tore down the valley of the Mind

; troru a point somewhere near the

Mississippi rivers near Fort Snell

of the elements seemingly divided,
and wi'b a roar descended on the

Beginning below Fort fenellmg
there is the first evidence that the
storm struck with damaging effect.
It camo f roin the (Southwest and
howling iu its fury uprooted trees
and demolished buildings in its
pathway towards St. Paul.
It ture off two spans of the high
bridge as completely as if they had
been unbolted from the rest of the
structure and carried away by
workmen. There the bridge con
nected with the high bluffs at West
St. Paul and it is 180 feet above the
river. This mass of steel was car
ried to the flats below, where flying
steel girders and heavy planks fell
on several tmall frame houses of
the flat dwellers and crushed them
completely. None of the occupants
of these houses were hurt, they

taken refuge in the caves in the
hillside where they were safe.
Underneath the debris of the Ti
voli, were found, when the storm
had passed, the mangled bodies of
Lorin F. Hokanson, one of the em
ployes in the concert hall, and
George Kwenton, one of the au
dience. The storm then rushed on
to the Northeast, over the whole
sale district and bete the greatest
destruction to property was
wrought. After causing havoc in
St. Paul, the tornado swept onward
to Minneapolis and its suburbs.
Here, however, the destruction, of
property was not so great, although
telephone and telegraph wires
were torn down in great numbers.
For hours the twin cities were cut
off from any communication with

Sharp Letter to Rollins
-Kaucigh, August 22. The Dem-
cratic State Chairman has written
the following letter to Kepublicsn
State Chairman Thomas S Kollm:
"Your letter of August 15tt. de
clining my challenge of July 27th
for a joint debate between the can
didates on the State tickets four
respective parties, except between
the opposing candidates for one of
the minor places on the ticket, has
been received. Your letter puts
your declination upon the ground
that some of the candidates of your
party are opposed to a joint debate.
From the text of your letter it ap
pears that this opposition extends
to all your candidates on the State
ticket except one, I assume, as a
matter of course, that the candi
dates of your party, who are under
the jurisdiction of your committee,
whatever may be their personal in
clination, would obey a decision of
your committee as to a joint dis
cussion, as the candidates of my
party are ready to obey the decis
ion of my committee upon that
question I must, therefore, accept
your refusal as acquiescence by
you, aud your committee, in the
opposition of your candidates on
the State ticket to a joint discussion.
"In view of the tact that your
party held Its State convention
first, and that your platform makes
divers charges against the adminis
tration of State affalrB during the
past four years by the Democratic
party, it is surprising, to say the
least, that the candidates nominated
by your party for executive and ad
ministrative positions in the State
government should oppose a joint
discussion before the J people of
those charges, and that you should
propose to limit a joint discussion
to the opposing candidates on that
ticket whose sole duty will be to
preside over the Senate.
'You refer to certain arrange
ments you say have been made be
tween certain eandidates for Con
gress for a joint discussion, and to
an unaccepted challenge made by
one of the Democratic candidates
for Elector at Large, and express
the willingness to meet me to ar
range appointments for those dis
cussions. Under the plan of or
ganization of my party, and I pre
sumo the same is true of yours, the
State Executive Committee has no
jurisdiction over the appointments
for Congressional candidates, that
power being : vested in the District
Committee. It has never been the
ptactice of our State Committee to
make or interfere with those ap
pointments, and unsolicited inter
ference now would doubtless give
offense to these candidates and to
the District committees. Under
these circumstances, there does not
seem to be any occasion for further
communication between us with
reference to those matters."

A Good Samaritan., ;
A southern -writer tells this; story of
a negro preacher's version of the para

a traveler on a lonely road, said the
preacher, who was set upon 'by. thieves,

ever, a poor Samaritan came by and,
taking pity on the wounded man's

took him to an Inn, where he ordered
food and drink and raiment for the
man, directing the innkeeper to send
the bill to him. "And dis am a true

