BILL'S. POLITML
UNITED
By Thomas E. Hill.
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

DEATH IN A CYCLONE.
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.
MARSDEN, ANNA, teacher in the
Coombs school, near Ireton.
MARSDEN, GEORGE, brother to. An
na, teacher In another school near
Ireton.
MARSDEN. CHARLES, killed near
Sioux Center.
POST, MRS., killed near Sioux Center.
SCHWERDEFEGER, RUDOLPH, 21
years old; killed by lightning near
Sutherland.
STIMMER. PETER, killed In his house
near Laurens by lightning.
TWO CHILDREN of L. B. 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. Physicians already
have set out from Hull, Orange City,

conceivable obstacle to keep them from
reaching the scene of the storm. 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

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.

Moch Destruction.
Bradford, Pa., May 4. The sky is
haay from the numerous forest fires la
this vicinity. Between Kettler and
Rasselas along the line of the Erie
road the woods are a mass of flame.
In that vicinity are millions of feet of
hemlock logs and large quantities of
timber.
Near Crawford Junction a fire has
been burning fiercely and threatens th
destruction of oil property. Another Art
Is raging between McAmbley's and
Mount Jewett and In the vicinity of
Haselwood on the Bradford, Bardell
Klnzua road. The woods are on fire
on either side of the track. The fire la
spreading with great rapidity and It
Is almost Impossible to check the flames.

prevent the fire from destroying oil
property which Is In danger. All springs
are dried up and unless It rains soon

ANOTHER RISE IN LEATHER.

New Tork, May 4. Another rise In
the price of leather was the unwelcome
news that went through the shoe trade
yesterday. The advance amounted to
15 per cent, which means that $4.75 will
now be charged for shoes that formerly
old for $3, while the $4 shoes will now
cost $5.75. 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.

with a view to destroying property. A

Statesmen Are Indicted.

State Treasurer Charles Klttleson, of
Minneapolis. The men are Indicted as
