TILLMAN TO BE THERE.
It is now an assured fact that
enator Tillman will speak at
Heath Spring on the 23d inst.,
next Wednesday. A letter to
Mr. R. L. Hicklin", president of
the Farmers' Institute for this
county, settles the matter. The
senator will speak at Elberton,
Ga., on the 22d and will that
afternoon board the vestibule
train on the S. A. L. and come to
Van Wyck where he will spend
the night. Next morning he will
be driven to Springdell where he
will catch the south bound train
on the O. It. & C., which will
take hiiji to lleath Spring in time
to speak. Mr. Ilicklin telegraphed
the senator his part of
this arrangement Monday. Van
Wyck will have within her gates
next Tuesday night the most distinguished
guest perhaps that

4 We commend to your attention
the statement of Richland's super
visor as to his experience in roa 1
improvement. It. is worth the
careful attention of all interested
in the improvement of the public
roads..* llis method of claying
sandy roads and sanding clay
roads, and the cost of the work "is
the burden of the paper. It is
copied into this issue of the Kn
' TKRPHtSK with the hope that some
of Lancaster's roads may be si 111
ilarly worked.

The terrilic wind which accompanied
the recent storm destroyed
the crops and demolished a
number ot houses and caused
great loss of human life. A large
number of cattle were killed.
The storm was most severe in
the central part of the island and
along the southern coast. Three
hundred bodies have been buried
in the city of Ponce, and it is estimated
that 2.000 persons were
drowned in the Ponce district.
The number of people of the
lower classes loss is not known,
but it is certain that there were
few fatalities among the people
of the better class and none
among the Americans.
The work of clearing away the
debris progresses slowly.
Senor Luis tiautier has been
appoihted Alcade, the former incumbent
of the office having been
deposed on account of negligence
Considerable unrest has been
manifested among the people and
a cavalry patrol has been established.
The water supply has
been restored.
Daring the progress of the
storm the municipal hospital was
\
wrecked and its patients were removed
to the military hospital.
Yabucoa, Adjuntas and Humacoa

instances eptire villages swept ]
out of existence. One hundred j

The rentier* of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known tp the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation jf the disease,
! and giving the patient strength by
I building up the constitution and as- j
sisting nature in tloing its work. The
