ST. CLOUD, April 1s.-The day has been
observed much in the usual style. Services
have been held in all the churches, and the
sermons bear on the calamity. The streets
have been full of excursionists, who went
over the devastated district and then
crossed the river to Sauk Rapids. The hotels
at the dinner hour were crowded and the
Grand Central fed over 500 people, larger
number of people than ever ate
in its dining-rOom before. Relief
committees have been busily engaged at the
opera house unpaeking clothing and provi-
sions received late Saturday night and
classifying them so that they can be dis
tributed systematically. Members OF the
committee are at work preparing list of
all the needy and those most worthy of as
sistance will receive attention first. An
authentic report of the loss by individuals
will also be prepared in few days. Yes
teTday contribution 10 the re-
lief fund was received from the citizens
of Sauk Centre, amounting TO 5000. The
ist Of contributors was headed by A. j.
Smith, with a donation of 500. This
~ .
Clarke of this city, and the fact that he did
not make more liberal donation is causing
! considerable comment. He is said to give
as a reason for not giving more literally
that he had furnished lumber to people to
build their houses on longtime payment,
and as they have been totally destroyed, he
will be a heavy loser. Mr.. Clarke is re-
ported 10 be one of the wealthieSt men In

Manitoba road arrived here this afternoon
III special car, and met
REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS
in the court house, where consultation was
held as TO the best course TO pursue in TAX
ing care of the afflicted. Mr.. Hill urged
thorough organization of the committees
anc careful distribution Of articles and
money contributed for the benefit of the
sufferers. He heard the report OF the COM
mittees and expressed himself as pleased
with the work they had done, and offered
his services and those of the road he repre-
sented in the work of mercy. About O'clock
he left for Sauk Rapids. Accompanying
Mr.. Hill was DR.. j. II. Murphy of st.
Paul, who came here in the capacity of
surgeon general of the state, under orders
from Gov. Hubbard, TO organize the medi-
cal forces here and establish system in their
work, as reports were that there was ap-
parently no head to the department. and
the result was considerable confusion. He
met the physicians in n. p. Clark's Office at
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon and discussed
the situation. He appointed DR.. Hoyt of
st. Pgul medical director at Sauk Rapids
and DIR. Gilman of this city as director at
this point, and ordered all local physicians
to report to them the number of
fia1 Tlaf~ et.a, fV,,ar r,sN -
their injuries. He rendered the use of the
ST. Paul hospitals for all cases where re-
covery will be slow. DIR. w. w. Day Of
st. Paul was appointed as aide. with in
structionS 10 submit TO him a complete and
detailed report of the number and condi-
ton Of the wounded. The corps OF sur
geons and physicians sent here from ST.
Paul will stay as long as needed, which
will probably be several day. QThey have
been busy up TO the present time, and re-
port the prospects for the recovery of
patients, with one or two exceptions,
favorable.
DIR. RAMSEY
of this city is deserving of gleat praise for
his tireleSS work at the hospital, of which
he is in charge. He began mis- labors
Wednesday night. From that time until
to-day at ? a. ~, he had slept but five
hours. The greater number of operations
have been performed by him. No deaths
have been reported to-day. Edgar Hull.
president of the German-American bank,
this city, took out an insurance policy on
his life for SS, 900 in the Northwestern
Guaranty Life Insurance company of st.
Paul last February, but he became
delinquent through neglect to
to pay dues, and the certificate aud receipt
without payment were mailed TO the COM
pany on the day he was killed, and were
received the day following, which relieves
the company of the obligation to pay the
| amount Of the policy. Last night a man
who was walking through the brush back
of Lieut. Gov. Gilman's house discovered
the three. year-old son Of Me Zens, named
George. He was carried into the brush
by the wind, and had lain there
forty-eight hours when found. He
was somewhat bruised, but still alive and
sprightly. he is one of pair of twins,
and the physicians at the hospital say he
will recover from his injuries, which are
not considered very severe.
