MUSKOGEE, Okla. Oct. 22.-Cn.
confirmed reports were received here
that 80 or more lives were lost In a
cloudburst west of Shawnee. AS all
telegraph and telephone communica-
ton has been interrupted it is impos-
sible to verify the rumors.
A cloudburSt between McLoud and
Benson Park raised all the small
streams I'm that locality higher than
was ever known and washed out the
Rock Island tracks between those
points and destroyed much property
IN the lowlands and along the Cana
dian river.

HOW A MILLIONAIRE GIVES.

John A. Slecher, in Leslies Weekly.
 I sat in the late Mr. Armour's office, on La Sale street, Chicago, one chilly April day, listening to his intensely inter- esting and always original observations on the drift of the times He arose ab- ruptly, as was his manner when a new thought struck him, and took me to the little blackboard at the entrance to the office, and showed me the two little rows of figures indicating the enormous receipts of cattle and hogs at the stock yards for the day. A woman with a basket-a pale, wan, pathetic fgure-appeared in the doorway I was overlooked in an in- stant, while MT. Armour turned, in that delightfully."- encouragingly way he always had greeted the woman by name, took her gently by the hand, asked about her sick baby, slipped greenback into her basket, and sent her away smiling and happy. Nothing offhand about this, after all for when l ventured to suggest that promiscuous giving might encourage the begging evil, MT. Armour told me that no one was ever assisted by him without knowledge of all the circumstances of the case either by himself personally or through a trusted investigator. Method, system, and investigation, combined with hard work, must always bring success, and the measure of it will depend upon the ability of the guiding mind.

Bankers and Farmers to Pull Together

The meeting of representative bank CTS, farmers and business men at the instance of the Alabama Bankers asso- citation will no doubt be one that will enable many a producer to carry his cotton until he thinks the time to sell has come. The object of the meeting is to finance the crop of Alabama-in other words, to say what percentage of market values shall be loaned to farmers who hold warehouse receipts. In this meeting the Farmers union and the bankers will meet and at it will be determined a question of consider able importance to both.
 If the farmers and country mer- chants can secure 60 per cent of the market price from the Alabama banks a very considerable proportion of the state crop can be carried until owners are ready to sell. The crop of the state in the last cotton year was 1,171,000 bales, and the crop grown this year will be perhaps 1,40O,OO0 bales. If one- half of that aggregate be carried through the joint action of the Farm CTS union and the home banks great feat will have been accomplished Pos. sibly it would result in a saving to the state of $5 bale, or $3,5O0OOO. These figures are conservative, and they are wholly feasible and possible.
 It is to be hoped the meeting called by MT. Harding will be fully attended. Business of importance is to come be- fore it. and the best business intelli- gence in the state is needed in it. The producers have long been the victims of distant spectators and middlemen, and their best hopes are centered in an effort fostered by the warehouses of the Farmers union and the banks, not of Wall street, but of Alabama.
