spent in this vicinity.
The principal losses in the city were
to the furniture store Of Martin Ben
son, the rGand hotel, the Fergus Falls
Cooperative Creamery company's
building and the clothing store Of Olaf
Echei. Benson's loss is anywhere be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, his building
being badly battered and his stock Of
goods drenched by rain. The walls Of
the Grand hotel, Fergus Falls princi-

shock of the wind that 1t 10 believed
they can never be repaired. The larg-

One end Of the creamery building
was torn out and most Of its windows
and doors broken in. This ID Q $1,000

blown in. One and . half inches Of
rain fell in an hour.
Hundreds of trees were torn up by
the roots and many fell across the
streets and effectually blocked them

Reports Of losses in country dis

struction. Barns were either wracked
or torn to pieces and crops Of all
kinds were leveled with the soil.

A New Birth Of Freedom.

=
The nomination of Woodrow Wilson
for president means new Democracy
It means new epoch in American
self-government.
The Democratic party at last ha,
broken its shackles. It has emanci.
pated itself. It has rehabilitated it.
self in power and principle. 1t has
turned it's face to the rising sun, to
re-establish the faith Of the American
people in their own institutions.
Woodrow Wilson will be the next
president of the United States. Blu,
he will be more than that. He will be
the first president of the United States
in 4 generation to go into Office owing
favors to nobody except the American
people and under no obligations to
nothing except the weneral welfare.
No political boss brought about his
nomination. No political machine car
ried his candidacy 70 victory. No CO.
terie of Wall street financiers provided
the money to finance his campaign.
He has no debt to pay to corrupt poll.
tics or to corrupt business. He wa.
nominated by the irresistible force Of
public opinion, and by that alone. He
stands before the country free man.
The'American people have set out to
regsin possession Of their government,
and Woodrow Wilson was nominated
for president because he embodies that
issue. The bosses and the plutocrats
who tried to prevent his nomination
were beaten by the power of the peo-
pie, and the power that nominated him
il the power that will elect him.
With Woodrow Wilson as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president it makes
no difference what Mr.. Roosevelt does.
It makes no difference how many
third parties he organizes. Progress
sive Democrats and progressive Re
publicans now have candidate of
their own. The contest between Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft is now 4 con-
test for the control of the Republican
organization and nothing more. The
menace of third term no longer hangs
over the country. The menace of per
sonal government no longer threatens
American institutions. The United
States is not to he Mexicanized. 1t ID
- - A-~~:n~o;vo.l
1t is because Gov. Wilson represents
this vital principle that The World 50
persistently urged his nomination. 1t
is because Gov. Wilson represents this
principle that the opposition within the
party was forced to surrender. It is
because Gov. Wilson represents this
principle that he will be triumphantly
elected in November. Such man is
imperatively needed, and the American
people, true to their traditions in every
crisis, have again found him.
Gov. Wilson's nomination means that
the rule of the boss is over. 1t means
that the partnership between corrupt
politics and corrupt business in nation
al politics is forcibly dissolved. II
means that the old regime of protect.

are dead.

OBITUARY.

Viola ]. Webster was born in La
Porte Co., Ind, Jan. IL, 1855, and died
in Monticello township, Mimi, July 5,
1912, in her 57th year. When but a
child, her parents moved to Howard
Co., Iowa, being among the first set
tiers.
She attended country school. At Is
years of age she commenced teaching
in the country school, but after . few
years took up work in the high school
and taught in the Cresco high school,
first in the grades, then in the Gram
mar department.
December 81, 1873, she Joined as a
life companion, H. A. Taft in marri-
age. Three children were born of this
marriage, two of them however, dying
in infancy. There are left to mourn
the loss of this loved one, beside the
husband and son, Lyell w., the daugh-
ter Elvs, father and mother, two sis
tiers. Mrs. Pascoe and Mrs. Walton.
She has been most faithful mem
ber of the methodist Episcopal church
for about sixteen years, filling differ
ent positions in the church, always
with devoted love to the Master and
strong desire to serve those around
her. She never was known to spare
herself when others needed her help in
whatever form that need might pre-
sent itself to her. After short but
very painful illness, and after all was
done that loving human ministries
could do, the Heavenly Father took
her home, it having been found the
disease had gotten such hold that it
could not be arrested in its deadly
course. She was at all times all that
good Christian, loving mother, faithful
wife, helpful friend, sympathizing
neighbor could possibly be, and many
there are who will ever think of her
with grateful and loving memory for
all she meant to them in her life.
Services were conducted at the home
by Rev. Henry Nobbs, Sunday after
noon, July z, 1912. Interment was in
Oak Lawn cemetery. Cresco, Iowa.
KUNrz
Barbara Kuntz was born Nov. 80,
1912 in Baden, Germany. She died on
July 8, 1912, at the home of her son-in-
Law, John Reinhar t, aged GO years, z

ents to Ripley county, Indiana. In
1890 she came with her husband and
family t. Winnshiek county, Iowa.
She was married fifty years ago to An
drew Kuntz on the first day of July,
1862. Ten children were born to this
union, eight, sons and two daughters.
One child, Mrs. Henry Michael. pre-
ceded her mother in death about q
year and half ago.
In her youth she Joined the German
M. E. church, and.was an active mem.
Der as also we're her children.
For the past year Mr.. Kuntz has been
in very poor health, and the constant
care and watching was too much for
Mrs. Kuntz. While willing hands Of
fered to do the work for her, she would
not listen to it, thinking it her duty to
care for her husband and that no one
else could comfort him. The sympa-
thy of their many friends is extended
to the husband and family at this time
Of sorrow and grief.
The funeral services were conducted
from the house and the German M. E.
church, Saturday July 6, assisted by
Rev. B. W. Soper of Cresco. Inter-
ment was in the church cemetery ad-
joining.
