against him by Mrs Laird, wife of the
unfortunate Methodist minister. Elder
Phillips is now chaplain at the Joliet
penitentiary, but may, in light of the
recent charges brought against him by

NELSON Neb., April 8. TO the
People. On Thursday, March 81, a
cyclone visited the city OF Nelson,
Neb., the county seat OF Nuckolls
county. The resident part OF the city
in the north and west was where the
work OF destruction was most COM
plete. The homes OF all in that Sec
tion were entirely swept away, with
all their houses contained. Numerous
citizens in the surrounding country
shared the same fate. The more for
tunate people in the city and country
have all contributed literally, but their
best efforts will prove inadequate to
meet the wants of these distressed
people.
The loss entailed upon our people
has been estimated at $l50, 900. The
condition OF those who have lost their
all is deplorable and forces us to call
upon the country at large for aid, and
in this hour OF deep distress we know
we will not cali in vain.
Alta meeting of the citizens OF city

April 2, the following named commit
tee was authorized to solicit aid: w.
