SIOUX CITY. Ia, June 26.-(special Tele-
gram Alarming storm reports from South
Dakota have reached Sioux City, but on
account Of the condition Of the telegraph
and telephone wires 1t has been impossible
to secure accurate information as to the
damage done.
South Dakota was swept by a terrific
wind storm during the night. The rumor
is that three people were killed at Hudson
and one report has 1t that thirty people
lost their lives at Alcester, but little faith
is placed in the latter reports. Many
buildings were overturned and otherwise
damaged.
At Sioux Center Ia. the loss will be
close to $4,000. The First Dutch Reform
church was wrecked and the hardware store
Of Sneller & Johnson was blown TO pieces.
Shade trees two feet In diameter were
broken OF like reeds. No one was fatally
hurt The Terwiller elevator and Demot's
livery barn were totally wrecked.
At Maurice. Ia, considerable damage TO
trees and small buildings is reported.

Private information from Buckingham

the king had rather a worse night than

1O:S0 o'clock this morning.
The exodus OF the coronation embassies
already has commenced. The next two or
three days doubtless will see the departure
OF all but one or two and these will close

WANAMAKER KEPT PRIZE.

Result of Sunday School Competition
That Made Rich Merchant Sick.
That John Wanamaker, the million
aire merchant and former postmaster
general Of the United States, superin-
tends Sunday school in addition to
his interests is current history, but
there is chapter in that history which
hitherto has not been published, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t is called
the story Of the prize which was never
awarded. Mr.. Wanamaker's school had
convened as usual on a bright Sunday
morning, and Mr.. Wanamaker an
nounced before recitations that he
would confer a substantial money prize
upon the pupil who gave the best an
1sWer to the following question: Whom
do you love above all others? p
Upon the announcement q numberof
little hands went up. Mr.. Wanamaker
selected one OF the children and said,
"Well. whom do you love bestg'
It was little girl, who replied, Il
love my brother best
Mr.. Wanamaker was much pleased.
He said that the love of a sister for
her brother was one of the sweetest 'af-
fections, because as long as brothers
and sisters loved one another there.
could not be discord in families. Then
he asked the little girls name.
"Bessy Crawford she replied.
Then he propounded the question to
boy.
81 love my parents best" the lad re-
piled.
Mr. Wanamaker was. once more high
" pleased and spoke at length upon
the fourth commandment and the les
son derived therefrom. This little boy
when asked his name said that it was
Eddie Brady.
The next answer was from boy
who had been impatiently attempting
to attract Mr.. Wanamaker's attention
ever since the announcement of ethe
prize. At last the boy was asked,
'.And whom do you love best. my boy %
II love our Redeemer the best of
ALL" was the answer.
"Ah!' exclaimed Mr.. Wanamaker.
''That is the answer, for it embraces
all the others. . In a really eloquent
speech the former cabinet member
pointed out that the love of the Re-
deemer was the idealization of all
Christianity and eulogized the spirit
which had prompted the answer. Final

which w3>.iG lave done honor to any
pulpit or clergyman, Mr.. Wanamaker

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
New System of Electric Signals to Be
Tested.

Rockford, Ills, Jan. 1.-THE Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois railroad is
preparing to install system of cleo
trio signals designed to prevent acct
dents.
The new device displays a signal in
the cab of the locomotive. The track
is wired in blocks, the rail being used
as the conductor. When there is but
one train in block the signal in the
cab will burn white. Should another
train touch the same block the light is
instantly changed to red, which means
danger. The signal is not affected by
snow or sleet or by weather of any
kind and it will do it's work among a
maze of switches and crossings as well
as on a straight single track.

MONEY FOR INDIANS.
Michigan Reds to Be Paid for Chicago
Lands.

Hartford, Mich, Jan. 1.-THE mem

wattomie Indians have been. notified
by their secretary, J. Cushway, that
Chicago men will be at Dowagiac this
week to pay each of them the first 800

This will mean great deal to the IN
dians, as each child will draw this sum
as well as the older members and the
winter is always hard on the Indians
as they are not a very. strong people,
The agreement referred to is a pur-
chase of so-ealled equities of the IN
dians in a large tract of land on the
lake front at and near Chicago.

TARIFF MEASURE.
AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT
Duty to Be Collected on Philippine Ar

Duty Charged on Such Articles
When Shipped From the islands.

