SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.
Death and Destruction Caused by 9
Storm in OklahO ma.

Storm in Oklahoma.
Kansas City, Mo-, April IA spe-
cial to the Journal from Guthrie, o. T.,
says:
At 6 O'Clock this evening a terrific
tornado, followed by hail and flood,
swept through the town of Chandler,
forty miles east of here, completely de-
vastating the town. Three-fourths of
the residences and business houses of
the town were totally wrecked or badly
damaged, scores of people being injured,
and many killed.
Darkness at once came on, and the
work Of rescue is carried on under
greatest difficulties.
The telephone Office was carried away,
and at 10 P. M. telephone was con-
nected with the wire two miles away,
and message sent here for assistance.
Up to that time, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Woodman, Mrs. Henry Mitchell, Mrs.
Tom Smith, Attorney John Dawson and
two unknown persons had been found
dead.
Fully $50 people were known to be
badly injured. Mrs. Emma Foster and
baby are thought to be fatally hurt.
Chandler is town of 1900 people
built on hill in thick timber, and the
mass of torn trees and wrecked houses
makes it impossible to reach all of the
people in the dark. On every side can
be heard groans and cries for help, and
the scene is indescribable.
A large number of physicians and
other citizens have left here for the
scene with surgical instruments, drugs
and other supplies.
A later message states that large
number of people known to have been
in business buildings are missing, and
it is feared they are buried under the
ruins.

WHY 50 MANY REGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female nl5-Some True
Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
Is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi-
clan and tells him a story, but not lite
whole story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
It was for this reason that years
ago Mrs. Pinliham, at Lynn, Mass,
determined to step in and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex-
perience in treating female ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour-
aged the women of America to write
TO her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, 1t
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf-
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are the
grand results of her experience.

THE MURDER OF JOHN DECKER.
III. c. st. Clair Is Under Arrest ChnrE-

Boise. Idaho, Nov. John Decker, Il
mining man of Spokane, was murdered in
Long Valley October 81 by II. c. st, Clair,
whom he had picked up on the road.
The identity of the man murdered in
Long Valley has been fully established
He was John Decker, IL mining man OF
Spokane. The story of the crime was
much the same as was given i'll the first
meager reports from the scene.
Decker picked the murderer up on the
road and was giving him lift in his rig.
They drove through Van Wyck on Thurs
day, the DIST. That night they camped
in cabin two miles below. st. Clair
shot Decker while he slept. his purpose
being robbery, and dragged the body out
into guch. He went back TO Van Wyck
the next day and got drunk. His actions
aroused suspicion and search followed,
resulting in the discovery of the body.

many years these people were kept on

THE DECOY COW.

Western Genius.
AS deceptive and dangerous as the

n patent COW just invented by a West
ern genius. The device presents the
perfect outward semblance of most
peaceable and amiable COW, but the
fore legs and the hind legs are in fact
the legs of two men. They are arm
ed with guns, and have a plentiful sup
ply of ammunition.
The device has a flexible outer shell
of canvas or other suitable material,
decorated eXteriorly to represent the
animal in imitation of which the decoy
is constructed. and said shell is adapt
ed to be supported or held in its dis
tended position through the medium or
a collapsible metal framework, which
allows the covering and framework OF
the decoy to be folded into Il small
space for transportation. In the SIDES
of the frame, at suitable points, are
windows or openings, protected by out
ward swinging flap blinds, and through
these windows the sportsman III the

GOLD FROM COOKS INLET
THE RETURN OF ALASKA MINERS.

Spring.

Seattle, Nov. 2.-Several returning min
ers from Cooks Inlet, Alaska. VINO arriv-
ed at Port Townsen,: yesterday ON the
schooner Norman Sunde reached this city
tonight.
Their story does not agree with the one
sent out from Port Townsend in respect
to the amount of gold brought down on
the Sunde. Instead of the amount being
$4,000, they say that it will not exceed
$4,000. They discredit the statement
heretofore made that this years output
of the Cooks Inlet region would reach
100000. One-quarter of that figure
would be nearer the truth, they say. The
country is not yet developed. While there
is no big bonanza on Cooks Inlet, there
are plenty of paying claims. Mills creek
is the best of all The Polly Mining Com
pany, located there, averaged during the
season, with 20 men working, $1,000 a
day, or $50 to the man.
Claims run all the way from 25 cents
to $50 day. 1t is a significant fact that
in Cooks Inlet the Klondike fever is rag
ing with virulence, and a majority of
those coming out intend to go to the Yu
kon.

countered a severe storm off Dixon's en-
trance. She was becalmed five days when
