A DEADLY CYCLONE BIX PERSONS KILLED AND MANY ARE INJURED. " A Town io Minnesota Almost Com plotfly Wiped OutWreckage Fills the Streets Other. : Paris of the State Al so SufiFsr. St. Paul, Oct. 3. The little town of St. Char! s, in Winona county, was almost completely wiped out i hy a tprnadO this afternoon. Seven people were killed and 28 were in jured. Buildings on the main Btreet of the town were ail destroy ed, and it Is feared there are bodies in the ruins. Forty -two residence aleo ere d?stroyfrd, and the total property damaged is estimated, at $100,000. ! . Among the buildings destroyed were the central school building, the Caica go Great Western depot building, the Catholic church and Parroti'et Wagon Woiks. This being Saturday, pple fiom the surrounding farms had gathered in larga numbers in the main street to do their customary shopp ng. At 2:30 the storm cloud was been approaching from the southwest, and there was,an immediate scram ble Tot places of safety. Tne tornado struck the town from the southwest quarter and mad a clean sweep through it, fol lowing almost entiiely the line of the Main s reet and devastating all the buildings on either side. Then the residences further back werd struck and many of. them blown completely away. It t eems almost miraculous that there was not a greater loss of life. Four of those killed were in "John Etwu'e Saloon when it collapsed, and tney were buried ; beneath the v wreckage. The others were in a dry-goods store, which was blown away and they wer killed by the failing waifs. Ed Peters, of Dover, was killed in the wreck of the hotel.

The chairman ,- stated that he would announce the appointment later. The students of nearly all the bigh-r insiitutions of learning in Oregon are 7 required to con tribute to athletic funds. Consensus of opinion is that it is wise to en courage atnletics with funds and other -'proper means and at the same tiie the faculty of each school should exercise supervisory rela tions io ail tnatt-r appertaining to intercollegiate a hletics. Several representatives favored the idea of enlisting the alumni of the college in athletic sports, feeling that much financial and other encour agement would accrue. Remark able unanimity of feeling prevailed, Prof. J. B. Horner presided. - Dr. Darrin, special- Submits a List of " Some Special Diseases He Treats With Elec- r ... , tricity apd Medicine.

It Csuc IllBeu sad Sometime Brlng-a . , On Dewth, Potatoes contain a poisonous alka loid known as solanine. Little of thit , poison is found in the new potatoes, ' but even fresh potatoes which have 1 grown above the surface of the soil and have a green skin are generally ' known to be poisonous, says a scien- tific authority. When potatoes are kept a long time they contain a large amount of this poison, and many cases of serious poisoning- have occurred in late summer from eating old potatoes. About ten years ago many soldiers in the German army were ill from-an un known cause. They suffered with head ache, colic, diarrhea, vomiting, weak ness, and slight stupor, and in some cases dilatation of the pupils. The matter was investigated and it was dis covered that the men had been eating potatoes , which had been kept for a long time in a damp place until thej had begun to sprout. Chemical ex- ; amination revealed the fact that these j potatoes contained 24 times as much solanine as is found in new tatoes. ; CITY SAFER THAN COUNTRY. More People Killed by Lightning in tne Ooen Thinn in the Wire- "jpfj Bound Honsea. ' It is in the country that most of the fatal accidents from lightning occur, and they are about evenly divided be tween people who are struck in houses and those who are killed in the open or while seseking refuge under a tree, says an article on lightning, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. To stand under a tree in a thunder storm is per haps; next to clinging to a lightning rod, the most dangerous position that can be chosen. The comparative saf c ty of the modern city from lightning is due to the network of wires which covers it, and the number of "tall buildings with iron points, tin roofs, metallic gutters and steel frames con nected with the water, sewer and gas pipes, which form an excellent system of conductors. Still the city is noil by any means absolutely protected, ' for when a cloud with a tremendous store of energy approaches quickly, all the wires and pipes in ten cities cannot prevent it from discharging recklessly right and left. INDIANS GETTING CIVILIZED. The Taioaroru Are OMug Up Thel CaatooM avnd Looking; Forward to CltUenahlp. It is manv Tears Kinff.TnTn -r-r,,.,, Inuians have held a "condolence," a ce.emony which to the. red men is similar to the inauguration, of a presi dent by the whdtesy says a Niagara Failg correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. In explanation of this an eld chief saysthat the Indians no longer look upon. the. ceremony of a "condolence" with the reverence of old. The Tuscaroras are the adopted children of the Six Nations, and they say that the Onondaga, the firekee'p ers of the nation, practically have dis qualified themselves for this, honor able position, and that the Tuscaroras no longer look up to them- as children are wont to do to a- parent for advice and help. - From these feelings between the adopted: children and the leading tribe of the Six Nations, it is eviden.t that the Indians are clinging closer to civ ilization and the white man's customs, and that a chasm is opening-hetween the Indian" tribes of the state.. As a re sult of this severance of tribal rela tions the Indians of western New York are looking forward to citizenship. TRICKS OF PHYSICIANS. Practice of Completing Their Edu cation Abroad Prove Almoat Alwaya ProntbIe. - ."The best thing a physician or sur geon, can do . is to go off about six months every two or three? years and give patients a chance to miss him. They will flock back to him, in swarms providing, of course, he has estab lished a reputation and gained their complete confidence." So says a lead ing and eminently successful surgeon. .- Here is a physician living in a city of 56,000 inhabitants, with a practice of $20,000 a year, of which he collects $12,000. ' "The most successful practi tioners in my town," he says, "are two young men who spent a year each in Vienna and Paris, apparently study ing the latest methods and cores. -All that they knew they learned right- in New York, but the mere fact of their having taken a, ' course or two in Europey-or,. having pretended to, has g,sv-en them avcgue which no one who has never been- abroad can appreciate. i A foreign reputation is worth $10,000 .a year ..to a S3 000 doctor.' - . . ;.f. :' JUROR HAD RED HAIR." And Reaented Remark o-f FVah law- yer, by RefwUg to Corn to tv , an Agreement. It behooves a lawj-er to be careful of what he says while arguing before a jury.- John C. Kinnear, a practition er in Xew York, realizes thisfactthor oughly, says' the Albany Argus, and all because of a remark he made not long ago in the Yorkville municipal court.. He appeared on behalf of another law yer who was suing a corporation for $500 for services alleged to have been performed. The evidence adduced made out quite a strong case for the plaintiff, whose counsel made a telling speech. He reviewed the facts in clev er fashion, and toward the close of his remarks- said that . the corporation would have paid but for the fact that a "redheaded lobster of a junior partner had objected, and thus precipitated, legal proceedings. The court rebuked Mr. Kinnear for using such language and the lawyer apologized. But he had done the mischief. All the jurymen but one tittered, and he had red hair. The judge delivered his charge strong ly in favor of the plaintiff and the jury retired. Everj-body expect ed a ver Hict in a few minutes, but in a couple of hours words reached the court that there was no prospect of an agree ment. -" -With one exception the jury was agreed on a verdict for plaintiff. The exception was : the red-headed man. who said: "Perhaps the"lawyer thinks it's smart to call people red headed loDsters. I don't." The court finally discharged the jury and Lawyer Kinnear is still digesting the lesson. Uncle- Siaai'n New Seal. The state department is to indulge itself with a new great seal of the United States, as the old one is so worn that it will not make a clean-cut im pression on the documents'it is used on. Congressappropriated $1,200 to have a new seal cut; but the.old de sign, of course, will be followed faith fully. Only three seals have been formed since the formation of the gov ernment, they having been made in 1782, 1841 and 1SS5, respectively. . Wanted.
