here and there in search of shelter,
only to be struck down by flying
timers and buried in the ruins of
some building. Many succeeded
in reaching stores and dwelling
houses, but they we're like rats
caught in a trap. The shrieks and
groans Of the people, mingled with
those of the animals, added to the
distressing scene. Those who
were fortunate enough to escape
serious injury were so pinned be-
tween timbers or buried in the
debris that they were unable to
assist the less fortunate. To COM
plete the work of destruction,
stoves were overturned, setting fire
to the piles of dry timbers, and
burning alive those imprisoned
beneath them.
The storm ragged for less than
an hour, yet what destruction and
death was wrought in that brief
space: happy homes were demol-
ished, and families broken up by
death. And when the storm had
subsidized and the lurid heavens lit
up the CHASTITY scene, the worst
was not yet over. Those who were
able, extricated themselves from
the ruins and ran for aid. Half
crazed parents called, and often in
vain, for their children; and help
less children saw their fathers and
mothers killed within touch of
them.
But help was soon at hand, and
as many as possible were rescued
from their awful condition. Few
we're able to realize the magnitude
of the storm, but wondered aim
lessly about in a dazed state. As
many Of the injured as possible
were cared for in the town. The
dead were carried to various
churches and later buried. Day
after day the dark procession
moves from the churches, carrying
the unfortunate to their last rest
ing place: mothers and fathers
whose children lie injured in dis
tant hospitals ere buried side by
side.
The work of rescue goes on, but
it is safe to say that it will be
weeks or even months before all
the missing are accounted for and
the loss can be approximately esti-
mated. E. l.. r.

D. w. K.


Monday the 18th dawned bright
and beautiful upon the pretty lit
tie town of New Richmond, Wis,
with no forebodings of the awful
fate that awaited it before night
fall. The good people went about
their daily routine as usual; the
workingmen hurrying here and
there to their employments; the
women-folks busying themselves
with their never ending house.
work; and the happy school chill
dren, eager to ENJOY their hard
earned vacation, were up bright
and early.
But how little those honest men
thought that perhaps they we're
going to their work the last time;
how little those loving mothers
and fond sisters imagined that
they we're performing perhaps
their last spread, and how little
those bright-faced children sup
posed that the great doors of the
school-house had closed upon them
perhaps forever, and their longed-
for vacation would be eternity.
The sun was indeed warm at
noon, driving the people from the
streets to seek shelter from it's hot
rays into the stores. But later in
the day, the atmosphere became
close and sitting, with scarcely
breeze to stir the leaves or fan the
faces of the weary people.
It was circus day in New Rich
mond, and the crowds of people
who had come from elsewhere to
witness the performance, were now
focking out of the great tents.
Suddenly the sky began to cloud,
it became dark and hot, and great
drops Of rain fell, increasing in
size and number as the rain con-
tinued; then apparently ceased.
The rain was followed by breeze,
which soon developed into small
hurricane The people were now
thoroughly frightened, and ran
from their homes and shops, scan
ming the skies auxiously.
1t grew darker and darker, the
rain began once more, and a great
sound like that Of an approaching
locomotive was heard coming from
the southwest. The awful truth
now dawned upon the people, and
they had scarcely time to reach
shelter before the storm was upon
them, sweeping everything before
it. Beautiful stores and residences
in the path Of the storm were
utterly destroyed as if made of
paper. Trees were either snapped
in two, or torn up roots and all,
while animals were mown down
like grain before the reaper.
Frightened people ran blindly

Archbishop Ireland on his re-

There is at San Francisco a new
club formed. It is called the Di-
vorced Mems Club of Alameda,
and its purpose is to save good
fellows from the so-called error of
matrimony. While we do not
agree with the intention, yet there
may be some merit in club of
this kind. It will enable the fair
sex to know who they are, and
thus enable them to keep away
from their company. When men
are divorced usually some cause is
apparent as between both parties.
Matrimony is Sacred thing and
should not be entered into too
freely. The true element required
for mutual happiness is for the
husband to do his best to please
his wife; and then the wife willydo
her best to please her husband,
and under those circumstances
there would be no need for divorce.
