STORM-SWEPT AGAIN.
Rain and Wind Do Considerable
Damage About the CITY.

For the second time within two weeks
St. Paul has been visited by storms of
great severity. and again considerable
damage has been done to property.
The sultriness of the atmosphere Sun
day night presaged that a disturbance
of the elements was at hand, and in the
early hours of yesterday morning the
city felt the full force of the discord
which reigned in the clouds. Shortly
after l in the morning the hori-
of electrical current which followed
each other without intermiSSion. The
low rumbling of the thunder was of
threatening character, and soon storm
of heavy character was raging. About
$50 new element of danger arose, in
a wind storm of terrific proportions.
which suddenly swept down upon the
city from the southeast The heavy
gusts of wind swept through the streets
and avenues in an alarming manner,
while the rain fell in torrents.
The heavy buildings in the city felt
the full force of the wind, and to those
whose duty kept them out during the
time the storm ragged it seemed that a
cyclone was imminent. The aspect of
the heavens was terrifying, vet
grand, during the progress of the
storm. The heavily charged clouds
which hung over the city were rent
open by the fierce and forked flashes of
lightning, and it seemed as if million
bright furnaces had concentrated their
fiery glow behind the rain-charged
heavens. The grandeur and mystery
of Nature were never more fully eX-
emplified to those who witnessed the
awe-inspiring sight. while the sense
of hearing was dulled by the crashing
of thunder and the fierce roaring of the
wind.
For fully two hours the elements held
sway, and many a stout heart Quailed at
the thought of impending disaster.
Gradually the storm spent its fAxy aud

passed away, and many prayersew
breathed by those whose early Slumbers
had been disturbed.
Fortunately, no loss of life occurred.
but considerable damage was done to
property.
A two-story frame dwelling house at
the corner of Maryland and Smelling
avenues was completely demolished in
one OF the heavy gusts of wind. The
wooden sidewalk in front of the house
was ripped up for a considerable dis
lance by the force of the wind. Fort
unately the house was unoccupied, or
serious loss of life would have occurred.
A two-story stone warehouse, at the
corner of Hamline avenue and the
Northern Pacific tracks, was struck by
lightning, and damaged to the extent of
S2O0. The private residence, Csc SheH
burne avenue, was also struck by the
electric fluid, and $50 damage, done.
George Smiths residence, 1910 Reanev
street. was another point where the
lightning struck. but only nominal dam
age was done.
The Churchill block, at st. Anthony
Park, was completely unroofed bylk
particularly heavy gust of wind. AS
for the trees, in every part of the city
they felt the full force of the wind
storm. and considerable damage was
done to them. On Summit avenue and
the various streets on the hill, there is
not block where trees have not been
blown down, or great limbs snapped
on: in many cases the roots of the trees
being torn right out OF the ground.
The telephone and fire alarm systems
also suffered severely from the wind
and electrical disturbances. Wires in
many cases were severed by the force
OF the wind, while tie electric current
charged many of tie circuits. and
threatened destruction and danger to
the office instruments and the operators.
Many slight washoutS took place,
owing to the heavy rainfall, and the
tunnel of the Northern Pacific road
was again flooded with eight inches of
water by the overflow of Trout brook.
NO delay was caused to the railroad
service running into the city, but early
morning travel OIL the street railway
was delayed for time until trees which
had fallen on the tracks could I've re-
moved.
The electric light plant at White Bear
lake was struck by lightning during the
progress of the storm and set on fire,
considerable damage resulting.

IMPROVED COUNTRY ROADS.

Colonel Pope, in the March Forum, urges
cure and disseminate information relating
TO the expense, mechanical construction,
care, durability, use and extent of the
different kinds of improved roads. He
urges state supervision by a competent
engineer in aid of scientific road and
bridge building and repairing upon a
comprehensive and economical plan for
the whole state. He would have the state
either own or control and maintain some
through highways, connecting the prinoi-
pal towns in the state, and connecting
these with the principal towns of neigh
boring states. where they are most needed,
either for great public e1igencies
or for the greatest general use.
The state would thus eaualize
aud reduce the expense of con-
struction ands maintenance of the
main roads and by the object lesson Of
good main roads persuade the adjacent
towns to construct better contributory
roads as feeders to the main lines Colo

Democratic Congressman Bryan, of Ne
braska, in his recent speech derided the
bounty on sugar which the Republicans
provided in the Mckinley law to save the
Louisiana planters from ruin. The beet
sugar bulletin issued from the Nebraska
university, on the 1st of March. shows
that the average cost of producing sugar
beets in the Lancaster county experiments,
was in one series s32.75 per acre. The
yield averaged Si.5o tons, and the cost of
production was therefore but triae in
excess of 81 per ton. The industry prom
ises well in Nebraska. Napoleon Bona
parte encouraged the establishment of the
beet sugar industries which today flourish
in France and Germany, when other
nations laughed at it; but nobody laughs
today at Napoleon's precedence and its re.
suits. Perhaps some day Nebraska will
laugh at Congressman Bryan.

of the roads already existing. so far as
may be practicable. This bill provides
also for the acquisition by purchase by the
commissioners of turnpikes needed for
state roads. or for the condemnation of
such turnpikes.
The question of good roads is one Of the
live issues of the time, aud the great states
of Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania are
both agitating the question of reform in
road building. No European nation toll
crates such roads as we have everywhere
in the United States. The penny wise
and pound foolish policy Of our farmers is
responsible for the disgraceful condition
of country roads In the United States. In
France, where the government provides
for good roads, three horses haul four tons
of hay to market with ease. In this coun-
try 1t would take tgo or three times as
many horses, and then it could only be
done when the roads are in good condi-
ton. France spends $4,000, 900 annually
In keeping her roads in good condition.
The American farmer does not seem
to understand that poor roads
are very bad investment.
In horses, mules and oxen tho farmers Of
this country have 5000, 0oo.0 900 invested.
The loss to farmer by the inability to use
his motive power owing to bad roads has
been estimated at SIS per year for each
horse or mule in his service.
President Madison, in message to con-
gress, recommended the establishment by
the government of good roads. State
legislatures should undertake such work,
and the surprising thing is that the farm
ers, who control the majority of our state
legislatures, have not long ago seen that it
is of vital consequence to the future pros
perity of the agricultural interests of the
nation that good country roads be estab-
lished and maintained by the state.
