At Martin Neidig's, A miles north
of Ellinwood, the family watched the
Hammeke barn sail around in the air
AID go to pieces. They saw horses
and machinery sail about like straw
n the wind.
The cyclone which struck the Hell
fric place was headed straight for the
St.Petor and Paul church, but veered
when within 80 rods and passed to the
north. The old church bell, which
in the early days had been blessed by
the Bishop. was rung as the storm
approached
Picked chickens were a csmmon
sight in the paths of the cyclones.
From all reports we gather that
there were six distinct cyclones to be
seen at one time, and moving In diff
ferent directions. The prevailing
course, however, was from southeast
TO north. west
A piece of window sash was carried
from Welch's over a mile northwest
aud one pane of glass in it was not
broken.
Rolls of bsrbed wire, stripped from
the fences, and wadded up with all
sorts of broken machinery, boards,
clothing. chickens, furniture and 80
on, can be seen ip the paths of the
destroyers.
That electricity forms a great part
of the resistless force is proven by the
fact that all kinds of metal seem to be
broken and twisted more than wood
Or other material.
The man who saw a dozea-or less
cyclones all at one time will be
given the benefit Of the doubt.

Duval shall pull off. II Will Stoke is

Great Bend Register.
''FRoM the heart the mouth
speaketh. The editor of the
Register, like all other republi-
cans for party only, does not
desire to see Claud Duval have a
clear field against Long, and
therefore would try to have the
public to believe that Duval
would be the weaker man in a
showdown between him and
Campbell. The DEMOCRAT would
be perfectly willing to leave the
matter to a vote of the peo-
pie of the district, and our Judge
ment, as to the outcome, would
be justified by the people.

again that Mr.. Bryan is losing

Took Himse If to Pieces.

General Nichols, of New Orleans.
was well known throughout the South
ern states as one of the bravest ofIi-
GERS of the Confederate army. He sac
rificed an eye, a leg. an arm to tho
cause, which be believed just, and
came out of the war, as he declared,
'only half man." Bat the half that
was left enjoyed q joke as kesnly as
ever. Science replaced the lost mem
Ibers so SUCCESSFULLY that nobody vino
was ignorant of his misfortune could
detect it.
The General often told the follow.
ing story:
Stopping at hotel in Mobile, a ne
gro boy was detained to help him pre-
pare for bed. After his bag was un.
packed ard his coat laid aside. he
said: Now, Sam, take off my leg"
Sam started speechless.
Don't you know how to take of

He uuscrewed the leg and keeping it

empty. A man and boy were
near this latter house. The boy
sought shelter in the cellar, and
was afterward dug out of the
debris, slightly bruised only.
The man lay down in a draw
near by and escaped injury.
Next we drove to the Helfrich
farm, six miles north of Ellin-
wood and ten miles east of Great
Bend. Here we found devasta-
ton equal to if not more complete
than that at the Welch place.
Practically nothing of value was
left on the site of what but a
short time before had been a.
pleasant home. When the cy-
clone came there were thirteen
people at this place the home of
VIM. Helfrich. The. elder Helfrich
(Geo.) and wife had just driven
into the yard in a buggy, Jacob
Gales, and wife, and another
neighbor wife and children. were
also at the house. All were out
aof'doors when the storm struck.
All were tossed about with the
flying mud and broken debris.
Mrs. Geo. Helfrich was injured
SO badly that she died before the
following morning. Almost
every bone in her body was brok-
en-. Geo. Helfrich, the old gentle
man, was also badly cut and
bruised up, ribs broken and
probably hurt internally. A
little daughter Of VIM. Helfrich
had an arm broken, Mrs. VIM.
Helfrich was seriously injured.
All were more or less bruised and
cut.
North and west from this place
the same twister struck the
place of Chas. Schneider. His
immense barn, machine sheds,
windmill and other small build
ings were demolished, and much
stock killed. The residence
escaped, with a few shingles only
torn Off Of one corner. The low
er part of the barn, from the
floor af the hay NOV down to
the foundation, was sliced out,
the roof taken off and the hay
dropped down upon the founda-
ton. Sweeping through a
big grove of immense cotton
woods north and east of the
Schneider house, the monster
tore up great trees, twisted Off
limbs. and scattered all kinds of
machinery and farm-implements
for hundreds of yards around.
After leaving this place the
storm apparently spent itself in
the Cheyenne bottoms
Still another distinct and sepa-
rate cyclone swept from south
east to northwest in a path
several miles south and west OF
the one north of the church. It
tore away the barn of Frank
Hammeke, uprooted orchard
trees, and passed into the Chey-
enne bottoms near Ed Tinchers'
house.
South west of Great Bend an
other twisting demon swept
across the country, demolishing
the barns and other outbuild-
ings of Joe Monger on the south
side of the Arkansas, crossing
the river and doing the same
thing on the French place.
Only by a visit to the path OF
one of these monsters can one
get an idea of the damage they
will do. They are more deyast-
ating than fire or food.

scenes of waeckags Monday and Tues
