men could not shovel out the mud
as fast as it washed in, consequently
the train was compelled to .back up
to Woodman, and give up for the

A washont of several miles occurred
near Blue River Station, on the

CYCLONE IN IOWA.
Eighteen Persons Killed and Large Amour
OF Farm Property In the Southwestern
Part OF Pottawatomie County
DESTROYED

COUNCIL BLUFFS, June 10.--A
terrible tornado swept through the
southwestern part of this (Pottawa-
tomie) county last evening. The
cyclone or tornado is described by
eye.witnesses as something terrible.
The storm or wind clouds were first
observed forming both east and
west Of Wheeler's Grove, the point
where th. most destruction occur.
red, and IN short time came to-
gether. The cloud, which was CON-
ical in shape, came to the ground
near the Grove, travelling eastward.
The track of the storm was about a
halt mile in width, and swept every
thing before it, demolishing farm
houses, barns, and other buildings.
and carrying some of them bodily
hundreds of feet, then dashing them
to tho ground in pieces. At one
place farmers house, surrounded
by frail fence, was picked up and
then dashed to pieces in the yard,
leaving every board of the fence
remaining in it's place. There were
between fifteen aud twenty persons
killed outright, and many were
wounded, while others cannot be
found. Those known TO have been
killed were Jesse Osler, wife and
two children; William Page, wife
and two children killed and another
child fatally injured; Alexander
Osler, wife and child carried in the
air almost $50 feet and seriously in
jured, the child fatally; friedman
employed by the latter, name un>
known, killed. Other persons, six
or eight in number, were carried
away and have not yet been found.
In all about twenty are reported
dead or missing.
The scenes after the storm had
spent it's fury, are. described as heart
rem ding in the extreme. Parents
were looking for children, husbands
for their wives, and wives for their
husbands. Not house in the track
of the tornado was left standing,
and there could not be found pieces
enough of some to start a fire with.
The storm did not last fifteen
minutes, and was not accompanied
by rain. Doctors from this city.
Red Oak, and other points have
gone to the scene of the disaster,
and many citizens from Red Oak,
ten miles distant, have gone to as
sist in taking care of the Injured
and to bury the dead. There is no
railway or telegraph facilities to the
scene of the disaster, and reports
are rather msager as yet. 1t is
thought the storm struck other
points, but not with 80 great force
as at Wheeler's Grove. From fifty
to seventy-five head of stock were
killed; chickens were completely
stripped of feathers; not building
is left standing. A Mr.. Scofield
saved himself, wife and children by
putting ladder in we'll and de-
scending. His house, stock, and
everything were swept away. Nine
persons are reported killed at Mace
donia. A party of 100 laborers

For President, James A. Garfield

We have not Grant, Blaine, or
Washburne, but we have Garfield.
Grant is the Greatest Of American
Soldiers, Blaine is the greatest of
American statesmen, Washburne is
the greatest of American political
economists. If the business of the
Convention to choose President
had been to select the man in whom
there is the greatest combination OF
craftsmanship, soldierly heroism
and practical political economy, the
choice must have fallen upon James
A. Garfield. Such is the man whose
name is now offered for the votes OF
scholars, patriots, and tradosmen,
to place him in the highest Office at
their disposal, lie is a scholar. q
thinker, worker and a gentleman.
He IS a man Of the people, for the
people, and will be made President

Convention Close.

Part of our report of the doings of
the Chicago Convention came too
late for the last weeks HERALD. The
failure to announce in its columns the
nomination for Vice President was,
however, an oversight by the assist.
ant in charge of the Office. The Con.
vention concluded its work very has.
tily. The 500 votes of course made
Garfeld's nomination irreyocable-
Conkling Il Co. had to bear 1t and
grin. When their speeches were
through accepting the situation, and
the motion was carried making the
nomination unanimous, the Conven.
ton took recess until 5 O'Clock. On
reassembling at thai hour, some six
or eight nominations for Vice Presi-
dent were announced. About an
hour and half were consumed in
speeches in behalf Of these candi.
dates. Then a ballot was taken, re.
sulting in 468 for Chester A. Arthur,
of New York, 1913 for E. B. Wash.
burne, A for Jewell, of Connecticut
and scattering votes for others--ths
whole vote amounting to ISL. Ar,
thur having a majority was declared
the nominee but many voices OBJ
jected to making the nomination
unanimous. Arthur was Conkling's
man. Conkling had been beater
from the beginning Of the Conven
ton down to that time and it sue
ceeded in trotting out a good nag Il
run the Presidential race, but Conk
ling succeeded in giving the nap
pretty heavy load to carry. Thi
nomination made, the Convention
soon finished its labor, having hat
just one full week Of hard work.
