TORNADO STRIKES IOWA.
Several Towns and Large Farming
District Damaged.


Six persons injured and $50 900 in dam
ages to property was the result of the
work of two tornadoes that struck Iowa
Thursday night. The storms were one
hundred and fifty miles apart, one strik-
ing at Bayard, in Guthrie County, and
the other at the towns Of Weldon and
Van Meter, in Decatur County, in a
wealthy farming neighborhood.
The Bayard storm seems to have left
the ground after passing through the
town and Travelled fifteen miles without
doing further damage when it struck a
farming neighborhood north of Rippey,
and there demolished a school house and
many barns. a dozen farm houses in its
PATH which was 100 yards wide, were
wrecked and three members of one fam
lily residing east of Van Vert sustained
broken limbs. The storm blew with ter
rife force, and had it struck a more
thickly settled neighborhood would have
wrought great havoc.
When the tornado struck Bayard it de-
molished property of the value of 500, OOO
The storm path was a hundred yards
wide, and a dozen houses We're damaged,
the smaller ones being wrecked. The
station of the st. Paul road was destroy
ed and two large elevators standing along
the tracks were unroofed. David Har-
din was caught in the path Of the storm,
and fifteen minutes after it had passed
was found hanging to a tree. He was
unconscious all night, and in the morning
could not recall what happened to him.
Eye witnesses say that the tornado did
not occupy more than one minute in
passing through the town. The direc-
ton was west to east.
The tornado which strcuk Bayard
swept across the country and did great
damage to crops, farm buildings and ag-
ricultural interests. Following the wind
storm there was a deluge of rain, which
in some places reached nearly the pro-
portions of a waterspOut. The wind at
Coon Rapids reached a velocity of seven
ty miles an hour and a number of small
buildings were damaged.
Five persons were hurt in houses
wrecked by a tornado between Van Vert
and Weldon. The storm struck a mile
east of Van Vert and travelled northeast,
just missing Weldon. The injured peo-
pie were members of farmers families.
Two houses are reported blown to pieces.
From Weldon the storm continued in
northeaSterly direction and struck Wood
burn, where FIVE houses were blown
down or off their foundations. No lives
were lost at this place and no one was
injured.
Another severe windstorm is reported
to have taken place five miles north of
Rippey, and fifteen miles from Bayard.
The school house was destroyed and sew
eral barns were carried away and re-
duced to kindling wood

remain in bed as q rest cure for the weak
ness which he felt. He had no Fremont
ton Of danger, however, and up to the
time that he lost consciousness he talk
ed with the members of the family with
out reference to any apprehensions Of
death.
Mr.. Palmer died in his own room on
the second floor of his magnificent resi-
dence. At his bedside were Mrs. Palmer,
his two sons, Honore and Potter Palmer,
Jr., B. L. Honore, Adrian Honore and
Lockwood Honore, brothers of Mrs.
Palmer, and Mrs. B. L. Honore. Mr..
Palmer never rallied after he lost con-
seriousness.
Mr.. Palmer's illness was of considera-
BILE duration. He had gone to Switzer-
land in search of health and returned last
fall apparently restored. Stomach trou-
BILE, which had taken him abroad, was
relieved, and it is said that he looked
better than he had for years. But this
was only temporary, and ever since he
took slight cold last Christmas he had
been ailing. 1t was only a mild attack
Of the grip and dyspepsia, producing
some weakness, that troubled him, but
he found it hard to shake them off.
Mr.. Palmer sank so gradually. that the
family were not told of the death that
the doctors deemed almost inevitable uu-
til a short time before he breathed his
last. Two hours and half after he sank
into Inconsistencies he died. the passage
from life to death being almost imper-
ceptible. Mrs. Palmer and her sons were
Frustrated with grief.
Mr.. Palmer was undoubtedly one Of
the wealthiest men of the West. The
Palmer house was probably his largest

ADVISES WIVES TO KILL.
Chicago Judge Says Husbands Who
Beat Them Merit Death.

