Story of a Tornado.
Joe Wi-hie, of Oklahoma, was in the
city ilie other day taking depositions
in an important piece of litigati >u from
that c mntry. 110 completed the woyk
fast evening and returned home. He
was in company with United States
Marshal Nix, of that Territory, who is
e muecied with the Buit in which they
vere taking depositions.
Mr. VYisbie was for many years a
resident of this Slate ami was prominent
m polries during the time. Since go*
ing to his uew home ho was a candidate
lor Congrfgs, hut was beaten. When
he lived in Missouri his homo was at
Marshfield, the city down near Spring
field that was devastated by a tornado
several years since, w hen so many peo
ple were killed. Mr. Wisbie’s home
was swept away and everything he had
demolished. With his family he e$
capod from a terrible death in a most
rematkahie manner.
His visit to the city yesterday, wh *re
ho met several old friends, caused the
events of that terrible day to be dis
cussed by them, and inasmuch as it is
a good story .aud has some unusual fea
tures, it is given :
Mr. Wisbie was at home, and, like
the other citizens, was watching the
storm cloud that was gathering. It
was Sunday afternoou. There was
something about the cloud that was un
uruil and people watched it. They
had heard ol tornadoes and they feared
it was one. Sure enough, it was.
The storm cloud formed at no distant
point from the village and came direct
ly towards it with a deafening roar.
Houses were swept from the face of
the earth and lost in the blackness of
the storm. Trees were uprooted and
carried no one knew whither.
It was a magnificent spectacle of the
destroying element in action. In front
of the storm was a city with hundreds
mi Usrifad witia—■ i i. sho wafceof tW
storm was a picture of desolation nev
er excelled in the State, while in the
gtasp of the storm was death and de
struction in its most terrifying form.
As it came sweeping on to the city
with great speed Mr. Wisbie saw it
was certain to reach his home. His
wife and baby were iu the bouse. If
they were to be saved it was to be done
quickly.
Fifty yards from the house was a
ravine four feet deep and very narrow.
Seizing his child hejand his wife ran
to this place with all speed. Down to
the b ittom of it they went and lay
down. He lay across them iu
patiou of danger. They wore scarce
ly iu the place before the storm went
over them. It was a moment of an
guish while they waited, and Mr. Wis
bie described it iu the most vivid man
ner. lie was not a church member
and had never made any pretense of
preparing for the future.
Down there in that muddy raviue
he says he asked God to spare his fam
ily, and he would be obedient to the di
vine will ever afterward. He says he
meant every word of the prayer.
As the storm weut over them they
seemed to be forced into the earth with
an unseen force above them. It lasted
but a moment, but in that moment Mr.
Wisbie says he lived an age and suffer
ed all the horrors that seemed possible.
Then it cleared away and the storm
was over. The roaring storm went on
iu its work of destruction and the gen
tle patter t>f the summer shower was
aeard.
People who were unharmed hurried
out to see what had happened. Mr.
Wisbie went out of the ravine with his
family safe, and was confronted with a
perfect picture of desolation. Not a
stone was left of his beautiful home.
It was swept frotp the earth and car
ried away.
l he homes of his neighbors suffered
likewise, and as the noise died away he
C'uld hear the lamentations of the suf
ferers and the shrieks of the injured.
For hours he worked with the dead
and dying, and while he was deprived
of his home he felt that he was satis
fied when he viewed the dead and the
injured of his neighbors, who, too, had
lost theii home*.
Shortly after the storm the memory
of that prayer while in the raviue came
back to him. It was a solemn promise
atid he had never failed to make his
word good. Speaking of it to a friend
| be said he had never lied to a man, and
S he was not going to tell the first one to
: God Almighty, especially as he had
! gotten the best of the bargain. He

Heirs Wanted.
T II K WI.KItLY is iu receipt of the
following letter which we publish that
it may load to the information wanted,
as we know _ nothing of the
parties spoken oi:
Owensboro, Ky., Aug. 21.
Editor Weekly:
If you can give me any information
concerning the present, address of any
of the heirs of William Edwards, broth
er of Mihs S. Edwards ami grand son
of iioht. Edwards, it will he greatly
; appreciated. Recent developments iu
a long contested case in New York
City have made it very important to
locate the living heirs at once. Wil
liam Edwards is supposed to have set
tled somewhere in Georgia about 1830
or 1810. Thanking yon in advance
for your kind assistance, I am,
Yours very truly,
A D Powers.

