KILLED BY CYCLONE
TORNADO SWEEPS CANADIAN
TOWN AND FIFTY PERlsHED
IN WREcKAGE.
5000 TROOPS SENT TO REGINA
Dozen Telephone Girls Plunged to
Their Death When Exchange Is
DemoIished-canadia City In
Total Darkness-Loss $4,000, 900.

Regina, Sask., July Sit was sor-
rowful sight on which Monday morn
ing broke, after the havoc wrought
by the cyclone which struck this city
early Sunday night. Citizens who had
escaped death or injury aided the po-
lice during the long, weary night in
the work Of rescuing the injured and
bodies of the dead from the ruins.
Thirty-six bodies had been recov-
cred in the ruins. The death list prob
ably will be confined to fifty. The
militia has been recalled from its an
nual encampment and is in charge of
the city.
The telephone exchange was razed
with a dozen or SO girls amongst the
debris The power plant shared the
same fate, and to make the work of
rescue more terrible, the city is in
darkness. Cyclonic clouds have
lowered around the northwest, and it
is feared the storm will return.
Before entering the city from the
southeast it destroyed the new capital
building, then it cleaned up some two
hundred or more private residences.
Then six grain elevators were blown
across the tracks, completely block
ing traffic. Then it passed away to
the northwest Chaos reigns here.
Five thousand troops are being
rushed to the scene from Sewel camp,
for already pillaging has commenced,
and the mayor has issued orders to
shoot anyone on sight seen pillaging
or robbing dead Details are very
meager from Regina and every dis
patch gives a different number of
dead Three churches were destroy
ed and hundreds of people are injured.
All hospitals are filled and stores
are being turned into morgues and
temporary hospitals. Surrounding
cities and towns are sending doctors
and nurses. All direct communication
with Regina is cut off and messages
being received here are dispatched
from neighboring towns. The three
telegraph Offices are wrecked as we'll
as the railroad stations.
The. loss will run into $5,0Q0,000 on
most conservative estimate and may
run double this amount. Dispatches
received here placed the dead at IS
with number injured who will die
Reported several villages to north
east Of here also struck but this can
not be confirmed Canadian Pacific
will accept nothing but death mes
sages for POINTS west as far as Regina.
Several fires broke out in Regina after
cyclone and two of them attained dam
gerous proportions, but heroic work on
the part Of firemen and volunteers
saved the situation, but the fire is
liable to break out again at an mo-
ment for there is the widest disorder
which the royal northwest mounted
police are not able to control.

WILSON CALLS ATTENTION
TO CORRUPT PRACTISE ACT

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 3t.-Prosc-
cutor of the Pleas G%oldenberg has re-
ceived "a communication from Gov
ernor Wilson calling his attention to
the corrupt praetises act and placing
upon the prosecutor the responsibility
for its enforcement at the election.
In view of the ballot crimes hitherto
the rule in the city aud county the
governors warning Is looked upon as
significant and win undoubtedly re-
suit in keeping fraud down to a mini
mum.
The governors letter says; ~ take
the liberty upon the eve of the APP
preaching election to call your atten-
ton to the strict provisions Of the
corrupt practises act and to beg that
you will devote your utmost energies
To seeing that the terms of the act
are absolutely complied with. The
State now prides herself ON the purity
of her elections, and while I take it
for granted that it Is not necessary
to call your attention to this law,
now that it's provisions have been so
long enforced, I nevertheless feel 1t
my official duty TO remind You of this
obligation and to say That | shall look
TO you to see that the law is obeyed
in every particular"

POLITICAL ALLIANCE is
REVEALED IN AUTO MISHAP

HACKENSACK, Oct. 31.-An auto
mobile accident at Emerson, near
here, revealed a political combination
that gave Bergen county Republicans
and Democrats food for thought, for
the victims were Freebooter WendalI
J.. Andreas, a Republican. who owned
the car, and Freeholder Edward y.
Walshe. a Democrat, who owns 6,
hotel at Edgewater.
Andreas was beaten at the Republi-
can primary, so was Walshe. The
latter. with five others, formed IN
Independent Democratic ticket for
the freeholder commission. \ f@w
days ago it was openly declared that
several Republican leaders were
working for the Independent Demo-
Gratis. =
The presence OF Freebooter Andreas
and the Democratic bolter in the car
seemed to confirm the rumor OF a
combination. Tho two f~reeholders
were severely bruised in the accident.
The auto was driven into a ditch near
the New Jersey and New York rail-
road crossing ut Emerson. turning
completely over. Freebooter Andreas
says he was confused by the fog.
The party left the Park Ridge Hotel
at II o'clock. Freebooter Hecker's
CIR. following the Andreas automo-
bile, picked up he victims and carr
ried them to llackcnsack.

In his speech Colonel Roosevelt
said:
Friends, perhaps once In a genera
tion-not more often-thcre comes "a
chance for the people of II country to
play their part wisely and fearlessly
In some great battle of the agc-long
warfare for human rights. To our
fathers the chance came in the
mighty days of Abraham Lincoln, the
man who thought and toiled and suf-
fered for the people with sad, patient
n kindly endeavor. To our fore
fathers tho chance came in the
troubled years that stretched from
the time when the First Continental
Congress gathered to the time when
Washington was inaugurated MS first
President of the republic. TO us in
our turn the chance has now come to
stand for liberty and righteousness,
as in their day these dead men stood
for liberty and righteousness. Dur
task Is not as great as theirs. Yet
1t is well nigh as important. our
task is to profit by the lessons of the
past and to check in time the evils
that grow around us, lest III failure
to do so may cause dreadful disaster
to the people. We must not sit supine
and helpless. We must not permit
the brutal selnshness Of arrogance
and the brutal selfishness of envy in
each to run unchecked it's evil course.
If we do SO, then some day shoulder
ing hatred will suddenly kindle into
n consuming flame and either WI or
our children will be called on to face
n crisis az grim as IN which this
republic has ever seen.
I'VE preach hatred TO no man, and
the spirit In which we work is as far
removed from vindictlveness as from
weakness. We are ~resoluto to do
away with the evil and we intend to
proceed with such wise and cautious
sanity as will cause the very mini
mum of disturbance that Is compati-
BILE with achieving our purpose.
when the last word shall have
been written of this epoch history
will record as it's greatest act the
leadership in 1912 by Theodore Roose-
welt, of the great struggle for justice
for o~verworked men, for overbur-
dened women and children"

THIEF WATTS ON CUSTOMER
AFTER GAGGING CLERK

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The clerk IN
the United Cigar Store, corner of
Ninth avenue and Twenty-third
street, satisfied the wants of a Gus
toner at IL o'clock last night and
then took the opportunity to drop
back into the stock room and get a
fresh batch of matches from one ct
the shelves. Some one came into the
stock room. The clerk looked around
and found himself staring into a re-
volver. The stranger jumped on him,
knocked him down, bound him hand
and foot with some rope from his
pocket and then put on the finishing
touches with a gag.
A customer entered and without the
flicker of an eyelid the thief stepped
out with sn ingratiating smile and
waited on the customers. Then he
himself departed, taking with him
500 which he had found in exploring
the cash register.
