Canadian valley, twenty-nine years ago.
this mornings sun sent its rays over an
Oklahoma sea. The final storm and flood
came as a fitting climax to a week of un-
usually heavy rain and damaging floods
The dry spell was broken Saturday when a
fierce storm that turned the streets into
torrents washed away crossings, tore out
sewers and moved small buildings, broke
upon the town. Saturday at midnight the
people were frightened nearly to distraction
when a hurricane, blowing forty-six miles
an hour, drove binding sheets of water
through tile roofs of their poorly or al
ready damaged houses, and threatened to
carry away their possessions. They were
driven in terror TO their storm cellars and
caves and spent the night in momentary
expectation of being borne away by storm
or flood.
Sunday morning shone bright and clear,
and the gauge showed fall Of 81 inches
since Saturday noon. The streets had been
plowed with gulches, small buildings top
pied over, and here and there bits of furni-
ture and other household effects fioated
about. The valley of the Canadian which

dotted with half flooded houses. and horses
and cattle struggling for places of safety.
Yesterday noon a heavy cloud swept up
from the west and another deluge spread
over the town. The water fell in perfect
sheets, and by o'clock the rainfall
amounted to over five inches. "A calm
about clock brought attention to an in
tensely black and monstrous cloud moving
towards the city from the west. 1t was a
typical tornado, indicated by the peculiar
whistle of the wind which almost univers-
ally accompanies a ''twister." The cry.

the streets were soon filled with running.
shouting people seeking cave cellar.
Stores and homes were deserted and the
people huddled together awaiting the blow.
The center OF the storm passed over the
southeastern corner OF the town. striking
the hills across the valley, wrecking all it
touched.
With the tornado came the heaviest fall
of water ever recorded here in a like period,
over two inches falling in thirty minutes
All day the river had been rising at
frightful rate, reaching the sleepers of the
railroad bridge and moving it out of line.
The wagon bridge went out when the water
reached its floor and the bridge and drift,
serving as an obstruction, forced the water
out over the bottoms washing out crops,
moving houses and drowning stock. A dam
on the Ellison ranch gave way TO the tor

DES MONIES, Ia, April 2s-Ths op-
ponents of the cigarette won at every step
in the Iowa Legislature yesterday, con-
cludipg with the adoption of the Phelps
anti-cigarette law of last year with sad-
dition of a $500 mulct tax retail sales of
cigarettes. The Phelps law absolutely pro-
hibits the sale of cigarettes in the State of
Iowa except at wholesale for sale outside
the State. This was held 10 be unconstitu-
tional by Judge Sanborn, of the United
States Court at st. Paul last August. 1t
is reiterated by the Legislature with the
intent of securing the passage OF the bill
by Congress placing cigarettes under the
control of the police laws of the state, thus
removing the objection that the prohibition
interfered with interstate commerce, and
that IL could not be applied to cigarettes
brought into the state in original packages.
1t has been held that a package containing
ten cigarettes sealed was an original pack
age, thus multiplying the law.

neither a great orator nor a man OF over
whelming genius, is nevertheless possessed
OF good common sense. He has been more
or less active in state politics. but was
never regarded as especially leader among
his fellow-men or in his party. He is at
present member Of the Kentucky State
Senate.
The election OF Dr. Deboe TO the Senate
gives the Republicans. counting Kyle for
ty-four votes in that body and ties the op-
position. Oregon and Florida offset each
other. As matters now stand the Repub-
licans. with the assistance of Vice Presi-
dent Hobart, could proceed TO organize the
Senate, taking the committees and the
various offices attaching to the body, but
they will not do it, as the election of a
Democrat from Florida would upset the
arrangement. The election of Deboe will
loosen up the patronage situation in Ken
lucky. The President has resolutely re-
fused TO make any Kentucky appointments
until the Legislature elected a Republican
to fill the vacancy that existed. He can
now proceed to consider a large assort-
ment of hung-up Kentucky cases.
