Kansas Ony, April 28. A special to
the Star from Guthrie, Oklahoma, save:
A terrible Hood in the Cottonwood river
suddenly engulfed West Guthrie shortly
after sunrise this morning. There is
reason to believe that fully a score of per
sons were drowned. Hundreds were
driven from their homes, and many
houses were swept away. It is the moat
appalling disaster that ever befell Guth
rie. The Cottonwood river is a small stream
scarcely more than 4(1 feet wide, that
winds in many curves between the banks
in West Guthrie, which lies in a level
valley. Terrific rain fell yesterday
afternoon and the greater part of last
night. The river was already full from
the heavy rain of several days upo. Still
no great alarm was felt last night.
At about 0 a. m. the river began to
rise as if by magic. Then it jumped
four feet in twenty minutes. This part
of Guthrie is thickly settled, mostly by
colored people. Many began carrying
their household goods to places of safety.
Few made more than one trip, then they
were forced to flee for their lives. The
river burst from its banks and a raging
sea half a mile wide swept across the
valley, carrying houses barns and fences
before it.
To add to the horror of the situation
the main Bupply pipe of the waterworks
system burst where it crossed Cotton
wood in the southern part of the city
and all the water in the reservoirs
poured into the river. During the .night
tVu liriflnrn lonflint. nrrnoa tlio rivor tn thf
city had been swept away.
Tnis morning when the flood from the
reservoir came down in a solid wall and
cut across an arm of land near the main
land, it cut off the people from escape.
They fled to a higher part of the newly
formed island.
The river at 0 o'clock was . thirty feet
higher than the usual level.

New Diecovery becauee you know it to

. NO CLOCKS THERE.
Gambling Uounei llnvo No Use for Time
Indicators.
There are no clocks in gambling
hoxises, and there never will be, except
those of the clock game variety.
There's reason for this nnd a good one,
too, in the opinion of the gentlemen
with hurdle-course shirt fronts who
personify the tiger, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"What's the time?" asked ono of
them the other morning early morn
ing as he pulled a diamond studded
watch from his pocket nnd answorcd
the question.
"Why don't wc have a clock hanging
up?" he continued. "Cr.use they cost
money. I don't mean it takes more
than the result of one denl to pay for
one of 'em in the first place, but they're
expensive in the end. You sec it's this
way: If we bad a ticker on the wall
and a fellow had promised to be home
on the last car, and happened to look
up and see that he had r..ven minutes
to catch that car. why, it's nearly an
even thing that he'd quit us and go
home. That sort of business would
soon burst us up. If he do"sn't know
what the time is he misses his car, then
he doesn't give a rap what time he
iroes; he generally waits for the cable
to start again. That's where our 'soft
.noney' comes in; men get reckless as
the morning dawns.
"No, sir; no clocks on my wall. I'm
not going to fix things so that a man
will have to lie to his wife When he
tells her he didn't know what the time
ras. I don't like a liar nohow."
And Mr. Surething pulled his watch
out of his pocket and told a man who
had just arisen from a poker table that
'It is just 2:50, sir." The man mut'
tered: "Missed it," and bought another
.tack.
It was 3:15 a. in.
HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Marriage Is the Prescription of a Distill
Rulshed Berlin Physician.
Some curious figures have latelj
been made public by a celebrated Ber
lin physician, which seem to point tc
the fact that if a man wants to live long
and preserve his health nnd strength
he ought to marry. Among unmarried
men between the ages of 30 nnd 45,
says Spare Moments, the death rate is
27 per cent. Among married men be
tween the same nges it is only 18 per
cent. For 41 bachelors who live to bo
40 years of age 78 married men trl
nmphanlly arrive at the same period.
The difference gets all the more marked
as time goes on. At CO years of age
there arc only 22 bachelors to 48 mar
ried men; at 70 there are 11 bachelors
to 27 who were married, and by the time
they reach !)0 the married men are
three to one. for there are nine of them
to every three bachelors! And yet, in
j the fuce of facts like these, we still find
1 men daring to remain single! It really
is as much as their lives are worth, if
they only come to think of it. Men
may talk of their lives being shortened
by domestic worries and anxieties and
cares. That is all rubbish. Statistics
must tell the truth, and these statistics
of the Berlin doctor say that the inan
who is a bachelor stands in far greater
risk of a shortened span.
Reasoning Power of ltoDlns.
A robin's nest and a kingbird's nest
were situated in adjoining trees, each
containing young birds. When the
kingbirds saw the robin bringing a
worm to feed its young they would at
tack it and make it give up the food in
tended for the young robins. After
being robbed a few times the robin ap
peared with a worm, accompanied by
two other robins, and when the king
bird made his appearance the two extra
robins pitched in and gave him a sound
thrashing, while the one with the worm
fed its young and seemed to be laugh
ing all the while. The game was
played until the kingbird gave it up,
and now tho robin feeda its young with
out help.
A liiunt Mun.
An intensely reserved man, Ibsen is
not at all fond of talking of himself or
of his works. At a dinner some time
ago the wife of a well-known artist,
being seated beside him, insisted on
conducting the conversation to that
end and finally maintained at length
that his "Hedda Gablcr" was an im
possible woman. "But, madam," ho
answered, ''I draw her from the life."
"Yes, IlerrDoktor, but I am a woman.
I should know. I say again that it is
Impossible thai sueli a woman should
sxist." This was too much for Herr
Doktor; like a flash ho turned on her.
"Idiot!" ho ejaculated, which was
laturally tho end of that conversation.
