a Destructive Cyclone.
FIRE UKEAXSOUT IX THE DEIIKIS
The Grand Army Hall Turned Into
a Hospital and the Dead and
Wounded are Beirut Cared
For The City
In Ruins.
This morning paper announce
that Wellington, Kaunas, was struck
by terrible cyclone last evening
and the entire city was destroyed.
About fifty people were
killed and VSi injured, but the
con fusion was ho gre it that the ex
act loss of life could not be stated
definitely last night. Among the
dead are:
MRS. WILLIAM SASHEN,
KITTIE STRAHX,
SILVIA and WALTER FOR.
SYTIIE,
IDA JONES.
The Wellington hotel and the
Phillips house, the two largest ho
tels in the city were completely
wrecked and the ruins of the Phil
lips house took fire. Many of the
guests were doubtless burned to
death.
A heavy storm of wind and rain
preceeded the cyclone about half
an hour. A few minutes after nine
o'clock the cyclone struck the city,
coming from the southwest. There
were no premonitory signs. Erery
body was indoors and the clouds
passed with its destructive rush
unseen. Washington avenue, the
principal business street, is lined
on both sides for block with ruins.
To ad to the horror fire broke out in
the debris of Colonel Robinson's
block and a woman, Mrs. Susan
Ashe, is supposed to have perished
in the flames, and the Monitor,
Press and Voice printing office lie
.'i head of brick and mortar.
Just across the street a laborer
named Fanning was taken out of
the ruins dead, and there are sup
posed to be other bodies in the ruins.
Hundreds of dwellings are either
totally destroyed or more or less
damaged. The city is in darkness,
as broken mains made it necessary
to shut down the gas works and
save destruction from fire.
Hon. James Lawrence, candidate
for attorney general, had an arm
broken. Walter Forsythe was taken
from the ruins dangerously
wounded, and 1ns brother rid was
talking for an hour before his relief.
Seven bodies have been taken out
f the Phillips house ruins, and a
large force of men are hard at work
removing the.debris. Two members
of the Salvation arni3' are expected
to die from injuries received.
At S'juire Smith's residence seven
persons are more or less injured
The streets are littered with tin roof
ng, cloth awning, broken glass arid
timbers.
Kveiy body is on the streets carry
ing lanterns, and it is utterly im
possible to get to the exact facts
The destruction is simply awful
and every minute adds to the hor
ror of the situation.
1 ne standard and lail oliices are
wrecked. The opera house and
dozens of the best business build
ings are useless. Fine school build
ings and churches are ruined, and
the loss will foot up many thous
anus of dollars. No reports have
been received from other points.
The storm came f--om the south
west and beyond demolishing
lew residences did no material dam
age until Jefferson avenue was
reached; here the Lutheran church
was totally destroyed. The storm
ontinued eastward, raising every
Jjuilding in the two blocks bounded
;y Jefferson avenue. Sixth. Seventh
rind Ninth streets.
Mrs. Sashen and Miss Strahn were
sisters. They were killed by the
collapse of the Sashen & Kirk car
riage factor- . nd their bodies are
in the burning ruins of that struc
ture. Silva and Walter Forsythe
received fatal injuries. Ida Jones
was a dining room girl in the Phil
lips house and was instantly killed.
Her body was the first to be taken
from the nuns of that building.

certed into a hospital and hundreds
- ire now employed in carrying the
-dead and injured to places of
safety.

Once upon a time a sweet faced,
black-eyed school marm who was
teaching the young ides how to
shoot, in a district not far from Kim
wood, and this sweet dispencer of
knowledge wanted to come to town
every Friday evening and remain
over Sunday with her people. About
that time in the year there lived a
young gentleman in town who
owned a livery stable, and he sigh
ed for the company of this young
school marm, so he made it a point
to "just happen" by the school
house every Friday evening with a
nice rig and would invite her to
ride to town with him, which she
did. Finally school was out, the
girl departed, the liveryman wrote
sweet missiles to her but received
no reply. He grew desperate and
dunned her for $12 for livery hire,
and in a few days he received a
money order for the amount. The
young man was a lisli. The young
lady paid for her bait.

"A Turkish Bath "
"A Turkish Bath" drew a large
audience at the Auditorium. The
mirth-provoking company were en
thusiastically received, and warmly
applauded again as their gay sal
lies, realistic character sketches, or
excellent singing received success
ively the praise which was their
due.
For real merriment and an eve
ning's entertainment brim full of
fun and wit, without a single objec
tionable feature, nothing could ex
ceed "A Turkish Hath." The wit of
the Irish detective. McGoogle, was
irresistible; and the singing of Mr.
Kckert won for him repeated rounds
of applause. Miss Emma Berg also
charmed all with her sweet voice,
and received repeated encores, to
which she responded most pleas
antly. The duett, "Farewell, Love,"
was epecially well rendered by Miss
Berg a ml Mr.Eckert, who responded
to an encore with a trio, "1 Can't
Believe Her Faithless," assisted by
the clear, melodious tones of Miss
Eckert's alto.
But it was Marie Heath as Little
Dot, the pet of "The Sparrows'
Roost," who won all with her bright
mischief, natural childlike grace
and sweet singing. She was es-
pecialh' delightful in her favorite
song, "Won't You Come Out and
Plaj-r" and responded to an enthu
siastic recall with the old but never
better done, "Listen to My Tale of
Woe." Spokane Chronicle.
