and Injured.

WICHITA, Kan., May 3.—The cyclone which passed through lie western part of Harvey, killing 12 persons near Halstead and seriously injuring several others, was one of the most destructive that nas ever visited Kansas, with the exception of such as have taken large towns in their sweep.

A line beginning in Sedgwick county, at the Mount Hope bridge, within Carlisle ranch, and

Ridge, McPherson county, is not far irom "J.") miles in length, and by a caivlul count there is, or was, upon this line li larmhouses, every one of which was either totally demolished or so nearly so that it might as well have been.

A complete list of the places totally destroyed is: George H. Keener, Mrs. Gus Jb'rye, Mike &. Pala.-vki. John A\ e.lling, Joseph Wear, Martin (Jhapni, illiam Armstrong, Bert Frizzle, Cyrus Hinkson, J. Bart, H. Hnmniey, A. F. Paw 11(41. .Mrs. Coalos, Spiner Roy, Andrew Tiiompson, M. S. Hege and C. Bachuian.

So far as known the dead are: Four members of the Schmidt iamily —lather, mother, son and daughter.

Mrs. Joseph Wear and three of her children. Miss Cora Noff.

Fanner Baeliman. William Armstrong. Grandma Chapin. Among the injured are: Joseph Wear and child, dying. The widow Frye, internally injured, recovery doubtful.

Mrs. James Cummings, seriously. Major Frizzle. Jake Salinski, injured on the head, unconscious.

Mrs. William Armstrong. William Morris, seriously. Cyrus Benson, fatally. The funerals of tlie Wear family took place at Halstead yesterday, as did also the funeral of Miss Neff. The city was in deep mourning and the funerals were attended by people for miles around. The funeral of Mr. Armstrong and Mrs. Chapin took place at Burrton and there was a large crowrd and general mourning.

Crowds of people visited tlie scene from Hutchison, Newton, Wichita and other places.

Tlie neighboring farmers and citizens of Halstead held a public meeting hist night to devise means to get. relief for the injured and damaged people.

One curious incident occurred at the home of Cyrus Hinkson. The family went in the cellar and a horse was picked up from somewhere and thrown in among them, after which tlie house was torn away without injuring aiiy of them..

The storm passed -ever Mound Ridge, doing no damage, but filling the town with debris ami dead cattle. Aueeuliar feature of the storm was the fact that it rained heavily east of the path of destruction, but not west of it.

IN SECRET SESSION. 1

_\liner9

Divided oil the Ten Cent's Jio ti-nlio.i Proposition.

CoU'YoU's, (.)., May 3.—The Ohio Miners' association, by committee, informed the operators that they were not

ve employment in Ohio, Indiana and linois, but, as heretofore slated, lv the operators' chief spokesman, such retention and use of money would practically amount to illegal conspiracy and can not be accepted.

The situation, therefore, is that unless the miners in the secret session who oppose this effort at alleged conspiracy, can prevail upon its friends to recede, times ahead, according to tlie operators, and especially in the Hocking valley, present a positive prospect of absolute cessation of mining.

W. P. K'-nd, the well known coal operator, wired the Ohio coal operators from Pittsburg last night as follows: "A thorough investigation of the mining situation in western Pennsylvania and an intimate knowledge of the plans and purposes of many of the leading opera tors of this section convince me that the. miners will surely he defeated in their present strike,. Tliis result will not he changed by any action of the Ohio miners. As you are aware I have

actively opposed the present movement to reduce wages in the. Pittsburg district below tlie (}i cent rat'-. "Yesterday over 100 on'side men were put to work by Mr. Robbing at his Jumbo mine. Several other operators are arranging to fill their mines with men in case of a prolongation of the strike. If uniformity of wages could be secured in this section demoralization and lowering ot wages in competitive fields could be very largely prevented."

Quiet in West, Virginia.

