Chicago, 111., Feb. 19. A Tines
Mount Vernon, HI., special says:
At about 5 o'clock this afternoon a
cyclone struck this town and left it
in rains, killed fifteen to twenty
people, and it is feared many more
than are now known to have been
killed will be found among the ruins
of the buildings. Fire immediately
broke out all over the city amid the
ruins, spreading rapidly, owing to
the damage done to the engines by
the wind.
The storm passed from the south
west and had a rotary motion. It
swept down with fearful fury, strik
ing first just south of the city hall.
It carried away the third and fourth
stories of the Mt. Vernon mill. From
there it swept on in a path 500
yards wide.
The Methodist church fell just a
few minutes after 250 people had
left the Sunday school room. The
Commercial hotel lost its third sto
ry
Next the wind struck the county
court house and rendered it a heap
of ruins. By rare luck, however,
the county records were saved
Crew's block, on the south side of
the sauare, was leveled with the
earth, and under it was found the
body of John Crews, the owner,
formerly of Chicago. The roof and
second story of R. L. Stratton &
Co's hardware store were blown
away.
THE LOSS HALF A MILLION
The large two-story brick school
house did not withstand the terrible
shock any better than the smallest
house in the track of the cyclone.

Is continually going on in the hu

defend one's self, drive the desperate
enemy from the field, and restore
peace and bodily health for many
years. Try this peculiar medicine.

Reports are coming in from the
country and the storm seems to have
swept everything for miles. The
loss of life is incalculable and great
suffering will follow unless outside

proper committee. A meeting of
business men was held and commit

dead and wounded and protect the
property as much as possible.
