Don't Miss "Rip." A Columbus audience Is seldom given tho pleasure of listening to an artist who can distinctly and faithfully por tray the ten different characters of so difficult a dramatization of "Rip Van Wlnklo." Yet all can realize some thing of the mastory it requires of voice, expression, art and acquaintance with human character to so accurately por tray personages so antagonistic to each other. In this respect Mr. Spraguo is a finished and graceful nrtlst. Anothor pleasing feature of Mr. Sprague's read ings Is that he at once acquaints his hearers with a historic knowledge of the play a bit of enjoyment that It quite frequently denied an audience, Mr. Sprague gives each character a do' llghtful Individuality that Is most re freshing.

Destructive Gale! Silk Hill In Cyclone's Path and Greatly Damaged. PART OF ROOF BLOWN aoo FEET FROrt THE BUILDINO. Over Two Hundred Persons In the Mill None Seriously Injured A Miraculous Escape. In tho western country when hulld ngs are razed to tho ground by wind It is called a cyclone or tornado, In this section of the country tho weather ob server dubs it "high wind." Bo it called "high wind" or cyclone, the fierce gale that 8Woocd down iiHn a section of this pi uce nt a forty-mllo-an- hour gait at 1.25 P. M. Saturday loft ii in In Its path and spread consterna tion In Reynolilsvllle, Tho only de struction of any consequence Bt this place was at tho silk mill. Without a moment's warning tho "young cyclone" pounced upon tho south end of tho mill and In a few seconds totally destroyed 1)0 feet of tho second story, leveling tho walls even with tho second floor, and toro out tho south-west corner of tho building down to tho foundation. Will I j the freakish gulo was getting In Us destructive work on the silk mill, over two hundred employees wero In the building and It Is miraculous that thoro were no lives lost or serious Injur ies sustained. A few received slight Injuries. Tho screams of tho frighten ed employees, who are mostly boys and girls, and tho mad rush to get out of the building Is Indescribable. Tho ex citement was Intense In town when the news spread that tho silk mill had been blown down, and In a few minutes after tho destruction a largo crowd was hur rying across tho trestle side-walk us fast us they could In tho fuce of tho high wind that was still sweeping up tho valley. Our istopln expected nothing else but that a number of persons were killed nnd others badly Injured when they saw what tho wind hud done ut tho mill, which could he soon from any place on the north side of the creek. Hud tho wind destroyed tho north end of tho building there would havo been loss of life und a greater loss of property. On tho second door of that portion of tho mill destroyed there were only a few machines and a few cm ployces at work, and on tho first floor of that portion of the mill wero forty- eight liHiins that were not running. The second story of the mill, and the largo rafters of second floor, were de stroved over the Idle looms. When the gale struck tho building it raised 110 feet of tho roof, including tho heavy beams, and carried It 200 feet away from the building, then the wall on the west sldo fell In on second floor, the wall on east sldo fell outsldo of building and tho end wall fell towards the south, some of tho brick of end wall were carried one hundred feet away from the building. When tne wind struck the building there was a loud report and those on the second floor, In destroyed portion, saw the roof raise and before they could get out of the way some of them were caught in the debris. Two. or three twisters who started to go down the stairs in south end of building wore blown down the stairs with brick, Ac, flying around them, but escaped without Injury. W, C. Blankenshlp, a one-legged twister, who was working near the west side of second floor, had tho narrowest escape of any. He was caught between the framo of tho machine he had been work ing on and tho brick wall. When be extricated himself he wept to back stairs In his excitement nnd finding the stairs obstructed ho jumped down to the first floor. It is estimated that tho damage to machinery and silk goods will amount to 91,000 and tho damage to building is from $0,000 to 117,000. Tho end of the building where the wind ceased its do' structive work has been boarded up and men are at work cleaning away the de bris. The mill was started again Mon day morning. Some of the large windows were car ried some distance from tho mill by tho wind and only a few lights of glass wero broken. J. W. Place, president of tho silk mill, who was at his office in New York City, was telegraphed of the wind's work at tho mill und ho started for Reynolds' villo that evening, arriving at Ridgway Sunday noon and ho drove from Ridg' way 40 miles to Reynoldsvlllo Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Annie Wlnslow, like many un other woman In Reynoldsvlllo, started to the silk mill Saturduy when she learned what had happonud. She took three sheets with her for bandages, sup posing, of course, that a number would be badly Injured. On the hill near Hopkins' mill the wind uprooted trees and ut tho mill It unroofed 150 board plies and twisted things around badly In the lumber yard. East of town trees were blown down but no serious damage to property was done. Tho fierceness of the gale seemed to confine Itself to a narrow strip. During the high wind the awning In front of the Bargain store was tipped to pieces and a lurge plate gloss In S. T. Reynolds' dry goods store, that had a small break In it before, was broken from one end to the othor. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Glimpses of the People who are Passirlg To and Fro.
