Disaster by a Tornado.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept 2 4.—A torna
do starting in North Central Iowa
swept through Palo Alto, Hancock,
Kossuth and Worth counties, that
state, and through the southeastern
portion of Minnesota and passed off
into Wisconsin. According to the
most reliable reports so far received
from the stricken region, over forty
persons were killed aud a score or
more injured, while great damage
was done to villages and farms.
A message from Emmettsbnrg,
Iowa, reports that twenty people
were killed there.
At Osage, Iowa, five or more per
sons were killed and great damage
done.
Near North Cerro Gordo, the torna
do destroyed eight farm houses and
killed Ellery McKercher, John Pat
terson, D. L. Haddow and Mrs. F. D.
T. Iladdow. Miss Maggie Baker,
Harold McKercher, Alice McKercher,
Miss Edith Bentley and James O'Neil,
Sr., were fatally injured.
There was much des truction of life
and property at Algona, Iowa, and
east of there.
At Lowther, Iowa, a town of 100
people, tlie storm destroyed the Chi
cago Great Western depot and grain
elevators, a store and several dwell
ings. The Chicago express on the
Chicago Great Western road was de
layed. clearing the demolished build
ings from the tracks.
The villages of Kieeville and New
Haven, Iowa, were badly damaged by
the storm,many houses being wrecked
and several persons injured.
North of Mason City, Iowa, two
persons were killed and Mr. and Mrs.
Haddon and a little child were blown
half a mile and fatally injured.
The storm struck Spring Valley,
Minn., at 10 o'clock last night. The
Winona and Southwestern depot,
windmill, water tank, oil tank and
cold storage house of the Sehelihas
Bre wing company of Winona were
utterly destroyed, together with a
dozen or more houses. Three persons
were killed and twenty otliere in
jured, some of whom will die. A
temporary hospital has been opened
for the injured, while others are
taken care of by friends. The dead
are: Air. and Airs. N. Dodge and a
child of Frank Alashek, C. <j. King,
Mrs. Louis Rose, Lena Rose, Airs.
Frank Alashek, John Ness’s child and
Charles Dodge are probabty fatally
injured.
The tornado next struck nomer, a
village four miles south of Winona,
injuring several people and destroy
ing three cars, the new town hall, a
general store and two houses and un
roofing another.
The storm then passed across the
Mississippi river to Marshland, on
the Wisconsin side, destroying several
houses and other structures, but in
juring no one as far as reported.
In the village of Leroy the business
portion was totally wrecked by the
tempest which swept up from the
Southwest. The loss of life was
small, only four people being killed,
but this was owing to the fact that
the residence portion was largely
spared, but barns were blown away,
cattle killed and shade trees uprooted.
Among the buildings wrecked were
Milwaukee depot, three elevators,
three flax warehouses and the opera
house. In the last named a party of
about thirty couples were enjoying a
dancing party. Two dead bodies,
those of young Finley and Gilbert
son, Have been taken out. The others
were injured and bruised, but prob
ably not seriously. The family of J.
M. Wyckoff were on their way to the
cellar when the cycloDe struck their
home, but they escaped with only
slight injuries.
During the storm fire broke out ir.
Palmer & Frown’s shoe store next to
the Caswell hotel. This building was
filled with a new stock of goods. The
building and contents were totally
consumed. The fire communicated to
Smart & Butler’s hardware store and
this was also burned, as was also tiie
Caswell hotel, tlie bare brick walls
alone remaining. Strenuous effort!
of the citizens saved the town from
further ravages by fire.
The losses by fire and storm are
estimated at about S45.000. Some of
the wrecked buildings were crushed
as if an immense weight from above
had fallen on them.
It is reported from Austin that the
town of Mason was blown down aud
that Cresco was damaged.

