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. One man was seri
ously wounded and his assailant, pur
sued by policemen, d!4 not halt until
he was brought to the ground by a
bullet.
The battle, according to the police,
was the result of an old feud between
two hands on the East Side. Hundreds
of persons in the neighborhood were
aroused by the shots and) two police
men. saw the gang running away. They
found a nuan on the sid%walk siT'er-
ing apparently from severe wounds.
Leaving the injured man they started
in pursuit of the one whom they be
lieved to have caused his wound. A
running fight ensued and the man
finally fe’U with a shot through the
body. When the police returned! to
the scene of the fight they found that
the first victim had crawled away.
Later a man was picked up in the Bow
ery severely wounded.
Following the usual custom among
the roughs who are Identified with the
“Cherry Hill gang” the wounded man
refused to talk to the police about the
fight.
JACK FROST IN THE WEST.
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.
The meetings here are so successful
that Colonel Holz has decided to omit
Hindman and Hazard from the itin
erary and remain here over Thursday.
The horseback ride of 35 miles over
the mountains with a local guide to
Salyersville will be made Friday and
continued thence for three weeks, or
ganizing local detachments of the Sal
vation army at different points. The
religious services as well as the in
strumental and vocal music command
close and respectful attention every
where.

Referred to Arbitration.
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 16.—AlfHer
being in session several days, the joint
conference of the coal miners and op-1
egators of East Tennessee and south
ern Kontucky, has referred the wag<
scale question to a sub-committee ol
five operators and five miners. Wl B.
Wilson, secretary of the United Mln«
Workers of America, is one of the mi-
ners’ committeemen. He is here at i
tending the conference. The commit
tee is not expected to report an agree
ment for several days. It >« under
stood the miners want an increase ol
about 30 per cent for laborers, 15 pet
cent for “pickers,” and 11 Ms per cent
for yardage work, opening new veins.
The operators, it is said-, contend that
these demands are too high. If the
conference cannot reach an agreement
on the scale, the matter will be arbi-
traxud. The scale will date from Sept.
1, 1908.
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.
