Food Adulteratlon...why We are Sick.

No device that can add to the com.
fort and convenience of dwelling is
omitted in our modern architecture,
and money is not regarded when the
luxury of clothing or beauty to personal
adornment is in question. Hence We
live in better houses and wear better
clothes than did our forefathers. Why
should we not take the same better care
of our health? Why should dyspepsia,
and the train of diseases that follow it,
almost unknown in the olden time, be
so prevalent nowp Simply because of
the poisonous and indegestible trash
which in these days is forced upon the
public as genuine food, or used to
adulterate those articles that go to
make up the daily bill Of fare of every
household. Our forefathers were con-
est methods, but the hot competition of
riches have called forth all the ingenui-
ty of modern science to devise cunning
deceptions that shall enable the avari-
cious dealer to more rapidly increase his
profits, even though he destroy the

The people buy these adulterated ar

entirely ignorant of their poisonous
qualities. A few years ago this evil had
reached such alarming proportions in
England that the public sentiment de-
manded Legislative interference. and
Parliament enacted the most severe re-
pressive laws. DIR. Small, u 5. A., af-

concludes that the adultcration Of food
is as great in this country to-day. and
of as dangerous character as IL was in
England at the time referred to.
1t would be well for Congress to take
hold of this important matter in n sufii-
ciently vigorous manner to put an end
to the whole nefarious business. In the
meantime, II people will be rs careful

A Railway Train Blown From the Track
and Many Lives Lost.
ST. PAUL, August PA terrible cy-
clone struck Rochester at 8 p. m. yesterday, de-
molishing about three hundred houses and
damaging two hundred more. The names of
the killed, as far as known, in Rochester, are
John NJ. Cole, Mrs McZuellan, Thomas Steels,
Mrs. Zurrath, August Zurrath, Mr.. Osborn and
an infant, Mrs. Fred Clough, Mrs. witherell,
Mr.. Hetzel, William Higgins, Mrs. Quick and
child, and Miss Mccormick. These, with four
who are unidentified, have been brought to the
undertakers. Six others have been taken care
of by their friends. In Dodge and Olmstead
counties terrible damage was done. 1t is i'm
possible to give an estimate OF the damage to
the city and county. Rochester, one-third Of
which was destroyed last night, is situated
about eighty-fye miles south Of st. Paul. on
the Chicago Il Northwestern Railroad 1t is a
beautiful little city of 5000 or 1900 inhabi-
tants. Most of the houses are brick, aud It al
so contained many stately business blocks. In
definite dispatches reached here early this
morning Of the terrible effects of the cyclone,
but the first authentic report was received here
this afternoon, by passengers on the incoming
trains. At 10 O'Clock the Governor received
the following:
ROCHESTER, Minnesota, August q.
Governor Hubbard, st. Paul:
Rochester is in ruins. Twenty-four people
were killed and over forty were seriously in
jured. One-third of the city is laid waste. We
need immediate help.
(Signed.) s. W. KILLER, Mayor.
In less than three minutes 5000 was raised
and sent to aid the sufferers, and kilograms
were sent to all the cities in the state, calling
on them for aid.
BLOWN FROM THE TRACK.
OwAToNNA, Minnesota, August 22-
Meagre telegraphic advices were received here
early this morning that terrible accident had
occurred between Rochester and ZumbrOta,
Minnesota, on the Rochester a. Northern divi-
on of the Chicago q Northwestern railway,
by which about one hundred people were killed
and wounded. The train that was wrecked
was that one which leaves Rochester about 4:45
and arrives at Zumbrota about 6 p. III. II was
caught in the severe wind and hail storm that
prevailed In that vicinity between 4 and 6
O'Clock last evening. and while running at a
high speed was lifted from the rails. gentle
man who has been at the scene OF the disaster
described 1t as one Of the most hOrrifying rail-
road accidents ever seen. Every car In the
train was completely wrecked and almost liter
ally shattered to pieces by the sudden stop
caused by the train leaving the rails, and bury
ing the unfortunate passengers under the de-
bris, killing many, and injuring nearly every
person aboard the train.

Henry NJ. Lynch was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary on the charge Of horse stealing He had
been driving team with man by the name
of Rotchford, but the latter got out at the post
office for his mail, and Lynch drove on in an
intoxicated condition. He was arrested and
convicted under sentence of nine years. At
that time there were large number of rough
characters in the city, and the courts were very
strict in the enforcement of the law. Judge
Elliot and others interested themselves in his
behalf, and on the Goth Governor Grant issued
full pardon on the ground that 'previous to
the commission of said crime, the said Lynch
(who is but 90 years of age) has always bourne
good and honest character, and will, in case of
his discharge from the Penitentiary, be at once
given the means Of earning an honest livelihood
in his former home at Milwaukee, Wisconsin"
At a recent meeting of the Denver
board Of trade the board of trade and citizens
committee to attend the Grand Army encamp-
ment, consisting of B. p Brasher, Wolfe Lon
doner and w. r. Beatty, made report, charg-
ing the department officers of the Grand Army
with incompetency and incapacity, and stating
that "theis entire connection with the citizens
committee showed evasion, insincerity and
want of good faith" The deficit is over 81 900.
Mr.. Londoner, of the committee, said: While
it might be considered that the board was not
under obligations to pay any Grand Army bills,
1t was fact which could not be changed that
bills were still due and unpaid. The reunion
had caused at least million dollars to be ex-
pended in the state, and at least half of that
amount to be spent in the city. This money is
in the hands Of our people and will do infinite
good, to say nothing of the vast benefit of
having the large attendance Of strangers at the
reunion. There are number Of bills which
should be paid, among them the arches, the
opera house decorations, badges of the execu-
tive committee and others. do not think the
report should go to the world that Denver
had the encampment and failed to pay for 1t.
1t is too cold blooded, and l think the board of
trade and the Grand Army should unite and
try to raise money to pay these bills. This
was concurred in by Messrs Beatty, Haine and
others, and the president Of the board was re-
quested to call meeting to consider the sub
ject

covered with manuscript. The left
arm is bent, bringing the half-open
