Dallas, Tex , Oct. 3.—Since General Nelson Miles sprung into favor with the American people because of the unceremonious manver in which be wae retired from service by Preside.t Roosevelt, his name has often been mentioned in connection with the presidency and on more than one oc- casion it has been stated that he would become a candidate for the 7 nominatiun, but the venerable old gentleman has issued an ultimatum to the contrary. Last night he issued the following statement: “I am nota candidate for avy office and do not expect to be, not even for governorship of Texas.” L. Tucker’s drug store.

St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 3.—A tornado struck St, Charles, Minn., at 2:10 p. m, to-day and ruined the town. Six pereons are reported killed and a large number injured. Two elevators, the principal furni- ture store in the town and a big flour mill are completely wrecked, while the telegraph office and saw mill are partially wrecked. From the meager information, ob- tained partly by telephone and partly by telegraph, it is learned that the bodies of six persons of the killed have been found, but only four were given. Itis feared there are a num- ber of other victims, One man was killed in the street by being struck by a plow share hurled through the air by the force of the storm. It is esti- mated that 100 houses were demol- shed in the path of the cyclone. Utter confusion reigns in the town. The streets are filled with the wreck: age of buildings, trees and farm im- plements, which were blown through the air. The horror of the affair has practically paralyzed action for the time being on the part of the citizens who stood about awe-stricken at the terrible devastation by the elements It was some time before crews began to clear away the debris, which it is feared may cover many sickening sights. St. Charles is a village of 1,500 in- habitants on the western boundary of Winona county, and is one of the oldest settlements in the state.

Mr. Leavitt first met Miss Bryan when he came to Lincoln several months ago to paint a portrait of Mr. Bryan.
