CHAOS IN CHANDLER.
The Oklahoma City Swept by Tor
nado end Fire.
1he Town Filled with the Dead. Dyfns
and Injured. with Ruin and Desc
Iation Wherever the Human
Eye Rests.

GUTHRIE, Okla, April There is
ehaos In the town of Chandler, 40 miles
east OF here Last nights terrible
tornado has turned the peaceful town
OF 1,5O0 inhabitants into a veritable
morgue, and its principal business
buildings and residences lie wrecked
IN all directions.
As yet there is no way of getting at
the actual number of dead and wound
ed, so intense is the confusion that pre-
walls The death list is variously esti-
mated at from 25 to so, with the in
Jured numbering from as to twice that
number. Already 20 dead bodies have
been received
The night in Chandler was one of in.
descr1bable terror. With many of it's
inhabitants dead or dying and the re-
mainder too badly injured or unable
from fright or because of the darkness
TO render assistance, little better or
der than bedlam prevailed. Rain
poured down upon the disconsoIate
inhabitants all during the weary hours
and added horror to the situation. The
injured in many cases unavaiGngly
cried for hel and lay in the wrecks of
their homes till daylight made it posi-
bic to help themselves or when aid
from surrounding towns arrived.
Many of the wrecks took fire and
burned themselves out, several still
smouldering when morning broke over
the town. From the fires work may
finally come the worst realization of
the disaster, for it is believed that many
of the missing were burned to death.
This phase of the situation will not be
cleared till perfect order has again
been restored, and a careful summing
up of the storms doings is made pos
sible.

Sugar Beet Industry.

In response to an invitation from the
legislature, Prof. w. A. Henry, dean of
the college of agriculture Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, gave lecture in
the assembly chamber on the beet sug-
ar industry. The public had been in
vited to attend and quite crowd was
present. Prof. Henry spoke for about
0rty- five minutes and was listened to
closely.
The commercial production of sugar
rom the beet root is PROBABLY the
lghest example it is possible to pre-
sent of the value of science to agricul-
ure, said Prof. Henry. In 1747 Mar
sraff, German scientist, announced
hat the beet root contained consider
,ble sugar. Achard, pupil of Mar
craft, continued the beet root studies
md in the year 1899 erected small
factory in Germany for producing SUE
dr. from the beet. Napoleon Bona
parte, anxious to advance the interests
# France, set his learned men to
searching new sources for sugar
Shown some sugar produced by Ach-
ard from the beet root, his interest was
at once awakened and his first edict
set aside 100000 for a study of this
plant and its products. Schools we're
established, crops of beets were grown
and factories constructed.
Fostered by the government and
stimulated by the unusually high
prices for sugar owing to war troubles.
beet factories sprang up in France
with great rapidity; and when the bat
tie of Waterloo was fought there were
500 beet sugar factories in France.
With the return of peace and compar
atively low prices for tropical sugar,
every beet sugar factory in Europe was
abandoned. Gradually, however, they
revived, each government carefully
nurturing the industry and aiding it in
many ways. Now Europe produces
more sugar from the beet than all the
tropical regions of the world put to-
gether. In 1S94-5 the humble beet
root of Europe yielded 4,80O,000 tons of
sugar, while the regal cane nlant Of the
tropics produced but 100000 tons.

alysis, made temporary wreck of the her
cuIean frame, and in view of his advanced
age, his anxious friends believed that he was
not long for this world The following is
his own account of his illness
In the latter part of 1890, [ was taken
down with severe attack of typhoid fever,
which confined me to my bed for two months.
Two months is long time to be in bed, but
| was not to get up yet, for intiammat0ry
rheumatism seized me, and it was worse than
the typhoid, for it was more painful. To
add to my trouble and make it more inter-
esting, the infammatory rheumatism was
followed by a stroke of paralysis, and / lost
almost totally the use of my legs and arms,
for | could not walk step and could not
feed myself 1t would seem that 1 had
reached the depths of misery, but such was
not the case, for my kidneys gave out, and
this seemed to be the last straw on the load
that was to crush me.
"My friends all thought would never re-
cover, and though the doctors came to see
me and prescribed, it was easy to see that
they were but trying to make my pathway
to the grave little more easy, without the
remotest hope of recovery and looked for
ward to death with happiness.
"While in this frame of mind, was ad-
vised by a friend to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and began the use of them, taking one
pill after each meal, and this | continued
for one week, and began to fancy perceived

