A Destructive Cyclone.
The Town of Willow Lakes
Almost a Total Wreck
Bryant Badly Damaged.

IE Dhot PCoPIC uOtltCd q NCtJ
sudden change in temperature at
about six o'clock Saturday evening
aud a black storm cloud to the north,
But no one s~uspicioned that a
cyclone was making almost a total
wreck OF the town Of Willow Lakes,
less than twenty miles to the north
OF us.
The news Of the disaster caused
many to visit the place Sunday and
more looked upon the ruins Monday.
From the stories told by those who
saw the rains the wreck is beyond
the power to describe.
Not more than three or four build
ing remain unchanged. Large and
small residences were torn down and
scattered in fragments; others lost a
roof, a side. or were smashed fat to
the ground. The new school house
just completed was strewn about the
town. The Methodist church was
and turned over onto the
parsonage, f~iatening the latter to the
ground. The depot and all but one
of the grain elevators were destroy
ed, and the warehouse remaining
standing will be out of commission
for some time. Seventeen freight
cars standing on the side track were
turned over and more or less demol-
ished, necessitating the work of the
~wrecking crew and machinery.
In the village no one was killed
outrig bit, and only Que lady injured
beyond hopes of recovery. The re-
~markable escape of SO many in such
a severe storm is attributed to the
fact that all who could do so sought
shelter in the cellars upon the ap-
pearance Of the hail which preceded
the destructive storm.
A man named Erickson, living
about two miles from the town, was
instantly killed.
The storm passed on to the east
and caused extensive damage all
along its path, although at times it
must have lifted above the ground.
Grain shocks and stacks we're scat
tered out over the prairie. Over to-
ward Bryant houses were destroyed, |
and in the town Of Bryant many
buildings along the west side were
destroyed, including a number Of
elevators.
At Bryant e Mrs. Schelling was
killed outright, and a daughter so
badly injured that recovery is not
expected. The other injured are w.
j. Leisure, ribs broken; Belle X. Jos,
leg broken; Bonnie Schilling, collar.
bone broken; A. Lawrence, hip cut
i. II. Stems and wife both badly
bruised.
Mrs. Louise Johnson, two miles
west of Bryant suffered a broken

A FAIR NEXT YEAR.

The Street, Carnival that commenced its entertainment yesterday drew a
 large crowd to the tcity. This Is only indicative of stili greater crowds for the remainder of the week if the weather conditions do not interfere. Comparatively a few men interested themselves in getting this affair here, drawing visitors goes.is plainly evil dent. This points moral which all interested in Montgomery's prosperity should consider. For next fall we should have a sure enough State Fair, in which every element of Alabama s business will have a show. It is some thing the people not only of Alabama, but of adjoining States will come to see. There is nothing scarcely from mine, field, forest or shop that can not be ex- hibited as Alabama production and there is no better place for the exhibitor than here in Montgomery. We want our business people to look at the great crowds drawn here this week. and compare them in their minds with the still greater throngs that would attend a State Fair on the 9cale befit- ting this city and State. There is no Worlds Fair of any kind this side of the Rocky Mountains next year and the time Is suspicious for the revival of the splendid Fairs that were once annually held here. ..,

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER I, lOoA.
GRArrFYINe AMpNpE.

The Mobile Register received by tele- graph on Sunday night and published yesterday morning The Advertisers s comments on certain rumors, published in The Register, and furnished by its Montgomery correspondent. The Reg ister adds the following remarks, which are highly gratifying to us, but no more than we expected from it, when 1t un- derstood the situation:
 The Register regrets that Major Ecrews attaches importance to state ments that were introduced by their writer as mere rumor." No part of the report or rumor was presented as coming from Major Screws, and it did not occur to The Register that 1t was Incumbent upon 1t to enquire of him as to its truth. It was specifically offered flor what it was worth" and was accompanied by a statement that it was doubtful if the major, and the others mentioned, would accept the of- fees named, were such offices offered to them.
 Of course the printing, of the rumor might have been avoided by The Reg tster, but The Advertiser knows very well that in the hurry of editing daily paper. there is sometimes failure to read, mark and inwardly digest q news item, and follow it's possible effect, as was the case in this instance. We would sacrifice one hundred items Of this sort rather than intentionally put so tried. and true a friend of The Register, as he, in an apparently false position, and we beg him to accept our assurance that we are heartily sorry that we have given him this cause of offence.

TIT IS NOT QUITE SATISFIED.

The esteemed Hartford courant conn plains that we have not fairly replied to a supposed case 1t put in relation to what Judge Parker would do. as President We stated that in our opinion he would not approve any measure which would disturb the present money standard. even though such measure came to him as the act of the Democratic Party. That. how ever, seems not to have been exactly what The courant was driving at. In fact 1t does the Judge the justice to say emphatically that 1t believes he would veto any bill to disestablish the gold standard.
 The courant comes back with the complaint that we either misappre- hended or lodged the issue it was mak- ing. and that 1t was referring especial ly to the supposed enactment of another silver purchase bill, and in order to do 1t justice we quote somewhat liberally from its editorial as follows:
 But the country's concern now is with the present and the future. Piled in rotting bags in the treasury vaults are about fifteen thousand tons of unused, unwanted. idle coins called dollars part silver and part fiat" Fifteen thou sand tons-five hundred carloads. If the aged treasurer of the United States were to die tomorrow. they would have to be counted, coin by coin; 30 also if a Democratic Secretary were to take over the treasury department next March.
