FREE CURE FOR MEN.
Michigan Man Offers to Send Hl Dla
oovtry Free.
Claims to Bo a Benefaotor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is r1wvb morn or less suspicion
attached to anything that is nfftred free but
sometimes a mau so overflows with generosity
that tie canuot rest until Ills dlscoverv Is
known to the world, in order that Ills fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered.
It is upon this principal that a' resident of
Knlamasoo, Mich., desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will cure them
of any form of nervous debility ; relieves
them of all the donbt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
tlio organs to natural slso and vigor. As it
tost nothing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that Usually attack man
who never stopped to realise what might ho
the final result, ought to be deeply Interested
In a remedy which will restore them to
health, strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery. As the remedy In question was the
result of many years research ns to what
combination would be peculiarly effective In
restoring to men the strength they ueed, it
-would seem that all men siiHerlng with any
form of nervous weakness ought to write for
such a remedy at once. A request to II. C.
Olds. Ilox 171B, Kalamauo, Mtcb., stating
that you are not sending for the proscription
nnt of idle curiosity, but that vou wish to
make use of tbe medicine by giving ita trial,!
will ue answereu promptly huu vruquut
evidence as to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and although
seme may wonder bow Mr. Olds can afford to
glvo away his discovery, there is no doubt
aliont the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send to Mr. Olds so that he may know
who you chiup to write him. 12-28-781

Guthrie, O. T., April 1. Chandler, an
Interior boom town, 60 miles from
Quthrle, Is a mass of ruins. At G
o'clock Tuesday evening a cyclone
swept down upon the town and almost
completely wiped It from the face of
the earth. Of her 1.600 inhabitants 20
were killed outright or burned to death,
an fully 170 were Injured. Of the lat
ter It la thought ten will die, and, 11
others are In a dangerous co million.
The remalndSF of the population Is
homeless, The Presbyterian church,
Mitchell's hotel and two other build
ings arejlll that remain standing, and
these have been turned Intn hospitals.
The property loss will aggregate $600,
000. There are not half cofllns enough
here, to bury the dead.
The people were slow to recover from
the shock of the calamity, and not un
til noon 'yesterday did any thing like
system prevail In the work of relief.
Particulars are still meager. Save one
slow working telephone wire out of
Chandler and one telegraph wire from
Quthrle the town Is practically cut oft
from the outside world.
The storm broke upon the city sud
denly. Shortly before 0 o'clock a mass
of dark clouds gathered In the south
west and whirled north. They soon
developed Into a funnel shaped mass
and bore down upon the outskirts of
tbe town. Am the tornado touched the
ground the, roar was deafening'. The
funnel shapt.1 vlc'td spill as It struck
the northwest border Of " CWtrflilL-,
which Is situated on a h)llr Atiil one
half went tfirmigh the lowjTand the
other went north. Before -eeeape was
possible the cyclone had' swept through
the town. Buildings were crushed or
lifted high into the air and tossed in
every direction.
Chief Justice Dale, of the Oklahoma
supreme court, was holding court in
the court house, which was crowded,
lie ran with his wife to a hollow, and
the two, protected by a boulder, es
caped unhurt. A moment later the
structure was twisted around and
crashed into the street, a complete
wreck. One of the occupants was killed
outright and a dozeli others Injured.
. n Main street tho Lincoln
County bank building was toppled over
and was soon enveloped . in flames.
Iteie, before aid could reach them, five
unl'ortunates were burned to death
while pinioned down by heavy timbers.
Still further down the street three
children suffered a like fate.
Passing on to the residence district
the cyclone toppled over dwelling after
dwelling, turned houses on their tops
and made the streets unrecognizable,
A 2-days-old baby was carried four
blocks and not injured, while the
mother was crushed In her bed.
The trail the storm left was one of
wreck and ruin. With the first real
ization of their predicament over, the
uninjured and able bodied found them
selves, from fright and confusion, well
nigh helpless to render aid. Finally,
when an effort to send fur aid was
made, it was found that all pbmmunl
cation with the outside world had been
cut off, the telephone pfflce being
among the buildings destroyed. It was
several hours before communication
with Guthrie was established.
The nature of the catastrophe, to
gether with an appeal for aid, had
been communicated to the neighboring
city when the wires snapped, and
Chandler was again shut off. In tho
meantime, however, a train bearing
1-hyslcinns and others left for tho scene.
The wire came up and appeals came
Piompt, and additional rescuing par
ties were sent out as soon as the ex'
tent of the damage became known.
The night in Chandler was one of In
describable terror. With many of its
inhabitants dead or dying, and the re
malnder too badly injured or unable
from fright or because of the darkness
to render assistance, no order prevailed.
Italn poured down in torrents. The In
jured in many cases vainly cried for
help, and lay In the wrecks of their
homrs until daylight made It possible
for t:-: - to help themselves, or when
aid from surrounding towns arrived.
Improvised hospitals were erected,
and the unfortunates were cared for as
fast as passible. At 1 o'clock 20 dead
bodies had been taken from the ruins,
while dozens of persons more or less
seriously injured had been removed to
plaoes of safety. But one of Chandler's
physicians escaped uninjured, and even
after aid from Guthrie arrived there
was a scarcity of surgeons. Only two
wer able to do any thing Tuesday
night, and one of these. Dr. Walcott,
with blood streaming from a sightless
eye, worked until Jie fainted.
Queer sights greet the eye on all
sides. Ten trees havo a houseroof
hanging on each, and clothing and
household goods are scattered in the
streets. Dead horses, cows and other
animals are to be seen everywhere,
while a pile of ruins has a piano perch
ed on top of It. Many of the citizens
wander about the streets, dazed at
the calamity, and almost on the verge
of insanity at the loss of family and
homes. Two or three have gone stark
mad.
By last night 10,000 people had flock
ed into the city. Many of them came
to render aid, but the majority are
morbid sightseers. A great quantity -Of
slothing, bedding and provisions has
been sent In, and the Guthrie club
raised S1.S00 In cash to send today.
Tenta have been sent from Fort Iteno
and Guthrie, and these will provide
temporary shelter for the unfortunates.
All are homeless, however, and more
substantial aid must quickly follow.
Food Is scarce, and the supply of medi
cine has been destroyed.'
The dead are:
Attorney John Dawson, B. R. De
moff, Emma Dressslnger, an unknown
v. oman and a child, all burned to death
by being pinioned in the wreck of the
Lincoln bank; Mrs. Tom Smith, Mrs.

ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
One Person In Every rour Buffers rrom
riles.
About one person hi JStty four sailers
from same form of rectal disease. The most
common and annoying Is Itching piles, Indl
cKled by warmth, slight moisture and Int.nse,
uncontrollable itching In the parts a f Peeled.
The usual treatment lias been tome simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief, but nothing like n perma
nent cure tan lo expected from such super
ficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for Itching piles
yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not
only for Itching plies, but for every other
form of piles, blind, bleeding or protruding.
The first application gives instant relief and
the continued uie for a short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors er the
small parasites which cause the intense llch
infffend discomfort f itching piles.
Many; physlslans for a long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Ille Cure was because it was sup
posed to contain cocaine, opium, or similar
drugs, but such is not the caso. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium,
or in fact any poisonous, injurious drJgs
whatever. Sold by druggists at DO conte per

RACE ABOUT EXTINCT.
Few Survivors of tlio South African Bush
men Left.
One of tho most interesting races In tin
world, from an ethnologist's point of view
1b on the point of extinction. For man;
rears past the hushmcn of South Afrloi
have been dwindling In numbers till th
survivors may almost lie counted on one'
Angers. The tmshman is first cousin to th
diminutive race of pygmies found by thi
great explorer Du Chnlllu in the ooastlandi
of western Africa, near the equator, nnt
olosely resembles the dwnrfs found bj
Stanley n tho grcr-t! Aruwhlml forest. Ii
all probability they are tho remnants o
the aboriginal race of Africa which ha
been driven into tho corners of tho Afrlcnl
earth by successive Invidious of Hottentot
OantU and negro tribes. Their existence
In Africa is mentioned as far back ns 168t
by Andrew Battell, one of the earliest o
Africa's English explorers. He describe)
them as "no bigger than boye of 13 yent
old, but very thick, and they live only upoi
flcsli, which they kill In the woods wltl
their bows and their darts."
Tho bushmau Is ono of tho lowest type,
of humanity, not many degrees removet
from tho animal. He is of small sUttir
but not dwarfed, and, with high olios,
bones, his deep set eyes havo an ozoecdingl)
punning look. Buehmon aro troglodytes
and, remaining In their caves by day, salh
forth at night from their mountain fast
nessoa and harass tho nearost farmers In
slaying their stook with arrows composed
of reeds tipped with bono or iron saturatec
In the fatal Juloe of the euphorbia trei
mixed with the poison of snakes and spl
ders. So troublesome did they lieoome li
Natal during the early history of the col
ony that a special fort was built now
known ns Fort Nottingham whence ex
pcdltlons were organized against thest
dlmlnutlvo marauders. Still later a wai
of extermination was wnged ngalnst then
by a band of farmers under tho Drakons
borg, who raided their haunts In the wilt
mountains and succeeded in freeing them
selves from this troublesomo pest. Evor,,
bushman fought for himself, and they rco
ognlzed no chief, much los any prhnltlvt
system of government such, as prevulli
among tho Bantu race.
It Is a singular thing that, though so low
In tho social scale, tho bushman possessei
tho power of Illustration totally unltnowi
to his more civilized successors, and vcrj
creditable representations of clands.dlngos
snakes, and oven scenes of hunting and
battlo are to bo found In tho caves o-
Drukensberg, nbovo tho sources of th
Bushman river. Soverol of tho drawing,
have been removed to tho library at I'ieter
marltzbure, where they form a vulunbli
collection for the colonial antiquary. Tht
bushman's lnnguago is mainly oomposec
of clicks, of which thero aro six distinct
kinds, but It Is tmpoasiblo on hearing ont
of this pygmy raco talk to do otherwlsi
thau set him down as an animal. Thero li
a local tradition in Natal that "the last oi
tho bushmen" was a farm laborer nt ont
of tho homesteads under tho Drokonsberg
and, falling sick of a fever, his end was de
voutly looked for by a looal scientist, who
on the desired consummation, obtulnei
his bones and forwarded them to England,

