A BAD STORM.
Wind and Snow in the West and North

Wind and Snow in the West and North
west.
CHICAGO, H., Nov. 1.-THE conflict OF
the elements incident to the exit of
warm weather and the advent of win
ter's chilly blast eliminated to-day in
one of the most destructive and far
reaching storms of the year. The
initial battle ground of the mighty
opposing forces, it appears, was near
the little city of Red Bud, Ran
dolph County, in the extreme south
west part OF Illinois, about eighteen
miles from the Mississippi River.
Sweeping down from the north came a
/ tremendous storm of snow, rain and
sleet, which, encountering the warm air
currents of Egypt" developed three
distinct cyclonic storm centers, dlverg-
ing from common center near Red
Bud. Taking southeasterly course,
one prong Of the Storm passed
rapidly on through Western Ken
everything in it's path at Red
Bud and only when Northern Alabama
was reached had it spent it's force. To
the westward moved second storm
center. passing through Central Missou-
ri, thence across Northern Kansas, final
ly being lost in the mountains in Wyo-
ming: but the curious feature Of this
remarkable atmospheric disturbance lay
in the direction taken by the third arm
"a northerly course through Iowa,
veering to the west in Nebras-
ka, leaving hopeless tangle Of
| wires in it's wake, until it
became next to an impossibility to
reach any of the great cities west of Chi
cago except by circuitous routes. These
seemingly insurmountable obstacles,
however, were partially overcome, and
few Of the more notable instances will
be of interest: Not wire remained
from Milwaukee to St. Paul, Minneapo-
lis and the Northwest, these points be-
ing served with European and Eastern
domestic news over the Southern Pacific
route to Denver, thence to Ogden, Utah,
Helena, Mont, and via the Northern
Pacific to Minneapolis and St. Paul. Be-
tween Nashville and Memphis all wires
are Frustrated, dispatches being han
died from Chicago to St. Louis, relaying
from st. Louis through Texas to New
Orleans, thence north by way of Chat
tanooga, back to Nashville, and finally
reaching Memphis over a system of
"spliced" railroad wires. The Cali
fornia system is badly crippled, owing
TO the loss OF numerous Trunk line
wires, being served with great difficulty
by the South Pacific lines through New
Mexico and Arizona, and by the north
route via Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington.
Dispatches from Peoria, Fairbury,
Salem and Warren and other points in
Illinois report heavy storm with the
mercury dropping rapidly toward the
zero mark. In many places a heavy
fall of snow is reported.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
Democrats Will Control the House by
Voto

Democrats Will Control the House by
Ninety Votes.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. ia COM
plete list of representatives in Congress
elected last week made up from the re-
turns received by the Democratic Ma
tioDal Committee and compared with
those received by the clerk of the
House agrees substantially with the
estimates sent out. 1t shows that
the Democrats have elected 222
members, the Republicans l25
and the Populists I, giving
the Democrats a majority of 80. Ii
the Democrats carry the election for
congressman in Rhode Island they will
ton. True, the Democratic candidate
in Idaho, who was defeated bv Willis
Sweet, has filed .his notice of contest,
and SO has John J. O'Neill, Democrat,
in the Eleventh Missouri District, who
claims that illegal votes were cast for
Charles Joy, the Republican, to whom
the certificate was issued. Although no
notice has yet been filed, it is under
stood that Donald McNaughton, Demo-
crat, in the Thirty-frst New York Dis
trict, viii! contest the seat OF John Van
Voorhis, and that J. Maurice Finn will
contest the seat Of Samuel M. Steven
son, RepuDllcan member OF the pres
ent House. The Seventh Carolina Dis
trict, known as the Black District, also
promises it's regular contest. The third
party, or Populist vote, will not be
strong in the Forty-third Congress.
They are given voting strength of Z,
but this will not be manifested on
all occasions. Peace, the Populist
elected from the First District of
Colorado, is Republican, and so
is Francis Newlands, of Nevada,
and generally they may he counted
upon as acting with the members Of
that party. McKeighan and KEN, of
Nebraska, are third party men Of the
present House, but were elected to the
Fortv-third Congress on fusion ticket.
They will 90 into the Democratic caucus
and act with that party. Davis, Baker
and Simpson, of Kansas, will, as rule.
be found in the Democratic column of
votes on all propositions which are di-
vorced from their peculiar notions Of
finance.

