bill into the United States senate, by

A DISASTROUS TORNADO

A DISASTROUS TORNADO.
ST. CLOUD, Special Telegram, April IA
ST Cloud cannot longer congratulate itself
upon being north of the track Of cyclones,
for it was this afternoon swept by one of
the most horrible t~ornadoes in the history of
Minnesota. Sharp points were first seen to
dart down from the clouds, and so far as this
town is concerned the cyclone had its com
mencement about 8 o'clock in the basin of
the Masonic cemetery, forming a whirlwind
here about q thousand feet in diameter. It
took almost every tree in its circle from the
ground or twisted 1t off at the trunk.
Great stones were torn up from the
earth and dragged along. Moving slowly
from here and combining itself to
a space of 100 feet across, it passed north
east over Calvary hill, wrecking the Catho-
lie chapel and SCATTERING the %crucitix. The
first house taken was Nick ~Jumemann's, and
it entered the city at John w. Tennford's
place, taking the rear part of the house, and,
crossing ST. German street, completely de-
molished John Schwartz's large brick house.
From here it swept straight across the
prairie, scattering fifty or more smaller frame
houses like so many feathers. In most cases
nothing was left to mark the site Of dwell
ings but the cellars. The prairies were
strewn with timbers, furniture and cloth
ing.
DAMAGE TO THE MANITOBA PROPERTY.
The freight depot of the Manitoba railway
was directly in its path, and portions of ii
and the cars on the track were blown half a
mile. Long lines of cars loaded with freight
were blown from the track and the rails
wrenched from place. 1t passed the limits
of the town Just west of Lieut.. Gov. Gilman's
residence, taking part of his fence and kill
ing horses 1t crossed the Mississippi at the
Sank Rapids wagon bridge, taking the two
east spans 1t here widened TO 900 feet
Stanton's grist mills took the full force, and
were leveled. The cyclone swept from there
through the center of the town, taking the best
of the business part of it, including Berg's
hardware store, Beaupre Bros grocery, the
court house and hotel near by, the public
school building, part of the brewery, anc
every important business house in the city
except G G. Woods store. The village il
virtually wiped out of existence, four-ffths
of the buildings being leveled- The course

The report that the little settlement at
been destroyed was incorrect. but people
there saw the cyclone pass by at a short dis
lance to the east Late last night s. o.
Greer, travelling for Donaldson q Ogden of
ST. Paul, came from Rice's to st Cloud and
informed a PIoNEER PRESS reporter that the
miles east of that station, where a wedding
party was in progress, and nearly all the
guests were killed or badly wounded The
news was brought into Rice's Station
by a badly scared boy, who was on horse
back He was badly hurt himself, and said
that the cyclone struck the house without
the slightest warning. There were about
thirty persons in the house, and he was the
only n that was not seriously hurt. The
boy said that nearly all were dead Several
citizens and a couple of physicians started
out to the place, where a horrible sight met
| their gaze. The dead were strewn about for
a distance of fully 600 feet 1t was found
, , that sixteen were dead, and since then it Is
said that six more have died The details at
this writing are very meager, and cannot be

was right in the path Of the storm. and It's
escape from destruction was something as
tonishing A house on one side Of it was
carried of, and another on the opposite sido

darted down, and the terrible whirlwind be-
gan its fatal course, passing along slowly
and majestically. Whenever any warning
could be given all escaped safely, but in
most instances nothing was known of the
approaching destroyer until its awful roar
was heard too late for flight The part Of
the tow struck was that of the poorer resi-
dents living in clumps of small frame houses,
often several families being in one house.
The men were nearly all laborers or railroad
men and away at their work, and only the
women and children left in the houses. The
fatalities in St Cloud, though great, are not
equal in number to those in Sauk Rapids,
but a complete list there cannot now be OBJ

