A Shortage Of Fifteen Thousand Barrels
Expected this Week

Chicago, May Io-Shortage in
delivery of flour to groceries and
bakeries was threatened by the
spread of the teamsters strike to-
day. The latest recruits are the
drivers of the Wenig Teaming
Company, large concern chiefly
engaged in delivering -four for
milling companies. All of the
men quit work when one of them
was discharged for refusing to de-
liver to boycotted department
stores. A direct result of the
strike will be shortage of $4,000
barrels of -four a week, according
to Georage X. Wenig.
Among those for whom the firm
has delivered -four are the North
western Consolidated Milling Com
pany, the Washburn. Crosby Com
pany, the Star the Crecent Milling
Company, Wells, Stone and Com
peny, Donaldson and Company.
Unless we can get the Employ
ers' Assoc:dtion to help us out the
strike mans an immediate shortage
in the -four supply, " said Mr. Wenig.
IF the strike continues there will
be a -four famine. expect to ap-

"The swath cut by the tornad

The swath cut by the tornado
is only about 200 yards wide and
it extends clear through the west
end OF the town, only block or
two from the business district.
Only one or two business buildings
were damaged, among them being
the opera house which was unroof-
ed.
Where the tornado struck the
river bank it cut off the trees at the
ground leaving clear path.
Five physicians got aboard my
train at Salina this morning and
they were the first to arrive from
the outside. There was need for
them, for the physicians of Mar
quette had more than they could
take care of.
Gong north last night noticed
there were two layers of clouds
and it was raining a little when
we passed through Marquette, but
of course nobody had any idea that
there was a cyclone in the air, al
though the sky looked threatening.
The people of the town had no
warning OF any kind and it caught
most of them sound asleep 1t is
an awful calamity and the little
place is sorrow stricken today. All
is confusion and men, women and
children are walking about looking
for lost relatives, binding up the
wounds of the injured aud seeking
the bodies of the dead

Another Meeting Thursday.

Upon invitation of the CONNER
cial Club a number of the mer-
chants of the city met at A. O. u.
W. Hall yesterday afternoon to
discuss matters pertaining to the

Nearly every line of business was

conducted independent Of the COM
mercial club and are designed to
look after commercial interests
within the city. A motion was
carried that such an organization
BE- formed in Chickasba for the
general betterment of Chickasha
business interests. A committee
consisting of one preventative
from each line Of business was ap
pointed to wait on the merchants
and invite them to become members
Of the association. Another meet
ing will be held at the commercial
club rooms next Tuesday evening
at 6:3o at which time organization
will be effected.

TOGO WILL BE VICTORIOUS.
Dewey Did Not Say Russia Has the
Best Chance

Washington, May o-Admiral
Dewey declares he never said that
in his opinion the Russians were
going to whip the japanese in the
naval engagement that is soon ex-
pected. AS matter of fact, the
admiraPs private opinion, as
gathered from his associates, is
quite TO the contrary, and that
Admiral Togo is pretty sure to
smash Rojestvensky whenever the
Russian commander gets near
enough to Japanese bases to
warrant an attack in force. But
Admiral Dewey, mindful of the
pror ,eties of the situation, has
been careful not to express an
opinion of the result of the coming
battle for publication. He is not
50 backward among his. friends,
but his friends have no right to
quote him one way or another.
The notion that Admiral Dewey
pinned his faith TO the Russians
grew out of his we'll known advo-
cacy OF battleships as the chief and
most effective part Of a lighting
navy. As the statement was sent
broadcast Admiral Dewey was
represented as believing the Rus
slams would win on account of
their superiority in battleships.
That would indeed, be in line with
his theory as to the relative value
of that sort of fghing craft. But
the admiral, in discussing the
outlook with his friends, always
has been careful to put in the
qualification that, other things
being equal or Approximately
equal, superiority in battleships
should give victory
In the present case this is dis.
tinction with very wide difference
Other things are not equal Nc
one knows better than George
Dewey the enormous value OF
superior personnel, gunnery and
seamanship. Admiral Dewey is
not violating naval etiquette by
by rushing into print with his op.
inions as to the outcome of the
coming naval battles. But priv
ately his opinion comedies witt
that of ninety-nine out of humid
rec American naval officers, to-wit
That all the chances are in Togo:
favor.

