ALL ON BOARD PROBABLY DROWNED,
BTarrow I5ape of the Twin Cities,
Paul auit Minneapolis, From
Devastation.
St
St. Paul, July 13. About 5 o'clock this
afternoon clouds, which had been threat
ening a storm, began to collect over the
region of Lake McCarron, two or three
miles north of this city, soon taking a
rotary motion, and the terrible appearance
of a cyclone. Hundreds of citizens
watcl'ed the clouds as they swept together
and followed their course to the northwest,
id which direction many friends had gODe
to spend the day at some of the many
lakes scattered over the country. Anxiety
for the absent ones drew many during the
eyening to learn the first possible particu
lars of what is thought to be undoubtedly
a disastrous storm. A young maD drove
in from Lake Coleman soon afterwards
with information that at least two persons
were killed and over 100 were injured
at that point. He bad been out there
with a young lady-friend, and t&ving
gone after his bnggy to drive home, on
bis return to where sne bad been standing,
he lound bis companiou seriously injured
by the storm which had suddenly come
upon them.
Other reports followed thick rnd fast,
each being a little worse than that which
bad preceded it. North and east of the
city there are a great many little lakes
which are sought by the multitude every
Sunday and on tbe shores cf these lakes
many campers pass the hot months of
summer. lke Coleman is one of these
and the damage there is very heavy.
Mrs. J. H.'Siurmier, wife of a prominent
business man of St. Paul, and child, were
killed. George Miller, teller ot the First
National bank, was also killed. When
the storm struck the iittle lake the boat-
house was lilted up bodily and overturned
in the water, and a boat loaded with per
sons was given similar treatment. Other
buildings were demolished or badiy
wrecked.
Lake City. Minn.. July 13. What will
probably prove to be the most disastrous
cyclone that has ever struck this commu
nity passed over the city at 5 o clock this
evening, inflicting a loss of life perhaps of
1U0 or 20U people and damaging property
to an extent that cannot at present be es
timated. People began to gather in tbe
streets, and in a few minutes tbe news
was scattered about that an excursion
boat with over 200 people on it was cap
sized in the middle of Lake Pepin. The
boat proved to be tbe steamer Seawtng.
which came down the lake from Diamond
Bluff, a small place about sixteen miles
north of here, on an excursion to the en
campment of the First regiment N. 6. S.
M , which is belo? held below this city.
The bteamer started back on the home
ward trip about 3 o'clock and although
there were signs of approaching storm it
was considered not very serious, and no
danger was anticipated. The boat was
crowded to its utmost capacity, about 150
men, women and children from Diamond
Bluff being on board, and about fifty per
sons ou a barge which was attached to the
side of the steamer. When about oppo
site Lake City the boat began to feel the
effects of the storm but tbe officers kept
on the way.
The storm increased as tbe boat con
ticued up the lake, and in fifteen min
utes was at its bight. Nearing Central
Point, about two miles above Lake City,
tbe steamer was at the mercy of the
waves, which were now washing over the
beat, and all was confusion. The boat
run on to a bar aud the. barge was cnt
loose and the steamer again set a drift
and a large number of those on the barge
jumped and swam ashore. As the barge
also floated again into deep water, those
on the barge saw the steamer as it was
carried helplessly out into the middle of
the lake, and as they were being tossed
about on the raging waters, they were
horrified a moment later to observe the
steamer capsize, and its cargo of 150 per
sons precipitated into the lake. Those on
the barge remained there until tbey drift
ed nearer the ebore, and were rescued or
swam ashore. There were about fifty in
all that were on tbe barge.
Tbe boat turned bottom, np and only
about twenty-five people were observed
to be floating on the surface. These
caught hold of tbe boat and climbed up
on tbe bottom, those securing a position
assisting others. In ten minutes more
the twenty-five or thirty who had obtain
ed momentary safety on the boat" could
observe no others of tbe boat's crews or
passengers floating on the surface of tbe
continuing high sea of waves. After
wards, however as a flash ot lightning
lighted up the surface ot tbe lake, the
sight of an occasional white dress of a
drowning woman or child was observable,
but it was impossible for those who wit
nessed the horrible sight to lend any aid,
Those remaining began calling for help
from tbe shore as soon as the storm began
to abate, nod in ha'f an hour lights were
observed flying about on the pier at Lake
City, opposite which point the upturned
steamer had now been driven. Before
help could reach them, however, tbe poor
creatures who yet remained to tell the
horrors of the night were again submitted
to another battle with the elements.
From Lake Gervais the cyclone passed
almost due east and it is reported that it
struck a settlemeut twelye miles south
east of Stillwater, demolishing it and
killing several persons. The telegraph
lines are, however, ay down aud no dis
patches can get through. Tbe scene at
Lake Gervais, along the patb of tbe storm
just after it passed by, were heartrending.
Holp was on hand at once and the wound
ed and dead were dug from under tbe
buildings and taken to the bouses of
neighbors and to tbe hospital, and tbe
dead were all collected in tbe hotel of
JobnCIeman. Amsjority of tbe buildings
were light frame structures, which were
so completely torn to pieces that tbey
really were not wrecks under which the
occupsnts could be buried. The dead
bodies were found many rods from the
houses tbey had owned wben living.
Help was asked for from White Bear, but
it was impossible to send any physicians.
Many citizens, however, went to their aid.
Half a dozen ambulances and twice that
number of physicians went from St. Paul
at 8 o'clock to minister to tbe sufferers.
Several of the dead bodies weie brought
to this city and others will remain at
Coleman's until claimed by friends and
taken borne.
NO RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Washington, July 13. There .is
danger that tbe river and harbor bill will
not pass the senate, and the decision of
tbe senate to take -up tbe tariff bill first
has caused some senators to grow rather
nervous. The estimate of expenditures,
including tbe river and harbor bill pend
ing, the -subsidy bill and tbe enforcement
of tne Lodge election bill, foot up about
$520,000,000, and Secretary Windom tsti
