During
March

Colds and chills are prevalent,
and unless the system is strong
enough to throw them off, serious
illness, often ending in pneumon-
Ia and death results.
The Cause
Of colds, chills and attendant
dangers is found in the blood,
poisoned by uric acid, which
should be expelled by the kid
neys.
The Effect
Of this kidney-poisoned blood
is far-reaching. Health and
strength are impossible while it
exists. The system is being
continually weakened, leaving it
open to the ravages of colds,
chills, pneumonia and fevers.
The Cure
For such a diseased condition
is found in Warmers Safe Cure,
which will restore the kidneys
to health and enable them to
properly perform their functions.
There is no doubt about this.

lull then. The currents shifted. In
the southwest there came into eX-
istence storm cloud with the es.
sential features of the tornado-the
funnel shape. This second storm
burst upon the city from the south
east. 1t came in on the south side
of Lafayette park, struck the city
hospital and from there tore its
way through the city to the river
by q northeasterly course. 1t
wrought such havoc as will long
leave traces in that part Of the city
which lies east of Seventh street
and north of Carr street, to the
Eads bridge.
The destruction at East st. Louis
seems to be greatest. The city
Jail wall is down exposing the
interior. 1t was during exercise
hour and 200 prisoners exercising
in the building were panic stricken.
They were too frightened to es-
cape. Jailer Wagner was on the
scene in a moment and with the
aid of a number OF detectives and
policemen the prisoners were
placed in their cells. The tanks Of
the Water-Pierce Oil company on
Gratiot street, blew up, causing
destruction on every hand. Three
stories OF the Coe Manufacturing
company's building, Ninth and
Gratiot streets, and nearly half Of
the Wainwright company building
was blown down.
The Summer High school, Elev-
enth and Spruce streets, McDer-
motifs saloon, Eleventh and Chest
nut streets, the Central Elephant
on the opposite corner, j. A. Shee-
hans livery stable, Eleventh and
Walnut streets, were unroofed.
The engineer Of the Aetna Iron
works, Twenty-first and Pappin
streets, was almost instantly kill
ed. The walls fell in and he was
scalded to death by steam. The
Consolidated Wire works, Twenty
first and Pappin streets, were al
most totally wrecked. Seven PEG.
pie are known to have been injur-
ed seriously by this wreck, and
many more are said to have been
hurt by falling walls.
The two.story building Of the G.
H. Sawyer Manufacturing COM
pany, 1919 Choteau avenue, was
destroyed. John Sawyer, mem.
Der of the firm, and William
Cheney and Isabel Halden, type
writers, were crushed to death I'M
der the walls. The senior men,
Der of the firm was injured. The
Refrigerator and Woodenware
company's factory, Second and
Park avenue, was completely de-
stroyed by fire, by lightning. The
loss is estimated at $500, 900 on this
plant alone.
A rumor was widely circulated
that the gas tank near the CONSOLE
dated wire works at the south END
of Twenty-first street had been
blown over and crushing in the
wireworks building, killed four
men, to a certainty, and possibly
more. The cyclone came into the
city proper first and then crossed
the Mississippi into East st. Louis
and thereafter raging for half an
hour disappeared in the direction
of Alton. There was little warn.

