WESTERN CYCLONE.
Inn nm ense Destruction OF Lives am d
-4t--, RrOpcFty. ;s1t. -s.f. -

A terrible cyclone swept over Cen
trail Iowa on Saturday night which
destroyed vast number of lives and
an immense amount of property. Re-
ports from Grinnell report the Cornell
College building ruined and give the
list of dead at forty, with many others
severely hurt. Eight, at least, Were
also killed at Malcolm Station, nine
miles east of Grinnell, and several in
the farming districts. A freight train
on the Greek Island Road, between
the towns, was caught in the W ind and
badly wrecked, OBTAINING the trains
west for three hours, and freight
train on the Iowa Central, just north of
Grinnell, was also badly deraiIed. The
first authentic news of the terrible
havoc was received by register as fol-
lows:
The following is the best account of
the disaster at Malcolm
MALCOMB, June ia terrible cy-
clone passed over here at 8 : 80 tonight.
We have found five dead, and the
| best business houses are demolished,
including the Gazette office, both
churches, and one-third of the dwell
ing houses in the town are flat or badly
damaged. The cyclone extended as
far as we can hear, destroying aud kill
| ing everything in its path. All is ex
citemsnt here. The following are four
| of the dead C.. II. Wheeler, old M rs.
| Myers, Mrs. o. Myers, Mrs. Hail. A
man and his son were blown into a
we'll, the father climbed up the pump
stock, pushing his child before him
South of Brooklyn barn was des.
troyed and three people killed. Seven
! dead bodies have been found at NAL
colin. The only authentic news at {
| D. NJ. from Mt.Pleasant is that freight
train was derailed. @
DEsMOINEs, IA, June 18.-A specia
to the State Register states that the
surgeans report fOity-One dead at Grin
nell and say five or six more cannol
live through the night. Deignan, lht
Rock Island conductor, is dead.
The surgeons reported that thu
wounded exceed one hundred and fifty
and the number of houses destroyed
or ruined is between one hundred and
forty and one hundred and fifty. Th'
total loss OF property IS now estimatet
at $6O0,0OO. 1t is feared the number o
deaths at Grinnell will yet reach seven
ty-five. The path of the tornado il
now pretty accurately defined as hav
: ing been about twenty-five miles long
and half mile wide, extending tiv'
miles northwest of Grinnell and TWEEN
ty miles southeast. News received
here states that Mr.. James wife ant
two daughters, and two other persons
living four miles northwest of Grin
nell, are dead. 1t is now thought tn,
loss of life outside of Grinuell will
reach twenty-five, and altogether near
ly one hundred.

THE Army retirement law passed
the House with the Senate amendment
providing for the compulsory retire
ment af army officers at the age of "a,
instead of 62 as the House had it orig
inally. The new retirement law takes
effect on December l, next. Twenty
three officers will then be retired.
About fOrty-five would have been re-
tired under the sixty-two year provis-
ion had it become law. Among those
who will be retired on December 1st,
next, are SurgeOn-General Barnes and
Major General Mcdowell. Among
those who are granted two years more
of active army life by the provisions
adopted, is General Sherman, General
# the Army.

The sweetness of n Vicious Old
Know Nothing ON the Germans.
Mr.. West had to make a speech at
the late Republican State Convention,
of course. He is chronic political
whangdoodler, and likes to hear him
self howl better than any male person
we ever knew. Like the Pond law,
however, which was his bantling, he
is bad and unsavory egg. Mr.. West
led to be Know Nothing-One of the
vast horde of fellows who banded
themselves together something less
than thirty years ago, with caths, and
grips, and secret passwords for the
prescription of foreigners. Put none
but Americans on guard ~ Yves their
motto, the meaning of which was that
no foreigner should be elected to any
office in this county. The hatred
which, by deliberate and systematic
falsehood they engendered toward the
Catholics of Che country, eliminated
in riots and bIoodshed. 1t was part
of the Know Nothing creed, also, that
no foreigner should vote at our cleo
tiens until after he had been in the
country twenty-ons years. Mr.. Wesl
ought, in the speech in question, tt
have apologized for this part of his
political record, but he didn't. He
simply assumed that it was forgotten
He may-for electioneering purposes
have experienced change of heart
it looks, however, a good deal mor'
like hypocritical change of base. ,
Albeit, he thus addressed himself tt
the Germans of the State in the speech
we are noticing:
81 have heard the name of German
mentioned here today. II there is on
heart on the American continent tina
admires German character it is here.
i Shifting his chest.
Now. if Mr.. West imagines that b
can draw the temperance people of tn
State into the Republican fold will
unconstitutional Pond lawism, and tn
Germans with oratorical glucose, he
mistaken citizen. s.s.

THE trial of the star route rascals is
slow progress at Washington.
Though much time and about mill
lion Of dollars have already been ex-
pended ia prosecuting this gang of
distinguished Republicans, the party
don't seem to show much anxiety to
hasten the punishment of their own
rascals. They have proven any amount
of irregularities in the business, aad
that the defendants made immense
profits therefrom, but they have not
yet reached the point of establishing a
conspiracy, which the Court has deci'
ded is condition precedent to farther
progress in the case. 1t begins to look
as though matters were arranged to
allow the guilty men to escape. Nous

WE are under obligations to Hon.
Gilbert Atherton, of the 18th district,
for a copy of the Congressional Record
containing his speech delivered in the
House of Representatives on. the 3lst
ult., in the Dibble- Mackey contested
election case. 1t is an able and pow
erful document, demonstrating by
facts and unanswerable arguments that
Dibble was fairly and honestly elected,
and showing that ousting him from
his seat was an outrage perpetrated by
the Republican majority, done solely
on partisan grounds, and merely tc
add to their strength in the House.

SAD BEREAVEMENT. = The family
of Volney Rogers is most sadly affiict-
ed by the death of their little seven
year old daughter, Blanche Adele.
She had been lingering for nearly three
weeks, with diphtheria, and several
times during that period her. life was
despaired of by the physicians,i but
each time she" rallied only to revive
hopes in the breasts of her parents iof
her final recovery, but the fell destroy

nothing left now but memory, and thi:
