TORNADO STRUCK OKLAHOMA
NUMBER REPORTED KILLED.
Most Disastrous storm They Ever
Had-Town of Eddy Wiped Out
Several Tswns FIosded-Dcpot
Inundated-Carpen Killed.

Wichita. Kan. June lO.-The most dis
astrous storm which has ever visited Okla
homa prevailed in Kay county recently.
A tornado struck Billings, Eddy and Ton
kawa, and its zone covered stretch OF
country 10 miles wide and 36 miles long.
Half dozen people are reported killed and
a score injured. Nearly every farmhouse in
northwestern Kay county is more or less
damaged, not a windmill has been left
standing and the whole country is covered
with debris. Practically every piece of
glass in Blackwell was broken. 1t is be-
lieved the damage to crops will reach $780,
900. The tornado was the worst at Eddy,
where three persons were killed and several
seriously injured. The list is as follows:
The dead: Mrs. Maud Mccartney, Louis
McGathey, Bob McGrifin.
The iniured: Charles Goldsmith, skull
fractured; John McBrain, leg broken;
H. Prather, nose broken; Jud McWilliams,
head crushed; Howard flanagan, head
badly crushed; Ruby Higginbothen, face
crushed and internal injuries; A. d.
Evans, leg broken.
Three Separate Twisters.
The cyclone came from the southwest
and struck Eddy at $3.50. 1t is also re-
ported that two were killed at Billings.
Very little can be heard from the country
places. 1t is evident that it was not the
same tornado that struck all the places.
1t is probable that three separate twisters
prevailed at practically the same time. At
Eddy only two houses remain standing.
1t was a small town. The prevalence of
cyclone cellars undoubtedly saved many
lives. The office of one tornado insurance
company out of 43 doing business in Okla
homa received ii kilograms tonight an
nouncing total losses. They claim that
their losses will not fall far short of IS
houses in Kay county, and that the total
losses of the 43 companies will be some
thing enormous. Heavy hailstorms struck
Blackwell, Ponca City, Lilyvale, Deer
Greek and Perry.
Terrible Wind at TonSaNya.
Guthrie, O. T., June lO.-A special from
Tonkawa, o. T., says a terrible wind and
rain storm struck there at o'clock in the
afternoon and lasted two hours, causing
more damage than anything that has ever
transpired in that community. Wires were
blown down and communication only es-
tablished this afternoon. Two big church
buildings are damaged and II houses were
torn down and blown away and 30 resi-
dences badly wrecked. The streets were
swept by the rain that followed the wind
and hail. One person was injured-Nlrs.
John Martin, who was hurt by falling
stone as the storm swept the house from its
foundation.
The Salt Fork river is full of rubbish of
houses and furnishings.
The depot and surrounding houses are
two feet deep in water and persons are
compelled to get on the cars a mile from
the station.
Carpenter Was Killed.
Perry, o. T., June lO.-At Blackwell,
a few miles north of Tonkawa, +. II.
Crawford, a carpenter who was working
on a house, was struck by lightning dur
ing the storm and instantly killed.

TO END DRITISR-DOER WAR
STATEMENT BY Won BUEL0W.
Arbitration Court at The Hague As
Said to HIVE Taken Up the Matter
with Consent of Emperor william

/ Berlin. June 1.-THE Kelins Journal
prints dispatch from The Hague saying
that Queen Wilhelmna's recent visit here
was meant to obtain Emperor Williams
assistance to end the South African war,
both the zweibund and the dreibund be-
ing willing to do so through The Hague
arbitration court. and thatt he emperor
consented and the court began work there
on. The dispatch has created a sensation
here.
The Associated Press has just obtained
the following statement from the foreign
office. which is authorized by Count Won
Buelow, the imperial chancellor:
"Neither Great Britain, France nor Rus
STA approached Germany to participate IN
any action aiming at ending the South
African war. Germany has all along DIS
tinguished between Offering her good OIL
ces and intervention. To render her good
offices would be possible, if both parties
to the war requested it, but 1T Will be re-
membered that Great Britain only joined
The Hague conference on condition that
the Boer states were excluded. There Is
no doubt that Mr. Kruger, who Is a Sc
rious statesman, came to Europe to obtain
the good offices of several of the powers
to end the war, but there is also no doubt
that Great Britain does not want their
good offices.
AT least it is true that, since the
South African war began, Great Britain
has never, either verbally or in writing,
confidentially or officially, preached such
an idea. 1t is quite possible that the Boer
side has now formally asked The Hague
arbitration court to lend its aid to end
the war somehow, and that the court has
held a session regarding the matter, but
that, of course, is entirely different from
any serious steps to end the war"