mates the revenues at 1450,000,000. It is
apparent that sealing down must be made
somewhere, and there are many who
would ' bciin ou the river and harbor
bill.
four months' sleep.
Philadelphia, July 14. Patrick Mee
ban, 33 years of as-c, an inmate ot the
insane department of the Philadelphia
hospital, awakened yesterday from a sleep
of four months. He recognized those
about him, and asked for an attendant who
was with him when he sank into his sium
ber. Meeban came from Ireland a tew
years ago. lie became mentally diseased
and was sent to the hospital in February
last, and was seized with la grippe in
March. His attendants found great dim
enley in keeping bun awake, and finally
be fell into a deep sleep. A lack of nour
ishment was evident by his decreasing
weight, deadlike pallor and pinched and
wan features, accompained by a corpse-
like rigidity, with no animation'. Efforts
to pry open the set jaws for the adminis
tration of food proved futile. Then i
silver tube was inserted through his nose
and down into his throat. A quart of
milk, in four doses, was first given; after
that eggs, whipped in milk, and a vary
ing liquor diet administered, together
with medicine.
Meehan slept on, witrrout moving,
wben pins were inserted into his flesh.
Electricty was aDplied, and heroic meas
ures of sleep disturbance was tried.
There is no change in his men tal condi
tion.
FIRE AT COLFAX. '
Colfax, July 14. Fire broke out at 9
o'clock this evening in a stable in the
residence district, back of Railroad street,
destroyicg a stable, owne? by Aaron
KuliD, and J. P. Adams's residence ad
oining the stable. Tbe damage cannot
be learned to night mere than approxi
mate losses. The total loss is probably
$1500, partially insured. A number of
residences were saved by bard and prompt
work. The fire is still burning, but it is
nder control. There was a panic at tbe
theatei when the alarm was sounded, but
nobody was hurt. Two arrests for disor
derly conduct were made. The lady who
discovered the fire says there is no ques
tion but that it was incendiary. She saw
man running from it.
INDIAN ATROCITIES.
Missoula, Mont, July 14. It is learn
ed from the Flathead country that another
murder has been committed in tbat re
gion last epring. The Indian Antoine,
ho is now being held for the killing of
Fiolay last week, on Thursday informed
Deputy Sheriff Grant tbat another Indian,
named Lame Louie, had told him of a
white man he had killed last spring, and
bad pointed out to him where tbe body
was concealed. He had told bim tbat tbe
white man had some $3000 on his person
wben he killed bim. Deputy Grant and
a number of men went with Antoine to a
stated point between Dayton creek and I
iug ucuu vi tuc lat&e, nuu lie u'uuuvieu
them straight to tbe spot where they
found the skeleton of tbe unfortunate and
brought tbe remains to Demcrsville. An
inquest was held and a verdict given in
accordance with Antoinc's story. A war
rant was sworn out agaiost tbe Indian,
and a posse have started out from De
mersville, which will be joined by others
on tbe way, and will endeavor to capture
the murderer. Tbe name of tbe victim is
not known.
Louie is said to be one of the most vic
ious of his tribe, and it is feared it will be
difficult to capture bim.
This incident brings to memory the fact
tbat not many weeks ago Indians were
seen at Egau and Demersviile, having in
their possession bank bills of large de
nomination, something unusual with that
class of people. They quietly flourished
$50 and $100 notes at the merchants of
that locality, though always declined to
tell when, where and bow ciucb they
were procured. ,
SHALL WE ANNEX CUBA.
Washington, July 14. Senors Munoz
and Munata, constituting a special com
mittee from tbe Spanish government have
been visiting Washington within tbe past
few days. " To-nigbt it was discovered
tbat tbe mission of the strangers is a
quasi-diplomatic one to ascertain the foot
ing both on tbe part of the government of
the United States and of Cuban residents
here as to the possible eventual annexa
tion ot tbe island of Cuba to tbe United
States. -
FEARS FATAL RESULTS.
New York, July 14. An Arizonia
cattle king was received by Dr. Dabier at
the Pasteur institute to-day. He was
bitten by a polecat about ' two months
ago, and is very apprehensive of fatal re
sults. He bases his fears upon tbe fact
tbat four men in his vicinity, who were
bitten by the same species of animal, died
afterward, showing every symptom of
hydrophobia. Tbe cattle king, whose
name Dr. Gadier refuses to make public,
came east especially to enter the Pastenr
institute. His right ear still shows marks
of the animal's teeth. Tbe ear was eaten
off while tbe cattle king was asleep in
front of bis door, and wounds in bis
head were received while batting with
and killing the creature.
INJUNCTION CASE.
Spokane Falls, July 14. A dispatch
from Wardner Idaho, says the injunction
case cf the Palmer faction against tbe
Inez & Sierra Nevada Mining Company
was decided to-day at Wallace oo a
question involving tbe validity of title of
the Palmer faction against both com
panies in favor ot the Palmer faction, and
a prepetual injunction has been granted
against both companies, restraining them
from interfering with tbe Palmer faction.
The Price of Dead-Beats.
Washington Cor. N. Y. W orld.
' Beau Hickman was the prince of Wash
ington dead beats. For more than fifty
years be worked tbe statesmen and stran
gers for drinks and loans. Henry Clay
was one of his victims, and starting here
with some money and good clothes be
managed to live for more than a generation
on tbat be could squeeze out ot strangers.
Another noted character othe came kind
was Ben Butler's nephew (a son A J.
Butler, once of California) who at one
time was Cousul-General to Egypt, and
wbo while there went to tbe Khedive and
told bim that the United States Govern
ment paid bim very poorly and be would
like to have an allowance fiom the Royal
Treasury. The Khedive gave bim some
thing and be managed to squeeze out
quite an amonnt in addition to bis salary.
He bad a number of other appointments,
but he drank himself out of all of them
and then came back to Washington to
loaf about the hotels here. One of tbe
leading restanrteurs of tbe Capital bad an
order to give bim all be wanted to eat,
but nothing to drink, and thus he lived
for some years. He was one of tbe most
brilliant writers in the United States, and
wben sober was a very entertaining con
versationalist. He was married twice
and his first wife was Rose Eytinge, tbe
actress. -She got a divoice and Butler
married a nice little woman, wbo took
care of bim almost to tbe tima of his
death. - ,. "