AMERICANS ACT ;
WITH JAPANESE.
Million Dollars Worth of Property of the
Standard Oil Company and Much Other
Foreiga Property Endangered.
Shanohai, August 21. Shanghai
was thrown into a fever of excite
ment this afternoon by the arrival
of a Japanese torpedo boat. She
passed the Woosung at full ppeed
and started up the liver at Iu for
Shanghai. The United States tor
pedo boat destroyer Chauncey,
slipped her cable and followed the
Japanese destroyer. The Japanese
boat was cleared for action. She
anchored off the Cosmopolitan
dock, where the Russian cruiser
Askold is undergoing repairs.
The taotai has notified American
Consul Goodnow, who is the dean
of the consular body," that 'China
cannot protect the foreign settle
mente. He contends that Russia
ignores the orders issued by China,
and that China has not the means
of making her obey them.
Consul Goodnow called a meeting
of the consular body to take joint
action for the protection of foreign
inhabitants. The Askold has dock
ed adjacent to the warehouses here
of the Standard Oil Company,
which are valued at over $1,000,
000. The Standard Oil Company
has demanded protection for its
property from Consul Goodnow.
The dock where the Askold lies is
owned by British interests. Inside
this dock is German and ..Dutch
property, and on the other side
American property.
There are eight American, one
German, two Biitisb and four
French warships here.
London, August 21. The inter
vention of the American squadron
ac Shanghai in the Japanese opera
tions against the Russian cruiser
Askold, created considerable 6ur
prise in official circles here. An
official of the legation said: "If the
report is not antrum, the American
commander must have had god
reason for his action, such as the
protection of American interests,
which would have been endangered
by flying' shells.
"Japan has been very reluctant
to send ships into the harbor, for
she recognized the international
character of Shanghai, and the
laws of neutrality demanded that
China should order the Askold and
the Grozovoi to dismantle or leave
the port, but she having given the
Order and the Russian ships having
refused, it was then incumbent for
Japan to act, thereby protecting
the j Chinese neutrality and at the
same time exerting her rights as a
belligerent. It would never have
done to permit Russian shipB to
remain ma Chinese port deUber
ately and avowedly violating the
neutrality of the country. What
ever reason actuated the American
commander, if he really did as re
ported, it is certain that no compli
cations will follow."
It is believed at the Japanese le
gation that if the American com-
mander intervened to preserve tW
nese neutrality, the American gov
eminent will take measures to
nforca it.
The Foreign Office has asserted
from the time of the arrival of the
A&kold and Grozovoi at Shanghai,
that it was not the business of
Great Britain to interfere, but that
it was China's duty to oDserve
strict neutrality, and it has gone so
far as to urge her to adopt this pol
icy. In the opinion of the British
officials, if the Russian ships fail to
dismantle they must take the con
sequences. At the same time, in
ternational interests cannot be per
mitted to suffer the result of mis
directed fire in case of a battle, and
it is believed that the consul general
probably will be instructed to sup
port the American consul general
in urgent representations to the
taotai that be shall take measures
to compel respect for China's neu
trality. Suicide Prevented.

remained there until 10 :30 o'clock,
when the double funeral was preached.
All that is mortal of the two soldiers

bearers tor each body, carriages with
members of families of the deceased
soldiers, staff and visiting officers of
the State Guard, police, mayor and
board of aldermen, two fire companies
in uni orm, and many private citizens.
Sevt ral thousad people gathered at
the cemetery to witness the last sad
rites over the remains ot those who
died by their own carelessness or
recklessness. At the grave taps sound
ed, the salute of honor fired and the
bodies were committed to earth.
The doable funeral was conducted
by Rev. R. Gordon Matheson, pasto.
of second Presbyterian church, in
stead of Rev. K. li Lyburn, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, com
pany chaplain, who is absent fro in the
city. The two caskets rested in the
center of the armory on a mis d plat
form which was covered wi'li the

least hurt, was able to attend toe
funeral of his comrades this morning.
He received a slight scaly wound.

