The MendOt0 Hospital.

In none of the institutions of the state
have the citizens of Wisconsin reason to
feel greater pride than in the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Mendoza. Under
the able and painstaking management of
the Superintendent, DR.. r. M. Wiggin-
ton, Mendoza Hospital has attained a
high point of excellence, and compares
favorably in all respects with any similar
institution in the country. The wants
and requirements of nearly 500 patients
are closely looked after, both as regards
their personal comforts and hygienic de-
mands, making the Hospital indeed a true
home for these unfortunate people. The
grounds and general surroundings are in
proper keeping with the superior internal
arrangements. The State was happy in
the selection of a site for the Hospital
situated as the building is on a slight
eminence commanding a view of Lake
Mendoza, majestic sheet of water, with
a beautiful wooded lawn sloping down
to the waters edge, forming landscape
Of rare loneliness. The farm attached to
the Hospital is under good state of Gull
tivation and notable in the agricultural
department is the splendid creamery
which affords an ample supply of cream,
milk and butter to the institution.
The state has recently by purchase added
to the Hospital lands the old Governor
Farwell farm, well known to the early
settlers as Governors Point" contain
ing over so acres. This is one of the
most romantic and charming spots in
Wisconsin, and never fails to arouse the
enthusiasm and admiration of the visitor.
Here Leonard J. Farwell, the first and
only Wing Governor of Wisconsin, had
his home, the old house still standing
amid stately trees and Indian mounds, but
in ruin and decay, reminding one of some
baronial hall whose memories and glories
had long since departed.

a leg broken above the knee. This hou e
is an indistinguishable mass of ruins.
The barn of Mr.. Heckler near bv. was
also blown into pieces.
The roof of Rock River Hall was blown
Off and the smokestack of the grist mill
of May q Waterbury was blown down
also the Eaton ice house near the railroad
bridge. Beyond this there was but little
damage on the south side of the river,
The track of the cyclone is almost en-
tlrely confined to the city and is
about 400 feet in width. It seems
to have dropped from the clouds near the
furniture shops, and rising again after its
destruction of the house of HolIobusb.
disappeared in the heavens. So far as
learned the injuries to persons is confined
to four, the principal one of whom, Mrs
Lemerth, living near the furniture shops,
was struck in the side and head by a
stick of timber. Several of her ribs were
broken and a severe wound made in the
scalp. She lies in a critical condition.
Charles Leplant, teamster OF the
Northwestern Manufacturing Company,
was struck by piece of timber, break
ing his shoulder. This, including the
injuries to Mrs. Hollobush and children
is all the bodily injury that was done.
Such an exemption as this in view of the
terribleness of the visitation seems really
miraculous. The storm lasted less than
twenty seconds and yet the damage may
be reasonably summed up to the amount
of $4,000 The entire place presents
sad sight and the work of years lies a
dreary waste. Although the people are
full of pluck and energy and have already
set about to repair the damage, syet it
must be some time before the thriving
little city can recover from the crushing
blow.

its path was 10 to 20 rods; that pecu.

ed the air; that the rate of forward move
ment, north of east, was not more than
forty miles an hour, as shown by the op-
portunity for taking shelter in cellars; the
chief factor in the destruction was the

More York of the Storm.

Mondays afternoon storm was very Sc
we're at Wales and Dousman on the west
ern line of Waukesha county, and direct
ly east of Concord and Sullivan in this
county. About two and half miles above
Wales, just midway between there and
Dousman, regular tornado crossed the
Northwestern Railroad track and swept
everything to the earth that stood in its
path, houses, barns, trees, telegraph
poles and fences, alike falling victims to
to the fury of the elements. The track
of the storm seemed to extend about three
quarters of a mile in width, and cut a
swath through the woods, the smaller of
the trees being uprooted from the earth,
or snapped in two like SO many reeds.
while the largest of the forest veterans
were bent and twisted into all sorts of
fantasies shapes.
About halfmile south of Dousman a
large cheese factory was blown down, and
it is reported that man was struck by
the falling structure and instantly killed.
The building is one mass of ruins, and
is total loss to the proprietors. 1t is
said that there was considerable stock on
hand, which, together with the machin-
cry, etc, will cause the financial damage
to amount to a considerable figure
A farmhouse about two and half
miles east of Dousman also fell victim
to the tornado's devastating power, the
dwelling, together with the outhouses,
being leveled to the earth. Immediately
after the violence of the storm had sub
sided, a large number of more fortunate
friends congregated at the scene of the
! disaster, and at a late hour in the even
ing were still engaged in the laudable
work of placing the structure in habit
able condition. The house of DIR. Pick
etts, situated about a mile from the i'll
fated farm house just mentioned, was
completely demolished, and Mrs. Picketts
who was blown quite distance and
lodged in tree, received injuries that
may prove fatal.
