4 fearful cyclone passed over parts
of Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska
Tuesday afternoon, between and 3
o'clock. lt struck at Akron and West
field, in Plymouth County, Iowa, at 3
o'clock. At i40 o'clock IL struck at
Page, Neb,, about 100 miles west of the
other places. At Akron the sky became
dark about , O'Clock, so that lamps had
to be lighted. The storm came down
suddenly from the northeast and in a
few minutes Akron was almost in ruins,
The storm covered wide path-the
iron wagon bridge across the Sioux was
torn to pieces, the great iron trusses
being twisted and broken; houses were
unroofed or carried from their founda-
tions and destroyed. The grain elevator
was torn TO pieces, and tho whirlwind
carried its debris across the street, de-
posting 1t whore lumber yard had
been. A good part Of the lumber yard
was left where the elevator had been.
Several cars loaded with stone standing
on Il side track were picked up and ear
rled several rods. Several stone build
ings were partly wrecked and unroofed.
The storm followed the Sioux valley
south to Westfield. Its path was marked
by demolished houses and barns. Two
persons, a man and his Wife, We're killed
at one farmhouse. The names are not
yet known. Several others were badly
injured and many horses and cattle
We're killed. No reports are received Of
any devastation between these places
and Page, Neb., where the storm demol-
ished the Pacific Short Line depot and
several houses, blew cars off the track
and injured q woman and boy. The

Many buildings were wrecked, and
nearly all suffered more or less damage.
1t is known that three lives have been
lost and at least a score OF persons have
been injured.
Meager dispatches received from the
southern part of Kansas state that q
cyclone passed over that part OF the
State, and that the three towns Of
Willis. Everest, and Powhattan were
laid In ruins. Hail broke hundreds of
windows, and, 1t is feared, spoiled pros
poets of a fruit crop this year. Near

TO HEAD OFF CHOLERA.
Inspection of Immigrant by the Chicago
Health Department.


For the last two weeks a strict inspec
tion of every passenger train coming
into Chicago has been made by the city
health department, Officers of the de-
partment have boarded each incoming
train and carefully rutinized all inn
migrants and every other person who
looked suspicious from doctor stand
point. Immigrants who are not vacci-
mated are Immediately made TO undergo
that operation. Every immigrant who
has a blOtch upon his cheek, a bad
breath or O very red nose watches In
apprehension until the inspectors have
passed him. When the immigrants
come in lots of 300 or 300 two inspectors
go out forty or fifty miles, over in In
diana, to meet them, and in order 10
have time to inspect each one thor
oughly.
Health Commissioner DR.. John d.
Ware thinks the system Is very near
perfect, He believes that no cholera
can reach Chicago from Europe. 50 per-
feet are the systems OF inspe 3tion. we
have been inspecting trains for about
half year, said DR.. Ware, but our
new system has been I'm force only for
about two weeks. We have now eight
inspectors under Chief Inspector Dr
II. Is. Wiborg. They are all young
graduates of medical colleges, and
they enjoy the work, although 1t is
hard. The railroads all send US tele-
grams informing us how many immi-
grants each rain will have on board,
and we prepare 70 meet them. The
kilograms always tell US how many
people are coming on the trains, and we
20 out far enough so that we can handle
all of them. When we board train
We Immediately look out for the immi-
grants. We make them all show their
New York quarantine certificates.
These certificates are made out by the
Government surgeons at Ellis island,
and state that the bearer has been ex-
amincd and found free from contagious
diseases, and also that he has been vac-
cinated. You see, all the immigrants
are now vacclnaied on the boats when
they come over. Their baggage is
thoroughly fumigateI and dlsinieeted
AZ Ellis island, 80 we don have 20 look
after %. Tho certificates show The
namo OF the bearer and bis destination.

BIG BOATS DAMAGED.
Huge Wave Causes Great Havoc In the
Chicago River.

