D~ESOLATION AT AKRON.
A Prosperous Iowa Town Devastated by
Wind.

The town of Akron, Iowa, on the
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railway, thirty miles north Of
Omaha, which has a population OF
about 10000 persons, was devastated
by a cyclone.
Shortly after 2 O'Clock it com
menced to grow dark and in a half
hour il was necessary TO have artificial
light. About 3 o'clock the storm
struck the place. 1t vas a regular
whirlwind, and came from the north
east. Houses were torn from their
foundations and overturned and
many OF them blown to pieces. A
double span wagon bridge across the
Sioux river was wrenched from the
piers and washed up against the
river bank. The iron rods were
twisted and bent out of shape. A
large elevator was demolished ana
the debris carried across the railroad
tracks and deposited on the site of
lumber yard, while the lumber yard
and buildings were carried back and
deposited where the elevator stood.
Cars loaded with stone that were
standing on the railroad tracks were
picked up by the wind and turned
completely over. Nearly every build
ing in the town was more or less
damaged.
Several were killed and injured, but
it is impossible now to obtain definite
details. The estimated property loss
in Akron is $50. 600.
The storm swept through the conn-
try TO Westford, S. D., and leveled
many farm houses and buildings

names unknown, were killed. me

A large number Of miners were at
work at the time, and the explosion
caused terrible havoc. The exact
number CT lives lost is not known. but
it is reported that 20 persons were
killed and many others were more or
less seriously injured. Later accounts
show the situation TO be more appall-
ing than at first supposed. Three
hundred miners are entombed in the
mine.

Don't Forget This.

New York Sun: The personal
popularity Of William Mckinley III
Ohio is without precedent in that
state, and almost without parallel
elsewhere. He seems to grow stronger
with the voters every year. HIS
denomination for governor by ac-
clamation is now conceded, and ILLS
believed that he will have from 30,ooV
TO 10000 majority. There is a dearth
of democratic opponents willing 10
take the nomination against him.
Mckinley, like Randall and other
popular advocates Of the protective
system, is a poor man, Though lus
opponents declare that protection IL
a device to enrich the few at the
expense OF the many. These oppo-
nents are, for the most part, ricn
men, made oppulent by fees, franchises
inheritances, or foreign investments
However all that may be, the demo-
cratic party is pledged TO blot the
protective system out, and the demo-
cratic party Is the party which keeps
its pledges. Don't forget that.
