A FIERCE CYCLONE.
An Appalling Disaster to Several
Minnesota Towns.
st. Cloud, sauk Rapids and Riee's Landing
Laid vyaste--A Heart -RendIng List
of Casualties Partly Tells
the Tale of Woe.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, April ia tornado
struck St. Cloud, Mimi, at half-past four
Yesterday afternoon. 1t came from =
southwesterly direction, passed through
the town aud went almost due north,
striking Sauk Rapids, three miles away,
a few seconds later. The first news Of
the tornado was received at the general
office of the St. Paul, Minneapolis Man
itoba railroad just before five O'Clock.
The message said that the company's
freight depot had been swept away and
every car in the company's yard blown
over and carried several blocks. A sec
Ond message was received few minutes
later saying that sixty or seventy build
ings had been demolished.
st. Cloud is the county seat of Stearns
County. It is west of the Mississippi,
several miles back from the river, and
seventy-fiye miles north of ST. Paul. It
has q population of 4 1850.
Sauk Rapids is three miles above, on
the opposite side of the river in Benton
County.
At St. Cloud the loss to the Northern
Pacific & Manitoba railroad is $4,000
and to dwellings, $4,000. At St. Cloud
the storm seemed to have been almost
local in origin, and to have gathered and
spent its force within space of less than
thirty miles in length and twenty rods in
width. 1t started less than two miles
south of St. Cloud. About 8 80 p. m, a
number of dark and ominOuS clouds gath
cred in the southwest, and short dis
tance beyond the city began to take the
terrible appearance of a cyclone. A long
and exceedingly black and funnel-shaped
cloud seemed to be let down
from the heavens. Some people who
were hunting in the immediate vicinity of
the fierce storm beginning say that a
stratum of hot and motiOnless air seemed
to settle on them for a moment with a
sitting effect and they fed onward as the
fierce demon of the storm rode down
upon the wings of the wind.
The weakest part of the tornado was
felt in St. Cloud. The storm seems to
have barely gathered force when it fell
upon this city.
WORSE THAN FIRST REPORTED.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, April I5.-Latest
reports from the path of the cyclone indi-
cate that the destruction of life and prop
erty has been even greater than at first
reported The storm was the most ter
rife ever experienced From the point
of starting, about one mile south
west of St. Cloud, to a point some dis
| tance beyond Sauk Rapids, a distance
! of fifteen miles, it destroyed every
thing it touched, tearing and rending the
stoutest materials. It's path, so far as If
| has been examined, is from 800 to l,00O
feet wide. From this every building
fence, tree and shrub has been swept
away. In places the ground is torn up as
/ if by an explosion, and in the yards of the
Manitoba railroad at st. Cloud even the
rails were twisted from the ties and bent
! into useless shapes.
Each report received increases the list
of casualties. The following is the most
] complete list vet received, and it is feared
1 that it does not nearly tell the whole sad
! story:

TndescrIbebIe Fury Of the Tornado.

TndescrIbabIe Fury of the Tornado.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April ia special
from Sauk Rapids says that the fury of the
tornado there was indescri bable. Heavy
building were lifted from their founda-
tion-stones like toys and dashed in frag
ments to the earth A long string of
laden freight cars on the Manitoba road
in St. Cloud were lifted from the track
and ruined Nothing that felt the breath
of the cyclone survived to tell of the ex-
perience. Horses and cattle were lifted
by its mighty force high into the air and
dragged a mile or more away, and men,
women and children were ruthlessly
picked up and dashed to death bY its
cruel power.
Beyond Sauk Rapids the news of the
disaster comes in slowly. Thus much
has been gathered from a farmer who
drove into town to bring the woeful tid-
ings. After destroying much timber and
much stock, but doing little damage to
life or limb, it selected a lonely house
near Rice's Station, and here wreaked its
utmost fury.
The whole city of Sank Rapids was laid
in ruins. Only one store was left stand
The principal thoroughfare, Broad street,
presents a scene of utter desOlatiOn, as
though mown by the scythe of the de
stToyer.
Many saw the cyclone coming from the
direction of st. Cloud and fed for safety
to their cellars

Rnrlnr WOOL.

The housekeeper's semi-annual battle is
near at hand, Hosts are arming with scrub
bling brushes, brooms, mops, whitewash pails
etc. To move on the foe, strength, patience
and perseverance, are required to insure vic.
tory. We, who on the journey Of life have
left fifty years or more behind US, shrink
from the engagement. AS II Is inevitable, we
will brace ourselves for the conflict, looking
for our reward TO the intense satisfaction we
feel when every nook and corner of the
house has been inspected when carpets, cur
tains bedding, boxes, drawers and even rag
bags have been freed from the winters &C
emulation Of dust and dirt To many, this
work is extremely distasteful. To all such
persons l would suggest that some work be
chosen which ia more congenial to the taste,
and mix il up with this hard work, as it were,
sugar-coat this bitter pill OF drudgery. For
| years have taken the spring house cleaning
season to start my flower seeds, and my in
terest in this helps me through the task won
| derfully. l have made q success of it with
out the aid Of hot bed, and will tell you my
method in as few words as possible 1 have

with bits of broken crockeTy or fine chip

earth and light garden soil the last inch
should be slfted. wire dish cover has
done duty for years. Place the boxes in a
sink and saturate thoroughly with warm wa
ter. Make the earth level with the bottom
of a box that is a triAe smaller. Sow the
seeds carefully, and sift over them light
covering Of earth. The depth OF the seed is
the rule given in all catalogues. Seeds as
fine as the petunia should be pressed into the
earth without any covering. Place the boxes
on the table cover closely with pasteboard
or folded newspapers. Keep them in a warm
room during the day; draw the table over q
furnace register at night. Before having a
furnace, | filed the drawer of the table with
warm bricks at night to keep up the bottom
heat. As soon as the seeds start, give them
light first, and then the sun by degrees. They
seldom need watering before making theil
appearance. Should they require it, dip {
brush Or whsk broom in warm water snd
shake it carefully over them, so as not tC

Not a Popular Move,

The obnoxious bill to increase the rate of
postage on fOurth-class matter, which was to
have affected the interests of the farmer and
the scotsman so materially, is killed. The
Senate committee on post-offces reports that
in it's opinion the doubling of the rate would
result in very great reduction of the revenue
from this class of service, instead Of an in
crease, as was represented; and the belief ia
expressed that it would turn large portion
of the service into the hands of the express
companies which would charge an increased
rate thereby entailing upon the people moi
only great loss of facilities, but largely i'm
creased expense. The public will be far bet
ter served by the government than by the ex
press companies. CultigatOr.
There is no doubt that the proposed in
crease of postage on fourth class matter
would have materially diminished the revenue
from this source had it been adopted nor il
there hardly greater doubt that a reduction
of the present rate would increase the reve
nue.. The present rate favors the express
companies much more than the people. lie
us have postal rates for the benefit of tn
people rather than for the express companies
