From Tuesdays Daily.
The cyclone that visited the north
ern part of Decoria Friday afternoon die
some rather queer things. It's force wa,
shown by the way in which it treated
the buildings in its path. Not boarC
of Mrs. Jessie G.. Searing's barn was
left in the lot in which it stood. The
barn was large one, built of native
lumber, but hardly two boards were left
nailed together. The structure was APP,
parently picked up and torn apart, and
the boards were strewn through the
fields for a mile, in a track scarcely
forty feet wide. Some of the heavy
planks were driven endwise into the
ground for several feet and then snap
ped off. The soil was furrowed as a
shells. Other planks and boards were
shivered in the air and fell in pieces to
the ground, useless for any purpose
except kindling wood Much of the
lumber can be piled up and made of
use again, as it was practically new, but
the work of gathering it together will
be quite task
Most of the windows on the south
side of Mrs. Searing's house were
broken outward, by the terrible suction
of the storm, which passed Few. feet
south of the house. Some pieces of
the glass were found many rods away
in the field.
The large two story hog house on
Mrs. Mary L. Searing's premises looked
as though it had been turned inside out,
for it was piled up in great mass, with
the studding on the outside and the
board sides underneath. No windows
were broken in the house, but in the
tenant house south of the path of the
storm windows were broken on the side
away from the storm. This would indi-
at least vacuum in the air south of
that house. ""7"
Another strange feature was the fact
that not a sound of the crashing of the
buildings was heard in the house, where
the occupants thought that silence
reigned out of doors Down in the val
ley, mile away, the people heard a
great crashing as of buildings being
torn to pieces, coming from the north.
This would seem to indicate that the
cyclone destroyed all sound waves 60
ing north, but carried those going south
so distinctly that it was like moving
a chunk of the atmosphere southwark
for mile with all of the sounds that
it contained. 7.ae 0 81
The cyclone came fro mthe west and
passed almost due east, going down
the into the LIE Sueur valley at
the old Pettis place n"w occupied by
Mr.. Peterson and blowing it's way
through woods and buildings until it
had either spent it's force OF raised in
to the air too high to do damage. 1t
does not appear that an yof the suffer
ers had any cyclone insurance.

| A little too much rain, perhaps, but
still the farmers are not doing great
amount of kicking, for the crops look
well and strong. Corn is just humping
itself and the hogs are feeling quite
elated in consequence. The small grain,
although rank, is favored by having
strong roots and stems, so that, unless
| there comes more flood, a bumper crop
will result. The creamery checks will
be larger than usual on account of the
| finer pasturage. a#

GETTING RIGHT OF WAY.
n. P. Barlow Goes to Work Between
Mankato and Minneopa.
From Tuesdays Daily.

VTVFTI ] UtSudy DdI1y. =
IL. p. Barlow, right of way agent for
the Omaha road, was in the city today.
He has just started to acquire right
of way for the new roadbed between
this city and Minneopa Falls. He must
get about two and half miles of right
of way, along the side of the present
right of way, but the width will not
be much except where there are heavy
cuts or fills to be made.
Mr.. Barlow was employed nearly all
winter in getting the right of way for
his road through Lake Crystal.

NOT A TWINE PLANT.
International Harvester Co. Looking
for Location for Warehouse.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Regarding the proposition of the In
ternational Harvester company estab-
fishing big factory for the manufac-
ture of binding Irvine out of the count
less tons of flax straw that goes to
waste here, The Albert Lea Tribune has
the most reliable information that there
is no intention of establishing fac
tory as the company has one in Chi
cago at the present time, but the in
tention is to locate big warehouse
somewhere in the southern part of the
state to gather straw, bale it and ship it
to Chicago, but this, while quite an in
dustry, would be far from as valuable
an acquisition for town as the Irvine
project would.

most ingeniously supplied with an in- vention of his own, so constructed that it will contain dozen cigars, a packet of cigarettes tobacco, pipes, cigar holder and matches. There is, of course, the drawback of weight, while on one occasion the matches accidently ignited, to the gentlemans consterna- tion and the utter amazement of the bystanders, who thought to behold a genuine case of spontaneous combus- tion.
 Spontaneous combustion, by the way, was the terror that haunted a Norfolk, gentleman, who, to guard against such an eventually had his hat supplied with small tank, which, on string being pulled, would empty it's contents over his person. On more than one oc- casion, on his being seized with panic was his invention put into operation, until, on his developing further and not such harmless eccentricities, he was re- moved to an asylum.
 Equally inventive was a certain Mu- l mich doctor, who, holding that an equably heat was necessary for the brain, caused to be constructed on the top of his hat small metal chamber, to contain ice in the summer and hot ! water in the winter. A small thermom- eter projecting through the side of the headgear enabled it's wearer to ascer- tain the interior temperature.
 Although it could not vie in size with
 the hat of MT. Quangle Wangle Quee, which is immortalized in one of Ed mund Lear's Nonsense Books as being
 the resort of all the fowls of the air,
 that worn by Viennese eccentric,
 which was constructed in the form of
 a miniature aviary, holding some dozen
 small birds, was assuredly out of the
 common. With this covering on his
 head, he used to walk the streets until,
 his presence causing obstruction to the
 traffic, his perambulations were inter
 dicted by the uthorities.-Tit-Bits

drama. Perhaps it is, but it is inter-

drama. Perhaps it is. but it is inter- esting melodrama, anyway.
 "Wolfville'' tells story of intense and primitive human passions which is the most powerful of all stories. Prob ably nearly everyone has read Alfred Henry Lewis book "Wolfville," from which the play has been taken. The dramatization was done and we'll done by Clyde Fitch and Willis Steel. The play follows the lines of the book in all important points, and in not few points makes an improvement thereon. It is in four acts and laid in the Ari- zona mining town of "Wolfville," whose chief hosteIry is 'The Road to Ruin" :" where there is a lot of good fellowship and more bad whiskey.
 MT. Goodwin was the genial faro dealer of the play. It is always pleas ure to see MT. Goodwin in anything and as the "squarest and whitest man in all Arizona" who narrowly escapes a lynching on circumstantial evidence, but later came out hero, he has put another notch on the barrel of his sue cess. There is a certainty about his 1 touch which makes all his work con- 1 cincing. After the second act the au- 0ience appIauded in unison until MT. 1 Goodwin came out and made speech. 1 Hyperion audiences seem speech mad, and it is the proud boast of many of 1 the habitucs that no deserving leading man or won an gets (, away after that 1 second ac.. II has become a tradition now. MT. Goodwin was brief. He said his plays were more kindly received in New Haven than at any other theater in New En gland: IYe Haais going to have another new play neXt&year, he said, so he wouldn't say good bye,' and having concluded, said it.
 Miss Katherine Grey as Faro NelP' gave everybody an exciting time. The part is a good but difficult one, and in
 it Miss Grey had big opportunities. She was full of power in the dramatic scenes and gave altogether Q splendid portrayal of the girl whose wild pas sions led her to plan the murder of the man she loved. One does not often see
 better acting. A comedy clfaractetr ir
 the play was that of Benson Annie, the
 washer lady of "WolfyilIa," who drove the "chink" out of business and out oi
 town. Miss Jessie Bus1ey was this vo- latile peronage, and had the audience
 with her all the time. Annie could cuss with the rest of them and was proud of her accomplishment. Sue Will kins, who was the real cause of the
 trouble in camp, was well played by Miss Josephine Sherwood. The others of the company were adequate to give a l we'll rounded performance.
