Mr.. BRYAN Talks Sense.
From the New York World.

In an interview at Chicago on Thurs
day Mr. Bryan reiterated his belief that
the Democratic National Convention
will "reatfirm the Chicago platform. y
But he added that mo man has right
at this time to say what the Democratic
platform will be. You do not know
what the next twelve months will bring
forth" And when asked, "Will free
silver be the dominant issue in the next
campaign" he replied: "It is altogether
too early to say what will be the domi-
nant issue, but whatever the issue is
the Democratic party will meet it
suuarely,"

On the evening of the 10th, inst, al
about fifteen minuets to nine o'clock,
our hitherto tranquil and uneventful
little city was thrown into terrible
state OF excitement and horror upon the
receipt Of the appalling news of the
destruction of property and loss of life
occasioned by cyclone passing about
one half mile north of this place. One
individual, who resides on Elk Creek,
said to us that he saw two clouds, one
from the south and the other from the
north, meet, apparently, just this side
of Greeley and there form the twister
From there it took an easterly course
and arriving at the Elk Creek bottom
tore up the bridge, struck an unoccu
pied houseSstill continuing east demol
ished a mouse occupied by young
Mr.. Wiltse and wife, climbing
the hill it next took the Kennedy house,
Pursuing its devasting course, the next
house to succumb to its fury was that
of Mr.. Eigelow; the next, the house
occupied by Ed Kruemple, then that of
Jerry Schenkie, missing the house of
August Irmscher, demolishing his barn
and taking other houses in its course it
arrived at the premises of F. w. Klaus,
where it destroyed the school house
barns and sheds of Mr.. KLAUS, damag.