Y\ . 11. Wilder, Mayor of Albauy,
Ga., says he has suffered with Rheuma
tism lor fit'teeo years, and iu that time
he tried all the so-called specifics, but
to no purpose. His grandson, who
was on the B. & W. Railroad, finally
got him a bottle of P. P. P. The first
bottlo of P. P. P. showed its remarka
ble effects, and after using a short time
the rheumatism disappeared, and he
writes he feels like a new man, and
takes pleasure iu recommending it to

Love and Marriage.
. That matrimony is a happier state
than celibacy when it means a union of
hearts as well as of fortune there is lit
tle doubt, but, though many people
marry for love, or something they mis -
take for it, very few of these unions
lead to lasting happiness. Why is
this ? *
The great reason seems to me to be
that in most lives the ruling passion is
self, and upon this rock everything
which cornes in contact with it is shat
tered sooner or later. A man will of
ten fancy himself very much Tu love
with a pretty and sprightly girl, and
all the mo’-e so if site has some means
of her own. Now, thmroal fact of the
case very likely is simply that the girl
amuses him, and he pictures a little
home with her as its mistress as a
pleasant change from bachelor “dig
gings.” In fact, what he calls love is
only another name for pure, uuadul
terated selfishness. lie thinks of him
self aud not of her, and wheu lie dis
covers, as he seyu will after marriage
that she has rights, claims and wishes
to he satisfied as well aB himself, he
will probably at first feel very much
surprised, and then aggrieved and in
dignant.
Perhaps the girl may be iu her way
as selfish as the man, and have married
for the sake ol position , wealth, inde
pendence from paternal control, or
some equally unsatisfactory reason. If
this be the case, then as soon as the
little veneer of mutual attraction and
sympathy which they called love has
worn off, both man and woman will
find the marriage bond irksome and
will look back wistfully to their old
dtjj’s of freedom.
In a case like this certainly we can
not say love has be#n destrojed by
marriage, for, though both young poo
pie may have fancied they loved, it
was a mere delusion, which time aud
better acquaintance must inevitably
have dispelled without the help of mat
rimony.
Look at a higher and happier mar
riage, one in which both parties start
with a true affection for the other and
a capacity for greater love, and also
with a firm purpose of making the oth
er happy. A few years pass, and how
does one find these wedded lovers ?
She is probably absorbed in her chil
dren and her household cares, and her
husband is of very secondary impor
tance to her. Why is this? She has
simply bored aud then alienated her
husband’s love by her demonstrative
affection, which iu unmarried days was
kept iu check by maidenly coyness and
modesty. For a short time it pleased
him to feel he was her all in-all, and
that outside him she had no seperate
life ami interest, but then her very de- I
votiou palled ou him, and he at last, as
it were, became quite surfeited with
the sweets for which he had never oh- j
laiued an appetite by fasting
For tuarriago to be happy love inusi
be cherished and it must be restrained,
encouraged, carefully nurtured anil
guarded, or it will take wings and fly
away forever.

