Editors Columbian, Dear Sirs: The Commissioners' state ment over tho signature of clerk Bodine, dated August 6, 1890, purporting to bo the yearly expenses, Indebtedness and assets covering a period of 11 years was a llttlo too late to pull tho old Board of Commis sioners out of the mud. The county statement of tho last Audi tors' settlement should havo been quite suf ficient, but it appear J that the old Board did not feel secure under Its shelter. It Is not out of placo to ask a few ques tions concerning Bodlne's last statement appealing to tbo votors and taxpayers of Columbia county. If there is $11,703 08 in the treasury and tho expenses of last year wero only $25,093.98 why did tho Commissioners again levy 2 mills on tho dollar valuation to meet current expenses? What was tho motlvo for attempting to al low such a large surplus to accumulato in tho county treasury when timo aro so depressing? From tho last statement it Is evident 1 mills on tbo dollar valuation would havo been quite f ulllcient, and had that been levied the voters of Columbia county would havo sustained the old Board without a doubt. Tho people can never appreciate reform until they can feel it In their pocket books, Public officials must learn to understand that tho moro money they can leave among the people tho better for both officers and people. What wero tho Commissioners going to do witb the surplus? Qokbist. A perfect complexion, free from pimple or blemish, Is very rarely seen, because few people have perfectly pure blood.

HOLME'S BUILDINGS DB3TR0VBD TW O PBKSOXS UWU1IED. The farm of U. U. Uulme lies Just this side of tho village of Benton. Its broad acres and fino buildings mado It tho ad miration of all who passed. Bat it is now a Bccno of devastation. On Tuesday aftor. noon a cyclono demolished tho buildings. It was seen by John S. Kliuo, who says it was funnel shaped, growing largor at tho op, coming to a point at the bottom, car ylng up all that it touched. It was black iside and bright outside. Mr. Kline ex pected It to strike his buildings, but It pass ed around. The tornado came toward the northeast. Timber in its track was twisted and torn out by tho roots. It struck Mr. Hulmo's large barn and tore away the north and south wings and unroofed near ly all of tho main part; tore tho straw shed to pieces and Jcoverod several cows up with straw. The cows wero rescued un hurt. Several horses were In tho barn, and were not Injured, though It was a couplo of days before tho debris could be removed so that tho doors could bo opened and tho horses removed. They wero wat ered and fod in the meantime. Tho ice house, and wagon houso were demolished, and tho granary moved off, Its foundation. Tho small buildings aro all gone, the root was carried off the front part of the house, but not of the kitchen. Trees in front of the houso wo.c twisted off, and one torn up by tho roots. Seeing the storm coming, Mr. Hulmo's mother went out to shut tho granary door, when aho was caught by flying timber, and ono leg was broken In two places, and her head was cut. Bho is seriously Injured. A girl living there had her anklo dls- ocated. Dr. Gardner was called to attend tho Injured. It is impossible at this writing to esti mate the damage. This was no doubt the samo cyclono that passed on over tho mountain and did so much damage at Wllkes-Barre and other points. Two Men Hacked by au Ax. A. TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER WITH AN INDIONJ HUSBAND. Danville, August 17. A murderous aft ray took placo In Danvlllo last night under circumstances which show that t was ono of tho most shocking that evor occurred In Montour county. Two men were hacked to pieces by an enrazed husband in resent ing an indignity to his wife. For a time the wildest excitement prevailed, but the facts connected with the case develop. cd themselves, public opinion has gono in sympathy with John Mlnlnles, the perpc. trator of the crime. Mlnlnles is now in jail awaiting tho result of tho hearing, which is to decide whethor ho can bo admitted to bail or not to await action of court. The affair took place lu a sparsely popu. lated portion of tho city and very little of the tac' are known. Frank Schuraski and Patrick Monahan, the victims, wero about town unl'l a lato hour. They had ...-.-.1 . I ! t. ... 1. . 1. 1 . .. I. ,t , , samo direction as Minlnics lived. Upon nearlng the residence of tho latter they stopped and mado somo nnlso which at tracted tho attention of Minlnics, who ap peared in tbo door followed by his wife. A DEBl-ERATE F.QIIT. One of the men told her to go In and mind her own business, as their interflow was Intended for bcr husband. This sho refused to do, and then one of the men took the lamp which her husband held and flung It at her. A fierce struggle en sued. Mlnlnles seized an ax, which ho swung right and left with terrible effect. Monaban was struck in tho forehead, which was split across the templo. His companion, Schuraski, received a blow in tbo back of the hoad which tore it open. Besides these wounds their breasts and shoulders wero horribly gashed, and physi cians havo no hopo of their recovery. Mrs. Minlnics, when rescuers arrived, was found unconscious, with her body hi 'f out of a window, where sho had fallen from a blow received In tuo melee, tier uusband was but slightly Injured and expresses himself as satisfied with his work.

