Seriously If Not Fatally
Iufrvrad

Lincoln, Ill, June 21.--The tornado
which passed over the central and
southern portions of Logan county
yesterday afternoon destroyed thou
sands of dollars worth Of property
md completely demolished the inn
mense cow barn on the farm of the
state institution for the feeble mind
I'd. Twenty-six persons seeking ref
nge from the storm were buried in
The debris. -Four of the refugees, boy
inpils from Chicago, were taken out
Head. Five others were severely in
iured, n of whom, the farm super
intendent, will probably die.
The dead:
Sylvester Baker.
James O'Brien.
Neal Mckenzie.
Castle lie Baron, all boy pupils of
the institution.
The injured:
Jacob Wilmot, farm superintendent,
will probably die.
Henry Berger.
William Wilhelm.
William Fisher, a pupil, severely
bruised and cut, but will probably re-
cover.
Lemuel Gleason, attendant; serious
Injuries; may die.
At 3:45 o'clock in the afternoon n
tornado was seen approaching the city
from the southwest. The state insti~
tuition for feeble minded, containing
over 700 inmates, seemed to be direct
~ in the path of the storm, and strin-
gent measures were quickly taken TO
prevent a panic. The roofs of several
of the buildings were carried away
and great damage was done o the
grounds. But the 700 inmates were
under perfect control of the attend
ants and the threatened panic and
great loss of life was averted. The
tornado passed on to the northeast,
touching next on the farm and the
barns connected with the asylum three
miles distant. The 10Y barns were
riddled, in which were twenty-six per-
sons, including the superintendent OF
the farm, Jacob Wilmot, tw~enty-four
pupils and an attendant. The barn
was wrenched from it's foundations
and torn TO pieces. Four of h pupils
were instantly killed. The others, with
the exception of the superintendent,
escaped serious injury and were short
IL rescued from the debris.
The tornado passed on to the north
east, doing no great damage. The ex.
tent is as yet unknown. 1t is feared
that many lives have been lost. AS 10
is no reports have come to the city.

The Chronicles Montreal correspon-

Cabinet Minister, who has returned
from an extensive trip through the
United States, says that the defective
ness of the United States national
bank system is responsible for much of
the depression that has been noticeable
of late. The system does not meet
present requirements, the banks being
precluded from giving the necessary
accommodations to move crops, etc.
hence the many failures that have been
exploited. The silver agitation was an

According to the Japan Daily Ad-

japanese Government has decided to
open negotiations with the Hawaiian
Government to ask the latter to take
steps for the removal of the restric-

reporter for the Advertiser re
quested permission of Deputy Collector
McStocker to accompany the eXpedi-

of the ordinary and bore a somewhat
legal aspect he was referred to Judge
Magoon, with the remark that he (Mr
McStocker), personally, had no objec-
tions to a member of the press going
with them.
ExJudge Magoon, however, was of
different opinion. On receiving an af-
firmative answer to his question: DO
you belong to the newspaper" he
promptly denied the request, and re-
marked that it was not a matter for
the newspapers, being an official in
vestigation, the press cannot be rep
resented"
But it is matter which concerns
the public" ventured the reporter.

retorted the attorney. You can hear
of it after the investigation is over"
Then Chester Doyle suggested that
