Big LAKE, MINI. April 5.-Drs. High ee
and Dalliver, of Minneapolis, who arrived
from st. Cloud this afternoon, told re.
porter that more bodies were being recov-
cred hourly from the debris, and were
being brought in from the country on the
track of the tornado. Twelve injured
people were brought in, several of whom
will die.
Druggist Scuahert's remains had just
been found. He had only been in the
city two weeks. Four have died of
wounds since morning.
At a church east of Rice's Station, thir-
teen instead of ten of q weddin. party

At Sank Rapids. thirty-one are already
dead. The list will be swelled to forty.
DIR. Ames, of Minneapolis. who is on
duty at st. Cloud. told DIR. Dalliner that
at least thirty deaths can but result from
the visitation there.
Drs. Denslow and Richie, shortly after
midnight, went across from st. Cloud to
Sank Rapids to render what assistance
they could there; twenty-three dead
bodies had been found, and the doctors
from Minneapolis were busy caring for
the wounded. The first one they saw
was F.. G. Halbert. formerly State SEN
atOr in the New York Legislature, but
now Northwestern agent of the New York
Life Insurance Company for Minnesota
and Dakota. He was receiving every at
tention possible. 1t is thought his skull
is fractured at the base, and both arms
and one leg are broken. He is desper-
ateiy injured. The chances are all against
his recovery.
Every house left standing in the place
was used as temporary hospital for the
injured. Many people are missing, and
it is believed their bodies will be found
far distantfrom their former homes.

A Similar Disaster In Iowa.

OMAHA. Neb., April ia special to
the Bee, from Panama, Ia, says
A cyclone yesterday afternoon at 1880
O'Clock, struck the town of Coon Rapids
and completely demolished most of the
place. One boy was killed and numerous
persons were injured. Twenty-Five
houses, two churches, one schoOl-house
and several business houses were de-
stroyed. A freight train, except the
locomotive, was blown from the
track and demolished and
the contents ruined. The cyclone
swep over Western Iowa. doing consider
able damage. II is supposed the cyclone
started about three miles east of Girls
void, and then passed north and slightly
east, then going about nine miles south
east to Atlantic. passed two AMI 3 hall
miles east of Brayton. The cyclone had
the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud.
Southeast OF Atlantic, about four miles,
Henry Rogers house was blown away,
and his hired man was badly injured.
Jno. Kinks big stable, 500 feet long, was
destroyed, together with his horses.
In Benton township ten houses were
totally destroyed and one woman fatally
injured. Near Brayton the dwellings of
Jos. Reynolds and William and Donald
Brittner were destroyed and also the
Brittner schOOl-house. The pupils es-
capped, however, by running with the
family into Brittner's cave or cyclone
cellar, they having seen the cloud CON-
ing. Mr.. Northgraves, in that vicinity,
was dangerously hurt. Much stock has
been killed. reports from the cyclone
are very meager so far, but it is believed
that great damage has been done and
many lives lost.

IndescribabIe Fury Of the Tornado.


Sr. PAUL, MIMI, April ia special
from Sank Rapids says that the fury of the
tornado there was indescribable. 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 sUrviv ed to tell of the eX-
perience. Horses and cattle were lifted
by its mighty fierce high into the air and
dragged mile or more away, and nj Ell,
women and children were ruthless,y
picked up and dashed to death by its
cruel power.
Beyond Sank Rapids the news of the
disaster comes in slowly. Thus much
has hcen gathered from farmer who
drove into town to bring the wOeful It'd
ings. After destroying much timber and
much stock, but doing little damage to
life or limb. it selected 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
ing, and one side of that was stove in.
The principal t:.oroughfare. Broad street,
presents scene of utter desolation, as
though mown by the scythe of the de
Stroyer.
Many saw the cyclone coming from the
direction of st. Cloud and fed for safety
to their cellars.

A FIERCE CYCLONE.
An Appalling Disaster to Several
Minnesota Towns.
81. Cloud. sauk Rapids and Rice's Landing
laid wsste--A Heart Rendins List
of Casualties Partly Tells
tho Tale of Woe.

ST PAUL, Minn., April ia tornado
struck st. Cloud, MIMI, at half-past four
yesterday afternoon. 1t came from q
southwesterly direction, passed through
the town and went almost due north,
striking Sank Rapids, three miles away,
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 1t is west of the Mississippi,
several miles back from the river, and
seventy-five miles north of St. Paul. 1t
has a population of 1850.
Sank 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 $3.50 p. M,
number of dark and ominous clouds gath
cred in the southwest, and short dis
lance 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
stratum of hot and mOtionless air seemed
to settle on them for moment with a
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.
MINNEAroIIs, Mimi, April l5.-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
rifle ever experienced. From the point
of starting, about one mile south
west of st. Cloud, to point some dis
lance beyond Sank Rapids, distance
of fifteen miles, it destroyed every
thing it touched, tearing and rending the
stoutest materials. Its path, so far as it
has been examined, is from 500 to LOCO
feet wide. From this every building,
fence, tree and shrub has been swept
away. In places the ground is torn up az
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
that 1t does not nearly tell the whole sad
story:

Well, here we have been almost
fourteen months under wicked dem
ocratic administration, and none of the
predicted calamities have come to
pass. The negro has not been en-
shaved; the public debt has not been
repudiated; southern war claims have
not been paid the great business in
terests of the country have not been
ruined; there is no big financial crash.
Some Of the things which democrats
promised have already been accom-
plishcd, and the rest will follow in due
time. The credit of the country is at
It's highest point; the administration is
honorable; the public service has been
improved. At no time in our history
has the country been so well repre-
scented abroad, and at home the federal
appointments have generally been good
enough to win the approval of all par
ties, And, best of all, during the first
fiscal year of this democratic admlnis-
tratlon the public debt was hewed off

management. The republican papers

ALDEN's LIBRARY MAGAZINE
This popular Magazine, which, begin
