A specinl dispatch from St. Cloud, Minn.,
says a cyclone occurred tbcro on the 14th,
about 3 o'clock, in the Masonic cemetery,
forming n. whirlwind about 1,000 fect in
diameter. It took almost every tree in a
circle from the ground or twisted it off at
the trunk. Great stones were torn up and
carried along with the wind, moving slowly
along in a northeasterly direction. It
"wrecked the Catholic chapel and several
"houses in its course across tho prnirie ad
joining town.
It completely demolished John Schwnrtz's
largo brick houso and scattered fifty or
more smallor framo houses like so ninny
feathers. In most cases nothing wns left
to mnrk the, site of the dwelling but col
lars. The prairies were strewn with tim
bers, furniture and clothing. The freight
depot of tho Manitoba road was a total
wreck, nnd numerous cars, loaded witii
freight, wore blown halt a mile and the
rails wrenched from the track. It pasted
tho limit m of the town just west of Lieiit.
Gov. Gilmore's residence, killing f.everal
horses.
It crossed the Mississippi at tho fault
Riwr wagon bridge, which it deinornliz-d.
It here widened to 000 fect and levelled
Stanton's mist mill. From hero it swept
through the centre of the town taking t he
best of the business part of it, including the
court house, hotel, public school, and every
important business building in town except
Wood's store.
The village is virtually wiped out, four
fifths of the buildings being levelled. Tho
fatalities in St. ( loud though gieat arc not
equal in number to those in Sauk Hapids.
In every house most all the inmates were
more or less hurt.
Tho dead at St. Cloud so far as known
are as follows:

batd;.
From Sauk Hapids tho storm struck
Rico's station, lienton county, demolishing
tho village and killing or ir.juringnearly tho
entire population. Mho wires are down
and no definite information is obtainable
from there.
Nearly all I ho buildings in St. Cloud de
molished by the cyclone were small frame
houses occup ed by workinginen, who were
absent, nnd only (heir wives and children
in the houses. The pecu iary loss will
reach nbout G1, 000 at St. ( loud. More
damage was done at Sauk Rapids, where
tho properly destroyed was of a more valu
able character. The latest reports give tho
number of killed in St. Cloud as fifteen and
the injured at twenty-live.

nine dead nnd nearly UOO injured, with
ninny still missing whoso bodies will prob
ably bo recovered to-night. Just enough
housos wero left in Sauk Hapids to form a
ring around the village iinutH. Tlio debris
wns not piled in heaps, but scattered
far and wide. At Sauk Rapids depot a
basket full of books wero picked up by tho
Htorm and dumped at Rico Station, several
miles distant. This shows tho terriblo
power of tho storm. No reports yet re
ceived from outlying districts, whore it is
believed groat destruction of proporty nnd
loss of life has occurred. Tho storm ex

of searching for tho dead among tho debris
of this storm-swept section still continues,
whilo tho recovered remains, blnckened nnd

