sistance given to the Russian second
SQUADRON continues to run high and
is finding expression in a variety of
ways. The nearness of the Russian
squadron and the nature of the prep

WINGED many people that IL would have
been impossible for RoiestVensky to
come to The far east without outside
assistance. which has given a sinister
tone to the popular sentiment. In the
crisis many eyes are turned towards
Great Britain for assistance. It is
argued that France rescued Roiest-
Velisky from absolute failure to reach
the China sea anG that the final all

amounts TO an act of belligerencv and
there are manv demands that japan
invoke the alliance with Great Britain.

turned his attention toward aiding the
wounded.
The tornado seems to have formed
three miles south Of Marquette and did
not spend it's force until it had passed
many miles north of the town. In Mar
quette the residence portion of the
main street suffered the principal dam-
age. The houses in the course of the
tornado were all, with two or three ex-
ceptions, completely wrecked. In this
section there We're a number of mod
ern residences Of which only n was
left standing.
The Swedish Lutheran and Method
list churches were among the first
buildings struck and they, together with
the parsonage adjoining the Methodist
church, were demolished.
Yesterday afternoon was hot and op-
pressive. Late in the evening a ter
rife rain storm broke over the town.
The rain continued to fall in torrents.

struck. Within less than five minutes
it had wrought it's terrible work and
passed ON. Telegraph and telephone
wires were carried down and it was
several hours before the outside world
could be appraised Of b plight Of he
city.
1t was not until s O'clock that physi~
clans and surgeons began arriving
from surrounding towns. In the mean
time dozens of volunteers sett o work
to clear away the debris and eXtricate
the dead and injured. The Swedish
Lutheran parsonage and several prI-
yate residences were turned into tempo
rary hospitals. The dead We're taken
to a storerOOm nearby. Dr.. Lund, the
Lutheran pastor, passed about among
the suffering ministering to their COM
fort, while thirty or forty other per-
sons, working under his direction cared

There were many narrow escapes
from death. The infant daughter Of
Charles Salon was lifted in her bed
and carried to the middle Of the street,
! receiving only a few scratches. Salon
and his wife were seriously injured.
The mattress upon which the baby
daughter of the Rev. Smith lay was
doubled up in such a manner as to
cover the child an dprOtect it from fall

Mr.. and Mrs. o. s. Ellvin were car

OF the order of Women of Woodcraft
and claims that she was wrongfully
expelled from the order. She resorted
to every remedy prescribed by the or
der for the alleged wrongful expul-
sion. taking her case twice to the
supreme authorities in that organ
ization.
ON her first appeal the matter was
sent back to be heard again before
the local circle which was given GER
tain directions in reference to the
matter but the expulsion was upheld
and was sustained by the highest
authorities In the order.
Mrs Kelly then took her case in
judgement for about S27 900 damages.

cause of the wrongful and illegal
expulsion. both mentally and physl-
cally and has been previously in
jured in her good name and reputa-

was crowded with women who have
gathered to participate In the legal
