SWEPT BY A FIERCE TORNADO.
LOSS OF PROPERTY IN NORTH ST.
LOUIS is 100000.
One Man Was Killed and Fifty People
Injured - Trolley Car Buried
Under Telegraph
Poles.

st. Louis, Aug. 20.--A tornado of
small proportions but of extreme fury
swept down on the residence portion
of North st. Louis yesterday, resulting
in the death of one person, John Ell
lington, injury to probably so, and
damage to property estimated at $780,
600.
Herman Sauerwine, aged 10, was, it
is believed, fatally injured. shower
had passed over st. Louis earlier in
the day, but there had been no rain in
North St. Louis. The sky had cleared
and the atmosphere had become very
murky and hot when citizens in North
st. Louis noticed dark cloud ap-
preaching from the southwest.
Suddenly, and without the slightest
premonitiOn, an arm seemed to shoot
to the ground like a gigantic cable,
twisting and turning. The end touch
ed the ground at Nineteenth and
Angelrod streets and with incredible
swiftness and force swept east along
AngelrOd street for ten blocks, then
turned north and swept three blocks
along Broadway, when it jumped
eight blocks northeast to the foot OF
Brennan street and the river, where
considerable property along the river
front was destroyed. The tornado
then jumped to about the middle OF
the river and encountered a ferry
boat, which was turned and tossed
about, but was not sunk.
Leaving the ferry, the tornado once
more jumped and struck the Illinois
shore near Madison, where it demol-
;r,I,
kranz hall and blew down a portion of
the Madison cooper works, killing
John Ellington. Severe damage was
done also to buildings in Venice and
Granite City, which adioin Madison,
and number of persons were injured.
A Broadway trolley car containing
II passengers was suddenly buried
under six telegraph poles, which
crashed into the top and wrecked the
car. The passengers had a remark
able escape from injury and only the
motorman received slight bruises
The roof and half Of the top story
of Sommers Brothers tailoring estab-
lishment were blown away. Probably
the heaviest loss suffered by a single
concern was at the Niedringhaus roll
ing mill. The plant covers two squares.
The big smoke stack was blown down
and half the plant was demolished,
entailing an estimated damage of $25,-
000. Six employees were injured in this
plant.
Not the slightest damage was done
at the worlds fair grounds. The ex-
position is situated over five miles
from the seat of the tornado.
Venice, H., Aug. 20.-The tornado
that swept across the river from North
st. Louis yesterday killed Mrs. Marga-
ret Beal, injured ten others and caus-
ed considerable damage TO property.

AGAINST MORMONISM.
The Democratic Convention of Idaho
Makes a Strong Declaration.

Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 1.-THE Du-
is-Heitfeld forces regained control
of the Idaho democratic convention
yesterday, routing the Mormon forces
after a fierce fight. Monday night the
anti-Dubois forces succeeded in strik-
ing the anti-Mormon plank out of the
platform by a vote of 153 to 13l. Ad-
iournment was then taken. During
the recess the Idaho county delega-
ton was rounded up and swung into
line for Dubois.
When the convention assembled
Tuesday the following resolution was
presented and carried through by the
dubois forces led by the senator him
self:
I'VE demand the determination of
polygamy and unlawful cohabitatiOn
within tho borders of Idaho and the
complete separation of church and
state in political affairs. We pledge
the democratic party to enact such
legislation as VIII eventually suppress
this evil"

REVIEW or TRADE.
Confidence in Continued improve
ment Is Somewhat Unsettled.

New York, Aug. 2O.-R. G. Dun Sc
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Confidence in continued improve
ment of trade has been somewhat un-
settled by sensational events in the
wheat market and the lack of har-
mOny between labor and capital. 1t is
becoming evident that estimates of
the wheat crop must be reduced, al
though other agricultural news is
much better than usual. Insofar as
the purchasing power of the farmer
is concerned, prices have risen SO
sharply that any loss in quantity
promises to be made up, but this OBJ
viOus fact is not appreciated by those
dealers who are making less preDara-
ton for future trade. Some disap-
pointment is also felt by those who
counted upon an early resumption of
activity in building operations and
other industries hampered by labor
controversies. Otherwise the news
Of the week has continued much Of an
encouraging nature.
In several manufacturing lines
there is less idle machinery, and Wis
iting retail buyers have stimulated
JODbilitp Iift'1N, NSpSSItiiIy III uly SOOuS
and kindred lines.
A general reduction in prices of
wire products, averaging about So
ton, was announced by a subsidiary
company Of the United States Steel
Corporation, and aroused more inter
est than was warranted because this
public action is only in line with what
has been done heretofore privately.
Failures this week numbered 226 in
the United States, against 23S last
year, and "A in Canada, compared
with a year ago.

Peabody, treasurer Of the democratic

Tuesday. He said the first cam

treasurer was from an Episcopal

clergyman wrote that while he did not
know whether he would live to vote
for Parker and Davis, he wanted to
send a dollar bill, all he could afford,
with the hope that the campaign
fund would be made up of the dollars
of a million voters rather than the
larger gifts Of rich men.

The American uses astonishinrly
few slang words in speaking of pieces
of money-perhaps because he has
greater respect for it. A fve-cent
piece is usually referred TO as a nickel,
but this is practically the only slang
term applied to any Of our money in
general use. A dime is officially a
dime, and so is a quarter. But turn
to the English appellations for their
money, and hardly bit of it is re-
ferrcd to under the authorized and Off
cial designation.

The output of the Texas oil fields
for the current year shows healthy
increase over that of the preceding
one, indicating that the apprehension
of decline in productions was grou?d-
less. For the six months ending June
80 the movement of oil was as fol-
lows: Port shipments 5,15f,00O bar
rcs, railroad shipments 100000 bar
res, a total of 9.154,0O barrels. To
this must be added the field consump-

which would make for the six months
1,45G. 900 barrels.
