WHEATLAND, April 3.—Yesterday afternoon a small cyclone destroyed about ten buildings and_smashed things up gen- erally on_the Mitchell and Greltman ranches about two miles south of Sher- idan. The action of the wind was m peculiar, On both ranches the residences were uninjured and barns, sheds and out- houses were completely demolished. On both ranches the stables were wrecked, | and while there were thirty horses in the Mitchell stable and eleven in that on the Greltman ranch not an animal was in- jured. A chicken house adjoining the former barn was swept away and fort killed. The twister was purely local and traveiad about three miles, but in this distance it played many range prank: and destroyed about $3000 worth of prop erty.

The contests were chiefly aldermanic, al- though in each of the various townships an Assessor, Collector, Supervisor and Clerk were chosen. The chief interest centered in the aldermanic vote. Thirty- five of these officials were chosen, the Re- publicans securing nineteen and the Dem- ocrats sizteen. The new Council will contain forty Republicans and twenty- nine Democrats.

Jjudge Lawlor yester- day dismissed the second writ of habeas corpus sworn out on behalf of the pris- oner and remanded him to the custody of Deputy Sheriff James W. McLeod and Detective F. F. Leische, who will take him to Seattle. It was contended by George D. Collins, attorney for the defendant, that the pro- ceedings by virtue of which his client was in custody were irregular and illegal, and the prisoner should be discharged. The court, however, found that the requisition | papers and_warrant were in conformity with the law and remanded Collins, Kected and north. e journey The kidnaping charges against the offi- cers will not be pressed if the present in- activity regarding them can be accepted as conclusive; but it is certain that Co! lins has a long fight before him if he hopes to escape conviction on the charge against him.

In fif- teen wards there were hot contests be- tween the league candidates and the re- pudiated nominees. In these contests in- dorsement was successful seven time and repudiation eight Township elections were held throughout fllinols to-day and as far as the returns show at midnight the Republicans seemed to have elected more of their men than the Democrats, although the returns are very incomplete. In none of the elections was there any issue of importance outside of the townships in which the votes were cast and the vote of to-day is therefore of no value for purposes of comparison. In the eity of Quincy the Democrats carried the day, electing almost their entire town ticket. Tn Joliet and Peoria the Repubii- can ticket was elected and in Kankakee the Democrats were successful. A smalil vote is reported from all parts of the State. Republican Gains in Kansas.

In Wichita the Republicans made large gains, carrying every ward in the city except one.

The main issue in most of the smaller places was license, and the results are mixed, the greater number of towns apparently being favorable to iicensing the traffic for another year. While party politics cut _little figure in the smaller towns, yet Republican gains are notice- able all over the State. South Omaha, for the first time in its history, elects a Republican Mayor, A. Retlly being the successful candidate, by 300 piurality. The Republicans also_elect Democrats to five Treasurer, all four Councilmen and two out of three members of the School Board.

Fate of the Cafe Royal and Sporting Houses of a Similar Character to Be Decided Next Week. — The Police Commissioners met last night and considered a number of appli- cations for liquor licenses. Permission to continue running the Midway Plaisance was denied. Ned Homan, the proprietor of the place, made an extended appeal to be allowed to continue in business until he might be able to get another location. He also promised to improve the morai tone of the Midway, do away with the private boxes and make any other im- provements that the Commissioners might Homan presented a lengthy pe- tition signed by a number of Market-street dealers asking that the Midway be grant- ed a license. Chief Suilivan bitterly resented any at- lace. He had the clerk of the board read a report of one of | his men, in which he spoke of the Mid- way as being conducted in an immoral and disgraceful manner. Prior to the reading of the report Commissioner Wal- lace seemed In favor of granting Homan's Tequest for a renewsal of his license, but after listening to it he announced his de- against the applica- (!nn_ A vote was then taken, resulting in Commissioners Newhall and MeNutt vot- ing aye and Wallace ana Mah I'reshfen( Newhall then -hnoun‘z::ly"?:! the motion to reopen the M been lost and orde: to elose o bews £ red Homan to “close up The application of Horrlein & Krumi the Cafe Royal was next taxen up.

He addresed the Commis- sioners at length, explaining the manner in which poker games were conducted in the Cafe Royal and the lzp.rent incltna- tion of the proprietors to keep within the purview of the law. He sald that the games were not run on the percentage plan, and that minors were forbidden to piay or drink at the bar. At the sugges- tion of the attorney the Commissioners agreed to visit the glnce some day this week and see for themselves how the | games are conducted. Final action on the application of the proprietors for a license will then be taken. The hearing of the application of "Ed- ward Finn, who conducts a saloon known as “The Morgue,” at 431 Bush street, for | a license was continued for one week His license will expire on April 5, at which time he was ordered to close his saloon until the Commissioners shall have acted on his application.
