TERRIFIC TORNADO
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Several Persons Killed and Much

Minot, N. D., Aug. 21.-From pres
ent reports the worst tornado in the
history of the state struck the north
west corner of North Dakota, starting
at Antler, on the Canadian boundary,
killing four persons and doing i'm
mense damage to life and property.
Telegraphic and telephone commu-

four injured seriously, according to
the. best information obtainable, as a
result of the storm which struck
Antler.
All of the physicians and surgeons
Of West Hope and other neighboring
towns have been rushed to Antler to
care for the wounded. Thousands of
dollars worth Of property has been
destroyed.
1t Is impossible to get any summary
of the exact losses. From Antler the

TWO AVIAT0RS
FALL TO DEATH
Fatal Accidents Mar lnterna-
tlOnaI Meet at Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-two avfators,
William r. Badger of Pittsburg and
st. Croix tombstone of Chicago. both
young men, lost their ives at the in
ternational aviation meet here. In dy-
ing both revealed the trailty of the
craft in which the two score more
aviators were curving and gliding
about in the air, with scarcely pause
for the deaths of their contemporaries.
Death in both cases was due to UNI
explained accidents, probably the re-
suits of unsupported defects in the
mechanism of the machines, and was
in no way caused by carelessness or
lack OF responsibility of the drivers.
Badger, a wealthy youth, careened
TO his death In pit In the aviation
field. There had been a flaw in one
OF the wings of the propeller OF the
Baldwin machine he drove. Centrifu-
gal force broke the propeller and up
set the delicate equilibrium of the ma
chine and Badger dashed 100 feet to
the bottom of the pit, his neck being
broken.
tombstone fell 500 feet under his en-
CINE and was drowned. as the result
of an equally unexpected defect.
Caught under the heavy engine in the
Moisant monoplane he was carried
deep into Lake Michigan and his body
was not brought to the surface until
an hour later.

Unless the patients are unreasonable
In their demands we provide the kind

be duplicated a good many times in

that needless extravaganza cannot be

Meets Defeat In Effort to Pass
Wool and Free List Bills.
SERIES OF DRAMATIC EVENTS
Motion to Pass Measures Over the
Presidents Disapproval Fails to
Secure Necessary Votes.

Washington, Aug. 19.--In a success.
zion of dramatic events the Demo-
cratic house of representatives met
defeat in it's supreme effort to pass
the wool bill and free list bills over
the presidents vetoes and virtually
fixed upon adjournment of congress
early next week.
The Democratic house majority,
with a great demonstration of enthu-
Siasm, marshaled it's forces for the
great battle to override the president,
but went down with flying colors. fail
ing to muster adequate progressive
Republican support to pass the tariff
legislation over the presidents head.
Failure of the attempt of the Demo
cratic house to override the vetoes
came during q day filed with stirring
Incidents. The close of the debate on
the motion Of Mr.. Underwood to pass
the wool bill over the veto found
Champ Clark, the speaker of the
house and an aspirant for the presi-
dency, pleading the cause of his fell
low Democrats upon the floor, sur
rounded by throng of his colleagues,
who cheered him vigorously. The
speaker, as he concluded, was given
a demonstration that for several min
utes delayed the roll call.
On the motion to pass the measure
over the wool veto there were 227
Affirmative votes, twenty-five OF them
progressive Republicans and one in
dependent Republican, while the mega
tive votes were 129. The motion to
override the veto on the free list
failed of a two-thirds majority also,
the vote being 226 to 127.
During the three hours of debate on
the wool bill the corridors of the Cap
itol reverberated time and again with
shouts of approval and derision from
the floor. Spirited discussions be-
tween members were frequent.