"a wife has perfect right to shoot
and kill the husband who beats her and
if she is afraid to do it her male rela-
tiyes ought to do it for her" Such was
the statement made by Judge Tuthill
of Chicago the other day in granting a
divorce to woman whose husband had
been in the habit of beating her.
THE right Of self-defense," continued
the Judge, sis the first law Of nature. 1t
is statutory law as we'll. If a powerful
man assaults a smaller man the latter
has a right to kill his assailant. This is
law among men. 1t is a law Of double
force when a weak, defenseless woman
is involved.
Il wish wives would learn to appreciate
their rights of seIf-defense and would
use them, too. If they did there would
be a deal less wife-beating in the world.
If, when woman is assaulted by
drunken brute Of a husband and cuffed
and kicked about like a dog, she took
gun and shot him she would be within
her rights under the law and all right
minded men would commend her for her
deed. Because a woman is married to
a man She does not forfeit her right to
protect herself from him if he proves
himself BRUTE"

AN ARMY OF HOME-SEEKERS.
The Northwest Invaded This Spring
by Imrni grants.

Statistics compiled by the railroads
show that for sixty days ending April y
no less than $1,000 homeseellers enter
ed the Northwest. They came from Eu-
rope and from the Eastern and South
ern States. OF these $4,000 have located
in North Dakota, 5000 in Washington
Idaho and Oregon, 10 900 in Minnesota
10000 in South Dakota, 1000 in Manito-
ba and 1000 in Montana. In another
month the figures are likely to be dou-
bled. Manitoba expects to add 10000
to her population, and northern Mime
sofa has reason to expect half that num-
Der through the arrival of foreign immi-
grants from Scandinavia and Finland.
North Dakota and Washington promise
to attract thousands more. There is no
indication of a falling off in the west
ward movement. Every week since the
excursions began has witnessed an in
crease, last weeks movement through St.
Paul alone, reaching the high figure Of
5000 homeseekers and 1000 cars of
freight.
The immigration this spring exceeds
that of any previous year, and may be
accounted for on several grounds. The
generally good crops have had much to

The moderate price of land enables the
Eastern farmer to sell out and re-engage
in business where the yields are greater,
the labor is less and the markets are bet
ter More than forty new towns have
been created in the Western States in the
past year, developing the mercantile in
terests and the local markets for pro-

While there is vet room for two or
three million people in the Northwestern
States now being settled up, it is not
unlikely that the next great rush will
be for the vacant land west Of the Mis-
souri, river, now practically without any
settlement between that stream and the
Black Hills.

FREIGHT RATES ARE RAISED.
Advance in Transportation Means
Rise in Price of All Products.

An agreement to raise freight rates on
live stock, dressed beef, and all packing
house products, and grain and -four, was
entered into by the executive officers of
western railroads at a meeting held the
other day at the headquarters of the
western trunk lines committee in Chi
cago.
The result of this agreement will be an
increase in profit to the railroads and
consequently the same increase in the
cost to consumers of the chief necessi-
ties of life All roads will make an adj
vance of cents per 100 pounds on these
food products, making the rate from Mis-
souri, river points to Chicago 231a cents.
While that has been the nominal rate Of
the railroads for years all Of them paid
the principal packers a rebate of cents
per 100 pounds.

aire Ends Suddenly.
Potter Palmer, known throughout the
civilized world as one Of the coterie of
millionaires instrumental in the financial
development of Chicago, died unexpected
ly of oedema of the lungs Sunday after
noon at his residence on Lake Shore
drive. Surrounded by the members OF
his family, he passed quietly from life
without apparent pain and unconscious
of the approach of death. He was born
in 1926, and had lived in Chicago for
more than half a century.
Up to 3 o'clock in the afternoon no
member of the family had the slightest
intimation that Mr.. Palmer was in dam
ger, although he had been i'll for three
weeks. A week previous his physician
told him he might leave his bed if he
wished, but Mr.. Palmer determined to

THURSDAY, MAY /, 1902.

THE Republican voters of Garrett
county have recently been furnished
with a morsel that is not very juicy
or sweet to their political palates.
Through several articles lately pub
lished in THE REPUBLICAN, of Oak
land, it has come to light that Gar
rett county's share in public patron
age is not at all in proportion to the
amount of work she has been doing
for party success. The fealty and
loyalty of the Republican voters of
this county to their ticket have never
been questioned, but the fealty and
loyalty of county, district and State
representative to the rank and file of
the party admit of serious doubt.
From these articles one naturally
concludes that there is "a niger in
the political wood pile" and has been
for sometime past growing blacker
and greasier all the while. The party
men have commenced to gap and
stretch themselves, preparatory to a
good awakening, when that 'niggah''
must come out of the wood pile or
get terrible roasting.-Bloomington
