The building material and other ar.
ticles donated were all transported
free by the several railroad lines con.
lected with the Chicago and North.
western, and the liberality Of the lat.
Ter company enabled us to procure
nearly all the building material used
by the committee ut cost price.
The reason for retaining the amount
appearing as reserved is, that there
are several parties who are MANNED,
if not for life, still disabled for
long time to come, a I'd for their bene.
fit has the amount been set aside to be
held rs d sacred trust and to be ak.
pended only in the manner indicated.
1t will be noticed that several local.
tiles struck by the same tornado or on
che same day, were included in the re.
lief work, and although these districts
are mostly situated in other counties
and extend over a distance of 30 miles,
still we have the satisfaction to know
that relief has been rendered in all
cases where really ,eeded.
The magnitude of the disaster may
be best judged by the fact, that be-
sides the parties in theidlfferent towns
and the corporations mentioned, POI
heads of families and individuals in
this city received aid in money, MA.
terials and necessaries of life, and in
consequences the most necessary work
of rebuilding and preparing for the
stormy season could be completed be
fore winter set in.
There are some very severe, and we
may say, the heaviest losses inflicted
on parties, whose circumstances are
such, that they need not look for help
from others, and in justice to them it
must be stated, that they neither
asked for; nor received any aid what.
ever.
The committee as originally elected
and organized and after wards enlarg.
ed to facilitate the work, consisted of
the following members: "
VIM. Pfaender, Chairman.
Rev. Alex. Berghold, Secretary.
G.. Wagner, Treasurer.
H. Vajen, joe. 3obleter,
N. Mullen, D. Peterson
II. Keller. G. II. Ross.
Geo. Jacobs, E. q. PAIL
E. G. Kock, Werner Bosch,
Henry Weyhe, B. F. Webber.
and the mayor of the city, Hon. John
G. Rudolph, and at meeting of this
committee held on the 23d of jam.
AIRY the final disposition of the funds
was made and the undersigned execu.
tive committe appointed to wind up
the affairs of the relief committee and
to take charge of and administer the
remaining funds in the manner des.
cribed.
The sympathy and kindness shown
to our people from all directions are
gratefully acknowledged and win ev.
er be remembered by the hundreds
who were rescued from want and suf-
fering, and if in the pressure of bust.
ness it has been overlooked to express
our special thanks in some cases
where extra efforts were made, we
hope that the parties will excuse our
shortc 'mil,gs and find their best re-
ward in the knowledge, that they
have Gone a good and noble work and
assisted people who have struggled
hard to build up permanent homes IN.
der the most adverse circumstances.
That in work of such magnitude
some mistakes will be made, the most
careful must admit, and if we acknow.
ledge that this may have been the
case in our work, we are nevertheless
satisfied, that every member of the
committee considered it his solemn
duty to act without fear. favor or pre-.
