Distressing State of Affairs
Discovered by a Relief
Committee.

HINCKLEY, Mimi, Sept. 3.-Over 800
people dead, five towns blotted from the
face of the earth, and over So, 900, 0O0
worth of property destroyed-this is the
record of the fire fiend of the pine forest
between noon and midnight Saturday
in the counties of Pine, Mile Laos and
Chisago. The catastrophe is the most
frightful that ever visited Minnesota.
The cyclones of St. Cloud, Rochester
and New Ulm were awful at the cost of
human life and property, but they were
pigmy accidents alongside the terrible
holocaust which has swept this fair
town and miles on miles of country
north, south, east and west of it. 1t all
came SO suddenly, too, that it bereft the
people by the score of their reason, and
they plunged like maddened cattle into
The Forest Inferno of ~Seething Flames.
When the sun went down but two
buildings were left standing In Hinck-
ley-a water tank and a roundhouse-
and into the latter were crowded $50
people, all that were then known to be
alive of the 1900 people who have made
this place their home. The dead are
lying in field and forest for miles north
and south of Hinckley, and there are so
few left to tell the tale that it is almost
impossible to secure names of the dead.
Dozens of heartrending stories are told
of escape and attempts at escape which
ended in death.

THE Democratic press claims Una
the Republicans are opposed TO re-
turn of good times. No class VIII
more gladly welcome the return ol
good times than the Republicans. But
the whines of Democracy will not
scare the Republicans out OF fully II
freely discussing the merits ana oe-
merits of Democracy's sugar tfusI
tariff bill, and placing the response
bility for the same right where II be-
longs. BY the way, speaking OF the
revival of business, one of the greatest
hindrances to permanent prosperity is
the reiteration on every occasion pos
sible of the Democratic leaders OF the
Cleyeland-Wilson stripe, that the
tariff battle will be renewed al the
first opportunity and duties stlll
farther reduced.

Trains May Be Abandoned on the Superior
Division.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. AT the bcA
offices of the st. Paul road it was ~
ported from points on the Superior di-
vision hat there was great danger to
the tracks from the forest fires and
trains may have to be abandoned. 1t
appeared at that time that the confag-
ration was worse along that line than
upon the Wisconsin Central. Traffic
had continued without serious inter-
ruption, but Sunday night, between
Charming and Rockford, in Ontonagon
county, Michigan, the fires were work
ing toward the tracks on both sides and
were being fought back with difficulty.
Section men had been stationed at all
the bridges and ~culverts, prepared with
appliances to prevent them from burn
ing in case they took fire. Washburn,
it was learned, was in imminent peril,
though it had thus far escaped. Infor-
nation along the ST. Paul-Superior di-
vision was meagre, because the wires
were down.

A Relief Committee Finds a Distressing
State of Affairs.
PINE CITY, Mimi, Sept. 3.-The re-
lief committee returned from Hinckley
at II p. NJ, and reported that 200 bodies
had been found at that place and 46 at
Sandstone. There are still a number of
unexplored parts of the place, and it is
thought other bodies will be found. A
conductor ON the Eastern Minnesota
road reports that the condition at Sand
stone is even worse than at Hinckley.
There are 200 people burned i'll
there, and they are digging up
potatoes and carrots and eating them.
They are also destitute of cloth
ing. The relief committee will go as
near Sandstone as they can by train in
the morning, and will then take teams
with provisions and blankets for the
people. There will also be provision
made for burying the dead there. The
st. Paul relief committee left it's sup
plies here under charge of the detail of
troops, and it will be apportioned
among the needy by the general COM
mittee. Other supplies will be taken in
charge as they are Sent in. The work
of caring for the destitute will be car
ried on as long as there is need for
relief.

THE ReuieD comes out flat footeo
as opposed to the holding OF any am
ateur bicycle races, horse races or
ball games at the city park to Whlch
an admission fee is charged. we are
glad that our neighbor has gore on
record on this matter, as it VIII DE IN
teresting for a very large and respec-
table class of our citizens to know
that any paper can be found SO far be-
hind the times as to take such d
stand. By a species OF mental gym
nastics it succeeds in persuadlng III
self that while it is highly improper
and unlawful to charge for a irst-claSS
bicycle race at the park, it is right
and lawful for the city to allow an
admission to be charged for dances
held in the city hall, a building made
for the free access OF the people just
as much as the parks A good many
of our citizens would never see n
beautiful city park were there not
some healthful entertainment TO at
tract them there, like a race meet or
ball game or similar contests or skill
and muscle, and they are perfectly
willing to pay a small fee to meet n
expenses of these games. There are
very few who are so small as to feel
badly because they are asked to pay
for their entertainment. The GOOD
people of Mankato are constructed on
a broader principle than the ReOaew
gives them credit for. The FREE
PRESS wants the firemen and militia
to have the privilege of charging for
their dances in the city hall, ana IL
wants the bicycle riders, local horse
owners, and base ball enthusiasts TO
have the privilege of charging Tor
their occasional entertainments at n
park, and in this it feels sure that
the people of Mankato join. Out OF
door sports are coming more and
more into vogue, and they are every
where being encouraged among intel
ligent and progressive people. 1t is
a common thing for a portion of a
city park to be reserved for this
purpose, where admission can be
charged.
