INDEPENDENCE, Kan, April 12.-
Southeastern Kansas, and particularly
Montgomery county, was visited by a
terrible cyclone last evening at 7
o'clock, which left path of death and
destruction behind it.
This city was only on the extreme
edge of the storm and suffered little
damage, but reports from the sur
rounding country and small towns
near here show great destruction of
property and loss of life.
The little town of Parker, ten miles
south of here, seems to have got the
worst of the storm. Coming from a
southwesterly direction from Okla
homa, the furious wind, which was
more like a hurricane than a genuine
cyclone, struck the town with irresist-
ible force. The frightened people
were given not moment to flee to
places of safety.
The work of the wind was awful.
OF the business houses situated around
the public square but two were left
standing, the others being completely
wrecked. Even brick houses were
swept away the same as the light
frames. Every residence in the town
was damaged more or less and half of
them were completely destroyed.
1t is known that several persons

ST. LOUIS, No., April 12.-Following
upon the storm here early in the
evening another violent storm came
up about IL o'clock with a terrific
wind. The steamer D. II. Pyke, lying
at its wharf at the foot of Locust street
with no steam up and five men on
board, was blown adrift and as no
trace can be had of it, it is feared it is
sunk with all on board. The harbor
boat City of st. Louis with a small crew
aboard was also blown from the same
wharf and has not been heard from
at 1:45 a. m. Two wharf boats an

being an entire absence Of commercial
motive. Time CT money have not
been spared TO make this a splendid
showing Of the educational interest
of the world and willing specialists
have lent their best efforts to con
tribute TO its completeness.
The space devoted 10 the liberal arts
department, compared with other ex-
positions. is in itself tribute to ad-
vancing ideas of culture and reform.
For DR.. Peabody's uses have been set /
apart 175,0o0 feet Of space. This in

the special educational exhibit by the