DURING his lifetime the late Vice President
Hendricks was the political idol of the Indiana
Democracy aud the most popular politician the
state mad produced in this generation. .-Piaa-
dciphid Press.
II popularity means the possession Of a
strong hold on the affections Of q commu-
nifty, the late Mr.. Hendricks was not the
most popular politician In his state while
Gov. Morton was living No other citizen
Of Indiana has ever held so high and 80 sure
place in the love and respect of her people
as was earned and occupied by o. p. Nor
ton. Indiana has not forgotten who It was
that held the state to its loyal moorings
and saved the cause Of the imperlled
Union when Democratic dlsloyalty plotted
to ruin that cause by delivering the
state to the confederacy. 1t may be
that the Union would have been saved
had some other man been In Morton's place,
but we do not know the name Of any other
man who could have filed that place, and
we doubt II any citizen Of Indiana can call
such a name with any degree OF confidence.
When the war came on Morton and Hen
bricks took different and divergent paths,
and those who loved the Union cause will
never forget, and never ought to forget,
that Morton did and Hendricks did not do
patriots duty in that hour Of trial.

key, Chill, Haytl, and San Domingo, and a
copious allowance Of consuls general, sec.

that "oilice-seekers from other states will
be likely to be disturbed by the new an
nouncement." The argument of the ad.
ministration is simple and cogent: 1--WE
are sure Of the solid south, where jughandle
elections keep the majority down. New

The Congressional Campaign.

The campaign In some OF the congress
sional districts has but Just begun, and in
most not yet started, while in Vermont the
work has been warm and decisive. 1t is
well TO make no mistake in predicating
victory in overwhelming numbers upon
this result. Every congressional district
will be closely contested, every sort OF de-
vice to tempt men to run for place in order
to draw of Republican votes will be sup
ported, aided, and abetted by the Demo-
Gratis, locally and nationally. These side
parties are sent out In guerrilla warfare
while the main party follows Immediately
in the rear of the supply train. But few

The Philadelphia Inquirer begs leave to
assure It's southern contemporaries that they
must not accept all that Henry George says
as unmitigated truth. "The miners of
Pennsylvania" says the Inquirer, ''are not
white slayes-the recent strikes should
have told them that-and are not paid In
store orders, except in rare cases, and then
in defiance Of law. And in no case that the
writer has ever seen or heard OF during
years OF residence in the coal region do
delicate women and young children have

and It is universally obeyed. But what can
you expect of q man who breaches the doe

At this writing the leaders OF the Indiana
Democracy are in mourning. Chairman
Henderson, Of the Democratic state central
committee, Of Indiana, was unanimously
Endorsed by Senator Voorhees, and the
Democratic congressional delegation for
some good position outside Of Washington,
by which he might be able to recuperate
financially. President Cleveland appeared to
take deep interest in the case, and selected
the Office Of register of lands In Tuscon,
Ariz., to which he promised to appoint him.
Shortly after, the President took to the
woods. Through the influence of Senator
Cockrell and Secretary Lamar a new deal
was secured, and a Missouri man appointed
TO the very place the President had chosen
for and promised TO Mr.. Henderson.

not been questioned. Among the faithful,
however, It is now said that he should be

Take the heart-itself very bundle Of
muscular fibers. We know that as long as
we live, whether sleeping or waking, that
wonderful organ keeps up its regular con.
fractions and expansions. But, when we
use our muscles, their contractlle force upon
the blood vessels helps the blood along its
channels, and thus takes q little labor from
wiz, propelling heart. II beats faster but
museh,e,es Lees effort. While helping the heart,
! tAoTS ear exercise helps the lungs also.
,,Uoss y, s<>issssSise meaps for the lungs more
Wreath; that Is, more air inspired and moro
carbonic.acid gas expired. By deeper
breathings the involuntary muscles are
strengthened. While the lungs and
heart are doing better work under
the stimulus Of muscular exercise, the
heart pumping the blood more GER
tainly to the furthermost tissue OF the
body and the lungs more rapidly purifying
the blood other organs are benefited. The
diaphragm, that muscle separating the
lungs and heart from the stomach aud
liver, is rising and falling, and, with the in
creased expansion and contraction OF the
walls Of the thoraX, is moving all the con-
tents Of the abdomen to activity. The
liver, the great gland of the body, has not
only more blood sent to IT, but is quickened
TO action.
