over one hundred persons lost their
lives either outright or later died in
hospitals. There is not a building left
in the city that is not more or less dam
aged and over seven -etghths of the
buildings are a total loss.
The storm, a regular cyclone of the
twister variety, swept over the unsus-
peeting people just after dark with its
deadly devastating effect. There is not
a building left standing on the north
side of the track west Of the postohice.
The Frisco roundhouse, two gins, the
compress three hotels. and ali adjacent
buildings were totally wrecked by the
storm.
Relief trains run in the devastated
city from Hobart and Quanah and the
injured are now receiving the best of
attention. Doctors Holland. York,
Gotcher. Lloyd and Lowell went down
from Hobart and have been Iaboring in
cessantly to relieve the injured which
number in the hundreds.

Came From Southwest.
The storm came from a southwesterly
direction and covered a width of about
a half mile totally demolishing every
thing in it's wake for ten miles south
west and three miles northeast of Sny-
der. Whole families were wiped out.
The Fessendens lost seven in their fam
ny. W II. Hibbard, superintendent of
the schools, was killed, also his wife,
three children and father and mother
who were there on a visit. One boy
only in the Hibbard family escaped
with slight injuries. Three babies in
the Crook family. the entire offspring,
were killed. the Oldest being three years.
The infant three months old was blown
from its mothers arms and its brains
smashed out against a brick wall.

Colonel Williamson. When the storm
struck Snyder. williamson grabbed a

and hurried away to a place of safety
when out of danger he discovered that
the woman was not his wife. Later
his wife was brought to the temporary

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July 1O.-(Specian-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid.
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. L. Dawson of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
Il have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
| was also bothered with Lame Back
and | can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since | took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full If it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

EVIL IN LACK OF MODEsTY.
"SwolIen Head" Invariably Forerunner

A young man, inheriting vast for
