Ur tne nsnrers, rncir presence OF mind
in every instance the city yet stands
with losses not exceeding $4,000, a
monument to providence only dis
pensed through heroic hands.
Stories are coming In Of how families
laid out on the barren prairie through
the freezing night, after the storm had
passed, with only the thin clothes OF
their backs as reminders of once pros
porous homes. Hundreds of people are
destitute and are suffering intensely In
the cold and with the excruciating pains
occasioned by their burns. Clothes,
medicine and physicians are being sent
out from all the cities and towns Of the
district to relieve the suffering The
storm and fire are monstrous calami-
ties, more than were at first reported.
They not only took the lives and prop
erty of the people, but they devas
tated their crops and left many ono
penniless and absolutely destitute.

LETTUCE PREVENTS SMALLPOX
A Small Quantity Morning and Even
ing FOFtiAes the system Against
the Disease.

Don't forget that lettuce Is proven.
tive of smallpox, says Medical Talk fol
the Home.
So far as 1t Is possible for human
being to be protected from catching
smallpox, lettuce is protection.
No need for vaccination whatever
Any person who eats a small quantity
Of lettuce twice day. morning and
evening, 10 as well protected against
smallpox as 1t Is possible for any one
to be.
To be sure, one ought to be clean,
ought to live in ventilated rooms. and
avoid dirt Of all sorts. Also avoid con.
tact with people that have smallpox,
Foolish exposure to the contagion OF
smallpox is not to be thought Of. But
there is no need for vaccination.
Go calmly on about your business
Provide q small quantity Of lettuce
morning and evening, and you can feel
sure that you have protected yourself
and your family in the best possible
way against smallpox.
Lettuce is one Of the Oldest vegetable
remedies known to the medical profes.
sion. Long before 1t was used as food
1t was used as medicine. Many times
It has been claimed that II has magical
or miraculous powers to prevent con.
tagious disease. We believe this "a
carrying matters altogether too far
But lettuce does furnish to the system
exactly what IL needed to protect II
against the poison Of smallpox.
We defy anyone to produce case Of
smallpox that has been contracted BY
any person who made daily use Of let.
tuce as a food. II there is any such
case on record, We would be glad 10
hear Of II.

between whites and blacks at Boko-

negroes shot, is In hospital here.
He says the negroes were Qydered out
of the camp and went. They returned
the day following armed and ready
to resist the attack. Seventeen Of
them were standing In group on the
depot platform, awaiting the arrival
of a train, when one Of the white men
shot at Jackson, who returned the
fire. Both men dropped dead. Both
whites and blacks then began shoot
ing. the latter scattering In all d.
rections and seeking places Of safety.
Their fight put stop to the conflict.
Price says many were wounded. The
negroes were employed on the Mid
land Valley railroad and their pres
ence was objected to by the white la
borers, who declined to work with
them. Everything is now quiet. but
there Is an undercurrent Of excite
ment in the vicinity. A party Of six
negroes, who took part In the riot.

Springfield, O., March 8.-Policeman
Charles Coils, who was fatally shot
Sunday morning by Richard Dixon, q
desperate negro. in the latter's rooms
in the Jones hotel, died at noon yes
terday. Coils had served for IL years
on the force and was regarded as one
Of the most reliable and efiicient men
In the police department. He had
gone to Dixon's room on the negros
request. Dixon said his mistress had
his clothes in her possession and had
got the consent of Jones, the colored
proprietor, to keep Dixon away. Col
lis accompanied Dixon to the room,
and In a short time the man and
woman engaged In quarrel, which
resulted in Dixon shooting the woman,
who Is variously known as Anna or
Mamie Gorbin, in the left breast Just
over the heart She fell unconscious
at the first shot, and Coils jumped to-
wards the negro to prevent bis escape
from the room. Dixon then fred four
balls into Coils, the last Of which
penetrated his abdomen. Dixon then
fed from the room, and as he started
to go down the stairs the dying police
man sent two bullets through the glass
door, neither Of which struck the
mark. Coils then staggered down the
stairs, and on reaching the street
emptied the remaining chambers Of
his gun at the flying negro. He was
not hit, however, and went imme-

