EXCELLENT ADVICE TO THE PEOPLE.

Hevlew of Lm^m of Life and Property by the Tornadoes of 1JIDU—The Situation at Poutero?, lA.—8nme UcceotSarloufl Windstorm*.

TOLI) TO BE READY.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—Tho disastrous cyclones through Iowa have brought a warning bulletin from tho weather bureau. The bureau claims to have predicted this and other similar storms of the year from twelve to twen-ty-four hours in advance of their arrival. The bulletin deserves spccial attention. It follows:

Tornadoes of the Year.

"noferrliiK 10 the occurrence of tho reoent tornadoes In iho wont, attention Is called to the fact that those destructive storms have been unusually numerous and severo during tho present soason. During February tornadoes were reported from Mississippi and Louisiana during March from Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Louisiana, Arkansas. Missouri, Indiana and Kentuoky fliirl&g April from OI110, Illinois, New York, West Virginia, Iowa, Arkansas, Indian territory, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota.

'•It is estimated that about 170 lives liavo bien lost ui.U pri-Mbly a million and a half dollars' worth of piorerty destroyed. The most destructive of tl sc storms. those entailing the createni loss of l'.r' and property were lhose of Murrli .1, in MlRKiss'ppl April II and 12, In Missouri April ft. tu Missouri June SI, in Kansus, ami that of July 'v in Iowa. This last storm r: cepcls all prevlmi tornadoes In tlie number of lives lost since '.h of March 27, 1899, at Louisville, Ky.

Tho llureau's (loud Work.

"In the greati-r number of these oases tho weather burouu h.is given warning from twelve to twenty-four ri In advance, and In theoase of the Iowa loratuU. messages were sent the preceding night to every weather bureau station in tiiH state, stating i:::it severe looal storms were likely to ooonr Iowa on Thursday, the Oth. The warnings wer" illssemlnataa as widely as possible throughout the state by telsphono nnd telegraph during :ho day, and the peoplo with::i resell of these ii :?nol'js were cautioned to be o'i their guard.

A Wnrnlnff.

"Special attent'has been given to the fnrerastlng of tornaa. this year by the weathor hureau, and with iii^rlced suocess. It is not to be Inferred ftmn the foregoing statement that Oir-re is a permanent change In the weather eondltions In the direction 01 the incroasc of tornadoes, but tin's is an uniiTiii il year for their occurrence, us wasalsoths yt:ur 1MBit As a matter of precaution and protection residents of the states In the upper and ceiiirtil Mississippi and Missouri valleys should provide plates of safo resort, such as a pertlon 0! the oollars In their houses nrongly protooto.i."

Tlic DisHMit at. Pomeroy, la. POMHROT, h\., July 10.—There are

now in the various hospitals here 113 people. Of this numbor ten or twelve will die fifty

are

severely injured, but

they stand a better clianco of recovery than of dying, fifteen are quite badly hurt, and the balance have merely cuts and bruir.es, most of them painful, but not dangerous. With those that have died

the

death list reaches a

total of forty-nine. This does not include the dozen or more who were killed out in the country hereabouts, but merely tho.v who were within the corporate limits of Pomcroy when the cyclonu bwooped down upon the town.

The streets are full of people who are hobbling along with canes and crutches, or who have their arms in slings or bandages over their heads and faces. These are not inoltided in tho official list. It Is therefore safe to say that fully 260 people in this neighborhood were either killed or wounded in the tornado-

r£he

total amount of damage

done by the cyclone in the state is conservatively estimated at *800,000. Scenes are heartronding as relatives from a distance come to gaze into the faces of their dead. Two hundred and eight residences were swept completely oft! tho face of the earth, and hardly a residence remains untouched, and the busi ness portion is so badly wrecked that it can be said with truth that I'omeroy is no more. It seems that as many fatalities resulted to those who went into cellars as those who staid above ground. The seven churehes of the city are all demolished and no services were held Sunday.

