one family were killed while two men in
store were crushed to death and
number injured. Another tornado struck
Cimmaron City In the afternoon and was
much more disastrous than at first re-
ported. Not building was left standing
IN the town and several people were In
Jured, some fatally.
A man coming in from an isolated
neiRhborhood in the extreme eastern part
OF Payne county says dozen people were
killed there by a third tornado. 1t will
be several days yet before the full details
OF the storms ravages can be obtained, as
roads are washed out and bridges gone,
consequently no communication and
travel is obtainable.
Reports from Purcell saws a tornado
formed about 5 80 O'Clock north of there
and killed four people and injured several
others. This was followed about an hour
later by a second tornado which passed on
the other side OF Norman and swept
through the most prosperous portion OF
Oklahoma The track OF the second and
worst tornado was a mile wide and
twenty miles long down the valley of the
Canadian river in Cleveland county.
Over one hundred goodiy farms were
swept clean and several bodies of victims
found miles away. During the afternoon
and evening other portions of the terri
tory were visited by cyclones of greater or
less magnitude. West of here a dozen or
more houses were demolished and several
people injured. At one place this morn
ing fifteen dead bodies had been gathered
into one house which the storm had missed
and the scene there was a terrible one. A
carload Of collins had been sent to Norman
and every city in Oklahoma will raise q
fund 10 aid the sufferers. There are
several injured persons yet expected 20
die. There will be general funeral ut
this place and Purcell tomorrow when the
unfortunate people will be buried.

The First Visitors.

The first visitors were the workingmen
on their way to the shops. Probably 1000
or more had looked at tho bell by Z o'clock.
An hour later the crowds began to gather
in the streets to see the official demon
stration which should celebrate the event
OF its visit. superintendent Colbert had
large detail of police ready to guard the
crowds and they were kept moving until
the platforms were built. AT o'clock the
crowds became denser and it was consid-
cred necessary to send for more officers,
but the people were good natured and it
was decided not to do SC. All this time
the carpenters were busy at work on the
platforms on either side. II was at last
decided best to rope off one side and let the
crowd pass on the other side That proved
to be q good idea, but the crowds were
pushing So hard against the ropes. that it
seemed as though some people must be
crushed down. One young lady did faint
and was borne into the committees car
for attention.
AS the crowd pressed on the platforms
and tried to reach the bell one man
handed his ring to one of the officers to
be rubbed on the bell. The idea caught
like wildfre. Instantly scores of hands
were reached out with watches, handker-
chiefs, rings, coins and anything else that
could be got at. The officers very kindly
rubbed the articles against the surface of
the bell and the crowds pressed still
denser. 1t was seen that such a condition
could not last and it was stopped by order
of the police. But not until hundreds had
secured souvenirs to be treasured for
years as mementos of the day.
The crowd presented very motley ap-
pearance, as all crowds do, perhaps. but
this one seemed to be more cosmopolitan
than most others. There were hundreds
in from the country who were not used 10
such throngs and the scrapes they were
unwittingly led into were amusing.
Wraps, hats, handkerchiefs aud other
articles of wearing apparel were torn and
trampled beneath the feet of the multi
tude. But the people were good natured
and took il kindly. The result OF the
tearing process was that the police had
an assorted collection of miscellaneous
articles of adornment before half the peo-
pie had gotten by. Fortunately no one
was seriously injured, though the little
folks and the aged were badly squeezed in
some cases. So eager were the men for a
sight of the bell that they forgot for
time the natural gentlemanly instinct and
crowded all alike.

HANGED BEFORE THOUSANDS.
Two Negroes Pay the Penalty for Their
Heinous Crimes.

