property was the result of four lorna

of one family residing east of Van
Vert sustained broken limbs. Three
sons of j. H. Williams, farmer resid-
ing northwest of Weldon, are reported.

Vert and Weldon. The injured people
were members of farmers families.
Two houses are reported blown to-
pieces. In one of these Louise and
Hazel Williams were pinioned in the,
wrecked building and were hurt by
flying timbers. They will probably
die.
Two women and child named
O'Hara were hurt in a similar manner
in another house short distance from
the Williams house. From Weldon the
storm continued in a northeasterly di-
rection and struck WOODBURY. where
five houses were blown down or off
their foundations.
Six were injured, one fatally, in a
cyclone that struck near Lohrville.
The residence of a farmer, j. w. Mum
irini, was in the path of the storm at

four children sustained serious in
juries. The mothers skull was frac-
tured and she will die.
The house and outbuildings were
completely demolished A school
house was torn to pieces and other
buildings in the neighborhood were
wrecked. The cyclone was followed
by terrific hailstorm that broke win
dows in many houses.
The fourth cyclone thus far known
to have taken place within an hour in
as many different sections of the state
struck near Hite.aan. wrecking several
farm houses and killing 20 cattle The
course of the funnel-shaped cloud and
the ruin il caused were witnessed by

TORTURE MACHINES.

Curious Instruments That Were
Used In the Middle Ages.
In an old tower in Nuremburg there
Is a room set apart especially for the
preservation of the curious instruments
of torture used during the uncertain
period historically referred to as the
middle ages.
In that room you can see thumb
screws of the most approved pattern
closely arranged along shelves filled
with "liar helmets" and "bridles" for
gossiping women. One horrid relic,
called the spike Wheel is heavy
cylinder, on one side of which stand
out two or more score of sharp iron
spikes. In days of old when an Of
fender had been sentenced to undergo
a rolling" he was stripped naked and
firmly bound on plank, face down.
In this position the spike Wheel was
slowly dragged up and down his back,
the number of times depending upon
the gravity of the crime and the word
ing of the sentence.
In several instances the poor victims
were prodded so full of holes that they
died before they could be removed from
the plank. When death was intended,
the number of rolls" was not speci-
fed, but double length spikes, heated
redhot, were put in the surface Of the
cylinder. This mode of carrying out
capital punishment was hardly as ex-
peditious~a as the guilotine, but it was
equally as certain.

Queer Medicine.

At the Shanghai police court recent
ly a curious object was handed up to
the bench for inspection. 1t was con-
tanned in a square yellow box and re-
sembled nothing more than a piece of
black wax. 1t weighed about two
ounces, and the policeman in charge Of
the case explained to the court that it
was Chinese medicine compound Of
monkeys toe nails boiled down and
hardened by being buried underground
for number of years. 1t had been
stolen from native apothecary's shop
in Marking road. Monkeys toe nails,
it appears, are well known remedy

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, MontD
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after Cor tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat. gave him a very severe
 diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm possible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain'S Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony,
 and in few minutes the dose was .e- peated The good effect of the medi- cine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure,
 and he cannot help but feel grateful