streets, the thousands on their way

ST. LOUIS, May 27.-One OF the
greatest disasters Of recent years
has overtaken this city. A cyclone
struck the river section of the city,
causing immense destruction in
the channel and upon both banks.
Steamers were torn from their
moorings, capsized and wrecked;
large buildings were demolished
and hundreds buried beneath their
ruins; fire broke out In several
parts of the city and the obstruct-
ed condition of the streets rem
dered effective service almost inn
possible. The tornano which struck
the city at about 5 o'clock last
night blew at the rate Of 80 miles
an hour. During that time the
whole face of the city was changed,
hundreds Of people hurled into
eternity and millions of property
destroyed.
The exact amount can not be
even estimated with any degree OF
certainty. The terrible tornado
that caused this destruction struck
the city yesterday afternoon at S:l5
o'clock, and all parts Of this city
and East st. Louis felt its effects.
The greatest damage on this side
OF the river was inflicted within
three-mile trip along the mighty
stream. '.'.. ''
Many buildings totally collapsed
from the force of the wind, others
were unroofed, while very few In
the city escaped some injury.
Signs and cornices were torn of,
shade trees and everything else
suffered from the strength of the
wind. Hours of depressing sultri.
ness, puffs of wind coming by turns
from all points Of the compass, the
pilipg up of heavy clouds around
the horizon, the flying hither and
thither Of light, mist-like forma.
tions across the dull, dark-colored
masses, these were characteristics
Of an afternoon which brought to
st. Louis the most disastrous storm
in the city's history. For hours
the currents shifted, the wind blew,
the fury Of the elements was borne
in the city's limits. In the west a
thunder storm developed. The
early mutteripgs indicated nothing
more alarming than a downpour
OF rain, with the ordinary electri-
cal accomplishments. This rain
cloud came up slowly from the
west, beyond Forest Park. AS the
black rim mounted higher above
the horizon its arc embraced more
territory to the north and sodth.
A strong wind from the east be-
gan to blow right in the face OF the
storm. Itwas lower current. Ii
raised the rain cloud and brought
it forward faster and faster. Sud-
denly the wind stopped blowing
from the east and there swept
from the northwest a terrific gale
which made the best built struc'
lures tremble. With the hurri-
cane. for that was the first form
the storm took when it broke over
the western part Of the city, came a
deluge of rain. For half an hour,
from few minutes before until
nearly 5 80, the hurricane blew
from the northwest. There came

allowed to enter the building tomorrow.
There are ten thousand people who are
outside the building and refused ad-
mitttance, no matter what their Gre
dentials. To add to the quiet of the
occasion, q circus in the neighborhood
is sending up fireworks and firing can
non at intervals. It Is the worst
crowd Chicago has ever seen III a con-
vention. and If everybody gets home
alive the undertakers will be sorry.
After the chairs appeal Fred White, Of
Iowa, presented Boies' name in COM
parative quiet and with very few
cheers. No cyclone appears to have
struck Boies as 1t has Bryan.
Whites speech was good deal Of a
perfunctory matter. When 1t con-
cluded a woman in the south gallery
three hundred feet from the platform
made sensation by her applause.
She was dressed in white and first be-
gan frantically throwing her hands
above her head screaming hysterically
Another young lady by her side did
something to aid, but was soon in the
background The author Of all this
Boies boom was Miss Minnie Murray
and of course newspaper man being
editor of the Nashua Iowa Reporter.
After she had shouted and gesticu-
lated minute or two some one gave
her small flag which she waived and
then another flag was given her.
While she was walking, flag in each

was carried up to her seat, but it was
too heavy for her to wave. She was
then escorted down the aisle leading
to the convention floor and lifted over
the rail which separated the gallery
from the reporters tables Then walk
ing over to the reporters she finally
reached the level of the convention
floor and was escorted with banner
in the lead to the seats of the Iowa
delegation. When she began the dem
onstration, delegates