NKAL, JAMICH II. Pa no Ciiwano, China, Mat 20, 1890. Mt Dear Mother: Hero wo ate at this Interior station of tho American Board about 80 miles from Cho nan too, waiting for Mr. Murray's whcol-barrow, which ho promised to havo here for us by this morning at latest, but which up to this hour, 4 o'clock, has failed to appear. Wo are very much , disappoint ed at tho delay, as wo aro moro than anxl -ous to get to our destination before It gets any hotter. Wo got away from Tientsin a week ago last Thursday by nattvo boat, llko tho one I wroto father from, going up to Tung Cho, and with my trunk, ono sea trunk, bags, lunch baskets, a small table, a stool and rocking chair, It Is so closo and crowded as to bo rather confining on a rainy day, and woefully hot whon tho sun shines. Wo wero delayed at Tientsin near, ly a day after wo woro ready to leavo ow. ing to a mlstako In my passport which had to bo corrected, and after wo got started wo had such stray hoad winds and a day of rain, that wo had a most tedious, tire somo trip, not reaching this placo for dis embarkation until naon of last Baturday. Wo had accompanying us another boat carrying somo of our housohold goods. By the timo wo had gotten most of our goods packed on wheelbarrows, and tho rest stor ed away to await future o'dors, it was half past six In tho evening, but notwithstand ing tho lateness of tho hour wo determined to tako a cart for this place, 45 11 south ( a 11 Is I of a mile ) as wo wero both so sick of our boat, and of tho fusi and worry con nected with moving our things that wo were anxious to get away from foreigners and spend a quiet, comfortable Sunday. We had a very plucky mule and a good naturcd carter, and moonlight until mid night, but the man lost his way so often it was ono o'clock in tbo morning when wo reached hero very tired indeed, but glad to get to bed In a foreign home, away from such closo contact with tho Chinese. Mis. Murray had Invited us to stay with her, and oven at that unseasonable hour gavo us a warn welcome. Sho is ono of our missionaries in Cho nan foo, but staying here temporarily keeping house tor Mr. and Mrs. Smith who aro at Shanghai at tending a missionary conference. By morn ing wo were somewhat rested and prepar ed to enjoy a very pleasant, quiet Sabbath, In marked contrast to our two last Sun days, which wero both spent on native boats. I know of nothing uoro dreary than a Bunday on a houso boat anchored to a canal bank, or in a Chinoso Inn, so that yesterday was all tho moro refreshing In comparison with our previous cxpor'cB ccs. Whilo at Pang Chwang wo woro entertained at lunch and dinner by Dr. and Mrs. McCluro. Mrs. McCluro was form erly Mrs. Balrd of Canton, and Dr. Mc Cluro a bcotchman of about my own age, who belongs to tho Canadian Presbyterian Mission. They aro both very pleasant. His mission Is having a very tedious, wearisome time trying to securo a foot hold In Uorean, and tho prospects aro far from bright for the futuro, as the people, or rather the officials, are very much op posed to them and anxious to prevent their getting in at all. Horcan Is said to bo ono of the most hostilo provinces in China, to foreigners. This station of Pang Chwang is unique among mission stations, being located in a village of probably less than a thousand Inhabitants (Instead of In a city, as is usually tho case) rl ;ht in the midst of this great plain of China . Wo did not see-tho sign of a hill in all our trip from Tientsin, or rather from Pck'ng all the way here, and hero nothing but a flat surface everywhere is to be 'seen. All the work of this station lies around within easy reach, the farthest being only 30 miles away, a moderate day's journey; their membership amounts to four iundred. All their foreign buildings are together in one compound, thero being three foreign ono story dwelling houses, a church, and dls. pensary and hospital; tbo medical work being very large, tho people coming long distances for treatment. Thero aro regu larly two doctors stationed