The advance of the storm shot through the -air with increditable swiftness and betore anyone realized it, the wind was tearing throngh the streets at a territic rate, picking up everything in its path that was not securely fastened down and hurling it along in clouds of dust that gave a serious nspect: to the The general direction of the wind was slightly north of west; that Is to sny it blew to the cast with southerly. tendency. The blow lasted about tire minutes and then came n.

torrent of rain which fairly eclipsed the downnonr of the carly morning. The storm came on so suddully that many people were caught 'atar from shelter and in consequence were drenched to the skin. Logansport. has been extremely fortunate in escaping the consequences of heavy wind storms such as that of last evening.

Girl: The heavy rainstorin of yesterday morning: ethrted. a food in both the and Eel rivers, and yesterday I evening at the Third street bridge the rise of water could almost be noted, so rapidly did it come up. It is stated those who have noted the stage of 1.he river throughont the season, that the water uns not been so high this year it was at o'clock last night, and the swelling flood was still raising op the banks rapidly. At midnight the Walash was still rising. and an old inhabitant said that if it did not fall before morning.

the water would hide the Taber clam from sight. This stage of water is rarely obtained in the Wa' bash. The flood of yesterday evening will help keep the rivers rising. and much damage will result to corD growing in -lying botrom fields. There was an unusual amount of driftwood fonting in the Wabash throughout the night, which is always 1 good indicalion of 3.

rising stream. Immense trees were afloat. and when they struck the piers of the old Third street bridge, the structure trembled from the shock, NEVER CUTS THE PERFORMANCE. It is the custom with many shows to cut the night performance. that is, omit many of the acts, in order to get through early and hasten the tearing down and departure for the next town.

The Great Wallace Show guarantees never to do this. Mr. Wallace is a most conscientious showman; he ASserts that money received at night is worth as much on the dollar as the day money, and his are entitled to just as much for it; be maintains that he has no right to give them any less. Plenty of men are employed to tear down rapidly enough when the show is out, without having to pull. the canvas down on the heads of the spectators.

At Logansport Monday, August 25th. A MERCHANT'S VIEW OF IT. Said 1 well-known dry goods mer-1 chant recently: "We buy today six times as many imported woolens and prints as we did in 1802; that means that when six men bad work in' 1502, only one man has work. now, and that one American Is working on one-. third less money.

That is what bas become of the markets of our own. farmers. Why sir, I can show many families in Logansport who are living on less than they threw out of their back doors in 1892.1 The remedy is plain; re-enact a prof: tective tariff, start our own mills and factories; and the laboring men can then. get the money to buy the farm and other products. THE FLY PEST.

Exchange: Many of our oldest citi-: zens cannot remember a season when the mosquitoes and dies were worse than for a month pasi. With Dies by day and mosquitoes by life for both man and beast has been almost unbearable. The stock especially hina suffered a living death. While man could hide himself away from these murderous pests--behind screens or in dark rooms--the poor horse must stand tied to a rack. swelter in the heat and stamp and fret himself into a foam fighting flies.

In the pasture. at night even. it is no better on account of mosquitoes.
