From Gus Bennert. who visited Walnut City Sunday, we learn the following particulars of the cyclone which passed over that place Friday morning, leaving almost a total wreck of everything in its wake. The storm trom evidences lett, was net more than thirty feet wide, and came from the northwest. There was seventeen houses blown to pieces or badly ws The toreceive the storm belonged to Mr. Bennert. ted inthe western part of the town first house sed. This building was loca- a as and had been used until iately restaurant. Itcontained about $250 worth of goods, besides, tables, chairs, cooking utensils, &c. The house and contents which were val- ued by Mr. Bennert to be worth $1,- 200 were:a total loss Mr. Bennet says that a strange freak of this storm was, that a lumber yard right near his building and in the course of the cyclone was unharmed ap- parently not a plank being moved. The Butler Syndicate block which | contains some eighteen business houses all escaped with the excep- tion of one building belonging to Patterson & Hitchew. Fencing and outhouses were pick- ed up by the angry wind and hurled away like straw. We have not learned whether any ot the parties insured will rebuild or not, but it snot likely they will, under the present circumstances at least. Sure- ly Walnut is unfortunate.

It bakes, boi's and cooks better than any cast iron stove I ever saw, and does not throw out heat in the room unless you open the draft. It is so much easier tora woman tv cook over on that account. It does not take half the fuel of a cast iron stove and cooks so much quicker. We are exceedingly well pleased with it, and would net part with it at all. Respectfully, Caleb Hubbard and wife.