The following nppcal, prepnred by Grand
Master Workman Powderly, is furnished
to tho press by General Secretary Turner,
nnd copies of tho document wero mailed
from the general office of the Knights of
Lnbor in Philadelphia to other assemblies
of tho order in tho United States and Can
ad a:
lo the order wherever found: Greetings
You havo all read of tho great strike on
tne Uuulil lines ol railway in tho south
west. Its history is being written day by
day. It makes no dilferenco now whether
tho men of the southwest acted wisely or
not. Let us pass that part of the affair,
(or it, too, has passed into history. Tho
general executive board of tho order
attempted to sottle tho troublo and
restore harmony. Agreements were made
with them by Jay Gould, Ksq., but when
the bonrd reached St. Louis he would not
treat with them; not thnt alone, but ho
positively refused to employ Knights of
Labor, whether they had been active in the
3trike or not. It now becomes tho part of
every man and womnn in theorder to take
up tho light of tho men of the southwest
nnd assist them to the full extent of
their means. They have been idle for nearly
two months. They have had a most trving
ordeal to go through nnd are now out of
funds. It requires no eloquence or rhetoric
to plena the cause ol these suffering peon c
They require aid and it becomes our dutv
to extend that aid as quickly as possiblo
for us to do so. Send every dollar you can
spare to the goneinl secretary and trcus
urer, who will at onco forward it to tho
men at St. Louis fordistribution. Remem
her tho men out there do not ask for
charity; they do not nsk nt all. It is your
executive board that makes the appeal in
their behal!. tie who gives quickly gives
doubly at once. Their nppea. may be
sent to you, nnd wo ask of you to prepnro
for it now. Wo must bo judged by our
actions in this matter. Do not pass reso
lutions condemning capital, for wo nre not
fighting capital. Do not antagonize tho
thousands of men who havo wealth by do
nouncingcapital. Let usconcentrntepvery
effort to the winning of tho contest, wo havo
before us. Let us make a friend of every
man w ho has suirercd through monopoly
This battle against tho man who repre
sents monopoly must bo lought out man
fully. Watch hisactiotis everywhere. Keen
nn eye on tho doings of congress. Urge tho
comiuilteo that lias been appointed to do
ts duty fenrlessly, strengthen their hands,
and give them every aid.
In conclusion, let us nsk again that you
send at once over' dollnr you can at pres
tut raise lo uphold tho men who are now
out along tho lines of tho nouthwest sys
tern ol tho Oould railway. Uo not delay
and at the same time make ready to bring
the whole power of the order to bear upon
tho man who wrecks railroads, homes, for
tunes and lives in his greed for gold. Let
us determine to havo it go into history
that tho men of 18SG struck ns grand a
blow for liberty as tho men of 1 770. Tho
men ni 1 h 0 broke tho power of monnrchy
arid d"lhroned tho king. Tho power which
they wrested from the liands of a king wns
not so great as that which is now held by
one man, who through tho corrupt use ol
money bus brought manuiacturor and
workmen to ruin. Tho power of tho king
has passed away; the power of wealth is
passing away. And it must be determined
whether man shall rule, or whether illegitl
mate wealth shall rule.

St. Louis dispatch, 14th: Tho striko
situation to-day has been one of remarka
bio quietude, nnd matters seem to bo going
along very smoothly. The correspondence
between Messrs. Powderly and Gould is re
ceived hero as indicative of a determination
to "stand" it out for some time yet,
.Money is commencing to pour into tho gen
oral executive board, and tho prospects
are that they will themselves bring into tho
battle not only tho power of unified labor,
but will buck that up with considerable
capital. They claim that tho order can
and will raiso $100,000 per week, if noccs
sary, for tho fight. Thero hns been nothing
accomplished by the committee of citizens
appointed at tho Tuesday night's meeting,
and nobody scoins to expect that thoy will
do aiiio to secure any modification ol air.
Iloxio's former position.
Tho railronds aro doing some business.
but it is not satisfactory either in volumo
or dispatch, and but little confidence is felt
by the business peoplo generally that thoy
will soon bo able to do all tho accumulated
work of tho past six weeks. Therefore
offerings of freight nro not largo.
PROSPECTS OF THE TARIFF HILL
Tho IIoiino 1V1U I'roluibly Debate II
Despllo a lleslro to Adjourn.
Tho prosposition is being discussed, says
a Washington dispatch, which would havo
an important bearing upon adjournment,
to raiso tho question of consideration when
the tariff bill is called up, which would at
onco bring a voto upon tho issuo whether
tho houso will order tho tariff question at
nil at this session. The probabilities, how
ever, aro that n general debate will first bo
allowed and a voto taken upon striking out
tho enacting clause. This go .oral debato
will occupy not less than two weeks, and
possibly more. In that event tho question
of consideration shall bo voted down. If.
on tho othor hand, tho enacting clause
shall bo stricken out, tho bill will bo
considered lino for lino and will lit
open to amendment, upon which further
debate can bo had undor tho five-
minuto rule. This will consume at least
two additional weeks, which would occupy
tho tlmo far into tlio mouth of June, nnd to
tho exclusion of appropriation nnd all
other bills. Whilo it is true tho appropria
tion bills will not require so much timo for
consideration as heretofore because no-v
legislation ennnot now bo placed upon
them, yet fowor appropriation bills havo
pnsscd tho houso than is usual at this
period of tho session. In tho meantiino no
action has yet boon taken upon tho vnrious
land grant forfeiture bills, tho inter-state
commerco bill, tho bankruptcy bill, the cdu
cational bill and other important meas
ures in addition to tlio bills reported in tho
morning hour and still ponding as unfin
ished business. The outlook for early ad
journment is not favorable, creating great
uneasiness nmong members anxious to re
turn homo to repair fences, nnd is therefore
likely to operate ns a force against consid
eration of the tariff. Tlio opinion of old
mombers, howovor, ia that congress will bo
in session most of the mouth of July nnd
possibly In August.
Lands In Washington Territory.
Senator Dolph raported favorably from
tho committee on public lands the bill to
forfeit nil lands which appertain to and nre
coterminous with that pnrtof tho Northern
Pacific main line extending from Wnllula
Junction, Washington territory, to Port
land, Oregon, except such of tho lauds us
appertain to branch lines across tho Cas
cade mountains. Tho bill also provides
that where persons are now in possession
of lands forfeited bv the bill under deeds
secured from tho railroad company, they
shall hnvo tho right to purchnselands from
the Pulled States in quantities not exceed
ing U20 ncrcs for SU.D0 per acre.

Washington special to the Omaha Herald
Another labor mass meeting was held in
Armory hall to-night. The hull wns filled
many ladies occupying tho front seats
Representatives Farquurhar, Swlncburn
nnd Foran wore tho only congressmen on
tho platform. Congressman Farquahar, of
New ork, presided, and in his opening re.
marks acknowledged in his selection of pre-
siding olliccr an honor to his craft. Ho re
viewed the work of organized labor in this
country, which, through repeated failures,
had reached a position which attracted tho
attention of all at thepresentday. Spent
ingot the eight-hour law ho said tho time
would como when tho hours of woikingmen
must be shortened. Ho said that notwith
standing the East St. Louis massacre no
more blood would be shod in labor trouble
in America. Instead of tho bullet tho
American workinginen would hereafter
settle their troubles with tlio ballot.
Frank L. Fogg, n prominent Knight of
Labor, addressing the meeting, said ho
wanted congress to know that workingtui'u
were getting ready to brej.k Ioomi from nil
political parties. Tlio consolidated rail
road companies, the national bank, tho
tiirifi monopolies, the s-tundard oil, the
coal men hnd run the government long
enough. Tom Scott. William 11. under.
bilt and Jay Gould had taught workingnion
communism, agrariauism, socialism, organ
ization and defence, and by the Kternul
Living God they would profit by that
teachings."
Mr. Fogg wanted toabolislinll tariff laws
turn every custom houso into an asylum
tor trams, and protect American industry
by reducing the cost of capital. He said
capital was high, transportation was lugli,
and labor low.
Senator Voorhces, who camo late on tho
platform, spoke briefly and endoied tho
coinbuiation on the part ol workiugiiieu to
protect their interests. Tho danger to
liberty was not from tho classes who labor,
but rather from those "who toil not neithei
do they spin." Tlio senator in closin
apologized for the brevity of his remarks,
nnd nssutcd his hearers and workingiueii
tiiat in the future, as in the past, while ho
might not talk much to them, his record
would show that ids votes were always
r glit.
Congressman O'Hara, tho colored ropre
sentativo from North Carolina, also spoke
assuring the w orkingmeu that ho was heart
and soul with them in the work of reform
Woikingmen were endeavoring to freo tho
country from tho hist vestige of slavery
He said that through armed force we had
freed the country of negro slavery, and
through organization workingiueii should
Ireo labor from every form of oppress'on,
( iiiigiessniau Murphy of Iown inaih a
brief speech urging the construction of tho
Hennepin Canal. As the son of a working-
man he wanted to give workinginen some
substantial benefit in the shape o" a water
way which would cheapen the cost of trans
portalion to the consumers of tho east
and so compete with and control railroad
magnates such as .lay (lould.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the