A GRAPHIC
DESCRIPTION
OF THE KANSAS TORNADO TOLD BY
A MISSOURI PACIFIC CONDUCTOR
MANY LIVES LOST.
DESTRUCTION WAS FRIGHTFUL
Fiost Disastrous Tornado in the History
Of Central Kansas.

The tornado which visited Mar
quette, Mcpherson county, Kan
sas, Monday night, was the most
destructive storm in the history Of
central Kansas. Destruction to
life and property was appalling.
The list of dead numbers at least
twenty-four9 were injured over
thirty FIVE. One entire section of
the town was wiped out and the
surrounding country also suffered
great loss.
The STORM came on at midnight
when most of the inhabitants of
the town were asleep A most
graphic story of it was told by
Conductor Hayder of the Missouri
Pacific to a Wichita Beacon
reporter:
1t was an awful sight, said
Conductor Hayden X have seen
the wreckage of number of eye
lones in this section, but none to
compare with this. The section
swept by the tornado is absolutely
devoid of debris. HOUSES were
not only crushed by the force OF
t1e wind, but swept clean off the
face of the earth, not even a board
remaining to mark the spot where
they stood.
Boards are scattered far and
far and wide. some of them miles
from town. The path of the tor
nado, is clear, just as if a monster
scythe had moved down everything
and carrie way its reapings, slick
and clean.
II witnessed some awful sights
there in the few minutes that the
train was at Marquette, continued
Conductor Hayden.
When l left this morning twenty
two bodies had been found and the
number of injured was at least
seventy-fve.
Poor old man Swisher, oul
watchman, found his three young
daughters dead in the wreckage
this morning. His wife died sud
denly only a year ago and he hac
three bright daughters, aged IS
rs and about I2r The eldest was

BIRDS THAT ARE MISSED
The Most Difficult Shot in the Opinion
Of Sportsmen


From the Badminton Magazine
1t Is a fact that the crack sometimes
misses, and the object OF this article Is %
snow by consensus of expert opinion what
shots they are which puzzle the men or
absolutely first rank. Appended are quo
tations from some OF the views which have
been expressed by such authorities at more
o. less length.
Lord Walsingham writes: ''The most dr.
hcuit shot / know is a bird which comes
straight over your head at moderate
height. and which, for some reason. such
as an empty gun or thick wood close
In front, cannot be shot when approaching
GU must then turn round and shoot under
the bird as II Is going away If Won LET II
go far 1t becomes almost impossible and
IL you are ever so quick with second gun
OF otherWise you have to calculate how
FAR to hold below the bird that 1T may
fly into the charge, the object being to nut
the shot under the neck feathers and not
through the tail-a calculation which is ex-
tremely difficult TO make instantaneousIy
II comes off all right when you know how
TO do it. but have seen very few men who
could kill such a bird with any degree OF
certainty OF course. If the bird is the
least on one side or the other the shot be-
comes comparatively easy"
Earl de Grey thinks that high pheasant
coming down wind with drop and curl
is the bird that there Is most excuse for
missing apd that Is oftenest missed
The Manquis of CRANKY concludes a full
expression of his views: ION the whole.
however, 1t has always seemed to me that
a genuinely tall pheasant when sailing
with perfectly motionless wings especially
when curling and possibly almost fmper-
ceptibly dropping In its flight as well. is by
far the most difficult bird to KILL"
Prince Victor Duleep Singh agrees with
the majority, and says: TO my mind the
most difficult shot is high dropping pheas-
ant with a wind behind. coming over high
trees and over tho guns veaeed In a mar
row cutting or valley. This makes it ina
perative to take a snapshot at the bird
and as its wings are practically motionless
one has visible sign of its speed. I'm
afraid / express myself very badly, but
could show you what ! mean for instance
at the beech tree rise at HighcIere.'
Lord Asffburton writes: II think the
most difficult shot you can have Is pleas
ant, when about thirty-ffve or forty yards
away, crossing you and dropping from some
height, with his Cor herb wings motionless.
You have, OF course, two different allow