Salem Statesman: Tbe south-bound over
land pa83enger train Wednesday evening
ran over and killed a cow at the Cross place,
four and a half miles south of Salem. A
few days before a horse was killed at the
same place. These animals were respect
ively the property of Messrs. Tanner and
Miller. Their killing confirms the cpifiion
that some of the curves south of Salem are
genuine eiaughteryards for horses and
cattle. '
A man by the name ot Tom Lowry was
arrested a few nights ago tor creating a dis
turbance on the train. On being locked
np, being in an intoxicated state, he became
very communicative, and said he knew that
he was arrested because of some trouble in
California. - Tbe officer pretended that his
partners bad told all about the fracas, and
he freely communicated all the facts. The
sheriff -of Napa was telegraphed, and the
answer came that Lowry was wanted for
robbery, and the sheriff is now en route.

Gazette: Mr. H. Mitchell, who lives near
the foot hills about four miles north of La
Grande, met with a serious accident Friday
evening. He was leading a horse and in
some way tbe baiter became wound around
his arm. Tbe horse started to run burling
Mr. Mitchell to the ground resulting in the
dislocation and fracture of the elbow. Dr.
McDonald was called to administer suigical
aid. The patient is getting along as well as
could be expected although he is quite an
old man. It is tbonght that the wound
will heal in time, but the arm may be left
in a stiffened condition and wdl never be as
good as it was before. '

Stegman was putting a team of young
horses to a wagon bis little boy ran out and
threw his arms around the neck of a colt
which jumped, knocking him down and
stepped on his face, bruising bis face and
almost breaking his jaw. This frightened
the horses that Mr. Stegman was fastening
to the wagon so that they began to plunge
and try to get away, la their frantic
efforts to escape one of them struck Mr.
Stegman on the ankle with its fore foot,
breaking one of the bones in his leg. Mon
day Mr. Stegman started to Goldendale to

