THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1S05.
SPAIN has nt last made up her talnd to
proffer that apology. But she has waited
so long about It that nobody cares very
much whether she apologizes now or not.
THE Spaniards In Cuba report that they
have just won another great "victory"
over Maceo, the insurant leader. By
day after tomorrow we niny learn Just
how far the Spanish forces have been
compelled to retreat In consequence.
The cap and gown Idea for commence
ment exercises has not found favor with
the Honesdale school board. At Its pes
slon last week the following resolution
was presented and unanimously adopted.
"Resolved, That the suggested innova
tion for the graduating clsss to wear caps
and gowns on commencement evening Is
unanimously disapproved, and that the
graduates be requested to dress simply
and inexpensively. And we deprecate
the custom of publicly making presents
to members of the graduating class and
also regret the large expense annually In
enrred for flowers. And we trust that
the good sense of the parents and scholars
may aid us to check these growing Inap
propriate and extravagant practices.
And, be It further resolved, that all
flowers given to the members of the
graduating class be placed at the front of
the platform before the beginning of the
exercises and no flowers presented during
the exercises " The graduating class bra
approved the policy of the board.
"When Colonel Waring, the oirlsh street
Commissioner of New York city, says the
Carbondale Leader called the members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
"pension bummers," he probably ex
pressed the sentiment of the kid glove
snobocracy of this whole country. Tho
men and the sons of the men who Bent
substitutes and staid at home and got
rich during the war have now only con
tempt for the bumble, men who ask their
country to give them pensions. Perhaps
some pensions have been granted to un
worthy men. Nlnety.nlne hundredths of
them have not. At a time when they hud
all that life offers aspiring youth before
them, these young men turned their backs
upon It all and went out to fight that
this Union might be preserved. They
gave up the trades thoy were going to
learn, the education they were going to
get, the professions they were about to
acquire, the commercial enterprises that
were to enrich them, and became soldiers.
Some of those who went were older and
left families of little children dependent
on their daily wages. When gold was at
p tr, In the beginning of the fight, they
got $11 a mouth pay. Afterward, when
it required $2 85 of our paper money to
equal one of gold, the soldiers'
pay was $18 a month. Boiled down
to a gold 'basis, this was equal to
lass than 16 a month, less than half what
the poorest paid laborer in America re
ceived. Thousands of them left their
bones decaying In unnamed graves on
southern battlefields. The men who staid
at home raised big crops or manufactured
supplies for the army at the highest
prices or lent money to the government.
The soldier got 40 cents on the dollar, the
bondholder lent 40 cents to the govern
ment and got back a dollar, with Interest.
This Is cold fact. More fortunes were
made during the civil war than at any
other time in this country's history.
Those who made them handed them down
to their children. The soldier's children
sometimes went to the poorhouse, some
times were supported by charitable
neighbors. When the war was over, the
old boys were turned out to catch on
again and pick up a living as they might.
Hundreds of them were maimed and halt
and blind. Thousands of them had spent
the golden years of their lives standing
up to be shot at for M a month, gold
basis, and the year thns sputthey never
have bean able to make up again In the
race for a oompetauoy. These, with their
toll stiffened hands, their plain clothing
and white hairs shall the American kid

