone, Redfork and other hamlets, The tornado split at the head of Multerry creek, a portion going through Tum and Smedley into Ozark where a num- ber of houses were blown down. The main storm almost wiped out Piney, where the largest loss of life was. There probably are 30 dead at that place, Knoxville and London, A second tornado came from the di- rection of Louisiana and traveled north through Lafayette, . Pike and Hempstead counties. Had this storm continued 40 miles further there would have been a junction of the two tor- nadoes. Lewisville, Lodi, Ozan, Mur- fresboro and other towns are reported to have suffered severely, with a scattering loss of life. MISSOURI-KANSAS WANT A DUTY. Producers in the Zinc Fleld Before the House Committee. Washington, Nov. 24.—Fourteen Mis- sourlans and Kansans, representing the sinc industry of the two states, have arrived here to urge the ways and means committee of the House to Teport favorably on a proposition to impose a duty of one and one-half cents a pound on all zine ore import- ed from Mexico and from other coun: tries in competition with ore mined in this country. Representatives of the industry from Idaho also are here for the same purpose.

The old-time idea was that the farmer totled from dawn till dark— eixteen and elghteen hours a day, and bad avery much more difficult Iife of 1¢ than the artisan with union- labor houre or professional man twiddling his pen over writing paper six hoursa@ day. The new farmer knows that though the day’s work may be sixteen hours in the rush sea- son, it is often less than four hours {n the rainy and dull seasons, and that the farmer’s day’s work totals up fewer hours for the whole year than the artisan’s; to be exact, I think the figures are between six and seven hours for an average. The new farmer knows to a cent what his labor costs him {n wages and board, and what returns in cash that labor gives him, and whether the margin of profit is big enough to guarantee keeping certain hired men.—Agnes C.

Milwaukee, Nov.—The most terrl- ble slaughter of hunters ever report- ed in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan has been the feature of the several weeks preceding the actual opening of the deer hunting’ season, which is not due to begin until midnight. There have already been twenty-one deaths this year and thirty-seven hunters have been wounded, some sertously. The majority of the cases were where there was ‘carelessness in the use of firearms and a larger propor- tion of the deaths than usual were those of the careless hunters them- selves. In other years the compan- ion of the careless hunter has been the victim. This year nearly halt of the dead have killed themeelves. Cooking Ability is First.
