HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE KILLED AND INJURED. ., . Narrow Strip of 200 Mile In Minne sota and Iowa Devastated Town De stroyed and Farms Uulned A. Storm of ITnnsual Severity. - Starting about 10 miles south of Spen cer, in Northwestern Iowa, the storm of wind at 8 o'clock Saturday night began its work of destruction. This is a par tial list of the number of dead: Near Algona, 13; north of Wesley, 15; . Sm n. .4 t . o. north of Britt, 9; at Leroy, 8; at Spring Valley, 8; near Osage, 5; north of Alli son City, 4; total, 52. The towns damaged or destroyed are: Cylinder, Forest City and Mauley Junc tion in Iowa; Leroy, Spring Valley, Dodge Center, Hoir.es and Lowther, Minn., and Marshaland, Wis. Reports from the district laid waste say that the storm was the worst ever witnessed in that section. Towns were literally swept away. Big barns were picked up, crushed1 to punters and scattered broadcast nun. dreds of yards distant. Men, women and children were picked np in the terrific suction and hurled through space at lightning speed, falling to their death in the wreckage of then homes. Coffins for the dead are piled up at every station and scenes of the wildest grief are being enacted. The storm was one of indescribable grandeur. . A funnel-shaped cloud of inky blackness swept along to the north east, illuminated by almost continuous flashes of lightning, and the roar ot thunder was dep and continuous. Incidents of the storm are too numer ous to recount. From every point de tails of death and destruction" come ac companied with the same sickening and horrifying particulars. At Algona, la., 19 funerals were held Sunday and many more took place Monday, A DROP IN REAL ESTATE. Whole Sections of Kansas Land Sink Out of Sla-ht. The ground is caving in toward the center of the earth in the vicinity of the junction of Harvey , Butler and Marion counties, Kan. Great excitement pre vails among the people and many of them are getting away. The disasters are of the most unaccountable origin. and the state geologist has been stun. moned to investigate the disturbances of the earth formations. . There was no shock felt when the ground caved in bearing any resemblance to an eartb quakeL Kear White Water, on the farm of Thomas Essington, an area of 40 by 90 feet sunk to a depth of 28 feet, and when a man was let down into the bole his weight alone sunk the earth nearly three feet more. This occurred Sept. 20, and also on that date an area of 7.1 feet square sunk at Plum Grove to a depth of 350 feet. This was on the farm of Sid Jonen, the sliding-ln carrying a thresh ing machine and separator witn it. Water poured into the latter hole from underground till it filled nearly to the top, but the hole at White Water is still dry, although it is supposed that the caved-in earth is resting upon a vast body of water. The places are some seven or eight miles apart. At Anuetly, some 10 miles from White Water, there were several cave-ins rang ing in depth from 6 to 40 feet The the ories are various, but none of them so far are scientific Not long since a man was digging a well in the vicinity of Plum Grove and when he had reached a depth of 20 feet the drill shot into an apparent vacnum and could not be re covered. The supposition is that there is a dried-np subterranean river under neath the land which has caved in. All the cave-ins, great and small, extend in a crooked stream-like course, a distance of about 24 miles. ' A GREAT NAVAL BATTLE. Tha JapaneM Defeat lb. Chinese In an Important KnKaavm.Dt. Japan has won another decisive vic tory over the Chinese. At the month of the Tain river last week the naval forces of the- warring nations met in battle. After a two-days' fcjrht the Chi nese were badly defeated. Several Chi nese warships and transports were de stroyed and many men killed. The Jap anese lost no ships and only two were disabled. r our commanders or Chinese war ships were killed in the battle. Five Chinese transports are missing and three were captured by the Japanese. - All the Chinese vessels in the engagement which were not sunk were badly dis abled. Preparations for another attack are being made by the Japanese. The Chi nose authorities have strictly confined their fleet to the defense of Peking. Losses of the Japanese in the battle at Ping Tang were: Eleven officers and 154 men . killed, 60 officers and S3: men wounded and missing. Official dispatches say 3,000 Chinese were killed and a much larger number wounded. One column of Japanese captured 611 prisoners, 84 of whom were wounded. PERSONAL. Major General O. O. Howard, com mander of the Atlantic department, will retire from the army on Nov. 8 on ac count of age. General Buger of the Presidio at San Francisco is next in the line of promotion. General William Booth, who founded the Salvation Army, has arrived in this country. . He will visit all the principal cities in the United States and Canada during the next six months. He will reach California in December. General Antonio Ezeta, General Bo- lanos and Major Bustamante, three of the Salvadoran refugees at San Fran cisco, have been set free by the federal court. The court held that the offenses charged were political and therefore not extraditable. . Cienf uegos was held for extradition. All were charged with murder arson and robbery. .- A Good Thing to Keep at Hand. From the Troy, (Kansas,) Chief. Some years ago we were very much subject to spells of cholera morbus; and now when A'O feci any ot the symptoms thfit usually proceeds that ailment, sifch as sickness at the stomach, diar rhoea, oto., we become scary. We have found Chamberliu's Colic, Choi era and Diarrhoea Remedy, the very thing to straightcu one out in such oases, and always keep it about. We are not writing this for a nay testimon ial, but to let our readers know what Is, a good thing to keep handy in. the h,quse. For snls by G. II. Raskins, WASHINGTON NOTES.

The conference proposed by Mexico on the silver question between the American and Asiatic powers has been delayed by the Chinese-Japanese war. The custom of publishing the list of unclaimed letters has been abandoned by the postoffice department. The list will be bulletined at the postofilces.

Bedstone, who distinguished himself as an agitator in behalf of Coxey and the Army of the Common weal, has left for his home in Sonoma county, Cal., and he declares that next year he will head a commonweal of his own from the Golden Gate to the na tional capital, and demand the passage of the free coinage act and the various schemes advocated by Coxey. He ap pears to be envious of the fame achieved by the Ohio "general." Mr. O'Rourke, supervising architect of the treasury department, has resigned as requested by Secretary Carlisle, Examination of the tariff law dis closes the fact that it contains no pro vision for a duty upon imported fruits preserved in brandy or other spirits. The omission was not discovered until an application was received at the treas ury department from a huge importer of 6uch things for information as to their classification under the present tariff laws. Under the McKinley law "fruits preserved in spirits" were sub ject to a duty of So per cent ad valorem. It is probable that the department will decide that the beet thing to do is to as sess the duty on the spirits and fruits separately according to the rate pro Tided for each in the tariff act. In this case the duty will be, higher than it was under the old law. Solicitor of the Treasury Beeve has given an opinion that the tariff law went into operation on Aug. 28, the date on which- the bill became a law, not Ang. 1, the date mentioned in the enact ing clause. ' Colonel Breckinridge has been de feated for congressional nomination by W. C Owens after the most exciting moral political fight ever conducted in Kentucky. The women led the contest against Breckinridge with prayers and committee organizations, and it is said that their influence was instrumental in the congressman's retirement. Both sides were thoroughly organized and much bitter feeling was manifested, but there were only a few fatal encounters. Breckinridge says he wid support his succee&f ul opponent and will probably practice law in Laexington. His mends claim that his retirement will be brief and that his past experience will make his ascent rapid. Breckinridge men are talking of contesting Owens' nomina tion, and the Owens faction says that if Breckinridge ts nominated tbey will re volt and vote the Republican ticket. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