ONE OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, a receptaclo for tho urine, and as
such it is not liable to any form of disease ex
cept by ono of two ways. Tho first way is
from imperiect action of tho kidneys. Tbo
second way is from careless local treatment
of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys,
is the ohief cause of bladder troubles and
suffering sapalpful to many that life is mado
miserable The womb like the bladder was
created for ons purpose, and if left alone it is
not liable to become diseased, except in rare
cases. When in position the womb is situatod
back of and very close to tho bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease or incon
venleuco manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passago is often by mis
take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of somo sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided by paying
a little attention to the condition of tbe
urine (see pamphlet). The mild and the ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swauip
Itoot, the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy is soon realized. It stauds tho high
est for its wonderful cures. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. At drug
gists fifty cents and one dollar. You may
have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both
sent free by mail. Mention Eveninci Her

Memphis, April 1. -A heavy rainfall,
accompanied by a strong gale from tho i
west, is adding to the gravity of the
Hood situation In the Mississippi delta, i
There are four breaks, and each Is let
ting in a stream as large as the Ohio
river at Cincinnati or the Hudson at
Albany. This tremendous outflow has
caused a fait of only one-tenth at
Vlcksburg, Immediately below the last
break. The rain and wind will prob
ably cause more breaks. The river is
now like an' Inland sea, and last even
ing a telegram from a point below
Rosedale, Miss., announced that the
waves were pounding against the levee.
This being true, there will be In ail
probability more orevasses today. All
the forces of nature are against the
people. The rainfall and wind intensi
fies the danger. If the wind were from
the east it would mean little, but the
gale Is blowing from the west.
On the Arkansas side the levee from
Helena to Arkansas City is as full of
holes as the outer wall of a fortifica
tion after a siege. There is a break at
Westover. which occurred at an early
hour yesterday morning. A thousand
men were at work on the levees when
the crash came. First a thin thread of
nr atatr liaera ti r tvnlrlatk nvi (Via itntai I
wall of the embankment. Experienced
levee men saw the danger and cried
out a warning, and the laborers rushed
back, and In but five minutes a gap 50
feet wide and six feet deep was torn
in the wall of earth. The break grew
until It is now over a hundred feet
wide. This crevasse Is ten miles below
Helena, and the water rushing through
it will destroy a dosen splendid planta
tions, and may back up to Helena.
Other breaks will probably occur In
the Arkansas side.
The Laconla Circle country, a few
miles below Westover, Is under water.
This circle Is surrounded by a levee.
The levee in the rear went to pieces
Monday and the water rushed in and
spread itself over J0.000 acres of the
most fertile land In Arkansas, and into
plantations giving support to no less
than 6,000 people.
Gunnison, Miss., Hosedale and tC doz
en oilier small towns are under water,
and tie nrospects are that the whole
oountry Aua. t,e inundated. The water
is spreading over the territory tron.
Jerthshlre, Miss., to a point ten miles
north ot Vlcksburg and back from the
river 80 or 40 miles. Already the loss
of cattle has been enormous. Corn
that was planted and growing Is un
der water, and preparations for cotton
planting were well under way. The
plowed earth will be swept Into the Ya
zoo and thence Into the Mississippi.
It is difficult to estimate the loss. A
thickly settled country containing an
area of about 4,000 square miles, dotted
with farmhouses, negro cabins and
small villages, will be flooded. Labor
will become demoralized and negroes
cannot be secured in sufficient num
bers to cultivate the crops when the
water subsides. The Yazoo and Mis
sissippi Valley railroad will have 150
miles of track under water before the
flood is ovor. The loss of human life
so far has been small. Not a half
dozen people have been drowned In the
delta, and probably a dozen on the
Arkansas side south of Helena. The
upper floods, which have prevailed In
the Saint Francis basin for two weeks,
claimed probably 50 victims, all colored.
Greenville, Miss., is still safe. Water
is In Rftiedale, coming from the Perth
shire break, while Gunnison is badly
flooded. This might, with the wind and
rain, bring forth the supreme catas
trophe, the breaking of the levee im
mediately in front of a town. Those
directly behind the levees are Helena,
Friar's Point, Rosedale and Greenville,
l'roin Cripple Creek.
After the big fire in Cripple Creek, I took
a very severe cold nnd tried msny remedies
without help, the oold only becoming more
settled. After using three small bottles
of Chamberlain's Cough Itemedy, both the
cough aud cold left me, aud in this high alti
tude it takes a meritorious cough remedy to
do any good. G. II, Henderson, editor