Huge Wave Causes Great Havoc In the
Chicago River.
Old Michigan lifted his foamy crest Fri
day morning and for an hour or more rolled
and tossed several big vessels in the river
near its mouth. Great waves lifted bulky
ships as If they were bits of cork. Seven
inch hawsers snapped like pipestems; stout
timbers were crushed and battered in, and
the mighty water had rare sport with the
valuable property of the marine merchants
until, tiring Of its playfulness, it crept
back again into the big bosom of the lake
and showed its head no more.
AS a result the river near the pier
heads was busy all day with fretting
tugs, men at pumps, salvage helpers, and
overseers and appraisers OF all sorts and
conditions, and at least three grain vessels
are much the worse for the matinee. 1t
was about three o'clock in the morning
when a great wave swept In from the lake
and bore up the river. 1t was four feet
high and in its passage up the stream it
raised a high tide which tore huge steam
ers from their moorincs and which, on its
ebb, carried them drifting back into the
lake 1t cleaned the river out, so to speak.
A few vessels escaped unhurt They we're
not damaged because their shippers were
men with big heads-men who had sailed
salt water In their day, and knew trick
or Two worth telling.

WILD WORK OF WINDS,

PIate-Glass Windows.
Ten thousand furies swept down from
the skies at sunset Friday evening in Chi
cago, and when the rush, rattle, and roar
Of the southwest wind had ceased q square
mile of the South side looked like u cy-
clone-swept section Of Kansas town.
The ground was strewn with hailstones as
big as biscuits. trees we're twisted and
yanked from the ground, bill-boards piled
into heaps of kindling wood, countless
window lights shattered, and the
streets flied with terror-s stricken peo-
pie. Little children were caught at
play and driven to the ground by
the bowling gale and storm Of ice, and
in three Instances fell victims under the
hoofs of maddened horses Terrific at
first, the hurricane gained velocity with
each second. and with the growing speed
the fall of ice increased until it was i'm
possible to see the distance of the streets
width. Harder and harder it pelted and
louder and louder it roared until the air
became filed with flying boards and bits OF
branches, and the frightened householders
expected each blast 10 be their doom.
Plate glass windows went in with tre-
mendous crash. the street cars held crowds
of budding passengers as the stones
smashed through the windows and there
was not an unscared sonl in the district.
No one was killed, but over 100000 dam
age was done

The Small Fry MIXED by the Chicago Ex-
perts.
May wheat bounced up 3 cents Tues
day in Chicago, and then dropped BACK
cents. July advanced % and de-
clined cent. The government report
t77.A Is the lowest April condition with
one exception since 1885. Cables were
exceedingly strong, spot red winter
wheat being up 2ld. in Liverpool, equal
to cents a bushel over night. Coun-
selman Il Day and Lester bid the May
price up, evidently making or trying to
make the pace rather hot for Pard-
ridge or other sports. The decline
was on the idea that May bulls were
free sellers of July taken on during the
past few days at a lower price. Corn
opened steady, but eased off later in
sympathy with wheat and oats. May
started cent higher, at 4ls cents, and
declined TO 40l 10 II cents. Oats were
weak, with big trade in progress. The
rains eased the anxiety about the oats
crop and there was q feeling that n
great deal Of land powed up for wheat
will % into oats because OF tho failure
Of wheat The decline amounted to |
cent from last nights figures. Pro-
visions were easier on the liberal re-
celpts Of hogs.

sideration to the suggestion that the great
naval review should terminate in the figure
of an intern ational salute before the tomb of
General Grant at Riverside Park, so that 1T
should close in much the same manner as
the Columbian parade last October The
Secretary, however, doubts its practicable
ity. He accepts the views of experienced
naval officers that it would be dangerous
undertaking for so many vessels to attempt
putting the plan in execution with so little
water around them. He has. however, con-
sented to have the flagship Philadelphia
fire salute. The feet will not be anchored
in q line that will extend as far back as the
park, but after the ceremonies attending
the Presidents passage through the feet
the Philadelphia will proceed up the river
alone and fire a national salute before the
