Learning . Foreign Language.

Some interesting statistics might be
collected ON the effect upon linguistic
power and accent Of the possession Of .
musical ear. 1t would seem that per-
son with good ear for music would be
more rapid in the requirement Of a for
eign tongue, and having acquired it
would possess a more perfect pronuncia-
ton of the sounds than would q person
not having the same ready musical gift.
Similarly such a person would DO
quick to attain the dialect Of the cOun-
try in which he might be living and to
adapt his speech to the brogue or pro-
vincialism with which he found his ears
surrounded.
The greater rapidity with which Ger
mans, Poles and Russians learn the
English language is surely not to be &C.
counted for merely by stating that their
own more nearly resembles our language
than does that of the French or Italian.
A Greek, for instance, learns English in
about half the time it takes an Italian

Post-Mdnight Report
 Rockford, H., May 25.-Several people were killed and many thousand dollars worth of property destroyed by a storm of wind, hail and rain which swept upon this region last night Four persons were injured, some fatally. The storm was most severe southeast of the city. At midnight cyclone struck one mile south of Egan City, wrecking the residence of Mrs. Isora Bird and killing her instantly. Her two girls and two boys were badly hurt. The older girls arm was fractured, and she was internally injured. It Is not believed the younger girl will live. Big trees were torn from the earth, crops leveled and outhouses destroyed. Dr. Hilderbrandt, his wife and daughter were killed near Monroe Center, the wife be- ing beheaded by flying beam, and Miss Rhinehart lost her life at Leaf River
 Davis Junction was also a victim of the storm to a serious extent. In this city the storm ragged for more than an hour, filling the air with balls of electric fire and flashes of lightning, following with frightful rapidity. The city, how ever, escaped the destructive force of the storm, the chief damage being to houses struck by lightning, first floors and base ments flooded and telephone wires broken. The railroads into the city are obstructed by washouts. The tracks are strewn for miles with the wreckage of the storm.

Post-Midnight Report
 Des Moines, Ia., May 25.-As more defi- mite accounts reach here of the storm in Polk and Jasper counties the number of dead is placed at twenty with as many more seriously injured, a number of whom will certainly die. The storm started in two divisions about twelve miles north of Des Moines, the starting points being nine miles apart. As the clouds progressed they gathered force, and gradually converged until they met two miles east of Ankeny, and here they developed first the cyclone form, with funnel and tremendous force and roaring and electrical disturbances. From this point west for nearly twenty miles the path of the storm is a path of destruc- ton. The greatest loss of life occurred in the track of the storm from Bondu- rant to the northeast Nothing was left in its path. It passed for several miles through a dense forest, with oak trees feet in diameter. Not one that was struck was left standing. All were snapped off short or torn up by the roots, Houses struck by the storm disappeared utterly. The path covered by the cyclone proper is in most places from forty to eighty rods wide. It perpetrated all the remarkable freaks that cyclones are fa- nous for. Those who heard 1t early saved themselves by getting into their caves or cellars. In other places whole families were killed or terribly injured and their property destroyed.
 typical bit of destruction was at the Bailey home, northwest of Bondurant. There were in the house nine people. Four of them were killed and the rest in- jured so badly that it is doubtful if any of them will recover. Two minutes after the storm struck there was no trace of house, save the cellar and in it were piled the chimney and stove and half the fur niture. The house was blown to pieces, the boards into splinters. They were scattered so far that no trace can be found, save here and there for mile east The bodies of the victims were found in the fields, where were also dis tributed the bodies of a dozen horses. two score of cattle and about 100 hogs.
 This also was the experience at the home of Peter Bolenbaugh, mile further west. MT. and Mrs. Bolenbaugh, both about 45 years of age, occupied the home with a little boy, Theophilus Mayburn, a neighbor. The house was razed so con- pletely that no sign of 1t can now be seen. The three inmates were killed. MT. Bolen- baugh had both arms broken, his head crushed, one leg and several ribs injured and his neck and jaw broken. The boy and womans bodies were also badly bruised They were not found until 2 o'clock in the morning.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-05-26

says the storm was unprecedented in it's fury in that section. Three miles west of the town a house was lifted bodily from the earth, carried some distance and thrown to the ground shattered wreck. An entire family of occupants were killed. Roads are almost impossible from debris, fences, outbuildings and branches of trees being swept together in piles. Nothing has been heard from the northeastern end of the county, where 1t is feared the storm caused the greatest damage. A messenger from Bondurant, who arrived at o'clock, says that R. G. Scott, a prominent farmer, was killed also that the church at Ankeny was blown down and several persons were hurt.
 The town of Granger was badly wreck ed. The number of farm houses wrecked between Valeria and Bondurant is very heavy. Mayor MacVickar has called a meeting at the council chamber to take active measures for the relief of sufferers. A number of collins have been shipped to Bondurant on the Great Western extra. via Berwick, the nearest point.

Awful cloudburst at Mcaregory, Ia.

PoSt-M Midnight Report,
 McGregor, Ia. May 25.--A fatal cloud burst devastated this city and county last night For ten miles everything is in ruins. All the afternoon the clouds were gathering and about 1 o'clock the storm burst in its fury, soon deluging the valley. It swept everything before it. Six bodies have been found and nine peo- pie are missing. A small stream called Bloody Run passes through the town. Some of the unfortunate victims are sup posed to have been carried out into the Mississippi river, into which the Bloody Run empties at North MeGregor.
 About ten miles of the track of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail- way were washed away. A large number of freight cars were standing on the tracks in the yards. They are piled in shapeless masses along the valley, some of them being carried down into the river The loss to the railroad company will reach $100000. The sight was most appalling as the wall of water washed down the creek. The valley for twelve miles is one vast wreck, and the damage to mills, houses and farms cannot be es- timated.

Terrible Tidings, Indeed.

Afternoon Report.
 Des Moines, Ia, May 25-The most alarming reports are being received here this morning respecting the cyclone which swept over Polk, Story and Jasper counties shortly after midnight. Owing to the almost total prostration of tele- graph and telephone wires it is not pos sible to verify the reports received, but the indications are that the casualties reached fifty killed or injured. Fourteen persons are reported killed in the three towns of Valeria, Bondurant and Anke- ny. The two latter towns are in this
 Polk) county, while Naleria is in Jasper county. directly east. So far as heard from Slater is the only town in Story county which suffered, but there is no means of communication with that sec- tion this morning. There is every proba- bility that restoration of telegraphic communication will bring news of the disaster as yet unreported. No details have been received from Slater further than the bare statement that the whole town was destroyed. The same report comes from Polk City, this county.
 Later-A telephone message from Ber- wick says a courier just in says twenty four persons were killed at Bondurant, five at Valeria and three at Ankeny.
 The situation grows worse as authentic news comes from the cyclone district. At Valeria 1t is now known that fifteen per sons were killed the number being first placed at about five. Most of those killed were in the deport of the Chica go Great Western road. some of them having just aiighted from the train and others having taken refuge there from the rain. The depot was literally blown to pieces. The westbound passenger train escaped the cyclone but a few minutes. Had it re- mained at the station five minutes long sr the list of killed would undoubtedly have numbered scores.
