New Richmond, Wis, June IL
The work Of searching for the bodies
OF the victims Of Mondays disaster 5
going on as rapidly as possible. Sew
eral unidentified bodies were removed
from the debris yesterday, and imme-
diately placed i'll collins and buried
without ceremony. The death list is
SO and it is expected that the number
will be augmented to at least ITO and
it may reach 125 or 100. There were
SO many strangers in the city when the
tornado struck that complete list Of
the victims cannot be had for many
days. The ruins Of only a few Of
the business houses have been thor
oughly searched, while scores Of cellars
still remain to be dug up and it is IN
them that the bodies of those now
missing may be found.
When the final CHASTITY roll is COM
pleted it will be found that for once in
the history Of disasters of this kind
the dead outnumber the wounded.

thing could survive the hOrrid twisting

fully half Of those who suffered wounds
were injured by flying debris, which
was scattered for a great distance out
side the path Of the cyclone proper.
The path Of the storm was so clear
ly and sharply defined that a house
would be completely destroyed while
within perhaps twenty feet Of it an
other residence would escape practical
ly untouched, and the majority Of peo-
pie within the limits of the tempest
were either seriously injured or killed
outright. Appearances would also in
dictate that quite number of the vic

NEW FAD IN WEDDING GIFTS.
Costly Books Presented to the Daugh-
ter of Lord Rosebery.

One Of the interesting features OF the
wedding of Lady Peggy Primrose to the
earl of Crews was the presents.
In such a fashionable wedding what
ever was done was taken as the set
ting Of style. The most notable style
set on this day was the sending of rare
books as bridal gifts.
It is not an expensive gift. The
string Of your purse must be quite long
and your judgment Of the best quality
to make such a gift and make it in
good taste. The books that are sent
must not be modern, but classic, in
Gnitely well bound. or rare edition a
print of which is very hard to get.
For example, Lady Peggy received a
very select copy OF Jane Austen's
works; Skeletons edition of Mary
Stuart; the bishop Of Winchester sent
her an excellent edition of '|Pilgrim's
Progress" and if she is a loyal British
subject she must have been very happy
over receiving two royal editions CT
Mr.. William Watson's- collected poems.
Mr.. Watson sending her one edition
himself.
Another superb edition she received
was Matthew Arnold's poems, and the
entire set Of Temple classics in a
green bookcase added to the collection.
Probably the most superb book she
received was rare and quaint edi-
ton of Shakespeare souRets.
The daughter of the British ambas-
sador to the United States sent her the
beautiful prayers and tiffany OF the ola
English church mounted IN black lea
Their and silver.
When it was discovered that Lady
Primrose had received such a marvel
GUS collection Of hooks among her
wedding gifts it was the talk of Lon
don. Lord Rosebery's fondness for old
books and rare editions is we'll known,
for he is a scholar as well as gentle
man, and probably it was a compli-
ment to her fathers personality that
made so many of his friends send the
young bride these rare editions as
wedding gift.-Phf1adeIphia Press.

1T was while resting our horses at
this post, says a traveller, who has
recently returned from the Klondike,
that we first saw them, with their long
string Of yoked oxen, slowly, patiently
hauling their loads. They did not ap-
pear to strain, but by reason OF their
ponderous weight alone the sleigh fol-
lowed their slow, deliberate steps
The men were weary when they
reached that point. For a month they
had been up at / a. N. to feed their
stock, and were in a state Of constant
activity until long after dark. During
the day they travelled continuously,
never stopping at noon to lunch, but
eating their bareback as they walked.
Already one of the men had played out
and was forced to return, thus increas-
ing the hardships for those remaining.
"On being asked as to their rate Of
progress one Of the party responded
cheerfully: "Oh we get along very we'll.
Some days we make as high as ten or
twelve miles
The usual daily average for prospec-
tors with horses is from twenty to
twenty-five miles. The drivers did
not stop at the post stations. Rest
was not considered in their schedule
Each steer was packed with from 20C
to 500 pounds. Having cloven, pointed
hoofs, they sank into the trail, and
often had to be pulled out with ropes
The last news of the party reported
them spending the winter at Deadwood
lake, where they had stopped in the
fall, early enough to put up little
hay for the stock. Lang had died on
the way, but his partner was determin-
ed to push on to Dawson City.
