HAVOC OF THE STORM.
Later Details of the Disasters in
the Stricken Towns.
Ten Dead and Twenty-Five Injured
at Herman-BuryinE the Victims
at New Rich hmOnd-CIOudburst
Causes Loss of Life In Texas.

Herman, Neb., June 15.-Ten were
killed and about 25 injured in Tuesday
nights tornado. 1t is thought all are
now accounted for unless the storm has
been more dia..-trous in the country
than now anticipated. Not single
building in the town is left.
A partial list of the dead and wound
ed is as follows:
DEAD:-D. b. Hopkins; Mrs. D. b Hop
kins. Herman; a. Hopkins, their son; Mrs.
keso Pender, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hopkins: w. S. Richards, postmaster of
Herman; Mr.. Hawkins, home four miles
west of Herman; child of S. NJ. Davis;
Louis Clausen, machinist, Missouri Val
ley; Earl Petersen. Died at hospital since
the storm. Thomas Hines. plasterer. Blair.
Property Loss.
The loss of property aggregates $780,
600, which means something appalling
for the inhabitants of the peaceful lit
tie village. One hundred buildings have
been completely destroyed. Only six
structures remain intact, three in the
north and the same number in the
south part of the town. These COM
prise four residences, the schoolhouse
and one church. The population is in
u pIlldDlt tOIliltlOll IOSt WIZ l''''
their homes. and there are about 500
of them, are absolutely without re-
sources and must depend on public
charity for sustcnance and Il chance to
begin life over again. The few who
escaped without injuries or loss of
property are so completely dazed that
they know not what to do.
Relief Work.
The work of relief has already begun,
and in substantial manner. About a
hundred of the unfortunates are housed
at Blair. The latter town raised 5000
as relief fund, and the Washington
county authorities appropriated $500
for the same purpose. Two dozen tents
were sent out from Blair and are oc-
cupied by the homeless. The Blair fire
department has been on guard at the
scene of the disaster, keeping depre-
dators away, though there is nothing
left to steal. Household goods and
everything went to pieces in the wild
swirl that obliterated the town. Ad-
vices from Blair state that most of the
injured there are doing well. The dead
will be buried to-day. 1t is hoped that
in a few days the work of rebuilding
will begin. Offers of assistance are
pouring in from all quarters.

New Richmond will be recognized, for
the reason that the fire has charred
their bodies. They could not be exam

From the stricken Town.
New Richmond, Wis, June 14.-The
tornado that has swept out of existence
the prosperous little city of New Rich
mond is the most disastrous in point OF
fatality ever occurring in this section.
The exact number of dead is still un-
known, but it will certainly reach 100,
and very probably will considerably ex-
ceed that figure.
Nurses and physicians from ST. Paul,
who had come down by special train on
the Omaha road as soon as news of the
disaster reached the Minnesota capi-
tai, were of great help, all night and
day, and when the day closed all the
seriously in jured were believed to have
been cared for. Those whose injuries
were serious, but whose chances for re-
covery were believed to be good, were
quickly sent to the hospitals of st.
Paul and Minneapolis, where better
care can be given them. The slightly
injured and those whose cases seem
hopeless were kept here and were given
the best attention possible. The list of

The Buffalo Strike

Buffalo, n. Y, June l5.-FulIy $500
men are on strike or have quit work
along the docks for various reasons,
and outside of the elevating of grain no
work is being done. The freight han
dlers held big meeting Wednesday
night and decided to remain out until
the demand of the Erie housemcn for
an increase of one cent an hour in wages
is granted.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1899-06-22

dead is gradually increasing during
the day, and Tuesday night it seemed
that 100 might be the minimum esti-
mate of the dead. while the list Of the
injured will reach and perhaps exceed
200.
Finding the Dead.
During the afternoon Patrick kating,
The lI-y ear-old SON of Nat katiug, was
brought to the Catholic church. The
body was horribly mangled. y little
daughter of Mr. Williams was brought
to the same place from the ruins of her
fathers home near the railroad tracks.
Walter Farrell, boy, was also laid
among the dead in that church. Pat
McNaIly, who was injured, died dur
ing the day, and at late hour Tues
day afternoon the rescuers gathered to-
gcther most of the pieces of the man
gled body of Michael Hef1ron, and he
was added to the list of dead. During
the day scattered groups of rescuers
searched the debris where bodies might
be found.
Fire Adds Its Horrors.
A fire company kept two streams of
water pouring on the smoldcring ruins,
for fire had been added to the horrors
OF the tornado, and I dozen fires were
blazing till a heavy rain at the close
of the day eXtinguishcd the flames.
Some of the merchants organized a
salvage corps and managed to save
some property, but the amount was
small.
The Ruined City.
The business portion of the city COW
cred a space of four squares each way
and was solidly built of brick and
stone. This entire space was swept
clear, foundation walls and in some
places masses of debris alone marking
where the business places formerly
stood. Trees that had lined the streets
OF the neighboring residence district
were broken clear off and twisted and
uprooted.
As soon as the news OF the disaster
had reached the outside world offers
of help and help itself began to come
into the city. St. Paul, being the rail
road center to which New Richmond
was tributary, was first to learn of the
storm and its attendant woes, and with
in two or three hours sent the first re-
lief train with physicians, nurses, hos
pital supplies and commissary stores
for the people of the stricken city. \
second and a third train soon followed,
and speedily neighboring cities in Wis
cOnsin sent in all they could gather for
their needy sister city.
Estimate OF the Dead.
1t is the average resident of New
Richmond who estimates the loss of
life most seriously. They claim that
hundreds are missing who were buried
in the ruins and there incinerated.
One such is c. y. Nelson, who owned the
Columbian restaurant, located on Main
street. His estimate of the loss is 400
dead. He says that when the rainstorm,
which preceded the cyclone, broke, not
less than 20 persons rushed into his
place for shelter. He is positive that
not more than four besides himself es-
capped.
In the Congregational church, Is
bodies were laid out on the seats, and

