ARE KILLED
Xew Richmoud, the Greatest Sufferer,
Almost Wiped Out Scores Were
Burned Alive Only a Partial List
of the Dead and Dying is Obtain
able. St. Paul, June 13. 4 :30 a. m. Scores
of persons were killed the number may
reach into the hundreds and hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of property
were destroyed by a cyclone that swept
acroes the Mississippi valley east ami
slightly north of this city last night,
practically annihilating the village of
New Richmond and causing great prop
erty loss also at Hudson, Wis., and at
Hasting;, Minn., and In the section of
country lying between.
Now great lias been tho loes of life,
it Is impossible to tell, for the storm has
interrupted communication with Iluilion
and New Richmond and reports have
come in a roundabout way.
New Richmond, a village of 2J00 in
habitants, according to the story, was
razed by the storm and s ion after was
in fl lines, tho injured persons pinned in
the wreckage being likely to die by fire.
The town was crowded with penpln who
bad come from the surrounding country
to see a circus f bowing there, and this
fact added to the destruction of life caused
by the storm. All the hotels of the vil
lage were filled with gnejts.
Throughout tho region of the storm,
crops have been destroyed. Grain has
been torn out by the roots or beaten into
the soil. Trees have been uprooted or
snapped off like straws. Fields and roads
have been flooded and sections of rail
roads on all lines passing through ihe
storm section washed out.
Coming on the heels of a heavy rain
storm on Sunday and Sunday night, the
storm has turned every small stream tri
butary to the Mississippi in this section
Into a torrent. Bridges have been swept
away and much property damaged by
oveifiow.
Details are Horrible.
New Richmond, Wis., June 13. One
hundred and seventy-five killed and 400
wounded is the estimate of casualties in
last night's storm. This Is based on in
formation received by General Manager
Scott, of the Omaha railroad. The relief
Ira n from St. Paul reached New Rich
mond early today. Besides supplies of
every kind, the train bronght twenty
nurses and twelvo doctors. The storm
struck the Omaha roa I at P., anlman,
and followed the track to New Richmond.
It passed through New Richmond south
to north and leveled tho center of the
city, and people were penned In and
scores burned alive.

Story of an Eye Witness.
Bi.aui, Neb., .Tune 14. One of the
best descriptions of the storm was re
ceived from J. A. Kelley, a Council
Bluffs traveling man.
"When it reached a point to the north
west we were terrified to see it suddenly
change its course and make directly for
the town. We all hurried into the cellar
and saw no more of the tornado, but we
knew by the frightful din that it nag
working havoc In the town. When it
had passed, we emerged from Ihe cellar
and found that the house had been
wrecked and that every building in town
had been blown down with the exception
of an Isolated few on the outskirts. The
tornado swept right down the main
street, crushing the buildings as though
they "ere eggshells. The only brick
building of importance in the town was
Ihe bank.
"After the storm I do not recall seeing
it and I presume it, too, was destroyed.
The town was a pilo of debris soaking
with wale.. In front of ui we could see
horses, pigs, and frame buildings all
heaped together. I eon 1,1 not say how
many persons were killed or how many
were injured. I saw several dead and
many wounded. Of course there were
many still alive after the storm and they
did all tiiev could to assist in the work
of rescue. When the first train left
came back.

SPEAKS FOR
-THE TRUST
Sats Tarltt' Injures Claims if Tarill
Were oil" Cuban Sugar, Refined
Sugar Would lie Three Cents a
Pound.
Washington, June 14. Henry O,
Navemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company, was examined
by the Industrie.) commievion today in
connection with the investigation of
trusts. His testimony related almost
wholly to tho sugar industry, and he
opened wilh a vigorous attack upon tho
customs tariff, which he declared was
the "mother of all trusts," becoming
such, by providing "an inordinate pro
tection to manufactured articles."
The attack was made in a written
statement, which he read. Navemeyer
asserted that n tariff of 10 per cent was
as hlg'i as any tariff should be, Ne con
tended that augur is discriminated
against in the tariff In the interest of
Louisiana canegrowers, beet-sugur-inakers
and the sugsr-makeri of the
Hawaiian islands. To these Interests,
he contended, the United States contri
buted t24.OUO.000, hich was taken out
of the pockets of the people.
Replying to quest ions by Professor
Jenks, after lie had coi.c'nded leading
his paper, Navemeyer said the American
company waa capitalixed for 'much less
than it was worth. "Cut for Ihe clamor
against trusts, he suld, "it could be
sold for three times its ripitalirition."
Yet the refineries ouhl be duplicated
t3'S,(:00,'KK) to $40,000,000. "The present
capacity of the trust is," he said,"4'i,-
000 barrels a day and the output 30,000."

IT MERITS ATTENTION
A Xew Pteparation Which Cures Dys

Trouble.
Kcmarknble CurMIr rroprrtics.
A new remedy, which may revolution
ize the treatment of stomach troubles,
bus recently been placed before tho
public and bear tho endorsement of
many leading physicians and scientific
men.
The remedy is not a won lurfu! secret
discovery, nor a patent medicine, neither
is it claimed to cure anything except in
digestion and stomach troubles, with
which nine-tenth of cur nation are
iftiicted.
The remedy is In the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lor.engers containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin (free from animal impurities)
bismruh and Golden Seal ; they are all
sold by druggists generally under the.
name of Stuart' Dyepopsia Tablet.
Many interesting experiments mado
with these tablets show that they pos

or similar wholesouio foods; these
tablets do not act on the bowels like
after-dinner pills, nor in fact do they
act upon any particular oran, but the
manner in which they cure all forms of
Indigestion 1 this : They act entirety
upon the Jood taien, digesting it com
pletely, nourishing every tissue and
nerve in the body ; ihey simply perform
thewoikof digestion, thus giving the
weak stomach rest and aseistance suffi

strength. This is the reason to many

they do not furnish the digettire power

and nnless that lack is supplied, it is
waste ot time to attempt to restore the
enfeebled stomach by means of "tocics,"
stomach bitter' and "pills" no per

If ihe stomach csn be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover; this is tho secret anil
