In the three colleges mentioned there 10
quite q little choice of material. YET the

DEATH BY THE CYCLONE.
A Tornado sweeps Through tae Town OF
Wellington. Kas.

Tornado sweeps Through tae Town OF
Wellington. Kas.
WELLINGTON, Kas., May 27.-Thls city
has had visitation tonight from the
funnel-shaped cloud which plowed It's
devastating track through part OF the
town with immense destruction
to property and some loss OF life, just
how much it is impossible to tell, al
though fifteen are known to be dead. A
heavy storm of wind and rain preceded
the cyclone about half an hour. A few
minutes after o'clock the cyclone
struck the city, coming from the south
west. Washington Avenue, the prlncl-
pal business street, is lined on both
sides with blocks of ruins. To add to
the horror, fire broke out among the
debris of Col. Robinson's block, and
woman, Mrs. Susan Asher, is sup
flames. A solid block of brick
buildings. containing a half doz-
en- stores and the Voice
printing offices, lies tumbled heap OF
bricks and mortar. Just across the
street a laborer named Tanning was
taken out OF the ruins dead, and there
are supposed to be other bodies in the
ruins. Hundreds of dwellings are to-
tally destroyed. The city is in dark
ness, as broken mains made it necessa-
nv to shut down the gas works and
save destruction from fire. James
Lawrence had an arm broken,
Walter Forsythe was taken from
the ruins wounded, and his brother
Edward was also injured. They have
since died. Seven bodies sshave been
taken out Of the Phillips house and a
large force of men are hard at work re-
moving the debris. Two members of
the Salvation Army are expected to die
from injuries received. At Squire
Smiths residence seven persons are
more or less injured. The streets are
Uttered with tin roofing, awnings.
broken glass and timber. Everybody
is on the streets carrying lanterns and
it is utterly impossible to get at the ex-
act facts. The Standard and Mail offices
are wrecked. The opera house and
best business buildings are useless.
Fine store buildings and churches are
ruined, and the loss will foot up into
many thousands of dollars. No reports
have been received from other points.
Wellington is the county seat of Sumner
County and has population of 10000
inhabitants 1t is in the center of a
thicklv settled district. 1t is the most
prominent town in Southern Kansas.

JACKSON WINS.
Slavin Badly Punished in His Contest
with the Colored Man.
much:

Shawn kSaulY 1un1Shod Ia LIS SoASCSh
with the Colored Man.
LONDON, May 3O.-At the close of the
Jackson-Slavin fight Slavin. as he lay
helpless and disfgured on the floor Of
the stage, appeared to be almost dead.
He presented a woeful appearance
and showed very plainly the
effects of the terrible punish
ment that had been administered
to him by his antagonist. He lay mo-
tionless on the hard boards with his
eyes tightly closed, his face badly swol-
len and discolored, and bis body COW
cred with the blood which flowed in
streams from the wounds caused by the
sledgehammer blows dealt by jackson.
The latter, too, had lost some blood and
showed marks Of the terrible encoun-
ter in which he had been engaged, but
he was in a comparatively fresh condl-
ton when the fight was over. 1t is not
very much to say that no other match
ever excited an equal amount Of inter-
est, although there was little actual
money wagered until the height of the
contest. The Hobbies were crowded
long before the time set for the fight to
begin. Sportsmen of every grade were
present, mostly in evening dress.
There were present dukes and earls and
marquises and baronets, and mortified
aristocrats in profusion, Col. North,
Buffalo Bill" and the artist, NJ. Harry
Furniss, we're noticed among the crowd.
Out of regard for the aristocratic patrons
a fiat has gone forth that no names
should be mentioned.

CHICAGO BACK FROM CHILL.
The Flagship Returns from Its Mission
to South America.

New YORK, May 26.-The white hulled
flagship Chicago, of the fleet which
sailed for South American waters six
mouths ago, to be on nand in case Of
war with Chilli, arrived Yesterday from
Monteyideo and anchored in the North
River. She lay off Montevideo about
four months with nothing for the crew
of 400 to do but to tell yarns.
Rear Admiral J. W. Walker, who
was in command, said yes
terday that every body he met in South
America sympathized with the United
States III her quarrel with Chill. The
Chicago brought back all her men. The
only stops on the return trip were at
Encalada, Barbados and st. Thomas.
The voyage took twenty-seven days.
The Chicago's bottom is very foul. The
ship will have to be docked and cleaned.
The term of service of about forty of
the men has expired and that of a good
many more will expire in a few DAYS.

