Chicago, April 27-For the first

there is much rivalry between the two

Indians and cowboys were in the midst
of their performance The inclosure was
filled with people mostly women and
children There was wild scramble for
the exit. The poles were falling in every
direction, and John Howard. a boy, was
struck by flying tent support. His
skull was fractured by the blow. BY the
merest change no one else was seriously
hurt. Every tent on the block was flat
tened to the ground.
A laundry building at the corner of
Western avenue and Aldrich collapsed as
a result of the winds fury. Holley c.

Horses and buggies were overturned by
the wind and runaways were innumer-
able. A covered laundry wagon on Hen

street, dragging a helpless horse with it.
Scenes like this were to be found on
every street in the downtown district.
Shortly before the storm struck,
Weather Observer Outram remarked that
it was a splendid cyclone afternoon.
Fifteen minutes later the miniature cy-
clone came to prove the weather proph-
cts representation. The thunder and
lightning were most severe There was
one succession of zigzag flashes and
sharp reports. It was not the snowy
heat lightning, but the kind that strikes
and the fire department was kept busy
responding to calls in all sections of the
city. Shortly after the storm started, a
great mass of bricks and cornicework
fell from the Temple court building. and
terrified tenants rushed from their Of
fees to the elevator. All thought that
lightning had struck the building 1t
was the wind trying to make debris of
the big structure. The brick and mortar
fell TO the sidewalk and street with an
awful CHATTER, pounded one poor horse to
death and demolished the buggy For
tunately no one was standing on the
sidewalk.
After paying it's attentions to the bust
ness section of the city the wind crossed
the river and twisted great trees and
branches as if they had been straws.
Considerable damage was done in the
milling and elevator districts. Sheds and
outhouses were brushed aside as the
storm hastened to make its exit
The rain came down In sheets during
the whole storm, and the streets looked
more like raging rivers than paved
thoroughfares. Cellars We're filled with
water in many blocks, and business men
and owners of residences report much
damage.
Darkness gathered as soon as the
storm appeared, and through the glare
of continuous lightning great, amending
sheets of rain could be seen dashing
against the high buildings and beating
big plate glass windows with an awful

Third Vice President of Northern
Pacific Says They Are Excellent


Prospects for an extraordinary heavy

Northern Pacific are excellent" said ].
NJ. Hannaford, general traffic manager,
yesterday. 'The acreage is larger than
last year, and the growth is reported to
be unusually heavy. 1t is tco early to
predict that the crops in the Northwest
will be OF a record-breaking order, for
it is long time to the middle of Au-
gust, when harvesting will commence.
Speaking generally, however, 1 am safe
in saying that the prospects for this
tine of the year were never better.
There has been plenty of moisture,
almost enough in fact for the season.
and the grain has come out so thick.y
that the ground is shaded, thus render
ing it safe from cracking. Still, hot
" nds. hail, or an early frost in August
may change the complexion OF the
situation completely, and l think it is
too early to beg n figuring on a bumper
