The Wrong Thing Happens.

There are some men who would get
dust in their eyes in a rain storm.
don't know how it is, but they never
seem to do things as other people do.
Now there's that man of Wilkins, he
means we'll enough and would break his
back at any time sooner than have any
thing 60 wrong with his engine, yet
something is always going wrong. He
spent two hours last night setting that
eccentric, and when he turned steam on
the engine ran the wrong way He had
got it into his head at some time, long.
long ago, that the belly OF the eccentric
should be set ahead of the crank in the
direction in which the engine was to run;
and he set his that way, never thinking
about the rocker-arm. | was sorry for
the fellow, but not SO sorry for that par
ticular case as for the numberless cas- es
which must have occurred, and for the
equally numberless other cases which
must inevitably occur as long as he
handles an engine. He will be doing
things like that until death do him part

ONE HUNDRED DEAD.
FEARFUL CYCLONES IN MINNIE
sofa COUNTIES.
The storm the Most Destructive tho state
Has Ever known-A Terrific Downpour
of Rain Follows the Wind-kai.road
Traffic Suspended.
Death Kept Busy.

st. Paul dispatch: The phenomenally
wet and stormy season has eliminated
In series OF cyclone bursts, which
occurred Thursday afternoon, and were
spread over half the southern end of
the State, extending from Spring Val
ley, Fillmore County, on the east to
Heron Lake. Jackson County, on the
west, and TO Blue Earth County on the
north. 1t was the flercest and most
destructive storm MINES Jta ever
knew, not excepting even the ter
rible st. Cloud cyclona OF 1856, in
which eight-six lives were sacrificed.
At this time only the most meager
details can be gathered. Not only are
the telegraph wires down in the section
devastated but the train service is utter
ly demoraliZed, and many Of the worst
casualties occurred in districts remote,
from either rail or wire. Three distinct
cyclone centers seemed to have been
marked, and in each the havoc was
frightful. 1t is now believed that near
ly 100 lives have been lost, as nearly
every meaSer report received here con-
cludes by saying the worst is TO como,
and later reports will swell the number
of the killed and injured.
In every case there was the regular
WIFI llS utduiJ SbCllOHS,
roar and restlc IS sweep, followed by q
cloudburst. Nothing was left standing
in the path Of the cyclone, houses, trees
and barns having been swept away.
The storm centers seem to have been at
Wells, Faribault, County; Sherbourne,
Morton County; and Spring Valley, Fill
more County.
At Wells the storm came on without
the slightest warning, the frightful roar
OF the approaching whirling column
being the first intimation. The cloud
veered to the south as it reached the
outskirts of the village, leaving terri
bic scene Of death AMI destruction.
SO far as now known, seventeen per-
sons were killed in this immediate vi
cinity, as follows John Brown and wife,
Herman Bremen, Mrs. John Matusic6,
Wealand Steen, wife and child, j Ohm Pie
tics, VIM. Pictios. Mrs John Dell, Albert
Klingbert and two children, Mrs. John
Joerson and two children. All OF these
are farming people. Twenty-Five are
reported more or less seriously injured,
but in the excitement that reigned their
names could not be ccrtained. The
damage to houses, barns, cattle and
crops cannot now be even estimated,
but it will be very great. At Albert Lea
eight are known to have been killed, and
many others are missing. Minnesota
Lake reports five dead.
The cyclone was followed by terrific
downpour Of rain, the water falling in
an apparently solid mass. Every stream
Is out of its banks, and not train is to-
day running. Washouts are reported
In every direction, with bridges gone,
trestles undermined, and in places the
roadbeds themselves are gone.
1t is thought when communication is
established throughout the stormswept
district the list of dead will be found
not far short Of one hundred persons.

KILLED BY A BOLT.
People Struck by Lightning mt Lincoln
Park, Chicago.

Lightning laid livid fingers upon the
mammoth Grant monument in Lincoln
Park, Chicago, Thursday evening and
the two-score Of pleasures seekers who
had crowded under the granite arches to
seek protection from the shower fell
PROSTATE upon the stone floor. Three
were instantly killed. OF the injured
one was picked up raving like maniac,
two were unconscious and another sup
posed TO be dead. A little infant in the
arms Of its grandmother, who lay black
ened from head TO foot and almost de-
nuded, was taken away unframed. The
alarm was given by a park policeman
who had just left the shelter, and q few
moments later the clang of the ambu-
lance bell parted the surging throng that
instantly gathered about the scene Of
horror. The dead were lifted into a
patrol wagon and sent to the morgue
and the injured were taken TO the Ger
man hospital.
Lincoln Park was crowded during the
afternoon with men, women and chill
dren, seeking in the cool lake breezes
and the shade of many trees to escape
the sweltering heat Of the homes and
downtown streets. When, at $50
o'clock, the sky darkened and storm
cloud blotted out the sun, shelter was
taken wherever it could be found. The
pavilions were crowded, and many
sought the questionable shelter of the
trees. large number were on the
lakeside, and many were viewing the
monument.
When the big drops came down about
eighty clustered about the great base of
the monument fully forty crowding into
the little room directly beneath the
bronze soldier and horse, and as many
more standing in the roadway beneath.
At Gas o'clock the fatal bolt fell, Earring
the granite base and turning deathly
pale with fear every mortal in its en-
brace.
The scene that followed was appall-
Ing. For an instant those upon the
ground looked into one another's eyes,
then followed scream after scream from
the death chamber above. Men pushed
up the winding stairs at either end OF
the arch, and when they looked out in
the gathering gloom, made almost dark
by the massive masonry, not a person
was standing.
Then began the work of rescue. Men
and women were lifted to their feet.
Water was brought from the lake in
hats and sprinkled upon the blanched
faces and consciousness restored TO
fainting ones, who hurried away from
the scene

Impure AIR.

Says the American Analyst: We be-
lieve that it is an established fact that
impure air is "a prime factor in the de-
velopment of tuberculosis. To tell tho
truth, people seem TO avoid pure outdoor
air as II IL were poisonous. They take
the greatest pains TO shut ii out OF their
dwellings, public halls, churches,
schools, places of business, street cars,
railway carriages, theaters, and other
buildings, public or private. So that
wherever we go or stay the same thing
is to be met-foul air. We speak OF the
savage as filthy, wanting in neatness
and cleanness. but the great difference
In this respect between ourselves and
these people is that their filth is mostly
on the outside, on the exterior of their
bodies; whereas we take our impurities
directly into the lungs, and from these
into the circulation. We are careful not
TO drink from a cup that has touched the
lips of child with dirty face, but we
do not hesitate TO breathe into the lungs
air that is freightod with foul human ex-
erection, the debris of the vital organism;
moreover, these organisms are often
stepped in tobacco, whisky, and other
noxious substances. Worse yet, we
live in an atmosphere that has been
breathed over and over again, not only
by ourselves but by persons, it may be,
whose bodies are one mass OF disease
and corruption.

Choosing "a Partner.

II suppose, said the old gentleman TO
the young fellow who had asked him for
his daughter, that you know my daugh-
ter has $780, in her own manner"
Yes, sir, I've so understood re-
sponded the applicant frankly.
And you have nothing?"
Not a copper.
Il suppose if she had been as poor as
you are you would mot now be asking
me to let you have her?"
"No, sir l would not"
We'll now, young man." and the
fathers tone was not kindly, don't you
consider that sordid and mercenary and
selfsh?"
The young man shook his head.
AS business man to business
man, he said, "let me answer that by
asking you if you needed money in your
business and you had choice of two
partners, one poor and one rich, which
would you admit to partnership"
The old gent studied a moment and
withdrew further objections.