were blown into the middle of the
street and the largest safe in the town
was carried across one street and half
way over the square beyond.
1t will be several days before the
number of dead in New Richmond is ac
curatcIy known. and it is doubtful if
! the entire number of fatalities will eycr
be chronicled. In the path Of the storm
both to the northeast and southwest
Of the city were scattered farmhOuscs,
and wherever they were struck by thar
awful wind there was nothing left but Il
pile of boards and twisted rafters. How
many were killed in these houses will
not be known for a long time.
A Total Loss.
1t is impossible to estimate the prop
erty loss, but it is total in the business,
part of the town, and, to make the blow
the more severe, not one policy of tor
nado insurance had been written for
the place. What is gone is gone beyond
repair. There is at present no desti-
| tuition among those who have suffered
| by the storm. st. Paul, Minneapolis.
| Chippewa Falls and other places have
sent in bountiful supplies, and there il
no suffering for food or necessities but
the business of the town is utterly
| wiped out of existence. and not one man
in the place will be able to resume busi.
ness.

4 Clean Sweep.

There never was n cyclone that made
a cleaner sweep of what lay in its path
than the one of Monday evening. In
the business portion of the town alb
solutcly not one building was left
standing above the cellar windows;
everything above foundation wall was
shaved as clean as though it had been
cut with a plane. Enormous iron safes

through the aisles throng surged in
search of their dead. The young wom-
en- of the church rendered ready assist
ance in caring for the dead and reliev-
ing the sufferings of the wounded. At
the Catholic church, a similar scene was
enacted. Here dozen bodies were laid
out, and some of them were awaiting
Identification. At noon several other
corpses were added to those already
there. In John Glidden's family only
one escaped injury. The family was in
the living rooms over the store on MaiB
street when the storm struck. Mrs.
John Glidden was killed. Mr.. Glidden,
John Glidden, Jr.; Mary, aged "a;
Charles, aged 16, and Ella, aged 10,
were all seriously hurt. Mary was car
ried a block from the house and alight-
ed at the edge of the mill pond. Many
bodies are thought ts be in this pond.
1t is believed the greatest mortality
in any one place occurred in the base
ment of the hardware store of Ward
Williams This store was one of the
prominent business corners, and when
the storm approached large number
of people fled to the basement and in an
instant were overwhelmed in the ruins.
Several bodies have already been taken
out. but it is estimated that fully a
dozen dead are still in the ruins. The
Hawkins family was in the second
story of their residence when the storm
broke and at once rushed for the cellar.
Before they could reach the first floor
the house was a mass of ruins and five
out of the six members of the family
were killed.

SURPRISED At CROPS HERE
RICE GROWERS OF LOUISIANA
DISCUSS HAWAII.
The Annual Yield Per Acre on the
Hawaiian Islands Regarded as Ex-
traordinary

A Louisiana visitor to the recent ex-
position at Omaha prints in the Jen-
ningS Times some interesting state
ments about rice -growing here and i'm
his state. He is S. l.. Cary, a Louisiana
delegate, who made Inquiries among
the Hawaiians regarding the methods
employed on these Islands.
1t appears that the results achieved
by the Chinese growers here were re-
garded as most extraordinary in Loui-
siana. I'VE tried to learn the secret
of the Chinaman's wonderful success"
says Cary, for no other mortal can
grow the amount per acre claimed to
be grown by them, four to six tons per
acre and two crops yearly.
This claim was made by intelligent
Hawaiians. My principal informant
was well educated, a rice mill maker
and owner, and a planter who buys
land and rents it to Chinese rice
growers; as no others could get these
marvellous results, except our man
Robinson of Illinois, who claims that he
got 200 bushels $50 bbls.) per acre in
Illinois, saying: The rice grown on
my farm had no water since the 18th
day of June except a few light show
ers. If l had been prepared to irrigate
it | would have surprised the world in
quantity and quality I mention these
as extreme yields that probably will
never happen again, but, if possible,
occur once in a generation"
The surprising success achieved here,
which is described at length, does not
prevent the writer from concluding his
article with the following: And after
very full information I am bold to say
that Southwest Louisiana can beat the
world growing rice al a profit"

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SEVERED.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is nothing
equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Only last week we examined the beef
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect Illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
Of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debilitation, and they can safely order
his beer, made by the Capital Brewing
