Guthrie, O. T April 29. A cloud
burst 20 miles north of Guthrie nt six
o'clock Wednesday morning turned the
already flooded valley of the Cotton
wood into a deluge and tent a wave of
water six feet high sweeping w ith ter
rifle force tow nrd Guthrie. The great
wave came down the valley like a cat
aract and broke upon the sleeping city
without a moment's warning. It came
with a mighty roar, crushing house in
its path, and swept across the lowlands
of West Guthrie, leaving death nnd de
vnstation. It is believed that over C00
homes are in ruins, hundreds of house
having been floated away on the crest
of the flood. Large numbers of people.
possibly 200, have been drowned.

Dusiuess has been suspended in

but all aid Iras been necessarily retarded
by the confused continuation of things.
It will be impossible to explore the
houses until the water shall subside, ns
many of them nre submerged. Tlie flood
i.s supposed to have been caused by a
cloudburst, supplemented by heavy
rains.
The Cottonwood river is a small
stream scarcely more than 40 feet w ide,
that winds in many curves between the
banks in West Guthlie, which lies in
the level valley of the river. A ter
lific. rain fell the day before, nnd a
greater part of the night. The river
was already full from a heavy rain sev
eral days ago. No great nlarm was felt
nt night, as the river rose gradually and
the people felt that it wa.s impossible
for the waters to rise high enough to
overflow the steep bunks.
About six o'clock in the morning the
river began to rise as if by magic.
Higher nnd higher it cmne, jumping
four feet in 30 minutes at seven o'clock.
Persons who saw the first wall of
water said that it was nlout eight feet
high, spreading entirely ncross the val
ley. There wns no water in front of it
save that In the river's channels. The
first wave wa.s followed by others in
quick succession, until the whole
swelled into a bank of water from six
to eight feet high. Many had already
begun carrying their household goods
to places of safety, but few had made
more than one trip when they were
forced to flee for their lives Jiefore a
raging, resistless torrent that no jxiwcr
of man could hope to stay.
To add to the horror of the situation,
the main supply pipe of the water
works system burst where it crossed
the Cottonwood, in the southern part
cf the city, and nil the water in the res
ervoir burst into the river.
In the southern part of the city a long
nrm of land is formed by the widening
of the river. On this land lived hun
dreds of negroes. During tlie night
the bridge leading ncross the river to
the city had been swept awny. The
people were nbsorbed in watching the
rising waters, when the fk)od from the
reservoir came down in a solid wall
and cut ncross the nrm of land near the
mainland, cutting off the people from
scape.
They lied from their homes to the
higher tortious of the newly-formed
island. In half an hour the mountain
of water had done Its work and prac
tically spent itself. The air became
hideous with the crashing of houses
nnd tlie cries for help of the unfortu
nates.
When the first shock of the disnstcr
wns over the more fortunate on the
island Immediately lwgan to help those
nearest them, while ncross In Guthrie
roper prompt steps were taken nt
leseue. i he nouses, liarns nnl other
effects began to drift down strenm,
each freighted with one or more human
beings; boats or rafts shot out here nnd
there from the shore nnd despernte ef
forts were made to rescue the people.
Improvised rafts were ouickly thrown
together nnd started out Into the mad
stream. Defore many of them hud been
propelled a couple of yards from shore
they were twisted nr:d broken by the
witters nnd the would-be rescuers
thrown into the stream. Half n dozen
rescuer were drowned even be fop
those they had tried to save had been
reached.
Wednesday night 40 or 50 people
could be seen clinging to trees and
roofs of buildings, but could not be
reached, and Kp"ut the ni",lit there.

GOES TO THE SENATE.
lAtna Content In Kentucky Rnde4 by
the lllrrtlon u( Drbor,
Frankfort, Ky., April 29, Gov. Drad
ley has written out the certificate of
election for Hon. William J. Deboe, of
Crittenden county, a junior senator
from Kentucky, to succeed Hon. J. C.
S. Dlackburn, whoso term expired
March 4. Senator Deboe will be in hU
ent In the senate on Monday next. The
end of tlie famous struggle which ha,
extended over two legislative sessions
will go Into history us the most mem
orable Kentucky has ever known. Dr.
Hunter came here six weeks ago with
n majority In tlie legislature, with a
clean majority of these republican
atanchly for him and the additional
backing of the national nnd state party
organizations, but circumstances were
ngainst him, and Deboe won on the
one hundred and twelfth ballot.
Amid Intense but suppressed excite
mcnt the ballot was taken. It stood:
Deboe, 71; Martin, 12; Stone, 1; Dlack
burn, 46.
After the official declaration of the
election of Deboe there were such loud
demonstrations that even the telegraph
oftiees in tlie lobby had to suspend
business nnd nothing but the bare bal
lot could be sent out. The excitement
was intense, as it ended a contest that
w. J. deuoi:.
has been waged here since last year.
Senator Dlackburn and his friends,
utter lighting hard for over a year, in
the regular and the extra sessions,
went down with their colors Hying
The silver democrats concealed their
disappointment and the gold democrat
joined in the jollification. There never
was such a scene in the Kentucky state
house. The cheering nnd demonstrations
were ended by the president putting a
motion and declaring the assembly uil
journcd sine. die. Deboe can never be
charged with using money in his brief,
victorious race. He and hi.s friends nre
tco poor to give a banquet. He has re
ceived hundreds of telegrams of con
grattihition nml Is besieged by men for
federnl positions In Kentucky.
William J. Dehoe, the firt republican
United States senator ever sent from Ken
tucky, wns born in Crittenden county, Ky.,
In 1K-0. He received his early education
in tlie schools and academies of Crittenden
and Caldwell counties. 1 le attended Kwlng
college, Illinois, and afterward whs Krndu
at(d in medicine from the medical univer
sity of Louisville, lie practiced awhile In
his native county, and then took up the
study of law, preferring tho latter profes
slon, which ho has practiced for about nln
years. Dr. Dcboo tlrst became prominent
In politics when he was elected delegate to
the national republican convention In lsx,
which nominated (Sen. Harrison, in Chi
cago. In WD he was elected superintendent
of schools for Crittenden county, and in
August of 1V.12 he was nominated for con
gress. Although defeated, he cnrrled sev
eral counties which had been democratic.
From IS'.mi to the present tlmo he has been
a member of the republican state central
t ornmlttie. In lv3 ho was elected Btato
senator, and drew tho long term.

rnslclans Wise In their Generation,
The above class of scientists recognize and
have repeatedly borne testimony, to the elli
cacy of llostetter's Stomach Litters as a
remedy and preventive of fever and ajjue,
rheumatism, want of vigor, liver complaint,
and some other ailments and infirm con
ditions of the system. Kapcricncc and obser
vation have taught them its value. They
but echo the verdict long since pronounced
by the public and the press. Only the
benighted now are ignorant of America's
tonic and alterative.
