hIcImiin Heut.
At 9 o'clock last night the peace and
quiet of the town was broken t>y a
telephone that the little town of Chan-
dler had been visited by a cyclone.
The word spread like wild Are and in
a short time anxious friends and rela-
tives crowded Seaton's drug store and
the walk in front to learn something
of the storm. The storm struck the
town about (1 o'clock, but owing to the
telephone wires being down no news
was received until 9 o'clock. The
wires one and a half miles out of
Chandler was run into a farm house
and the news sent here. The anxious
friends and relatives sent many tele-
grains, but as the phone was so fur
from the scene of disaster many could
pot be found and nothing could be
learned of them. Mayor Farquharson
immediately set to work getting
aid to send to relieve the suf-
ferers, and by midnight Drs. ltuxton,
Williams and It. V. Smith, Cotteral
and liarker, had started for tl>e
scene with medicine aud necessaries
to relieve the injured. Among those
who left last night for the scene of
disaster were: L. U. Niblack, Ralph
Morrison, E. W. Hoyt, I). W. Ulam,
and John Waggoner, whose friends
and relatives were injured by the
storm, accompanied by Kd. Pentecost
It. II. Crawford and John liolobie.
Kurly this morning the following
persons left to lend aid to the sutlers:
Ur. Olive, Ford, Learned Ford, Kd.
Kinnan, VVc>. Furber, A. II. Houston,
Dr. Mayer and Frank Richmond.

provisions and other necessities this
morning. The committee was com-
posed of Mrs. F. K. Hrooke, Mrs. Cora
Grissell, Miss Until Sheldon, Mrs. Can-
dee. Miss Lillian L&ux and Mrs.

tressed.
The Uuthrie club held a citizens
meeting this morning and raised more

ed tents, clothing, grouories, etc., and

city.
1'ITb Static Capital sent out associ-
ate press reports of the storm lust
night, which appeared in every metro-
politan paper this morning, and all
day telegrams have poured in asking
about friends and relatives. Many of
the towns in the territory arranged to
send aid at once to Chandler. The
telegrams received were sent to Chan-
dler and many replies received. The
people of this city are much excited
and anxious, as many of the citizens
of Chandler lived in this city and
county before the Sac and Fox country
was opened to settlement. All the
teams that can be procured are being
dispatched as fast as possible with
provisions and other things necessary
for the comfort of the injured aud
homeless. All the tents, bedding,
etc., that can be procured will be hur
ried over as soon as possible.

Fifty Years Ago.
President Polk in the White House chair,
While in Lowell was Doctor Aycr;
Both were busy for human weal
One to govern and one to heal.
And, as a president's power of will
Sometimes depends on a liver-pill,
Mr. Polk took Ayer's Pills I trow
For his liver, £0 years ugo.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills
were designed to supply a
model purgative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines. Being
carefully prepared and their in-
gredients adjusted to tho exact
necessities of the bowels and
liver, their popularity was in-
stantaneous. That this popu-
larity has been maintained is
well marked in the medal
awarded these pills at the
V/orld's Fair 1893.
