SIX IOWA TOWNS WRECKED
By WIND.
Scores OF Lives Lost in a Hawk
eye State Cyclone.
Property Loss Is Enormous

Des Moines, Ia, May 25.-Central
Iowa was swept by a disastrous
storm abou. midnight last night.
Jasper and Polk counties suffered
most, but the terrible extent Of the
disaster is not yet apparent. The
storm, which at first gave promise
of nothing more serious than heavy
rain, soon developed into tornado,
riveling in force aud destruction the
recent tornadoes which devastated
Texas and Kansas.
As far as can be ascertained at
present. six towns were partially de-
stroyed. They are Bondurant. Va
leria and Mingo. on the line Of the
Chicago and Great Western, north,
east from Des Moines, and Ankeny,
Polk City and Slater. on another
branch of the same railroad, running
north from Des Moines, Bondurant,
Ankeny and Polk City are in Polk
county; Valeria is on the line between
Polk and Jasper counties; Ningo is
in Jasper county and Slater Is in the
southwestern corner of Story county.
The first fatality occurred two
miles east of Bondurant. The house
of Robert Bailey, occupied by him
self, wife and seven children. was
demolished. Mrs. Bailey; Joe, aged
21; Lizzie, aged Is, and John, aged
Is, were killed outright. Mr.. Bailey
sustained injuries that will probably
result fatally.
From this point the storm follow
ed the Great Western road to a
point above Ira, in Marshall county,
where the last traces of it are found.
The town of Santiago was wrecked,
and a family named Bolenbaugh,
consisting of father, mother and one
child, were killed. A number were
injured, but it is not thought any OF
the injuries are serious
TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION AT VALERA
A terrible spectacle was presented
in one demolished house in Valera
Seven members of a family, father
mother and five children, were found
lying dead among the wreckage il

not expected to live. Two children
named Aikens were also killed out

John Jacks, of the Montgomery
county Standard, before the Sedalia
convention was sound money man
and fearlessly advocated those prin-
ciples. He has been requested to
take the floor and tell how he stands
on the platform now, and makes the
following RESPONSE:
Certainly with pleasure.
The fight is over-we have lost.
Believing in the rule of the major
ity in party organization whenever
the party speaks we abide its dictim
and shall therefore be found in the
ranks under the Sedalia platform
battling for the success of the dem
ocrats.
Democracy means too much to the
people to leave it because ones own
peculiar views may not be obtained
on any one idea and as the large
majority of the Democrats of Mis-
souri, have decided that free silver
must be the slogan for this time, the
Standard will be found standing in
ranks and doing its best to defeat
the common enemy We always
make our fight in the party and then
abide the wisdom and will of the
majority.
And as MIR. Bland is the logical
candidate of the democrats on free
silver platform, we are for him for
the nomination. No one questions
his sincerity and none doubt his
honesty, and therefore Richard P.
Bland should be heartily and sincere
ly supported by Missouri democrats
at Chicago"
All good democrats will take this
view and abide by the decision o.
the Chicago convention.

Washington, May 25.-It was cur
rent gossip at the Senate end of the
Capitol to-day that Senator Brice
had abandoned all hope of carrying
a sound money delegation from
Ohio to the Democratic National
Convention. The Senator has had a
careful canvass of the State made.
and has received reports from his
friends and agents
As result of this information he
has come to the conclusion that the
free silver men are in an overwhelm
ing majority among the Ohio Dem
ocrats and that it would be useless
for him to waste further effort in
fighting the battle of gold. The an.
nouncement that Brice had thrown
up the sponge was received with
great glee by the silver men. They
now feel absolutely certain that they
will have everything thier own way
at Chicago. They are claiming that
in addition to the solid South and
solid West they will have in the con.
vention the great Central States Of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky

Attorney Elliott Talks About Grip
pie Creek.

Attorney c. E. Elliott has just re-
turned from trip to Colorado. He
visited several different points, but
Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek
we're the notwithstanding places,
In speaking Of Cripple Creek he
stated that TIE excitement there re.
minded him Of the opening of the
Cherokee Strip. Every passenger
train running into Cripple Creek is
loaded to its fullest capacity, The
excitement is higher than it has ever
been. The mines are becoming rich
er than the most Sanguine had ex-
pected. There are now over one hun
dred shipping mines in the Cripple
Creek region. The Portland mine is
yielding fourteen hundred ounces of
gold to the ton Of material taken out.
Thus a ton of material yields $40, 400
worth of gold.
Mr., Elliott says the city of Cripple
Creek has a population of $1,000 and
chat in the Cripple Creek region there
are several towns of four and five
thousand each. Rents are very high
and in fact it is almost impossible to
rent rooms at any price. One party,
in order to get a small room, bought
out a millinery establishment and
paid S65 a month rent. The city is
very tough, he says. there being fifty
nine saloons running day and night,
Sundays and all. There was, however,
a marked absence of firearms of all
kinds. A very stringent law prohib-
its the carrying of firearms, concealed
or otherwise.
Mr.. Elliott thinks that Colorado
Springs is the preferable place for a
lawyer to locate. Parties having the
Cripple Creek craze will do we'll to
talk with Mr.. Elliott, as he is chock
full of information. ...s .....

to solve perhaps, with more
zest and interest than they had ever
devoted to such puzzles before, mas
much as upon the solution depended
their supper and a partner in their
joys and sorrows, at the limit which
human nature places upon mans
ability to partake of the delicacies
served. The color of a small ribbon
on each card told you to what table
you were assigned. Upon each plate
was found a bouquet and verse
which predicted the fortune Of it's

crate and delicious supper the time

able features was a solo by Miss ALA

In the Beginning

of new year, when the winter sea-
son Of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
pOsure threatens sickness. 1t is then as
well as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: that Hoods Sarsparilla leads
everything in the way Of medicines;
that itaccomplishes thegreatest cures
in the world; has the largest sale in
the'wOrld, and requires the largest
building in the world devoted exclu-
sively to the preparation of the pro-
prietary medicine. Does not this con-
clusively prove, il you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine
for you to take?
