Nc Additional Deaths Are Reported, But There Are Several SectionT'T^t To Be Heard From Where the Storm Was Severest. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 16.— Tele graphic communication south of this city, which has been d«inoraJized by tiie hurricane through the southern and middle sections of this state, has been restored as far south as Palm Beach on the eastern coast. Communication has been re^stablish- *di in the middle section of the state as far south as Bartow, but all wires are still down to points further south. It is yet impossible to learn of the damage which is reported to have been so severe at Punta Rassa. There is no communication south oi Punta Rassa. Reports received here last night state that the entire town had boen destroyed, but it was impos sible to confirm the reports. No additional deaths front the storm have been reported odlay, but there are several sections, where the storm was severest, which have not been heard from yet. It is believed now that the first re ports which were received from the middle section of the state, were grat- ly exaggerated, and that the property loss will not be as great as at first estimated. The greatest losses will be to the orange crop, and fall crops are report ed also to have suffered by the rain which followed tiTe tornado. Reports received there today from the southern counties state that great destruction was caused by the wind and rain. Numerous bridges are reported to have been washed away, and in several Instances public roads and railroad have suffered considera ble damage. It is reported that tew ns along the gull’ coast sustained severe property loss from the storm. It is stated that the damage in- ‘ curred by the storm to cigar manufao- 1 tories In Tampa will cause the tem porary suspension of almost all of the plants In that city. Reports received from the western and cotton belts of Florida state that great damage was done to the crops. New York Police Have Encounter with Cherry Hill Gang. New York. Sept. 16.—A band of ruf fians numbering about 30, known to the police on the east side as the Cher ry Hill gang, engaged in a shooting af fray early today at ftivington and El- dridge streets.

Des.Moinos, Iowa, Sept. 1C.—The first frost, of the season fell this morning. The weather bureau is of the opinion that the crops of corn will suffer con siderably. The temperature at Sioux City was 34 degrees above; at Omaha, 32. and at DesMoines, 40 this morning. Grain reports declare that a strip of country from Fonda to Rockwell City in the northwest suffered from last night’s frost, hut the damage was not as serious as might be imagined. “A Iowa is threatened with frost,” said J. R. Sage, director of the Iowa weath er andi crop service. “Fully two weeks of warm weather are needed to ripen the corn crop. With such a condition staring us in the face Hie situation is very grave.” The most brilliant gem that was ever takes from the earth would not amount to much if there were no peo ple to appreciate its beauty and to vie with each other for its possession. The most spacious store, the most carefully selected stock of goods, the clever est corps of clerks will not avail unless people know about them. Knowledge of such things is spread in various ways. A passerby may drop in and be impressed. He may tell his neighbor, and he in turn may tell somebody else. That is one way, and there are some merchants who today think it is good enough. Modern develop ment, however, has sup plied in newspapers the best means. They go into ev ery home in the land, how ever humble, however mag nificent. Through them all of the information can be supplied, not to one, but to thousands. Are you using this paper to the best advantage? t IRRIGATION CONGRESS. Many Addresses Made By Prominent Men-—Booth Tucker Spoke. Ogden, Utah, Sept. 16.—Methods of colonization of the vast irrigable dis tricts west, and the legal aspect of the whole question of irrigation and the existing land laws, were the subjects scheduled to come before the national irrigation congress at today’s sessions. The first named subject was expect ed to take up the entire morning ses- ssion, as besides Commander Booth Tucker, of the Salvation Army, who was to deliver the principal address on the subject, a dozen speculators, in eluding western railroad offivers, gov ernors, senators and congressmen from a number of states, were expected to make informal talks on how to best bring people to the newly irrigated lands and make them profitable. At the afternoon session the desert land act which was attacked by Pres tdent Clark in his address yesterday, was defended by Congressman Frank Mendell, of Wyoming, and here, if any where, divisions on one of the great problems to come before the groat eon gress wag. expected. The delegation of nearly 200 from Idaho arrived last nigbt and this morn ing, making nearly 200 present from that pioneer irrigating state. The seating capacity of the taber nacle Is totally inadequate. The fight for the 1904 congress is growing ex ! ceediingly lively with the newly launch- ! ed Boise boom developing rapidly. This morning the fight seemed xo hav« ' narrowed down to oBise and El ’Paso TOURING FEUDAL DISTRICTS. Salvation Army Marching and Holding Meetings In Kentucky. Jackson, Ky., Sept. 16.—The march ing and exercises of the Salvation Army that is touring the feudal dis tricts, brought a very large crowd from the mountains to this city today. The parade and services here last night at tracted large erowVls and it was not until tolay that the rural districts turned out on horseback, in ox carts and all sorts of vehicles, many also walking great distances.

