...skies. It struck first in Missouri, touched Biehle and Annapolis, hurdled the Mississippi River into Illinois, in the unaccountable way of such storms, and struck about five miles inland at Murphysboro. For the next 30 miles, it seems to have swept on most fiercely through De Soto, Bush, West Frankfort, Parrish, passing about five miles north of Herrin. Then it seems to have stopped again, 20 or 30 miles to McLeansboro and Carmi, crossed the Wabash River into Indiana, promptly demolishing Griffin and razing half of Princeton.

Within the northern limit of the shadow will lie Manistique (Mich.), Toronto (Ont.), Auburn and Hudson (N.Y.), New Bedford (Mass.); while Syracuse (N.Y.), Springfield (Mass.) and Providence (R.I.) will...
Simon Bucharoff, Chicagoan, is nevertheless preparing to beard the Teutonic lion in his own den. His opera, Sakahra, is about to be produced in Frankfort. The book, dealing with the familiar brother and sister who did not know they were kin until their affection had reached a stage neither brotherly nor sisterly, was written by Isabel Buckingham, also of Chicago...
