A CHICAGO CALAMITY.
a Two-Storv Brick Building Co,lapses
and Kills Ten Persons.

The north wall Of John York's building xt
III South Hastead street, was blown out Al
As Monday morning in sudden gale Of
wind A frame house, which stood adjacent,
was buried beneath mass of bricks and tim
ber Ten people were buried by the ruins
and all arc probably dead. They were the
families of John Smith, saloon keeper, and
A kunze. jeweler The building had been,
gutted by fire and the work of taking down
the brick walls was in progress when the
wind finished the work by blowing the side
wall over upon the two houses adjoining-
The wall fell intact almost on the roofs of the
two houses, then suddenly breaking near the
third-story windows, It's great weight came
down heavily in one mass. Bricks and pieces
of timber and mortar were hurled far into
the street. Scarcely had the sound Of the
fall died away before there another
crash. Another portion of the wall, which
had been left standing near the east end, had
gone down.
Officer William Hanks on the Canalport
avenue station, near the corner OF Hal
stead and Nineteenth streets when the tirss
part OF the wall fell He hurried to the York
building and reached 1t just rs the secou0
crash occurred. He could hear distinctly the
groans of people buried beneath the ruins
and cries Tor help. 1nefe were WOucn'b'
voices mingled with those of men and child
rem, but these were hushed by the great mass
OF bricks and debris that fell.
The police and fire departments were SUM
moned at once andwent TO work to removs
the debris so as to rescu ethose buried belo~--
The services of the fremen were not only
needed for the work of rescue, but for the
flames that began to leap above the mass Of
wreckage. In the crushed buildings had been
four or five stoves, and these scattered their
contents throughout the splintered structure
Like fends q crowd of several hundred per
sons, headed by half hundred tremen, bc-
gan to tear away the mass of wreckage ihni
covered the human beings.
Their work was slow, and, though not de-
TERED by the thought, they had given up ALI
hope of saving a single life an hour after the
crash The first rescued was Fred kuaze. the
o1-year-old son of the jeweler He was unin-
jured, but could not move, as he was pinned
down by 4 heavy door that had fallen aeress
him. He was taken to S. W. Dreyfus' reinE
liquor store and cared for, as he was almost
too weak TO stand. No bones were broken,
however, and he complained OF no i'll eaectss
of his experience.
Mrs. Smith was also rescued alive, but she
was fatally injured and cannot live The
other nine buried were killed.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
A Circus Boa Con.trictor rrie. to sw.,-

most thrilling incident occurred at Bar
atzo, Wisconsin, on the 1st A circus which
Is winter!ng there was putting a lot Of py-
thons and boa constructors into new quarters.
In some way little Norwegian boy stepped
into the cage OF boa constructor, thirty-two
feet long. The snake sprang from the cage
with distended jaws and gobblcd the young
fter. The attendants were horraed to descry
aiastdisappearing pair of legs sticking out
through the monsters jaws. The great SER
penrs eyes were afiame with excitement. and
In another second or two the poor little Nor
wegian boy would have disappeared from
view forever
IL happened that Henry Ringling, giant
In strength and stature, was present. lie is a
man Of quick impulses, and, without counting
the cost or foreseeing the danger, he grasped
the serpent around the neck and commenced
shaking It. With one whIsp OF lts muscular
tail IT sent Mr.. Ringing scurrying head over
heels across the floor. AL Ringliug took In
the situation at glance, and. graspIng a
long chain lying on the floor. he passed it
around the serpent's body at point about
six inches below where he thought the child's
head would be, and directing several attend
ants to grasp either end OF the chain and
pull with all their strength, he was gratified
10 notice a relaxation OF the snakes effort to
swallow the child Then the chain was made
fast. The snakes tail fastened around
post and the whole body drawn TO its great
est tension. This rendered his majesty inert
and powerless. He still continued 10 gulp,
but his game was up. Two men inserted n
wagon-iaek between his jaws and by degrees
they we're prled open and the boy pulled out
His head and body were covered with thick
saliva OF a peculiarly offensive ordor. The
boy gasped for breath and burst into tears.
Then he looked around in wondering way
and ran out of the house and across the snow
To his fathers wagon. The boy will recover
unless blood-poisoning sets In. The wounds
are about his shoulders

