Stand by tho Party.

There has never been any room
in this country for more than two
great parties, and the Democratic
party has outlived and outlasted
every other organization that has
been formed against it. During
the past thirty-fivo years it has
lived on through defeat.
We advise all men of all parties
who believe in the principles of
genuine democracy, in the rights
of the State, in the liberties of the
people and in the free and unlimit-
cd coinage of both gold and silver,
TO join with the Democrats who
believe in these things and III this
way relieve the people from the
blight of Republican legislation.
The call of the national com.
mittee is broad enough to apply
to every voter in the land who be-
lieves in genuine Democrrtic prin-
ciples. 1t is, indeed, an invitation
to every man who believes in the
tenets of Democracy to unite with
the Democratic party in all the
preliminaries of the approaching
campaign, to participate in the
primaries and in the selection of
convention delegates and to active
ly engage in the work of making
the Democratic party invincible
before the country.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE.
The Twistcr Tore Through the Country
and Left Nothing Standing,
SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED
Receives the Full Force of the
Tornado Cut SH y99!.!
Nifteeg MiIcs LONG

TOPEKA, April 27.-Fivc persons at
least wcrc killed outrght three fatally
and II more or less injured and great
destruction of property was wrought
by n cyclone which passed over Clay
county.
Passengers on the Rock Island train
from tho north brought partial details
of the cyclone. 1t started about six
miles south of Clifton and went i'll II
northcasterly direction for IL or 10
miles, then lost its force by spreading.
1t passed about half way between Cliff
ton and Moranville.
It's track varied from $50 yards to n
quarter of mile i'll width. 1t tore
through Il farming community and left
nothing standing. Houses and barns
were wrecked, trees torn up or broken,
fences lcvclcd and hay stacks blown i'll
evcfy direction. The cyclone was fol-
lowed by terrific rainstorm, which
lasted several hours, flooding the devas-
tntcd district. The victims were III
their houses and most of them had re-
tired.
Tho storm struck Peter Andcrson's
house at 30 O'Clock This was about
Il mile from the starting point.
Tho house was demolished i'll am in
slant. Every member of the Anderson
cNtricatcd themselves from the debris
they discovered that Andcrson's grand
child was missing Tho dead body of
tho child was found i'll II ravine half n
mile away.
Couricrs were sent to Clifton and
Moranvillc for doctors, but it was day
light before they arrived and the extent
of the injury was not known. At noon
it was thought all the victims had been
found.
a large number of cattle and horses
We're killed and fruit i'll the storms
track was ruined. 1t is impossible at
this time to- estimate tho damage to
buildings and other property.
Many of the injured lay all night
pinned down by wreCknge, while others
crawlcd or hObbled across the country
to n neighbours house. In several in
stances people We're lifted into the air
by the cyclone and carried for n dis.
lance.
a special from Clay Center places the
number of killed at eight. There are
rumors of other deaths south and west
of Clifton, and it is feared that when
communication with the stricken town
is established that the loss of life will
be shown to have been great. The wires
to many points are down and but mea-
ger details are obtainable. The pecuni.
AIRY loss west of Clifton at one point is
ESTIMATED Mt $4,000, indicating that
the total loss will be high.

Hon. Rnnkin MiIcY.

The candidacy of our popular
follow townsman, for Congress in
this District, is now fully launched f;
and from the tone of the press il
looks rs if there would be but lit
tie opposition to his nomination.
Mr.. Wiley is splendid and 10y
al Democrat; is an out and out free
silver man; is right upon all the
great questions that effect the peo-
pie particularly the farming class;
is az educated gentleman; ready
and forcible speaker; and popular
with the masses. We believe, that
should he receive the nomination,
he will redeem this district, by
receiving an old time Democratic
majority.

ing on the track, and hurled her
some distance down large fill
The train was Immediately stopped
and the unfortunate woman picked
up and taken to her home, about a
mile below where the accident oc-
Cured. An examination showed
that her left leg between the knee
and ankle, was badly broken and
mashed, which will probably rem

sary,
The injured woman had been
out gathering green's and was on
her return home during binding

for the engineer to see her until
