cyclone indicate the loss OF life will be
in the neighborhood of rs. The injured
will number several times as many and
some OF those hurt are expected to die.
1t is not unlikely the list of dead will
number 100. The property loss is heavy
and it is almost impossi BILE at this time
tofobtain anything more than a rough
climate of the damage. The storm orig
mated near Emmettburg, Iowa, and
passed east and north, finally passing in
to Wisconsin. No reports of serious dam
ages are received from this section as
fury of the elements seem to have been
spent with the detruction of Spring val
ley. There are four persons dead and
some severely hurt, while the property
loss is estim ated at SS5, 600, the residenc ice
portion of the town lying directly in the
path of the cyclone.
Five miles north of Usage, Iowa, six
persons were killed and a large number
hurt. The destruction of farm property
there is great, and no estimate of tue
oss is made.
At Lowther, about 100 miles south
three persons were fatally hurt, and the
whole country for miles around is laid
in ruins. The loss in this vicinity is
probably 100000 Four persons were
killed outright and large
mum ber fatally hurt, while all build
ings struck are total wrecks. The loss
is in the neighborhood of $50, 900. West
OF Mason City, near Britt, two persons
were killed outright mile north of this
town half dozen lost their lives. Nine
teen funerals were held at Agona today.
North of Emmettsburg two lives were
crushed out. H ere the storm went tear
ing across the country, demolishing ev-
everything in it's path. For the most part
of the course it travelled through the
farming districts of Leroy and Spring
Valley being the only two towns of any
consequence damaged. Even here the
deaths are comparatively few. The fact
that the storm tore through the portion
of Spring Valley and the greater portion
Of the residents were not aware of its
work of destruction until the fire bells
were rung, shows what a narrow strip
of country was swept. 1he property
loss is largely confined to farm bull
dings, and the loss is at least 81 10000, 600.

CAPTAIN DEERING POPS.
There is Now No Doubt that He Has Been
Shining Up to the Custom House-Appli-
cation Made at Washington.

The news was brought yesterday from
Washington, by way of the Boston Her
aid, that John W. Deering of Portland,
Me-, has made application for appoint
ment as collector of customs at Portland
This is news, but not unexpected news
as it has been conceded all along that
Captain behring's run for Congress
might be only prelude to candidacy
for the custom house. The leading can
didates already in the field are Hon. M.
P. Frank, Hon. William Henry Clifford,
General Samuel j Anderson and Colonel
John M. Adams. 1t has been re-
garded as pretty sure all along that Mr..
Farnk would get the plum, as he has
the en- dorsement of the lnvincible Plum
Trust. He endeared himself to the reg
ular Democracy by the patient way he
endured the famous defeat of 1892, when
as candidate for Congress in this dis
trict he was buried under the then phe-
nomenal plurality of over 1900.
But now comes Captain Deering with
the distinction of burial under pIurali-
ty of more than $500, and asks for the
plum. Why shouldn't he have it?
The commission of the present collect
or is dated Ocober 1st. 1880, and he took
the oath of off ce October 20, of that
