The entire main atreet of the town waa

Among the buildings demolished were the

the town from the southwest quarter and
made a clean sweep through It, following
almost entirely the 11ns of the main street
and devesting buildings on either side. Then
the residences further back were struok
and many of them blown completely away.
Storm Cornea Seddewly. (
It seems almost miraculous that, there
waa not a greater loss of Ufa. Four of
those killed were In John Evans' saloon
when it collapsed and they were burled
beneath the wreckage. Two others were
In a dry goods store, which was blown
away and they were killed by the falling
wells.
Ed Peters of Dover was killed In the
wreck of the hotel. The telephone ex
change was demolished and two of the
girls were seriously Injured. Their names
are not obtainable tonight.
Mr. Blandenburg was the proprietor of
a large grain elevator and he was caught
In the wreck when this was , destroyed.
He was seriously .injured.
A relief train was sent from Winona as
soon, as the news of the serious nature of
the storm was received there and physi
cians were soon busily engaged In caring
for the Injured and maimed. The storm
came upon the town with such suddenness
that It was filling the air with debris of
demolished buildings before the cltlsens
fully realised ths nature of the calamity.
Many of those Injured received their hurts
from flying missiles, while others were
caught beneath the wreckage af their
business houses or homes and remained
pinioned until rescued by. the relief party.

with provisions and clothing for those who

So far no reports have been received
of any loss, of Ufa In the country adjacent

to have followed very cloeely the boundary

KANSAS CITT, Oct. l.-Frank Buchanan
of Chicago won a final victory over Samuel
Parks and hla following this afternoon
when he waa re-elected president of the In
ternational Association of Bridge and Struc
tural Iron Workers over Hugh F. Donnelly
of Albany. N. T., by a vote of U to 40.
After the election and white Mr. Parks
and his delegates front New York were
hurrying from the hall to catch their train
for the east the regular order of business
was suspended, while the convention unani
mously paased a resolution' pledging full
support to local No. t, the New Tork walk
ing delegate's union, and he departed amid
a storm of applause. '
Parks claims a majority of the executive
board.
The convention convened In this city two
weeks ago and each day has witnessed a
bitter struggle for supremacy between the
elements led by President Buchanan and
Mr. Parks. Mr. Parks from ths start as
serted openly that he would fight to the end
for the defeat of the president for his ac
tion In suspending local No. 2 for alleged
irregularities. He displayed a wonderful
amount of personal magnetism In winning
the delegates to his support and throughout
the gathering has dominated It upon many
Important questions.
Today, however, President Buchanan won
the upper hand, when at the morning ses
sion he succeeded In getting the convention
to adopt a motion to use the Australian
system of balloting In electing all officers.
It was frankly asserted by Buchanan ad
herents 'ithat many delegates who were
fnvorabli to Buchanan and would vote for
on 1 secret ballot, refused to vote for

Mr. Parks left tor Buffalo over the
Wabash at o'clock this evening. Before
boarding the train he gave the following
statement to the Associated Press:
I am very well satisfied with the action
or the convention. I came here to protect
and defend the Interests of No. S and to
protest scalnst the hlih-hanrii .......
cratlo action of the Droaldent in n...n...

stand we have taken in New York and In
a few instances havs even gone further,
namely, the stand on the agreement be
tween the inside and the outside men, and
on the apprenticeship question. An In-
In the International association is the first
ni.uutuuin ii ins incoming administra
tion in reference to New York. We will
fro back and take up the fla-ht where we
eft off, with the full support of the Inter
national association and with the con
sciousness that we are right, and we will
win the peatest battle ever waged against
organised monopoly and greed. In a gen
eral way, I am satisfied, for I will control
a majority of ths executive board elected
today. The status of the Inside, or shop
men, waa finally decided when the conven
tion adopted an amendment to the consti
tution giving the Innlde men representation
at the ratio of eight Inslds to ten outside
men. This settles a vexed question of
many years' standing.
David Jennings of Cleveland, Charles W.
Wlnslow of Washington, D. C. and Thomas
McOovera of Albany, N. Y were appointed
as delegates to the convention of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor at Boston. H.
T. Donnelly of Albany. N. Y.. and J. P.
Carey of Buffalo were appointed delegates
to ths national building council convention
at Indianapolis. Preeldent Buchanan la
also a member of each of these delega
tions. It was decided that the headquarters

Quite a story Is attached to the Issuance

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
Mao.
I would aa soon think of starting out with
out my mileage books and grip aa to atart
out on a trip without a box of Btuart'a Dys
pepsia Tablets In my valise, said a traveling
man who represents a St. Louis hardware
house. Why? Because I have to put up
at all klnda of hotels and boarding houses.
I have to eat good, bad and Indifferent food
at all hours of ths day and night and I don't
believe any man's stomach will stand that
sort of thing without protest, anyway I
know mine won't. It has to have some
thing to break the fall and Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets Is the crutch I fall back on.
My friends often "josh" me about It, tell
ma I'm an easy mark for patent medicine
fakers, that advartised medlcinea are hum
hugs, etc.. but I notice that they are nearly
always complaining of their aches and
pains and poor digestion, while I can stand
most any old kind of fare and feel good and
ready for my work when It needs me, and I
believe I owe my good digestion and sound
health to the daily, regular use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, year In gnd year out.
and all the "joshing" In the world will
never convince me to the contrary.
I used to have heartburn about three
times a dsy and a headache about three
er four times a week and after stsndlng for
this for four or five years I began to look
around for a crutch and found it when my
doctor told me the best Investment T could
make would be a fifty cent box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and I havs Invested
about fifty cents s month for them ever
since and when I stop to think that that Is
what I spend every day for rlgsra, I feel
like shaking hands with myself for I can
keep my stomach and digestion In first class
order for fifty cents a month. I don't care
for any better life Insurance.
My druggist tells ms they are the most
aopulsr of all stomach medicines and that
t,hey have maintained their popularity and
success because they do as advertised. They

gurated last June at the smelters In this
city and the mills in Colorado City, and

strike tn support of ths demand for sn
eight-hour dsy for mill and smelter em
ployes, which bad been refused by the
American Smelting , and Refining company
and the United States Reduction and Re

order, but reluctantly, as they had no
grievance aa to their own hours of labor
or wages, and with few exceptions they
have since continued on strike.
