DOZENSDEAD
And 20 Ships Wrecked
in the Great Storm.
LOSS IS $1,000,000
Nine of the Mafaafa's Crew Perished
when that Steamer Ran Ashore
in Duluth Harbor.
Dulutli, Minn., Nov. 30. Many
lives lost and 20 shipwrecks consti
tute tile net results of the storm of the
last two days on Lake Superior. Of
the wrecks those of the steamers 11a
taafa. Crescent City, Edenborn and
Lafayette seem to be total. In addi
tion the Elwood sank in Duluth har
bor, the barge Manila, in tow of the
Lafayette, was beached near Two
Harbors, the steamers W. B. England
and Bransford were stranded, while
the barges Madeira ami Constitution
are missing.
The stranding of the Bransford on
Isle Royale was not serious, the ship
escaping with a puncture in the for
ward compartment and reaching Du
luth. The Madeira was in tow of the
Edenborn. The Constitution was in
tow of the steamer Victory. The Con
stitution is owned by Pickands, Math
er & Co. The Bransford is a Hawgood
boat. The \V. B. England is an En
gland Transit Co. boat. All the other
boats named belong to the Pittsuurj
Steamship Co.
A fireman of the Lafayette was
drowned and the second assistant en
gineer of Ihe Edenborn was lost , while
nine members of the crew of the Ma
taafa were frozen to death or drowned.
President Conlby, of the Pittsburg
Steamship Co., arrived here last night
in a special train with wrecking appa
ratus and an effort will be made to
save some of the stranded boats. The
storm has subsided. The loss to ship
ping will probably exceed $1,000,000.
Duluth, Minn., Nov. 29. — In one of
the most terrific gales in the history
of Wisconsin on the Great Lakes, even
surpassing in fury the terrible storm
of last September, in which so many
men lost their lives in the vicinity of
the Apostle Islands, three big lake
'steamers were yesterday driven
ashore within .sight of the lighthouse
at the entrance to the local harbor.
The wrecks are the Crescent City and
the Mataafa, of the Pittsburg Steam

owned by the England Transportation
Co., of Cleveland.

50 men, left last night to attempt the
release of the wooden steamer Ferd
Schlessinger, ashore on the rocks at
False Presque Isle Point. The boat
went on in a northwest gale and heavy
snow storm yesterday. The crew is
safe. Tugs have been unable to reach
the steamer Holland, high aground at
Rogers City. Late reports say two
large holes have been stove in her side
and she will probably be a total loss
unless released in a few hours.
Duluth, Dec. 1. —Dashed on the
rocks 40 miles north of Two Harbors,
the steel steamer George Spencer and

on the rocks. All of her crew were
saved, with the exception of the mate.

Harlem arrived here Friday with 17
men of the crew of the steamer

a total wreck on the east shore of Fox

149 lives have been sacrificed, over 70
ships wrecked and a loss of nearly $7.-
000,000 has been sustained in the three
big storms on the Great Lakes this

Fraser, Idaho. Nov. 27th (Special).—
Mrs. Martha J. Iv?e has given for publica
tion the following statement, concerning
Dodd's Kidney Pills:
"1 was down with Rheumatism three
times," she says,"and each time Dodd's
Kidney Pills helped ine. The last time
they cured me, and now I am able to get
around and do all my work, though 1 am
fifty-eight, and I can walk to Sunday
School every Sunday. Before I took Dodd s
Kidney Pills 1 was so bad I could use
neither hand nor foot. I shall keep
Dodd's Pills on hand all the time. '
Rheumatism is caused by L'ric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the
blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot remove
this Acid, which collects in the blood and
poisons every vein and artery. Dodu s
Kid nay Pills cure Rheumatism by curing
the Kidneys; bv healing and strengthen
ing them, so that they can rid the
blood of all impurities.
Sure Enough.
