houses and other buildings

Havoc Also Caused I'm Iowa.

Omaha, Neb., May ga special to
the Bee from Chamberlain, S. d., says:
Word reached town Sunday afternoon
of a disastrous and fatal cyclone which
passed over the country in the vicinity
of Biiou hills, 25 miles south of this city,
Saturday afternoon between four and
five o'clock, resulting in the death of
seven persons and the serious injury
of two others. The killed are: Charles
Peterson and six children, the latter be-
ing four boys and three girls, ranging
from three to fifteen years old. The
wife and two emaining children were
so badly injured they may also die.
The cyclone formed on section in
plain view of hundreds and moved in
a southerly course, the first place
reached being that of Ara Coden, which
was totally destroyed. The storm then
destroyed church and a schoolhouse,
after which ii reached the Peterson
place, where the execution done was
simply appalling.
Strewn All Over.
The dead and injured were strewn
all about the premises, all being bruised
and manned in shocking manner,
while the buildings were smashed to
splinters.
After doing its worst here, the cy-
clone destroyed the Criegor premises,
then passing into the range of
hills, skirting the Missouri river,
where ii appears to have been dissolved.
The path covered by the storm was
only about 20 rods wide and about
three miles in length. The wind was
accompanied by a heavy fall of rain
and hail, the latter being as large as
goose eggs. The cyclone was fearfully
destructive. everything in its course be-
ing completely destroyed, a large
amount of stock also being killed.
A Heavy Loss.

the Bee from Central City, Neb., says:
Probably the most destructive cyclone

r Manila, May 29.-The approach of the
wet season finds the insurrection SEEM
ingly taking a new lease of life. All
along the American lines the rebels are
showing more aggressive activity, in
their guerrilla style, than at any time
before since the fall of Malolos. They
keep the United States troops in the
trenches, sleeping in their clothing and
constantly on the alert against dashes
upon our outposts, and they make life
warm for the American garrisons in the
towns. The bands of Gen. Luna and
Gen. Mascardo, which retreated toward
Tarlac when they feared they would be
caught between Gen. Macarthur and
Gen. Lawton, have returned in force to
their old trenches around San Fer
nando, where there are daily COLI

When Commissioner Trowbridge was
here last he told the editor and others
that he never expected to attend anoth-
er meeting of the board, for the reason
that he had sold his place and expected
to leave the state before spring. I'm
der those circumstances it seems to us
that he should have at least given his
constituents a chance to elect his sue
cessor. But no, the politicians know
the people protest against the present
administration, and to save their necks
they prevail upon Trowbridge to not
resign until after election, when the re-
publican officers can make the appoint
ment. If the fusion ticket is elected
the resignation viii be rendered at once
SOFAS TO that far defeat the will of the
people. 1t is a pretty scheme but we
never supposed Trowbridge would lend
himself to such n dirty piece of politics
and in a great measure disfranchise his
own constituents. The old boat is
leaking.

The only ''answer" the Valentine
News-Democrat al give to the ques-
tons in regard to Mr.. Alder's fitness
for district judge pIopoun;led by The
Journal is to quote the following from
the Star-Journal; mo man ever knew
MIR. Alder tt betray a client or to relax
his efforts in a clients behalf until the
case was finally decided" Our in
telligent contemporary gives this as a
reason why he should not be elected
Brother Goods candor is refreshing, to
say the least. We are led to infer from
his remarks that if l.. K. Alder did be-
tray his clients AMI ha5itually neglected
their interests, he would not be Op-
posed by III 20 friends Longtime

The above is commended to our
readers as Il fair sample of the logic
emp!o, ed by the republican newspapers.
The pucrility of the arguments used
and t, o twisting of u remarks in re-
gard to Mr.. Alder would be amusing if
they were not so silly. The Star-Jour-
nal said mo man ever knew MIR. Alder

until the case was finally decided" and
this is "a compliment to HIM as d law
yer, and mt which we can heartily en-
dorse, but if, as the Inference undoubt-
eddy intended to be conveyed is, he ex-
poets to continue his defense of sup
posed criminals even if elected to the
bench. then tie compliment becomes
an accusation. and should result in Al
der's defeat at the polls. 1t is this
tenacity of prejudice on MIR. Alder's
part that most seriously effects his
chances of election; the people want a
liberal man, a just man, an honest
man, and a God fearing man On the
bench They want a man whose hands
are clean, and one who has not been
associated with corporations and Grim

and while we believe he is naturally
honest, the "A years he has given to the

charity's sake; we don't ask it because
nobody else is eligible; we don't ask it
alone because she is a woman; we don't
ask it because of the money the office
spends with the printer; we don't ask it
on political grounds alone; but we do
ask it because she is better qualified

If republicans are such liberal people
if they are so honest, if they are so
conscientious, why did the republican
county clerk refuse to let the representa-
i've Of the fusionists look at the copy,
and a sample Of the ballots to be used
this fall, before 1t was too late to correct
any errors? We now charge Clerk
Danials with having deliberately DISC
beyed the instructions Of the secretary
of state in the preparation of the ballots
for this county. We further charge
that he violated ell law and precedent
in addition to the rules of country in
refusing to allow these public papers
to be examined by the legal representa-
tive of the f~usiorist. And this is the
same man who expects to be elected
again this fall. Democrats AMI popu-

nominee is the moral equal and the

every one on the ticket will fcarles$ly
