cyclone which passed through the river
district of this city Wednesday night
killed one man, made twenty families
homeless, partially wrecked the pants
Of the Polish Brewing company, the
Coye Furniture Manufacturing com
pany, unroofed more than TWENTY-FIVE
houses, leveled almost two score of
barns, and caused damage estimated
at $150,00O. While the storm lasted
barely few minutes it left behind it
trail of Wreckage that it will take
months to clear away.
Log Hits Farmer.
Charles Lauser, a farmer, living in
a log cabin near Killmer. a small town
some distance between Grand Rapids
and Stevens Point, was killed by be-
ing struck by a beam when his home
was wrecked by the wind. His wife
and daughter, who were occupying the
room with him, escaped unscathed
The heaviest loss was suffered by
the Polish Brewing company, whose
newly completed two story brick
bottling plant, was completely
wrecked. Considerable damage was
also done to its main building, princi
pally by flying debris from the bottling
works. The stables were also partially
wrecked. The loss to the bottling
plant alone will amount to $4,000
Furniture Plant Wrecked.
The Coye Furniture company, occu-
plying a finely equipped plant it is es-
timated will lose about $4,000 A
portion of its plant was blown down
together with the dry kiln and other
parts of the factory were damaged by
the falling of the stack.
The elective light plant about two
and a half miles northeast of the
city, was also slightly damaged and
has been put out of commission, the
city being left in total darkness.
The Joerns Manufacturing COM
pany, manufacturers of furniture, had
it's stack blown down and a portion Of
its plant wrecked by its fall
twenty-five residences in the di-
rect path of the storm were unToOfed
and also partially wrecked. Twenty
families were compelled to leave
their homes and find refuge with
friends and hospitable people who
threw open their doors for the suf-
ferers.
The people made homeless are
mostly of class less able to weather
such a calamity, being principally of
the working class, but generous
hearted people are coming to their as
sistance, and it is expected that they
will be given comfortable quarters
and have their homes restored before
the approach of severe weather.
City Is Isolated.
All telegraph lines along the river
are out of order, poles and wires be-
ing down, but large crews of men
have been put to work and it is ex-
pected to have this damage repaired
within a few days. The telephone
service is also badly crippled For
a time the city was completely cut
off from the outside world, but a line
between here and Milwaukee was es-
tablished today.
A box car standing on the track
was thrown over on it's side as though
it had been an egg shell. A fireman
who stood close by was slightly in
jured, he getting out of harms way
by a hairsbreadth.

Quebec's Battlefelds.

Canadians Of English or French
origin are embracing with equal en-
thusiasm the proposal to consccratc
the battlclicl,ls of the Plains Of Abra~
ham and Ste Fov next year, when the
Quebec tcrccntcnary is celebrated. In
1919 the British soldiers serving in
Canada, under Sir Benjamin d'Urban.
contributed days pay to erect a
column in memory of Wolfe on the
spot where made this country British.
The amount of money thus raised was
small and the mor.:mcnt insignif-
cant. But the meaning Of that final
erapplc between the British and the
French grows yearly in significance,
and there is now taking definite form
plan to give permanent expression
to the honor in which Canadians hold
Wolfe and Nontcalm alike Today
as the immigrant comes up the river
to Quebec the first object he sees is
the Jail on the promotory. It is
proposed now to remove the prison
and the Ross Rifle Factory. and to
sci up there overlooking the river, Il
colossal angel of welcome: to buy
land enough to make certain the pre-
scrvation of the battlcfclds as a ma
tional park. to build firc-proof mu-
scum, in which to store records and
relies of historic value, and to con-
struct a magnificent driveway from
the citadel along the edge Of the
cliff ovcrhanGing the st. Lawrence, to
the place where Wolfc's forlorn hope
climbed the height, along the road
over which Wolfe marched his men
before they dcploycd to take up their
line Of two deep on the Plains or
