Escape is MIRACULOUS
THREE MORE DEAD

La Crosse, Wis, Special, June T.
The loss Of three lives and terrible
damage resulting from last nights
cyclone in the farming country be-
tween Caledonia and Freeburg, Mimi,
where wide strip several miles long
was laid to waste, became known to-
day. The farm of Peter Meyer was
devastated and his wife and two
children were killed Meyer escaped
serious injury. The residence of G. T.
Inglet was also destroyed and all the
members of his large family are in
the hospital except the father. The
property of l.. T. Kruger was blown
away, with the exception of the
house.
The bodies of Mrs. Meyer and her
two children were found in the wreck
age Of the house in grove of trees
nearly half mile from where the
house had stood. At least score of
persons were injured in that vi
cinity.
1t appears that the cyclone first
appeared in that vicinity, swept east
to the river, leaped the Mississippi
and spent itself in Coon valley, Wnere
Halver Halvorson was killed and a
score injured
List Of Injured Grows
The known injured list near Stod-
dard has been increased to eleven,
including the wife of Halvorson.
None of them will die.
Damage at Chaseburg, Coon Val
ley and Viroqua was small, but at
Leon many buildings were blown
down.
The reports of last night appear
from today's development to have
been understated The farming c0un-
try where the storm spent its fury
is almost entirely ruined and the
property and crop loss will be
extremely heavy.

Troy, N. Y, Jan. 5.-Former Cover
nor Black has the Endorsement Of
President Roosevelt for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1908. That is the
gst of most interesting announce
ment by close friends in political
way of the former governor. When Mr.
Black called in response to an invita-
ton by President Roosevelt to consider
the taking of the state Craftsmanship
of the republican party, there was
quite a long conference, at the end OF
which the former governor declined
gracefully but firmly. He did not care
to figure in purely factonal politics,
because he has large ambitions, the
United States senatorship for one. and
the presidency, so his friends say, the
other.
Since that conference. and during
which time Odell has gone down to
defeat, a change has occurred. 1t is
said upon good authority that Mr..
Black has been induced to reconsider
his determination regarding the state
craftsmanship 1t is added upon the
same good authority that President
Roosevelt, having decided that he will
not be candidate for denomination,
has declared himself for Mr.. Black in

Wornan's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life is TO
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The abb
sence of this link to bind marital life
together. the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap-
pointmcnt. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart. one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
OF such childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest familydoes not seem too numerous 3,s
In many cases of barrenneSs or child
