MISUNDERSTANDING Losses.
DULUTH, Mum, Sept. 7.-There are
over 1000 destitute refugees from the
Hinckleysa and Sandstone fires now in
Duluth and it sis expected that
there will be buta few more to come.
over SO, 900 has been raised for their
relief. and food, clothing and lum-
Der are being donated literally.
Cloquet, Two Harbors and other sur
rounding towns are sending supplies.
Some are returning to their burned
homes, leaving wives and families in
charge of the relief society or sending
them to friends and relatives.
n Oneaof the sad fea tnres ii the suffer.
ing on the scene of the catastrophe is
the large numbers of cows, horses,
sheep and hogs as well as fowls that
miraculously escaped the fires and are
now suffering and slowly dying from

able losses almost tax credulity. In

Dynamite to BE Exploded in Stone Lake.
A Mysterious Wagon.
CAssoPoLIs, Mich, Sept. 10.-Dyna-
mite is to be exploded in Stone lake in
the search for the body of DR.. A. 3.
Conklin, who disappeared so mysteri-
ously from this village week ago.
The case resembles that of DR.. Cronin
very much, DR.. Conklin having been
called out, ostensibly to attend pa
tient He has been missing ever since
that time. It is the belief that the
doctor was lured away and killed in
order to prevent his appearance as q
witness for the prosecution in mur-
der trial.
The latest theory, and one which
seems supported by evidence, is that
he was carried to the shore of the
lake in box and placed upon a wagon
in charge of two unknown men and
that there was a struggle and outcries,
after which the strange wagon drove
rapidly away northward.
Everything that can possibly be con-
nected with it in any way is being in
vestigated, but so far with no success.
Some wild stories are aaoat, but upon
being run down they result in nothing.
A.reward of $4,000 has been offered for
the. discovery of the doctor dead or
alive, and the search is being pushed
vigorously. The fraternities of which
the doctor was member are urging
the. matter. Mrs. Conklin, though
Frustrated, still entertains hope that

LOST AT SEA.
Gale Sweeps the Baltic with Fatal and
Disastrous Eject.

Disastrous Eject.
LONDON, Sept. A dispatch from
Helsingfor, capital of Finland, tells the
story of dreadful sufferings expert
enced few days ago by men en-
ployed in the Baltic fisheries.
The fishing feet was all at sea
when terrific gale arose, forcing the
boats to run for shelter. Some of
them reached harbors of refuge and
there rode out the storm. Eight Of
them, however, lost their bearings and
ran on the Noerpes islands, where the
tremendous seas soon pounded them
to pieces. The islands are principally
desolate rocks. AS the seas swept
over the wrecked fishing boats
before the latter broke up they
carried away fifteen fishermen,
whose bodies were never afterward
seen. Those left on the boats knew
their vessels were doomed and made
what few preparations were possible
to get ashore. There seemed to be
only one chance in a hundred of their
reaching place of safety, but this
chance they took and landed on one
of the islands, almost completely ex-
hausted. For three days the storm
ragged with unabated fury, and
the men, who were without food, were
exposed to its full force. At the
end of three days passing vessel was
sighted and in response to the fisher
mems signals ran in under the lee of
the island and sent boats to take off
the shipwrecked men. In the mean
time two of the fishermen had sue
cumbed, and their bodies were left on
the island. The rescued were in pit
liable condition. Several of them were
unconscious when found, and it is
feared some of them will die.

Near Huntley, ILL.,, the storm was in the
nature of cyclone. A path miles in
width was swept by the wind and
many barns and windmills were leveled
to the ground. Great fields of corn
were leveled to the earth as though by
a roller. Farmers turned their
cattle from the stables and
thus saved hundreds of head of stock.
On the Schroeder farm the barn, was
wrecked and ten head of horses were
found in the fields attached to frag-
ments of the hangers which

WOKE HIM UP At LAST,
How Sleeping Telegraph Operator Wa

How Sleeping Telegraph Operator Wa
Aroused to Duty.
There is good story about tele-
graph operator who once worked the
land wires In the Duxbury cable Office
going to sleep one night and message
having to be sent six or seven thou
sand miles to wake him up. The oper-
ator is now practicing physician in
Cambridge, Mass, but before annexing
M. D. to his name was one of the gilt
edge telegraphers of the country, says
q writer In Donahoe's Magazine.
One night while on duty in the Dux-
bury Office he fell asleep at his key.
The sleep was sound one The New
York operator called till out OF
patience, when he sent message to
Boston requesting the chief operator
in charge to tell Duxbury to answer
New York. The sleeper, however, was
as deaf to Boston's .'Di, Dr." as to the
impatient characters flashed on from
New York.
In the cableroom next the sleeping
operator was the cable artist. The
room was dark and he was watching
the mirror for the tiny sparks that in
those days went to make up message.
To him the Morse alphabet was all
Greek, so the sleeper slept on.
Seeing no other way out of the
muddle and thinking the operator
asleep, New York called Canso in Nova
Scotia and addressed message to the
cable operator at Duxbury. The mes
sage read:
go into the other room and wake up
that operator"
{ Canso sent it to Hearts Content in
| Newfoundland; Hearts Content
rushed 1t across the deep to Valentia.i
From there it went to London, thence
TO Dover, and across the channel to
Calais and to Brest. Brest kept it.

unique surprise. The sleeper was then
aroused, about eleven minutes having
been taken by the grand round Of the

ters by telling New York he was out
OF adjustment. The story didn't I'M
