GALVESTON H UlUUCANE-SWEPT i/oss of Life Was Small-Property l>amago 915,000,000. Dallas, Texas, Aug. 18.-Galves ton has emerged from one or the most severe storms In the annals of the Cl ii 1 f of Mexico, battered and se verely burdened with financial loss, but with the known loss ot' lite less than a score. This summarizes the first definite news received from the island city since the tropical hurricane which Munday hogan nattering against the gigantic sea wall which protects the city from the waters of the gulf. An accurate estimate ot' the property damage was not possible to-night, luit those who did venture an esti mate say thal it might reach the proportions of the storm of 1900, When property valued at $15,000, 000 was swept away. The first messenger from the stricken city reached Houston to-day and reported a thousand feet of tho sea wall swept away; the causeway which connects Galveston with the mainland cut in two. and the city strewn with the debris of 500 build ings crushed by the assaults ol' wind and tidal waves. Fires Add to Damage. Three lires also did groat damage and the city is wi: bout an adequate suppl-' ot' drinking water, the mains leading to the city's supply .wells at Alto Loma, 18 miles away, having been broken. The belated reporl to-day says that the storm reached ifs zenith at o'clock Monday and the cottages along the sea wall were crumbled and scattered into Hying timbers. The waters ol' the guli', whipped into Vury, tore away bits ol' sea wall until an opening had boen dug into the tough cement, then the battle be tween water and concrete began. Despite the tact that a thousand feet of the wall was battered away. Gal veston attributes its salvation as a city to the big dike which was built a few years after the storm of 1900. One break 20 foot wide in front of the Galvez Hotel lei in most of the water that damaged the residential section. All the city's resort bath houses and bench amusements have boon SW "?pt away. Tin1 Murdoch. the Breakers and the Surf bath houses, euch of which was a commodious frame structure, were demolished and heaped upon the boulevard in debris. The loss to the city port facilities has been enormous and all kinds of craft have suffered. The United States transport McClellan is high a.,'round on Pelican Island, an arti ficial spot north of Galveston just across the ship channel. Many ves sels have been capsized and several reported as destroyed. Yesterday the city was placed un der martial law and after surveying the properly damage the mayor an nounced that tb?? city would not need to call on other communities for financial aid. Thc surprisingly low loss of life probably ls duo to the lessoi of 1900. for the population Monday night sought refuge in t he .stronger build ings, where the disaster of I ."? years airo found the residents sleeping while the gale took the lives of over S.O00. (Oast Storm Reports. With large sections of the storm swept southeastern coast of Texas Still ?ut off from communication re ports received last nigh) and early to-day place the number known to lia ve been killed in the tropical hur ricane which swept the Texas coast at more than Ino. The property loss was vaguely estimated in the mil lions, some estimates placing the probable loss as high as $30.000,000. (.'alveston suffered probably the heaviest financial loss, but only 1 1 persons are known lo have lost their lives in thal city, while at. Virginia Point 30 were killed, and at Texas City, across the bay from Galveston. 18 lost thoLr lives. Other points re porting loss of life were: Morgan's Point 11. Sylvan Beach Houston 2, Hitchcock 7. La Porto 7. Port Ar thur I, Lynchburg :\, Seabrook .1. Many Brave Feats. Many brave feats were performed by soldiers of the United Stales army at Texas City, many of whom narrowly escaped with their lives when they were ordered inland when the water encroached on the encamp ment. An especially noteworthy feat was that of Sergeant Petty, who swam nearly a mlle, carrying a two months-old baby. After landing the baby safely he returned and brought In the mother and another child. Petty was formerly a niemlx r of the life-saving station at Galveston. Much praise was given to the soldiers for their conduct. Twelve Soldiers ? Los? Lives. Waco, Texas. Aug. 18.-A copy of the sixth edition of the Houston Chronicle of Tuesday says: "Twelve soldiers were killed at Toxas City during last night's storm when tho Thompson building, a new three-story structure, collapsed. Eight were killed by falling brick, while lour drowned later. About or 40 civilians, many of their j women and children, also lost their lives. "Those killed were enlisted men and no commissioned officers lost their lives. i "Military rule has been establish ed at Texas City, and the soldiers are fishing corpses out of the water as fast a.> hey can he located." Government Dredge Went Down. Houston, Texas, Aug. 18.-Twen ty-five members of the crew of the government dredge San Bernardino, which sank in the inter-costal canal below Galveston during the hurri cane, are believed to have been drowned. The government dredge Sam Houston went aground near Galveston and some of her crew of are reported lost. Twenty to Thirty Perish. Beaumont, Texas, Aug. 10. Twenty to thirty persons lost their lives when the tropical storm of Monday night almost completely de stroyed Anahuac and Wallisville, small towns on Calveston Bay, ac cording to advices reaching here to day. American Schooner T/ost. Mobile, Ala.. Aug. 19.