X Damage Caused by Cyclonic Storm in WILL REACH IMMENSE SUM Missouri. St. Louis, June 10.—It is believed that the damage caused by the ey- clone which swept ) uri between Kansas City and St. Louis will amount to at least $300,000. Communication with the majority of the cities lying in the path of the storm was completely cut off and re- stoved only at intervals. The worst damage was done at Jef- ferson City. The state prison was partially wrecked, causing damage to the extent of about $60,000. Five of the principal buildings were unroofed, while the electric light plant was put out of commission. There was no loss of life. All of the convicts were in their cells when the storm broke, which fact, it is believed, is responsi- ble for the prevention of any fatalities or rioting.

MALOY, GEORGE KIRK, Olty Olerk, Chairman, EGAN SEGURES NOMINATION Named for Governorby South Dakota Republicans. RAN AS AN INDEPENDENT Defeats Stalwart and Progressive Can- didates for the Place by Small Plu- rality—Garst, Progressive, Secures Republican Nomination for Govern- or at lowa’s Prirzary Election. Sioux Falls, S. D., June 9.—Late re- turns indicate that George W. Egan,. independent Republican candidate for governor, has won over Governor Ves sey, progressive candidate for renomi- nation, and S. H. Elrod, stalwart can- didate. Supporters of Egan claim his nomination by a plurality of from 3,000 to 3,000, The progressives say they are con: fident they have nominated the re: mainder of the state ticket and their two candidates for congress. The stal warts, on the other hand, claim their candidates, Congressmen Martin and Burke, have been renominated. Complete returns have not yet been received on the nominations of candi- dates for the legisfature. Progres- sives, however, assert they have nomi- nated a good working majority ancé will control that body. Egan greatly surprised both pre- gressives and stal ts by the man- ner in which he rolled up the vote, not only in the part of the state where ne liv but also in rethote portions. He carvied counties which were re- garded either for the progressives or stalwarts. He had conducted a spec- tacular campaign and, being an un- usuallv good speaker, won votes in all parts of South Dakota. The situation now appears to be that it will require the full vote to show whether Vessey or Egan is nom- inated for governor, with returns showing lar; v for Egan. Burke and Martin undoubtedly are in the lead for congress, with Burke securing the heaviest vote. RESULT OF IOWA PRIMARIES . J Garst, Progressive, Secures Nomina- tion for Governor. Des Moines, June 9.—Fifty-six coun- ties out of ninety-nine gave Garst, progressive Republican for the nom- ination of governor, 14,930, against 11,006 for Carroll. Two years ago these counties gave Garst 7,051, Car- roll’ 16,394. Eight Republican progressives and three standpatters were nominated for congress as follows: First district, C. A. Kennedy, stand- pat; Second, Charles Grilk, progres- sive; Third. C. E. Pickett, progressive; Fourth, Gilbert N. Haugen, progres- sive; Fifth, James W. Good, progres- sive; Sixth, N. E. Kendall, progres- sive; Seventh, S. F. Prouty, progres: sive; Eighth, H, M. Towner, standpat; Ninth, Walter Smith, standpat; Tenth, Frank P. Woods, progressive; { Eleventh, E. H. Hubbard, progressive. Almost complete unofficial returns from the Seventh district give Prouty 1,100 over Hull. This reversal is de- cided, as two years ago Hull was nom- inated by forty votes.. STALWARTS IN CONVENTION Criticise Party Members Wheo Fail to Support Policies. Milwaukee, June 9.—With praise for the Republican party, and espzcially the national administrations of Theo- dore Roosevelt and William Howard Tait, and a rebuke to men elected upon party tickets who use their office and ability to hinder, impede, delay and defeat party legislation to make political capital for themselves, Mich- ael E. Dillon of Ashland sounded the keynote of the Republican state con- vention as temporary chairman. Political parties, he said, must out- line their policies and when a major- ity of delegated individuals agree upon those principles it is the duty of men ¢legted to office by that party to aid in carrying out those policies. Emanuel L. Philipp, chairman of the executive committee, in opening the convention also criticised party mem- bers who failed to work in accordance with party policies. TWENTY WORKMEN INJURED Lightning Causes Explosion in Nitro- glycerin Plant. Cologne, June 9.—Lightning struck a nitroglycerin factory at Schlebusch, six miles from Cologne, causing a ter- rific explosion which was felt here and was thought by many persons to be an earthquake. The explosion occur: red at the noon hour, when the men had stopped * work. Twenty were wounded, several of them dangerous- 1y, and a large section of the building was destroyed.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 9.—As an offset to the action of Eastern church organizations in deciding to bombard Governor Gillett with postal cards pro- testing against the Jeffries-Johnson fight local men have started a move- ment to have 100,000 cards sent to Gillett urging him not to interfere. The protest will urge the governor “to pay no attention to the narrow persons who seek to prevent the fight, but to give men with real blood in their veins a chance to see the great sporting event.” TO PERSONALLY THANK TAFT Shippers Will Commend His Action in Holding Up Rate Increase.

