DEATH RIDES THE CLOUDS,


Guthrie, o. 7. April % AT 6 O.
clock this morning a mighty wave of
water, six feet high and mile wide,
swept down Cotton wood valley and
struck the city. A deafening roar
went up as the water crushed houses
and drove the people from their home
At the first rush every boat and bridge
and swept away. All West Guthrie
is submerged, and twenty OF the bust
ness houses have ten feet of water in
them. The river is thirteen feet above
the ordinary level.
Hundreds of people are in trees,
but can not be helped. Several men,
who were trying to swim the current
to reach four women and q baby IN a
tree were carried azay. A woman
wading from her home with baby
on her head was swept away and lost.
1t is believed that more than a score
of negroes were drowned in the negro
settlement, and persons who escaped
from the flood estimate that fully fifty
persons have been drowned.
L, The heaviest rain IN years has fall
en- throughout the territory yesterday
and last night, a continuous downpour
keeping up for several hours and ev
! rything being flooded. All creeks are
up to the danger point, and some are
out of their banks.
Nine people were seen to drown,
two women and child were carried
away on bridge; one man and two
women we're on house roof when il
went to pieces, and they persisted.
Scores are missing and many build
ings are still going. A girl in tree
for hours just gave up and fell into
the water.

r, f. Bigham, G. E. Doss, and
Harry Carnahan were among the
small kids of the town at that time.
Two of them now are lgrand daddies,
and the other one has grown children.
So passeth time away.
At that time the shrill whistle of
the locomotive had never been heard
nearer than Paducah. Such towns as
Hopkinsville, jacksonville and Hen
derson were without railroad connec.
tions. The festive newsboy was an
unknown entity on the streets of Ma
ron. Boys did not wear legless bree-
ches then as now; and the good peo-
pie would not have believed their sen
ses could they have seen boy going
over the town hunting up dirty shirts
to be washed and "done up" in Evans
vile. The world DO move.

PIONEER DAYS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Mrs. Adams Made Drying Room for Her
Clothes Of the East Room,

Congress first assembled in the
new Capitol on November II, 1900;
and then John Adams, the President
took up his abode in the executive
mansion, writes exPresideut Harri-
son of 1.-THE Domestic sSide of the
White House" in the May Ladies
Home Journal, f'Neither the capt.
toll nor the executive mansion was
fully completed. The proportions of
the house seemed to Mrs. Adams as
grand and superb. The plan was
taken from the palace of the Duke OF
Leinster, in Dublin. IF they will
put me up some bells and let me have
wood enough to keep fires, wrote
Mrs. Adams, Il desire to be pleased
But though literally in the woods no
one could be found to cut and cart
firewood. The few cords of wood
that had been provided has been ex-
pended to dry the plasterlng. A
Pennsylvania wagon, secured by a
treasury clerk, delivered cord and
half of wood, which is, wrote Mrs
Adams, 'all we have for this house,
where twelve ires are constantly re-
quired, and we are told the roads
will soon be so bad that it cannot be
drawn
THE society ladies were impatient
for drawing room, in the executive
mansion, and then Mrs. Adams had
mo looking.glasses but dwarfs, and
mot twentieth part lamps enough,
to light the house. There was no
enclosure, and she made drying
room for her clothes of the great east
room. The original cost of the white
house is said to have been little
more than three hundred thousand
dollars, and something more than
that amount was expended in restor-
ing 1t, after its destruction by fire in
1914, and in the building of north
and south porticos.

STATE ROBBED.
Lumber Tickets Raised and the State
Robbed Of Several Thousand
Dollars.

Frankfort, Ky, May "A sen.
sation has been created here by the
discovery of shortage of a million
feet of lumber at the penitentiary
chair factory. The shortage, it is
claimed, resulted from raising tick.
cts on lumber furnished by dealers.
The loss will amount 10 several hun.
bred thousand feet of lumber and as
the State pays s11 per thousand it
can readily be seen that NO little sum
has been filched from the State by
incompetency or dishonesty. The
officers are laying it at the door of
George Powell, a negro ex.convict,
who is now in Cincinnati, and who,
while In the penitentiary, acted as as
assistant lumber inspector.

| became acquainted with the town
of Marion on the first day of April,
1860. ....,.
The town was not as large then as
now, and the av, rage citizen Of Ma
rion would probably be surprised on
learning how few of the houses now
standing In the town were there then.
Even some people who have lived
here through all these years would
hardly believe that the number of res
licences then was less than thirty, and
that of those less than a dozen now
remain.
or all the houses then used eXclu-
. sively as business houses, the we'll
known two story brick belonging to
J. N. Woods, lately deceased, and the
frame building now used by johnson
~ Koltinsky as grocery store, are
the only surviving relics.
The only men now living in the
town that were here then with fami-
lies are j. w. Adams, j. W. Blue,
ST., d. Woods and A. G. Gilbert.
Commencing with the corner now
occupied by the Marion bank and run
ming down Main street, to the main
crossing, and thence down Salem
street to the residence of w. D, Wal
lingford, the only house that you pass
on your right that was here then is
the one now occupied by johnson d
Koltinsky. All the buildings now
standing in that space have since been
destroyed by fire. In some instances
the fire fend has swept the same
ground twice.
The first house ever built in the
town was then standing opposite the
court house. 1t was double log
house weatherboarded, and was built
by DR.. John S. Gillian, about the
year 1910. At the time of which /

by fire about eight or nine years ago.
The merchants of the town at that
time were: Wilson IL Armstrong. in
part of what is now the Order
House; G. G. Bigham, in house
about on the present site OF the Clark
building on Main street; Meyer d

Nashville, Tenn, May 1.-The

declared opened today by President
John w. Thomas. After the speech
making and the formal presentation
of the keys, President Thomas pres
sed the button that communicates
with the White House, where Presi.
dent Mckinley stood waiting the sig
nal to start the machinery. A mo.
ment passed and the whirr Of wheels
was Leard. All waited in silence as
if they hoped to bear word from
the White House, or perhaps to see
the President himself step out of
space,
AS the machinery began to move
in the great buildings of the Centen-
NAL City, President Thomas stepped
slowly forward and with an uplifted
hand said:
II declare the Exposition open to
the world"
The song Of the cornet began
"Hail Columbia Happy Land and

petals seem to have crapy texture, and
their edges are delicately fluted, and i.
is of the natural wood color.
