Exactly burned out, and have no THIRTY-SEVEN PEOPLE KLILED JCP ErCr JzLi KMcnpiiif Gas. For several days the cellars, wells and ground in the vicinity of gas gell No. 2, in the rear of the Journal building, have been giving evidence of escaping gas. The water in the wells and excavations bubbled constantly and if a match were applied a blaze would show up. This was considered dangerous, for should the gas penetrate the walls of the basments (and this was entirely probable) a lighted match might cause an explosion which would distroy an entire block.

The mayor called a special session of the council and a resolution was passdd ordering the Gas Company to remedy the condition which was caused by a bad casing. Wednesday all the wells in town were turned off except No. 2 and it alone furnished the necessary supply of gas. This stopped the escape of the gas for a time, and the well throwing water 50 feet high was a new sight to many people. The trouble will be remedied by putting in new casing.

L. LANDON, PAINLESS DENTIST examine these bargains Call and at the And Twenty-five Injured Miss Anna Heddens one of the Victims. Norman, April 26- Later reports of the cyclone which visited this section last night increase the number of deaths to 37 and the injured to 25. At the O'Connor farm, eight miles northwest of this city, eleven persens out of the thirteen who were in the house were killed, among the number being Miss Anna Heddens, who was teaching the district school and boarding with the amiliy There were two of the cyclones an hour apart, one passing east and the other west of this city. The first one killed four people and destroyed some dwellings and two school houses.

The second one was the worst and besides thoss killed and injured there are 125 people left destitute. Thirty-eight homes were destroyed. One woman escaped with her two children by wading into a pond up to her neck. Her house was swept away. Several bodies were carried for miles.

The tracks of the storm furnish a scene that is "beyond description." The house of J. C. O'Connor near Moore was destroyod and O'Connor and his wife and three children and five neighbors who had sought safety in the building supposing it to be tornado proof, were crushed to death. The frame house of John Banks was torn to pieces and he was killed, while the others of his family of six were badly hurt, three of the children fatally. The home cf Henry Dyer was demolished; but his sick wife, and little one were picked np by the wind and deposited without even a jolt an a pile of bed.

clothing. The tornado swept southwest carrying everything before it, but scores of persons managed to save themselves by fleeing to their cellars. At Downs twenty or more people were hurt but none killed so far as known. In Pottawatomie county thousands of dollars of damage was done and a number of people badly injured. West of Norman eight houses were completely demolished and five or six persons badly injured.

East sf Norman one man was carried 100 yards and thrown into a creek and his neck was broken. Still further east three other people, a man and two women, were reported killed. All the people in Norman have gone to the assistance of the injured. Shoe and Clothing House, in Masonic Block, Coffeyville, Kan. J.

K. Greenamyer, Proprietor. Around the Pacific A visit to the section of the city devoted to the Mo. Pacific interests revealed to the scribe a busy scene. The mill foundation has been completed, and with a few minor defects, is a fair piece of work.

The south wall of the foundation is smeared with mortar, and presents an unsightly appearance, while the cap rock over one opening looks like it was not tied strong enough, but the north side and east end show good work. We understand that the work has been, accepted, Mr. Brewster claiming four days inside of his eontract. The side tracks for the mill are being laid and the railroad gang is also iraking a fill for other tracks on the north side. Mr.

Morgan has a force of stone cutters at work on the mill site, getting stone in shape for laying, but the construction is delayed by reason of the lumber not arriving. The contract calls for the construction of the building withtn 45 days from the time the foundation is turned over to Morgan. Engineer Brown, In charge of a corps of men, is surveying the ground belonging to the Mo. Pacific, established lines, etc. The stakes for the new depot have not been set and it will be some days before this occurs, as the plans have not been definitely decided on.

When the mill gets to running, and the railroad improvements are made, that part of town will present a lively appearance. It seems good to see so many men at work. liniM" mill ii Having succeeded Ferguson Lemon in control of the Coffey ville Roller Mills, we desire to sav thot the same courteous treat-inent will be accorded the patrons as of yore and no efforts will be spared to please our customers.

P- ra-same dav T. B. Fogg, Ticket Ag't. We wonder if our inend Dick Neville, of the Claerryvale Plaindcaler, hasn't decided that in politics all men are apt to be liars, even a deacon and a pillar of the church. Dick, religion is all right when it is administered at the proper time and in the proper way, but simply because a man uses his pretended piety to cover some of his small grasping schemes, is no reason why you should swallow everything he promises.

We've been there and from sad experience feel that the fellow who don wear such a long face and appears so shocked when a neighbor gets vexed and says "darn it," is just about as worthy of confidence as the man who carries the responsibility of a church on his shoulders and talks like the town would go to perdition if it were not for his saving, -piety while he is scheming all the time to legally rob some poor man out of his property by foreclosing a "steen" per cent, loan at a time he knows his victim can't help himself. Charity covers a multitude of sins but such hypocrites never indulge in any real charity. Whenever they give a dollar away they get on a housetop and tell all the world how great they are for doing it. This does not imply that we are "agjn'' religion, tn.tt is a a little fry a Jjyppcrjee. Jio yuil knuw who we ftieai? It costs but a mere trifle to insure cyclones with C.
