CHICAGO, June 11.—Reports received

nado that last night swept from the
southern boundary of Wisconsin
through central Illinois as far south
as Bloomington, with ramifications
west of the Mississippi. j\t Merna,

DES MOINES, IA., June 11.—It is re-
ported that the tornado last night de-
stroyed Laurel, a town of 100 Inhabi-
tants in McCool county. Wires are
down and it is impossible to verify
the report. The storm also struck the

Gilbert C. Smith to the scene on a bl-!
cycle.
One resident said he had shot twice
at the intruder. While Smith was
trying to locate the peeper a servant
in one of the households ran breath-
lessly up to him and said that she had
heard noises on the tin roof above the
attic, where she slept. The policeman,
armed with club and revolver, climbed
up the stairs to the roof.
It was pitch dark, and at first he
could see nothing. Finally he saw
glaring at him from the limbs of a tree
close to the house, a pair of eyes.
"Come out of there and surrender,'
shouted Smith.
There was no response, and Smith
fired a shot over the head of the mys-
terious object. The moment he did so
a big black form shot out of the tree
and landed on the roof beside him.
It was a cat. #
SAILORS SEE THINGS.
NEW YORK, June 11.—The Glasgow
ship Hampton, with charters taking
her around the world, was berthed
yesterday at Twenty-sixth street,
South Brooklyn. Her log contains a
list of weird adventures since she
sailed from Cardiff.
"In latitude*29.34 south and longitude
24.35 west," said Sailor Apprentice Ash-
ley, "a dismasted ship was sighted off
the starboard beam about eight miles
away. Capt. McDonald ordered the
course changed and 'we passed a dozen
yards to leeward of the wreck, which
proved to be the English ship Nor-
folk Island, abandoned on fire. The
fire, which had started three months
before, was still burning."
"One night we saw a moon bow over
the port bow and then the starboard,"
said Sailor Apprentice Powell. "It was
not as brilliant as a rainbow, but a
town of Jordan, near Boone, although j , \ L ,ni""uw' "Ul u
several of the principal buildings are 9 pr'fnry c°lors'
Again, with the moon forward, the
the city were seriously damaged, and
business has been blocked. Wires
were blown down in every direction
and it was with extreme difficulty
that any information was secured.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL., June 11.—
Death and destruction followed last
night in the wake of the worst tornado
that has ever been witnessed In cen-
tral Illinois. The wind wrought ruin
and woe, and the property loss will be
tens of thousands of dollars. The sad-
dest feature was the killing of three
young women at a dance at the town
hall of Merna, a village ten miles west
of Bloomington. A party of 250 young
men and women were at the dance
when the tornado struck the building.
Everybody rushed for the door. A
number of young men held the doors
to prevent the people from escaping,
fearing they might be Injured or killed
if they got outside. About half of
them, however, escaped and then the
building collapsed. Many were buried
in the wreck. Three were killed and
forty or fifty others were injured, some
of them seriously. The dead are:
Miss Lena Jahagatn.
Mrs. Edward Martin.
Miss Annie Kelly.
All are daughters of prominent far
mers. The bodies were* horribly mu
tilated. A number of young man and

HARRISBURG. PA., June 11—The
nomination of Judge Samuel W. Penny-
packer, for governor, was practically

PEKIN, ILL., June 11—The tornado
second mate sighted aft in the sky an
automobile with a chauffeur and three
passengers. The mirage moved so
rapidly that it was visible only a few-
minutes.
"An albatros and a mollyhawk were
caught. The bones of the former were

set free for luck.
"A large dolphin and a hpnlta were
also hooked, and three fish with spikes
on top of their heads, but they were
so leathery, being all skin and no flesh,
that the cook could do nothing with
them."
"When a black booby with a yellow-
beak and as large as a hen alighted
on the poop rail and returned next
night and roosted on. the main truck

Merna received the brunt of the storm,
and many of the finest houses there,
and barns, were destroyed. The
storm reached Bloomington about 11
p. m., commencing with a furious elec-
trical display. Rain accompanied the
wind, and the business district suf-
fered severely. Many plate glass win-
dows were blown in and stocks of
goods were damaged. Hundreds of big
trees were broken off at the trunks,
making the streets almost impassable.
Telegraph and telephone poles were
snapped In two and the tangled wires
were added to the blockade. Buildings
were damaged all over the city but no
lives were lost nor any one seriously
injured. Just on the eve of the com-
mencement of the storm, the roof of
the Wesleyan University was blown
off and the Interior badly damaged by
water. Railroads report damaged
tracks due to washouts and a number
of freight wrecks due to telegraph
poles falling on the tracks.

