ABSOLUTELY PURE

United States. Its aims and its purposes,
and its principles are nearer and dearer to
republicans than ever before, and nearer
and dearer to the great masses of our coun-
trymen than they ever have been in the
past, and they never deserved the support
of the press more than now. In this great
national contest you will have very much to
do with the result, and 1 am sure the edit
ors of the state of Michigan-the republl-
can editors-can be counted upon to give to
these great principles of our party their
best efforts this year, as they have already
done in the past. 1t has given both Mrs.
Mckinley and myself genuine pleasure to
have you in our home. We bid you all
welcome.
Mr.. Mckinley bade the party good bye
individually. thanking them for their call
and coming to the yard waved farewell.
The next president is pleasant and evil
IDENTIFY whole-souled man, not egotistical
but one who as president will serve as he
did in congress, not for brilliancy and per-
sonal credit, but for the good of the people
as he sees it. His tender devotion to his
wife through her years of suffering shows
him to be man of the highest sensibilities
and true Christian gentleman.
While in Canton the party met II. II.
Kohlsaat, proprietor of the Chicago Times
Herald, the leading paper of the west, who
is known to thousands of Michigan people,
having for years been the owner of the
Chicago Inter Ocean. He will be one of the
influential men of the government if Major
Mckinley becomes president, and he is en-
titled to be an adviser of president, being
one of the brightest editors and deepest
thinkers of the country.

paign of victory that is expected.

OHIO HAS A CYCLONE.
Two Men Instantly killed-Scores of
Houses and Barns Demolished.

Houses and Barns Demolished.
A cyclone which proved fatal to two
persOns and which did damage amounting
to many thousands of dollars passed
acroS Sandusky County, Ohio, Monday
afternoon. 1t was just o'clock when a
big, black, whirling cloud was seen in the
southwest approaching at a fearful speed
and apparently headed for the heart Of
Fremont. People on the streets cried out
to each other In fear and ran in search Of
q Place Of refuge. In Eve minutes the
CLOUD had gone on its way, passing close
to the city's western outskirts and disap-
peanng in the distance. In its wake was
q path Of desolation, ruin and death.
William l. Greene, together with his
son James, and the latter's family, occu-
pied a large frame residence on q farm
directly in the path Of the storm. The
house was crushed, w. L. Greene was
killed outright and his mangled remains
carried some distance from the site Of the
building.
Mrs. James Greene was badly injured
and will probably not recover. Her in
fant child was peacefully sleeping in q
cradle when the house was struck. The
cradle and its occupant were picked up
like feather and carried quite distance
il an adjoining field. When discovered
The cradle was smashed, but the babe was
unharmed.
At the farm of Amos Hetrick John
Low and Hetriek We're shearing sheep in
q barn. The barn was leyeled to the
ground. Low was blown out Of the barn
across q forty-acre field against tree
and instantly killed. Hetrick escaped
with light injuries. A young child of
Charles fuckers was badly injured by
fling pieces of timber Abraham Fought,
farmer, was struck and an arm and leg
we're broken. Ruins, scattered far and
vide, are all that are now left Of what
we're few hours ago many ideal ceuatry
houses and farms.
At Muscalong creek, wbene the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie Railroad lies in the
path of the storm, fearful damage was
DONE A large tree was blown across a
freight train, striking the caboose, crush
Ing it like an egg shell. Several train
men were in the caboose at the time, but
they miraculously escaped injury. Book
town, the small hamlet, was laid waste.
Not building is left standing.
The roof OF the Hatfield brick school
house. three miles northwest of Fostoria,
was blown off and the gable ends fell in,
while school was in session, breaking the
arm of the teacher, Miss Belle Norris.
Several children were injured, one little
bow named Hatfield being carried several
hundred feet by the wind.
At New Castle, Pa, there were many
narrow escapes from death. The front of
Charles Earle's west side store was blown
In. Three school buildings were complete
" unroofed. while the Catholic Church
suffered similar fate.

