This is a large octavo book of 450 pages, condensed by tabulation into a small book that it may be universally sold and circulated at a low price. Its purpose is to clearly present, in a manner entirely non-partisan, the merit attaching to each party. No partiality is shown in behalf of any political organization. Like the dictionary, it simply defines. It gives the best-known argument in favor of each, and leaves the reader free to choose which he will serve. It treats upon the important live issues of the time, and is an indis pensable work to people who would intelligently discuss the political situation. It is a very exhaustive compendium of Political Facts, and literally answers thousands of questions. To illustrate: What are Democratic principles! What does a single-tax advocate propose' If all tax was placed on land, what would be the tax on the farm! What would be the tax on suburban prop erty, and how much on the acre worth two million dollars In the center of the city I What does a Republican believet Why be a Republican and favor high pro tective tariff! What are the arguments for and against protection! What do the Socialists want! "hat would be the conditions if Socialistic pi -iplea prevailed! What do the Populists desire! If government owned and operated the banks, and banks never failed, and people never hid their money and all money came out and into active circulation, and money was so abundant that interest became low, and all enterprise started up and everybody bad employment, what then! What do the Nationalists want! Why nationalize the railroads, the coal nines and various Industries! What do the eight-hour advocates pro pose! If working certain hours yields cer tain profit, how could working less hours yield more pnfltl How could women be benefited by voting) What started tbe financial panlo of 18931 Who commenced the tirade against silver, that resulted in the repeal of the Sherman law! Who started the stampede on the banks In 1893, by which 714 of them failed In eight months, and four hundred million dollars PRICES.

FIFTY-TWO PERSONS THOUGHT TO HAVE PERISHED. Wind Does Terrible Work In lows Moat Damage Done la the Sioux Center Vicinity School House. In Rains and Children Killed. Sioux City. Ia.. May 4. At least fifty two people are believed to have been killed In a terrific cyclone that passed over this part of Iowa yesterday after noon. Some persons estimate the death roll at 200 to 300, but no one can know how great the loss of life Is or how ex tensive the damage until the work of Investigation can le prosecuted In the daylight. Three school-houses are known to have been demolished, two teachers and several pupils killed, and scores of other buildings have been wrecked.' Those known to be dead are: CHILD of A. Verhoff ; killed near Sioux Center. HOGGIE, -MAMIE 8., and five broth ers; killed near Sioux Center. KERSTER, MRS. JOHN, near Sioux Center; her child blown away and not yet found.

Coombs, WATTERSON, MRS. JOHN, killed near Sibley. SAVED THE SCHOXJL-CHILDREN. The path of the cyclone seems to have been twelve miles long and from three quarters of a mile to three miles wide. It probably first centered at a point about three miles southwest of Sioux Center, Sioux county, and blew down farm houses, barns, and outbuildings. The Sioux City & Northern agent at Sioux Center reports that three school houses, three, five, and seven miles from that town were blown down at about 3:15 p. m., and that two teachers and three pupils were killed. Also re ports two other women killed and fif teen persons Injured. Train on that road Just arrived here and the conduc tor cannot confirm these reports, al though he saw houses and barns blown down and unroofed along the track north of Sioux Center. The first course of the storm cloud was northeast, crossing the Sioux City & Northern track one and one-half miles north of Sioux Center and going a mile east; there It turned and Its di rection was northwest until it again reached the railway, when It went north two miles along' the track, crossing to the west side again. Then It seems to have taken a northeasterly direction until It struck the town of Perkins, where It blew down three houses. Aid and doctors were called for from Orange City, the county seat. Seven miles southwest of Sioux Cen ter, Miss Anna T. Marsden, a teacher In the Coombs school, and two of her pupils were found dead. Two miles north of there her brother, also a school teacher, was killed. The Sioux City & Northern tracks between Perkins and Doon are washed out for several miles. Dispatches from Sioux Center at 8:30 p. m., say that be sides the three school-houses at least twenty residences and barns were swept away. Two women were found dead about 6 o'clock not far fFom the point where one of the school buildings stood. One man who arrived In Sioux Center late In the evening reported his house was blown away and his family killed. He himself escaped and reports that at least 200 or 300 people must have been killed. The parties sent out from Hull, Sioux Center, and Orange City, neighboring towns, have recovered a number of bodies, although the exact number can not be learned. It Is said Perkins, a small townsman town between Sioux Center and Doon, was directly In the path of the storm and was wiped out almost entirely.

Late in the evening news was received from Sibley to the effect a storm struck there about 6 p. m. destroying the house of John Watterson, killing Mrs. Watter son, and injuring Watterson and his son. No names can yet be learned of the people Injured about Sioux Center and Perkins. The Sioux City and Northern train brought In several passengers who wit nessed the storm. They reported thir teen bodies had been brought Into Sioux Center at 6 o'clock. They estimated fifty people must have been killed. The Northern train barely escaped a smash up near Doon, but was stopped by sec tion men before It passed upon the dan gerous territory. R'udolph Schwerdefeger, 21 years old, was killed by lightning near Sutherland, Iowa. Peter Stlmmer, a farmer, near Laurens, Iowa, was killed In his house by lightning. R. E. Arnold, a traveling man for a Chicago house, who was on the train, says he saw the storm where It passed a half-mile south of Sioux Center. He says fourteen people were killed near there. He say he saw the body of a school teacher and two children who lost their lives. THE STORM'S WORK. Iowa People and Property Suffer from Its Fury. Sioux Falls, S. D May 4.

The listed . advance was from 30 to 83 cents a pound for sole leather which formerly sold for 20 cents. There were similar advances in nearly every kind of leather, and the manu facturers have been given to under stand that the top notch has not yet been reached. All the manufacturers now have agents in the west and south soliciting orders for the fall trade, and to all these word was sent to advance prices 35 per cent. Those that find It Impossible to obtain the advanced rates have been ordered to end their tour Im mediately. , It was said in the leather district here that several factories in this city would surely shut down unless there was a decline In the prices of material.