reporters their tables, the audience
arose en- nlasse and all facing south
waved handkerchiefs to her and yelled.
AS she walked over my table I had an
opportunity to see that she is good
looking and red headed. She demon
strated what one woman, who is a
newspaper man can do, for until she
took hold of 1t the Boies boom was fiat.
Her antics may not make him many
votes, but it made half an hours noise
and fun tonight
When the speech nominating Black
burn was concluded the band struck
up the "Old Kentucky Home" while
the audience in singing this furnished
the bulk of the applause for the Black
burn boom. 1t was an odd exchange.
Missouri presented Bland when Ala
bama was called and when Missouri
was called Arkansas responded with a
second for Bland. The Mclean boom.
which was sprung by ]. W. Patrick. of
Ohio, was very mild and attracted lit
the attention. When New York was
called there was loud cries for "Hill!,'
but Hill is gold standard man and
did not materialize. AS Pattison, of
Pennsylvania, was induced to with
draw at the last moment it left the gold
party silent, as they wished to be under
the circumstances. The nominating
oratory has not been up to the usual
standard tonight, partly owing to the
confusion which prevented the speak
ers being heard and 1t needs a respon-
sive chord from the audience to pro-
duce oratory.
Another reason was the depressing
effect of the. cyclonic Bryan While
Bryan has been talked of, but little at
tention was given to his candidacy
until his speech today and now it looks
as though he was the coming man. He
is lawyer living at Lincoln, Neb., and
the editor of the World Herald at
Omaha. He has been twice elected to
congress, once changing his district
from 1,500 Republican to 5000 Demo-
cratic. Then his district was gerry
wandered, putting all the Democratic
counties in the state In it, but he car
ried 1T by la. Mr.. Hitchcock, proprie-
tor OF the Omaha World Herald tells
me. 1t was not the intention to have
Bryan formally nominated until after
his great speech. While 1t looks like
Bryan. delay will be dangerous. A
cyclonic boom needs to be worked
while it is red hot The adjournment
of convention without ballot is more
favorable to Bland than to Bryan,
though I should still consider Bryan's
chances best. If nomination had been
pushed tonight, Bryan would have won.
He may win tomorrow, but this was his
day in court H. P. Hall.

PLATFORM CHANGES.
More Tinkering by the Resolution,
Committee.

More Ttnkering by the Resolutions
COMMITTEES.
4 CHICAGO, July 9.-The committee
on resolutions held brief meeting this
morning and agreed upon several
amendments to the platform, the most
important of which was the following
substituted known as the Bailey
amendment, for the plank on bank is
sues.
Congress alone has power to coin
and issue money and President jackson
declared that this power could not be
delegated to corporations or to individ-
uals. We. therefore denounce the is
suance Of notes as money for national
banks, as In derogation of the consti-
tuition and we demand that all paper
which is made legal tender for public
and priveate debts, or which is recefy-
able for dues to the United States.
shall be issued by the government of
the United States, and shall be redeem
able in coin.
The Bailey amendment was offered
as a substitute for a portion of the
financial plank, and Tillman promptly
moved to lay on the table. The first
vote stood u and IL. Another vote was
ordered, and there was 10 yeas and 12
nays. The point of no quorum was
made, the gold men Of the committee
having refused to vote Tfllnan made
a protest against the minority of the
committee coming In and delaying
business. Fiji said that the action Of
the minority members was a matter
for each to determine for himself.
Congressman Bryan offered the fol-
lowing Plank which was adopted to
form part of the platform:
We are in favor ofzthe arbitration Of
differences between employers engaged
in interstate commerce and their en-
ployees and recommend such legislation
as is necessary to carry out this urfn-
cip1es."
At the suggestion of Senator Walsh
and Delegate Dwyers, the new com
mitteeman from California, seconded by
Mr.. Holman Of Maine, the following
was added to the pregmable:
The constitution OF the United States
guarantees to every citizen the rights
of civil and religious !; liberty. The
Democratic party has salways been the
exponent of political liberty and re-
ligious freedom and it renews its obi
cations and reaffirms its devotion to
these fundamental principles Of the
constitution"

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO, July 9.-You. have all
heard of the power of the press, but I
had chanced to realize its immensity
tonight. 1t enabled me to escape q
clubbing by the Chicago police The
recess was so brief between the after
noon and evening sessions that early
comers had packed the building before
/ reached the coliseum from the city.
found every outside door to the build
ing closed and guarded by a strong
police force with thousands of angry
people, many with tickets, demanding
admittance. The police, with drawn
clubs, would drive people back while
men swore and women tainted. With
much effort got the attention Of four
policemen, and on inspecting my press
badge they concluded to let me in.
The trouble had only just begun, as
there were two more cordons of police
to pass, but the press badge did it.
/ saw men struck and thrown like in
animate objects. The police tore one
mans coat off and then discovered he
was delegate. This was at the last
door to the entrance of the convention
floor. The cry Of the police was there is
not a seat left in the house and you
can't go in" Ten thousand people
were disappointed in, not being able to
enter the building and the only wonder
Is the police were not nobbed. It was a
turbulent night.
