Shelton made an effort to repeat

Off the seat. Jack caught him by
the coat with one hand, stopped the
horses and let Shelton down to the

him he found that Shelton was dead.
A blood vessel In his heart had been

finished, DR.. Pepper said to him:
"Mr. Secretary, you are perfectly
sound man; there is not symptom
Of organic disease about you. The
only possible defect that can dis
cover lies in your muscular system.
Your nervous system is a little
strained, but that can be remeded
very speedily. You want to look

APPALLING CALAMITY.
The City of Wellington, Kan,
Destroyed.
BY A CYCLONE.
A Horse Deposited on Top Of a
Two.story Building.

] WO70poAJ summing
WELLINGTON, Kan, May 2S.-
The dest uction to life and property
by last nights cyclone is terrible.
In the darkness and confusion OF
last night 1t was not possible to
realize the enormity of the calam-
nifty. The light of day invests the
scene of destruction with a distinct,
awful realization of It's scope. The
loss of life is appalling, and the de
struction of property great.
The storm was rotary, coming
from the southwest, and descended
on the city with terrible force, and
suddenly rose, sucking everything
and as suddenly dropping it. Trees
are torn from their roots, houses
are spun around, freight cars lifted
and carried 200 feet, stoves lifted up
to second stories. In one instance q
horse was taken up and deposited
IN a two-story building. A little
child was taken out of its Grad e,
carried two blocks and deposited On
the ground uninjured.
The loss of property in this ci y
alone will amount to half a million
dollars, nearly all the large stocks
Of goods in the city are destroyed
by the cloud burst which followed
the cyclone. Reports from all the
country west are very discourageing,
while no definite indications, the
is terrible. 1t is safe to
say $50 buildings are wrecked, and
as many more partially demolished
All the casualties are not yet known,
but following is as accurate as can
be made: Mrs. Sasher, bride, tie
young husband is ravlng; Miss
Strand, Mrs. Sasher sister; Henry
Adamson; James Weaver; Ida
Jones. The fatally wounded are
Cbas Adamson, Mrs Capt. Mahan;
Mrs, j. Il. Hanna; Mrs. Murphy;
Charles Stoner; Sante Fe conduc-
tor Little; Maggie King; Ed For
sythe; Walter Forsythe; Silva For
sythe; Ex-sheriff Thall's children;

Miller the Republican candidate for
Encouragement, leg and arm broken;
Lieut. William French and Cadet |

Hodges; Guy Colby; Dick Weaver;
Carry Mitchell and E. j. Forsythe.
The missing are Prof. Mayer, and

ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Question of Dissolution Con-
sidered.


LONDON, May pa cabinet
council WIS convened yesterday fol
the purpose ofdetermining the date
of the dissolution of parliament The
bulk of the conservative election
agents are of the opinion that II is
urgently necessary to dissolve par
lament within one month, as was
the case with the unionist members.
Prior to the council a number Of
members had an interview with
BalfOur, and impressed upon him
the necessity of settling the ques-
tion without delay. The almost
Unanimous representation made
advised that dissolution either take
place at the end of June, or be
postponed until the spring of 1913.
The tenor of the communications
made after the council adjourned
Indicates that it is the decision OF
the government to proceed with the
Irish local government bill and
abandonment of the intention to
resort to dissolution. Balfour prom
ises definite declaration the even
ing of Whitsuntide adjournment
The decision will enrage the opposi-
tion, who, without delay, will resort
to every device for obstructiDg the
government business, but the major
ity of unionists will approve it,
though it will embarrass many. If
conservatives anticipations taken
from that council be fulfilled, no
Gladstone government is possible
till the end of the spring of 1913, and
no home rule till '94.