Men possessed of high rank nnd for
tunes hnvc, and no donbt uhvnys will
hnvc, deference pnid to them, but the
deference of former days was not that
of to-day. Sir Walter Scott was tho
first man of letters in 18 LI), a personal
friend of the prince regent, caressed by
all tho wit nnd fashion and beauty of
England and Scotland, and yet wo
find him writing to Lord Montagu on
the death of tho duke of lhtccleuch:
"I nover thought it possiblo that a
man could havo loved another so
much where the distance of rank was
so very great." Crabbo drew a pain
ful picture of tho courtier's position,
the bitterness of which ho felt himself:
"I'pon thy lord with decent caro at
tend." The great nobles desired to re
tain their inlluence, and did so by
living in tho country; they imposed
upon tho public by thoir stale and by
lavwh and magnificent hospitality,
such as that shown by Lord
Ksremont at Petworth, Lord Duek
ingham at Slowe, tho duke of Heau
fort at Iladminton, Mr. Coke at Uolk
hnni and Lord Fitzwilliam at Wont
worth; they hirnislied tho province
with a court which might well comparo
in display with the royal one, and far
exceeded it in decency. Tlio law was
inclined and was strained to respect
the prerogatives of peers. A sugges
tion that Lord Lonsdale's face might
fitly bo taken to represent that of tho
devil was mado tho subject of a crimi
nal prosecution. This samo Lord
Lonsdale, on being stopped when driv
ing in Mount street by theollicerof tho
guards on duty, exclaimed: "You ras
cal, do you know 1 am peer of tho
realm?" Capt. Cuthbert replied: "I
don't know you nro a peer, but 1 know
you area scoundrel." A duel followed,
but unattended by fatal results. In
ono of Miss Kdgeworth's stories the
duke of Greenwich is represented as es
tranged from Lord Aldborough be
cause his correspondent had not sealed
a letter to him, and I havo no doubt
that tho trait is drawn from real life,
because in a correspondence with Lord
Buckingham Lord Sydney alludes to
odense having been taken on account
of his addressing Lord Buckingham in
the samo strain as that in which
Lord Buckingham had address
ed him probably without his
title. No preacher would in
those days speak in his funeral sermon
of a woman who was lately "a great
and good duchess on earth, and is now a
great and good duchess in heaven."
Civility, decent civility, in a peer,
seems to entitlo him, in tho eyes of his
admirers, to special eulogy. "I have
known Lord Sandwich apologize to a
lieutenant in the navy for not being
able to bo exact to his appointment,"
writes a friend of his lordship. Disliop
"Warburton is spoken of as beyond
measure condescending and courte
ous, having graciously handed somo
biscuits and wino on a salver to a cu
rate who was to read prayers. The
position of a peer is no doubt less im
posing now, but it is probably more
comfortable; stato is avoided becauso
it brings no corresponding advantage.
Lord Abercorn, traveling in 1811) be
tween Carlisle and Longtown, was
preceded by tho ladies of his fnmily
and his household in five carriages,
whilo ho brought up tho rear mounted
on a small pony, and decorated over
his riding dress with tho libbonand
star of tho garter. In this guiso ho
would now bo taken for tho advanco

Mini a Fitfhtin? Animal.
Do what wo will with him, man is
naturally a fighting animal. Thero is
a curious autobiography to bo found
in Southern bookshops, written by an
old hunter about a century ago.
Thero is tho samo thirst for blood and
fierce lovo of tho chaso in it as if a
beast of prey or grayhound wero toll
ing its story. Tho most amusing ex
ainplo is whero the old man tells how
ho and his sons onco trained some
young dogs to limit bears. "I put on
tho skin of an old bear," ho says,
"and crawled on all fours, whilo Elisha
and Job drovo tho pups on. Thoy
wero scared at first, but presently tho
wholo six attacked mo furiously, bit
my calves, toro my hair, hung on my
ears. I began to shout 'Enough!' but
Lisha cried, 'Don't, dad, don't! Its
tho life of tho pups." lie adds, ''Of
courso I staid. J had consideration
for tho dogs." It takes a great deal
j j i- .i.f . ; i; l.
oi training to roou one vnis iusuucl
from men who inherit it. Everybody
knows tho history of tho lighting
Quakers during the revolutionary war.
Many of tho staid sons of staid sires
of tho samo faith slipped out of meet
ing during tho last war to shoulder a
musket. Onu venerablo old friend in
Germnntown, Pa., found that threo
of his sons had gono to this conflict
against which his creed arrayed him.
Tho youngest lelt that he, too, must
go, but fearing to tell his family, ho
took his gun one day and began to
cloan it, placing himself in his father's
way. The eld gentleman saw him and
paced slowly up and down, but snid
nothing. Presently ho approached tho
young man. "Charles," hosaiu, delib
erately, "If tho dovil has mado thco
feel that theo need ono of these world
ly instruments sparo not thy money,
but get tho best." Alexander Camp
bell, tho most combativo of Scotch re
formers and theologians, onco submit
ted his head to tho lingers of a phren
ologist, who had no knowledgo of Mr.
Campboll's calling. Tho man finished
liis examination with tho words,
"From your executive ability and
lovo of fighting, sir, you aro or ought
to bo a great soldier." Tho aged