ASSAILANT Oh LITTLE
GIRL IS PUNISHED.
Negro Caught the Child la a Pasture, Choked
tier Into Insensibility, Ravished Her and
Left Her Bleeding.
Ckdartown, Ga , Aug. 22. Jim
Glover, a negro, was shot to death
tonight near the borne of the white
girl he bad assaulted, and his body
dragged a distance of about a mile
into this city and burned at the
stake on the public, square.
A mob estimated at five hundred
composed theshooting party.
The crime for which the negro
was thus punished was that of com
mitting criminal assault upon little
Levia Reeves, the 13 year old
daughter of a well known farmer.
The true story of the crime is the
most revoltiug that has ever been
given, to the public from thisimme
diate section of the country. After
the little girl had protected the
negro from the attack of a large
dog owned by her father, he fol
lowed her to the pasture, where Bbe
was taking a cow, caught her.
choked her to insensibility, ravished
her, and left her bleeding and un
conscious in a cornfield. This
occurred early this morning.
Bloodhounds had been on the
negro's track all day and he was
captured some distance away late
this afternoon, and carried to the
home of the girl, who unhesitating
ly identified him as her assailant.
In the meantime a crowd of fully
five hundred persons had gathered
and summary justice meted out to
the negro as soon as it was learned
that the young girl bad positively
identified him as being the right
man. The negro confessed his
guilt. Immediately the crowd took
him away from the posse which
bad captured him and bis body
was riddled with bullets.
The crowd continued to gather,
and when the march back to- town
with the dead body (in tow began
it appeared as if full 1,000 persons
bad joined the procession. By the
time the crowd reached Uodartown
several hundred more bad been
to the crowd. About 2,000 persons
witnessed the burning as best they
could in the bright moonlight on
the most conspicuous place on Main
street. The town is in a fever of
excitement tonight, but it is thought
no trouble will follow.
(anterfe ters Arrested in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., August 20. As a
result of neat lv two months' work by
the secret service department, four
men were arrested here last night and
today, charged with making and ut
tering counterfeit ten dollar bills of
the "Buffalo" pattern. The plates
from which tho bill were printed
were surrendered and about $30,000
of the bills were recovered. ..., .
The men under arrest are Oscar L.
McMichael, a pressman in the local es
tablishment of the La ilatte Printing
Company j Clarence W. Rebb, a print
er, employed by tne same firm ; J, N.
Li tie. an artisan, who lives near this
city, and P. S. Coffey, formerly post
master at Sneed, a small town in
Upson county, where he was arrested
late to-day. There is still one man
to be arrested, and it is believed tuat
be lives in St. Louis.
The spurious bills were printed at
night in the La Ilatte establishment,
although the proprietor knew nothing
of it until he was informed by the offi
cers. He gave material assistance in
apprehending the men. Rebb was
arrested and then taken to the office
of United States Inspector James N.
Wright late yesterday, lie there con
fessed bis guilt, and his information
led to the arrest of the others. From
them it was learned where the money
that had not been passed had ..been
hidden, and officers recovered $14,000
in a cigar box iu the La Ilatte nriut
ing shop; $12,000 at Little's house;
about $4,000 in an alley in the center
of the city, beside smaller sums that
were found on the men themselves.
The bills, it is reported, are fairly
good, sufficiently so to have been ac
cepted by a number of business
bouses, including one bank In this
city; :
All the men were brojght together
today and admitted their guilt. The
inspector, in a statement this alUir
aoon, eaid that Little and Coffey met
an engraver, who is believed to hav
lived here, but who now has moved
to St Louis. From him they bought
the plates lor $500. each paying one
half. Four plates were used, one for
the front of the bill one for tho back,
one lor printing the numbers, and the
lourth for printing the seal.

Fifteei Burglarlei at Concord.
Coxcord, August 21. A band of
burglars struck town last night and
tx tween 1 o'clock and morning visited
at least fifteen places. Beginning at
Mr. E. M. Hold brook's, near the Can
non Mill, the men worked in a circuit
and at 6 o'clock went into a house out
near the Gibson Mill The tenitory
through which they operated was tome
distance from police headquarters and
no serious attempt could be made to
catch the men until after daylight.
Two men entered the home of Mr,
L. C Nash, who runs a store near the
Buffalo Mill. Tuey jumped through
the window and escaped. At the
home of Mrs. Dennis, at Gibson Mill,
a 15-year old boy engaged one of the
men, a negro, and attempted to hold
him, attacking the negro with bis fist
in lieu of anything of a more serious
nature. At the Denni home the men
jumped through the window, leaving
blood marks on the sills and a cur
tain.; "
It was evidently a pretty well-or
ganized crowd and went about the
matter in fearless as well as a me
thodical manner.
Officer Sappenfield gave one of the
men a close chase this morning about
three miles from town came close to
him. and had not tte officer been
caught in a barbed-wire fence he
would have bad ono of the men. The
intense beat was too much for ttie offi
cer and he lost bis man. The officers
are giving the matter )fose and per
sistent attention and will most likely
catch one, at least, of the men before
many hours.
One of the county officers thinks
that a white man has an organized
hand of negroes doing this work. One
house was entered after daylight.
Several attempts were made to enter
places about the city last week. At
the home of Mr. J. C. Fink a burglar
was Irightened away Friday night and
others were reported yesterday. 1
Two white men were locked up this
morning, who at first it was suspected
knew something about the raid last
night, but evidence it slight and it ie
now doubted if either knows a thing
about the burglars.
home important uevolopments may
be expected, as the officials have some
strong clews and are following them
briskly. - - -
