Fatal Wind Storm Sweeps Over Iowa ana
South Dakota-Property Wrecked.
Des Moines. Ia, May "A tornado
caused scare. destruction of property,
and one fatality in western Iowa and
Dakota Saturday. The tornado took
form between and o'clock in the
afternoon in Dixon county, Neb. It
crossed the Missouri river and struck
the ground first near Elk Point, 8. D.,
where 1t tore up farm house, from
which, however, the occupants had es-

ing. Much damage to property is re-
ported from the vicinity of Richland,
and it is feared other lives were lost.
The storm crossed the Big Sioux riv-
er, near Akron, and passed up to Maui
rice, on the Sioux City and Northern
railway, tearing up property all the
way, and destroying completely the
Maurice railway station. The storm
abated near Ashton, O'Brien county.
Several farm houses and barns in the
track of the storm, on the south edge
of Sioux county, were blown down.
None killed, but several people injured.

MOB LAW IN THE SOUTH.

The Government Must Act In the South
Carolina Outrage.
The murder of the colored postmaster
and his young child in Lake City, S. O.,
Is the most discouraging news which
has come from that neighborhood in
some time. The brutal mob evidently
intended to make its work complete and
wipe out the whole family, for it not
only committed two murders, but
wounded four children and burned the
house to the ground.
1t is difficult to read this story Of
murder and outrage and believe that it
occurred in one of the oldest states in
the Union. It would fit better the con-
dition of things in Cuba and Armenia.
Nothing more fiendish has happened in
either one Of these countries than this
South Carolina massacre.
The duty Of the government is plain
in this situation. The man foully muir
dered was an officer of the government
and as such had right to the protec-
ton of the country. When he fell
pierced by the bullets Of gang of MUIR
derers, the dignity Of the government
was outraged, and reparation full and
prompt should be insisted upon. If the
lowest American consular agent in q
foreign port were shot down as this
postmaster was, there would be no hest
tation in demanding the punishment of
the murderers, an apology and an ih-
demnity, and If these were not prompt
ly forthcoming United States warship
would lombard the offending town and
be applauded by every civilized nation.
There can be no compromise in such
a matter. Either the government or the
bloodthirsty mob is supreme. 1t is not
the time now to ask whether the ap-
pointment of postmaster at Lake City
was expedient. That question can be
answered when sufficient PREPARATION has
been made to the government offended
honor. If stern measures had been taken
at the time of the Hogansville outrage,
there would probably have been no
murder at Lake City. The former has
been allowed to pass UNPUBLISHED, and
the lawless mob at Lake City believed
that a greater crime was admissible.
This misapprehension should be sternly
and promptly corrected. -Philadelphia
Press.

Madrid, May 3.-Captain General
Blanco cables that IAN American IRON
clad and three smaller vessels attempt
ed to land troops in boats off Herradu-
ia at $3.50 p. m. on Saturday. The troops
fired on them and the warships replied
with a cannonade. But the boats re-
turned to their ships, which disappeared

undoubtedly refers to the few shots
fired by the flagship New York at a
troop of Spanish cavalry near Cabanas
