property blown away, briefly sum-
marizes the effects of the storm which
on Wednesday devastated sections OF
Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, and
last night wrought havoc in Michigan
and Kansas. There were two separate
storms Wednesday, one in Southern
Minnesota and Western Wisconsin
and another in the northern part OF
Minnesota, which also swept over
into Wisconsin.
The Dead:
Near Stoddard, Wis.-Halvor J.
HalvOrsOn.

Near North Branch, Mimi Mr..
Engdahl, Sr., and Andrew H. Olson,
the latter killed by lightning.
Near Plainyille, Mich.-Alexander
Ferguson, killed by lightning, and
William West, killed in wreckage OF
barn.
Terrible Ruin Wrought
Fortunately the storms did not
strike and large towns, but the devas-
tation wrought in the rich farming
country through which they passed
is said to be terrible. Crops are
ruined and substantial brick and frame
dwelling houses and barns were
literally blown into fragments and
scattered for hundreds of yards about
the country.
Sunrise Escapes Disaster
Sunrise, Mimi, little town Of 500
inhabitants, about whose safety much
anxiety was felt last night, escaped
uninjured. the storm devastated
the country three miles from town but
did not hit the village itself. The
large new frame house OF William
Stevens was blown to kindling wood
and Stevens and his wife seriously
hurt. but not fatally injured.
Every building on the farm OF
M. w. Demming was destroyed, but
the family escaped injury b.. taking
refuge in the root cellar. Mr.. Deming
was absent when the storm struck
the house. His wife and nine children
were in the house. Arthur, the Oldest
boy. heard the roar of the storm and
went to the door to sinyestigate.
Horses in the Air
The first sight he saw was team Of
horses coming through the air. The
barn in which the horses were hitch
ed had been blown away and the
horses lifted high in the air they
alighted on their feet and escaped
with trifiing injuries. They were still
attached to plank Of the manger TO
which they had been hitched.
After passing Sunrise the tornado
took a northeasterly direction into
Wisconsin. II passed through a heav-
lily timbered section, cutting path
100 feet wide as far as the st. Croix
river. There was considerable damage
done to saw mill property near Neyers
Wis., but no lives were lost.
About Ham Lake, in Anoka county,
Mimi, the tornado destroyed much
farm property, but no loss OF lire is
reported.
Michigan Men Killed
Sweeping a path one mile and a
quarter wide for distance of three
miles early last night, tornado that
struck the village of Martin and
Monteith, in Michigan, respectively
six miles and four miles north OF
Plainwell, killed William West, farm
laborer, aged fifty-four, seriously in
iured several others, and did much
damage tn stock and farm buildings

Poland in the primary department.
Since the school closed last spring, the
directors have put in furnace and
made all necessary repairs, and with
the present corps of teachers, there is
no reason why our school should not
be one of the best in the county.
When this village was set off from
the rest Of the township into a sep
arate school district, it was the arnbi-
ton of some of our citizens to have a
higher department, where we could
turn out scholars prepared to teach,
but after about ten years trial. the
board of directors have determined to
abandon the project, and hereafter
there will be only three departments
instead OF four, as formerly.