"The President of such Commission shall receive a salary of $3,500 per an mum. and the Associate Commissioners shall each receive a salary of $3,000 per anrum; and they may employ clerk at a salary not exceeding $1,500 per annum, such salaries to be paid as the salaries of State officials are paid. All money paid out under the provisions of this chapter. including such sum as may be necessary to procure office fur niture and stationery. and to pay other office expenses, shall be paid on war rants drawn by the Auditor on the Treasurer; but such office expenses shall not exceed $500 per annum."
 This Section, it will be seen, pro- vides that Railroad Commissioners shall receive their salaries as other State officers and the Commissioners are absolutely independent of railroads and draw their salaries regularly and in the same manner as other State officials.
 Section 34S9 provides license tax against the railroads sufficient to meet the expenses of the Railroad Comm!s- sion, and this tax Is collected and paid into the State Treasury and no railroad can operate in Alabama without first paying this license tax. It follows therefore. that to require the State to bear this expense and relieve the rail- roads of this license tax would lay an unnecessary burden upon the people. It Is fact that the Railroad Commis. sioners are now at work revising the tariff of every railroad in Alabama, under the power given them in Sec tion S491 of the Code, and under this SectiCM all determinations and over charges can and will be adjusted"

"A JUDGES WIFE ,siSs SsIs s.9.an. %
She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope- Iess--Cured by
 Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1917 West ssrd st., Minneapolis, Minn., as follows:
 q suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It in- terfered often with my domestic and social duties and never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctors medi- cine did not seem to help me any.
 "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it. Although started in with little faith, felt so much better in week that I felt encouraged.
 "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now."-Minnie K. McAllister.
 The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to initiate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Pe- runa. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it cent cheaper.
 Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap limitations of Pe-

COMMISSIONS POWERS
THE PRESENT LAWS AS TO THE
 RAILROAD COMMISSION.
It is Asserted That It Has All the Power It Needs to Revise Rates, Etc, and That It is Inde- pendent of the Roads in
 Matter of Salary.

A we'll informed gentleman was talk ing to The Advertiser yesterday against the propriety of any change in the Railroad Commission law. He argued that the Commission had abundant power and that it was entirely inde- pendent of the roads in the matter of salary.
 There has been So much said of late as to the powers and duties of the Railroad Commission aud the manner of their payment said he, that it is not amiss at this time to inform the public upon these questions. Section 3491 of the code reads as follows:
 1t is the duty of the Railroad Com missioners to consider and carefully re- wise all tariffs of charges for trans portation made by any person or cor poration owning or operating rail- road in this State; and If. in their judgment any such charge Is more than just compensation for the service for which it is proposed to be made, or amounts to unjust discrimination against any person. locality or corpo- ration. they shall notify the party ma king the same of the changes neces- sary to reduce the rate to just com pensation. or to avoid unjust discrim- ination; and when such changes are
  CT and expedient. they shall append to the tariff of charges a certificate of their approval; and they shall exercise a watchful and careful supervision over all tariffs and their operation. and revise the same. from time to time. as justice to the public and the railroads may require and increase or reduce any of the rates as experience and busi- ness operations may show to be just; but in revising any tariff. the Com- missioners shall take in consideration the nature of the service to be per formed. the entire business of the rail road. and its, earnings from passenger and other traffic. and SO revise the same as to allow a fair and just return on the value of the railroad. it's ap- purtenances and equipments
 Under this section the Commission has the power. and 1t is their duty, to supervise, and reduce. or increase the freight and passenger tariff of any road in Alabama; and if the road charges more than the approved tariff it Is extortion. and the remedy Is plain and simple as follows:
 '1. A suit to recover the overcharge, for which a recovery of double the amount is provided, with a reasonable attorneys fee for bringing the suit:
 ''2. A criminal prosecution for extor- ton punished by a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $500. See Sec ton 5550. The power here given is ample and therefore no necessity now exists to increase 1t. Section S4s6 reads as follows:

Do You Know

Why Montgomery peo- pie should buy a beer made else where when it is a settled fact that the s'purest and best" is made right here at home?
 It is generally conced- ed to be good business policy to ep your money at home, to pat ronize those who help support the town, and to encourage home indus tries by home patronage. If our people patronize enterprises of other ci- ties, we shall have posr reason to complain if other cities prosper and Montgomery lags behind.
 In the matter of beer, there was never a purer or more wholesome arti- cle brewed than the pro- duct of this company. It costs no more than in- ferior brands, and, con- sequently, there is no possible reason why it should not be in every M o n t g o III cry home W h e re good beer is wanted.

SIGNAL FOR
DEATH.

Newburyport, Mass, May 5.-Ar-
thur z. Morrison, q years, died at
the hospital to-day under peculiarly
sad circumstances. Last evening he
called en- Miss Lydia Lisson, a young
lady, to whom he has been paying at
tentions for some time. Mr.. Morri.
son presented Miss Lisson ring and
thus sealed the engagement that had
previously tacitly been understood.
Then the couple talked plans for the
future, an early marriage being con-
templated, with trip East to visit
the relatives Of Miss Lisson.
While they were still talking Mr..
Morrison was stricken with paralysis
and physician was summoned. The
unfortunate man was taken to the
hospital in the ambulance and soon
after his arrival there became uncon-
scious. He failed rapidly and died to-
day.
