DEADLY TORNADO.
NEARLY PEOPLE KILLED BY
a CYCLONE.
Minnesota and Iowa Visited 10y Heavy
Storm which Carried Death aud Des-
Japs to Attack Pekln.

st. Paul: A narrow strip OF country
200 miles long was laid waste by u
hurricane which in many places devel-
oped into regular cyclone. In the
path of the "twister' are ruined
towns, devastated farms and several
hundred dead and injured people.
Starting about ten miles south of
Spencer, in northwestern Iowa, the
storm swept across the state just
north of Emmettsburg and Algona,
wiping out the little town of Cylinder
and damaging Burt, Britt, Forest City
and Manly. After passing by Mason
City and running the country north
west of Usage. it bore off TO the north
east, crossing the Minnesota line, and
wrecked the little town of Leroy.
where bad fire added TO the destruc-
tion. Spring Valley was right in the
path of the cyclone and suffered
severely. The little towns Of Homer
and Lowther were badly damaged.
After crossing the Mississippi and do
ing considerable damage to farm build
ings near Marshland, Wis, the storm
seemed to have spent its force. A
smaller storm did some damage at
Dodge Center, which was not in the
path of the main cyclone.
The path of the storm was not wide,
but it had all the characteristics of the
deadly tornado and the dimensions of
a cyclone. Just how many lives have
been lost is uncertain, but in Iowa
Mason City reports II dead in that
vicinity; Britt, 10; Algona, 90; Usage, 3.
In Minnesota Spring Valley and vicin-
ity reports 3 dead, and Leroy, 6. This
does not include the fatally injured,
and it is believed that other fatalities
occurred in the more remote country
districts.
Although the storms path was mar
row it is estimated that $500, OO0
damage was incurred to property.

ohio pemoerats In Conventlon.

The Democratic state convention OF
Ohio was held at Columbus, with Hon.
Frank Hurd, of Toledo, as chairman.
Mr.. Hurd praised the advance made by
the present administration toward free
trade, and predicted an era of Demo
cratic prosperity. The platform de-
clares that the Mckinley law caused
the business depression, reduced the
revenue and led TO the necessity for
issuing more gov ernment bonds. "We
dissent" says one plank, 'from the
presidents views, construction and
treatment of the silver question, and
favor the unlimited free coinage of
silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1 aud
with equal legal tender power" The
platform denounces the last general
assembly of Ohio, Gov. McKinleys
administration and the A. L. A. It
favors liberal pensions, n corrupt
practices" law, limiting amount of
money TO be expended by candidates
and law prohibiting free passes. A
majority of the committee on platform
admitted TO adding to that document
a proposal to elect United States SEN
ators by the people. This was regarded
as a clear thrust at Senator Brice, and
it was only after very hot fight that
it was adopted; 467 TO 32s.
The following ticket was nominated:
Secretary of state, Milton Turner, of
Guernsey; Judge of the supreme court,
James ID. Ermiston, of Hamilton;

The whisky Trust win right.

Chicago: The whisky trust is in
earnest. 1t has made the first move
toward contesting the legality of the
section of the new tariff law which
increases the tax on spirits from 90
cents TO S1.1O per gallon. There was
filed in the Office of Collector Mize a
protest against the new law. The
protest is not against the increase in
the tax, but against the increased
bonds which the distillers are COM
PEELED to give TO secure the payment
of the tax on the spirits bonded before
the new law went into effect.
