1t often happens that the doctor is out
OF town when most needed. The two
year old daughter OF j. Y. Schenck, OF
Caddo, Ind. Ter, was threatened with
Group, he writes. "My wife insisted
that | go for the doctor at once but as
he was out Of town, | purchased a bottle
OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy which
relieved the child immediately" A
bottle OF that remedy in the house will
often save the expense Of a doctors bill,
besides the anxiety always occasioned
by serious sickness, When it is given
as soon as the croupy cough appears, it
Will prevent the attack. Thousands of
mothers always keep it in their homes.

TWENTY KNOWN DEAD
Nearly Twice as Many Miss
at Shawneetown.
HUNDREDS ARE HELPLESS
OrenChed and Half Frozen on
Dykes and Housetops.
HUNDREDS ARE HELPLES;

Ridgeway, April A-Tonight almost two
have been recovered. and hundreds OF
homeless people are dependent upon char
ity for food and shelter. The death list
is likely TO be largely increased when
definite information from the negro quar-
ter. which suffered most, is secured. The
flood burst upo these people without warn
ing, and owing TO the weak construction
of their shanties. they toppled over in
the rush Of water, leaving their inmates
no means of getting out OF danger. Hun
dreds Of people who lived farther from the
river front sought safety on roofs and
in upper stories. or made a retreat TO the
hills at the west. These are being re-
moved as rapidly as possible TO places
where they can be given proper care.
No effort has yet been made TO search
for bodies, the attention of the relief par
ties being directed almost entirely 10 the
distribution Of supplies and making hte
homeless as comfortable as possible. The
relief work is we'll organized Tents and
blankets sent by the governor today will
be promptly distributed. Those who es-
capped lost everything and their homes
are in ruins.
LIST OF MISSING
The missing, as far as known tonight,
are:
Colonel Callicott. Wash. Callicott, Mrs.
Callicott. Mrs. Galloway, Dora Galloway.
Mary Galloway. Mrs. Holly. Mrs Greer,
Mrs. Ed Flake, Charles Clayton, Mrs.

Late tonight 1t is estimated that the
loss of life in the negro quarter may
reach fifty besides those accounted for.
SOME PERILOUS SCENES.
Ed. Flake, whose wife was drowned,
came to Cypress Junction today and said
that there were fifteen people in his house
when the food struck the building. On
ly himself and one other succeeded in es-
Gaping before the building toppled over.
Mr.. Flake was hysterical from grief and
could not give the names of the thirteen

What is Left of Shawneet0wn Likely
to he swept Away.

Ridgeway, ILL.,, April 4.-Shawneetown,
f1ood-swept last night, is threatened with
total destruction tonight. Innumerable
more lives may be lost before another day
has passed.
Hundreds of people have not yet been
rescued from the houses in which they
were imprisoned. others are still in the
tree tops, and still others are afloat on
the waste Of the torrent Late reports
say the entire levee will be destroyed
by morning and every frame house in
town is certain to be dashed to pieces
The wind is blowing thirty-fve miles an
hour. with rain that cuts like glass Great
fear is expressed for the rescue force now
in Shawneetown, as nothing can resist
the power of the waves, dashing ten feet
under the impetus of the gale. II the
storm does not cease, the entire town is
doomed, as well as most of the people
who have not yet reached the hilI-tops

Capt Ben Hegler some trouble before he
can assume the joint Offices Of supreme
court clerk and territorial librarian TO
which he was appointed by the supreme
court last Saturday. PROFESSIONALLY the
court has direct control Of thr appoint
ment Of its clerk and Edgar Jones, the
present clerk, readily handed in his resig-
nation of that Office when it was sug-
gested 10 him by Chief Justice Burford.
who also insisted that he include in the
resignation the words territorial librar-
ian," notwithstanding Jones' protest that
he held the latter Office by virtue of a
commission from the governor and that
to the governor he would resign. In the
consultation held by the judges the chief
justice suggested the name of Capt. Heg-
Ter for court clerk and librarian, Burwell
presented the name of L. NJ. King Of
Oklahoma City and Hainer proposed
George Dodson Of Guthrie. who was also
supposed to be the governors choice, had
the latter been consulted. But as a mat
ter of fact the governor was not aware
of the courts action until his return from
Oklahoma City. Chief Justice Burford
does not pretend, so it is said, that the
supreme court has the authority to ap-
point the librarian, but that its action is
merely a recommendation to the COVER
nor which he can confirm or reject. How
ever this may be, il can be positively stat
ed that Librarian Jones will not turn over
the office to Capt Hegier or anyone else
who does not bear a commission signed
by the governor.
Mr.. Jores' resignation takes effect on
April Is, when he will have served four
years and nine months. During that time
he has served under two territorial ad-
ministrations and under ten of the thir-
teen judges appointed since Cleveland's
second Inauguration. When he took
charge of the library it consisted Of little
more than a few bound briefs and copy
of the Oklahoma statutes. 1t now con-
tans 10000 volumes and would be a credit
to almost any state in the union.
