DEATH IH CYCLONE TERRIFIC STORM KILL8 EIGHT IN WISCONSIN AND TWO IN ILLINOIS. MANY PERSONS ARE INJURED ARABS ARE CRUEL WAR MINISTER AT ROME TELLS IN CABLE OF ATROCITIES. Property Lot* Is Enormous--Heaviest Damage Reported From Near Jsneavi lie--Fear That Crew of Seven Is Lost In Lake Michigan. Janesvllle, Wis.--A cyclone swept a path through Rock county a quart©' of a mile In width and twenty miles In length, killing eight persons, injur­ ing many more and doing damage to the extent of 11,000,000. The dead: Schmidt family, Hanover, comprised of father and two daughters. Crowder, Mrs. John, aged eighty, Orfordville; buried in the ruins of her house. Proode, Mrs. Helen, Orfordville: a bride of six weeks; died trying to flee from her falling home. Lentx, Fred, carpenter, Orfordsville; blown from the roof of a house against a huge tree which fell and crushed him to death. Kerban, Amy, eight years old, Or­ fordville. Austin, Helen, aged five years, Mil­ ton. The storm broke suddenly and with Intense fury. Farmers and villagers were caught entirely unprepared. A high wind and warm temperature had prevailed during the day. Although the weather had been the subject of much comment, none was prepared for a tornado. The storm passed quickly and left the country demoralized. The roads were almost Impassable, but messen gers were pressed Into service, and they made their way to Janesvllle and Beloit as swiftly as possible. Or- fdrdville is equally distant from both of these cities, and assistance from both towns was hurried to the rtrlck- *en villages. The loss will run up to a million, according to David Atwood, who made a trip Into the country immediately after the 6torm passed this city. The loss to the tobacco crop alone will be more than half a million. Many valuable farmhouses were de­ stroyed. The usual freak features were pres­ ent. The Schmidt family, which was almost wiped out, was seated at the supper table, near Hanover, nine miles from Janesville. The house was picked up and carried across the road and landde upon the roof of an­ other. Springfield, 111.--A tornado swooped down upon Virginia, 111., dealing de­ struction right and left. A score of persons were seriously injured, while many had narrow escapes, but none was killed. "The most seriously In­ jured are Earl Whlttaker, the little son of William Whlttaker; Fad French and Otis Middleton. The Whlttaker boy was caught un­ der the wreckage of the Whlttaker house, which was demolished. The storm swept with terrific force through the center of the town. Not a business building or residence that lay in Its path escaped damage. A hundred dwellings were unroofed or sustained other serious damage, while the business section is a mass of wreckage. A drenching rain, which followed the violent wind, added to the horror of the situation. At Easton, sixteen miles east of Havana, Mrs. Sallle Hennegar. aged seventy-five years, whose home col­ lapsed, died from fright, and an in­ fant child of James Prater was killed. Seven other persons were tnore or less injured Much property In Easton and vicinity was damaged, several farm­ houses and barns being demolished. Danville, I1L--A heavy rain and wind storm, accompanied by much lightning, swept over Vermilion coun­ ty and developed into a tornado at Rossvllle, where much damage was done. At the Elgin, joliet and East­ ern railroad roundhouse several small buildings were blown down and the coal chutes were blown across the tracks. Bloomington, 111.--A cyclone pre­ ceded a cold wave swept over Mcl^ean county, leaving a trail of destroyed buildings In its path. Stanford, south west of this city, was the principal sufferer, an elevator, several barns and many other structures being blown over. A number of cases of injury to persons are reported. The loss to buildings may reach $100,000. Chicago.--Fifteen men are reported to have perished and a fishing boat out from Chicago is believed to have foundered in the terrific storm which struck this section of the country. Several persons were frozen to death in Chicago and vicinity and a number of accidents, one fatal.'report- ed as a direct result of the icy blasts. The Evening Star, a 75-foot fishing boat, with a crew of fourteen, includ­ ing fishermen, is believed to have gone down off Waukegan. Cabinet Member Says Italian* Shared Rations With Foes--80Idlers Are Crucified. Washington. -- That "the punish­ ment fitted the crime," and "blood met blood" on Tripolitan battle­ fields was declared in a cablegram to the Italian embassy by San Uiuliano, Italian minister of war, referring to the reported Italian atrocities against the Turks and Arabs. The cablegram from San Oiuilano was in the form of an official statement under the cap­ tion: "Italian Heart; Arabian Cruel­ ty." "Our soldiers occupied the intrench- ments at Sidi Mesrl," the minister of war's cablegram says, "and between them and the Arabs situated back of the village there had been established friendly relations. The Italian sol­ diers used to give part of their rations to the Arabs and they made presents to the poor families of the Arabians --presents welcomed because of their poverty. "But suddenly, in the midst of the hard fighting, from the small white Arab houses back of our soldiers rushed Infuriated men. Inhuman and horrible things happened. "An Italian surgeon was killed by the father of a girl whom he had cured and saved. Red Cross attend­ ants carrying stretchers to aid the wounded Turks were treacherously slain by the wounded men. Isolated soldiers, surprised in the Interior, were disemboweled. "It wag dreadful to be obliged to fight In a network of narrow paths flanked by high walls of land, having certainty that before you, behind and surrounding you there could be ̂ hidden a terrible enemy--men who fought without regard to the regulations of war. "The punishment was proportionate to the crime. ANNUAL AFFAIR TO BE GIVEN BY 8TATE ASSOCIATION TO BE GREATEST EVER HELD. EXHIBIT WILL BE IMPROVED At Big Banquet Railroads and News­ papers Promise to Boost Event Scheduled to Be Held at Springfield in January. NANKING A MANCHU SHAMBLE Thousands of Chinese Butchered by Imperial Soldiers--Massacre Is Followed by Flames- Nanking.