Oklahoma City. Okla.. April 30.
With Llghtnlni? creek out of its
banks and th - Canadian river rising
steadily, the people In the lowlands
of Capitol Hill a suburb of Oklaho-
ma Cltv, are tonight facing a situa-
tion that will become critical If the
heavy rains of the last twenty-four
hours continue.
The lowlands have been converted
Into a veritable swamp, crops have
been ruined and much atock drown-
ed. No human lives have been lost
so far as can be established tonight.
Residents of the bottoms were forced
to leave their homes Sunday night
and several persons were kept In
trees alj night. One house floated
down the Canadian with a family in-
side. The occupants were rescued.
The damage will amount to thou-
sands of dollars.
Four Inches of Rain.
Four Inches of rain, accompanied
by heavy hall and high winds, fell
throughout southwestern Oklahoma
and the Texas Panhandle early to-
day. Telephone and telegraph wires
are down and communication with
many towns is cut off. The rain will
be of great benefit to the cotton crop.
The wind damaged several houses In
Walter and Mangum.
In Tulsa. I. T., tonight the tempe-
rature is below 4". Three inches of
rain fell there today and it is rain-
ing again tonight.
The Cloudburst.
A cloud burs* over Capitol Hill, a
suburb of Oklahoma City, Just south
of the Canadian river, last night
flooded that place. Seven persons
are missing and reported drowned.
Many persons camped on the low-
lands near the river were caught un-
awares and had but little time to
make their escape. The river is bank
full, and It will be some time before
It can be determined If any lives will
be really lost.
There was another heavy rainfall
this morning which caused the rise
here, endangering property in the
lowlands.
About three thousand people .ive
In Capitol Hill, which lies south of
the Canadian river, opposite the city
The Hill is drained Into a small
stream called Lightning Creek, which
enters the river Just below Oklahoma
City. The water came down tne
creek and covered the low lands In
auch volume as to catch people liv-
ing in tents, shanties and anaall
houses on the low ground.
Oklahoma City proper is not at an
endangered.

On thla particular occasion a pack

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED
TRY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured tho Dlseeeo la
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advenced Stages.
RhenmatUm is a painful inflamma-
tion of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and w sometimes accom-4
pamed bv swelling. The pain is sha«
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in oue joint or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous teud. noy of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for a time but the disease cannot be
cured nntil the blood is puiifind. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for tliia purpose as their action ia
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood ia
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Ooff
St., Anburn, Me., says: "I had be««
sic* for fifteen years from impure blood.
brought on by overwork. My heart waa
weak and my hands colorless. I waa
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few month*.
I had no appetite aud used to liave awful
fainting spells, falling down when al
my work. I frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached coutinuoualy to*
five years.
"About two years ago I began to feel
rheumatism in my Joints, which became
bo lame I could hardly walk. My joint*
were swollen and pained me terribly.
"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were rec-
ommended to me bv a friend, after I had
failed to get well from the doctor'a
treatment. When I began taking the
pills, the rheumatism was at ita worst.
I had taken only a f'wr boxes, when th*
headaches stopped and not long after-
ward I felt the pain in mjr jointa be-
coming less and less, until there waa
none at all. The stiffness was gone and
I have never had any return of the rheu-
matism."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills hare cured
such diseases as nervous aud general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and even partial paralysia and
locomotor ataxia. As a tonio for th*
blood and nerves they are unequalled.

HEALTH OF WOMEN
MRS. C.E.FINK
In this nineteenth century to keep
up with the march of progress every
power of woman is strained to Ita
utmost, and the tax upon her physi-
cal system is far greater thau ever.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmother* few drugs were
lined in medicines. They relied upon
rooLS rod herbs to cure weaknesses
ami disease, and their knowledge of
rtx>ts and herbs waa far greater
than that of women today.
It was In this study of roota and
herbe that Lydia K. Pinkham, of
Lynn, Mass , discovered and gave
to the women of the world a remedy
more potent and efficaciooe than
.... „. any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
la an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value.
This medicine made front native roots and herbs contains no niaruutiee
or other harmful drugs and today holds the record for the largest number
of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever
known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file In the
laboratory at Lvnn, Mass., which testify to ita wonderful value.
Mrs. C. B. Fink, of < arnegie. Pa., writes:—Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I
wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and write to you for advice. It has done me a world of good
and what it has accomplished for me I know it will do for others.
When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacement*, Ulcer-
ation, Inflammation, Rackache, Nervous Prostration, they should re-
member them is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vege-
table Compound.
