anu sweIt through the northeastern part OF
Oedar the north part OF Jones county and
the north portion of Jackson county
Nineteen persons lost their lives and
more than twice as many more were in
jured.
The property loss will probably reach
half million dollars. In many places not
building Of any description was left stand
ing. Cattle, horses and hogs were killed
By the storm. There we're numerous in
stances where farmers lost everything.
The storm crossed the Mississippi river
near Savanna. Considerable damage was
done on the Illinois side before the storm
spent its force.
The second tornado in Illinois started
near Stilman Valley and swept northward,
wrecking farm houses and killing as It
went But the greatest loss OF life was at
the' point of origin, where four were killed
At Lanard She storm ended by wrecking
the county almshouse and killing three in
mates. There were over fifty persons in
the building when 1t was RACED and they
were all more or less injured
In Wisconsin the storm was more violent
than anywhere else but fortunately 1t
originated in the numbering district OF the
northern counties, swept along the line of
the 500 road and spent its force in the pine
regions. Nine people are known to have
been killed. Reports by train are to the
effect that eighteen bodies Of lumbermen
from camp near Heafford Junction are
now lying in the railway station at that
place. 1t Is said, too, that ten lrmbermen
were killed at Elhurst but this report
lacks confirmation. The properly damage
in Wisconsin, while quito heavy. will doubt
less fall much below that in tho fertile
farming districts along the Mississippi in
Iowa and Illinois.

umbian High School building oc-
Cured the fourth annual reception
and banquet given by the Colum-
hian Alumni Association in honor
of the graduating class.
| About forty were present and
the evening was spent by render
ing a short literary programme fol-
lowed by supper, after which toasts
were given by various persons
present.
The opening number OF the
literary programme was chorus
by the members of the Alumni
Association, followed by an ad-
dress Of welcome to the members
of the class of '9S by Mr.. Will
Lewis. president of the society.
After extending to the members of
the class most cordial welcome to
the fellowship and good will of the
society, the speaker briefly outlined
the intended object and benefits of
such an organization, the purpose
OF which is to perpetuate the fra
ternai sentiments existing between
the graduates of the school.
Miss Olive Wood, in response
as representative of the class of
'98, gave voice to the appreciation
| OF her classmates tor their royal
welcome and expressed the hope
that they would prove themselves
worthy of the honor bestowed
upon them.
Although it was time for joy
Gus festivities and those present
had entered fully into the enthus-
iasm Of the occasion, all were much
affected by the beautiful tribute
paid by Mr.. Louis Thiets in his
memorial address to the memory
OF Richard P. Lyon.
1 The audience was next favored
with vocal duet by Misses limo
Turley and Ma Belle Sebree, which
brought forth hearty applause.
1 Superintendent Blakesley next
read an address to the society on
"Youth, What are You Going to
do With It1" He endeavored to
impress upon the minds of his
hearers the importance Of the
early formation of a purpose in
life, and especially warned them
against taking any step without
4 giving it calm and mature consid-
Grafton.
i Miss Vivian Briefly now rendered
vocal solo, which was heartily
appreciated.
4 Pursuing the same line of thought
taken up by Supt. Blakesley, Mr..
F. A. Sabin, president of the
school board, also enjoined those
/ of the Alumni who had not yet
selected their life work to do SO
Immediately, relating experiences
in his own life to illustrate the
necessity of such course.
4 The last number on the literary
programme was chorus by the
Alumni. Refreshments were then
served, followed by dinner
speeches.
The society feels justly proud Of
the new accessions to its member
ship, having confidence that they
will more than fulfill the hope ex-
pressed by Miss Wood in her re-
sponse.
How pleasant it is that former
schooimates may once year min.
gle together and renew old memo
ries and associations, aud for the
time forget the cares and stern
realities OF life. These occasions
are always looked forward TO with
happy expectancy. and there i
always halo Of pleasant memoir
i4s surrounding the recollections
Of these events.
On the whole the occasion wa
Ian enjoyable one and productive
