Two Hundred Homeless at Frankfort
FRANKFORT, Kan, May lS.-The
most destructive tornado that ever
visited this section Of the State struck
this city at about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The storm came from the
southwest and was preceded by
heavy fall of rain and hail. The fun
mel shaped cloud came from the OPP
posite direction from the prevailing
wind, and travelled slowly, which gave
the people ample time to go into cell
lars and caves, which most of them
did.
Several farm houses were destroyed
before the storm reached the city, but
so far as learned no one was killed.
Following is the list Of injured: P.
Cudermore, hurt about the head; Mrs.
Moran; Henry Kennedy, nose broken
and otherwise badly bruised. Mrs.
Arthur, colored, and two children;
Jack Rodgers, living in the country;
Captain ]. B. Todd, flesh wounds
Nearly 200 persons are homeless in
this city. About hundred buildings
in town and country are down.
Horses, cattle and hogs are dead on
every farm in the path of the storm.
The business portion of the town was
not struck by the wind and is all right.
The loss will foot up to probably from
SOS, 600 to $50, 900.

WASHINGTON, May ls.-The A P. A.
supreme council adopted the follow
ing report regarding Republican
candidates:
There is no reason why any one Of
the following named candidates for
the Republican nomination for Presi-

members Of the order; William B.
Allison of Iowa, Thomas B. Reed of
Maine, Matthew Quay of Pennsyl-
vania, Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois,
Governor Bradley of Kentucky, Ben
jamin Harrison of Indiana, Levi P.
Morton of New York, William Nc
Kinley of Ohio. Regarding the mat
ter heretofore appearing in the public
press relative to Governor Mckinley,
we find that it was sustained
by the evidence in the posses
sion of the executive committee
of this board at the time of pub
LEGATION, but in subsequent statements
received by this board from the spe-
cial committee sent by authority of
this board to interview Governor Nc
Kinley he denies and explains the
greater part of the matter contained
in said evidence and which statements
are accepted by this board. Said COM
mittee also reported that in said inter
view with Governor Mckinley he
fully and unequivocally Endorsed the
principles of the order.
