them.

TEN LIVES LOST
In and Around L. Roy and Spring vallsys
------ MINI. #aksNs4N !. ~

In and Around L. Roy and Spring vallsys
AUSTIN, Mimi, Sept IA cyclone,
followed by heavy fall Of rain, passed
through the east part OF this county
Friday night, destroying the lives of 10
persons and considerable portion Of
the villages of Lie Roy and Spring Val
10y. The storm came up from the
southwest, and with hardly q moments
warning the village Of LIE Roy found
itself in the center of a terrific storm.
A dancing party was in progress at
the opera house, where quite number
of people were congregated. The build
ing was entirely destroyed and three
young men killed and quite number
were more or less seriously injured.
From LIE Roy the storm pursued an
easterly course, destroying all farm
property, grain and hay, in its path
until it reached the village Of Spring
Valley, in Fillmore county. From there
the report of the loss of life is consider
able. Seven persons are known to have
been killed, and it is feared that when
the debris is cleared away the list OF
dead will be found to be much larger.

OPENED BY M'KINLBY.
The Republican Campaign In Indiana
Given a Send-0ff by the Ohio
Governor.
THE TARIFF HIS THEME.
T0m}ins0n Hall Was Packed to Suf-
; Northumberland by Ex-
President Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 26.-The formal
tiles of opening the Republican cam
paign in Indiana. were gone through
with here during the day. Upon Gov
ernor Mckinley Of Ohio devolved the
duty of making the declaration Of war
upon the intrenched Democracy of
Hoosierdom, and he discharged it as
courageously and defiantly as he was
wont in other days to carry battles into
Southern fields. The occasion was given
added consequence by the presence of
Harrison, who, in a TO-
minute speech of introduction, presented
Ohio's governor to the thousands that
packed Tomlinson's hall to the walls.
A large crowd Of enthusiasts it was
that faced the two famous leaders of
the Republican party, compressed and
therefore complaining, but intent and
and most cordially respon-
sive.
Complimented Harrison.
Gov. McKinly opened with eulogistic
reference to the administration Of Presi-
dent Harrison, under which the country
had prospered as it had never prospered
before or since. More manufactures
made by American workingmen; more
of the products Of American farms were
sent out to the world during President
Harrison's administration than were
ever before sent away in exchange for
foreign gold, or have since been ex-
ported. Men found employment with
out difficulty, and wages were good.
Peace and prosperity were in the land.
Since that day in November, 1892, when
President Harrison and the Republican
party were voted out of the administra-
tive and executive Offices of the national
government, a change has occurred.
Every one of the conditions then exist
ing has been altered and the nation has
learned by bitter experience a lesson
in the
Practical Application Of Politics,
which the people have had an album
dance of time to ponder, for they have
not had much else to do. As an evi.
dence that the people are not satisfied,
a comparison was made between the
election returns of 1899 and those Of
most recent GATE, instances being given
of Republican gains which Governor
Mckinley said was indisputable proof
that there was not only general regret
that change Of administration had

Reach Twelve or Fifteen.
FOREST CITY, Ia, Sept. 25.-The loss

reach IL or Is, and the number Of i'll
jured twice that number. The loss Of
property is also heavy. Buffalo and
Eden townships, in Winnebago county,
and Ellington and Madison townships,
in Hancock county, seem to have suf-

