A TORNADO CAUSES RUIfl
IN MANY IOWA TOWNS.
Nearly a Hundred Killed Outright
and Two Handred Injured?A Vast

?Several Towns Swept Out of
Existence?A Path of Devastation.
The worst storm cf wind, hail and rain
known in years between 8 and 11 o'clock
p. m. swept over a narrow strip of country
BOO miles long in Iowa and everything In Its
path was laid waste by the hurricane which
1a many places developed into a regular
oyclone. In the path of the "twister" werti
left rained towns, devastated farms and
several hundred dead and injured peo.
pie. Starting about ten miles Bouth
of Spencer in Northwestern Iowa, the
Btorm of wind at 8 o'clock began its work of
destruction. Taking everything before it It
swept across the State Just north of Emmetsburg
and Algona. It touched only the
southern part of. Lincoln Township, and
thence passed eastward to Manly Junction
and into the southern part of Worth
County.
The latest reports from the stricken district
of the destruction wrought indicated
that the loss of life was about seventy-five,
the Injured number, perhaps, 390.
Some of those hurt were expected to die,
and it was considered not unlikely that fully
100 persons would be numbered in thfe list
of the storm's fury. The property loss Is
very heavy.
The fury of the storm seems to have been
spent with the destruction of Spring Valley.
In this plaoe four persons were left dead,
some severely hurt, while the property loss
is estimated at $85,000, the residence portion
of the town lying directly in the path of the
At Leroy, lying' southwest, four wero
killed and several fatally injured. The destruction
of property amounts to ahout 875,000.
This Is a heavy blow to the Tillage, for
Us chief business houses lie In ruins.
Fifteen miles north of Mason City, Iowa,
four persons were killed outright and as
mnny mora probably fatally hurt, while all
the buildings struck are' total wrecks, the
loss bolng In the neighborhood of 900,000.
East at Lowthar, a town of about 100 persons
on the Chicago and Great Western,
three persons were fatally hurt and the
whole country for miles around laid in
ruins. The loss in that vicinity will probably
he not far from $100,000. Five miles north
of Osage, Iowa, six persons were killed and
a large number hurt The destruction of
farm property is quite heavy.
West of Mason City, near Britt, two persons
were killed outright, while north of
that town some half dozen lost their lives.
Three miles north of W?-sley, Kossuth
County, J. Bingham's house was overturned
and oaught fire. The inmates had a narrow
' escape. The killed in that vicinity are M.
Castle and wife, J. W. Ding man, Mrs. Tweed,
mother of Thomas Tweed; two children of
Tjomas Tweed, M. Sohweppe and two children,
Fred French and two children, Infant
of Mr. and Mrs.' Eden, and Mr. and Mrs.
Kockaw.
North of Algona seems to have been the
scene of the greatest number of deaths,
BAre persons being killed in Kossuth County
than 11 any other one county through
which the tornado passed. Nineteen funerals
were held at Algona next day.
North of Emmettsburg, which seems to
have been the place where the tornado first
assumed dangerous proportions, two lives
wore lost. From there the storm went tearing
across the country, demolishing everything
In its path.
Foi the most part of its oourse it traveled
through a farming district, Leroj* and Spring
Valley, Minn., being the only two towns of
any consequence that were damaged,' bat
even here the deaths were comparatively
few.
The fact that the storm went through a
part of 8pring Valley, and most of the resl,
dents were not aware of its work of destruction
until the fire bells were rang, shows
what a narrow strip of country was swept.
As the storm traveled through the oountry
and avoided villages and towns, the
propsrty loss Is largely confined to farm
buildings, and theso being badly soatfered
make even ah approximation of the losj Impossible,
bat conservative estimates plaoe
the damage at not less than 61,000,000.:
Incidents reported from near AJgona.
whence a relief expedition of surgeons ana
others went out show the fury of the stjorm.
The little town of Cylinder, twenty miles
west of Algona, on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railway, was literally swept
from the face of the earth.
About twenty-five miles north of that plaoe
a family named Culden, four In number,
were all killed. The town of Wiltteman,
twelve miles west of Algona, was unharmed,
but Bcbert Stevenson, a farmer living four
miles north, was killed, and his wife fatally
Injured.
Eighteen persons who sought shelter In
too nouse omae uunwit pmue wo uiurc ui
leu hut. They were going home from the
county lair at Algona.
A little further on fourteen others were
huddled into the Begelmair house. Here
Carl Barryoke was badly hurt and bis wife
was probably fatally Injured. Charles Leo
and wife and Ave children were blown away.
One of the ohlldren wis killed and the
wife badly hurt, and all of the company who
escaped death were Injured. The wife and
children of Fred Pompe, In Fenton Township,
were In the house which was completely
wrecked, but they were oovered up by the
wllng Wjdla and not one of them was hurt.
Georgew. Beavers, three miles north of
Algona, had just reached home from the
fair. He got Into the bouse with his wife
and two ohlldren and an adopted boy, and
was just going down cellar when the tornado
struck the house and demolished It.completely.
The whole family was carried with
too grains about four rods into the road.
Beavers had the baby In his arms, and with
It he mada his way to the house of Christaln
Dan, his father-in-law, for help. His wlfs
was just drinu when he returned.
"OH TO PEHN."
This Is Now the Rallying Cry Through*
' out the Japanese Empire.
Mail advices from Japan received at the
Japanese legation at Was&lngton say that
the Progressionist party In Japan has issued
a manifesto giving Its views with regard to
the prosecution of the war. The most interesting
announcements are these:
"Of the various powers in the world capaable
of being the most dangerous enemies to
Japan Is Chlnti, after wnwh come Great
Britain, Pranoe, Russia and Germany in the
*. given order. ...
"To settle the sontest decisively and to Insure
the permanent peace of the Orient it is
necessary to strike a blovp at the heart of the
enemy, Pekin.
"In three months more the mouth of the
river on which Tien-tsin is situated will
freeze, thus blocking up the passage till the
next spring. Therefore, it is essential that
Pekin should be attacked within the next
three months.
"Pekin once taken the Chinese army in
Korea would surrender at discretion, and,
therefore, whenever possible, lighting in
Korea should be avoided."
Complete harmony prevails among Japanese
of all sorts and oondltions. Irrespective
of partv or faction. uOn to Petin 1 is
the national rallying cry.
GOLD GALORE.
For Seven Months tlie Increase in
Production Is $20,000,000.
Director of the Mint Preston is in receipt
ofoffloial information from the gold-produolng
countries of the world showing that the
lnorease in production thns far for the year
aggregates $20,TOO,000. This covers a period
of only seven months, and he believes it
probable that the increase for the year will
ezeeed 140,000,000. Of the amount of increase
to the 1st of August between $6,000,000
and $7,000,000 was produced in this
country. South Africa reports an increase
of about $10,000,000, and the balance was
produced on the African coast. The reports
from several countries, including Australasia
and Bussla, hare not yet been received.
For the same period there has been a
marked falling off In tbe production of