Inc DiHerence feFWeen Paper Currency
.'s'i Gold for tn. Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 19-Second
Auditor Patterson, in his annual report
to the secretary Of the treasury, devotes
considerable space to consideration of
the musty question OF paying the SOL
dlers who served Turing the war of the
rebellion or tfelr widows or legal heirs
the difference between paper curren-
cy and gold. He estimated the number
of enlis ed men to be included in such
arrangement as follows: 1862, $40, 400:
1868, 7G3. 100; 1864, l,72O, 400; 1865. 90S,-
10. Amount required to pay these
men the difference between gold and
currency, the auditor says, is $l44, 1922
o0), which amount would be sweiled TO
to 5000. 100000, provided com missioned
of officers were paid on the gold basis.
The auditor says that the present indi-
cations are that the balance on hand for
the payment O claims for back paw and
bounty will be exhausted long before
the close OF the present fiscal year. and
mat many claimants will have to wait
or their dues unless Congress provides

POOR X SAS,
Prospect of u Woman Senator from That

finance.


stale.
Topeka, Kas., Nov. II. The opinion
exists here that stranger things might
happen than the election of Mrs. Mary
E. Lease az United States senator from
Kansas. A. L. Williams, general at
torney of the Union Pacific, said to-
day: 81 know of no reason why Mrs.
Lease should not be a senator. There
is nothing to prevent it except tho pop
ular idea that a senator should be a
man."
David Overmeyer said: 81 hardly
know what would be done if she were
elected. Mrs. Lease would make a
good senator if she could be seated"
J. W. ADV, United States district at
torney, said: 1.-THE question would
have to be settled on a contest. Mrs.
Lease is certainly entitled to the place.
She is the leader of the Populi ,ts.'
5. L. Hazen, judge elect of his dis
trict, said: "As | think of it now do
not see why Mrs. Lease should not be a
senator"
Mrs. Leases candidacy for the Senate
has become a serious reality. She is
fixing wires for the place, and her pop
ularity with the rank and file of the
party will give her at least an equal
chance with other aspirants, especially
as there seems to be no constitutional
disQualiti cation.

Seventy-fivs Buildings Blown Down a.
Kedbud, I'll.
REDBUD, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-At $3.50 this
morning cyclone swept over this viii
lage, destroying thirty houses, kill
ing one boy and injuring some fifteen
other persons. Two churches, the
town hall and jail and newspaper office
were among the buildings leveled.
The wind wave came in the midst Of
driving rain storm, and it was day
light before the full extent of the cat
astrophe was known or the injured
could be given attention. The storm
came from the south and cleared path
200 yards wide through the town.
Jacob Kabe was the name Of the boy
killed. His mother was among the in
jured.
Wires are down in every direction,
and the roads impossible, so that the
full extent of the storms work cannot
be obtained.
The cyclone first demolished the
Catholic Church and school and the res
idence of Herman Drage. The German
Lutheran Church was next Ieveled to
the ground. After destroying several
barns, bearing away all kinds of fences,
it next attacked the large two-story
residence of Peter Kendall, which was
of solid stone, and crumbled it to frag-
ments. Mrs. Kendall was severely in
jured.
A large double brick house, occupied
by d. D. Perry as a dwelling, office and
composing-r Of the Red Bud Demo-
crat, was entirely destroyed. The family
were buried in the ruins, but managed
to extract themselves without serious
injury. Peterson's agricultural ware
house was blown down and fourteen
other residences were destroyed.
The 11-year-old son of Mrs. Jacob
Koch was killed instantly, and his
mother was fatally injured. The others
seriously injured are Mrs. Peter Kar-
den, Mrs. Louis Boyer, julius Holm.
Mr.. Hoffman, Alden Starr, Miss Emma
Crow, Mrs. John Manderfeld, MIR. and
Mrs. S. D. Perry.
Many of the people are without cloth

makes their situation the more deplora-

BIG EXPRESS ROBBERY.

Police Find Thief amt Money.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. Ibid United
States Express Messenger George L.
BagIey steal 100000? Is Bagley
under arrest? Chief Detective John
Shea, of the Chicago police force,
answers yes to both questions.
General Manager Shepard, of the United
States Express Company, answers botn
questions no. One hundred thousand
and dollars, Mr.. Shepard saws,
was missing for q day, by
virtue of what circumstances he
cant explain in detail or with any
definiteness." Capt. Shea says his Off
and are now with him on the road
working up the details Of the robbery.
3agley's run is between Davenport,
Ia, and Chicago. Bagley says he left
the train at Davenport at 3 o'clock yes
terday to arrange for sending some po-
tatoes to his family. He did not
return. When the train reached
this city it was found that a
large package of money was missing.
The Captains Officers Plunkett
and Weaver on the case, and they
learned that Bagley had a female
friend, Mrs. McMiller, a dress
maker at BIO Michigan Avenue. Bag
ley had not been there, but they
promptly placed under arrest. AT
police headquarters Bagley met Gen
eral Agent Wygant, OF the Express
company. The messenger admitted
the robbery and said the money could be
found at Geneseo. Detective Weaver at
once started for Geneseo with parley,
and found the money. Bagley, the
Captain says, made false statements
concerning his actions which led up to
the securing of a confession. Then, too,
his action in buying ticket to Chicago,
when be is the bearer of pass, was
peculiar. Such is Captains history.
Now General Manager Shepherd says
Capt. cheas story is false. "lt is not
true" said he, that any money has
been stolen flom this company, that
any arrests have been made or will be
made" 1t is true that pack
