A Cyclones Capers.

The young cyclone seen in the east
ern sky Saturday afternoon about 4
o'clock did much more damage than
was supposed possible from the dis
lance. At the cemetery it blew down
tombstones, uprooted young trees and
did considerable other damage, almost
carrying away buggy load of children.
At VIM. Peddley's dairy it lifted the
water bodily from a small lake and
raised Cain generally. while at Rice
lake it. raised logs from the water and
carried them away. The funnel-shaped
cloud also blew down trees and out
buildings at Rich Prairie. as it doubt
less did in towns in the eastern part of
the county yet to hear from. Fortu-
nately there was no loss of life or limb.

HIGHEST WATER EVER KNOWN!
But No IncOnyienence to Water Power
Our Factories and SaWmills
Running and Handling
Logs rs Usual.

The water at this place has been
at very high stage for about two
weeks past, but owing to the CON-
prehensive and substantial works of
the Water Power company here
there has been and is now no danger
of any damage even If there should
be a considerable greater rise than
can reasonably be expected. No in
convenience has been experienced by
the factories along the canal on &C.
count of the height of the water, as
the water in the Water Power Co.'s
main canal can be kept at a uniform
height by the gates in the massive
granite gate-house at the head of the
canal and the mills are not troubled
with back water, for the rapids ex-
tending from the dam for mile or
two down stream prevent this even
at a flood stage of the stream. The
dam, 20 feet in height, having a crest
or overflow more than 800 feet long,
makes it impossible for the water
Immediately above the dam to an
inconvenient height. The millions of
feet OF logs for the mammoth saw
mills of the Weyerhaeuser Syndicate
are doomed in the slack water caused
by the dam and they are running the
mills and handling their logs with
out inconvenience while the saw
mills at Minneapolis and other
Mississippi points are shut down, be-
cause OF the extreme high water, and
grave fears are expressed for the
safety of the logs in other booms.
1t is expected that the river will rise
but little if any more here, though it's
movements arewatchcd with inter-
est but with no anxiety by our citi-
zens, as no damage can possibly re-
suit to the property interests here
if double the present amount OF wat
er were flowing over the dam.

Hon. L. P. Hunt, OF Mankato,

commission, is in St. Cloud today on
his way to Bismarck, where he will
address the legislature OF North d.
kota, in Joint session tomorrow
afternoon. He goes there upon the
Invitation of the Dakota commission
and will present arguments as to
why an additional appropriation of

its special session today. Mr.. Hunt
also conferred with the members OF
the committee in st: Cloud who have
undertaken to raise the 81 500 which
is Stearns county's quota of the ad-
ditional 500, 900 needed by this state
to make aproper exhibit. He wishes
to include Stearns county in his re.
port, which he will make to the com
mission next week. He says that Z;
per cent of the counties have raised
their part of the fund, and 80 pei
cent. of the total amount is secured
st. Cloud Times.

From Wednesdays Daily.
PEOPLES COUNTY CONVENTION.
Representatives from Few Towns
Meet and Transact Bust
ness.
stN0 FusiOn'' the General Sentiment
Of The Delegates.

