A MINNESOTA CYCLONE.
The Towns of Rochester and Zumbrota
wrecked-Many Lives Lost

The Towns OF Rochester and Zumbrota
wrecked Many Lives Lost.
WINoNA, Mimi, Aug. 22.-At o'clock
last evening cyclone struck the north part
of the city of Rochester, Mimi, making a
clean sweep. Elevators, residences. railroad
engineihouse, and other property along the
railroad were completely demolished. Mayor
Whitten telegraphs that twenty-four persons
were killed and forty wounded.
The city is in need of clothing, food and
assistance. Among the killed is John NJ.
Cole, proprietor of the planing-mill.
The list of killed and wounded
is hourly increasing The prostration
of telegraph lines made it difficult to get par
ticulars. The storm swept the towns of Uti-
ca and St. Charles in Winona county, and
Job Thornton was killed and several others
injured. The report from Dodge county in
dicates much damage, with loss of life, but
there are no particulars yet. Mayor Lud-
wig of Winona, with corps of surgeons
left for Rochester this morning. One-third
of the town is an entire wreck 1t is believed
from all reports that come in, that the
whole country surrounding Rochester is in
ruins. The killed may reach up into the
hundreds. Governor Hubbard sent S., 900 to
aid the sufferers.

What Louisiana Should DO.
Shreveport Democrat.

The designation of the New City
Park, situated just below Carrollton, as
the location for the Exposition in New
Orleans i'll 1884, and the voting of an
appropriation of 100000 by the New
Orleans City Council aro.two important
strides recently made toward the COM
plete success of this enterprise. The
city, in the present cramped condition
of her finances, could barely afford to
spend so much money on the Exposi-
ton, but the people realize its impor-
tance, as well as. the fact that the city,
within whose precincts it is to be held,
should show becoming liberality and
munifcence in the premises. We are
sure that she will derive ample returns.
in one way or another, froms her outlay.
The subscriptions now amount to over
$500,000 and afford guaranty that the
success of the Exposition will meet the
fullest expectations of its warmest advo-
Gates.
The world will be in New Orleans
during the winter Of 1884. Everybody
will be on band, and he will have an
object in view. The emigrant will be
there looking out for q home. 1t will
be grand trial between the States for
the supremacy i'll all things that constl-
tute State greatness. Louisiana has all
the means Of successful competition.
Let them all be utilized. Let the Expo
sition be another starting point on the
road to her pr0speritY.

Wrinkles are democratic and fiatter
nobody" The same may be said of all
blemishes of the skin, whether caused by
sickness, age OF accident. GLENN's Sui
PHuR Soar will at least retard the time
when wrinkles make their appearance,
by keeping the skin of velvet seftness,
improving it's elasticity, and preserving
its hsalthful appearance. 1t gives a
pearly aspect to the skin, which cannot
be distinguished from the natural hue of
a pure blonde complexion. Beware of

Heroes of the Plains.

Mr.. J. w. Buel, the we'll kpown au-
thor and traveller, spent large part Of
the past summer among the Indians Of
the West, aud during the time visited
the renowned Chief, Sitting Bull, at
Standing Rock Agency, Dakota. While
there he obtained from Sitting Bull and
his principal Chiefs full account Of the
massacre of Custer and his men in June
1876. This is the first and only time
the Indians have teld their side of the
story, which is more intensely interest
ing because none of Clusters men lived
to relate the horrors of that unparal-
leled massacre. Mr.. Buel has added q
full history of this great historical event,
and his OWE experiences among the saw
ages, to his celebrated book, "Herees of
the Plains," with fine portraits Of Sit
ting Bull and his principal Chiefs, and
many other illustrations. He has also
added the life and adventures of "White
Beaver" the great Medicine Man of the
Sioux, with many new and spirited il
lustrations, forming one of the nest
complete and thrilling works on West
ern life ever written. The book is highly
recommended by Maj. Gen. Merritt,
Commander of the West Point Military
Academy, and other distinguished pee-
pie. Agents are wanted; see adver-
tisement elsewhere.

To the Voters of the 9th Police Jury
Ward, st. Landry parish:
I am highly astonished to find in the
Opelousas Democrat of October 20,
notice from Mr.. Sam Haas, trying to in
validate the decision of the Police Jury,
taken Tuesday, Oct. 9th, about the es
tablishment of new polling place in
the 9th Poliee Jury Ward.
On Monday, Oct. 9Th, myself handed
to Mr.. Sam Haas the petition for the es-
tablishment Of this new polling place,
signed by at least rs citizens, and he
presented it to the Police Jury himself.
Before leaving on his " important busi-
ness,n Mr.. Haas gave the remaining
members of the Police Jury authority to
establish the new polling place at Noun
tain Bayou, and declared that he would
make ne objection to their decision, and
now he seems to object very strongly.
How is this When over 20 voters
want polling place at Mountain Bayou,
it seems to me that there ought to be no
sensible objection to placing it there
particularly as NO enc doubts that the
9th Ward ought to have more than one
polling place. | am astonished at my
friend seBa Haas. Respectfully,
CHAB. DossMAH.