School Children.
Wichita, Kan., May 3. A special from
Halstoad, Kan., says: About 4 o'clock yes
serday afternoon a.fcarful cyclone dovas
tatcd a strip of country sovoral hundred
yards wldo and at least sixteen miles in
length, killing six porsons outright and
severely injuring sovornl others, while
many havo received' slight Injuries. Tho
oyolone struck tho houso of Mrs. Fry, a
widow who lived about nlno miles south
west of Halsted, completely destroying it
and slightly lnjurlug Mrs. Fry. It picked
up tho' houso of John Schultzback and
scattered It In every direction,
Tho fluo two story houso of Joseph Weir
.was entirely swept uwny, killing Mrs. Jo
seph wolr, Grnco Weir, aged 11 J Herman
Wolr, agod 5, and n5-wcoks'-old baby. Mr.
Wolr had previously left tho houso, and
whon tho cyolono struck it was about fifty
yards away. Ho clung to a troo, but was
badly Injured by flying debris, and will
die. Joseph Weir, Jr., and his sister,
Maud Wulr, tlio only' ones In tho family
who took to tho cellcr, oscaped With only
(light brulsos.
Tho homo of E. C. Caldwell, which was
100 yards to tho west of tho Wolr home,
was unroofed and ono sldo torn nwny.
The family escaped by taking to tho col
lar. Tho noxt houso in tho path of the
storm was William Armstrong's, which
was completely wiped from tho f uco of tho
earth. Mr. Armstrong was killed, Mrs.
Armstrong seriously and perhaps fatally
Injured, and Grandma Chapln, who was
thoro sick In bed, was killed. About a
hundred yards cast of tho Armstrong
hoUso tho largo two story residence of B.
E. Frlzzel was picked up, as was also the
largo two story houso of J. F. Frlzzel,
located jtlst across tho road, and both, to
gether with tho outbuildings, wore com
pletely swopt nway, leaving only enough
debris to show that a houso stood thuro.
Tho families of both tho Frlzzels escaped
Injury with tho oxcoptlon of Mrs. J. F.
Frlzzel, who was corfsfdornbly brulsod
about tho head.
The noxt placo visited was tho homo of
Captain William' White, which was only
partly destroyed, ono wing of the houso
Doing torn away. Across tho road from
White's tho homo of Cyrus Hlnkston was
entirely carrlod away. Mr. Hlnkston re
ceived painful, but not serious Injuries.
Sponcer Ross bouse was in tho lino or tho
tornado, and was carrldd nway, as wero
also tho homos of A. S. Powoll, J. A.
Comas, Andrew Thompson and Monno
Hego. Miss Daisy Neff, at Powell's house,
was badly Injured, as was Mrs. J. Comas.
At the Hego district school tho children
had just been dismissed. Mr. Hego saw
tho storm approaching, and fearing Its re
sults hurried tho scholars to his cyclono
collar. His foroslghtedness provontod an
awful holocaust, for just as tho last child
had been safoly stowed away In tho cellar
the cyclono struck tho houso over them
and domolishod it. As it was not ono of
them was ovon slightly Injured. Tho fury
of tho storm seems to havo done Its worst
about flvo miles west of Halstoad, whore
all six of tho persons woro klllod.
Thosowho ilrst saw tho disastor coming
say it made very slotv progress, traveling
not fastor than a person eould run. It
seemed to waver first in one direction,
thon in another. As far ns heard from,
covering a dlstanco of eighteen miles
across tho country from southwost to
northwest, twenty residences, nearly nil
of thorn large ones, were completely de
stroyed. Tho loss will fall not less than
1300,000, besides tho six deaths and tho
Injured, two or throo of whom will prob
ably dio.
Physicians from Wichita wont to the re
lief of tho injured and local assistance is
glvon to tho suffering families. Every
body in tho track of tho storm lost overy
.thing, and outside aid will probably have
to bo callod for.

AN ALARMING REPORT.
Investigation Proves No lit Feeling II o
Uretm Indians nml bottlers
FAliao, N. I).. May 1. United States
Marshal Cronun rereiveil tho following
dispatch from Deputy buiiiiller, at St.
Johns: '"Between 2X) and it JO hos'tlles at
Langan are preparing to real St, Itud citi
zens nro leaving St. Johns through fear.
if you como at all, bring nsslstauco enough
to quiet tho dlsturbauco uud protect set
tlers."
It Is stilted also that tho IudlnUs had
burned the bodies of sottln'rs who had tes
tified nguliwt them. But on running tho
story down It appeurs that but ono caso of
that kind has decurrcd. Sunday tho mar
shal and deputy had a council with tho In
dians who had rescued a half breed
charged with cutting timber on govern
ment land from arro-it, and told that thoy
had como there to arrest tho parties, and
unit mey suouiu surely uo 1C. ijiuiOBiicu,
chief of tlio Turtle Mountain Indians, told
thorn that tho government had nevor paid
tho Indians for their land, that ho had
given permission to out tho timber, that
ho had a right togivothut permission, and
tnnt they would not. allow any ono to bo
arrested for cutting timbor under his or
dors or with bis permission.
Tho marshal reiterated tho statement
that thoy had como to mnko arrests and
intended to do It. Tlio Indians askod who
thoy wnntod, mid on boing informed, thoy
callod tho porsons, and when thoy camo in
tho marshal road tho warrant and under
took to m.iko tlio arrost, but tlio Indians
forcibly roslstod. Tho mnrshal returned
to Fargo and wired tho uttoruoy genoral
for Instructions. Tho olTouso Is slight at
rriost, and fooling is general among tho
sottlcrs that tho Indictments against
Bottlers and othor3 in that region aro
moro for tho purposo of making fees for
officers than any othor purposo.
Thoro Is no probability that anything
will como out of tho alleged outbreak.
There is no fooling botwueu citizens and
Indians, but towards Sbindlcr, tho deputy
who inado tho nrrost, and has made ulnt-
self obnoxious in othor matters, tho feel
ing Is blttor.

Dr. It. V. PlEItCE : Dear Sir When about
three years of age I was taken with
mumps, also had fever, finally I had that
dreaded disease Scrofula. The most
eminent physicians in this section treated
me to no avail. I had running scrofulous
sores on left side of neck and face. I was
small aud weakly when eight or nine
years old, and In fact was nearly a skele
ton. Six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery wrought marvelous
changes. Although the sores were healed
in eight months, I did not quit taking It
until I was sure it had been entirely
routed from my system. The only signs
left of the dreadful disease are the scars
which ever remind moot how near death's
door I was until resoued by the ''Dis

and weigh 148 pounds, and have not been