Gov. Boies is on the ground and is doing all in his power for the comfort of the wounded. Physicians and nurses are needed badly. Ten physicians are all that are here. Calls cannot be promptly answered. The neighboring cities and towns are providing nurses liberally, but more are needed. carloads of provisions arrive on every train and enough clothing to supply all the survivors is stacked up in the building used as the headquarters of the committee. What is needed now money. The victims Ictve plenty to eat and wear, but they are in most cases penniless. What little tliev had was their homes and what there was in them, but these have been blown awu.v. Money to rebuild is what the relief committee i.i calling for now.

DEATH IN A SQUALL.

A Brief But Violent Gale Sweeps Over Lake Michigan.

A YACHT AT CHICAGO CAPSIZES.

Four Out of Nine Persons Are Drowned--A Number of Othors Thought to HHVO IVrltthml Daitmg:* at

Jackson I'ark.

LOST ON THIS I,AKB.

CIIK \oo, July 10.—A furious wind and rainstorm swept over the city between and 6 o'clock Sunday evening and caught many a craft on Lake Michigan. Four persons are known to have been drowned and in several c^ses boats werecupeized and narrow escapes from drowning were had.

I,ost of the Yacht Chnaapenko. By the capsizing of the sailing yacht Chesapeake near the life saving station nine people were thrown into the water and four of them were drowned. Their bodies were not recovered. The dead are: Themistotles Thambolis, of Athens, Greece William B. Cornish, of Chicago Ethel H. Chase, of Boston Harvey Marlow, of Chicago.

The Chesapeake was a well built yacht and was owned by the Avery brothers, William and Fred. The former is captain and is counted skillful in handling sailboat. Tlie party had been out during the afternoon and had been enjoying the pleasant sailing1. When the storm struck them they were unprepared to battle against the sudden fury and before any on board had tim« to prepare for tho emergency they were all in the water. Some wore able to swim, but others were not. and before assistance arrived four lives had been lost.

When the yacht capsized the Avery brothers and Gray swam to the assistance of Miss Compton and succeeded in getting her back to the overturned yacht, where they clung until ('apt. McRae, of the tug Robert Terranee, who witnessed the disaster, came to their assistance. Miss Compton and Gray were unconscious when rescued and they were taken to the life saving station. It was feared at first that both would die, but they were finally revived. Ethel Chase, the young lady who was drowned, lived in Boston and was visiting friends in this city. As the vessel capsized she was caught in the rigging and held under water until dead despite the efforts of the survivors to release her. Her body was afterwards carried away by the force of the waves.

Trobably Drowued.

Just before the storm came up two boys, each about

years of age. hired

a boat at the foot of Barry avenue. They were about a mile from shore when the squall struck them. At midnight neither the boat nor its occupants had reached shore and it is feared the bo3rs were drowned.

Ten More Thought lo Be Lost. The sloop yacht Keashell started out early in the afternoon for a sail and after leaving tlie slip and passing through tho gap at Van-Buren street shaped her course about southwest. On board were ten young men, several of whom had a share in the ownership of the yacht. They were all new in handling a sailboat, and when the squall struck them they were probably helpless. The bout was crowded by this large number of people, and those who were unable to act at the crisis were in the way of the others who knew something of the workings of a boat. As quick action was the only thing that could have saved the boat and its human load, it is thought highly probable that they were capsized and drowned.

Wreuk OR' Cheltenham Dcaclt. The police at South Chicago were notified Sunday night that during the storin three young men hud been seen struggling in the lake off Cheltenham. It is believed they were drowned, but who they were is not known. Their boat was not recovered.

At (lie Fair Grounds.

CHICAGO. July 10.—A windstorm of terrific force, followed by a heavy downpour of rain, passed over the White Citjr a few minutes before 6 Sunday evening, doing considerable damage to the different buildings and the exhibits stored within. Some damage principally in broken glass—was done in nearly all the buildings, but the exact amount of harm done the displays by the soaking they received will not bo known until tho exhibitors appear to-day. The big captive balloon on Midway Plaisance was burst by the force of the cyclone and is a total loss. It had just landed a load of passengers. The loss is estimated at $:ir,000.

