NERVOUS TURNED
TO LIQUOR !! POTS
Intoxication a Notable Feature
of the Aftermath of the Big
Blow.

Intoxication was notable on the down.
town streets Saturday night after the
tornado. Those who were wrestling with
John Barleycorn were not quarrelsome
and were not noisy They insisted In
stopping strangers upon the street to di-
late upon the fury Of the storm and to
state, frankly In most instances, that
they had been badly scared.
This is feature which has been no
ticed in almost every city following a
great disaster said Minneapolis man
this morning. 'In ST. Louis the night Of
the cyclone such saloons as were left
standing were crowded to the doors and
drunken men were greatly in evidence.
Galveston was drunk for week follow
ing their calamity. Mt Vernon, ILL.,.
blown away a few years ago, was an
other scene of intoxication.
'"Those who become intoxicated after
such storms are in my mind excusable
in way. In st. Louis the work OF re
covering the bodies was a tremendous
task. Men worked over a hundred hours
without sleep and badly fed. They
turned to liquor to keep them going
They were excusable. At Galveston the
workers had greater task and those who
remember the stencil Of human bodies
will excuse men for drinking themselves
into a semiconscious condition. These
men kept right on working.
"The general intoxication comes thrr
nervousness. man feels that he has
had narrow escape from DEATH He Il
ALI in as the boys say, and turns tt
the liquor jug. His stomach is unsettled
and as a result it takes but little whisky
to upset him. Saturday nights intoxi.
cation in Minneapolis is nothing more Q,
less than g. recurrence Of that in st. Louis
and Galveston. If you will watch yot
win see that it invariably follows every
great calamity of the kind

FAIR GROUNDS ALL RIGHT
Storm Demolishes Tents and Small
Buildings-Total Damage Small.

Saturdays nights storm struck the
state fairgrounds with great fury, but
the big buildings were not injured In the
least, and no damage was done which
cannot be repaired In day or so. A
number Of people sleeping in the tents
which had already been put up had g
narrow escape as the tents went to the
ground at the first blast of the storm.
Mr.. Randall and his sons sailed out and
rescued the drenched people and many Of
them were cared for in the. office build
ing for the rest of the night.
The storm played some peculiar FRANKS.
Altho there are thousands Of square
yards of glazed sash in the various build
ing on the fairgrounds, scarcely light
was broken and the large buildings which
present great surfaces to the wind were
not hurt; but several small buildings were
wiped out so completely that no trace Of
them can be found. The ticket office at
the old carriage gate west Of the new
street railway terminals disappeared abso-
lutely. The temporary structure used for
the manufacture of cement paving blocks
also vanished and not SO much as a
splinter Of it is to be seen. Some trees
were injured, the electric sign at the
Smelling avenue entrance was ruined and
the new railroad office at the. Great
Northern railroad yards was turned up
side down. The loss is very small and will
| in no way interfere with the fair.

CHAIN OF ACTORS
STORM BUFFETED.
Thrilling Experiences and Escape
of Attaches of the Garden
Theater.
Miss Walker Torn From the Arms
of Manager Hubert-The
Andrews Escape.

OF all the personal experiences in
the tornado, none was more thrilling
than that of the Garden Opera COM
pany at Thirteenth street and Yale
place. Threatening weather with
rain at the time to open the perform
players were all on hand ready to put
on the Pirates of Penzance." The
big tent rocked, bellied out and Stat
ted in as the storm grew more in
tense and finally all but two Of the
actors decided to make their way
perial flats.
In the driving rain and hail the
party reached the middle of the street
when a crash behind them attracted
their attention. The big tent had
gone before the wind, wrecking the
dressing-rooms and stage and filling
the air with flying bits Of canvas and
planking. In an instant the party
were dashed to the ground. Miss Ada
Palmer Wacker was stunned and
made senseless by the force of the
fall. Manager Hubert discerned her
PROSTATE form in the darkness and
picked her up. The other members
of the party managed to gather and
another start was made. They
reached the court of the Imperial
when another blast tore Miss Walker
| from the arms of her reScuer, throw
| ing her some distance away and hurl-
ing Hubert into the air to drive him
face downward, into a pile Of cinders
His face and hands were BADLY cut
but he rose and found the company
| all down and scattered.
! The manager then got the actors
! together once more and for safety
they formed living chain. Miss
Walker, still unconscious, was carried
into the building, but not before the
little band had again been terribly
buffeted by the wind.
Meanwhile Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews
were having a terrible experience
They remained in the tent, and fol
safety left their dressing room, seek
ing the center of the stage. They
saw the big top go with the MAR
pole crashing down within few fee
| of them. The stage walls crashed
and. flew into the air, crossing ove1
their heads to fall into a vacant To-
near by. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, tho
exposed to the wind and rain, were
not injured and afterward Joined the
remainder Of the company at the I'm
perial.
The tent and properties Of thu
theatrical managers is complete loss
as no insurance was carried.
