Ten hens in house that gives them

twenty that are crowed; hence, one not
only gets fewer eggs when there are too
many hens together, bat the cost OF the

THE NEWS GROWS WORSE.
NEARLY TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE
DROWNED.

The Damage Estimated at Five Mil
lion Dollars-The Greatest Disas, er
Ever Known on the Shores of Our
COuntry-A Repetition OF Johns
town.
Special to the Atlanta Constitution.
NEW ORLEANS, October 4.--Nearly
1000 killed and five million dollars
worth of property annihilated is the
record Of the great gulf storm in Louisi-
ana. There has never been anything
approaching 1t since the country was
settled. More than half the population
in the region over which the hurricane
swept are dead. Everything is wreck
ed. One house in ten is standing, and
the surviving population is left in the
most destitute condition, without food
or even clothing, for most of them were
sleeping in their beds when their
houses were crushed by the wind or
the waves. More than dozen relief
expeditions went down from New Or
leans to-day to distribute food among
the survivors. Some OF them had had
nothing to eat since Monday and to-
day an appeal was made to Collector of
Customs Wilkinson to let the revenue
vessels pick up the survivors or carry
aid to them.
The death list is already above 1,SOO
and we have heard from only portion
of the devastated country. 1t Is such
network Of islands, bayous, lakes and
swamps that 1t will be week before
the relief boats can traverse all the
waterways and discover the full extent
of the damage done. The worst, how
ever, is known, for all the large settle
ments have been heard from and it is
only the smaller ones scattered along
the bayous and interior lakes that will
have to be visited.
THE WATER ROSE FIFTEEN FEET.
The loss of life In the parish of Pla-
qnemine, lying on both sides OF the
Mississippi, has been heavy in property
| and 123 are dead. But the great los:
was in the interior settlements on the
gulf coast and the bayous leading to it.
The country there Is mainly sea marsh,
almost destitute of trees. The highest
point Is only seven feet above the sea
level and the greater portion only
three feet above. Therefore. when
the storm piled the waves up fifteer
feet they swept over the islands and
ridges, carrying everything before
them. There have been several simi
lar disasters on the coastal Lost
island, whore 286 people lost their
lives |; at Johnston's bayous, six years
ago, when the loss was 220-but Mon
days disaster far surpassed these il
horror. Tho news has come in slowly
Monday 1t was known that the storm
had been very destructive in Plaque
mine parish and the loss of life was
estimated as high as thirty-fve. Tues
day the news came of the destruction
! Of tho Bayou Cook settlement and the
deaths were thought to be as many as
250. To-day news came In quick sue

SUFFERING IN MIDWAY PLAISANCE.
Chill autumn winds have brought
much sickness and caused many deaths
as we'll as untold suffering among the
Orientals on Midway. Stoves have
been put up and every effort made to
alleviate their misery. Hot beef tea
quinine and whiskey are the principal
articles of diet. The Egyptians and
the little people from Java suffer most,
and go about arrayed In the most fan
tastic combinations.
A physician Is in constant attend
ance in the South Sea Island village
and each dusky warrior Is as carefully
attended as the highestpriced thorough
bred. Dancing girls wear far-away
look as they huddle togeth er and talk
OF their sunny homes in the East.
Even the animals In Hagenbeck's are
affected and one particularly sad case
is q monster lion that is slowly dy-
ing OF consumption. The spirit of the
beast is broken, and he longs for a
caress or kind words while waiting the
end he appears to realize.

GIVE Us MORE OF THE SAME SORT.
We heard two farmers talking q few
days since, and one was Dragging on
what fine hogs he had-stating that he
had the finest lot now he ever owned,
and that he had to quit feeding some
OF them during the summer months for
fear they could not stand the heat and
would die, they were so fat. He went
on to state that what his mules and
cows wasted from the feed trough
would keep two or three hogs fat.
In reply to this the other farmer
stated that he would kill five or six
hogs this winter that would net from
250 to $50 pounds each, also that he
had not bought meat but one year in
twelve or fourteen years-and that
year the cholera killed all his hogs.
This is what we need in this country

Juan Burger, the 13-year old son
of q citizen of Kokomo, Ind, died from
the direct effects of cigarette smoking.
In his room were found 988 empty
cigarette boxes he was saving up to
send to the manufacturers for u prize.
He had come within twelve OF tho

and claimed the victim-of narcotic
poisoning-and yet, with these fatal

effort to prevent their children from

offer a premium for the murder Of

estimate. There is no doubt that the
damage will reach at least q quarter OF
q million dollars.
This is very conservative estimate
and may be largely exceeded. The
Plant Line steamship Florida, and the
Fruit Importing Co.'s steamer, Nicara-
qua, the former from Tampa, aud the
latter from Bluefeld, arrived today
about thirty~six hours overdue. They
report having encountered the storm
about thirty miles off Mobile bar, which
is said to have been about the centre of
the storm. They report that the wind
was blowing a hundred miles an hour,
and the waves running mountain high.
Both steamers rode the storm out with

lam sorry to have 10 call the attention
of NV patrons and the public to the fact
that have lust discovered that there are
n number of cheap rate agents at work
In Richmond and vicinity who are using
my name without my authority.
Their method is to secure at least part

be enlarged. They allege that this work
is done at my gallery, No. ll2 north Ninth

THIS is not so
Ny business increases so rapidly that we
with difficulty keep pace with 1t; thus you

them and state that in order TO secure the
