Special DISPATCH to the Daily Eagle.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, April 2-Your
correspondent hears mapy regrets ex-
pressed among leading Republicans at the
withdrawal of the editor of the EAGLE
from the gubernatorial contest. as the
prospective nominee of the party. 1t was
conceded generally that Mr.. Murdoch was
far in the lead, and this portion OF the
state would have gladly seen him get the
nomination, as a we'll earned tribute to his
lifelong fealty TO the principles CT his
party through good and evil report. q"
Whenever in the future this city can help
him to anything he wants politically,
we're wild him"
Politics is usually ignored in our spring
elections for city officers, but this year the
Republicans will put ticket in the field
in every ward, which will be opposed by a
Citizens ticket in which all the nom
iuees will be Democrats. The present city
government is the weakest we have ever
had, and while there is no corruption
charged, the mental capacity of the ma
jorlty of the men who are holding Office IS
such that il is difficult to induce the bet
ter element among the business and pro
fessionaI people TO accept nominations CT
promise 20 qualify if elected. A petition
has been circulated requesting the mayor
to resign IL might well be supplemented
by another petitioaing the council to fol
low suit.

so great that. efforts will have to be made

hearted and generous people of Wichita to
help in this sad visitation.

THE STORM AT kJOWA.

KIowA, Kan, April Especial. Last
night the wind, which had been coming
from the west through the day, changed to
the southeast. aud by O'Clock in the even
ing was regular gale, accompanied by
rain and hail. Soon after S o'clock it
changed to the southwest with the force of
a hurricane. Buildings of every descrip-
tion were taken. on the wings of the wind
and scattered over the town. This morn
ing the city presents a sorry sight. Among
the buildings demolished are the Missouri
Pacific railroad depot and round house
and the Christian church building. The
residences of Dr. Cloud, Mrs. Beal, NJ. J.
Lane, NJ. L. Mcclure. l.. A. Gleason and
Major Lamont are total wrecks. The
Congregational church people, who have
been holding services in the Christian
church building, will now be compelled TO
erect a new building which they have
been contemplating for some time. There
was quite stampede among the sojourn-
ers and campers here awaiting the open
ing of the Cherokee strip, aud those on
their way to the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country. No lives were lost. The Episco-
pal church vestry have rendered the use Of
their place of worship to the Congrega-
tionalists to hold services temporarily.

IN NORTHEASTERN KANSAS

WAMEGO, Kan, April 2-Seven people
killed is the dreadful record of Thursday
nights cyclone in this vicinity. The dead
are Mrs Albert Eggers and Two children,
aged and years respectively; Joseph
Johnson, a laborer on the Eggers farm;
Charles Taylor, and Mrs. Charles Taylor
and her 9-year-old child. The house Of
Albert Taylor was completely demolished
and scattered broadcast over his farm.
Mrs. Eggers was found clasping in her
arms the dead body of her younger child.
The body of the elder child was found
some distance from those OF its mother
and brother. The faces of all had the ap-
pearance Of being powder-burned, the dust
and dirt having been forced below the skin
by the force of the wind. Albert Eggers
was found about midnight wandering
about his farm. He was in dazed con-
ditloD and has sustained fracture of the
right arm and other bad bruises HIS
injuries may result fatally. His mind
now appears TO be completely lost, the re-
suit of learning the dreadful fate of his
wife and children. The house of John
Taylor was moved some distance from its
foundation, and was then dashed to the
ground with terrible force, wrecking it
completely. Taylor's body was found
among the debris crushed and mangled
beyond recognition. His 9-year-old child
met death in the ruins, its body being
found near that of its father. Mrs. Taylor
WAS rescued from the ruins in an un-
conscious condition. She cannot recover.
The house of j. T. Gems, occupied by
John Fulimer, was twisted oIt of shape
and almost completely wrecked Full
mers wife and mother were terribly in
Jured. They will probably recover. Other
houses in the vicinity We're badly damaged
