great loss OF life and property. The

Nineteen lives We're lost and the de-
struction Of property was heavy. It

panying the tornado was a rainstorm

The residence portion of the town also
suffered heavy loss, several buildings
being completely demolished and a
large number damaged. A perfect de-
LUCE of rain was falling when the cy-
clone came, but its advance was fore
told by a roaring, rushing sound, fol-
lowed by quick, heavy reports which
gave the inhabitants warning and they
rushed out from the falling buildings.
Bodies Carried Far on Wind.
Reports from Lula, Tunica county,
state that three negroes were killed.
, their bodies having been carried dis
lance of three miles by the wind.
Many outhouses were RACED to the
ground and the damage to crops can
not now be estimated.
Thirteen persons are reported killed
between Love station and Coldwater.
At Coldwater several houses were
destroyed and the daughter Of John
Guy and John Doncey were seriously
injured. A negro child was killed
three miles north Of the town. The
cyclone passed from southwest to

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Arthur Mitchell is writing series
of letters for the Hoisington Dispatch
on his experiences and observations
in the Philippine islands. In No. 4,
last week, occurs the following which
We want our readers to think over.
Of the Philippine railroad he says:
"After the Americans had rebuil:
the track and pulled out of the ditch
all the engines, and got the road all
under guard. the British owners of
the road did our boys the kindness to
relieve them from their honored
positions as train meh and put in
their places the native force who used
to handle the trains prior to the re.
bellion, because they could get them
for one-fourth the price that an
American would work for. This is
a sample of how cheap old Britain
is."
just think over this statement of
facts from one who was on the
grounds and knows whereof he writes.
Fine business we are in over there.
Our soldiers take hold of the English.
mans railroad, and FIX it up, put it
in running order, and then the grate-
tul Englishmen fire the American
train men and put on the cheap
natives, who work for one.fourth
what the Americans would work for.
And yet the republicans want to
make those cheap natives citizens of
the United States; so that they can
get more cheap labor we presume for
the poor, down-trodden trusts and
corporations. Vote for Bryan and
the Philippines will be given indie.
pendence and freedom from English
domination. And the cheap, Asiatic
labor will be kept out of the United
States. Vote for Nc Kinley and you
open the doors of our own country to
that same cheap labor.

A WORD TO FUsIONIsTs.

1t is related of Napoleon's
Troops, on their return from
the field of Ansterlitz, that when
they met other French Troops
they asked: s'BrOthers, were
you in the great battle yester-
day? "If the answer was "no"
the tattered heroes of that glori-
GUS day said: "then go and hang
yourselves" And it is further
related that brave men did hang
themselves because they had
not been fortunate enough to
have shared in the glory of
Austerlitz.
FUSIONISTS, FAIL NOT to
be in the GREAT BATTLE OF
next Tuesday. Don't make it.pos-
sible that you can feel like hang
ing yourself next Wednesday 70 I
not having participated in the
GREATEST POLITICAL BAT
TIE of the Century. Be pre-
pared to answer your comrades
that you were in the "Great
Battle of Yesterday"
Be in the fight early. Vote
during the forenoon. With
every Fusionist in line defeat in
Kansas is impossible. If tht
State should go against Bryan
every man who remains away
from the Polls will be responsible
for it.
Follow the Brave Leader
whose heart is with you, onc'
more. Do not be guilty of in
gratitude towards the hero o
the Peoples cause with a glo
rious victory within reach.

He did not seek the nomination,
is not desirous for an election

but on the contrary, feels that,
should he be elected it would
mean a lot of hard work on his
part to secure legislation for the

en-, in former years, when he as
sisted in making some of the
best laws we have on the statute
books, that he is a worker in the

pledging himself to deal fairly

minister the affairs of the county

duties as county attorney-with
Justice and equity to all alike.

NOT "turn OUT they should be out O.

out to hear the speakers. and the
speakers did not turnout to talk to
the farmers. Big bills had been
scattered broadcast, advertising "big
guns" as speakers-Maj. VIM. War
ner and Candidate Nelson-for the
afternoon. But there were not to
exceed 90 farmers who came to town
to hear those big guns in the after
noon-and % of those farmers were
democrats and populists. Then they
got out bills announcing an evening
meeting with the above two speakers
and the addition of third spell
