DEATH IN A TORNADO.
Many Persons Killed and In
jured In Oklahoma.
TOWN OF CHANDLER DESTROYED.
The Dead aud Injured VIII Reach One
Hundred and Fifty - Physicians All
Killed but One-AssIstance From Guth-
rio and Other Cities.

GUTHRIE, y. T., March Sl.-A terrific
tornado, followed by hail and flood,
swept through the town of Chandler, 40
miles east of here, comp ietely devas.
tating the town. Three.fourths of the
residences and business houses of the
place were totally wrecked or badly
damaged. scores of people were injured
and many were killed.
Darkness at once came on, and the
work of rescue is carried on under
greatest difficulties.
The telephone office was destroyed
and q telephone was connected with
the wire two miles away and a message
was sent here for assistance. Up to
that time Mr.. and Mrs. Woodman, Mrs.
Henry Mitchell, Mrs. Thomas Smith,
Attorney John Dawson and two un-
known persons had been found dead
and fully $50 people were known to be
badly injured.
Mrs. Emery Foster and baby are
thought to be fatally hurt.
Chandler is q town of 800 people.
1t is built on hill in thick timber and
the mass of torn trees and wrecked
houses makes it impossible to reach the
injured in the dark. On every side
can be heard groans and cries for help
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 under the ruins.
Twenty-one dead bodies have been
taken from the ruins at Chandler.
Seventy-fve to hundred persons are
badly injured and dozen or more of
these are reported dying.
In addition to those dead, dying and
injured, it is believed that there are a
score or more of dead buried beneath
the wrecked buildings. Several Of the
wrecked buildings have taken fire and
the debris is burning fiercely. Many
of the injured have been burned to
death while pinned fast under the
debris.
In one building, it is reported, five
injured people were burned to death
and at another place the incinerated
bodies of three unknown children have
been taken out.
All the physicians of the town save
one met death in the storm. Nearly al
the physicians of Guthrie have gone tC
the scene of disaster.
KANSAS Cry, March 31.-Reports re
ceived here indicate that the cyclone
which destroyed the town of Chandler
o. r., also passed across the state oI
Kansas, though in less destructive
form.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur.
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form ofdisease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from inn
second way is from careless local treat
ment Of other diseases.
CHEF CAUSE,
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles and suffering so painful to
many that life is made miserable. The
womb, like the bladder, was created foI
one purpose, ard if left alone it is not
liable to become diseased, except in
rare cases. When in position the
womb is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, and for that rea
son any distress, disease or inconven
ience manifested in the kidneys, back
bladder or urinary passage is often by
mistake, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be al
easily avoided by paying little atten
| ton to the condition of the urine (se'

GOT HALF A MILLION.
Warrant Issued for a Wen-Known
Wall Street Man.
OPERATED LIKE THE {. S. DEAN COMPANY,
Henry Oliver Goldsmith Has Found the
Air of New York Too Oppressive,
and is Seeking Quiet in More
Healthful Chimes.

New YORK, Dec. 30.-A warrant is
out for the arrest of Henry Oliver
Goldsmith, one of the best known men
of Wall street. The specific charge
against him is grand larceny in the
first degree, for appropriating check
for $4,000, the property of Oscar A.
Wiessner, OF Brooklyn.
The officials of the district attorneys
Office say that Goldsmith has managed
to get away with something like half
million dollars by operations similar
to those which brought the Z. s. Dean
Co. before the public.
Goldsmith was indicated by the grand
jury on Tuesday last.
Dectives have followed clews all over
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Boston and
other places, but SO far Goldsmith has
eluded them.
Goldsmith and a man nameed Web
ster operated under the firm name of
Hoyt & Co. George Hazelweide and
VIM. A. Mitchell, who were their
brokers, were arrested three weeks
ago for their part in the opera
tions, but the charges against
them have not been tried. They
were dropped from membership in the
stock exchange, but it was upon their
evidence the grand jury found their
indictment against Goldsmith. The
latter is about rs years old, and
in the opinion of the district a attorneys
Office, he was one of the shrewdest
men that ever engaged in Wall street
speculation, after the manner of Dean
d Co. They say his victims are num-
bered by the thousands.
