Guthrie Cjrt Mt Galveston.

Guthrie. Miss Edna Acl,ley, a young
lady OF Guthrie, who was In Galveston |
attending the Ursuline convent when
the tidal wave overswept the doomed
city, furnishes the following impress
ions OF her exciting experience:
THE citizens Of Galveston had been
warned OF the coming storm. II was
due Friday, the day before the storm.
AS tidal waves are frequent there, they
did not prepare for anything more than
what is usual ON those occasions. On
Saturday about 3 p. m, a gust of wind
blew down awnings and fences and all
of u sudden II turned dark. People
ran into the large buildings in droves'
Over 400 came into the convent build.
ing for safety. IL was supper time and
the sisters sent some OF the girls down
stairs after eatables. They waded up
to their knees In water, grabbed box
OF crackers and went upstairs. Soon
the water was up to the second story
OF tho convent. The girls went to the
south windows and the breakers on the
gulf were up to the clouds and MS white
as snow. The wind was furious, and
down came the residence houses every
where. The waves, l5 feet high, swept
everything down to death and destruc.
tion. IL was heartrending to see such
homes and happy families destroyed.
Part Of the high stone fence around
the convent crumbied away like a
snake, and part of the top blew away.
We expected to be the next to enter a
watery grave, and p, ayers to God from
the people to save us were right from
the bottom OF our hearts.
"Thc Ball High School building, q
magnificent stone structure, with 500
people, went down with the wind and
waves The Catholic convent with 20
girls and seven nuns was destroyed.
The Orphans Home and the Old Lad
les Home with all the inmates were
lost.
There is not building in sight for
six blocks north Of the beach. Every
residence house was damaged in the
city and the tide did not recede until
noon on Sunday. People that were
fortunate enough To be saved are losing
their minds over the thoughts and
sights. Galveston 10 today worse
than 40 insane ssylums; nothing to eat,
salt water to drink and the scent from
the dead have caused every building

Fort Sill.-An Indian scare has been
In progress In the Coinanche reservation
that has resulted in the complete cessa-
tion Of alloting, the agents and survey
ors having made hasty exit into Texas
TO escape what they thought to be the
wrath OF 500 Indian warriors. The
agents were at work south OF the
mountains endeavoring TO locate cor
ners 30 as TO allot the land, when their
camp was raided by persons whom
they took to he Indians. Much shoot.
ing was INDUCED in, but IL seemed to
be all in the AIR, for no bullet came
near the camp. The camp was In n
lonely spot and the agents are all
tenderfect just out from Washington.
The promiscuous shooting was more
than they could stand 80 they pulled
out toward the Texas line, ths only
way left unguarded by their pursuers,
judging from the firing. They did not
stop running until they got into Texas.
There they telegraphcd to Fort Sill
and the commander of the post sent
out several detachmcnts Of cavalry and
also a small battery with instructions
to fire the cannon every hour. The
soldiers are faithfully carrying out the
instructions. IL is the belief here that
the cowboys and the mischicvous
young Indians played cruel practical
joke upon the alloting agents. The
Comanches are very we'll satisfied with
the terms OF the law opening the lands
to settlement, and are In no mood to
oppose allotment with force.

The vote on the currency bill was post
poned until Feb. Is because a single sena-

with all the Republicans and Democrats to
take the vote a week earlier. In fact, all
the Democrats were willing to have the
vote taken before the close of January, but
Allen alone stood out. Thus one man is
able to delay the vote on bill two weeks.
II this is called senatorial courtesy the
country would like to see little senatorial
discourtesy. The Senate should revise its
rules so that the majority shall be able to
limit debate and come to vote. AS 1t now

Allen will not, however. delay action so
much, as the conference committee will