lington two. Reports are very meager,
as most of the casualties are in the out

.DIAz WOULD ASSIST.
Said the Mexican President Is Desir-
GUS Of Establishing the Central
American Republic. ST..
WOULD STOP REVOLUTIONS
And Give the Stability Necessary Fol
Prosperity---The Scheme of
General Ezeta.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-The inter.
est of President Diaz Of Mexico, in
Ezeta, is said to be due to Mexico's de.
sire for the formation of q general re-
public Of Central American countries,
believing that it will end the revolu'
lions which injure commerce and re.
tard development.
Ezeta intends to get aid from the
Mexican government to regain his pres
tige in San Salvador, said Colonel Glen.
fuegos. who talked about the matter.
"Most of his old soldiers will turn to
his standard, for he is confident that he
can overthrow his enemies. A revolu.
ton in San Salvador is always welcome
and the general will go well prepared
and when he enters San Salvador, he
will be at the head of troops enough to
force his way as he desires.
Diaz WIN Give Support.
eyes, President Diaz of Mexico will
support Ezeta as far as he can, and
there is no doubt that all the circum-
stances are in his favor. The people Of
Mexico thoroughly understand the San
Salvador affair, and they believe in the
cause of Ezeta.
IF the general succeeds in this cam
paign (which he proposes to carry on
vigorously, Immediately after his arri-
val in Mexico) the result will probably
be the organization of one common re-
public of all the Central American
states. That plan has been under con-
sideration for long time, and all the
governments except Guatemala are
favorable to it. Unfortunately Guate-
mala stands in the way, geographically
as we'll as politically, and nothing can
be done without her consent. Ezeta,
however, is confident that even Guate-
mala will accede to the proposition, and
that the result will be strong and
prosperous republic. -
Might Trump Up Charges.
Attorney Charles Page, in discussing
Ezetas sudden departure for Mexico,
said:
"We advised General Ezeta to leave
at once, chiefly because of danger Of
other charges being brought against
him. At first he said he would not go;
that he liked San Francisco and wanted
to stay here"
Judge Morrow had felt that he must
take cognizance Of some of the evidence,
as in the Cienfuegos case, it having
come from another country. At the
same time had it been in regard to q
case that occurred here, it would, from
the nature of the imperfections, have
been thrown out. An agriculturist and
bricklayer testified, it will be remem-
bered. Well they could get lots
of just such evidence. It is fixed
up and the officials then say "Sign"
and they sign quick enough for if they
did not they would be shot. The dan
ger was that they would, getting the
cue from the Cienfuegos case, go back
before the revolution, and trump up
cases against Ezeta. He was the man
they wanted to hold. They did not
care for the others particularly. So in
view of this danger, we had to insist
that he get out and go over into Mexico.
Oh, yes, expect he will proceed to
overturn things. but whether Mexico is
going to help him, cannot say. He is
an active man and you cannot keep
him uuiet"

Total Death LIST Likely to Reach the

MASON CITY, Ia, Sept. 24.-The cy'
clone which swept over Northeastern
Iowa Friday night caused the loss of at
least go lives and the death list will no
doubt reach 100.
A large number of people were in.
iured, some fatally, while the destruc'
ton of property was enormous.
The storm started near Emmetsburg
and travelled in a northeasterly direc-
ton, crossing the Minnesota line near
lie Roy.
The path of the storm lay IL miles
north of this city. -Four persons were
battered to death by falling timbers,
and nine injured and not expected to
live. At the farm of David Haddow,
the house was lifted in the air over q
grove of trees, landed in cornfeld,

He still lives. At the farm of D. E.
McKercher, three miles west of Man
ley, the premises are all a mass of ruins,
his 12-year-old son was killed and also
his hired man, Louis Gravgaald. The
father, mother and two children are
badly injured. A lady seamstress,
Maggie Baker, had piece of wood so
driven into her leg that three men
could hardly extract it. She was also
struck on the lungs and will probably
die. Those who took refuge in cellars
were saved. Pieces of timber were car
ried for miles. All buildings struck
are total wrecks. The loss will exceed
$4,000. Medical aid was at hand and
the sufferers are having the best OF

Many Fatalities Elsewhere.

Professor A. j. Lilly of the Northern
Iowa normal school came in from Gar

township, north of Garner, ~ near
Manly Junction and IL north of Britt.
Collins for the dead are piled up at
every station and scenes of the widest
grief are enacted. The storm, as wit
messed from this place, was one of in
describable grandeur. Funnel-shaped
clouds of inky blackness swept along to
the northeast, illuminated by almost
continuous flashes of lightning. The
roar of thunder was deep and continu-
Gus. The opera house was packed with
people to witness popular play and
almost panic was occasioned by
The War of the Elements.
Robert Stevenson, living four miles
north of Whittemore, was the first VIC
tim. His grove looked like it was
moved down by scythe. Calvin Bar
rick's house, on the Henry Durant
place, was made into kindling wood in
an instant and all the IA occupants, ex-
cept two children, were injured. Mrs.
Barrick was hit in the back with tim
Der and her spine was so injured that
her body and lower limbs are paralyzed.
A 6-year-old boy, Charles Lee, was hit
on the head and will die. The house Of
Fred Pompe was completely demolished
but his wife and five children came out
OF the wreck unhurt. The force Of the
wind was such that barbed wire

At George Holman's the roof of the

was carried up from between the walls
and away about 80 rods, one of the
children being killed. NJ. w. Fer
guson's family was carried some dist
ance through the air and all but, one
of them landed in willow hedge. The
baby went a little farther and was
found seated on piece Of roof. The
wife Of Swan Peterson had her skull
cut open in two places and the exposed
parts of her head were literally packed
with sand, plaster, hair and grass. Par
