KANSAS AGAIN VISITED.

A Portion of That State Swept Over by
Another Disastrous Storm.
CHERRYvALE, Kan, April 4.-This
section of Kansas was again visited by
terrible storm. This timo it was a
genuine cyclone. A funnel-shaped cloud
in the afternoon was seen approaching
the town FROM the southwest. 1t was
accompanied by deep, roaring sound,
and as it drew near it could be seen
turning and twisting about with ter.
rible velocity. It Travelled with in
credible speed and bsrely missed the
town, passing one mile to the south
west. 1t demolished six houses in that
vicinity, killing two people and fatally
injuring another. The house of
John Reeves, farmer. was torn
to pieces by the cyclone. Mrs. Reeves
was killed outright and Mr.. Reeves was
fatally injured. Mrs. Perry Nixon, the
wife of smother farmer in the vicinity,
was also fatally injured in the de1noli-
tion Of her house. Mrs. e. R. Lawson
of this city was struck by lightning
during the storm aud was instantly
killed. The damage to barns, out
houses, fences, ETC., is very great. Re.
ports from various places in the vicin-
ity of Cherryville report that a severe
storm ragged there but no further fatali-
ties are reported. Much damage to
crops and farm property is reported.

but Beatrice, Elk Creek, Beaver City
and Nebraska City also suffered heavily.
AS in Kansas, little has been heard from
the farming districts, where the storm
ragged all day and all night over the
plains with unobstructed fury. Loss Of
life is sure to have resulted.
Misnouri Got or Lightly.
Missouri seems to have been lightly
visited, except on the western edge.
Kansas City was roughly shaken up,
and unroofed houses, uprooted trees
and tangled telegraph wires bear testi-
mony to the strength of the gale. Sc
dalla, too, suffered rather heavily, but
the rest of the state escaped practically
unscathcd.
In Minnesota and Wi.consin.
Minnesota and Wisconsin felt only the
dying breath of the giant gale, and al
though the cities of Beloit and Green
Bay IN the latter state sustained con-
siderable damage there were no casual
ties and the gross loss will not be heavy.
In Illinois the rain, wind and hail
We're heavy, hut only i'll Chicago and its
suburbs, 50 far rs heard, was there any
loss of life. The fall of q huge seven.
story buricll building in Pearcc street,
which crushed all adjoining cottage, is
responsible for the death of eight persons
and the injury of dozen others.
In the suburbs of Grand Crossing four
persons were injured by the collapse Of
house, and at Woodlawn, four Others
We're hurt in a similar manner. East
of this city the storm seems to have lost
its force, and although heavy rains and
accompanying high winds are reported
from Indiana and points along the lakes
there was no loss of life and little dam.

FUSION In MINNESOTA.
CoNGRESSMEN HALL, CASTLE AND
HARRlES FAVOR A COMBINATION.

Democrats and Alliance to Join Hands
aud Elsc. Owen Governor Another
Assertion That Eluine will Not Refuse
u Nomination.
WASHINGTON. April 5.-The three
Democratic representatives from Miu-
nesota We're found in the house rcstaur-
ant in a.group and We're asked what
they had~t say in reference to the re-
port telegraphed from st. Paui that
fusion had practically been agreed upon
between the Democratic managers and
the Alliance managers in Minnesota
Representative Hall said he thought the
story WAS somewhat fshy, but added
that he thought that fusion might DO
made, though he was positive that no
agreement had yet been reached. He
sail if Owen should be indorsed by the
Democrats after being nominated by
the Farmers Alliance, he would be
elected. Representative Castle said:
"If the Democratic party indorscs Owen
him. He would make n good governor.
If the Democratic party sees fit to make u
combination that is fair with the Alliance
people. all the Democrats will fall into
line and surl ort it."
Representative Harries said:
81 am in forit. think it is very good
th!ns and lc only safe WAY and only sue
cc''ful WAY Of preventing the election Of
Tie iiepubl,.;.n electoral ticket"
ALtvr t"..e eXir, ssions the three
Democrats discussed the subject gener-
ally, and il was Mr.. Castle who stated
that in the event of the Democrats get
ting contrcl of the legislature he did
nut think that Mr.. Doran would accept
The senatorsiip if it was offered to him
on silver platter. All three gentle
men agreed that Mr.. Owen would make
an admirable governor and that he
would make u 81. ns run.

THE DEATH LIST.
Numbor OF Killed in the nan.as Cyclone
Over Eir,,

Number OF Killed in the Iianxas CyclOne
Over FIFTY.
KANSAS City, No., April 3.-With
the going down of the wind the tele-
graph is again brought into selvice and
the storm stricken district of Kansas
heard from. The wire service is still
very slow. but there is enough coming
i'll to show that the terrible work was
far reaching and very destructive A
careful estimate regarding tho number
of killed aud wounded throughout the
state, the result of the win,t's havoc
makes it nearly one hundred killed and
between two and three hundred injured.
The following is the estimate placed on
tho dead and wounded as near as can
be ascertained ut this time:
Towanda
Rosehil-~iwo.
Wanego--E Eight.
Strong City-Nine
formative.
Smolan---Ouc.
Nint Cr.eh-One,
South lIayen-Nino.
Louisville One
AuguSta--Three.
These towns are the only ones from
which anything like definite report
has been obtained, and the possibility is
that when the western towns and vii
lagos are heard from the dead list will
be swelled to nearly one hundred.
