William Kavanagh, who was killed, was
book keeper and general salesman for W. R.
ingalls,, and was about eighteen years of age.
He was here in st. Paul last winter, where
he attended the commercial college. The
deceased was the son of James Kavanagh,
brother of P T. Kavanagh, of this city. The
latter received a letter from his brother,
which says: ''The cyclone struck the vii

son Willie. We have just recovered his body
from the ruins. have not seen him yet.
His body is sadly crushed, and friends are
just now laying out and washing his body in
the wagon shop before taking him to his
home.

Humbert & Co.'s planning mills and lumber

John E. Gloyer's mills, as soon as repairs
can be made, will be set at work preparing
lumber for the rebuilding of Clear Lake vii

villagers are safely under roofs again.
Bill Nye, the celebrated humorist, played
tragic part in this storm. With his brother
Frank he was travelling by team, and was
three miles east of Clear Lake when the cy
clone began its pranks. The humorist was
blown violently from his wagon and both
low the knee. Trees and fences were flying
in the air on all sides, but neither Of the
brothers was hit by them. The highway,
however, was impossible. On discovering
that his brother was disabled, Frank Nye
went to Clear Lake, secured gang of men
with crosscut saws and axes and began cut
ting passage way in pioneer fashion. They
made team road a mile and half, but the
men became so exhausted they could go no
further with their work. Four Of them then
walked the remainder of the distance and
carried Bill Nye on their shoulders to the
wagon. An hour later the wounded man
was borne into the Office of DR.. Goodwin, of
Clear Lake, and the neglected leg set 1t
was, therefore, six hours from the time of
the accident before the limb was given sur
gical attention and good portion Of this
time the gentle William was lying by the
roadside alone. Bill Nye, however, will not
down. He was Brought to Hudson, his
home, on the Omaha train late yesterday af-
ternoon, and he was cracking jokes at the
train officials all the way.

The role played by laundry maid to save
the chaste wife of Sir Eustace de Nessy
from being seduced by King John is well

no woman is allowed inside a barracks
and the soldiers have to do their own
washing. In the time of Elizabeth, no
laundress was permitted to enter the pre-

Mr.. Jerome l. Case, of Racine. Wis, the

improvements in threshing machines.
This vas good many years ago. Unlike
most inventors, he was a shrewd business
man, and was, therefore, enabled to enjoy
the fruit of his brain. He began the manu-
tacture of threshing machines in a small
way, and now has the largest establish
ment of the kind in the world. AS his

MOUNTAINEERING,
Measures Relating to the Printing o
Small Bills.

Measures Relating to the Printing of
Small Bills.
The bill authorizing the national banks
to issue their notes for the amount of the
par value of United States bonds held by
the Treasury for redemption of the same,
says Washington letter to the Balti-
more Sun, is now on the Speakers table.
1t is certain Of passage by a large ma
jOrity when it can be reached in the regu-
lar order 1t is understood that the
Committee on Banking and Currency
propose when that committee is reached
under the Monday call to move to take
the bill from the table and pass it under a
suspension of the rules. 1t is somewhat
doubtful whether the necessary two thirds
vote can be obtained.
1t is the opinion at the Treasury that
Congress viii take no action on the letter
of the Secretary of the Treasury asking
Tor an appropriation to continue the print
ing of the one and twO-dOllar notes, which
has been before the Committee on Appro-
priatlOns OF the House for two months or
longer. Some of the Treasury officials in
cline to the belief that Congress will not
authorize the printing Of any more notes
of smaller denomination than five dollars.
The silver men are opposed to it, as are
also those who, faYOring a sound cur
Of small value. France issues no paper
Of less value than 100 francs, and in Great
Britain, with the exception Of a few one
pound notes, which pass current in Scot
land, the lowest denomination issued is
five pounds. In both Great Britain and
France small gold and silver coins circu-
late freely. There does not seem. so far
as the Treasury is advised, any embar-
rassment in business circles at all on
account of the scarcity of the small notes.
Silver is now paid out daily in considera-
bic sums at the sub-treasuries, and is
received without objection The only
valid objection which the Treasury regards
as now lying against silver coin is its
intrinsic want of value as compared with
gold. 1t is hoped at the Treasury that if,
by reason of the failure of Congress to |
provide for greenbacks of the smaller
denominations, silver is forced into gem
eral circulation, Congress will be
brought to see the necessity of raising the
value of the standard dollar to one hun
bred cents.
1t is the general opinion that the Senate.
will not pass the trade-dollar bill as sent
to it by the House, but will restore the
fourth section. Should the House refuse
to concur, which is anticipated, the bill
will probably fail. 1t is said that the
larger part Of the trade dollars are in

NIGHT THOUGHTS,

So still and calm, so beautiful the night.
The burning heat had passed;
To eyes that wearied with excess OF light
Darkness had come at last.
Far overhead, in the deep vault OF heaven.
Stars kept their brilliant way
The great Orion, and those Sisters Seven.
With all their bright array.
And as watched the glorious armament,
Behold, bright star fell;
So silently il fell, with slow descent
And sad and mute farewell.
Say, hast thou left the sphere appointed thee,
Like some lost earthly soul,
Finding thy faith and patience failing thee
Before thou'dst won the goal?
Or hast thou taken but lower room
In which 10 work and pray:
Unselhsh love seeking, through toll and gloom,
Those that have gone astray?
With trembling hope and passionate desire
me eager questions rose;
Unsatlshed, unqUenched, they still aspire
Till this strange life shall close.
Striving to penetrate the mystery,
Our human senses fail,
Till Death, the great revealer, passing by
Gently Withdraws the veil.

That you might list, perchance might SIGH
Whilst idle tears would start,
To feel it with the last goodbye

the recent third jury trial of the case.
During the eight years that Mr.. Kilbourn

counsel against him the Hon. Samuel