SEVENTY PER CENT. SILVER.
Another Remarkable Discovery In the
Mollie Gibson Mine at Aspen.

Mollie Gibson Mine at Aspen.
ASPEN, Col, May 30.-The Mollie
Gibson mine has just made another
bonanza strike. 1t WAS made in the
lowest southeast level, and consists of
an eight-inch streak of stephinite ore
carrying 70 per cent. silver. One
gentleman stated to @ reporter that at
one point at the lower workings he
could stand still and circle within arms
length 100000. The stock jumped
from 10 to l120 in twenty-four hours.
Two years ago Mollie Gibson stock was
a drug on the market at 25c. share. j.
J. Hagerman, ex-president of the Colo
RADIO Midland Railway, owns a control
ling interest in the Mollie. This Sc, 0O0,-
600 interest cost HIM about 100000.
The ore is so valuable that it is shipped
to Denver by express in carload lots.
Each carload so shipped averages in
value over 100000 per ton. During the
knight Templar Conclave in Denver a
carload of Mollie Gibson ore worth
$3.50. 900 will be on exhibition.

MANY PERSONS HURT.

Serious Railroad Accident Few Miles
from Chicago.
CHICAGO, H., May 30.-The Red Tx
press, from St. Louis to Chicago, on the
Santa Fe road, was wrecked early this
morning at point a mile and half
south of Lemont, small quarry town
about twenty miles from Chicago, last
night, and resulted in the instant kill
ing of the engineer, w. A. Isabel, the
serious injury of nine passengers and
the slight injury of five more. The
names of the seriously injured are:
j.. ALLEN, of Chicago, injured in one
Mrs. MARIA A. BIssELL, Chicago, back
injured.
J. |. EGGMAN, Chicago, slightly injured.
CHARLES TANNING, Chicago, scalp
wounds.
MRS. BELLE FR1ELEY, Chicago, injuries
to spine and head. i,
MISS HULDA FRIEKE, Chicago, spinal
injuries.
MAGGIE FITZPATRICK, Chicago, hurt
about hips and legs.
Mrs. r. NJ. Qu1GLEY, st. Louis, Mo-,
CHARLES N. WEIGH, Chicago, knes
Injured.
CHRIS SLossoN. Streator, ILL.,, fireman,
leg and arm crushed.
Of these, Mrs. Bissell was the most
seriously injured and is likely to die.
The injured were conveyed to this city
Nv special train, arriving at O'Clock
this morning. Mrs. Bissell and Mrs.
Fitzpatrick were taken to the Mercy
Hospital. The others were removed to
their homes by number of ambu-
lances. Mrs. Quigley, of st. Lonls, was
left at the American House, Lemont.
1t is stated by the passengers that at
the time of accident the train was run
ming at high rate of speed to make up
toned the engine struck cow and
calf, which were on the track. The en-
CINE and tank jumped the track, and
after running a short distance on the
ties. rolled down the embankment
into the Desplains River. The bag
gage car was landed on its side,
the smoker followed, breaking the
coupling with the sleeper. The latter
jumped with fearful rapidity into the
river, with the engine and tender.
The panic which ensued made more
difficult the task of att ending to the
wounded and rescuing the occupants OF
the sleeper from their perilous posi-
ton. Fortunately the depth of the
water was not sufficient to completely
submerge it, and with such as
sistance as the trainmen could secure,
the passengers were taken out through
the windows. The Santa Fa officials
claim, however, that the train was not
running at an excessively high rate OF
speed, and that the indirect cause of
the mishap was a sharp curve, which
rendered it impossible to see the OBJ
struction till too late to bring the train
to stand.
1.-THE accident was altogether unayoid-
able" said supt. Ives to-day, land not
an iota of blame can possibly attach to
anybody. A COW and calf got caught in
cattle guard just at a curve.
1t was impossible to stop the
train and it was derailed. The engi-
neer stayed at his post and died brave
lv. We deplore the accident, and have
done everything in our power for all
the injured. The money loss is hard to
estimate, but it does not amount to
much -

BIG HAUL BY LONDON THIEVES.
Three Thousand Ounces of Silver Stolen
from Silversmith.

LONDON, May IA daring burglary
has been committed in this city. The
thieves, by means of ropes, scaled
sixty-foot wall that encloses the rear of
the building occupied by Mappin Bros,
manufacturers of silverware, electro.
plate, ETC., and forcing their way into
the building, plundered the firm of
5000 ounces of silver. Their booty
would probably have been larger had
they not been disturbed at their work.
They made off with the silver, leaving
their tools behind them.
