Word Means to Him.

Albany, N. Y, July 16.-In response
to a New York newspapers request
for his definition of the term pro
gressive," Governor John A. Dix wrote
out the following:
"A progressive is one who, with con
sistency and fairness, achieves reforms
for the benefits of his fellow men. In
dustrially, among other things, pro-
gressivenesS consists in furnishing
greater opportunities for skill and
making conditions for the safety, ad-
vancement and contentment of the in.

ness is not mere promise, but is the
real performance of pledges made to
secure needed reforms, resulting in
wise laws designed to meet new con-
ditions, but leaving the fundamental
principles of representative govern.
ment unchanged"

That was the brief announcement
made in behalf of the man whom the
senate stripped of his seat and title as
junior senator from Illinois.
Whether he will re-enter politics and
seek vindication at the hands of the
Illinois electorate Mr.. LorimeG has
not decided Some of his former col
leagues in the senate have suggested
that he seek a return to the seat in
the house of representatives which
he left when the Illinois legislature in
1909 sent him to the senate. But that,
his friends say, is at least two years
away, as would be any effort to be

CYCLoNIC STORM IS FATAL
Three Persons Killed In the Twin
Cities-Damage to Property
Enormous.

Three dead, another nortally injured;
an estimated property loss of $780,
600; houses unroofed, sheds and barns
crushed, windows shattered, base
ments flooded, train and trolley car
service abandoned on many lines, tel
ephone and telegraph communication
in many directions hampered, several
gardens and field crops ruined and nu-
merous narrow escapes-.these figure
in the total computed from incomplete
reports of the havoc left in the wake
of the cyclone storm which swept the
Twin Cities and suburbs. The storm
area covered St. Paul, Minneapolis,
South and West ST. Paul, and inter-
mediate points between st, Paul and
White Bear lake and Saltwater, and
all through Southeastern Minnesota.
At Lakeview, near Lake City, five
national guardsmen were seriously
hurt by lightning and many others
shocked.
The rain was very heavy, in some
places being reported as very like a
cloudburst.
A large COW barn on the farm of
John Bergman, dairyman, collapsed
during the wind, killing Mrs. Anna
Freyer, Ellsworth, Wis, and Mary
Bergman, five years old, instantly. Mr..
Bergman, his wife and their three
other children, Helen, aged seven;
John, aged four, and Jacob, aged
eighteen months, were in the barn at
the time, but escaped with minor In
juries. Twenty cows were in the barn,
and all killed by the falling walls.
At Minneapolis Ralph c. Gillette
eldest son of L. C. Gillette OF
the Minneapolis Steel and Machinery
company, was killed instantly by a
bolt of lightning while seeking shelter
under a tree on the Interlachen Golf
club links during the storm. DR.. c.
W. Card, dentist, was knocked un.
conscious and was in a serious condi
ton for a few minutes after the
shock. Joe Nelson, ten years old, a
caddy boy, is thought to have been
fatally injured by the bolt Of lightning
that struck Mr.. Gillette. E. 8. Hous
ton, coffee salesman, was stunned
by the same stroke, but recovered

WRECK ON GREAT NORTHERN
One Person Killed When Five Cars
Leave Track.

Five cars of the Oriental limit.
cd, the crack train of the Great North.
ern, went down an embenkment one
and three-quarter miles west of Melby
village and short while later fire de-
strOyed the wreckage. One person
was killed and physician aboard the
train dressed the injuries Of eleven
others. Many more are believed to
have been injured. Neil Campbell,
fireman, st. Paul, was killed.
Conflicting reasons are given for
the wreck. One is that it was caused
by defective rail; the other that the
roadbed had been so softened by the
recent rains that 1t was unable to sup
port the heavy train. This theory is
given the greater credence, in view of
the fact that two big freight trains
passed over the rails only a short time
before the Oriental.
The wreck occurred as the passen-
ger train was making curve to the
right around Pelican lake.

It was produced under the direction Of Carl Level, Oscar Asches business manager, in London. Level had previously tried his luck with H. c. Wells's "Kipps," and IL V. Esmond's "A Young Mans Fancy. upon both Of which the public loked with no favorable eye. They have proved even less encouraging towards "rantrums, which. so far as it's drawing powers are concerned, might just as well be taken c ,e OnIs toaay. The theatre, however, must be kept open and "Tantrums, ac- cordingly will hold Its place for three weeks longer: in other words. until . fresh novelty can be got ready.
