Causes Awful Devastation.
A terrific cyclone has turned Chan.
dler, Okla, peaceful town of 1, 500 in
habitants into veritable morgue and
its principal business buildings and
residences lay wrecked in all direc-
tions.s The death list is estimated at
so, with the injured numbering as high
as 200.
The cyclone struck Chandler without
warning about p. IN. It's work of
carnage began before the inhabitants
realized their danger and hardly any
means of escape was left open. Busi-
ness houses and dwellings were lifted
high into the air, and tossed in every
direction, and piling the debris high in
the streets. Many of the wrecks took
fire and burned themselves out, several
still smouldering when morning broke
over the town. Every building but
one on the main street was wrecked
and burned.
The night was one of indescribable
terror. With many of its Inhabitants
dead or dying and the remainder too
badly injured, or unable from fright.
or because of the darkness, to render
assistance, little better order than bed
lam prevailed. Finally when an effort
to send for aid was made it was found
that all communication with the out
side world had been cut off. The tele-
phone Office was among the buildings
DESTROYED. 1t was several hours be-
fore communication with Guthrie was
secured.

Gen. Rivera. Maceo's Successor Captured

Havana: A force of Spanish troops
under Gen. Hernandez Velasco left San
Cristobal, Pinar del Rio province, and
at Perico Pozo encountered a small in
surgent force entrenched, under com
mand of Gen. Ruis Rivera, the success
sor of the late Gen. Maceo. The in
surgents opened fire and the Spanish
infantry moved upon the trenches
under cover of the artillery, and one
company of cavalry galloped forward,
capturing the trenches and seizing as
prisoners five men who lay there
wounded. Col Bacallao, on learning
that Rivera was one of the wounded,
hurried to the trenches and begged tie
soldiers not to kill him. Rivera was
taken into the presence of Gen. Velasco.
The larger portion of the insurgents
escaped.

adopted daughter, Ada, at Grand Rap

Wilson to seven years in the Detroit
house of correction, and her husband to
five years in jackson prison. The SEN

An Athens dispatch says: A serious
hitch has occurred. France has not
agreed to the blockade of the gulf at
Athens. The admirals were discussing
the details and suddenly the whole
matter is again adjourned for several
days, while NJ. Hanotaux produces his
mysterious plan. The French foreign
minister has assured King George that
there is no immediate prospect of
blockade, and has begged him not to
take action. Nobody here has the
slightest notion of what the hitch is.
Denmark will Help Greece.
Copenhagen: The consultations be-
tween the members of the Danish royal
family have resulted in a resolution to
uphold the present dynasty in Greece.
The dowager czarina will remain here
until the end of the month. A special
cipher telegraphic service has been es-
tablished between Copenhagen and St.
Petersburg and it is believed that the
dowager czarina has succeeded in in
ducing the czar to support King George
as far is consonant with the interests
of Russia.
Moslems Mutilate Dead Christians.
Canea: AS the result of fight here
six Christians were killed and IL
wounded. The bodies of the dead
were savagely mutilated by Mussul-
mans. The garrison of Canea was
under arms all night long and the town
was strictly patrolled because of fears
of incendiarism.
King George still Threatens War.
London: A dispatch from Vienna
says it is no secret that King George
has formally stated to the powers that
a declaration of war against Turkey
will Immediately follow an extension
of the blockade to the Greek coast
This fact cannot be left out Of consid-
GRAFTON. 1t is believed in some quar-
ters that If the Gulf of Athens is block
AIDED, popular excitement will compel
the king TO declare war, even if his
own judgement and that of the cabinet
were opposed. This has been a lead
ing cause of the delay in securing a
unanimous agreement between the
powers.

With Thankful Hearts.

Wheat harvesting is nearly over
and the threshing begun. The crop,
in quantity and quality, promises to
be good The same can be said OF
all other grain, and the price, an i'm
provement over past years, is one
cent at the mill All crops and pro-
ducts are good, the general health OF
the community is good, the past has
given us lesson and the future looks
better. Failure OF crops in other
lands creates demand for portion
of the abundance in our own, and
may the benefits accrue to the toilers
and not to the schemers. Truly to-
day our county rests in security,
peace and plenty. No local discord
or turmoil. The glorious golden sun
sets are no more prophetic of COM
ing perfect day than are the bright
indications on all hands of our com
ing and continued advancement and
prosperity.

That Impassahle GORGE.

Tuesday morning very early some
distinguished gentlemen, who are
more or less interested in the future
of this county, started out to find the
Weiser canyon. They succeeded in
locating the ''impassable gorge, " but
strange to relate, the impossible diff
ficulties had vanished-only clear
river, flowing placidiy between
grassy, sloping banks. A common
every day wagon road on one side
and useful irrigating canal on the
other, then opening out into green
fields and cultivated grounds. All
the terrors had vanished at the one
magic touch of investigation, and,
like the sLions in Christians way, !"
harmless when touched. So you will
find it all the way, gentlemen. In
vestgate and put the touch stone OF
truth to our claims for Washington
county and you will see them turn to
gold.
