IEOLA IN RUINS.


ABERDEEN, Oak, April 4.-The terri
bic story of the complete destruction of
Leola the county seat of Mcpherson
county, has been brought in by courier
Leola was fine little town of about SEQ
inhabitants, and the country for miles
around was settled with an industrious
and thrifty people. 1t is % miles from
railroad and telegraph facilities, and it is
difficult to get complete information
Out of thirty places of business, includ-
ing two banks, two newspapers, two
churches, three or four hotels, and al
lines of business, but four are left stand
ing, and out of thirty to forty residences
less than dozen remain. The loss is
practically complete, and will reach $50
900. The insurance was very light. c.
w. Old and Thomas Wardell were terri
bly, burned, and the cOurierS say they
cannot live. Parties who drove across
country to WestpOrt, the nearest railroad
station, say that the surrounding cOun-
try is nearly devastated. Hundreds of
farm houses are in ashes, and carcasses
of burned stock are lying along the road.
The news continues to come in slowly,
and shows the details of great disaster.
1t is probable that one-tenth of the dam
age is not yet reported. The injured
men, Old and Wardell, at last accounts
were very low. Editors IIenried and
Beach, of LeOla, are in the city. They
will publish their paper in Aberdeen at
present. Nothing definite is known
about rebuilding Citizens here will hold
a meeting this afternoon to take measures
for relief. Scores of farmers are without
seed wheat, stock, buildings, or imple-
ments to commence spring work.

HAVE been afflicted with catarrh for
twenty years; it became chronic, and
there was constant dropping of mucous
matter. 1t extended to my throat, caus
ing hoarseness and great difficulty in
speaking, indeed for years was not able
to speak more than thirty minutes, and
often this with difficulty; also, to agreat
extent, lost the sense of hearing in the
ear, and taste; by the use of Ely's Cream
Balm all dropping of mucous has ceased,
and my voice and hearing has greatly
improved.-Jas. W. Davidson, attorney

A WHIRLWIND OF FLAME

BLUNT, Oak, April 4.-The stories of
the fury of the fire continue to be brought
into town by stragglers. They say that
the wind would gather up the loose tin
der, and whirling it high in the air, carry
it ahead of the surface fire, alighting on
barns and houses and igniting the prairie
fifty yards in advance of the surface fire.
Houses and barns were burned where the
fire was carried over one hundred yards
across new broken ground. The losses
are estimated at S200,C00 in this vicinity.
