Tornado at Waucoma.

A tornado struck Waucoma at 2
o'clock last Thursday morning, de-
molishing St. Mary's Catholic Church,
and doing other damage in the city and
southwest amounting to more than
$1OO, 600. No one was injured.
The storm came without warning aud
the damage was done so quickly that
few people realized the gravity of the
situation until all danger had passed.
The Catholic school building was un-
rooted and practically wrecked, the
priests residence was moved from it's
foundation and partially wrecked, the
front of Roberts & Baier's dray barn
was demolished and scores of residences,
barns and other buildings in the city
and country to the southwest were more
or less damaged.
The church destroyed, which was one
of the finest in this part of the state
was valued at about $25,OOO. There
has been no estimate placed on the
damage done to the school building, the
priests residence or the many other
buildings damaged. but it is said the
damage viii total conaiderably more
than 800, 600. "

New York Globe,

This reunion In Washington may
help many who have been thrown
off their balance by the present war
to keep alive their ideals. This war
has come upon an optimist and
humanitarian generation like a bru-
tai negation Of most of the prInci-
Iles we were taught to believe. 1t
has appeared to many a collapse of
civilization. 1t Is rather an effort to
save civilization 1t has plunged the
world into a moral crisis no less
serious than the military crisis. Our
nation has escaped the military crisis,
but everywhere we see the confusion
OF the moral crisis. Our solution of
the problem Is To learn to see the
war in Europe as we regard the civil
war
This does not mean to assume a
pro-war or militarist attitude No
one values peace less for his ability
to understand the spirit of Appomat-
tox. In fact there was probably no
day in our national history when
peace was so highly priced as that
day fifty years ago when this same
Grand Army was mustered out In
Washington. 1t was peace for
which men had paid the price.
peace that men won by bracery and
endurance. and not mere easy
state of non-resistance inherited
from the struggles of another age.
1t was peace that meant something
that those whc enjoyed it had proved
their right to possess it, and for the
sake of which they were not too
proud to fight"
The Washington times., 1915-09-29
New York World.

There Will be a pathetic parade to-
day in Washington of the remnant
Of the Grand Army.
Perhaps it will be the last OF the
street demonstre tons, with which
the country has been familiar for
more than a generation. for the men
are old and most OF them can march
no more. but for many year to
come there will be reunions OF these
venerable Americans. and. as was
the case with the Revolutionary an
cestors OF some OF them. the surviv-
ors will be honored TO tho end.
II as result of existing compli-
cations at home and abroad any OF
our people are inclined to question
the nationality OF the United States
or to he unduly disturbed by vexa-
tous foreign influences. let them
consider what this Grand Army was
and what 1t did
Made up of soldiers OF every raco.
nation and creed. but all American
in faith and spirit. II defended and
preserved the Union. IT settled for
ever the bubbles, tho iealousies. the
doubts. the consp!rncies. the treasons
OF those who hoped to prevail
against a divided people. II re--s-
tabished n nation to the end that
government Of the people, by the
people. and for the people shall not
perish from the earth