--Fire Is completing what the Manchu sword left undone. From Purple Hill 12,000 Imperial soldiers, glutted with the blood of the inhabit ants, view the flaming city. Between 20,000 and 30,000 revolu­ tionists. mobilized miles from the city, are helpless because they have prac­ tically no ammunition. The Manchus. realizing the predica­ ment of the rebels, descended upon Nanking and began the execution of an order by the Tartar general for a general slaughter Thousands of men. women and children were maf sacred. Alarmed at the coming of the entire force of Manchus, the inhabitants had pecked all their belongings and made ready to flee. When the gates were opened there was a stampede for the openings in the great wall, but before the majority could pass through the Manchus were upon them, cutting them down with absolutely no mercy. Those who wore any white, the badge of the rebel, whether a handkerchief or the white shoes of mourning, were killed with the greater brutality. Chi­ nese found wearing foreign clothes, or without queues met the same fate. Hundreds of children and women were stabbed, but left alive to die un­ der foot. How many were killed caanot even be estimated. Springfield.--With the co-operation of railroads and newspapers assured, the annual show of the Illinois State Poultrymen's association in Spring­ field next January promises to fulfill the expectations of Its promoters in "showing" the nation's greatest ex­ hibition of feathered livestock. At a banquet of the Sangamon County association In the sun parlor of the New Leland hotel at Spring­ field, assurances were given that transportation and publicity interests will combine with the poultry fan­ ciers of the state In boosting the yearly show. Fifty plates were epre&d on the banquet board and a number of state officers were present to join with the local fanciers in furthering interest In the comlnfe state show. Charles F. Mills was toastmaster and nearly every phase of the yearly show was brought out In the program or talks he arranged. J H. Lord, district passenger agent for the Illinois Central rallraod, declared that great system will do everything possible to further tht coming show of the state association, and J. E. Melick of the Mississippi Valley interurban lines promised pup- port in caring for local traffic con­ ditions. Declaring that the next state show will unduobtedly be the greatest in the history of the association, be cause of the great efforts now being made, H. C. Wilhlte of Greenfield, state vice-president, told of early struggles and how the organization had overcome obstacles until it had now reached a substantial footing. Wilhlte stated it was prohahle the staie game farm will have an exhibit of fowls that will be a big addition to the coming show, and he also prom­ ised an unusual premium in the form of n pony outfit that is to be do­ nated. "We are anxious to get ahead of the Missouri show." tsaid Jchn L Waddell of Decatur, "and I believe we will show em' the greatest ever thifr year." He urged the members to personal work, "tell them about Illinois." and assured there will be no lacl: of Bupport in his locality. Speak­ ing of the failure of other sho.vs to corn*' up to standard, Waddell stated the r-atalogue of the Illinois associa­ tion. when issued will be a model of its kind. With the newspapers and railroads helping, Waddell could see nothing but suc^pss for the 1912 ex­ hibit. Tsx Rate Msy Not Increase. Because of the Increase In Um assessment of property aa made by local assessors, It is prob­ able that the state tax commission "will not find it necessary to increase the state tax rate for the present, year. Figures compiled by the state board of equalization show the total assess­ ment made % local assessors through­ out the state aggregates $2,104,161,- 547, which is an increase of $114,- 053,921 over the property returns for 1910. The assessment by local assessors covers lands, lots and personal prop­ erty, but does not include the assess­ ment of railraods and the capital stock of corporations, which Is made by the state board of equalization. That this year's increase is so large is accounted for, in part, at least, by the fact that a number of newly- elected assessors are believers in the single tax theory, and have greatly increased the assessment of unim­ proved property. Eighty-two counties of the state, including Sangamon, show an in­ creased valuation. Twenty show a decrease. La Salle county has the heaviest decrease. Cook county, with a total valuation of f"0,940. 173, shows the greatest increase. Counties In this vicinity make the following showing: Cass, $80,014,654; decrease, $18,407. Christian, $17,437,5441 increase, $1,- 593.752. $9,316,460; $4,309,129; $17,470,801; $20,062,285; increase, $402,- increase, $581,- Increase, $307- increase, $2.- lncrease, $645,- DeWitt 565.