Severe Defeats Being Inflicted Upon Turkish Troops. Constantinople, Sept. 16.—The feast of tiie cross passed off without distur bance at Beirut. Contrary to the official reports ad vices from good sources say the Ma cedonian insurgents are holding their own points and Inflicting defeats on the Turks in the districts of Morlhova and Melnik, 65 miles from Saloniea, where three Turkish battalions have almost been annihilated’. The local authorities at MonastP are seeking to prevent the foreign consuls and correspondents from leav ing the town under the allegation that their lives will he endangered. It is said that the sultan was much annoyed when he learned that the Albanian troopa had been diapatc hed to Adrian- ople. A Marqul* Tolls Why They Wlnh to Kiicht the ltiiit*lniiN. An interview had recently In Paris with an unnamed Japanese marquis is quoted widely In Europe as being the best expression of Japanese ambitions and desires that has yet been made, says the New York Commercial Adver tiser. He said: ”We desire to enter into the lists with Russia because that would assure our race an equality with European na tions. Whether you like it or not, you are Influenced by the racial type to which we belong and by our color. You cannot conceive the idea that we are civilized and as powerful as yourselves, that we are your equals in the econom- ie. military and social sphere. When the international expeditions were or ganized during the late war in China the command of the different columns was intrusted in turn to English. Ger man, French and Italian generals. None of you would have been willing to place European troops under the or ders of a Japanese general. “Yet I ask you, why not? Are we in ferior brethren like Darwin’s gorillas or civilized men having the same claim to social rights as yourselves? Well, then, we desire this war if only to con quer our place in the world, even if it were to bring us no material advan tage. If we have the misfortune to postpone this inevitable conflict Russia will prepare for it in such a manner as to become formidable. That Is the reason why we wish to fight at once.” Crops of Corn May Suffer Considerable Damage. Omaha, Neb.. Sept. 1C.—Frost was general last night over Nebraska and western Iowa. Two-thirds of the counties of this state report frosts, but in a very large portion of them it was light owing to cloudy skies. The effect on the corn, crop is uncertain, but in most localities the crop is be lieved to b« beyond severe injury. To Have n GoNpel Ship. The Rev. Frank Sandford of the Shiloh. Holy Ghost and Us society is going to seek converts in foreign lands In his own ship, says a special dis patch from Lisbon Falls, Me., to the New York Tribune. He has been of fered sufficient funds to build an ocean going vessel which will carry a large number of passengers, and he will sail for Europe to convert the “heathen” over there. Ho has made plans of the kind of vessel he wants and if unable to buy will advertise for bids. A Lofty Tower. The crystal palace tower at the St. Louis fair will be 1,050 feet high. In September. When September breezes blow O'er the landscape's pleasant miles Maidens chatter in a row Of the coming winter styles. Then the matrons sit and spin Yarns about their family trees Or the social sets they’re In Or about such things as these. And the youths for glory thirst On the gory football field, Or where bowlers do their worst Or where other spiels are spieled. But the badgered family man With a look that's full of care Doth his coal bill fiercely scan. Swear for fair and tear his hair. --Chicago News.