BoNHAM, Tex, April 2S.-Jim Burke and
Sam Massey, negroes, were hanged here

At 9:15 the committees from the board
of trade and the Commercial club arrived
at the car and were introduced individu-
ally to the members of thu escort commit
tee and guard OF honor. They immedi-
atelv entered carriages and were driven to
the state house, where they were intro.
duced to the other guests in the governors
reception room. The committee then pro-
ceeded to the east end of the capitol,
where a platform had been erected for the
exercises. The advance of the children
on the state house TO take part in the ex-
ercises was one of the most impressive
sights man eyer saw.
AS the little people gathered in Tonnes
see-st ii was beautiful. Filling all the
two squares from Washington to Ohio
cts, the children were standing as thickly
as possible. Marshaled by their teachers
and looking bright and happy the little
ones waved aloft their banners and sang
and cheered and enjoyed themselves.
Nearly every one carried a bouquet to leave
as a tribute to the bell. At every station
the bell has been almost buried in flow
ers when it left.
Chtldren Out IN EOrce.
The older persons lined the sidewalks,
but were not allowed to enter the in
closure, sacred to the children alone.
When it seemed as though the space was
all full, still the young Americans came
Gnd poured into the square from all four
sides. until It seemed to the waiting peo-
pie as though the entire population of the
city was composed of children and all had
turned out 20 see the bell. 1t was bright
scene, and a scene that will live long In
the memory OF those who saw il. Indian
apolis never saw the like before and will
never again for the came cause.
The children from the catholic schools
were out. 1000 or more strong. headed by
their teachers, and very enthusiastic. These
children were from the parish schools of

persons were permitted inside the curb

AGreat Military Balloon.

A large dirigible balloon Is being

works at Chalais- Meudon, under the
direction Of Commandaut Renard. 1t

In It's greatest diameter. BY a
new arrangement of motor it Is
expected to be able to make
Roadway against air currents ex-
ceeding 40 feet per second, or 2S
miles an hour. The motor is not
fully described, but it will act
either with gasoline or the
gas of the balloon, giving an eff

shaft. The total weight of machines
ry, with supply OF gasoline, etc, will
be about &c pounds per horse power
Previously it has not been possible to
make petroleum motors with a less

horee power. The screw will be in
front, and large rudder behind; the
former will make about 200 turns per
minute. The first experiments with
this balloon are, it is said, to be made
in early spring?

Plaster of Paris Floors.

The French, who have carried the
art of srdening plaster to where it
is utilized for flooring, either in place
of wood or tile, use six parts of good
quality of plaster intimately mixed
with one part Of freshly slaked white
lime finely sifted. The mixture is
then laid down rs quickly as posi-
BILE, care being taken that the trowel
is not used on 1t for too long a time.

very dry, and sfterward be tho
roughly saturated with sulphate of
iron or zinc, the iron giving the
strongest surface, the resistance to
breaking being twenty times the
strength of ordinary plaster. With
sulphate of zinc the floor remains

comes the color OF rusted iron; but IL

Extraordinary Surgery.

The London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian tells the fol-
lowing story: IAN interesting and
curious case, illustrating the recuper-
alive power OF nature, has just been
recorded by surgeon. A workman
while attending q machine used for
cutting blocks off tin had the tips of
two of the fingers of his left hand
clean cut off with the knife. Seven
hours afterward the man went to the
hospital for treatment. The surgeon
determined to attempt to replace the
missing portions of the fingers, all
though the prospect OF getting them
to unite seemed to be most remote.
The wounds were carefully cleansed
and the ends of the fingers were re-
stored to their places and fixed by
sutures. In a fortnight firm union
was found to have occurred. and
when the patient wac next seen, after
q considerable lapse of time time, the
surgeon was able to note that both
motion and sensation were perfect in
the ends OF the fingers"

Peculiar Effects Of Electric Weld =
ing.

ing.
Some of the men employed at the
KolOmna iron works, in Russia, have
lately had some unpleasant experien-
ces. Electricweldlng is practiced there
according to the Bernados:: process.
While engaged on the trying work
the artificer's eyes were, of course,
protected by tiated glasses, but the
skin being exposed, the followin e
symptom were seen: Burning sensation
on the skin and in the eyes; in from
three to four hours, discharges from
the nose and eyes; three to four hours
later, dry cough; four to five hours
later, swelling of the skin and devel-
opment of other systemsi eight t. ten
hours from the commencement OF the
disorder continuous irritation of the
eyes, lasting from four to six hours;
and finally, coloring of the skin.
Then the various effects ceased, and
the skin began to peel. On the
third day the cuticle had completely
decorticated, and by the sixth all the
painful symptoms disappeared. But
for weeks afterwsrd the skin re-
manned colored. These effects, it
would seem, are exactly the same as
those which are induced under scorch-
ing by the sun. Tho best protection
which can be afforded the workmen
against tho evils mentioned, M. Max.

believes consists in q covering Of yell