WAR DAYS RECALLED.
Survivors of the First Troops Retrac
the Old Line of March.

Thirty-fve years ago last Thursday the
first Union troops to respond to President
Lincoln's proclamation asking for volun-
teers started on their way to the defense
of the capital One hundred and thirty
hve survivors OF those Pennsylvania MI
litia companies celebrated the anniversary
by following the same line Of march, but
their reception in Baltimore In 1896 was
somewhat different frem that Of 1861.
They represent what Is known as the
First Defenders Association, the living
remnants Of five battalions of militia,
numbering nearly 700 men, as fellows:
The Washington artillery and national
light infantry Of Pottsville, the Ringgold
light artillery of Reading, the Logan
guard of Lewiston and the Allen infantry
Of Allentown.
President Lincoln issued his proclama-
ton on the 18th Of April The same day
the officers Of these companies reported
at Harrisburg with their men, and on
Tuesday, April 16, having been mustered
in, they boarded a train on the Northern
Central Railway and started for Balti-
more. There they were compelled to
change cars and march through the city.
Although platoon of police furnished
them an escort, they were followed by .
mob of several hundred persons, who
threw stones at them as they marched.

regard to the wild animals, that of plac-
ing native and foreign animals Of the
tropical, temperate and colder regions as
far as possible among their natural sur
roundings. 1t will be possible to do this,
considering the large area that will be at
the disposal Of the society. The larger
animals of North America will be shown
In the free range OF large Enclosures, In
which the rocks, forests and natural fea-
lures of the landscape will give the people
an impression OF the life, habits and ma
tive surroundings OF these different types
1t Is proposed that the lion house shall
open into a sandy inclosure in which
palms and other tropical plants will give
a perfect impression of the natural habitat
Of the lion. The first main feature will
be the collection of native animals, many
Of which are rapidly becoming extinct.
The value Of exhibiting them under nat
ural condition will be very great.

IOWA PoPuLIsTs.
The State Convention In Des Meines
Was the Largest In Several Years.

The State Convention In Dee MONIES
Was the Largest In Several Years.
The Iowa Populist State convention
held In Des Moines was the largest In
several years. All but seven counties
were represented and about 600 delegates
were present. In addition to the State
leaders, National Chairman II. Il. Tau
beneck and Gen. ]. =. Coxey Of Ohio were
present and made speeches. The temper
Of the convention was conciliatory and
radical action was avoided, the conven-
ton falling in line with the wishes of
Gen. J. b. Weaver. There was a consid-
cradle undercurrent OF Boies talk among
the delegates, and the hope was freely
expressed that the Democratic convention
at Chicago would split on the silver ques-
ton and both wings nominate candidates
If this Is done the Iowa Populist delega-
tion at st. Louis will undoubtedly seek
to have the silver Democratic nominee
for President indorsed, especially If Boies
should be the man. Gen. Weaver, who
acted as temporary chairman, said:
IF we lose the fight this fall it will be
death to our cause this side of revolution.
If the gold men win they will refund
$500 100000 of treasury notes into inter-
est-bearing bonds. That is the issue. We
are in the crisis and must win"
After his address at the opening Of the
afternoon session Gen. Weaver, chairman
of the committee ON resolutions, submit
ted the following majority reports
Resolved, That the delegates to the st.
Louis convention be instructed to do all in
their power to secure n union Of all the re-
form forces ON n common ticket and a
platform embodying the fundamental
principles of the Omaha platform, with a
further resolution favoring the initiative
and referendum.
The minority report was:
We recommend the adoption Of the
Omaha platform in full, with initiative
and referendum added.
After brief but exciting discussion the
majority report was adopted by an over
whelming vote.
The following delegates to the ST. Louis
convention were selected by the districts
named:

and j. NJ. Holland of Henry; second, DR..

permits the passage OF two sets of double
