The work of clearing away the de-

terrible cyclone of the 18th inst. is be.

already nearly all the dwelling houses,
which were not completely annihilat.

blocks arc re.roOfed and otherwise re-
paired. The sound of the carpenters

mason's trOwel as he trims off the
brick, is heard from early dawn until
late at night. The city is one huge

ing hand to obliterate the storm traces
and rebuild the city. Although our
people have boen twice visited by mis-
fortune almost too terrible to bear up
under, they are infused with the true
American spirit of cheerfulness and are
never long inactive or cast down under
the most trying circumstances. The
contributions of money, clothing, pro-
visions, medicines, &C., for the poor,
unfortunate sufferers of this city and
vicinity has been flowing in from all
directions, and the relief committee of
this city is doing all in its power to
house the homeless, and alleviate the
sufferings of the manned and desti-
tute. The subcommittee have made
careful canvass of the city and are
hurrying along the work of relief as
fast as circumstances permit. The ex-
ecutive committee, or committee of
the whole, meets every evening at the
Citizens National Bank to receive the
reports Of the days doings of the sub
committees, and lay out new work for
the following day. The five carpent-
ers sent up by the city of Albert Lea,
in charge of Mr.. Pratt. arrived on Fri
day morning last and are doing good
work Strengthening and moving build
ings on to their foundation, and their
services at this time would he indis.

tirely demolished, as well as all their
personal effects. The committee on
material has already issued its orders
to 4 number of the foregoing unfortu-
nate sufferers and workmen have com.
menced erecting tn Q buildings. There
are number of others who sustained
heavy losses that the committees will
look after as soon as possible. The
wounded arc all doing nicely, and, I'M.
less unforeseen trouble arises, it is now
almost certain that all will recover, al
tn ough few will be crippled for life.
Too much praise can not be bestowed
upon the good Sisters of Charity who
are untiring in their efforts to alleviate
the sufferings of the unfortunate peo-
pie that have come under their charge.
RELIEF FOR TILE RURALrOwNs.
While the good work of succor has
been going on in New Ulm, the COM
mittee has not been idle as to the
wants of the unfortunate sufferers in
the storm track in the rural districts.
Of course it is impossible for the men,
bers of the New Ulm relief commit
toe to visit the stor m stricken locali-
ties outside of the city, and ascertain
the wants of the unfortunate people.
But 1t is the sincere desire of the COM
mittee to extend Immediate help to the
rural districts, and for this purpose the
people have been urged to organize and
appoint committee in each town
whose duty it shall be to investigate
the losses and obtain the names of the
destitute in their respective towns, and
report the same to the New Ulm CON-
mittoe. When this is done the New
Ulm committee will turn a pro rata
amount Of the contributions over to
the rural committees for distribution
to the needy in their respective towns.
The attention of the people in the rural
towns visited by the cyclone of the 18th
inst. is called to.the following resolu.
tions adopted by the New Ulm com.
mittee, which explain themselves:
