slxTY-THREE PEOPLE DEAD
Two Hundred and Eight Resi-

PoMERoY, Iowa, July 8 Forty.
four is now the number of the dead
at Pomeroy. 1t is one of the sad
dest scenes ever witnessed, and even
the strongest are compelled to turn
away from some of the sights at the
city hall hospital, where the worst
of the one hundred and eight in
jured now are. Every dwelling
now standing can be we'll termed
hospital, as all have been thrown
wide open, and from two to eight
wounded are being kept in each.
The governor is now on the grounds
and doing all in his power to allay
the sufferings of the unfortunate
people. Ten physicians are all that
are here today and calls cannot be
promptly answered. Neighboring
cities aud towns are proving nurses
literally, but more are needed.
Of the injured from twelve to
twenty more will die. Reports
are being hourly received from the
rural districts. 1t seems that the
storm started about one mile west
of Cherokee and followed closely
the Illinois Central railroad, cut
ting a swath from one.fourth to
one.half mile wide and completely
demolished everything in its path
for distance of sixty miles.
The total deaths from the storm
thus far heard from reach sixty.
three. The work of burying the
dead has commenced. Seventeen
we're laid away late yesterday after
noon, and today twenty more will
be buried. A number CT bodies
have been shipped away. The
scenes are heartrending, as rela-
tives from distance come to gaze
into the faces of their dead.
Two hundred and eight residences
were swept off the face of the earth,
and not a board left. Hardly a
residence remains untouched, and
the business portion of Pomeroy is
80 badly wrecked that it can be said
with truth that Pomeroy is no
more.
The dead carcasses of horses,
cattle and swine are being cleared
up from the rubbish today and
buried.
G. O. Guards of Fort Dodge, as.
sisted by companies from Storm
Lake and Perry, are on guard night
and day.
1t seems that as many fatalities
resulted from going into cellars as
those who stayed above ground.
The seven churches of the CITY
are all demolished and no services
will be held tomorrow. All is sad
ness and gloom.
The total amount of damage done
by the cyclone in the state is con.
servatively estim sted at 100000

BLUNT EDITOR STEAD
Not Likely to Be Again Invited 10 Address
Women Of Chicago.

CHICAGO. Dec. Is. - Editor W. Stead
created sensation at the joint meeting of
the women's clubs of this city yesterday
afternoon. The meeting was called To
confer upon plans to aid the suffering
poor women and children of the city
The hall was filled with representatives of
all the leading women's clubs in the city.
Mr. Stead, who had been invited to ad-
dress the meeting, said he chiefly wei
coined the opportunity because sitting
side by side with those active workers be-
fore him were sor.e Of themost disreputa-
bic people in Chicago. Nothing was more
obnoxious to any one who paid any atten-
ton TO the teaching of the gospel taan
the fact that the conventional Judgment
about the reputable and disreputable was
quite foreign to the Christian ideal.
Who were the most disreputable
women in Chicago: They were those
who had been lowered by society and
providence with all the gifts and all the
opportunities and who lived entirely self
indulgent. These women who bad
great opportunities only to neglect them
were more disreputable in the eyes of God
and man than the most abandoned
women of the streets
Mr.. Stead's actual language was some
thing stronger than that quoted above.
After his speech. he retired from the
meeting, and the women went into execu-
tive session in a discussion of his remarks,
excluding the pr SIS representatives.
After the meeting many of the women
declared that under no circumstances
could they again attend meeting at
which the Englishman was present.