gave himself up. He was taken to

Oklahoma City, Ok, March ga
special from Water states that W. r.
Meyer, who resided near there, was
victim Of the prairie fire Wednesday
night. He was overcome while fight
ing flames. This Is the third death re-
ported. Further reports Of property
loss by both fire and wind indicate that
the first estimate was too low. The
damage by wind extends over seven
counties In the southwest, and the to-
tai losses can as yet only be estimated,
but 1t is the general opinion that they
will reach 100000. Hastings, Olus-
tee, Leger, Walter, Granite, Elk City,
Cache, Temple, Snyder, Willow, Bloom
ington, Sayre and Mountain Park all
report damage both in town and sur
rounding country by wind. Injuries by
burns and broken limbs reach into the
scores. At Elk City three members OF
the family of M. Swatts were seriously
injured by the demolishing of their
home in the hurricane. The area from
which reports of damage by wind were
coming covers 100 miles square and
means of communication over the dis
trict are meager. This difficulty is in
creased by the fact that poles are
burned and wires blown down. A dis

A Prairie Fire Rushes Over South
western Oklahoma.
NAY PEOPLE RENDERED HOMELESS.
Several Lives Lost and Hundreds Of Cattle
and Horses Cremsted-The People Of
Lawton Turned Ont and Fought

Lawton, Ok, March 4.-Three thou
sand square miles of territory devas-
tated thousands of c,llars' worth OF
property destroyed, hundreds of peo-
pie rendered homeless. hundreds Of cat
tie and horses cremated, several lives
lost; these are some of the effects OF
the great combined storm OF wind
and sand and confiagrations which
ragged over the counties Of Kiowa and
Comanche in southwest Oklahoma
Wednesday. Approximate figures as
to the property loss in dollars cannot
at this early date be given for the
reason that the inland towns and vii
lagos, which were affected by the fire
and with which there is no telephone
or telegraph communication, have not
been heard from with any definite
ness.
Towns with which there is commu-
nication, that lie within a radius OF 90
miles to the north and northwest, re-
port large losses of property by botn
fire and wind At Hobart, the county

flagration of the prairie, approached
the city from the east, destroying the
stables and Is race horses, 10 resi-
dences, two business houses and va
rious small buildings, spreading to the
southwest. Seventy-fve Thousand
acres of government, military and tim
Der reserve and Indian school reserve
were ravaged, destroying several In
dian houses and 40 head of govern
ment cattle. Spreading westward, the
flames reached for miles Of the home
stead district, destroying houses and
barns and stock.
II was In this district that five per-
sons are reported to have persisted in
attempting to protect their property.
The names Of three have been learned
They are as follows: Dock Harmon,
his brother Jack and Fischer. The
other two were ladies and their names
have not yet been learned.
At ten O'Clock one Of the fiercest
wind and sand storms that ever visited

rushing in Its fury over the prairies

PRAIRIE FIRES IN KANSAS


Topeka, Kan, March 4.-Numerou'
J reports are coming In from Kansas
counties telling of heavy losses from
Wednesday nights prairie fire. In al
most every instance the fires were
caused by people burning stubble ant
pasture land. The high wind came un'
expectedly and the fires were beyond
control In a short time. Many mar
row escapes from death are reported
but as far as known only one person
Frank McGrew, of Bird City-was
burned to death. No estimate is made
of the aggregate damage, but 1t is very
high.
It took the most desperate efforts on
the part of Gypsum City people to pre-
vent the town from burning. Men,
women and children fought the fire for
four hours.
Great damage to farm buildings,
stock and grain is reported from Gull
yer, Lincoln, Colbert, Marquette, Ellis
worth, Kanopolis, Graham, Ellis, Rus
sell, Lakin, Hill City, Concordia and
other places.
At Deerfield, seven miles from Lakin,
the school children were kept in the
school building until after nine o'clock
at night, until all danger had passed.
At Hill City the people rushed to
the Solomon river to escape the fire.
No fatalities resulted.
In Lincoln county the fire cut a
swath two miles wide and ten miles
long. Similar reports are received from
other counties.
Most of the fires burned out during
the night.
Heavy Losses In Saline County County.
Salina, Kan, March Numerous
reports are coming in from Saline and
adjoining counties telling of heavy
losses by prairie fires Wednesday night
and yesterday. In almost every direc-
ton from this place big fires occurred.
In every instance SO far reported the
fires were due to persons burning stub
BILE and pasture land and when the I'M
expected high wind came late In the
afternoon the fires spread very rapid
ly and were beyond control in re-
markably short time.
The Prairie Fire Damage at Hin City.
Hill City, Kan, March 4.-The
prairie fire that swept across this city
did damage to the amount Of $4,000
or more. A large number Of people
sought refuge on the banks Of the
