THE DAY AFTER THE STORM
bright Day DAVIS on tn, Dreary Desola.
tio1 at PomeYoY.

POMERoY, Ia, July s.-A brighter
day never dawned on n sadder commu-
nifty than that which lighted the east
ern heavens this morning and shower
cd golden beams on a mass of ruins
which, but a few days ago, was the
beautiful little village Of Pomeroy. All
night nurses sat attentively beside the
cots Of the wounded, ministering to
their wants, while many physicians
made regular trips through the differ
ent wards to do all in their power to
alleviate the sufferings of the
~unfortunates. There was little
sleep for those engaged in the care of
the wounded and n number Of those
not thus engaged were busy preparing
accommodations which were badly
needed this morning.
Many of the physicians who have
been in attendance during the past two
days were compelled to go home and
the hospital force is badly crippled this
forenoon. DIR. R--E.sConnif of Sioux
City, who has been SO diligent in the
direction of the surgeons and nurses,
returned home this morning and DIR.
Wright is in charge.
1t is expected that the afternoon
train from the west will bring a num-
Der of physicians and surgeons from
Sioux City and intermediate points.
The relief committee also has assur-
ances of the arrival OF many addi-
tional supplies today.
AS yet there have been no amputa-
tons, but it is thought one of the in
jured men will have to have a leg taken
off this afternoon TO save his life.
Those who are in the most imminent
danger are:
Jesse Purden. 8 years old.
August Myers, l2 years old.
James Mellor, IS years old.
Sam Thomas, 40 years old.
Roy Keiffer, IL years old
Joe DE Mars, "a years old.
Henry Genke, 62 years old.
Mike Quinlin. "a years old.
Headquarters" which has been es-
{ blished at the Pomeroy state bank,
" IS u scene Of great activity this morn
lug. Stoves were set up in all direc-
tions in the brick structure, and by 5
o'clock there was n steady stream of
people Mt the bank counter getting
breakfast. There seems to be no lack
of food. Cold hams were received
this morning, and milk, which had run
short Yesterday, was plentiful.
At 3 o'clock the Fort Dodge militia
company mounted guard. Eleven moro
OF the soldier boys came In on a special
last night. and they are taxi
ing the places Of those who
have worked SO hard. Lieutenant

Why the Ponoa Racas BALLAD.

PoNcA, Neb., July "a great deal
of surprise was occasioned when IL was
announced hat the races were de-
clared off. There was quite a crowd in
attendance and all gate money was re-
funded. The principal cause as as
signed by some of the directors
was mismanagement on the
part Of the former secretary.
Another very vital reason was the
horsemen failed TO pay their entrance
money when due. OF course, they will
be barred from entering other races
till the same is paid, but that does not
help the association. The crowd was
not what was anticipated. The rail-
road was paid a bonus to run the spe-
Gals, and yet full fare was charged.
The society has a number of debts
besides purses TO pay. but the stock
holders, who are liable, arc good for
ten times the amount.

nouncing a further reduction In work
ing hours from forty-eight to forty
four hours per week.
beginning with next Saturday only
four hours work will be performed on
that day in all the departments.
Members of the Knights Of Labor
say they are fully satisfied, as they be-
lieve In the reduction of working
hours instead of the force, but what
the different trades unions will do in
the matter remains TO be seen.
Heretofore the trades unions have
not taken kindly to the idea of reduc-
ing hours, but believed In a reduction
Of the force, which Is contrary to the
opinion Of the company, as expressed
by Superintendent Mcconnell when no
said that the company proposed to fur
nish work to all Of their men as far as
possible If they were compelled TO re-
luce hours.
OF the 100 men discharged on Nom
day last forty. four were mechanics and
helpers in the car repair shops, n the
others were distributed over all other
departments with the exception of ma
chinists, boiler makers and b~lacksmiths
who suffered some slight reduction
some time ago, according TO Master
Mechanic Manning's statement.

Friday afternoon, when the special
relief train arrived from Sioux City,
the physicians and surgeons present
found hat the work of caring for the
injured was being conducted without
any particular system. DIR. ii. G. Ris'

work, but as he went home early Fri

stories of dreadful adventures that ]
myself have had with snakes. In the

cu'ation Again.
CHICAGO, July o.-The depositors in
the local banks, especially those max
ing a speciality of savings, have largely
increased during the present week.
This is believed to be due to the fact
that numbers of people who during the
recent furry withdrew their deposits
from savings institutions and placed
them in safety deposit vaults are now
returning them as regular deposits in
the banks, in the assurance that the
furry will not be repeated. Two
weeks ago 1t was almost impossible 10
obtain n single box at any one of the
safety deposit institutions, but inquiry
today developed the fact that the de-
mand had ceased, and that scores of
boxes are daily being stripped of their
contents for return to the banks.
