OUR MONEY SYSTEM.
a Number of Changes Have Been sug-
gested to Secretary Carlisle.


gested to Secretary Carlisle.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Star says:
While members of Congress and leaders
in financial matters are discussing va
rious plans by which the present situa-
ton can be relieved, officials OF the treas
ury department are quietly preparing
statistics and histories of financial trans
actions for the benefit OF the administra-
ton to guide it in its own views of the
vital subject. Several plans have been
suggested to Secretary Carlisle. Among
them is one which contemplates an entire
change in the money system of the
United States. In short, the plan is to
pass special resumption act
redeeming all the various forms
of money now used in the country and
issuing instead, United States treasury
notes whose value shall always be fixed.
There are at present nine different forms
of money in circulation and the fact of
the wide difference between the value of
gold and silver coins, while they are
theoretically of a parity, is one of the
causes which suggested the plan pro-
posed.
National banks during the past two
months have increased their circulation
nearly 81 200, 00O. Orders for new circu-
lation to an amount of g, 277 ,0OU having
been received so far this month by Comp
trOlIer EckleS.

STRUCK BY THE TwIsrER.
The Loss of Life Is Appalling, victims
Mutilated.

-A-S @-SSS "a @-2AO -
Mutilated.
CHEROKEE, Ia, July later reports
OF loss OF life by yesterdays cyclone more
than confirm the first reports. There is
NO town in this country that was
struck by the twister, yet the loss of life
is appalling. The horrors of the situa-
ton is increased by the terrible mutila-
ton of the victims. The body of one
young lady was found but the head and
one lower limb was missing. The force
of the wind was terrific, large rocks were
torn from the ground and hurled long
distances. The pipe OF deep drive well
which projected above the ground only
four feet was drawn completely out
which could hardly be accomplished by
human means.
Latest advices from Pomeroy say that
forty bodies have been recovered and the
work is not yet completed. Many of the
injured are horribly mangled. An ap-
peal has been received here for nurses
and food. A relief train is about to
leave for that point, carrying a number
of prominent ladies who have volunteered
assistance. A supply of provisions was
also sent. The loss in this county will be
large, but the county will be able to meet
all demands for relief from its citizena.

WORST IN HISTORY.
The Sioux Valley Has Been Very Un
fortunate.

The Sioux Valley Has Been Very Un-
fortunate.
LEMARs, Ia, July 7.-Advices from the
storm stricken district east OF here con-
firm the reports already sent by the
Associated Press from Fonda and else
where. At Pomeroy, the bodies re-
covered up to O'Clock numbered thirty
five and over 100 are known to be injured.
Collins and help have been ordered from
Cherokee and towns west. The storm
started in the south part of Cherokee
county, crossed the Onawa branch of the H.
inois Central at Qulmby where there were
several injured and two or three killed.
From Quimbv it passed through the
country region until it struck the main
line at Pomeroy. Crops and farm houses
were swept away along its course. The
Sioux valley has been unfortunate, being
swept nearly every year by flood, cyclone
or hard storm. Last nights cyclone was
the worst of the lot.

JOHN PETER and wife,
Miss BURGESS,
Ed WALLS,
j. H. WOODRUFF.
The list of dead is still incomplete. Re
ports are coming from the country and
the number of dead will be swelled to at
least so. Tonight the scenes around
Pomeroy are heart rending. In
the old postoffice building dead
bodies are being gathered and as
friends come to identify them the scene is
beyond the power of the most graphic
pen to picture. Many bodies are
literally torn in two, others
with pieces of boards thrust
through them, heads are mashed, limbs
torn off and some SO badly disf1gured that
they can only be recognized by clothing
or some trinket.
The wounded are being well cared for
in the different hotels, and those who
were fortunate enough to have homes
spared opened them to the injured, and
all that careful nursing and the best med
zeal attendance can do is being done for
them. The property destroyed will
amount to $500 600.

BLOWN AWAY.
The Velocity of the Wind Was Simply
Awful.


FONDA, Ia, July 1.-Two women were
killed and several injured six miles south
of Cherokee. Ten persons were killed
and several injured south of Aurelia one
was killed and several injured near Storm
Lake. The names of the injured near
Cherokee are Mrs. Lester and Mrs. Mony-
neux.
Mrs. Mersham, south of this place, was
in the throes of confinement at the time
and was blown away. There is a re-
port that four of the Burgess family, near
Aurelia, were killed. 1t is believed that
several houses wrecked are yet unheard
from.
The cyclone was followed by a heavy
rain storm, passing very near the city of
Cherokee, which, however. experienced a
heavy rain and hail storm. Some OF the
hallstones were as large as turkey eggs.
To show the velocity of the wind, an iron
cylinder in threshing machine was torn
out and carried twenty rods.

Removed.

CHICAGO, July IA special from Bos-
ton to an afternoon paper says of the re-
port in regard to the cancerous growth in
the presidents mouth that it was noticed
a year or more ago, but gave no trouble
until lately. Last Saturday, under the

painful, and the physieiansr require per-
pated.
The same authority states that the

The Village of Pomeroy Almost
Entirely Blotted Out Of
Existence.
ONE HUNDRED WOUNDED.
Many of the Dead We're Literally Torn
to Pieces---Arms and Legs
Blown Off.
Two Hundred Families Are Homeless,
Many Having Lost Their All-The Path
OF the Storm Strewn with Carcasses
of Animals and in Every Direc-
ton Is Wreck and Ruin.

Fort DODGE, Ia, July 7.-Seyenty-
four people dead, at least five more to die,
and over one hundred injured, is the re
suit Of the cyclone that started at Quimby
and ended with awful results at Pomeroy
last night. At the latter place forty are
dead. over hundred wounded and five
blocks of residences demolished, nothing
remaining but kindling wood; 200
families homeless, many having lost their
all. Business blocks are badly damaged +,
and the new postoffice, drug
store and seven churches are completely
demolished. The loss in Pomeroy will
reach fully 500, OOO, All is chaos there.
The residents still alive are in dazed
condition and it is very difficult to get in
formation.
The storm came from the northwest
and did terrible work in literally one
minutes time. An immense amount of
damage was done to crops and the path of
the storm is streWn with carcasses of ami
mails, and in every direction there is
nothing but wreck and rain.
Immediately after the storm passed the
cries and means of the injured and dying
were heartrending andwilling ones began
the work of rescue. Their work was
sickening, as people were found literally
torn to pieces, some with legs or arms
gone, others suffering from terrible
wounds with their life blood oozing out.
and many of the dead were so disfigured
that they were unrecogniZable.
The old postoffice was turned into q
morgUe and at one time contained twenty
six bodies. The Good Templars' hall and
hotels were turned into hospitals where
every effort was made to relieve the I'M
fortunate.
The storm wiped out communication
with the world and Ed Masterson started
on 3 horse for Manson for help. He was
stopped by bridge being washed out and
in attempting to ford the stream was
nearly drowned. He hailed a special
train bearing officials of the Illinois
Central and they backed to Manson, sent
for assistance and then proceeded with
help to Pomeroy. Another train with
physicians and other help followed
shortly and soon the work of relief al
Pomeroy was IN progress.
A train left here with nurses, bedding
food and collins this morning and the in.
terment of the dead commenced this
afternoon. A relief committee was es-
tablished in Pomeroy and all contribu-
tions and offerings will be received with
gratitude. 1t IS impossible to obtain g
list OF the injured.