STRONG FLOW OF GAS.
LAWTON, O. T., June 11.—A strong
flow of gas has been struck in a well
three miles northeast of this city. The
flow of gas was so strong that it was
with great difficulty that the pipe
could be plugged up. A plug made
from cottonwood was finally driven In-
to the pipe, and so strong Is the pres-
sure that the gas is forced through
the grain of the wood.

between trains Tuesday on his way to
meet the Oklahoma geological survey
party at Yukon. The party left Nor-
man Monday morning and will work
northwest from Yukon and begin work
in the gypsum hills north of Darling-

It Is the intention during the sum-
mer to make an exhaustive study of
the enormous gypsum and salt deposits
of Oklahoma and next winter to pub-
lish a report on the same.
The party travels overland with
team and wagon, tent, saddle horses
and regular camp outfit. They expect
to be out till the cpenlng of the uni-
versity in September and during thAt
time will visit all the western counties
in Oklahoma as well as parts of Texas
and the Indian Territory.
Besides salt and gypsum, the gen-
eral geological feutures of the country
will be observed and such products as
building stone, clay, water supply and
the like will be studied.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.—It
has Just been revealed that, President
Roosevelt, in the horseback rides and
long walks to which he is devoted,
carries constantly In his hip pocket the
revolver he used at San Juan.
The weapon Is of Colt's manufacture
and Is a 38-callbre, regulation army
style. The cartridges with which it is
loaded in every chamber come from
the ordinance bureau.
Sometimes when the President is
away out on the borders of the district
he practices popping at trees.
The revolver is always where he can
get it in an instant, and he is so famil-
iar with its use that should the occa-
sion arise it would have to be an expert
assailant who could get the drop on
him.
The President wears a loose coat
when he goes riding and walking, and
there is not even a bulge to disclose the
revolver's whereabouts.
The President's practice of carrying
a revolver is due to his perfect knowl-
Ige of the necessity for preparing for
any contingency and his dislike for ex-
cessive guarding. He could not for
physical reasons, relinquish his exer-
cise, and It was embarrassing and un-
itisfactory to take it in the middle
f a cordon of guards. Se he decided
to be his own guard.
He knew what he could do with a re-
volver. He is not afraid of man or
beust. He preferred the 38-callbre Colt
and his own quickness on the trigger
to any defense that a great crowd of
"et service officials would afford
him.
He does not apprehend that he will
ever be called upon to use his revolver.
He has not the slightest fear of such
event, but he believes 4n precaution
and he is always ready.
[ shall never be more than a fair
shot; my eyes are not good enough."
the President recently said to a friend.
Just what he considers a good shot
has not been explained. He can hit a
target or a mountain Hon at a good
distance with a rifle, is expert with a
shotgun und can make an excellent
e with a revolver. When he was
in the Spanish-American war he did a
good bit of practicing with the "38's"
Issued by the ordnance department. In
his history of the Rough Riders he tells
how he shot a Spaniard with a re-
volver.
So far as known, no president save
Roosevelt, since the war has carried a
revolver as a regular part of his equip-
ment. President Roosevelt's habit of
life makes the practice almost impera-
tive.
London, June 10.—The report of the
committee on military education and
training, Issued today, furnishes the
strongest official corroboration of the
Inefficiency of the officers of the Brit-
ish army. The committee's report,
which Is based on the evidence of the
officers themselves, from the comman-
der-ln-chlef downward, fills forty-
eight printed pages with caustic criti-
cism of the existing system. The wit-
nesses were unanimous in saying that
the Junior officers were lamentably
deficient In military knowledge, and in
zeal.
The committee finds that the young
officers will not work unless compelled
to do so, that "keenness is out of fash-
ion." and that "It is not correct form."
The committee declares that many of-
ficers do not possess an elementary
education, and plaintively protest that
officers ought "at least to be able to
express themselves clearly and con-
cisely In their own language." The
report condemns the systems of both
Woolwich and Sandhurst, where edu-
cation is "far from satisfactory, the
instructors having no inducement to
teach the cadets, still less to work."
With the view of diminishing the
expenses of officers belonging to caval-
ry regiments, the report recommends
that polo tournaments, regimental
coaches and the keeping of hounds be
forbidden.
Perhaps the ponultimate paragraph
is the most important of all. "So
long as mediocrity is permitted to pass
muster," says the committee, "and
signal ability meets with no substan-
tial recognition, It Is useless to hope
for any valuable results from verbal
amendments to the regulations. Noth-
g but Inducements, in the shape of
certain reward for good work, either
in peace or war, can raise the standard
« knowledge through the commissioned
ranks."
The committop, therefore, recom-
mends an "honest System of promotion
by merit, following upon tests hon-
parted from hor existence
