TORNADO CAUSES RUIN.
Fierce storm sweeps Minnesota
Towns Near st. Paul.

Fierce storm sweeps Minnesota
Towns Near st. Paul.
A tornado Wednesday afternoon did
great damage to property, killed one
man and injured many others In the
vicinity of Wyoming and North Branch,
small towns about fifty miles north Of
St Paul, Minn. 1t is feared that other
lives may have been lost, as the storm
blew down telegraph and telephone
wires and it is impossible to get into
communication with outlying farming
communities.
The storm seems to have formed near
Lindstrom, Mimi, and swept in north
easterly direction, cutting a path about
500 yards wide for distance Of fif-
teen miles. ..e. =.
Everything in its pathway was laid
bare, even the grass being cut as though
moved with scythe. Four men were
IN the direct path Of the storm and
took refuge under bridge crossing a
small stream, where the water was
three feet deep. The wind took the
all of the water out Of the stream, leav-
ing the bed perfectly dry. All four
Of the men were hurt, but none fatally.
The Engdahl residence OH Pine ISL
and, three miles from North Branch,
was destroyed and Mr.. Engdahl, Sr, is
reported dead. The other members Of
the family received serious injuries.
At Wyoming much damage was done
The house and barn Of Henry Funk
were completely destroyed and his wife
and son severely injured.
Mrs. Funk and her 15-month-old babe
in her arms when the storm came up,
and though she tried to cling to ii, 1t
was blown away. Later it was found
some distance away unhurt, but with
out a stitch of clothing on it.
One man, ii. J. Halvorsen, was prob.
ably fatally injured, four were serious.
ly injured and ten buildings were lev-
eled by tornado near Stoddard, Wis.
The storm swept over Lacrosse. The
hurricane centered apparently one and
one-half miles east of Stoddard, ver-
non County. 1t passed up Coon Valley
and Mormon Coulee, striking Stoddard
and Brinkman most heavily.
Western Kansas was visited Wednes-
day afternoon and night by violent
storms, taking the form Of tornadoes in
some places, but no loss of life has been
reported.

MEN NOT so SELFISH.

Club Delegates Set Them Right on
SuMrage-Omcers Elected.
Man, his points, good and bad, came
in for share of comment at Wednes-
days session of the General Federation
of Women's Club in st. Paul. Woman's
suffrage had the call and Mrs. Mary
G. Andrews, of Omaha, Neb, took a
fling at men, referring to them as sell
fish because of their failure to extend
the general franchise to women. This
declaration brought Mrs. Robert Hall
Wiles of Chicago to her feet with this
defense Of men:
"The American man Is the most un-
selfish man in the world. He is much
more unselfish than the American wom-
an. Property rights are just as fair
toward women as toward men, and the
delegate from Nebraska is wrong when
she says the men want to keep the bal
lot themselves through selfish motives,
or because they do not want the women
to have property rights. Women can
get as much favorable legislation now
as they could were they able to vote.
We cannot have it 60 out from here
that we believe men are selfish"
This was a hot one for the delegate
for Nebraska, who qualified her pre-
vious remarks. She squared herself
thus: .... '..
II love all men. idolize man; he is
an adorable creature. I wouldn't have
that impression go out from here for
anything. I'm not talking about the
good men we all love; referred only
to the politician"
Following are the officers elected:
President-Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker,
Denver, Colo. -
First Vice President-Mrs. Philip N.
Moore, st. Louis, Mo.
Second Vice President-Mrs. Mary Al
den Ward, Boston, Mass.
Recording Secretary--Mrs. Mary B. K.
Sherman, Chicago.
Corresponding Secretary-Mrs. Charles
Perkins, Knoxville, Tenn.
Treasurer--Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles,
Los Angeles, Cal.
Auditor-Mrs. Percy V. Pernybacker,
Austin, Texas.

Roosey6lt's action in calling for clean
meat legislation by Congress.

when they Cut Their Boards.

In France Henry Nv. was the last
monarch who wore a beard, and he
had fine one. He was succeeded by
a beardless minor, in compliment to
whom the courtiers shaved all their
boards except the mustaches. The sue.
cession of another minor confirmed the
custom, and ultimately the mustaches
also disappeared. The Spaniards, more
tardily influenced by French example,
kept their boards until the French and
English We're beginning to relinquish
even mustaches. Perhaps they would
have kept the cherished appendage, but
a French prince, Philip ", succeeded
to the Spanish throne with a shaved
chin. The courtiers with heavy hearts
initiated the prince, and the people
with still heavier hearts initiated the
courtiers. The popular feeling on the
subject, however, remains recorded in
the proverb, "Since we have lost our
boards we have lost our souls"

Our National Drink Bill.

Statistics published by the .nerican
Grocer, drawn from the inter evenue
records, show that since 1901 tAs cost Of
stimulating beverages consumed in this
country has risen from $1,273,212,3S6 to
81 1,54S, 70S, ,307 in 1905, or gain of 21 1-3
per cent. During the same period the
population increased from 77,647.000 TO
SO, $4,000, or a gain of 6h per cent.
These figures include tea and coffee. In
other words our drink bin is one-fourth
the total estimated production of our en-
tire farm products. The per capita ex-
penditure for stimulating beverages for
the year ending June 80, 1905, was
$1S63, or S93.15 for each family OF five
persons. OF this the cost of tea, coffee
and cocoa was $26S, leaving $15.95 for
alcoholic stimulants. England's drink bill
