RESCUED FROM TORMENT Every Joint in His Body Racked by Rheumatism. Could Not Move His Arm and Was in Corstant Pain—A True Story of a Remarkable Case. Zanesville, 18 Park place, Ohio, writes: work un account of rheumatism. I had the disease in my hips, back and arms, In fact, in every Joint in my body. The pain was intense, and I suffered the most excruciating agony. My doctor could not do anything for me, and I tried every remedy that could be suggested. None of them did me any good, and finally my joints became stiffened and sore. At times I could not move my right arm and was in constant pain. I procured a bottle of Munyon’s Rheumatism Cure, and within @ short while was completely cured.

Po: 1119 Lith st, SWEPT BY A _ CYCLONE Twenty Dwellings Destroyed and Six Lives Lost, The Foresight of a School Teacher Saved the Lives of All the Children. A tornado devastated a strip of country several hundred yards wide and at least sixteen miles in length near Halstead, Kan., yesterday afternoon, killing six per- sons outright and seriously injuring several others, while many have received slight injuries. The storm struck the house of Mrs. Fry, who lived about nine miles southwest of Halstead, destroying it and siightly injur- irg Mrs. Fry. It picked up the house of John Schultzback and scattered it in every direction. The two-story house of Joseph Weir was ewept away, killing Mrs. Weir, Grace Weir, aged eleven; Herman Weir, aged five, and a five-weeks-old baby. Mr. Weir had previously left the house, and when the storm struck it was about fifty yards away. He clung to a tree, but was tadly injuréd by flying debris and will die. Joseph Weir, jr., and sister, Maud Weir, the only cnes in the family who took to the cellsr, escaped with only slight bruises. The home of E. C. Caldwell, which was ene hundred yards to the west of the Weir home, was unroofed and one side torn away. The family escaped by taking to the ce| The Text house in the path of the storm was William Armstrong's, which was de- molished. Mr. Armstrong was killed, Mrs. Armstrong seriously and perhaps fatally injured, and Grandma Chapin, who was there sick in bed, was killed. More Destruction. About 100 yards east of the Armstrong house the large two-story home of B. E. Frizzel was picked up, as was also a large two-story house of J. F. Frizzel across the read, and both, together with all the out- buildings, were swept away, leaving only enough debris to show that a house nad stcod there. The families of both the Friz- zel’s escaped injury, with the exception of Mrs. J. F. Frizzel, who was considerab!y Liuised about the head. The next place visited was the home of Capt. Wm. White, which was only partly destroyed, one wing of the house being torn away. Across the road from White's the home of Cyrus Hinkston was entirely carried away. Mr. Hinkston received painful, but not serious, injuries. Spencer Ross’ house was in the line of the tornado and was carried away, as were also the homes of A. S. Powell, J. A. Comas and Rev. Thompson and Menno Hege. Miss Daisy Neff at Powell’s house was badly injured, as was Mrs. J. Comas. Hurried Into a Cyclone Cellar. At the Hege district school the children had just been dismissed. Hege saw the storm approaching, and, fearing its re- sults, hurried the scholars to his cyclone cellar. His foresightedness prevented an awful loss of life, for just as the last child had been safely stowéd away in the cellar the cyclone struck the house over them and demolished it. As it was, not one of them was even slightly injured. ‘The fury of the storm seems to have done its worst about five miles west of Halstead, where all six of the persons were killed. Near the Frizzel home dead horses, catile, hogs and chickens are scattered all cver the wheat field. Those who first saw the disaster coming say it made very slow progress, traveling not faster than a person could run. It seemed to waver, first in one direction, then in another. As far as heard from, covering a distance of eighteen miles across the country from southwest to northwest, twenty dwellings, nearly all of them large ones, were com- pletely destroyed. The loss will fall not less than $200,000, besides the six deaths and the injured, two or three of whom will probably die. Physicians from Wichita went to the re- lief of the injured, and local assistance is given to the suffering families. Everybody in the track of the storm lost everything, and outside aid will probably have to be called for. Halstead is a town of 2,000 inhabitants, in Harvey county, in the south central part of Kansas, on the Little Arkansas river, nine miles by rail from Newton. lo AN ABSOLUTE DISAGREEMENT. Different Opinions as to the Plaus for the New Gunboats. For the first time in its history, the board of naval bureau chiefs have come to an ab- solute disagreement, and have been obliged to so report to Secretary Herbert, leaving him to determine which side is right. The disagreement grows out of the designs for the six new gunboats, for which plans were prepared by the construction bureau, and tere are two reports on the subject, one signed by four members of the board, total- ly disapproving of the plans, and one signed by two members, vigorously uphold- ing them. The four members object that the boats proposed will draw fourteen feet of water, and so would not meet the re- quifements of the act of Congress, whic describes them as light-draft gunboats. They also hold that the fitting of the ves- sels with a complete full-sail power is a mistake, as the experience of the depart- ment with such vessels as the Adams shows clearly that no steamer fitted with sails can beat against the wind, and there- fore the sails will be almost useless in average conditions. On the other hand, the supporters of the plans undertake to demonstrate that the vessels will be effi- cient and very much more economical than boats without sails, arguing that the criti- cisms of the others are founded on els not given full sail power, and giving figures to support their assertions. ee Mr. Depew on Politics, While Mr. Chauncey M. Depew of New York was in Cleveland, Ohio, yes- terday attending the annual meeting of the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate roads, he was asked if he would be in Cleve- lend to attend the meeting of the republican league clubs next month, Mr. Depew said he was sorry to say that it would be impossible for him to attend that gathering or the Municipal National League convention, to be held in Cleveland, to both of which he has received invita- tions. hat about national politics, Mr. De- ew?” the reporter asked. “Too early to discuss national politics; nothing has developed yet.” “Whom do you favor for th “I am from New York stat: for Gov. Morton.” “Ohio, you know, is for Gov. McKinley?" presidency?” and we are “Ohio ought to be for Gov. McKinley. He is an able man.” “How about ex-President Harrison's chances?” “As I said before, it is altogether too early to discuss national politics.” “But aside from personalities and candi- hances what do you consider will issues of the campaign?” “There will be but one issue. Hard times and good times. The republicans want nothing better.” “What about the tariff and silver?” “Oh, the tariff and the silver questions will no doubt enter into the campaign, but they will only be incidental issues.” ee Miners’ Strike in West Virginia. The strike Is on in the West Virginia coal tields along the Norfolk and Western .ilroad. Not a mine is in operation. A ng of 15,000 miners was heid at tone yesterday to organize and perfect asures to induce or force thePocahontas, men to join the strike. A delegation inted for that purpose. No dis- tisfaction exists among these Virginia s they have not been cut. In the rsal to join the strike force btless will be attempted, and both sides determined. The citizens of Pocahon- vill aid the home miners, and they ample arms and ammunition. The Virgina miners are swarming into Virgina on every train, and the situation is alarming. oe ee The excursion season at Marshall Hall opens May 1. Mcrning and_ afternoon trips to Mt.