- Nows was received here to-day that the Ameri can three-masted schooner Dora Alli son had been lost in the tropical hur ricane on Monday and Tuesday. The news of the loss of the vessel that was bound from Progresse, Mexico, to Mobile with a cargo of sisal grass, was received in a telegram from Capt. Woods, who is injured and in a hospital at Pori Crockett. Texas. Xo details were given. The Allison is owned by an exporter of this city. Xews was also recto ved here to day that the British schooner Edna V. Pickles, ol' Mobile, was ashore off Galveston, but apparently iud badly damaged. 103 Dead and Missing. Calveston, Aug. 10.- The total missing and known dead from an area 100 miles wide along the Texas coast, extending on both sides ot Calveston, to-day is IOU, wit li the known dead less than 100. Calves ton (city and island) missing and dead were twelve. Galveston, though suffering a pro portionately small percentage of fa talities, lias sustained the heaviest property losses. The damage on this coast, where the water swept inland in places a distance of at least 20 miles over the low mainland and in which the hur ricane rolled houses over like! tops, deposited vessels in farm fields and drowned large numbers of valuable animals, will reach many millions of dollars. (The property loss has been revised, and is now estimated at $10.000,000.) A MERCILESS JUDGE. One Who Shows Xo Favor. \ merciless judge is Father Time. Before him Hie weak and the want ing go to the wall. Only the truth can stand. For years the following statement from a Walhalla citizen bas withstood this sternest of all t esl s. lt. D. Oelkers, butcher, W. Main street, Walhalla, says: "I have suf fered from rheumatic pains ever since I was young. My kid nev? have al ways been irregular in action and I have had backache. I used Donn's Kidney Pills, procured from Bell's drug store, and they gave nie nd iel'. Another of the family had dizzy and nervous spells and the kidneys were weak.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children* The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of PRANK CASK IS NOT ENDED. Its Fud May Prov? us Terrible us Its Beginning. Atlanta, Au?. 19.-The lynching of Leo M. Frank baa not ended the i Frank ease, lt is a bigger issue to ?lay than it was day before .rester- ', day. Contrary to all expectations, the men who lynched Frank have; talked instead of maintaining the eternal silence which many believed I i hey were pledged to. lt is learned on positive authority, according to the Atlanta papers, that j the party which look Leo M. Frank from the State farm and hung him to the limb of a tree was a party of prominent Cobb county citizens. It is learned on the same author ity that the plans were carefully laid in advance. It i.s learned that Ix?o M. Frank did not make any confession, and that the only request he made was that he be allowed to write to his w i fe. From the same quoted source comes the statement, published here, that "We would not advise inquisi tive authorities or persons to try to reveal the identity of the twenty-five meit." The man who made that statement, is known to the newspapers, accord ing to the papers, and the name of one other Cobb county citizen who knows all about the affair is said to be e<iuall.v well known. It is not known whether either of these men actually participated in the affair itself, but both admit full prior knowledge of it. So mindi for the aspect of the case. The other aspect is that Governor Nat E. Harris bas announced that he and the State authorities v. ill re lentlessly probe the lynching to the bottom, and that newspapers here and In the North and Fast are edi torially urging that the men who lynched Prank bo brought to jus ? tice. lt was believed for a short time after the affair occurred that the mystery which surrounded it would remain a mystery forever, and that any effort to achieve any other re sult would bo fruitless. To-day a wide range of possibilities are opened up, a id the end of thc Frank ease, in the opinion of some, may prov-? be as terrible as was its beginning. THY IT !

We Should Worry! (Columbia Record.) When we get down to brass tacks, why should we worry? In fact, who should worry? Not the farmer. He realizes that all depend upon him and that he will he treated with consid?r?t ion. If anybody should worry it is the fertilizer man and the merchant who has advanced supplies. They don't appear to be sitting up all night, with Dull Care. Leaving aside the tremendous small grain crops and the larger than usual corn crops, iel us look at the Mutation calmly. The cotton farmer has fewer debts, He can get along for months with out much ready cash. He has the promise of the govern menl to aid him in tiding over the I crisis. So. why should wo worry? Let the farmer pick lils cotton, gin it carefuiy, store it in a good warehouse, borrow some money, pay some debts, and then Everybody will be happy, Tho Ziichnri R?union, Tho 7th reunion of tho Zachary family will bo held in Cashier's, N.

HUSBAND RESCUED DESPAIRING WIFE After Four Years of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.-In an interesting 1?!??r from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this iime, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. Thc doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com menced taking it. From the very first dose, I could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without itt tiring rn?. ?nd arri dclr.g al! my work.'" If you arc all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up In despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic.
