200 ARE KILLED IN SOUTH
Appalling Loss of Life as Result Of
Terrible Storm-Property Loss
Many Millions.

Detroit, May 4.-Three vessels lost,
n of them with her crew of seven
men, and a fourth craft found float
ing deserted on Lake Michigan, with
the fate of her crew unknown, is the
days summary of disaster from storm
and ice IN the Great Lakes.
On the rocky shores Of Huron ISL
and the schooner George hester of
Detroit was torn to pieces by the gale
that swept over Lake Superior. All
of her crew of seven were lost.
Goes to the Bottom.
On Lake Huron, dashed by the same
gale, the package freighter Russia Of
Port Huron succumbed to the waves
after her cargo had shifted, and went
to the bottom. The Russia's crew Of
twenty-five men succeeded in safely
putting off in their small boats and
escaping.
On Lake Michigan the Ann Arbor
railway car ferry No. 1 picked up,
nineteen miles south Of Fox Island,
the big stec! lighter Batavia, deserted
by her crew and with no positive evil
dence as to whether they persisted or
were taken off the lighter of the
steamer which is believed to have
been towing her.
Face Great Periis.
To these fresh stories of marine
disaster with the arrival at Sault
Ste. Marie of the crew of the steamer
Aurania, there was added the first
story of how the Aurania was crushed
by the ice and sank, and how the crew
made a perilous way over nearly four
miles of ice foe to the steamer J. H.
Barlow.
Few days in the history of naviga-
ton on the inland lakes have brought
such tales of death and disaster.
200 Dead in South.
Memphis, Tenn, May 4.-Tha latest
reports from the stcrm-swept districts
in the South place the number Of dead
at 200 and the number of injured al
yer 700. Complete statistics will
probably show a death list Of $50
with nearly LOCO persons injured. AT
least forty towns have been devas
tated. The property loss will amount
to many million dollars.
Some sections in the pathway of the
storm have not yet been heard from
and they will, in all probability. ado
their quota to the list OF casualties
and Of property loss. Tennessee bore
the brunt of the storm, and the cas-
ualties in hat state are very heavy.

Butte Woman Says Husband Spent
$4,000 Of Her Money.

In a little over four years of welded
life, according to a sensational divorce
complaint filed at Butte, George Woll-
mar took more than $4,000 from his
wife, Rosalie Wollman, forged her
name to notes and mortgages, lost her
several thousands of dollars which
she had coming from her fathers es-
tate, and kept her in constant fear Of
prosecution for fraud. The plaintiff
says she is now dependent upon her
relatives for support. Wollman, it is
alleged, forged his wife's name to two
notes, n for $500 and the other for
$1,000, which she was compelled to
pay to save him from imprisonment.

Confederacy in order to effect his es-
cape from A~ndersonville prison,
George Day of Excelsior, Lake Min
netonka, is unable to secure a pension
for services rendered and wounds re.
ceived in the Union cause.
On applying for a pension Mr.. Day
made no effort to conceal his brief
and involuntary service in the Confed-
crate army. To his surprise he was
informed that no pensions could be
paid to one who had served against
the Union. Only a. special act of con-
gress could save his case.
Mr.. Day has just succeeded in en-.
listing the aid of Congressman Frank
Nye of Minneapolis in his affairs.

SEEM WRONG ONLY IN PRINT
Stephenson Managers Philosophy as to
Things Common to Every
Political Campaign.

Madison, Wis, May 6. E. A. Ed
monds, Republican state chairman
and manager of United States Sena
tor Isaac Stephenson's primary cam
paign, was on the stand before the
senatorial Investigating committee
most of the time yesterday, the nos
important developments brought out
being to the effect that he spent a
little over $1,000 during the United
States senatorial contest in the legis-
lature between Jan. 2G and March 4.
No statement of this expenditure has
been filed with the secretary of state.
The witness said he had no knowl-
edge of any Inducements being held
out to members of the Legislature to
influence their votes in the senatorial
contest.
4 most searching examination
brought out the admission that Sena-
tor Stephenson contributed $4,000 to
the Republican state central commit
tee.
In answer to another question the
witness said he thought there were
things done in every campaign
which are not wrong in themselves,
but which are m%isjudged and miscon-
strued by the public if printed in the
papers. However, he did not wish
to say that he had ar ything to con
ceal in relation to Stephenson's cam
Daion.
