Mayor Stevenson issued a procla-
nation this evening that all per-
sons be off the streets by 10 O clock
every night; the saloons shall close
at II o'clock and asking thecitizens
to take steps to clear their property
of debris as early as possible topre-
vent sickness in the city.
Scenes at the burial Of those who
pefished in the storm were ex-
tremely pathetic. The relatives
repaired to the dry goods store
where the morgue had been estab-
lished and identified remains of
their loved ones. Sometimes the
swollen, expressiouless face with
CLASSY eyes which stared vacantly
up from the dry goods shelf was
that of an aged mother, and when
her grown sons and daughter stood
by and sobbed as they gazed on the
distorted features of a face that for
a life time had been dearer to them
than all else, the sight was one
calculated to move the strongest
man to tears. More pitiful than
all, however, were the scenes en-
acted when some young couples
came 10 claim the remains of their
first born. Bodies of children
were placed on the upper shelves
and wrapped in sheets. When
the cloth was thrown back and
there was exposed to yiewthe little
face upon which in life both had so
often gazed with love and pride
and rope, cries Of anguish wrung
from aching hearts were more than
many could bear.
The floor. Of the morgue was

LAST WEEK
OF SCHOOL
SUP'T STALEY WRITES ALETTER OF
INTEREST TO THE PATRONS
OF THE SCHOOL
THE SCHOOL CLOSES FRIDAY
Exhibition Of Drawing and Written
work in all Room ..

After eight months Of uninter-
rupted work the end begins to-day.
Your teachers, called tin soldiers
by a knowing one before school
opened, have lined up like veterans
and am pleased to say and feel
that they have fought well. Some
mistakes may have been made,
since error is the common fate Of
man. For nine months have
studied the conditions i'll and
around the school. We made up
our minds as to what could be done
during the school year now end
ing. It is folly to attempt work
beyond ones equipment. We
have aimed at possibilities only.
All that we felt could be done has
been done, thanks to the teachers.
l do not now think that any thing
more could have been accomplished.
Chickasha is a young giant 1t
takes time to organize and estab-
lish a perfect school. The city
had a good school year ago, it
has better one to-day. We
found the children lacking in
scholarship. -nobody's fault, simply
This weakness has been corrected.
All the intermediate and Grammar
grades have given double time to
arithmetic for the past month.
The benefit is at every point evi-
dent. There is still a weakness
in some lines Of work. With
proper adjustment al this can be
worked out next year 1t il not
the part Of wisdom to overlook or
hide defect that can be remedied,
The schools Of Chickasha are good,
if not the best, in the territory,
yet improvement should always be
our aim
.

REDUCTION WILL
 BENEFIT SUBURBS
REDUCED PRICE OF ELECTRICITY MEANS MUCH-APPLlEST TO ALL THE TOWNS SURROUNDING BIR- MINGHAM.

It was announced yesterday that the reduction in the price of electricity by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will apply in East Lake, Woodlawn West End, Ensey, Avondale, Pratt City and Wylam, and also to peo- pie using the company's current outside the corporate limits of the cities.
 This reduction amounts to 25 per cent for incandescent lights and similar light ing. The price before July 1,when the re- duction was made, was 16 cents per kilo- wat, and the price at present is only 12 cents per kilowat.
 The municipalities will also receive the benefit of the reduction made in the cost of arc lights which goes into effect in Birmingham August 1. This reduction is from $50 per arc light per annum to $75 per annum.
 The company has been asked a number of questions regarding these reductions by people living in the suburbs of Birming- nam. One official stated yesterday that the cheaper rate would naturally apply to the suburbs as well as Birmingham, as the company tried to treat all its custom CTS alike.

The Crew.

From Life
 When the great ship had punged be- meath the waves our hero found him self in lifeboat with seven of the crew.
 Now, men, he cried. "let us lose no time in rigging a sail and heading away from those breakers yonder.'
 Not hand was moved.
 Come" said he to the nearest man, 'srig up some tackle there"
 q don't know how" replied the man; I'm the barber"
 "Wer, then, you with the mus tache."
 q am vairy sorree, but I am zee pastry chef"
 Next man, then"
 What der know about sailin"? I'm der barkeep."
 Our hero turned toward the bow.
 "You three sitting together, why don't you get to work?"
 s'Ve will play musick as you wish, but vc know nothing aloud der sails. '
 On the cap of the one man left our hero saw the word Seaman"
 "Ah! you at least" he exclaimed, "can direct us how to erect a sail.
 Guess again, young fellow" came the sad reply; me only job was to wash the decks"
 Despair settled on the boat-load, but once more our hero was equal to the emergency. Attaching some line to New York life preserver he threw IL overheard as an anchor.
 .hus firmly moored, the boat rode out the storm in safety.
