MANY LIVES LOST.
Terrible Suffering Throughout
Oklahoma Territory.
A Father Murders His Family to
Prevent Suffering.
nlany Sod Heuss will Some Day Give Up Iis
Now Unknown Dead.

KANSAS CRY. Mo-. Feb. lS.-Rspolts
received today from Oklahoma and Indian
Territory make 1t almost certain that At
least 80 lives were lost during the great
storms Sunday. Many isolated homesteads,
where the families were poorly prepared
for winter, cannot be heard from for days,
possibly weeks, and there 10 reason to be-
lieve that so will not represent the total
number of the dead. In western and south
western Kansas there was great suffering,
and it is probable that in more than one
sod house dead bodies will some day be
found.
A report comes from the northern part
of Oklahoma territory that six persons of
one family were murdered by the father to
prevent their suffering while dying Of cold.
The bodies were found 10 one house with
the throats cut. In the house was also
found note signed by the father, who left
word that he had killed his wife and chill
dren to save them from freezing. He
added that he himself would comm sui
eide, and the evidence of his wounds and
knife clutched in his right hand as it lay
beside him, bears out bis promise of self
destruction.
Mrs. Fannie Spencer, IL miles from
Bross, was found frozen to death. All her
fuel was burned out. Many persons are
still liviug in the tents, and as fuel is scarce
their cordition is awful.
James Mulligan Of Perry was found fro
zen to death last evening and his partner,
Harvey Newcomb died from exposure and
cold Is miputes after being found.
At Ponca, Miss Jennie Cramer and two
children were discovered frozen sti6 in q
coyotes hurrow, 10 yards from their house.
Col. Henry Melton, a cowboy, was discov-
cred by party of hunters early yesterday
morning dead under his horse.
A courier just in from the vicinity of
Alva reports a dreadful state of affairs in
that locality. More than 100 head of horses
and cattle are frozen.
1t is certain that there have been a large
number of fatalities among the settlers of
the Cherokee strip. Two families near
Fonca perished, and man was found dead
east of here in Lincoln county. Large
numbers of cattle and other stock per-
lshed.

thought the life savers will be successful
then as the weather is moderating somewhat

Millions Are to be Spent by the
Great Nations for War Ships.
Although the new shipbmlding policy
of the British admiralty may not be
entirely announced until the naval es-
Inmates are presented in March, the
decision just reached to devote S35.0O0.-
900 in Strengthening the fleet is a fact
OF croWning Importance. The leading
details of the new programme are al
ready we'll understood.
1t is now demonstrated that, in spite
of the confident declaration of the
government that England's navy is
more powerful today than the navies
of France and Russia combined, there
will be new and costly OUTLAWS to
strengthen it. The truth is that the
practical question is not what the
French and Russian navies now are
but what they will be under the plans
contemplated.
England had nearly completed last
year the programme, involving upward
of 500, 600 600, undertaken by the naval
defense act Of four or five years ago
But we find the Russian construction
expenditures for the present year. 1894
including ships and naval guns, figured
at $27, 100000, and those of France, in
round numbers at 1900, 600 The
British projected expenditure for 1894,
as voted last year, is about $14, 6S5, 900,
thus being a little less than that of
France alone. Now the government
proposes nearly two and a half times
as much for next year.
France has now under construction
or in immediate contemplation ten first
class battle ships, four coast defense
battle ships, nine first class, fourteen
second class and four third class cruis-
ers, besides many smaller craft, in
Guiding torpedo boats. England has
now under construction the three ine
battle ships Renown, Majestic and
Magnificent, and gave orders a few
days ago for fourth; the first class
cruisers Powerful and Terrible. three
second class cruisers, two sloops, and
many fast torpedo boat destroyers of
the Havock type, with other torpedo
craft; finally, the remainder of the
ships provided under the Hamilton
programme of 1SS9.-New York Sun.

yapderbilt,s candy Boxes.

Twice month the directress has an
audience with the men who make
pretty things for the table. A candy
box maker consults her about new
STYLES of candy boxes and receives an
order of several hundred, with an addi-
tionaI order to have them supplied with
the best of candy. These candy boxes
are made of satin of all shades and are
often lined with the same material.
They are in new and beautiful shapes,
and twice a month an entirely new lot
of samples are produced and submitted.
The directress is responsible for the
order which tells the maids to place
each day fresh box of bonbons upon
the dressing table of all grown mem
bers of the family and of all family
guests.
The favors for the dinner table are
made by a F'renchman who does MOTH
ing but execute the orders for the ladies
of the Vanderbilt hepard-stokes con-
tingency.
He, too, takes hts orders from the
directress and is roundly reproached If
he cannot offer new creations for each
little trifles, but they must be pretty.
For every day dinners they are plain,
of silk or satin, or very rich paper
tastefully made; but for company din
ners, they must be grand. They are
usually filled with bonbons,
The directress is also empowered to
keep an artist busy supplying new de-
signs for the dinner table. a tiny lake
with a silver swan afioat, and a little
fountain in the center, was one OF the
ideas thought out by an artist employed
by the directress and another was of a
little lake with pure lilies afioat.9 And
so through all the year pretty things
must be planned. The cost does not
matter at all as long as the results are
