dOus applause, which was continued for
fully a minute. When he spoke of
sound money" there was demon
stration from that element, but it was
so weak as compared with the other

laugh which caused Sheridan to sus-
pend his remarks for moment. Sheri.

it is understood that at least $4,000
more will be subscribed before night

ture. A fair estimate places the num-
Der of individuals assisted at 1000 and

ried on while money lasts. Nearly
every public school is opened and the
damaged churches are being repaired

roadway across the Eads bridge was
opened for traffic this morning

diets that within the next two or three
months the only outward sign Of
Wednesdays tornado in the devastated
districts will be substantial new build
ings standing in contrast to the old
and dingy ones that were spared. He
adds: Zone thousand will not cover
the number of houses damaged by the
tornado. calculate that fully half Of
that number will have to be built
anew. l have seen and talked with
many of the property owners whose
houses were destroyed, and all express
the determination to speedily rebuild
them on an enlarged and more sub
stantial plan"
The revised list of tornado victims
in East st. Louis shows the following
figures: Identified dead, 90; unidenti-
fled dead, .; missing, 90; fatally ia

LEXINGTON, KY, June 3. Free silver
delegates to the democratic state con-
vention in conference last night pre-
pared the resolutions, which will not
denounce President Cleveland, Secre-

bers of the legislature who voted for
him for senator last winter

burn and Geu. Hardin will be chosen
without opposition, but ballOting is

CONVENTION.
Annual Convention of Winneshiek
County Sunday School Association.

Winneshiek County was well repre-
scented at the Annual Convention of
the Sunday School Association, held
in the M. E. Church Friday and Sat
urday. The convention was called to
order at two O'Clock Friday afternoon
by President G. r. Baker, and the
afternoon was devoted to papers and
discussions by representatives of diff
ferent Sunday Schools. Friday even
ing E. b. Stevenson, Asst. Supt. Ameri-
can $. s. Union, spoke to the children
and followed with an address to the old
er people. On Saturday morning the
business of the Association was dis
pensed with, and two interesting dis
cussions were held.
The convention was interesting
throughout, and doubtless will aid in
increasing the interest in the Sunday
Schools of the County.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year, most of them being
re-eletions:
President, g. r. Baker.
Vice Presidents, Paul Topel and N. Miller.
Sec'y. and Treas, E. M. Carter
Executive Committee, Miss M. b. Cutler
Mrs. M. B. Carter, Miss Julia Wingate.

A Correction.

We very much regret that we were
misinformed last week in regard to the
cause Of the bequest, which was
mentioned, being made to Mrs. Lincoln.
The boy referred to was not criminal,
but was just hayward youth, who
did not feel justified in living with his
parents, but who, through the ennobling
influence of Mrs. Lincoln, was recon-
ciled, and returned to his parents. The
bequest was made, for the establish
ment of an institution of learning by
Mrs. Lincoln, with no special condition
except the edification and education of
young people, and not, as the article of
last week might seem to infer, for the
especial uplifting of degraded indi-
viduals.
The institution, if established, will
doubtless be worth double the amount
of the gift, $4,000, as several towns are
striving to secure the school, and some
very large bonuses have been offered.

Sunday Nights Storm.

The storm on Sunday night
did good deal of damage in the sur
rounding country. At Burr Oak the
rain and hail came down in torrents,
and many fields of grain were des-
trOyed, and fences blown down. A
phone from Elder Ridley says his
berry crop will be failure on account
of it, and he estimates his loss at $1,000.
F. G. Schank says he measured an
average hail stone which was q inches
in diameter. The c. M. e. st. p. track
from Monona to McGregor is washed
out in places, there being about five
miles swept away along the Bloody
Run this side of McGregor. Between
four and five miles of track were
washed out on the b. G. r. q N, be.
tween POstville and Clermont and
West Union and Maynard.
We were unable to get further partic.
ulars at the time of closing our forms,
but it is thought the damage has been
great in other places.

Golden Wedding.

About forty Masons with their wives
gave Cyrus Mckay and wife very
pleasant surprise at their home on
Winnebago street Sunday afternoon.
The occasion was the fiftieth anniver-
sary of their marriage, and these
friends gathered there to show the
esteem in which this couple are held
by themselves and the community at
large. They have lived in DEBORAH for
many years, and have gained the
friendship of all who know them.
Rev. A. g. Wilson in very fitting
address presented Mr.. Mckay a gold
headed cane and Mrs. Mckay gold
headed umbrella in behalf of the
Masonic lodge of this city, and it was a
very beautiful and impressive cere-
mony. Mr.. Mckay responded in his
usual hearty manner, saying that
while he and his wife thoroughly APP
preciated and would cherish the gifts,
they thought more OF the friendship of
the people than of the token. A de-
licious repast was served by Caterer
Daubney on tables spread on the lawn.
Last evening the g. A. r. Post and
Woman's Relief Corps of this city gave
them another surprise, and on their be-
half Mrs. l.. L. Caldwell presented
them with beautiful set of dishes.
Both of these occasions will long be
remembered by Mr.. and Mrs. Mckay
and those who participated, and PUB
Lie OPINION wishes for this couple
many years more of happy welded
life.

A NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
The Question Carries by Vote of
1877 For and I63 Against.

The proposal to bond the indie.
pendent School District of DEBORAH fol-
$25, 900 for the building of a new school
house, carried at the election held last
Wednesday by majority of ia.
Previous to the opening of the polls
there was considerable discussion as to
whether or not the question would
carry at the election, but as the time
for the closing of the polls approached
it was manifest that good majority of
those who voted were in favor of the
proposition.
500 votes were cast, 377 for and 1853
against bonding, which left majority
of ia favoring it, so the work of tear
ing down the old building and the
erection of the new one will be COM
menced as soon as is practicable.
The Board of Directors held meet
ing Thursday morning, and decided to
receive bids for the work to be done,
and several different architects are now
at work making plans. The old build
ing will be torn down as soon as this
term of school closes in June, ifbuild-
ings to hold school in next fall can be
secured. If this cannot be done, the
foundation will probably be put in this
year and the building erected next
summer.

A Serious Accident.

A very serious accident happened to
little Genevieve Beard, the eleven year
old daughter of Ham Beard, on Friday
evening. She and little Tjernagle
girl were riding tricycle. in Tjernageps
yard on Upper Broadway, and the tri-
cycle ran off the 'embankment, which
was five or six feet high. The lower
part of Genevieve Boards face struck
on the curbstOne below and the teeth
and upper jaw were badly crushed.
Several of the teeth were driven into
her upper jaw, and the accident was
most pitiable one. Drs. Cartwright,
Barfoot and Conover were called and
did as much as could be done for the
child, who is now up and doing as well
as possible under the circumstances.