creased the dose to two after each meal, and
at the end of the second week there was no
doubt but what Pink Pills were making me
better, so l kept on using them according to
directions, and in three months was a well
man."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Laura Louise Sykes.

1t is not SO late but that a word
might be said regarding the life of Mrs.
Laura Louise Sykes whose death oc-
Cured at Phoenix, Arizona, Jan. 10.
Mrs. Sykes illness was of some
months duration, but not supposed to
be so serious as afterward appeared.
Hope was entertained that if she would
spend the winter in a less severe eli
mate, partial, if not entire health
would be regained. But it was soon
demonstrated that the fatal disease had
taken too deep a hold to be dislodged,
and in few weeks after her arrival at
Phoenix the patient sufferer was at rest
forever.
The remains were brought to this
city and removed to her old home Sat-
urday, Jan. %, where the funeral serv-
ices were held on Sunday afternoon,
Jan. q, conducted by I. w. Corey, as
sisted by Rev. Fl. S. Roblee, of the Con-
gregational church. Nothing better
could have shown the universal regard
in which Mrs. Sykes was held than did
the large attendance of ole friends on
SO cold a day as was the Oath of last
month.
Mrs. Sykes was born at Pulaski,
Oswego Co., N. Y, May "a, 1854. Her
maiden name was Laura Louise Young.
Oct 8, 1912, she married Lorenzo Fl.
Tracy whose death occurred in little
over a year. Three years later she was
married to Loren Sykes. In 1858 or 4
they moved to this part of the country.
Twenty -four years from the date of her
second marriage death again made
Mrs. Sykes a widow. During all these
ears our sister has lived in quiet pa
thence awaiting the time when she too
should be called homeland that day
has come and gone and we among
other friends mourn our loss and extend
our mutual sympathy to her grand
daughter, Miss Laura Cosgrove.

chapter. The beautiful work was

chapter, and the visitors were de-

all we're invited to the banquet hall
where supper fit for a king was
served. Mrs. G.. Ell. Washburn was the
toastmistress Of the evening and filled
the bill with grace and great credit.
Toasts were responded to by Mrs. Hosea

pleased and voted another notch to the
many successful entertainments of Ra-
cine chapter.
The Order of the Eastern Star is a
branch of masonry, and there is not a
society in the world that has grown
more rapidly and become more popular
than this one.
There are now 25,0 900 members of the
Eastern Star in $500 chapters, located
in different parts of the United States,
from Maine to New Mexico, and Flori-
ola to California. That this grand

that this grand army should fail to
demonstrate its usefulness is a libel
upon the order. In all states where
Masonic homes are located the Eastern
Star is doing good work. Illinois has

The Order of the Eastern Star has,
since the organization of the General
Grand Chapter, grown from an I'M
recognized handful of determined
workers, into the most powerful organ

promises to double it's members in the
next three years.
1t is rapidly becoming a recognized
auxiliary to Freemasonry. Nothwith-
standing years of prejudice and oppo-
sition, it is now being acknowledged
valuable assistant to the noble order in
promulgating the principles of brotherly
love, relief and truth. The lodges are
everywhere opening their doors; former
opponents are becoming warmest ad-
yocates. These are some Of the results
arising from the organization and
Iabors of the General Grand Chapter,
and should continue in touch with this
grand body.
And let us say right here that the
Racine chapter is right in the front
rank, and its present rate of growth
will lead the orders in the state of
Wisconsin.