Merely an Exchange.
Ou a Michigau avenue car, day or
two ago, two mnu, each of whom hal
an umbrella in his hand, sat side by
side. After a few minutes one of them
said :
“I: I'm not mistaken, I once owned
that umbrella you are carrying ”
“I was thinking the same about
yours,” was the reply.
“If my memory serves me right, I
left that umbrella in an office cn Gris
wold street, about a year ago.”
“Don’t doubt it iu tbe least. Just
about a year ago I was in an office on
Griswold street and it began to rain.
This umbrella stood there in a corner
and after a little maneuvering 1 man
aged to steal it. A week previous to
that I was making some purchases tu a
store on Woodward avenue. Wheu I
started to go out 1 found that some one
bad stolen my umbrella. I think you
are the man.”
“1 know I am,” replied the other.
“Yes, I was iu a store on Woodward
avenue about a year ago. It was rain
ing, and I had no umbrella. I saw you
stand yours up against tbe counter ami
walk away, and I gobbled it. Shall
we exchange or let things go as they
are ?”
“I’m satisfied.”
“So’rn I.”
“Then we will continue to believe
that honestly is the b'-st policy. I get
out here—good afternoon.”
“Same to you, aud integrity is the
road to sucoess.”

A War T'inie Joke.
Forrest, the great confederate cav
ilry commander, was not without a
<ense of humor, although a stern man 1
in the saddle at the head of his troop-1
-rs. Here is a story which was cur- I
" B nt in his crops and always brought a I
•mile to his handsome dark face.
Ou - day after his raid toward Mem
phis some of his cavalrymen overtook
a Jew with a one horse wagon full of
all sorts of goods, which he was ped
dling. They halted him.
“Hello, Sheeny ; what have you got
in that wagon ?”
“Oh, gentlemens, geullemeus, I
swear by my father's grave I have
nothing hut some little threads and
ueedh-s and dings for de ladies.”
The cavalrymen proceeded to go
through that wagon and tit themselves
out with boots, sho s, shirts, hats, blan
kets, tin cups, pipes, tobacco aud Ten
nessee whisky. The peddler begged,
wept and pleaded to no purpose. Then
the worm turned: “l report you
every me. The general will make
business mit you for dis.”
The cavalrymen rode off, loaded
with their plunder, laughing and jok
ing. The Jew followed 011 up to head
quarters.
“General,” said he, choiring with
wrath and cut down to the bone by his
loss, “does sojer mens vas shtop my

‘Moses, dot hat on yov bed vas too big

New Use ot Long Cotton.

“»h« bonanza of tbe sea island cot
ton growers is becoming richer. It
has been discoveredjby actual tes f s that
the very best fabrics to be used iu con

The demands that will be thus creat

that 2,000,000 tires will be turned out

as many more in Europe, and that the
expectations are that the production
will be fully as large, or larger, for
several years to come.

less wagon that is now the sensation of
Paris ami so popular it is said, on the
boulevards. Interest in the new vehi
cle is rapidly grow ing in this country
and it has heeu stimulated by the offer
of the Chicago Timos Herald of so,-
°°o. as a prize to the best designer of
the horseless carriage. New York,
however is smart enough to get the
first horseless wagon seen in this coun
try. It was brought from Paris by
the firm of Hilton, Hughes & Co., and
was exhibited at Washington Park
Thursday morning, and a public test
by the vehicle made. A cut of it was
priuted Thursday morning in the New
York Herald. The wagou’s appear
aucedocs not differ materially from
that of those now employed by tbo firm
that has it, and if it does all that is
promised it is the intention of the firm
to substitute horseless vehicles for their
present system. The inventor claimed
that the wagon’s running expenses
daily is less than that required in keep
ing a horse.
Ihe test made in Washington Park
was conducted by an operator who
came over with the wagon from Paris.
Ihe ciigino is concealed is a square
woodeu box in the rear, and is said to
he almost noiseless. It is a petroleum
air eugiue that provides the motive
power and its maximum speed is six
teen kilomotors uu hour. A crank in
front guides the vehicle with accuracy
and three brakes keep it under control.
Iho lites are of rubber and the wagou
is light, staunch aud trim.
The hoteeless wagon is destined to
become very popular, and will probably
be in extensive uso. It is another
blow at the faithful horse, which seems
doomed to disappear largely from the
public use. Those that are loft by the
bicycle will probably be displaced by
the horseless wagon.