The Great Celebration In Her Honor
Postponed on Account of the War.
8torles have been printed recently of the
enormous amount of money spent on the
birthday celebration of the Dowager Empress
of China, and this lavish expenditure
was harshly criticised as revealing the selflsh
character of the Empress It appears,
however, that injustice has been done her.
as she has ordered the money to be devoted
to prosecuting the war with Japan.
Dr. T. F. Scott, a missionary, who has just
returned from Tlen-tsin, said:
"In consequence of the war the Dowager
Empress will not celebrate the sixtieth anniversary
of her birthday this year. The
ceremony has been looked forward to for
several years, and 20,000,000 taels have been
raised for the purpose, that the event might
be observed with all splendor.
"Now the entire celebration has been
abandoned at the request ot the Dowager
Empress herself. Sne has requested that
the 20,000,000 taels raised for the purpose
be utilized la prosecuting tho war with
Japan." ____

USES FOB OLD GLOVES.
If you have any old gloves with long
wrists, just think before pitching tbem
into the waste basket and cut off the
tops and save them for fanoy work.
The kid can be easily cleaned and is
ftftrifthlA of beincr made into a number
of pretty articles. Several pieces of
tan-colored kid stitched together
along the edges will make a neat to*
baooo pouoh. Bon a drawing string
of gilt cord throngh the top, and
paint or embroider an initial or device
on the side. Yon have no idea how
pretty a tfeing it is when finished. An
opera glass bag is another thing which
can be made from two square pieces
of undressed kid. Sqleot a heliotrope
or lavender shade and paint pansiee
or violets thereon. The ribbon drawing
string should be the same color as
the flowers. Kid covers for small
books, kid hair receivers and fan bags,
kid picture frames, card oases, pin
trays and a host of other dainty articles
can be made from the despised
glove tops. This is surely the day of
small things.
THE BOTTON'S DAY.
Buttons have oome to the fore, and
they are here to stay., With the exception,
naturally, of boas, mufife,
etc., far will not be in great demand.
It is to be a button season. For both
useful and ornamental purposes the
button will be largely employed.