here, beside several other missionaries, among them two sisters, tho Misses Wychoff, who came out nearly thrco years ago. Wo shall not now get to Cho nan foo before Thursday, nnd if tho barrow Is delayed, or we have rain, not until later. We aro getting very tired of traveling, our experi ence in coming up stream in a houso boat being most wearisome. Tho heat during the first thrco days from Tientsin nas most excessive but was modcratod by rain on Monday, our progress was so slow we seemed to lie fairly crawling, tho wind being favorable only ono day. Wo have been gone now forty one days from Tung Chow and only thirteen havo b;en entirely free from travel, 23 wo havo traveled cither more or less, except two Sundays. Cub Nan Foo, Baturday, May 31st, Wo reached hero yesterday morning In time for breakfast, having been detained half a day only forty II from tho city by very hleh wind, which prevented our crossing the Yollow river until nearly o'clock, consequently wo were compelled to spend another night in a Ohineso inn which was anything but agreeable ; tho Inns, in which wo spent our three nights being about the worst I havo ever seen. Tho second and third night we wero in the region which had been overflowed by the Yellow Itlvcr, and the room we wero offer ed was so damp and so dark, having only a small window, that in preference we bad , our bed spread out of doors under a horso 1 , , ' .... . , , shed on a platform of wooden doors put on trestles, &a, slept In ope i air; tbo third night we slept in a room without a door, on a bed made up In tbo same way as that of tho night before By the timo we reached hero our patience was almost ex hausted, for we never havo been so tired of Cblneso travel and never moro disgusted with its Inconveniences as on this trip; of courso our going to Peking and thenco to the Great Wall, mado it by far tho longr ,t trip wo have ecr taken, and wo bad to many delays that we reached here about a week later than we had planned or. Wo enjoyed our wheelbarrow experience, wo could thus be together, sitting on op posite sides of the b .rrow, and could read to each other and talk all wo wanted to, Wo read Bcott's "Fair Maid of Perth" be tween Pang Chwang and hero. We camo dtrectly hero to Mr. Chaltant's, where we shall bo several days until we can get our own houso in order. I went to call on all our fellow missionaries yesterday, and In tho afternoon Mrs. Neal and I took a look over our new promise I. Tho home wo aro to havo in Che nan foo Is tho least dcslra bio of auy wo had since we came to China; even tho old templo in Tung Chow was better. The premises are very conflnsd the buildings aro of mud and crowded to gctber, most of them aro mud color but somo of them have been white-washed. Most of tbo windows open out on a blank wall near by so that tho rooms aro very closo and dark; some of them don't open In any way. It 1) already very hot and wo will doubtless feel tho heat here very much, At first we thought we must do somo fix. log in tho house b"foro moving Into it (thero is but one closet or cupboard of any kind in it) but it is hot already, I am anx ious to get to teaching, and wo really can't dccldo what wo do want yet ti'l wo get a little accustomed to living In a natlyo I,K,TT1(R house, so wo havo declJod to get along Mil Autumn as we can, and then mako such changes and Improvements a) aro nocess- ary, Tho rooms aro very small and a high wall surrounds tho promises I which Inter feres with good ventilation. Wo think though wo can make It answer, especially if tho placo noxt to ours can bo rented ( as it is offered ) tor a temporary hospital un til land can bo procured upon which to build ono. It is discouraging to find onr furniture has been a good deal defaced, and a good many things brokon In coming from Tung Chow, from careless and rough handling, though they had bcon packed with great caro. Wo aro enjoying our stay with Mr. and Mrs. Chalfant very much. With lovo. Affectionately your son. James B. Neal. llnie nntl.
