perlenced in years struck the city last
night at 8 o'clock, and is still "blizzing."

much conjecture at the clubs and about
the city to-day. Business has been prac-
tically suspended, and the telephone serv-
ice seriously crippled.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE. Ind. Feb. 1.-THE pri-
mary election for the nomination of a Re-
publican county ticket yesterday closed the
most interesting and spirited contest in
local politics ever waged in the county. The
race in some cases was neck-and-neck,
some candidates winning with only a plu-
rality of 80 votes in a total vote of $500.
The following is the ticket nominated: Rep
resentative, James H. Harris; prosecutor, l..
8: Baldwin, judge, John F. Neal; auditor.
Calvin Sturdevant; treasurer, A. j. Gibbs;
sheriff. James A. Owen: assessor. Amos
Carson; surveyor. j. A. Mitchell; commits
sioners, Lemuel Carey and w. w. Smith;
coroner, DR.. John A. Aldred.
The delegates to the joint senatorial con-
vention were in session here to-day, but
took no action. Ii was expected that this
caucus would select a man as the choice
of the Hamilton county delegates, which
would virtually close the door TO Upton
county, but it was wisely decided to take
no action. The field is now open to all, both
from this and Upton county. Upton county
has four candidates and Hamilton three.
The candidates from this county are George
Shirts, of this city; David McMath, of Sher-
idan. and Marceilus b. Walker, of Fall
Greek township.

THE ST. LOUIS CYCLONE.
Over 500 Dead Bodies Recovered. sad
the Injured Many 81 Whom WIN
Die. WIN Number over 1000.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 2s.-It will be
several days before definite informa-
ton can be obtained as to the loss bf
life and injury Of the unfortunate
people who happened to be in the
path of the cyclone which swept over
portions of Missouri and Illinois
Wednesday afternoon. In addition
10 the killed and injured in East St.
Louis and St. Louis the cyclone
moved down many people when il
advanced before it.
The property loss will reach well
into the millions, but insurance peo-
pie, fireman and police alike refuse
to hazard even n guess at accurate
figures. The uncertainty regarding
loss of life and property is due main
ly TO the wide extent of the havoc
wrought by the storm, the miles of
wrecked buildings as yet unexplored
and the numerous collapsed factories
towards the investigation Of which
little progress has been made may
hide almost any number of bodies as
the police have been unable to secure
anything like an accurate list of the
missing. IN the factory districts
many of the employees on duty at the
time the storm broke were without
relatives in the city and their disap-
pearance would certainly be noted,
even though they be buried i'm the
ruins. Ii is believed by the police,
too, that owing to the suddenness
with which the crash came many
tramps or homeless ones sought
shelter among the buildings, and
that nothing will be known of their
death until perhaps weeks hence
their bodies are found.
The city is in darkness tonight.
All over the stricken district the de-
bris-choked streets are crowded with
sight-seers, and through the dim gas
lit morgues, through the east end of
street, a constant stream of people is
urged forward by aisles OF police.
Hundreds of homes are in ruins, doz-
ems of men and dozens OF business
houses are wrecked.
The path of the storm is about a
half mile wide and over five miles
long, sweeping through the thickly
populated southwestern portion OF
Eastland and across the river into
East st. Louis.
Col. Wettmore, manager of the
Liggctt * Meyers tobacco plant
which was wrecked, estimated the
entire property damage at S25, coo, eco,
which will be, he says, almost to-
tai loss, owing to the lack of cyclone
insurance. Other estimates range
from $4,000, 900 to $50, 900, 900, but
the majority are close to that made
by Col. Wettmore.

WHOLESALE POISONING.
An EatIre Family ?srtsts Of . Dose

The Matter Mystery.

Yesterday afternoon the entire

one or two OF the children.
For a time everything was con-
fusion as one after the other became

The fact then dawned upon the
older members of the household that
by some means they had partaken
of poison.
Ice cream and cake had been par
taken OF and among those who had
ate the latter the poisonous symptoms
were greatest.
How il came in the cake no one
Knows or ever may know.
The cake had been made at home
and with other delicacies had been
taken by a picnic party to the coun-
try the day previous, however it was
not used and was brought back to-
gether with other articles on return
of the party. The children then had
their picnic with almost fatal results
Five Of the family were last night
considered to be in a dangerous con-
dition, this morning however all are
better except two of the little fellows,
they are under the professional care
Of DIR. Booth who thinks that they
have passed the danger line.
Inquiry of DIR. Booth as to the
poison partaken OF. he stated that
every symptom denoted Arsenic, but
as already stated no one knows how
il came to be in the cake.