designs are already seen on coats and
tailor suits. They are very large, and
are elaborately ornamented with
metal. One of the newest in all-metal
buttons is the moire design, very rioh
and beautiful.
Handsome covered buttons, of finely
woven, beautif&Hy designed silk
braids, will be used on heavy winter
wraps; while for those fortunate mortals
to whom bank notes are as plenty
as leaves in antumn there are the exquisite
and expensive bronze and
miniature styles.
Silk and woolen braids, of which
many lovely patterns are to ,be had,
will naturally be seen during the button
era. These come in various
widths, some of the silk braids being
embroidered, too, with jet, steel or
gold beads.?New York World.
RfrvrTNTNE NICKNAMES.
The observant woman takes careful
note of the ohanges that are constant*
ly going on about her in dress, man*
ners and oastoms generally. One of
the most felioitous ohanges now taking
place is the passing away of the nioknamo
and the sensible return to the
good old-fashioned cognomens of half
a oentury ago. She who was baptized
Elizabeth practically ignored that
sterling name for years, and was oalled
Bessie, Lizzie, Libbie or some other
weak and undignified "pet name," but
nowadays she signs herself "Elizabeth
Stuart Brown" and takes pride in her
pretty Biblical name. So, too, that
charming girl who was wont to be
called Jennie now oomes boldly forward
and asserts herself as Jane; and
the Oarrie or Nina of a few years sinoe
very properly writes herself Caroline.

a oause for congratulation that
the little ones are being called Ruth,

SOCIETY KEEDS KUBSES.
A novel feature of the nineteenth
century health resort is the trained
nurse, who has beoome an established
institution of every fashionable rendezvous.
The custom began in hotels
patronized by invalids and has exi
tended to almost every seaside and
mountain retreat in the country. It is
weil known that every physician of
note prefers to intrust important cases
I to the care of special nurses. When
I theafl noses oofitir at a summer resort.
or as is often the oaae, the patient is
ordered by the attending physician to
one or the other place for a change of
air, a nurse is many times a necessity,
and consequently their number increases
with the proportion of summer
traveL One nurse who is a favorite
in Washington is always taken to
Nantuoket through the reoommendation
of a leading physiqian, by whom
she is regularly engaged. The same
way with the other resorts. Every
city has Its favorites among profes*
sional nurses, and in this way the profession
often finds summer work . by
no means as wearing as one would be
led to suppose.
These nurses have stated hours and
times tor everything, and are ttirb en;

abled to obtain considerable rest af
well as enjoyment, even the very busi
est of them. One can therefore readily
understand vpy the profession U
yearly growing in favor among young .
ladies of culture and refinement^
whose means are not sufficient to eat
able them to ignore work. The ad?
vantage is two-fold, as every one wfco
has enjoyed the attention of a well'
trained nurse in contrast to the igi
norant services of the Betsy Prigg and
Sairy Gamp order can testify.?Washington

FASHION NOTES.
China taffetas are popular fot evening
wear.
Line fine dress skirts with silk; they
will hang much better.
There are already purple tints dlfr
played that promise to be popular.
The three fare most in demand will
be mink, sealskin and Persian lamb. ,
One pretty combination for a gown I
is of putty oolored cloth and blue gray
silk.
A brownish pink called clover color,
flax-flower blue, drill greens and cyclamen
are among the most fashionable
colors.
A band of ribbon in irregular folds
across the front and finished at the
arms with rosettes is especially be- j
coming.
With fancy waists, collars, vests, j
waistcoats, blouses and neck dressing, |
one may almost transform an ordinary
wardrobe.
The bolero jacket still continues the
fashion, and checks and stripes, both