J. S. West of the Sixth judicial dis
trict, iu chambers to-day, decided in
the case of the state of Kansas vs. A.

constitutionality.
The Missouri «fc Kansas, the Dnrkee

DUN’S BUSINESS REVIEW1
Encouraging and Discouraging Features
In the Trade Situation.
New York, Sept.' 24.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Plenty of material for encourage
ment and also for discouragement can
be found by those who seek that and
nothing else. But business men who
want to see the situation exactly as
it is find accounts so conflicting that
it is difficult to strike a balance.
In the aggregate, business is about
a tenth larger than last year, but stilt
falls about twenty-five per cent below
a full volume for the season.
BRECKEN RIDGE LEFT.
Mr. Ovrcot Declared the Nominee for
C'ongrpftu.
Frankfort, Ky., Sept 24.—The
Democratic congressional committee
of this, the Ashland district, decided
unanimously this afternoon that VV.
C. Owens was the nominee of the party
for congress by a plurality of 255.
When the committee met soon after
noon, all the members were in attend
ance. W. C. Owens was on hand with
a big delegation of friends. W. C. 1’.
Breckinridge’s interests were looked
after by his law partner, John T.
Shelby, and a large delegation of
prominent men. Chairman Field Mc
Leod presided. A protest against Mc
Leod voting and a decision of Chair
man Carroll of the state committee
that McLeod could vote only in case
of a tie was filed in behalf of Breckin
ridge.
The following communication from
Breckinridge was received, read and
ordered filed:
To the Democratic committee of the
Seventh congressional district: Under
the statutes of Kentucky and the
order of this committee, you are duly
authorized and constituted the govern
ing authority empowered to count the
votes received by the candidates in
the primary election of September 15,.
and to declare the candidate receiv
ing the highest number of votes the
nominee of the Democratic party in
this district and you alone have the
power to determine upon the form
and manner of the proceedings you
will take to discharge this duty. In
case of contest you, and you alone,
have the power to hear and determine
such contest and decide who shall re
ceive the nomination and you owe it
to the Democratic party of the dis
trict and to your sense of right that
the duties imposed upon you shall not
be performed by anyone else nor
shall they be encroached upon.
You, and you alone, have the power
to prescribe what political qualifica
tions shall be possessed by such legal
voters as reside within the district
and desire to participate in the pri
mary, and you, and you alone, have
the right to determine whether the
rules laid down by you, and in which
were necessarily incorporated the
provisions of the statutes, have been
complied with. I deem it a duty 1
owe to the Democratic party of the
district, to my friends and to myself,
to state this principle and protest
against any action of any judge,coun
ty committee of any county, or pri
vate individual, which encroaches or
attempts to encroach upon your ex
clusive jurisdiction, so that whatever
has been done in the primary may not
be held to be precedent to be used
hereafter for the want of an open
and formal protest against it.
I formally protest against the
action of the judge of the Fourteenth
judicial district in the issue of the ex
traordinary order in the case of W. E.
Sims and others vs. others. This com
mittee met on September 8 and
adopted certain rules. The plaintiffs
waited until the afternoon of Friday,
the 9th, having had amule time to
take such steps as they deemed nec
essary and give proper notice to me
or to the nominal defendants, so that
a hearing might have been had. This
delay was known to that judge and
was of itself a cause for refusal to is
sue any restraining order, but I, as
well as the nominal defendants, lived
near enough for a notice to have been
given of the application for the re
straining order, so that the judge
might pass upon it. after a hearing,
and with the opportunity afforded to
present reason against it and the
issue of the so-called temporary
injunction, which under the
circumstances was equivalent to a
final and permanent one, and the set
ting of the hearing of any application
for its dissolution or modification for
a date six days after the election,
when it would already have accom
plished its purpose, is such an extra
ordinary abuse of the discretion
lodged in a judicial officer, even if
that officer had jurisdiction and the
order were one which on hearing
might properly have been issued, that
it ought not to pass without attract
ing universal attention and receiving
unanimous condemnation and when
it is remembered that this judge has
been for many years my bitter per
sonal enemy, permitting and partic
ipating in malignant attacks upon me
in many parts of th • country, and was
also my heated political enemy, bis
action becomes the more extraor
dinary. This action in and of itself
would justify me in making a contest
and justify this committee in refusing
to declare the beneficiary of such con
duct the nominee of the party.
1 also deem it my duty to solemnly
avow that I have not the shadow of
doubt that I have received, as against
William C. Owens of Scott count}7, a
majority of the legal Democratic
votes or this district, and that 1 am
legally entitled to be declared the
nominee of the Democratic party in
this district. The inexplicable in
crease in the vote cast at this primary
over the vote cast in 1892 would be
sufficient reason to require of this
committee an investigation. I ap
pend to this a comparative table of the
vote cast for Mr. Cleveland and my
self in 1892. and for governor in 1891,
in the eight counties constituting this
district and the vote cast at the recent
primaries.
