IN regard TO the County bin. The mat

dress by Hon. David Kalauokalani.
He briefly stated the progress made
in the presentation of the measure

pronounced the best means by which
the party could command recognition

That Long-FeIt want.

The long-suffering man was trying
to read, when, with a crash and a roar,
the train left the rails. Down, down,
down it went. The seat on which the
long-suffering man sat shut up like a
~iackknife, and caught him in it's tena-
cious embrace.
The seat opposite rose up and smote
him in the side. The steam pipes hiss
ed and coiled themselves upon his
breast. Then all was silent.
The long-suffering man tried to
move. First one foot, then the other,
was firmly embedded in the debris;
his arms were pinioned in the wreck
age. 1t was dark and still. The long
suffering man nestled his cheek on the
cool surface of a p~lateglass mirror,
and heaved a sigh of relief.

And a blessed silence reigned.-

WINDSTORM.
Store Fronts in st. Paul Blown In
Played Havoc with Wood
mems Camp.

ST. Paul, Mimi, June IA terrific
wind and rainstorm swept across this
city and vicinity this afternoon. The
store fronts were blown in, streets
flooded, many sidewalks being carried
away and for some time business vas
generally suspended.
Several electric feed wires burned
out, blocking street car traffic. Light
ming set fire to the residence of Chris
johnson, in McBeal street, destroying
it. Several other dwellings were
struck.
The storm played havoc at Camp
N~orthcott, stopping all drilling by the
Woodmen teams. Tents were flooded
and many blown down. One tent in
which were 20 women went down with
a crash, and the much-soaked party
were rescued by a contingent of Kan
sas City and Missouri men, but fortu-
nately one was severely injured. Ev-
erything about the camp was thor.
cughly soaked.
In Minneapolis the storm broke a
little earlier in the afternoon, and did
much damage. the First C~ongrega-
tional church being damaged 81, 900 by
lightning.