Sunday, and taken to Reading by two con
stables. They overhauled him, with sev
eral other Indians, in a cabin. The officers
had a lively time making the arrest, and
for a while it looked as if a war would be
necessary. Tbe Indian and ids father were
in the cabin, and met the officers at the
door with Winchester rifles, liob showed
fight, bnt one of the officers compelled him
to throw down bis gun. An old iquaw

There are few, if any, towns in Oregon
the size of Prineville that serves as a depot

sometime sell in one day as much as $5000
worth of goods. The annual purchase of
storkmen's supplies in this town is simply
immense. No purely agricultural region is
more prosperous than onr own. Our wealth
is our stock, from the sale of which we get
more profit than tbe valley farmer can pos
sibly obtain from the sale of wheat at 75

Bebraska Cyclone.
The following pen picture of a cyclone

brother, Dr. O. C. Hollister, of this city:

Dear Otie: I received your little note
last night and it reminded me somewhat of
the Irishman who implored bis friend if he
really were killed not to keep in "auspince
but to plaze spake np and say so."
We have not as yet visited the tree tops
under the escort of a cyelono and are not
expecting such au event immediately, owing
to scarcity of trees. Cyclones are plentiful.
We enjoyed a little diversion a few nights
ago which the natives call a tornado. Puss
and I were reposing peacefully in our downy
couch wben we were rudely awakened by a
sensation that seemed to us like uuto being
"rocked in the cradle of the deep". We rose
and appeared in great baste at the door and
enquired of cur node if he thought we had
better go on the outside. He replied tbat
if we would retiie he would investigate,
and we retired forthwith, and closed the
doors of our apartment, an act that caused
us some trouble later on.
Uncle went to the front door, .nd seeing
that the landscape was moving about in the
air in a remarkably reckless manner, he
called to us-that he would bold the front
door open, and when we really became con
vinced that the bouse was going over we
were to open our door and come out to
take our chances on the prairie. Meantime
tbe gentle zephyr continued to juggle play
fully with the bouse and Puss and I con
cluded that the moment of our grand en
trance hnd arrived.
We rejoice in double doors to our room
and on this occasion the wind was in such a
direction and was blowing witb such force
that the doors were securely locked one
against the other. We worked manfully at
tbem expecting every moment to find our
selves rattling around the ceiling and at
Ust succeeded in opening them, ooly to be
told that the aterui had passed. In our ex
citement and despair about the doors we
had not noticed that therockiug had ceased.
If the storm did nothing else, however, it
took quite a chunk of onr peace of mind, for
it has left us both in terror of wind storms.
It seems that we were just on the edge of
the path of the storm, and the only import
ant building that lay directly in the patb
was badly wrecked. It is a large brick
building containing agricultural implements
We found a large threshing machine, weigh
ing over a thousand pounds, deposited up-

Dr. Young appeared on earth two or

understand that he worked around to John
Day and took breakfast there Monday
morning. He evidently was not anxious
about escaping. The two thieves were the
one the officers were after, and they ap
peared to overlook the medicine man.
A cruel joke was played on Judge Clifford
the other day by some hoodlums who lit his
buggy lamps just before the judge started
out for a ride, and this fact was not dis

Oregon Slate Weather Bureau fit eeopero
lion with U. 8. Siynal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon. For vxekmendiny July
IS, 1S90:
Tbe temperature has been cooler than
average for the week; partly cloudy to
cloudy weather with local rains bave pre
yailed. The temperature bas ranged from
50 to 80 degrees. The amount of rainfall
has varied from .10 of an inch to over one
inch.
The weather has been unfavorable to the
haying operations; considerable was cut and
down when the rains came on, and some ot
it was injured. In addition the nine have
delayed the hay harvest, causing it to come
too close to the wheat fall harvest, which in
sections bas begun, and in most places will
be in full sway next week. The bay crop
is far better than expected.
The weather was very beneficial to the
full and spring wheat crops; also to the
corn. The fall wheat bas generally filled
very well, the berry is large and plump.
The spring wheat, which on June 1st was
thought to be worthless, is growing nicely
and will yield almost an average crop in
most seotions.
Root crops are all in a most promising
condition. Hops continue to thrive and
their yield will be above the average. The
apples are being injured by the codlin moth.
Their non-appearance at an earlier date
may be due to the backward spring. They
are evidently now appearing in full force
and are proving to be quite Injurious. Ore.
gon peaches are coming into the market.
Tbe peach crop of Southern Oregon will
not be over 50 per cent of the average.
Through the Willamette yalley the crop
will be slightly better. In Wasco county
the peach crop appears to be the beet.
Cherries are becoming scarcer. Barries
continue to be plentiful. Water and musk
melons promise a very large crop; tbey are
especially prolific in Jackson and Josephine
counties.
The grass on tbe ranges of Eastern Ore
gon is very good for tho lateness of the sea-
