A Thriving Town Wiped Out BY the Da-

ABERDEEN, Oak, April 5.-The terrific
story of the complete destruction of Leola,
the county seat Of Mcpherson County, has
been brought in by courier. Leola was a
fine little town of 5000 inhabitants, and
the country for niles around was well
settled with industrious and thrifty peo-
pie. 1t is twenty five miles from railroad
and telegraph facilities, and it is difficult
to get complete information. Out OF
thirty places of business. including two
banks, two newspapers, two churches,
three or four hotels and all lines OF bus
mess, butfour are left standing. and out OF
from thirty to forty residences less than a
dozen remain. The loss is practically
complete and will reach $50, ,O00. The
insurance was very light G. o. Old and
Thomas Ardell are terribly burned and
the couriers say they can not live. Parties
who drove across the country to Westport
the nearest railroad station, say that the
surrounding country is nearly devastated
Hundreds Of farm houses are in ashe, 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 not one-tenth

city. They will publish their paper in Abb

measures for relief. Scores OF farmers
are without seed wheat, stock, buildings
or implements to commence spring work.

will bear repeating. OF David Christie
Murray he said: Murray Is one of the
interesting men in London. He has had
the hardest OF work to attain his present
position. From boyhood he has made his
way uneidsd and like many other writer's
of fiction he came up from newspaper
work and his early journalistic training
has been of inestimable value to him.
After working for a long time on the
Birmingham News he resolved to
see London and arrived in the city
with bat little to keep body and
soul together. While casting about for
some road to fortune he wrote an article
on "Impecunious London" which was
printed in one of the weeklies and served
to open q new field Of work TO him. The
paper, it need hardly be said, was founded
upon bis own experience, and its success
encouraged him later to set out on an ex-
tended tour of an amateur tramp. To put
it out of his power to enjoy creature COM
forts he mailed bank note to the care OF
a post-office nearly 100 miles away and
started to walk to it He had not q penny
to buy a lodging or food, and Travelled in