Twenty-Five Lives Lost.

Loxootf. July 10 —An accident resulting in the loss of twenty lives took place off Skegness, a watering place on the east coast of England. A party went from the village for a day's sail in a yacht.

WHS

CAIRO, 111., July 10. Much excitement still exists regarding the lynching' of Miller at Hard well. Ky., Friday afternoon, and grave doubts exists as to his guilt. His first examination was hcid at u-Uliffe. Ivy.. Fridnv morning. About a half-dozen of tlie leading citizens of the place and officers cf the law conducted the examination in secret session. It had been generally understood up to this time that there was blood on the person and on the clothing of the negro, and that a razor and a large pocketknife whirh he carried wero reeking with blood. In fact, telegrams had been sent to Sikeston, whore he was arrested, to this effect.. The oxanimation proved this to be entirely erroneous.

No Positive Proof.

Mr. Ray. tTie father of the murdered girls, was the chief ex*aininer and did everything in his power to get proofs as to the prisoner guilt, but was as fair lis any man could be under the circumstances. The only positive evidence that could be called good proof airainst him was the fact of his hand being covered with scratches, which must have been made by thorns, leading all to infer that he had received them while iri the blackberry patch where lie is supposed to have murdered the girls. He could not give any account of how he got these scratches.

Thejnob of more than 5.000 who had gathered at Bardwell wore thirsting for rcvonge for the brutal murder of tho innocent girls, and as tho accounts of the evidence against the prisoner were exaggerated and distorted as they went from ttjouth to mouth they had made up their minds that the prisoner i« the guilty man beyond all ^reasonable doubt. It had been determined to burn Miller at the stake and preparations had been made for doing so. As the crowd was hurrying Miller to the stake Mr. Ray, father of the murdered girls, mounted the pile of combustibles and cried: "For God's sake, gentlemen, do not burn him: we are not positive that he is guilty.''

Mob After lllood.

Then the mob having the negro, as has been told, hanged him, and a rifle ball was fired through his body. Shortly after the rille ball had entered the body all movements or contractions of the muscles ceased. A physician felt the pulse and pronounced the victim dead. Then relic hunters began their work. Kiii.vs were opened and pieces of the victim's undershirt, which had been tied around his loins, were cut. oil' until tliore was nothing left on his person. Then began a brutal treatment of the body. One man sliced off a linger, another an ear, still another a toe. This was kept up until the body was badly mutiluter,. Then some one cut a deep slit on his abdomen.

Some one suggested that they burn tlic body to save funeral expenses. This was soon decided upon ai.d the body was let down and about twenty men caught hold of the chain and dragged the wreck of a man on the ground through the streets to a point about a quarter of a mile away. Mere a great heap of wood wo* plied up, the body placed on top, more wood was piled on and the huge mass fired. The body burned slowly and it was many hours before it was consumed.

Sober Second Thought.

It is proper to say now that after the man was dead there was no feeling of jubilation manifest. Upon the contrary, a sort of mental wet blanket soemed to hover over the crowd and two out of every three men cautiously expressed doubts as to the propriety of their action and said they feared his connection with the murder was not fully established.

Miller's Althl Confirmed.

Information from a trustworthy source ut WicklifTe is that telegrams have been received there confirming Miller's statements as to where he was July 4 and !. Miller's story was thai he was at Bismarck, Mo., the morning of July 5, and no one has brought forward any evidence to the contrary. Caroful inquiry has failed to disclose a single person who will say positively that he saw Miller in Bardwell, or even Carlisle county, that day.

Horse. Are I'urolyzeil.

BI.OOMINOTON, 111., July 10.—A peculiar disease has broken out among the horses on Congressman B. F. Funk's big farm iu this county. It seems to bo a sort of paralysis, and I lie horses attacked by it live but a few hours. Three horses have died from the malady. Dr. Devere, a veterinary surgeon, sayii the disease Is anew one and difiicult to understand.
