Good Invention.
rCIto.~~ Natl

A California man claims to have discov.
cred new process for tanning leather
which will render it impervious to waie
and yet leave it soft and pliable, thus max
ing pair of shoes last about five times as
long as at present Of course the leather
men affect to think this ridiculous and alb
surd. They couldn't be expected to look
kindly upon an invention which benefits
the public. 1t may be that they are right,
bat the people will only believe them
when the California man has had a square
show. We seldom have chance to get
the best of manufacturers and tradesmen,
and now that we have one we will play it
for all it is worth.

THE COAST STORM.
Great Destruction OF Property Every
Where.

NEW YORK, September 10.-Reports
from the upper Hudson show that the tide
to. day was the highest for many years. At
Puughkeepsie the water covered the docks
for nearly 100 feet from the usual water
edge. A severe storm is raging on the
river tonight. The strong northeast gale
and high tides that have been prevailing
for the past two days have caused great
damage along the coast of Long Island.
At Rockaway beach the tide reached an
unparalleled height. To-day bathing
houses were washed away and the water
broke in over the verandas of hotels. A
short stretch of railroad running between
Rockaway was submerged, portion Of it
undermined, and trains had to be discon-
tinued The bridge between Arveno and
ROckaway beach was carried away. All
the small islands in Jamaica Bay were
covered with water. Scarcely anything
can be seen of Hog Island to day at high
tide, and all the buildings on the island
have been washed away.
Fire Island and Oak Island were cut of
from all communication with the main
land by boat or telegraph from Babylon
shore. Great waves could be seen breaking
over both islands during the afternoon.
1t was rumored that four cottages on Oak
Island, occupied by families from Babylon,
had been carried away. An effort was
made to send boat from Babylon to the
assistance of the occupants of the cottages,
but the boat was beaten back by the wind
and tide. At late hour no definite news
had been received concerning their fate
Sag Harbor was flooded and the water COW
cred the Long Island railroad tracks and
yard. All the towns along the shore re-
port more or less damage. The small craft
anchored in the harbors and bays were
driven ashore and in some instances COM
pletely destroyed. The telegraph and tele-
phone wires are down all over the island

AT a meeting held at the Ottawa Chau-
tauqua assembly, it was decided to hold
the annual meeting of the Kansas State
Temperance Union, at Topeka, Tuesday,
August IS. 1889, at O'Clock p. m. All
church organizations, Sunday schools
and temperance societies are requested
to send delegates. Each society is enti-
tied to three delegates. All friends of
prohibition are invited to attend and par
ticipate in the proceedings. Officers will
be elected for the ensuing year. In view
of late elections in eastern states, it seems
imperative that the friends of prohibition
should meet and state to the country the
facts in regard to prohibition in Kansas,
and declare their increasing confidence
in the law, which has done so much to
redeem the state from the greatest evil of
our times.

A murder occurred at Colby Wednes-

able to learn, are as follows: Two Ger

learn. got into quarrel over the price of
some small grain, hot words ensued, and
they soon clinched and fell. The top
man choked the other in horrible shape,
and in the scutfie the under man manag-

cleaved the others head entirely from his

there never will be during the life of any

movement will only result in opening up
the old wounds; in turning loose the bad
blood of communities; in setting neigh
bors against neighbors when all should
be working together for the common
good. The men who are at the back of
the movement have not the least hopes
of success of the movement throughout
the state, but are only working for per-
