Thk Town Council of McLoud has been advis-
ed by n number to raise the saloon license from its
present figure to at least tiye hundred dollars pc
annum. The indications are that the idea is being
favorably considered. The Standard will endoi>e
Such action. Il believes the corporation of McLoud
would not only realize a more just revenue from the
liquor traffic, than at present; but the saloons operat-
ing under the higher license—no doubt less in num-
ber—would each do a better business financially and
run nearer the line as described by law. There is
no question, we he I i ve, in the minds of fair minded
Entered at the postoffice at McLoud Oklahoma citizens, that eeleouieb in any town where competi-
Ty., for transmission by mail as second class ‘'on is so great, are compelled to resort to many
matter things which the better class of saloonkeepers them-
selyes do not like. We understand tliis raise, if
made by the Council, is not intended to make McLoud
=- a dry town; it is merely a business move. It is in-
i’n force ^ tended by the new Board to realize on every available
asset, that sufficient money may be raised for the
improvement of the town. They claim McLoud can
be made to increase four or five times its present
size and to the advantage of all concerned,if the right

TORNADO TAKES TOWN
Continued f row first page
Six of the eight hotels were torn
to pieces, burying many in the
wreckage. North of the railroad
track, where many cottages stood,
one is left and the wreckage is
mostly carried away. In a few
moments it was all over and the
air was filled with the shrieks of
ihe injured, mingled with the cries
of those who had escaped and were
'coking lost ones. W ithiu a short
time messengers were despatched
to mountain Park, where the news
was sent by telephone to Hobart.
Physicians and nurses were called
for and relief trains were made up
.it Mangum, Hobart, Chickasha
and Lawton and hurried to the
'■ one by the Frisco. Meanwhile
tip. uldebodied survivors in Snyder
were working heroically all through
night amid the mud heartrending
seel es. A building was used as a
temporary hospital and another
used as a morgue. The latter, a
drygoods building presented a
gruesome appearance when day
dawned with the corpses lying tier
above tier on the shelves. The
iceh for bodies coat rimed during
the day and at six o’clock, eighty
had been recovered. Others are
being searched for, which with the
easuahties reported rroin the coun-
try, will probably raise tin death
li't to one hundred Several of
tlie injured "ill be added to the
list of fatalities.

THOUGHT HE WAS WATCHING
Why Farmer Didn’t Want Waiter
Behind His Chair.
Boldt, the proprietor of the Waldorf-
Astoria, in New York, and of the
Bellevue, in Philadelphia, began life
very humbly as a waiter.
Mr. Boldt described the other day
his first experience at waiting.
“An old man came into the res-
taurant.” he said, “and, as it was evi-
dent he was a countryman, the pro-
prietor told mo I might look after him.
So. for the first time in my life, I pre-
sented a menu and took an order. The
old man's order, I remember well, was
ham and eggs and buckwheat cakes.
“After I had brought these viands,
1 took my station behind the old
man's chair, so as to be ready to fit;
his glass, change his plate, and so
forth.
“But it seems he didn’t like me to
stand there. He fidgeted about a bit,
and then he turned and said with a
black frown:
“ ‘Say, young feller, what are yer
standin’ there in back o’ me fur? I)c
yr think Tm going to steal the sil
ver ?’ "
Unhappy International Wedding,
A rumor gathers strength in New
York that the young duchess of Mail-
borough will rete.rn to her native land
this summer and will never return to
England. Her husband is said to he
tired of co”iugal fetters and among
his intimates makes no secret of the
fact. In fact, it is said, his heart be-
longs and always has belonged to an-
other. Sometimes there are whisper*
of an occasion when his father-in-law
William K. Vanderbilt, took him by
the throat in a clubroom and was
about to “mop the floor with him”
when friends separated them.
