Omaha, Neb., June lathe tornado

place not long after the storm, and he
says not building is left standing in
town. He counted IL dead bodies lying
in the streets. The fatalities will I'M
doubtedly run up to hundred, if not
higher.
The scene in the streets of the
once thriving and beautiful little town
is one of destruction. Wrecked build
ings and broken furniture scarce rec
ognizable in it's dilapidated condition
are strewn all around, while dead
bodies lie in many places, the corpses
badly disfgured and some of them
hardly recognizable. The means of the
injured mingle with the calls Of the
rescuers as they pursue their humani-
tartan task in the darkness by the
Pickering CLEANS of lanterns. The re-
lief train from Blair arrived about an
hour after the storm, and the work of
picking up the wounded was begun.
Willing hands did what they could to
help the injured, and in the course of
an hour the train pulled out for Blair
with IS injured on board. They were
taken to Blair, as there is absolutely
no place left at Herman at which treat
ment can be administered.

Appeals for Help.
Milwaukee, June 14.-The following
telegram has just been received from
Congressman John J. Jenkins from
New Richmond, Wis.,, addressed to the
governor and chamber of commerce:
1.-The city wiped out by storm. Every
business building and contents and over
half the dwellings and contents total loss.
Many hundred dwellings and contents
partly injured. Over 100 wounded. Forty
dead bodies, many missing and ruins burn
ing. Local people making heroic efforts
and giving freely of what little they have
left They can be furnished for a short
time, but with few exceptions no food or
clothing. Not an article of goods, wares or
merchandise left by noon. There will not
be mouthful to eat; must have immediate
relief; will require aid for some time Not
a coffin or article to bury the dead. Prac-
tically restitution prevails. Will you noti-
fy the public and ask them that aid be
forwarded as soon as possible"
Gov. Scofield's Proclamation.
Madison, Wis.,, June 14.-Gov. Sco-
field Tuesday issued a proclamation
calling upon the people of Wisconsin
to come to the aid of the calamity
stricken people at New Richmond. The
supplies or money collected should be
sent as promptly as possible to Maj.
NJ. R. Doyon, at New Richmond, whom
the governor has appointed to take
charge of relief until local committees
are able to do it.

Charles, aged Is, and Ella. aged 10,
were all seriously hurt. Mary was car
ried block from the house and alight-
cd at the edge of the mill pond. Many
bodies are thought to be in this pond.
It 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 fed 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
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 mass of ruins and five
out of the six members of the family
were killed.
A Clean Sweep.
There never was cyclone that made
cleaner sweep of what lay in it's path
than the one of Monday evening. In
the business portion of the town alb
solutely 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 plane. Enormous iron safes
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.
It will be several days before the
number of dead in New Richmond is ac-
curately known, and it is doubtful if
the entire number of fatalities will ever
be chronicled. In the path of the storm
both to the northeast and southwest
of the city were scattered farmhouses,
and wherever they were struck by that
awful wind there was nothing left but a
pile of boards and twisted rafters. How
many were killed in these houses will
not be known for a long time.
A Total Loss.
It 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

Revised figures prepared by the Rail-

Revised figures prepared by the Rail-
road Gazette show the total mileage of
new roads built in the United States in
1898 to be 3,625 miles. These figures do
not include second track and sidings.
This is an increase of some 400 miles
over estimate made at the beginning
lot the year. But even these latest fig
lres are probably too small to repre-
sent the entire increase in mileage
smade in the whole cous last year.

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 I'M
known, but it will certainly reach 100,
and very probably will considerably ex-
coed 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 capt.
tai, were of great help, all night and
day, and when the day closed all the
seriously injured 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
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.