Kidney Troubles May Be Sapping Your Life Away.—Bemidji People Have Learned This Fact. When a healthy man or woman begins to run down without ap- parent cause, becomes weak, lan- guid,despressed, suffers backache, dizzy spells and urinary disorders, look to the kidneys for the cause of it all, Keep the kidneys well and they will keep you well Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kid- neys and keep them well.

New York, June 9.—Wall street has & real headache. The smart financiers, the men who in the past have so merrily “fleeced the lamb,” are sore and they snarl when spoken to. They have been “whipsawed” and the job was pulled off by the very element that in the past has been considered fair meat by the sharp bulls and bears. The market opened Tuesday with all stocks up thres to eight points and the professionals who sold so cheer- fully the day before had to pay the higher prices to deliver the goods. All day Tuesday they sought to locate the source of the smart buying of the final hours of Monday, but not until now did it develop that it was the same slick crowd of Washingtonians and their allies that had originally sold the market before the attorney general began his railroad injunction suit. They had caught the street going and coming. t Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, June 8.—Wheat—1July, $1.04%; Sept, 924@923c; Dec., 90%c.

DOUBLE CROSSED Caught Coming and Going in . 1 Inever got a good a good night’s { OLD SOLDIER MAKES STRONG STATEMENT John Lynch, is an inmate of the Soldiers Home at Monte Vist, Colo., In a recent communication, which he desires to be given the widest possible publicity, he says: “Cooper’s New Discovery medi- cine was a Godsend to me, and I am recommending it to my old comrades in the Home here. I had stomach and liver trouble for years. My sleep was so broken that I! rest. My entire system became affected. I felt weak and tired out all the time, and was declining doctors and other remedies which I used. For twenty years I took more or less medicine of various kinds, with little benefit. “I was finally induced to try Cooper’s New Discovery, and it has made me sound and well. There is not a sign of liver nor stomach trouble left, and I feel wonderfully strengthened and invigorated.” All the vital organs, the blood and nervous system, the recuperative | forces, are supported by the stomach, i which is therefore the conservator of life and health. When the stomach has been abused, all sorts of dis- orders ensue, maladies of most kinds being due to derangement of its functions. Indigestion and dyspepsia are the most common results. The liver becomes inactive, creating biliousness and worse; the bowels become constipated, and their failure to oust the fecal matter poisons the entire system. The kidneys also pay the penalty of this neglect—suffering and disease soon gain control. If your health is not all that it should be, get a treatment of Cooper’s New Discovery at once.

NATIONAL GRUDE OIL GO. 1. W, HELLEMAN BUILDING LOS ANGELES In years past, the question of mvestment has been left very largely to the professional banker, and the large individual buyers of securities. Men or women possessed of a few hundred or a few thousand dollars. were quite content to remain savings depositors, and did not feel cape.tblie of entering into what they csusidered the unknown field of investment." Todfay, how?ve.r,. it is quite different. The real investor who is served by the investment banker is the ‘mdxvxdm‘al possessor of from $500.00 to $10,000.00. He is beginning to learn that he can 'mvest his money safely in good STOCKS, which will earn from 10 per cent to 20 per cent instead of about 3 per cent or 4 per cent. He may do it by the purchase of STOCKS in wl.nch the bank.s themselves invest, or upon which they loan their funds. He has found that high grade oil STOCKS represent the foundation of the large and conservativ‘e for.tunes of the _country, and that they are held by Banks, Trust Companies and the large private investor.
