Perry. O. T., June 9.-The storm
which passed over eastern Oklahoma
Friday night was the most severe
since the opening of the strip. Sweep
ing down from the Kansas state line
and covering about fifty miles IN
width, rain, wind and hail swept over
the country as far south as old Okla
homa. The rain simply fell in tor
rents from early in the evening until
midnight. The fury of the storm cen
tered in a tornado about $50 p. m.
at point near the Kansas state line.
The tWister took southeasterly
course and was most disastrous on a
belt ten miles square in eastern Kay
county. The little town of Eddy was
struck and of twelve or fifteen build
ings in the place all were leveled to
the ground except the railroad sta
ton. Flying lumber was scattered for
miles. The people of the town sought
places of safety early One unknown
man was killed and several persons
slightly injured by flying debris.
The track of the tornado between
this point and Tonkawa, distance
of eight miles, was laid to waste. Five
farm houses with barns and Outbuild-
ings were blown away, but the occu-
pants all escaped injury. Fine fields
of wheat in the midst Of harvest were
laid to waste. The tail end of the
storm fell with terrible force upon
Tonkawa and thirty dwellings and
business houses were scattered like so
much loose lumber. Citizens who had
been watching the advance of the tor
nado sought shelter in caves and eel
lars. A few miles from this paint the
cloud lifted and the country below did
lot suffer much from the storm except
by washouts and hail, which did some
damage to fruit crops.
At Blackwell, few miles north of
Tonkawa. F. H. Crawford, carpenter,
was struck by lightning during the
storm and instantly killed. At Bill
ings, Noble county, much damage was
done. Seven people were reported
killed and many severely injured.
Wichita, June 9.-The most disas-
trous storm which ever visited Okla
homa prevailed in Kay county Friday
night. The tornado struck Billings,
Eddy and Tonkawa, its influence
covered a stretch of country ten miles
wide by thirty-six miles long, destroy
ing towns, farmhouses and crops, the
financial loss exceeding 100000.
At Eddy three persons were Killed:
Mrs. Maud McGathri, Louis McGathri
and Robert McGifin. The injured
are Chas. Goldsmith, John McBrain,
Hugh Prather, Judd McWilliams, How
ard flanagan, Ruby Higinboth and A.
D. Evans. 1t is reported two persons
were killed at Billings, but this cannot
be verified.

Milwaukee, June 9.-Frank J. Tack,
was found guilty by the jury in the
municipal court of the charge of en-
bezzlement of $1,000 brought against
him by the National Express company.
His attorney secured a stay of SEN
tence until July Is, on the representa-
ton that they intend to take an ap-
peal to the supreme court. The ground
for the appeal will be the refusal of
Judge Brace to admit any testimony
relating to the insanity of the defend
ant or his family. Tack has had two
trials. On the first trial special plea
of insanity was entered. The jury
found him sane, but disagreed on the
issue Of embezzlement. On the last
trial the court refused to allow any
testimony regarding insanity.

easy, and consequently IS very largely
INDUCED in. 1t is, however, not only
in the cities that have abolished SAM
lags that this kind of drinking has in
creased. It has found it's way into
samlag and prohibition towns alike.
Ale and wine have become more and
more fashionable in later years. Vast
breWeries have been erected and more
are in the process of erection every
year. More and more wine, too, is
fear not SO much the brandy as the
milder drinks.
That this laxity with regard to the
sale of these milder beverages is an
evil which ought to be remedied is un-
questionable, but the problem how to
remedy it is more difficult than is ap-
parent. It might seem that it would
be an easy matter for Norway to al
low the samlags to assume exclusive
control over the sales of all kinds of
liquor, and, indeed, it may seem
strange that she, face to face with the
danger of being flooded by these bev-
erages, has not made provisions to
that effect already; but here, as gen.
orally in all matters of reform, there
are obstacles in the way. Unfortu-
nately, as a result of earlier liquor
Legislation there still survive several
hundred licensed merchants who, ac-
cording to the law of contract, hold
unassailable rights to trade in ale and
wine as long as they live. AS long as
these private saloons continue the
traffic, there is little hope for improve
ment.
1t is hoped that for a reasonable
sum the merchants will relinquish
their rights. If this is done and all
rights are transferred to samlags then
there is every. reason to believe that
the sales of ale and wine will, like the
sales of brandy, be greatly diminished.
To achieve this appropriation is there
fore the next and necessary step in
the further development Of the tenn
perance movement in Norway.
There is therefore no criticism to
offer against the Gothenburg system
other than that it has now reached
point in it's history where operating
according to it's past principles alone
it is no longer adequate to foster to
higher degree the sobriety of the
Scandinavian people. The necessary
change, however, will not be a change
in the fibre of the system. The new
system of absolute control Of all in
toxicants by samlags will simply be
the Gothenburg system completely
realized.
The purpose of the Gothenburg sys-
tenn is to do away CD with the evil
influences of the Individual greed for
gain, (2) with the reckless impover-
ishment Of the poor through drinking
on credit or pawn tickets, CD with
the injury arising from the sale of
liquor to young people, (4) with the
violation of restrictive regulations Of
the law in regard to hours Of sale, to
the quantities allowed to be sold, and
to the entire management of the bust
ness, 60 with a competition which
lowers prices, CO. with the use of an
unnecessarily large number of Ii
censes and finally CD with the evil
influence of the saloon as an element
in political life. When the system has
been extended to the sale of all alcO-
holic beverages, it will, by virtue of
it's many excellences, exert a blessed
influence upon the future.

in store when the official census re
Turns are made known. Instead OF
the confident predictions of 100000

indicate less than 100000.
The evidence points to the shortage