fashionable.
White woolen "sweaters," they say,
with soft, blaok silk sashes, will be
the thing to wear for bicycle riding
on cool mornings.
The forget-me-not is the favorite
ornamentation on the new belt buckles.
Daisies and roses can also be fonnd in
their natural colors.
Two straps crossing the front and
ending under a ribbon belt at the under
arm seam, and in rosettes at the
shoulders is effective.
Feather boaa are soft and pretty,
but have your boa made of gauze. It
is an elegant novelty and is both an
ornament and a protection.
A new shape in hats is the "Marjorie."
It turns down slightly in the
baok and to a point in front. It is becoming
as well as comfortable.
Bows are set on the shoulders quite
irrespective of other trimmings, and a
large bow on the front of a waist sometimes
extends from arm to arm.
A tomato-red silk waist is a pretty
addition to make to one's wardrobe at
this season. Diagonal bands of black
guipure insertion make an effective
trimming.
The newest waistcoats for wearing
with open ooats are made of brown '
Holland thiokly embroidered down
the front with fawn-color and white
flax threads.
Ribbon laid on a skirt in two bands
about five inches apart, and drawn together
at intervals of eight inohes and j
sewn down with rosettes of ribbon, is.
a very pretty trimming.
If your blaok silk is to be the pre-;
scribed skirt, crush belt and c^at basque,
you will need eighteen yards. |
This reminds us of the time when that ;
was the invariable pattern.
A belt requiring less ribbon is started {
at the left of the front, extends around j
the waist, and after crossing the end I
is drawn up and finished with a bow or {
rosette over th6 right side of the bust. I
The yoke effeot is made by bows
of ribbon softly folded, reaching from
the neck and shoulder seams to the
bust and finished with rosettes. Front
and baok are to be trimmed in the
same manner.
Plumage decorated with jet is fash?
ionable in quills and wings where the
outlines are marked with a jet frosting
or the celluloid spangles covar the
center, one-half of the entire face of
the ornament.
A verv effective way of using ribbon
is that of bows on the shoulder, consisting
of two loops rather long, and
two ends that are oaught up under the
puff of the sleeve, one in the back and
one in the front
Velvet is being made up as a trimming
in suoh quantities as to warrant
the belief that it is an advanced fall
style. And there is nothing prettier
or more beoommg in the whole category
of trimmings.
Tha rage for tulle for cravats and
jabots is extensive, and the oolors are
most brilliant, for instanco, yellowish
green, bright red and orange yellow.
If the gown is of a neutral
color and the hat is trimmed to harmonize,
the effect is good.
Black ribbon, satin and moire, is
used a great deal on all gowns. Even
very light oolored orepons, ginghams
and peroales have belts, bows and ends
of blaok ribbon, The contrast it,
while striking from its novelty, very
effeotive, particularly on wash gowns.
The hats grow more fanciful as the
season advances. This is all right
for the youngsters, but for their
elders it renders it difficult to make a
becoming choice. There are very
few innovations in the styles at present,
and they are all very simple and
pretty.
The latest French fashion for dressing
the hair is to wear it straight back
from the face a l'ingenue, with the
knot very high on the top of the head.
This gives a guileless, innocent look
which is very "fetching," if the
wearer has a pretty brow, and is
young and fresh enough to stand it.
Velvets, say returned importers, are
sure to be a tremendous success for
the autumn and winter' seasons for
rnsfcumes. wraps, fancy jaokets, three
quarter "dress" ooats, redingotes,
combinations, millinery, etc. Plain,
changeable, shaded and a host of
"fancies" will all have their day in
beautifying ohildren, maidens and matrons.
A most dainty bodice ia made of
soft lettuoe-green peau de soie, and
transparent gauze. The plain olosely
fitting bodice has a full high pleating
of gauze, falling like a bertha over
the full puffed elbow sleeves finished
with a ruffle of the gauze. Folded
rpointed revers of the lefctuoe green
are fashioned with rosettee at the
waist. Tie era rat is of the gauze and
if tied with two foil bows.

CASE OF COOKISG UTENSILS. 9
There is not the least excuse for M
prrimy, discolored cooking dishes. |H
With even an ordinary amount of care H
the tins in one's kitchen may be as
bright and shining as the silver displayed
on the buffet. Cake tins, patty |B
tins and frying pans don't require so
much washing as the average cook
supposes. If she only turns her labor H|
in another direction much better re-salts
may be accomplished. The trou- fljj
ble is in washing such utftnsils they
are rarely ever thoroughly dried and
in a little while they grow dull or
rusty. After the cake has been removed
from a tin and the dish is yet
warm, a piece ot clean orowu
will do the work of soap and water. IS
Frying pans may be thoroughly
cleansed by Betting them over the fire
with a email bit of fat and letting the H
fat melt and almost burn into them,
then vigorously rubbing tkern with
bits of clean paper nntil they are dry
and Bhining. Of course these methods
cannot always be employed in BBj
place of washing, but they are decid- ^9
edly better aids in keepihg tins new HI
and bright.?New York Advertiser.) BR
TO HEXD PoaCTTTiATV.
To clean porcelains, the best plan is |H|
to use soft soap, with an old tooth IB
brush Should they be very dirty, a
little vitrol and water may be used, KB
but not on those decorated over the
glaze. The edges of a piece that has
been broken and badly mended require
the greatest care in cleaning,
for, if not thoroughly cleaned, they HO
cannot be made to properly adhere to
one another. In this sort of work it Hfl
is well to prooeed in order with a first HH
washing in soap and water,then one in
vitrol and water, lastly a washing in^R
alcohol. Whatever dirt, glue, grease,^BB
etc., may still remain must be removed
hv careful scratching with a penknife.
? .
To repair a piece of pottery or por-^H
celain, after it lias been well cleaned,
is often a delicate task. When all tho^H
fragments have been saved, and whenKB
the piece is of small size, it is possible^?
to succeed by simply sticking them^H
together with a little silicatd of pot-^^J
ash alone, or mixed with powdered^M|
plaster of Paris. The silicate can beHtt
had at any druggist's. Bat some?HH
times a piece is missing and its place^^B
has to be filled with plaster of Paris.HM
Again, the silicate takes twelve hoor^^P
to uet hard, and, meanwhile, it is of-^^l
ten necessary that the piece be eup-^H|
ported in order that it may not be-^^H
come detaohed. It is sometimes, ii^^H
the case of a very valuable specimen,^^B
better to replace a fragmant that haS^H

too small to be reset, with au urtistiJ^Hj