When Shipped From the Islands.
washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
committee on the Philippine islands
had under consideration the house
Philippine tariff bill, but upon the re-
quest of the Democratic members
for more time adjourned until next
Monday without reporting the bill.
All the amendments suggested by
the Republican members were adopted.
The most important of these amend
per cent the rate of duty collected up
on Philippine articles coming into the
United States and also provides for a
further reduction equivalent to the
export duty charged on such articles
when shipped from the Philippines.
The rs per cent reduction is accom-
plished by providing for the payment
of 70 per cent of the duty required by
the Dingley tariff act. The provision
concerning the export duty is as fol-
lows:
'"The rates Of duty which were re-
QulICu uSIOLOlOIS 70 US 4SF1Su anu COl-
lected upon products of the Philippine
archipelago coming into the United
States shall be less any duty or taxes
levied or collected therein upon the
expectation thereof from the Philip
pine archipelago as provided by the
act of the United States commission
under such rules and regulations as
the secretary of the treasury may pre-
scribe"
Another amendment permits the en-
ployment of foreign vessels in the
inter-island traffic as well as in the
traffic between the United States and
the islands.
Still another amendment strikes out
the house provision authorizing the
Withholding Of the cost of. collecting
Philippine taxes and duties, thus re-
quiring the gross amount instead of
the net amount to be deposited in the
special Philippine fund.

First Worlds Fair to Be Held In
Osaka Two Years Hence.
N Kanzaki, Japan's special commits
sioner of foreign exhibits for the fair
at Osaka in 1903, will shortly arrive in
the United States from Germany and
exert his efforts to interest American
manufacturers in Japan's enterprise,
say the New York Times. According to
interviews that he has given abroad, it
is his intention to have the United
States, Germany and Great Britain
meet as industrial rivals at Osaka from
March, 1903, to the end of the follow
ing July.
Hitherto Industrial exhibitions in ia
pan, which have for many years been
held at the periods of twice decade,
have been exclusively national in char
acter, and, although the coming fair at
Osaka will display japanese manufac-
turers at their best, it is also the inten-
ton of the government to encourage
competition among them by showing
what European and American manu-
facturers have accomplished.
What Japan is most anxious to have
exhibited at Osaka is what Germany.

Mechanical Stocking.

This invention is not in any sense a
new one, as is to be learned from the
fact that Jnmes Watt took out patent
in 1785 for such a device. The me-
chanical stoker is of English origin,
though it has been very thoroughly
developed in the United States to suit
the local fuel and boiler furnace con-
ditions. 1t may be defined as system
of CRATE bars, dumping bars, coal feed
ers and automatic devices to feed fuel
and control its combustion. AS fuel
for the human furnace, golden grain
belt beer is excellent. It contains the
strength of bread and meat in LIQUID
form, easily digested. Order of the
nearest dealer or be supplied by Henry

John N. Berg's Exciting Experience.

John N. Berg, former Minneapoli-

his first experience in railr DAD smash
up Saturday, Sept. q. He was pas

Red Wing to Rochester. At four miles
north OF zumbrota the train was de-
rallied on sharp curve. The engine
and caboose escaped destruction, but
the balance of the train was demol-
ished. No one was seriously injured,
but all hands were greatly shaken up
and they got an idea of catastrophe
that ''might have BEEN" John says
the experience was thrilling and he
does not care to take chances on an
other such mixup.-South Minneapolis

Big Wyanett SDuds.

Bill Thomas who farms across the
line in Wyanett, came into town last
Friday with some of the finest looking
potatoes that have been seen for some
time. Bill is no SLOUGH when it comes
to raising potatoes. He farms by
combination system of theory and prac-
tlce, with an emphasis on the last
word. He says that he takes an inter-
est in the potato from the time he
gives the good healthy seed stock a
treatment for scab until the new stock
is turned over to the dealer. Last
Thursday his potato digging quartet
made record of 3O6 bushels of pota-
toes in nine hours, and Bill thinks this
is good days work in the potato field
for four good healthy men. The day
before Geo. Farwell bossed the crew
and made record of 200 bushels, but
when on the following day the old man
took charge he went in for a record
and made it with the unanimous con-
sent OF the men. Geo. Farwell, Otto
Buckingham aud Mr.. Thomas son
made up the crew. The potatoes dug
were the late Rose and were great big
fellows, clean and smooth and showed
care and cultivation. Mr.. Thomas says
that he takes the greatest pains to
have his seed of good quality, large
and clean and he always gives the seed
stock scab treatment. After they are
planted he cultivates and cultivates
until the vines show up pretty we'll and

With the increases as ordered there
will be quite change in the assess
ment rolls of the real and personal
property of the county. But Mile Laos
county was no exception to the rule, az
the State board was no respector of
persons nor counties and raised the
valuations where it thought it was
necessary. The original returns of the
real estate of the town of Borgholm
will look like thirty cents after having
been increased 100 per cent by the
county board and then have forty per
cent added by the State board.
The State board passed resolution
requesting the State auditor to secure
from the county auditors and to pre-
sent to the State board at its session in
1903 lists of the assessments made in
each county in 1908 of personal prop
erty amounting to over $1,000 in the
following classes: goods and merchan-
disc of merchants, material and manu-
featured articles of manufacturers,
manufacturers tools, implements and
machinery, and such property as is
listed as ''all other property" not in
cluded in any of the designated sched-
ules of the personal property returns.
