vhc iinnsns CYCLONE.

WELLINGTON, Kas., May 2S.-The
destruction to life and havoc to property
wrought by last nights cyclone is ter
rible. The storm approached the city
with rotary notion When it reach
ed here it descended upon the centre
Of the city with fearful force, then sud-
denly lifted, sucking everything in its
grasp and as suddenly dropping it.
Trees were torn from their roots,
houses turned around. stoves actually,
lifted until they Landed on the upper
floors Of the ruins. Freight cars which
stood on the track were picked up and
carried q distance Of POO feet In one
instance a horse was actually taken
from the ground and carried to the top
ola two story building. A little child
was taken out of its cradle, carried Il
distance Of two blocks and deposited
upon the ground without being injured.
The most appalling scene was that ut
the Phillips House where ball was in
progress when the cyclone burst. Tho
dancers were given little opportunity
to escape from the toppling structure.
The stairways ard halls were ;mmedi-
ately GlIsd by the crazcd men and
women who tore at each othc: il their
mad rush for the open air. AS the
timbers crushed down upon the strus
Cling crowd their hoarsc cries were
throttled by the weight Of the mass of
timbers about them. Thcn came the
silence CT death and insensioility, only
to be followed by the agonized shrieks
of the injured or dying. Some of those
who acd from the building had left
wives and swcethearts, husbands or
brothers behind. These they sought in
the pile of bricks and t;mbcrs. As last
as the bodies were taken out they were
surrounded by crowd of anxious peo-
pie who vainly tried to identify their
mangled remains. a meeting Of the
Salvation Army was in progress in a
hall. The walls of the building were
crushed and it is known that several
were killed. is probable when the
wreck has been cleared away that it
will be found that many moro persisted.
One of the members was engaged in
prayer when the cyclone struci: the
Robinson block Before any Of the
soldiers could rise from their knees the
walls of the building gave way
with crash. How any Of them es-
capped alive is marvellous The loss by
the cyclone will aggregate $500, 900.
Two hundred brick and wooden build
ings, including the courthouse and sew
eral churches, were destroyed ard hun
dreds of men are wor&ing in the ruins
in the hope of rcscuing the imprison' d
people.
The loss to property alone in this
city VIII be $5O0.0O0 rs mostly all OF the
largest stocks of grain in the city were
destroyed by the cloudburst which fol-
lowed the tornado after i. had taken
all the roofs away. Reports from all
the country to the west are very dis
couraging, and while there is no de-
tailed news from the country in the i'm
mediate vicinity, the indications are
that the damage is terrible. It is safe
to say that 80 buildings are complete
wrecks, while $50 more are partially
wrecked. All the casualties are not yet
known, but the greater proportion of
the city was completely devastated and
the entire community, consisting of be-
tween 5000 and 5000 people, were
thrown into state of CONSERVATION.
