TORNADO TUESDAY NIGHT
Des.h and Destruction Mark the
Storms Pathway Through
Central Illinois.
THREE YOUNG WOMEN KILLED At MERNA
rorty or Fifty Others Injured,
C.used BY the Destruction of the
Town Hall, Where u Dance Was
,,Progress-BloOmington 4, and VI
ciuity Caught 1t Badly.

Bloomington, H., June l2.-Death
and destruction followed in the wake
~ the worst tornado, Tuesday night,
.hat has ever visited central Illinois.
The wind wrought ruin and woe and
the property loss will be tens Of
tbousands of dollars. There is no
wav really of estimating the loss at
nresent, owing TO the uncertainty as
TO the effect ON the growing crops,
which, it is feared, suffered heavily.
The saddest feature, however, was
the killing of three young women
who were attending a dance at the
town hall of Merna. n small village
ten miles east of this city. There
was a party Of 250 young men and
women at the dance in the hall when
tbe tornado struck the building
about II o'clock. Everybody rushed
for the door. A number Of young men
held the doors to prevent the people
from escaping, fearing that they
might be injured or killed if they got
outside, About half Of them, how
ever, escaped and then the building
collapsed. The others were buried
In the wreck,
Killed and Injured.
Three were killed and 40 or so
others more or less injured, some OF
them seriously.
The dead are:
Miss Lena Jahagam, Mrs. Edward
Martin and Miss Anna Kelly. All are
daughters Of prominent farmers in
the vicinity. The bodies were horri-
bly, mutilated by the heavy timbers.
Quite a number of young men and
women were taken from the ruins in
an unconscious condition and some
Of them are still in that state, and 1t
Is feared there may be other deaths.
The storm struck Merna with the
greatest fury-greater than any 9th
er place in the county. Many of the
finest houses and barns were de-
stroyed.
The storm At Bloomington.
The storm reached Bloomington
about II p, m, commencing with
furious electrical display. Rain ac-
companied the wind and the business
district suffered severely. Many plate
glass windows were blown in and the
stocks Of goods were badly damaged.
Hundreds Of the best trees in the city
were broken of at the trunks and
the streets were almost impossible
Telegraph and telephone poles were
broken short of and the wires added
to the blockade, Buildings all over
the city were damaged, but no lives
were lost nor was anyone seriously
injured. A man standing on West

hundred feet but escaped with only
bruises Wesleyan university, just on

FIFTEEN LIVES WIPED OUT,
terrible Effects OF Tornado Which Passed
Through Clay and Becker Coun-
ties, Mlnn.

st. Paul Mimi, June 10.-A torna-
do OF marked severity prevailed last
evening over sections Of Clay and
Becker counties and across the
southern portions Of the White Earth
Indian reservation. 1t is reported
that Is lives were lost, many persons
injured and great damage done to
farm property, many dwellings, barns
and outbuildings being destroyed.
The region throughout which the
storm prevailed is comparatively
sparsely settled and remote from tel
egraphic communication, and the de-
tails Of the storm are, therefore, mea-
ger.
The storm seems to have first
struck northwest of the town Of Ulen,
in Clay county, whence it travelled
southeasterly across the northern
part of Becker county, striking the
towns of Foss, Atlanta and Walworth,
"i'hS 'il' l'Ntl Nuu VI lIlt w III lt
Earth reservation.
At Atlanta, large Norwegian
Lutheran church was completely de-
molished, and number of other
buildings partially wrecked The
path of the storm was about a mile
and a half wide and from thirty to
fifty miles in length. Up to a late
hour tonight it has been impossible
to verify the report from the White
Earth agency that Is people were
killed on the reservation by the tor
nado.
The report came from CORE
spondent who is usually reliable, but
the telephone Office at the agency has
closed for the night, and no details
can be obtained. A great deal of live
stock was killed by the collapse OF
buildings. The property damage
from the effects of the storm is
roughly estimated at 100000.

MILES MUST GO.
Enforced Retirement Of the General
Is a Certainty.

Enforced Retirement Of h General
IL q Certainty.
Washington, April 15.-The issues are
fairly Joined between the lieutenant
general and the secretary Of war. The
troubles which began long ago under
the Cleveland administration have
finally reached so critical a stage that
the compulsory retirement of Gen.
Miles at an early date is an open secret
andAs not denied at h White House.
In explanation of President Roosevelt's
position one of his close friends. who
unquestionably speaks by authority.
says: 1.-THE question is not a personal
one between Gen. Miles and Secretary
Root. At present Secretary Root has
on his shoulders a heavier burden than
any other member of the administra-
ton. No nan less strong could carry 1t
at all: and now, at the very time when
he requires the most loyal support OF
every subordinate who wishes we'll to
the army and the ration, he has to
spend much Of his strength in meeting
the OPPOSITION of the commanding gen.
eral. If Gen. Miles is retired 1t will be
simply because after patient trial Pres
ident Roosevelt feels hat on the high
est ethical grounds his retention would
work grave and 'asting injustice to the
army as a whole.

Since the stockmen of Sully county

account Of stock being off their accus-
toned ranges and supposed to be lost.
In the western part Of the state from =
to s per cent will the loss, some
individual owners who had insufhclent
shelter, losing a greater per cent. wh1le
Others lest nothing at all. In the east
ern part of the county the losses were
heavier, as the storm was more severe
there; but even in that section ~ per
cent is considered a large estimate, ana
1T will not likely be that high, except IN
individual cases. Taking the count as
a whole, the stock owners are gettins

means of the lad. An examination re-
vealed hat both had their heads
crushed in by what is believed to have
been 8 brick. The entire police force is

AXE
CAUSES CONSIDE RABlE DAMAGE
OTHER DAMS MAY GO OUT UNDER
GREATLY INCREASED WA
TER POWER.

Appleton, Wis, April 16.-About if
teen miles of country. including some
valuable farm land, is under water near
Echo, Wis, as the result of the break
ing of the Pose lake dam. on the Wo,f
river.
About fifty feet of the dam went out
yesterday morning and it is feared
hat the dams at Lower Pose lake. ut
Keshera, will give cut under greatly
sed water power and entail seri-
Gus damage by floods.
The water level m Lake Winnebago
is considerably raised since the break,
hut no particular difficulty is expected
at water power points along the Fox
river.
The dam is owned by the Wolf River
Improvement Company Of Oshkosh,
and many st. Paul and Minneapolis
luinbermen are interested in properties
along the Wolf river.
