President Roosevelt and Family's Narrow Escape?Loss of Property at Atlantic City is Very Great-Other Sections Visited by |tl?e Great West India Storm With More or Less Severity., New York. Sectember 16 ?With . - / f out warning, a hurricane that bad developed from the storm that had been sweeping op the Atlantic coast early in the day burst over New York at noon, spreading terror and | causing heavy damages. During the period of maximum severity, the streets were dangerous to life and limb, by reason of falling signs and falling glass. Shipping suffered greatly, many small vessels being sent to the bottom. In Harlem the residents were in a state of panic and sought refuge in cellars and basements. Two church sfceples in Brooklyn were blown over, also a steel cupola in the new Eagle building. Several persons were in jnred but none seriously. Trees across tbe tracks in many parts of the city practically stopped railway traffic. At Slepleton the entire fleet of the Staten Island Yacht Club, consisting of eighteen vessels, sank. A three masted schooner and a barkantine met in collision and are now pounding in heavy seas beyond the reach of assistance. All along the New Jersey coast tbe storm was especially severe. The seas walked over the bulkheads and piers and carried away a part of the Bloff at Long Branch. Hotels and cottages at that place were in great danger. The storm wss tbe worst experienced on the New Jersey coast in years. Tbe wind attained a velocity of sixty miles per hour. The damage in greater New York, including shipping, is over a million dollars. In New Jersey tbe damage will probably reach tbe same figures. Coney Island suffered greatly. Several smaller resorts, including Rockaway beacb, were practically wiped out, Great damage was done to telegraph and telephone wires. Trains were much delayed and ferries stopped running. ATLANTIC CITY SUFFERS. Atlantic City was the greatest sufferer, the loss there alone being more than a million dollars, houses and cottages being uprooted and pavilions washed awiy. The wind reached a velocity of seventy-five miles per hour. PRESIDENT IN DANGER. The Sylph, with President Roosevelt, wife and a party of friends en route for Ellis Island, was forced to put in at the Brookland navy yard during the height of the storm. The yacht met the hurricane off the cost 1 and was id great danger for over an ' honr. The President later proceeded to the island to inspect the immigrant station there. A Boy's Wild Bide for Life. With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life, 18 miles, to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W. H.

The Kaufmann Drug Co. Fertilizers and Their Cost. Fifteen or twenty years ago farm ers had very little idea about the | cost or worth of fertilizers. If they > happened to make a fair crop the fertilizer was all right; if a poor one, then the fertlizer was worthless and the purchaser refused to pay sometimes. The whole business was on a hazardous basis. Th8 agents or dealers charged such a price that they could afford to lose the payment on some of their sales and then have a margin left for profits. It iB now sold on a business basis. Farmers have been to school, and many of them are able to calculate the benefit of commercial fertilizers. The manufacturers keep them up to their guarantee, for if they fall below they cannot collect. The first thing for the farmer to do is to ascertain just what his land needs most and then apply that special plant food that is k. J? " * A. needed. He must also remember that a ton of fertilizer is worth twice as much on a field broken 8 to 12 inches deep and harrowed thoroughly, as it is on a 4-inch soil unbroken The farmer must use his brains and pencil. He must experiment in a small way. Then he can tell best what bis soil needs. He could try acid phosphate, potash and cotton seed meal alone, weighing the quantities. Thus he could combine these by twos and then mix all three and apply to a few rows. Leaving a row or two without any fertilizer he could compare results and ascertain what did best for him. That is a little trouble but it is interesting work. Doctors Could Not Help Her. 4T had kidney trouble for years," writes Mrs. Raymond Conner, of Shelton, Wash., "and the doctors could not help me.
