THE BIGGEST LINE OF SPRING AND SUMMER CLOTH- y
i INu IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY. WE CAN FIT YOU.

Funnel-Shaied Cloud Etc. Vis-
its Ninnekah Yesterday.
Two Houses Were Blown Away
A Woman's Teeth Knocked Out
the Only Damage to Unman
Life Details of the Ter-
rible Storm.
Last evening the people of Chick
asha were regaled with reports of
a terrible cyclone which passed
over Ninnekah a little town eight
miles bel'jw us on the Ko -k Island
road which was eai4 to have
wiped the entire vilUe out of
ezietanoe killing a whule family
of seven people and injuring a
great many other?.
These reports gathered strength
89 they sped from mouth to mouth .
The most absurd stores gained
credence and no one knew what to
believe. This morning the Daily
Express office was beseiged with
telephone messages asking for
news of the cyclone and iuforum-
tion as to the number and names
of the perdODS killed and injured.
At 9 o'clock this morning a tele-
phone message from Air. Bob
Thompson of Ninnekah set at
rest these rumors. An Express
reporter called him up and talked
with him regarding the event and
learned that while there bad been
a genuine cyclone iudeed and
truth the damage to life and
property had been greatly over-
estimated. The storm began near the liouie
of W. J. Hoover one and one-half
miles northwest of the section bouse
at Sidney No. 2. It Boon fashioned
itself into the shape of the regular
'funnel-ihaped elond'' whirling
and twirling and gathering into its
oortez everything in its path. It
swept away Mr. Hoover's house
and contents as if constructed of
so much straw. Ko one was hurt.
It then proceeded northeast across
the railroad track and struck the
house of L- L. Nturtev&nt. Every-
thing he had was blown away
simply swept to the winds. Hie
bouse was a neat little four room
frame with shed room attached
nd a gallery extending around
two sides. The bouse was laterally
torn to atoms everything in it
was scattered to the four winds of
heaven. In the Louse at the time
were his wife sister-in-law brother
in-law and nephew. His sister-in-law.
Miss Emma Moots lost two
teeth but suffered no further in-
jury. It is difficult to describe the
damage he suffered. The house
was scattered over a quarter sec
tion. His piano was literally
blown to pleees. A hob was
blown clean out of his baggy
leaving spokes and every thing
else. If he undertook to gather
his property together it would re-
quire several men a number of
days to locate it all.
The cyclone passed one and one-
half miles east of Ninnekah and did
not damage the town property at
all. It did damage the poles of
the Bell Telephone and Western
Union companies however and
swept a path six poles wide across
each of them. A pair of scissors
was found driven in a peach tree
so tight that tbey could scarcely
be pulled oat. Other incidents of
the storm as strange as these could
be related.
of many years experience in insti-
tutions of high rank. Rev. Orogan
is well known in this section as a
preacher and teacher of much
ability. The gentlemen's enter-
prise will receive the hearty favor
of all interested in the educational
progress of Chickasha.
TO DRIVE OCT CATTLE.
District Revenue Collector Kelsey
Gets Orders to Move Herds
at Duncan.
District Revenue Collector J. P.
Kelsey Sunday afternoon received
orders to proceed to Dancan
where he would bejoined by twelve
members of the Indian Police De-
partment and drive nut six large
herds of non -citizen cattle the
owners of which hod been served
with the customary ten days notioe
to pay the tribal tax or have their
cattle driven out. Mr. Eelsey at
onoe proceeded to Don on accord
ing to instructions and the cattle
are probably well out of the coun-
try by this time.
The owners of these herds Mr.
Kelsey Bays bad not only been
served with the ten day's notioe
but this as well and the Interior
department is tired of fooling.
The tax is due and should have
been paid. It will do the owners
no good to offer to pay the tax
when he gats there as they have
been given too ranch notice already
To show them the government
means business the cattle goes oat
anyhow. And there you are.

commercial and normal school left

men have decided that the pros-
pects for such an institution are
most excellent and will begin

early a date an possible. The

WATER PROPOSITION.
Councilman Dawson Gives Some
Reasons Why the Bond Issue
Should Carry.
''It is a conditifn not a theory
that confronts us." W hen the pres-
ent administration assumed con-
trol of the affairs of the city it
found a deficit of in round num-
bers about 120000. Script was
bard to sell at 50 cents on the dol-
lar. In fact the city was issuing
two dollars of script for every oce
it owed. The resources bad prov-
en to be entirely too small to meet
even the current demands. It
was evident to the outgoing ad-
miaistration as well as to the in
coming one that something must
be done.
The city is without fire protec
tion. We are at the mercy of the
flames all frame buildings in fire
district may be swept away by
fire any day. The sanitary condi-
tion of the city is to put the mild
est construction on it bad. When
you think of the number of cases
of typoid fever alone and deaths
tnererrom you can draw- some
idea of the lose which might be
saved by proper sewerage.
it has been said that to vote the
bonds would make our taxes higher.
If I am correct! informed we
have levied 2 per cent which is
the limit fixed by law. So there
is no way to incre;e your taxes
unless you inoresie your amount
or the value of your property.
There is no difference in paying
tax on one dollar or a thousand
provided yon are assessed prop-
erly. It would be a bad advertisement
to the world to "turn down'' the
bonds. We would be living after
that under a precedent which no
other town containing a half
dozen enterprising men would fol-
low. Indeed we would be held
up in derision to conjure others
with.
The first benefit we will derive
after the bond issue is granted will
be an influx of new people looking
for investments in this fertile val-
ley. The next will be work for
all of our home people who want
work. Most of the money which
will be spent for labor will be
given to oar own citizens. Just
as soon as the work ia completed
the city will Lave its own water
for Sre protection free and a rev-
enue will begin to accumulate in
the city treasury. At once any
thoughtful man can see the wis-
dom ot this The revenue will be
more than sufficient to pay 3 per
oent on the investment and great-
ly add to the sinking fund which
will be required to pay off these
bonds in 30 years. What more
my fellow citizens; should wsask
for than the granting of this bond
issue. Let every property owner
vote for the bouds let every
mother's son of us put our shoul-
der to the wheel having "Greater
Chiokasha' for eur notto and roll
her on to a prosperity which will
make her sister cities envious re-
membering "the gods help those
.who help themselves."
E. L. Dawson.
