In the debate on the anarchy bill, Representative Graham of Pennsylvania unfolded a plan for dealing with anarchists which had been suggested to him by oue of his constituents. The constituent wrote: All anarchists should be banished to hell, for the following reasons: First It was decreed by the Almighty as a place of punishment for the wicked. Second It Is neutral, and beyond the scope of international controversy or dispute. Third It is within easy reach of all civilized nations. Fourth There need be no fear of their escape; and Lastly All nations can select their own route of transportation, by scaffold, electric chair, guillotine, etc. After a trial of this plan, I doubt not that it would settle tbe anarchist problem 'for ail time.

There was a party of 250 yonng men and women at the dance in the hall when the tornado struck tbe building about 11 p. m. Everybody rushed for tbe door. A number of young men held the doors to prevent tbe people from escaping, fearing they might be killed or injured if they got outside. About half o them, however, escaped, and then the building collapsed. The others were buried in the wreck. Three were instantly killed and forty or fifty others injured, some of them seriously. storm reached Bloomington , The about 11 p. m., commencing with a furious electrical display. Rain accompanied the wind, and the business district suffered severely. Many plate glass windows were blown in and stocks of goods were badly damaged.