The Peoples Party county conven-
ton was called to order by Chair
man T. w. O'Neill soon after 10
O'Clock, at K. of L. hall this morn
ing, and q committee OF three on
credentials was appointed as fol-
lows: VIM. Grell, C. Whiting and c.
E. Brown. About thirty persons
were present when the meeting came
to order, some being from outside
the county. Belle Prairie and Ri p
ley were we'll represented, about one
half the delegates being from those
towns. While the committee on
credentials was engaged in making
the report, James T. Plant, of Sher-
burne county addressed the meeting
upon invitation of the delegates.
Most of his time was taken in read
ing the demands of the est. Louis
convention" and allpresent signified
by rising vote that they endorsed
free silver, the subtreasury plan and
government ownership OF railroads.
It seemed generally agreed that this
nation had arrived at the verge OF
moral, political and industrial ruin.
acknowledgement by Mr.. Plant
that a Peoples party county ticket
be placed in the field this fall in every
county met with hearty applause.
He concluded his remarks as soon as
the committee on credentials was
ready to report, and their report
showed the towns represented by
the following delegates.
Little Falls-J. F. McNally, f. W.
Collins, Paul Gaethke. Belle Prairie
Alliance-H. Rasicot, N. Barbeau and
Jas. Doucette.
Belle Prairie town-C. W. Little,
F. Branchaud and P. Picotte.
Ripley-C. B. Charter, A. German,
F. Lemieux.
Pike Creek-C. Whiting, James
Dobie and J. Redmon.
Clough-C. E. M. Brown.
The report was accepted and
adopted.
The perma nent officers elected were
J. F. Mentally, chairman and Paul
Gaethke, secretary. Next in order
was the election of delegates and
that business was quickly disposed
as follows:
To state convention-E. w. Collins
and G. Whiting.
To congressional convention-Hen-
nv Rasicot, j. F. McNally, John
Fleckenstein and Il. w. O'Neil.
The former county chairman, j..
w. O'Neill, was reelected, and au-
thorized to appoint other members
of the county committee, and perfect
the town organizations.
Remarks were made by delegates
and others present, and the senti-
ment seemed to he unanimous in ia
vor of separate county, legislative.
congressional, state and national
tickets. No fusion talk was INDUCED
in, and it now seems probable that
the Peoples party will take part in
the fight all along the line. Mr.. Ras-
icQt was particularly anxious that
the voters should be given a chance
to select county officers outside OF
the "ring," and his views were en-
dorsed by many. A gentlemae from
Todd called attention to the need of
preparing for the legislative contest.
The chair took as the sense Of the
meeting that the county chairman
should call a county convention in
September to look after the Peoples
party interests in the legislative and
county fights.
The convention adjourned.

A fair sized crowd gathered at the
Opera House last evening to hear ex
pounded principles that will rescue
this distressed nation from it's pres
ent declared location on the Verge
of moral, political and industrial
ruin"
a. G. Parsons, the candidate for
congress, made few remarks at the
opening of the meeting, but was
obliged to leave early to catch a
train out of town. He urged organ
ization and pledged support OF the
principles OF the party.
James T. Plant spake on the polit-
ical situation, and his remarks were
neither very instructive nor interest
ing. His most urgent demand was
the destruction of what he styled
the "machine'' methods of politics,
and he drifted to the position that
the laws should be submitted to the
people for approval after passing
legislative bodies. The fact that
this question, like the Australian bal
lot, would receive as careful atten-
ton from the Republican party as
from any, was not announced by the
speaker. The old parties were de-
nounced, but there was a noticeable
change from the tune of two years
ago, and now the Democratic party
is abused as badly as the Republican.
He placed good deal Of stress on
the extravaganza OF the senator's,
and his remarks were amusing rath-
er than important.
Hon. S. NJ. Owen was then intro
duced to the audience and began by
explaining that he had no ambitions
in politics, and would not again be a
candidate for any office. Mr.. Owen
is a pleasant speaker, and while no
convincing arguments were made in
favor of the Peoples party, he was
attentively listened to. He was very
emphatic in favor of free coinage Of
silver and government control OF
railroads, but he lodged the "sub-
treasury" issue. While he mentioned
the latter scheme, he said he did not
believe in making it an issue, and
was willing to trust that his party
would dispose OF it rightly If they
ever came into power. His voice
was raised emphatically against fus-
ion with any party or element that
did not subscribe fully to the princi-
pies OF the Peoples party. He claim
ed that much OF the success OF the
Democrats two years ago was due
to false promises Of economy, and
that their record had been such that
in the future no fusion on any candi-
dates would be possible with the
Democrats. He urged the voters to
stand by the Peoples party, and
trust that when victory should give
their candidates power in the state
and nation that all the wrongs
would be righted. He did not ap-
prove of anv particular plans for the
salvation of the nation, and thought
the present dispOilers should be dis
lodged before the quarrel was begun
over the methods of restoring the
country to happiness.
