THIRTY BURIED At ONCE.

General Funeral of tho victiuas of tho
Oklahoma Cyclone - Scenes Of Desola.
ton. -, =
KANSAS CITY, No., April 29.-There
was general funeral in the southern
part of Oklahoma territory Friday.
Thirty bodies were inferred at once. A
grief-stricken crowd was present. Desc
lation was on every hand. An un-
known child, badly mangled but still
alive, was found on the prairie in the
Chickasaw Indian nation. Its leg is
broken in six places and it's body hor-
ribly bruised. It is supposed the child
was carried many miles by the storm.
Plenty of evidence of the circular mo-
ton of the storm is left, for in several
places trees were blown down toward
the northeast, and 200 yards away trees
are uprooted in a directly opposite d.
rection. Such fenceposts as remain.
standing in the path of the storm are
bent at angles of As degrees, and in ono
place, near O'Connor's farm. only seven
teen posts remain to mark line of wire
fence mile long.
A bundle of twisted iron the size of a
mans head was found, and it proved to
be the big wheel of a hay rake with
the tire blown off and the wire spokes
rolled up around the hub. The axle of
a new wagon, with the hubs intact,
but the spokes missing, was also found.
Dead jack rabbits are found on the
prairie with the hair all blown off their
bodies and hundreds of chickens are
tangled in barbed wire that lies all
over the prairie. In every case the
chickens are absolutely without feath-
ers except on the tips of the wings:
Many dead birds of all kinds have been
picked up, as we'll as small pigs, calves
and colts. +

To Enforce tho Law.

Mayor Sullivan, of East Grand Forks,
has issued his mandate to the effect
that the gambling fraternity must take
walk, and gambling places of every
nature must close up at once. The new
chief of police, Thomas Campbell, has
orders to see that the new mayors
commands are executed. The frater>
nifty have come to the conclusion that
Mayor Sullivan means business, and
are already packing up their outfits
preparatory to departure. The mayor
has also ordered the sporting houses
closed up, and has plenty of assistance
from the elements in enforcing the or
der, for the flood has driven ont the &C.
cupants. Mayor Sullivan says the day
has passed when the gambling frater-
nifty can control the municipal govern
ment, and the respectable portion of
the community are entitled to their
rights. The city will no longer be
managed for the benefit of the saloon
element.

form of Victor telegraph key, such as is
in use in most telegraph offices, except
that it was of gold instead of steel, and
a button of ivory instead of rubber. AS
the last words fell from the presidents
lips. he pressed his finger upon the but
ton. The audience burst into thun-
dering shout; the orchestra pealed forth

and overhead the flags at the tops of
