fully discussed. 1t has been decided. how

KANSAS Cry, May PA Times special
from Wellington says the cyclone was terri-
bly, destructive. At II o'clock fifteen per-
sons were known to have been killed and
investigation of the wrecked buildings has

not do much damage until it reached the
center of the town. On jefferson avenue
it destroyed the Lutheran church. Furious
work was done within compass Of four
squares bounded by Jefferson avenue. Ave-
nue. G and Seventh and Ninth streets.
Every building in those blocks was
demolished and wrecked. Fortunately ths
residences in that locality are not numerous,
otherwise the loss Of life wonld have been
much greater. The Phillips hotel was
demolished and seven dead bodies taken
from the ruins. Tho work of rescue there
has only begun. The house was well filled
with guests and the loss of life is thought
to be great. Destruction in the northeast
part of the city was great, but definite de-
tails cannot now be had. Great confusion
prevails everywhere.
Grand Army hall has been converted into
a hospital and there are now there fifty
killed and injured. The latest estimates
are that thirty are dead and perhaps . 100