The opening game ofthe Departmental Base Ball League, bétiyeen the teams of the District Commissioners’ office and the bureau of engraving #44 printing, will be played Saturday insteaduof today, as orlg- inally announced in thé/schedule. Some of the officers of the league visited National Park yesterday to seedfthe grounds would be in anything like cofidition for today’s game, and they wisely“eame to the con- clusion that a postpohefpent of the game until Saturday was necessary. The ground yesterday was covered by a sheet of water and the grand stand and bleachers were soaked with the rain which has fallen during the last four or five days. At least two days of good weather will be required to harden the ground sufficiently to allow the players to walk on it, and it is hoped that by Saturday the water will have drained off and the sun dried the seats. President Sousa has called a meeting of the league for tonight, when the question of a shorter playing schedule will be taken up and thoroughly discussed. The schedule which was adopted at a recent meeting provides for seventy-two games, and this 1s too many, in the opinion of several of the managers of the clubs und a few of the executive officers of the league. A schedule calling for thirty-six games 1s favored by this element, and it is thought that they will carry their point. *s League Games. Pitchers. R. H. E. .

So much Gen. Pate has decided upon. He has not yet decided <6 enter her in the trial races, but as :the yacht will meet the others on the Néw York cruise, it is a fair assumption that she, will be seen in the trials. The alteration§ which were pro- posed at the time the syidicate was being formed for her purchase will now be made, ard it should be a fastét and in several ways a better Jubilee which will cross the starting Hine in the season's race. “This does not mean, however, that we have cup racing especially in mind,” sald Gen. Paine. “In fact, I have no intention of entering the trial races, and am simply seeking a summers pleasure. “But you will follow the New York cruise?” “Certainly,” was the reply. “And you will feel the Vigilant and the defender out a little?” “I ucually enter all the races that are going when my boat Is in commission and in condition,” replied the general. The Prince Not Coming. BOSTON, Mass., May 2.—A special from Newport, R. L, says that a gentleman known to be very close to Commodore Morgan of the defendor syndicate, both in a business and a social way, says that there is practically no likelihood at all of the Prince of Wales coming over to see the international cup races.

Manager North left two weeks ago to arrange the details of the different con- tests in which the team is expected to enter and will be at Princeton on the date of their arrival to meet them. Capt. Koch says the team was never in better condi- tion, and that if they all feel aa weil on the day they meet Princeton as they do now, some startling records will be made. had just received word that the Uni- sity of Wisconsin wished to_meet the team on their return trip, and that the Chicago Athletic Club has made a good offer for a meet to take place in the mid- dle of June. These two propositions for contests were entirely unexpected afi in all probability their challenge will be accepted. Two silk banners with embroidered fig- ure of a bear and the word “California” on each have been presented to the team by the U. C. Alumni Association. ‘The contests arranged for up to date in which the team will enter are as follow: Princeton, May 11; Pennsylvania, May 1 American intercollegiate championship,New York, May 25; western championship, Chi- cago, June 1; University of Michigaa, June 8; Llinois or Denver Athletic Clubs, June 15.

The terrible going at the St. Asaph track yesterday did not prevent the talent from finishing lengths ahead of the bookies in the scramble for the ducats, five favorites beirg picked by them. The other race went to an outsider, Curious. The stake race of the day was the Analostan, for three-year- olds, at a mile. But three, Owlet, Golden Gate and Sir Dixon, jr., went to the post, and they finished in that order. The win- ner is a bay filly by.Rossington out of Mary Owsley, and she romped in, the time being 145 3-4. Sixteen bookmakers weighed in, and the disagreeable weather was respon- sible for a small attendance.

Local patrons of base Lall are promised by Mr. Schmelz that the team will finish ninth or better; in other words, that it will beat all previous local records. The 1892 team finished in tenth place, with a per- centage of .384. This is the best any local team has ever done.
