The most terrible and destructive
tornado that has occurred for years,
struck Oklahoma Tuesday night, sixty
two persons were killed and scores bad
ly injured. The towns of Norman and
Moore, between Arkansas City and
Guthrie. were almost totally destroyed.
A severe hail storm followed the cy-
clone. Hail has done more damage in
Oklahoma than the dry weather in
Kansas.
Last Friday Roy Mayhem, aged 90,
son of Ed. Mathew, of Lincoln, was ex-
ahmed in the probate court OH the
charge of insanity. He has been sub
ject to epilepsy for the past four years
and had recently suffered from severe
attack of la grippe in consequence of
which his condition had become such
that the doctors decided that he could
not be treated properly here. He was
adjudged insane and taken to the asy-
lum at Ossawatomie on Saturday by
Sheriff Roberts and W. S. Hebron.

NO words are strong enough to
point out the danger of slow poison
ing by drugs which are often taken
to procure sleep. whether it be an al
coholic nightcap, morphine, opium,
choral or any other. The medical
man has recourse with reluctance to
these as a last and temporary resort.
and only he can tell how many lives
are wrecked by the illtimed use OF
them and their subsequent abuse.
OF all horrible dreams none is s.
awful as those which assail people

the world for procuring sleep are
