William Wilson, internal injuries, will
recover; George and Frank Phillips, hurt
about the head.
1t is impossible to give an estimate OF
the damage done in the vicinity of Falls
City. Reports come in every hour which
add to the number of farmhouses and
buildings destroyed. The growing crop
was pounded into the earth and will have
to be replanted. The damage to fruit
trees is very heavy,

cyclone passed from west to east through
the southern part of this county last even
ing, destroying several houses. The resi-
dence of William Burg was demolished
and the barn of Arnold Parli and Mount
Zion Church were wrecked, together with
the United Brethren parsonage and half
dozen or more other buildings. No lives
were lost. The cyclone took out the side
of one house, exposing the furniture, but
destroying nothing else. At Mr.. Burg's the
family had escaped to the cellar with the
exception of Mr.. Burg himself, who was
caught and dropped into the cellar after
the house had vanished.
ROCK ISLAND, ILL, May 1S.-Word
reached here to-day that cyclone struck
the mining village of Sherrard, near here,
Saturday night, killing Morris Evans and
destroying the Congregational church and
several residences.
DETROIT, Mich, May 1S.-Reports
from many sections of this State show that
the windstorm which swept over the State
yesterday did much damage, especially to
fruit trees. In Shiawassee County it is es-
timated that half of the fruit crop was de-
stroyed. Shade trees suffered severely
and in some instances buildings were un-
rooted. Only one person was injured so
far as learned.

killing number of people and leaving
dozens seriously injured. 1t touched the
extreme southern portion of this place,
tearing down the canning factory, unroof-
ing both the Missouri Pacific and Burl1ng-
ton depots and turned over thirty freight
cars. in one of which was tramp, who
was seriously hurt.
Hinton's park, which was one of the
most.picturesque spots in the country, is to-
day but mass of uprooted and broken
trees. while not single building is left
standing. Hahn's brewery, which was To-
Gated across the Nemaha River from the
park, is a total wreck. William Hinton
house was torn to atoms and both Mr.. and
Mrs. Hinton were badly hurt, The house
of L. Knickerbocker, near the park en-
trance, is all ut ruined.
Hail fell as large as hens eggs, doing
great damage to property and breaking
nearly every window in the city, the
storm coming from the northwest.
The cylone seems to have followed the
river for the distance of mile and then
took a southerly course. Between this
city and the Kansas line, distance of four
miles, there were eight houses blown
down. Those known to be dead are: Mrs.
Dan Saylor, Miss Schock, an eight-year-
old boy named Holck, and Mrs. William
Brannin. Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes are among
the injured and cannot recover.
A force of two hundred citizens spent
the afternoon at the park with the unfor-
tuaate ones reviewing what was left by the
cyclones. The Nemeha River is now bank
full and will food the bottom lands.
Reserve, town of 800 people, seven
miles southeast of here, was literally wiped
off the earth. But three buildings are
standing and they were moved from their
foundations. Four people were killed and
twenty wounded, twelve severely. The
schoolhouse, one of the more fortunate
buildings, has been converted into a hos
pital and the injured are being cared for
by physicians from surrounding towns.
The dead are: Tehune, head crushed :
Mrs. Rydner; nine-year-cld daughter of
Mr.. Phillips; Ralph Sweeny.

Messrs. Boutwell, and Hastain of

saw fit to criticise Chauncsy I. Filley.
Since the Sedalia contingent rushed

to run the whole state. Nh. Filley
has been a leader in the Republican
party for many years. He has given

If he sees fit to write a letter, that is
his business. There are some Repub-

made a mistake or not. 1t is the same
old story, retold by the same old
gang, vino are always ready to steal
the fruits of a victory won by some

object to Filley is because they can

The decision of the supreme court
overriding Judge Shackleford In the
capital removal case is variouslv
viewed by the press of the state.
The matter is now with the peopl a.
and remains for them TO say at the
polls whether or not the seat of gov.
eminent shall remain at Jefferson
City or shall be removed {, Sedalia.
Both cities apparently submit with o
feeling of confidence in the result,
and each will wage an aggressive
campaign. 1t is unfortunate tina,
the question has TO be decided in O
year when there we're so many other
matters Of vital importance before
the people. If that Jefferson City

The Two Parties.

II the division on the money ques.
ton in the two parties continues, it
is pretty hard to tell where the thing
will end. We have always contended
that free TRACE and free coinage, as
advocated by many Democrats, is
one of the most dangerous doctrines
that has ever been advanced. We
have also said that the single gold
standard and free trade, advocated
by the Cleveland wing Of the Demo-
cratic party, are consistent positions
and 90 together. And w have also
insisted that the Republicans who
favor protection Of every American
industry could, with all consistency,
also protect the greatest of Ameri'
can products, silver. With a strong
protective tariff making all import;
and dues 10 the government payable
in gold and establishing free coinag,
of silver, this country could be made
to blossom as the res Unless
some consistent policy looking to the
reconciliation of silver with q policy
Of protection 10 American industrie
can be established in the Republican
party, there will remain very little
difference between it and the Demo
cratic party as doctrinized by Grove
Cleveland.

secretary of state from proceeding
to carry out the act for submitting
the question Of cspitaI removal 10

ton will now go 10 the highest court
in the land-the sovereign people of
the state-and we believe they will
promptly sit down on this attempted
act of bad faith and squelch a
scheme that, if successful, would in
the end take from 81, 900, 900 to So
600 900 of the peoples money =.
And for what purpose? To enrich

they corruptly secured the submis.