WHEELING, May 3.—Neither the state or the federal authorities have received ati,y alarming reports from the scene of

They are very reticent, more so than ut the late coiiforen in January and more than usual. They are divided in opinion upon the question of asking the operators to retain 10 cents to go toward tlie suppose of certain Pittsburg miners, who are striking for terms which would

IS I I May 3.—Ail intimate friend of the £Bush family, Mrs. Gordon's relatives, is authority for the statement that so tar as they are couI cerned nothing would be done toward pushing the prosecution against Fultou

Gordon. They are anxious for the whole unfortunate alfair to be hushed up and will allow the matter to be liiopped.

A special from Henderson says Governor Brown's brother-in-law stated yesterday that tlie governor would do nothing toward prosecuting Gordon, but would simply let matters take their course. The governor and his wife returned ,* Frankfort yesterday. It is

that he will testify that Brown fired the first shot. His defense for killing his wife will in all probability be temporary in.'janitv.

SPECULATED IN CHICAGO.

Two Young Men of Kati Claire, Wis., in Dc-eji Waters. EAU CLAIRE, May 3.—Two sensational cases of embezzlement came to light here, implicating two of the most prominent and best connected men in the city—Harry B. McMaster, assistant cashier of the Eau Claire National bank, and C. H. Greene, ex-city treasurer. The former's shortage is $26,000 and the latter's $35,000. Greene has just retired from the treasurership. Botl. men have been speculating jointly on the Chicago board in wheat and pork. About a week ago they became unnerved by their heavy losses and confessed.

An investigation followed, resulting in the arrest of both. McMaster pleaded guilty and was bound over. Greene delayed his hearing. McMaster's father, who is county treasurer, has offered suitable security to tne bank, and it is believed that Greene will do the same. Both are young and married. The directors of the Eau Claire National bank met and made up tfie $25,000 shortage of McMaster, and the bank will not suffer.

Fugitive From. Justii LEXINGTON, Ivy., May 3.—James F. Wilson, who has for years been a fugitive from justice, being under indictment at Brooklyn for grand larceny, was arrested at the Lelaud hotel last night by Detective J. O. Campbell of the Pinkerton agency of Chicago. Wilson was a shoe drummer, and got away with several thousand dollars of his employe's money.

The workmen at these yards refused to strike Wednesday when visited by a committee from the union. A warning was sent to the superintendent of the woi'ks by the police and lie barricaded the gate leading to the yards and awaited the mob's appearance.

The "Destrict Skule" entertainment given last night under the auspicies of the

well attended and highly appreciated by all. At 8:10 the curtain went up and a comic [quartette was rendered after which a beautiful solo was sung by Mrs. Fannie Huston. Immediately after her song the pupils were seen going to skule and while on their way created much amusement. The audience next looked upon a school room presided over by Prof. Lee O. Harris who conducted the skule in a becoming manner. The pupils were all up in their parts and caused great merriment by their funny answers to questions. It would be impossible to describe all the antics of the pupils but we can say they all played their parts to perfection. Perhaps it would not be out of place to make a special menticn of John Felt who played the part of a verysmall boy. He always had an answer for each question and was always hungry. He created much fun.

The committee who had charge of the entertainment are well pleased with the reception the "skule" received and wish to extend their thanks for the liberal patronage. They wish to publicly express their thanks to those outside of the church and Endeavor Society who so kindly assisted them in the entertainment.

Tlie Location ot tlie New .School Building. It looks now like the location of the new school building had narrowed down to a choice between the Selman and Sivey lots, corner of North and Pennsylvania Sts. and the Cooper lot on North street just two lots east of the other location. The cost of the two is about the same but the first named location is certainly the preferable one as it is on a corner of two of our principal streets and the building would show up for the city very much better. We know however that the School Board and Superintendent Wilson are disposed to make the be.-t selection piss-ible for the citizens and the city. What we all want is a good building, centrally located in which our children can be cared for in the best possible manner, and then a good city library and reading room for the benefit of all our people.
