SPECIAL election to be held on
Tuesday, March 10th, for the
purpose of bonding st. Louis
county in the amount of $3.50,
900 for the building of a main
ooad from Duluth to the north
ern boundary with tributary
roads to Mesaba and Vermilion
towns.
This is a matter of great i'm.
portance to the people of the
ranges in more ways than one,
but the project needs united ef-
fcrt on the part of our business
men, should they desire it to car
ry. Unless our voters are taken
into line and educated in the
matter, the proposition will
doubtless be lost, as many yot.
ers of Duluth will oppose the
proposition, as will also some of
the corporations operating on
the ranges.
Here is another chance for a
Business Mems Association to
get to work. In unity there's
strength, and unity is what mus t
be had in this instance,

DOVER, May 13.-The Republican state
convention met here yesterday, and bcfofe
the adjournment one of the st0rmiest bat
ties in the history of state Republican poll.
tics had been waged. Charges of fraud
were exchanged and fighting over con-
tested seats INDUCED in until it looked as
II the convention would end in chaos. The
war was between the factions respectively
headed by j. Edward Addicks and ex-
Senator Anthony Higgins. In the after
nOOnthe Higgins men bolted the convention
and held a separate one in the state house.
These national delegates were chosen:
Anthony Higgins, John Pilling, Hiram
Reedy, DIR. Paris I. Carlisle, Cornelius Z.
Swain and George H. Hall. They were
instructed for Mckinley.
The regular convention selected J. Ed
ward Addicks, ID. F. Stewart, j. Frank
Allen, DIR. Hirn r. Burton, DIR. Caleb r.
Layton. The fight between the factions
was precipitated by a motiou for the chair
to appoint the committee on credentials.
The Higgins people fought for the naming
of the committee by the district caucuses.
The motion for the chair to appoint finally
carried, scoring first blood for the Ad.
dicks men. The Addicks men applied the
unit rule to nearly all questions and car
ried everything before them. The Addicks
delegates were instructed to vote for the
best man. The platform is for ''honest
money" and opposed to free silver.

Many Buildings Damaged and q Number Of
People Injured.
OMAHA, May ia special to The Bee
from Lincoln, Neb., says: Lincoln was
struck at 4:45 by a tornado which ragged
with undated violence twenty five min
utes. During this period rain fell as from
. cloud-burst, accompanied by hail. The
prevailing drift Of the wind was from the
southwest, but at times it seemed to form
in eddies between the business blocks and
was accompanied by cyclonic features.
Buildings were unroOfed and torn down,
cornices swept from roofs into the streets
and the residence portion Of the city nearly
denuded of trees. The greatest damage
was at the State Hospital for the Insane,
where many of the larger buildings were
unrOofed.
The damage in the city will probably
reach az, 900 and may be much heavier, as
the suburban districts are yet cut off from
communication. The severely injured
arc: J. L. Workman, head cut by flying
debris; A. L. WOodry, in collapsed
building; Mrs. j. B. Abbott, caught be-
meath n horse; Henry Meyer and J. H.
Thorpe.
At the state asylum iron supports weigh
ing 300 pounds were blown several hun
drcd feet. There is scarcely street in the
town which is not strewn with large
branches and whole trunks of trees up
rooted by the storm. In the main bust
ness part of the city the Kelly block,
Ninth and p streets, suffered the worst.
Here the storm tore the tin roof from the
building, throwing it into Ninth street
and covering the sidewalks on two streets
with bricks from chimneys etc

OMAHA, May ia special to The Bee
from Elkho-n, Neb, says: Acyclone swept
this section yesterday afternoon. A fun
nel-shaped cloud shot down from the storm
center and general stampede of citizens
for cellars and caves ensued- At the school
house the children fled panic-stricken to
the furnace room amid the widest con-
fusion, and q number Of them were hurt.
The cyclone struck the ground north of
the town. Its course was northwest. The
path of the storm was from 900 to 800 yards
wide. and everything in this path was
RACED to the ground, including several
houses. Large trees along the highway
adjacent were torn and twisted out Of the
ground.
Farmer Johns0n's Terrible Experience.
Carl johnson, a prominent farmer, was
caught In the twister. He had team at
tached to a wagon. He endeavored to
skirt the storm by driving into meadow
to the westward, but before he could lash
his horses out Of the path Of the rapidly
approaching hurricane he was caught in
Its vcrtcx and man, horses and wagon
were sent through space, together with
fences, boards, posts, wire and other debris
His clothes were torn from his back and he
received n number of wounds. At times
the wind would raise him high in the air
and drop him back to the earth, only to
catch him up again.
Two Miles of Territory Ravaged.
Finally when the storm passed over him
he was $50 yards or more from where the
storm struck him. The wagon was COM
plctely demolished. After traversing a
distance Of about two miles the funnel
shaped cloud arose as suddenly as it had
shot down to the earth, and at point five
or six miles farther to the north dropped
again to the earth, where it is feared great
damage and loss of life resulted.

WASHINGTON, May 1S-The president,
vice-president, many senators and repre-
sentatives, other national officials and .
Large delegation from the diplomatic corps
witnessed the unwilling yesterday Of the
handsome equestrian statue Of General
". s. Hancock. The statue was unveiled
by the generals grandson, and military
parade Of United States troops preceded
the ceremony. The orator Of the day was
Senator Palmer, of Illinois. His address
was devoted to a eulogy of the manly and
soldierly qualities Of General Hancock,
and contained beautiful tribute to the
generals wife, who was his biographer.
Another address, brief one, was deliv-
cred by President Cleveland He said:
"a grateful government today pays trib-
ute TO the memory of one Of our country's
noblest sons and bravest defenders. :
We give this monument to the dead, but
the dead endows our. gift with a signif1-
cance which makes it of priceless value to
che living. 1t is an open book constantly
teaching the lesson of sincere and stead
fast love of country.
with this monument before our eyes,
those in public station who are charged
with the peoples interests, and with the
making and execution Of their laws, can
hardly forget that honest effort to secure
the public veal, and a stern insistence at
all times upon n faithful and unselfish
discharge Of public duty in the places they
occupy, are as essential to the safety and
preservation of all that Americans hold
dear as bravery and heroism on the field Of
battle.
''Let us all open our minds and hearts to
the sentiments especially appropriate to
this occasion; and let our sense of public
duty and our patriotic aspirations be
quickened and stimulated by a voice from
the grave adlnOnishing us that our obligi-
tons as servants of tho people are made
more sacred, and our incentives to vigil
liant citizenship more impressive, because
we have in our keeping the fame and glory
of our cOuntry's heroic dead"
