It is noted that the suburbs of Chicago suffered much more severely from the terrific storm of Sunday night than the city itself. That was to have been expected, for the reason that suburban architecture is, usualiy speaking, of an unsubstantial character, and the isolated position of the buildings renders them more susceptible to the fury of the 8 to cm than the great concrete masses of masonry in the heart of the city. The fact is also emphasized by the Chicago newspapers that of all the structures in the city, the much abused "sky scrapers" most successfully withstood the rage of the elements. By reason of their flexible frames of steel and iron they vibrated, without the dislocation of a single joint, in the contest of tho electrical and atmospheric currents, and stood forth complete and uu-harmed after the tornado had spent its This all goes to prove that scientific architecture affords an element of security and protection against the most violent storms. It has been frequently said that no construction, however can stand before tbe awful force of the "powers of the air" in their un-brideled rage.

But the records do not sustain this theory. The greatest disasters from cyclones have occurred in new communities, where the houses were mostly of wood and of a temporary character, and it is rare, indeed that massive structures are disturbed or unsettled by any elemental commotions with the exception of earthquakes. In the country districts it is possible for the people to avoid the destruction of life by tornadoes and cyclones by the construction of caves and dug outs, and the chances of danger are greatly diminished In those populous centers where the buildings are put up to stay.

KANSAS. Cubans have the adrantage of position and of knowledge of the country If was demolished in the afternoon and it is rumored that eighty children per During the past year the conductors of the Post-Dispatch have been many times urged to publish a Weekly edition. The requests have come chiefly from farmers, laborers and others, who are not so situated that they can take or read a daily newspaper. Similar requests have come from postmasters, news agents and others who are in close touch with the people. In compliance with these requests, which seem to indicate a widespread popular demand, the publication of the Weekly St.

Louis Post-Dispatch will be begun on Thursday, May 14. It will be an 8-page newspaper, consisting almost entirely of reading mattercarrying little or no advertising. It will be issued once a week (on Thursda3's), at the extremely low price of 50 cents a year. As the object of the publishers is to furnish a weeklj' newspaper for the masses of the people, it was deemed preferable to publish a oncc-a-week weekly at half the regular price, rather than a twice-a-week issue at the usual price of $1 a year. It will, like the Daily Post-Dispatch, be a newspaper for the people, championing Western men and measures, and standing for those policies, the success of which is essential to the prosperity of the masses of the people in the west and south, and in the country at large.

The Post-Dispatch is known as the only metropolitan newspaper that uncompromisingly advocates the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and that steadfastly resists the encroachments of plutocracy and corporation influence in politics. It is also known as the liveliest, most enterprising, most readable and best illustrated newspaper in St. Louis. The qualities that have distinguished the Daily Post-Dispatch will also characterize the Weekly Post-Dispatch. It will be crisp, bright, readable, and well illustrated.

In addition to all the the news and the cream of public discussion, it will contain the best of the editorials in the Daily Post-Dispatch; short stories, a helpful women's department, gossip about men and women who attain prominence, political cartoons and plenty of fun and humor. During the campaign it will keep its readers informed on political developments and the progress of events throughout the country. Subscription price, by mail, prepaid, 50 cents a year.
