TORNADO STRICKEN,
Two Towns In Wisconsin Wiped
Entirely Out.

Hundreds of persons killed, other
hundreds mashed, bruised, crippled
for life hundreds of thousands of
dollars of property destroyed I; the
result of tornadoes in Wisconsin.
New Richmond, Wis, village
of 1000 inhabitants, was RACED by
the storm and soon afterwards was
in flames. Many Of the injur' d
persons pinned in the wreckage
undoubtedly persisted by fire. The
town was crowded with people. who
had come from the surrounds &
country to see circus showing
there. and this fact added to the
destruction of life caused by the
storm. All the hotels of the village
were filled with guests.
Damage to railroads and telegraph
and telephone lines is widespread.
The running OF trains has been IN
terfered with and communication
with points in the path of the storm
cut off. Latest reports estimate
the loss of life ut New Richmond at
$50 and some put the figures as
high as 500. Throughout the region
of the storm crops have been de-
stroved. Grain has been torn out
by the roots or beaten into the soil
Trees have been uprooted or snap
ped off like straws. Fields and roads
have been flooded and sections OF
railroad on all lines passing through
the storm section washed out.
Another tornado developed in the
West and the village of Herman,
Neb., was literally wiped out. The
fatalities are undoubtedly numer-

Friend Melt is with a heavy
heart that l undertake TO give you
short explanation of how our dear
friend was taken from us. We were
all camped at the pass, and yester-
day morning Dobbs picked up the
castnet to catch some mullet and
walked down the beach and when
he reached the point where the
Gulf runs around he wnded out up
to his waist and threw the net
which / think pulled him into deep
water and the current carried him
out about fifty or seventy-fve yards
where he sank. We could do moth
ing for him, the boat wasn't near
and we go back today to try to re-
cover his body and will likely re-
main here a day or two.

THR CHILDREN IN SPAIN.

A lady, a college professor, now In
Spain, has written a letter to the New
York Times" describing the children
in Madrid She says that in the parks
the children play gayly, and are very
noisy. They fly kites, play crack'the-
whip, tag, aud leap-trog; they also
use the sling, and play soldier, using
pewter swords "a favorite plaything
with Spanish boys. The little girls jump
the rope, roll hoops, and dance, teach

toy theRters, dolls being arranged to
take the place Of actors. Recently
one family Of Spanish children made a

ish and some American war vessels.
The Spanish war vessels were sunk,
because these children ''prefer to play

The children Of Madrid are very
greatly interested in the King Of Spain,
