Mrs, OlOf MlkkelsOn, one OF the
victims Of the terrible tornado at
Clinton, Mimi, which occurred last
Saturday evening, was the wife of
a former Kandiyohi boy. Olof
Mikkelson is son of Thor Mikkel-
son of Colfax and went to Clinton
about four years ago, where he is
engaged in general merchandise
business. He married one of the
young ladies living in that vicinity
and baby girl, Edith, year and
a half old, persisted with the mother
in the awful calamity. The funeral
took place at Clinton yesterday.
Those attending from this county
were Mr.. Thor Mikkelson, FREDERICK
and Carl Mikkelson, Catharine and
Fredricka Mikkelson, the father,
brothers and sisters of the bereaved
husband. Another brother, An
thon, is assistant cashier at the
State Bank Of New London.
The Minneapolis Journal con-
tanned the following account Of the
storm:
Clinton, Mimi, June q. Five
persons dead, at least twenty-five
injured and one missing is the aw-
full record of a tornado that swept
down upon this little town early
this evening.
Some of the injured will die.
Fully one-third OF the town S
residence section was wiped out.
On either side of the town farm
houses and buildings are in ruins
and cattle are lying dead in the
fields.
Contrary to the most universal
rule in tornadoes, this storm came
rushing out of the northwest in
stead of the southwest. In five ter
rible minutes it's work of devasta-
tion was complete, and the storm
was dissipated within a mile south
east of the town. Its path can be
traced for about three miles north.

the storm appears to have increased
as it approached the town.

One day in the spring of 1874 Cap
Smiths freight outfit pulled into Hele-
ma, Mont. After unloading the freight
the mule SINNERS to a man re-
paired to the combination gambling
house and proceeded to load them
selves. Late in the afternoon Zeb
White, Smiths oldest skinner, having
exchanged all of his hard coin for
liquid refreshment, zigzagged into the
corral, crawled under a wagon and
went to sleep. After supper Smith,
making his nightly rounds, happened
on the sleeping Zeb.
"Kinder chilly, amt it?" he asked
after earnestly prodding Zeb with a
convenient stick.

bled.

player, who had obtained permission
from the club secretary to take board
against the champion. The player put
up quite a fair game, but was finally
mated. Then he inquired Of Lasker tc

duct of the play.
"Well," said Lasker, "your play has
been somewhat peculiar. l notice that
you have not once moved your

that have not as yet quite mastered

CEILING and ciel;no.


The frequent occurrence of e before
l In certain words in manuscripts and
printed books Of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries in place of the
now customary spelling is a feature
which has often forced itself on my at
tention. 1t seems to me that the mod
ern way is in these older writings
comparatively seldom met with. I
have observed the following among 9TH
er instances: Field, neice, atcheive-
ment, relief, releife, greife; also, as
proper names, Field, Purfeild, Field
ing, etc. The causes which have led to
the change might furnish an interest
ing subject for discussion. In some
eighteenth century writings (the Bur-
rell manuscripts, for instance) occurs

Roll the Well Water.

Health officer DR.. Rains tells the
editor that his advice to all people
using water from surface wells in
the city is to boil the water before
using. The excessive rains have
made the danger of contamination
of the surface we'll water very
acute. In the city of Mankato un-
der similar circumstances no less
than two thousand cases of sickness
resulted. If you don't use city
water that comes up from artesian
wells, you had better boil your wa
ter supply, lest you take in the
germs that will cause you trouble
and bring the cost Of doctor bills.

The Bank GRAVEYARD.

1t is not generally known that the
Bank of England, 1.-The Old Lady Of
Threadneedle Street," contains within
its walls graveyard. The Gordon
riots in $780, during which the bank
was attacked by a mob, called atten-
ton to the necessity for strengthening
it's defenses. Competent authorities
advised that an adjoining church, hav-
ing the peculiar name of st. Christie
pher-le-Stocks, was in military sense
a source Of danger, and an act of par
lament was passed to enable the d.
rectors to purchase the church and its
appurtenances. This, now tastefully
laid out, is called the "bank garden"
In 1t is the largest lime tree in London.

"Not If 1t Were My Boy"
Some years ago the late Horace
Mann. the eminent educator, delivered
nm address at the opening of some re-
formatory institution for boys, during
which he remarked that If only one
! boy was saved from ruin it would pay
for all the cost and care and labor of
establishing such an institution as that
After the exercises had closed, in pri-
vate conversation, a gentleman rallied
Mr.. Mann upon his statement and said
to him:
did you not color that little when
you said that all that expense and la
Dor would be repaid If it only saved
pne boy|
Not If 1t were my boy" was the
solemn and convincing reply.
Brilliant Venus.
When she is at her brightest Venus
Is so bright that if you knew where in
the sky to look for her you could easily
see her in the daytime, and at night
she sheds so much light that where
other lighting is excluded she will cast
a plain shadow. She is about five times
as bright as Jupiter ever gets. ten times
as bright as Sirius, the largest of the
fixed stars, and a hundred times as
bright as the ordinary first magnitude
stars. Her reign is. however, short, for,
as she makes three revolutions to the
earths two. she rapidly passes US and
begins to fade away.