ITow to sec Your Ancestors.
When tho early Puritans settled in
New England, their customs wero of
the simplest possiblo kind. At that
timo they dined plainly and frugally.
Their descendants have, however, ex
tended tho list of dishes, nnd havo
substituted tho French word menu
for tho old fashioned bill of fare. They
i havo also mado that menu ns French
j as possible, often to tho disgust of tho
diner, who has to puzzle his brain to
find out what filet do brvuf aux to
matoes farcies is, nover thinking that
this high-sounding title isnow given to
tho plain old dish that used to bo
called roast beef and tonmto sauco.
Thero are, howovor, articles of diet
that aro purely American in origin.
If thero is anything in tho list of nr
ticleo of tood which is essentially Amet
icftn, it is turkey.
"Vo may well call tho turkey tho
national bird," said a chief at an up
town hotel to a reporter for tho Mail
and Kxpress recently. "And I think it
would bo a more appropriate emblem
than tho eagle, for 1 guess there is not
an American living who has not at
somo time or other eaten turkey.
Roast beef is essentially Mnglish, roast
turkey is unquestionably American.
Properly roasted I believe tho turkey
to bo tho most palatable article on
the list of good things."
"Aro thero not many othor dishes
as distinctly American as tho turkey?
asked tho scribe.
"I might mention pork and beans.
Then thero is chicken pot -pie, which I
boliovo was discovered somewhero in
tho New ICngland States."
A gentleman who has tho reputation
of being a diner-out, when asked if ho
knew of anything that belonged dis
tinctly to tho American cuisine re
plied: "Yes, I believe that pio was
first produced in this country. You
know all our torefathers wero of a
somewhat exuberant turn of mind,
and in order to tone down their spirits
wero forced to adopt a dyspeptic diet,
so thoy took kindly to pie particular
ly to mince pie. L don't think any
thing will subduo an exuberance of
spirits quicker than that miscellane
ous compound. To realize its full
benefits it wants to be eaten just
previous to retiring. I havo tried it
quito often, and although not a be
liever in spiritualism, I assert posi
tively, that I not only saw my grand
father, but a long lino of my ancestors,
way back to the time when they stood
on Plymouth Rock and hurled de
fiance across tho ocean to tho tyrants
of Europe."
"Who first discovered pork and
beans?" asked tho reporter."
"Tho origin is greatly involved in
mystery, but it is supposed to havo
been some ono who settled in Boston
centuries ago."
"What about pumpkin pio?"
"Tlio great secret of having good
pumpkin pio is not to inako it of pump
kin at all, but to use -"quash. Tho
pumpkin is the fruit of tho cueurbita
moio, an annual plant of tho natural
order of tho cueurbita ucca So is tho
squash. Hence, tho propriety of mak
ing pies of squash and calling them
pumpkin pies. "See?"
An old lady who has a great reputa
tion as a cook was next seen. She
said, looking at tho reporter over
her largo gold-framed spectacles:
"Tho French peoplo don't know
anything about eating. I can boil
doughnuts that would makoyou smile
if y ou were to eat them. Wlien I was
a girl but that is a good many years
ago, now I used to make walllos, but
children don't know what thoy aro
nowadays. Why, thero isn't a nicer
thing in tho world than walllos, unless
its crullers not thoso tough things
you buy at tho baker's, but genuine
Now England crullers, crisn and nice
enough for a king to eat. Then thero
is applo sauce; that's American. So is
applo butter; so aro buckwheat cakes."
"Aro not buckwheat cakes very in
digestible?" "Not a bit of it. If you think thoy
aro just drop in hero ono . morning to
breakfast and eat them right oil tho
griddle, with manlo syrup, and if you
say they aro indigestible, I'll nover
makoany more."
In order to find out something of
the delicacies of tho Southern table,
an old negress was seen.
"Does doy havo anything good to
eat down Souf?" she said in reply to
tho reporter's query. "Now, you'so
just shoutin', you is. Didn't yer nob
ber hyear o' possum? Nover eat 'pos
sum? Den yer don' kno' what eatin'
is, honoy. Roast 'possum and corn
cako. Bless do Lord, if I is old I lub
'possum. Many and many a timo do
young 'tins has gono out in do woods
by do light of do moon an' catched a
fino 'possum, and 1'so cooked it, whilo
all do time I was doin' it dem young
mokes was turning flip-flaps in front
ob docabin. Shoo, it makes mo feel
young again thinkin' of it."