The REVIEW this week makes some
very foolish criticisms of President
i Cleveland's action in the Hawaiian
matter. The remarks show decided
lack of information upon the subject or
wish on the part of the writer to
wantonly misrepresent. Read up on
this subject Bro. Moon.-Democrat.
Whew, listen to that now! O, ow.
We are sorry that we spoke. But Il
Bro Small had read the Presidents
message. which appeared in last weeks
review, and the instructions to Willis
which accompanied it, he would not
have been so hard on us. He might
have given us another chance for our
life.
Let us examine that article in the
light of the message and instructions.
and possibly it may not seem So
foolish or show such decided
lack of information" as Bro. Small, in
his profourd wisdom and deep penetra-
ton, would have us believe. We stated
that President Cleveland had found 1t
impossible to restore Queen Lii without
the use of force. What is there fool
ish" about that Or in What way does it
show lack of information?" Were not
those his Instructions to Willis and does
not the fact that the Provisional
Government is still Oh top prove that?
Bro. Small certainly could not have
meant that part Of the article which re-
ferred to his asking Congress for aid in
carrying out his policy. If it had not
been necessary to use force he had
sufficient authority himself. Through
Out his message he reiterates the state
that the only thing which can be done
which is consistent with American
honor, integrity and morality" is to
restore the queen, and at the close he
says that he would be much gratified to
cooperate in any Legislative plan for
doing that very thing. AS the Pro-
visional Government absolutely refuses
to step down and out without the use of
force and the people Of Hawaii acquiesse
in that decision, what else can he mean
to suggest except the use of force?
AS the Democrat could not posi- bly,
have had reference TO that part OF the
article we are forced, unwillingly, to
the conclusion that it referred to our
statement of our belief that his party in
Congress would not follow him to thai
length and that our opinion in regard
to that was foolish and showed "lack
OF informatiOn.'
Bro. Small's long connection(?) and
high standing with the democratic
party has given him q knowledge OF its
aims and right to speak of it's purposes
which we could not possibly have.
We are willing to admit thata major.
itv of them have cvinced a Willingness
70 allow Cleveland to do all of their
thinking for them, to do his bidding in
everything and to cover under his lash
like whipped ours but we were OF the
impression that there was still to much
manhood left in the democratic party
FOR them eyer to consent to force a
rotten and debauched monarchy upon
free people.
The impression may seem foolish
and show a ''lack of information but
we hope the Democrat will acquit us OF
desire to "wantonly misrepresent.

THREE TOWNS.
Hrbor Vitae set Off.

/ <AEOor vitae Set OH.
We have found out what Lloyd mean
when he said st makes 'em squirm bu
we have not got through with then
yet When Lloyd got oil the train
tuesday noon, some one remarked
there is some dirty work to be done
there comes Lloyd to look after his
members OF the county board" AS a
general thing the two members of the
board from Minocqua are pretty fair
when left to themselves but the people
here have learned to expect dirt from
the county board whenever they see
them come to town accompanied by
Lloyd.
! Rumors Of what was to he done had
| reached us and everyone was aware as
soon as Lloyd stepped from the train
that new town was to be set off and
that Eagle River was going to ''get it
in the neck"
However, no one thought that even
Lloyd and his minnions would be so lost
perpetrate an act of quite SO graf an in
justice as they have done this time.
When the board met Wednesday morn
ing, Lloyd was on hand and stood over
his men to see that there was no funk
ing on their part. The petition to de-
tach towns 80 and 40 of range from
Minocqua and towns 40, Il, AZ. and 43 of
range 8 from Eagle River and
create the town O. Arbor Vitae out of that
territory was read. Mr.. Cook made a
motion that the consideration of the
petition should be postponed until after
noon. But Mr.. Lloyd, who was walk
ing back and forth behind the chairs of
his men, had them we'll in hand and
it only needed perfunctory wink OF
his omnipitant eye to Danish the NOM
entary hesitation and cause the motion
to be voted down, Another wink and
the petition was accepted and the Or
dinance creating the town of Arbor
Vitae was passed.
When the members of the county
board were here last, the matter Was
talked over and all that the MinOcQua
members asked was one township
from Eagle River which OF course was
sa tisfactory tuOur member. Even
the people { + Arbor Vitae only asked
range which as it is heavil y tlmbered
w ould have given them IL good town
and made the division Il fair one and
been satisfactory to us, and drew
their petition in that way.
But this did not suit the almighty
Lloyd and he promptly addedrange 8
and, of course, Lauyhlin and Rodgers
had to echo 8, and s it was. The
present division takes seven town
ships from Eagle River and leaves but
six. Those taken arc for.the most
part covered with pine timber and the
grea ter part OF those remaining are cut
land. There still remains some pine
lands in the north part Of ranges
nine and ten which Lloyd overlooked
! or else did not know OF, that is still left
to us for which we humbly give
! thanks.
Talk about the despotism OF Car OF
| Russia, it is not in it as compared to
| Lloyd's power in the county board
He has only to say do this or do that
and it is done He is the great II
am" the call powerful" to whom all
must bow down and worship. y

We are very much obliged to M
w. Lloyd and his members of the county
board for leaving any territory outside
of the village in the town OF Eagle

ten which they might have taken and
nrobably would if they had only thought
of it.
