The entire main atreet of the town waa literally wiped out, hardly a business place being- left standing. Forty-two residences were also destroyed and the total property damage Is estimated at 1100,000. Among the buildings demolished were the Central school building, the Chicago Great Western, depot,' the Catholic church and Parrott's wagon works.

The tornado struck 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. Another reht train wilt leave for Bt, Charles from.' Rochester In the morning with provisions and clothing for those who are destitute and homeless. So far no reports have been received of any loss, of Ufa In the country adjacent to Bt. Charles. Ths storm, however, seams to have followed very cloeely the boundary line between Minnesota and lowA, and damage to farm buildings, dwellings and grain stacks, with injury to human beings and death to live stork Is reported from several points In that locality.' The fury of the storm, however, seems to have spent Itsslf In St. Charles.

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 XjrJiy becsune of the fight that they Samuel Parks and his followers Xltlmately make upon them.

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.

A marriage license has been issued to Fred erick J. Batten.perger of Fremont county, Iowa, and Mlas Louise Mants of Swltser lsnd, and they will be married here today. Quite a story Is attached to the Issuance of the license; some time ago Batten- sperger left this country and went to Eu rope for tho purpose of marrying Miss Mants. He could not prove that ha was a single man and consequently could get no license. Affidavits from the county officers hero were sent to him and every means employed to aid him, but to no avail.

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.

The cost to the tats of maintaining the military force In the field Is satlmatsd at $50,000 a month. The unsettled conditions in the mining industry are due to the failure of ths legislature to enact an eight-hour law ap plying to mines, mills and smelters after the voters of the stats had adopted a constitutional amendment favoring such a law. An eight-hour day had been generally granted at the mines , and the Western Federation of Miners de termined to enforce the sams condition in mills and smelters. Strikes were Inau gurated last June at the smelters In this city and the mills in Colorado City, and eight weeks ago 4,000 miners in the Cripple Creek dlatrlot were ordered by the execu tive officers of the federation to go on 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 fining company. The miners obyed the 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. Hlao Owaere Bar laloa Mea. The Mine Owners' association has an nounced that no further employment will be given to any members of the Western Federation of Miners. The Portland com pany, which owns and operates a mill tor the treatment of Its ores, made agreements with the union and reopened Its mines, giving employment to about 600 men. ,The Woods Investment company also continued to operate ths Oold Coin and other mines, hipping ths ore produced to Its own mill, but yielding to pressure from the Mine Owners' association, this company has now locked out all Ita union miners and Joined In the association's fight against the West ern Federation. Several companies are operating their mines with nonunion men. Officers of ths Miners' union sssert that the number at work is small, and that most of those em ployed are laborers .nd not experienced miners. . Three week after ths Inauguration of the strike two men were murderously assaulted by unknown men. Governor Feabody then sent troops to the camp In response to s request from the Mine Owners' associa tion, which represented that many of the strikers would return to work If guaran teed protection. No violence has occurred since the soldiers took the field, but there have been many sensational Incidents te suiting from the actions of the military In making arrests and disregarding the civil authorities.
