Many ships Were wrecked at Key West
and Some Lives Lost.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 29.-Wire
communication has been restored to all
portions of Florida visited by the storm,
and by Monday all damage to the rail-
roads will have been repaired and trains
will be running on schedule time. Dis
patches tonight from Titusville, Jupiter
and other east coast points, where the
storm was supposed to have been most
severe, state that no lives were lost, and
that the damage to property is not as
great as in the storm of last year. A
Especial cablegram was received tonight
from Key West, which is the frat news
from that city since last Sunday. The
cablegram is as follows:
''The wind commenced blowing Sun
day afternoon at about 4 40 O'Clock, and
continued until Tuesday night, blowing
the hardest at between IL and II Tues
day, when its velocity registered 120
miles per hour. There was great des-
truction to shipping along the islands.
The wreckage extends from Dry Tortu-
gas to Cape Florida. No estimate of the
loss of life or of damage to- property can
be made at present. Six men have been
picked up and brought into this port
since Wednesday, two of them severely
bruised. The French barkentine Cam
bronne, from. Jamaica, loaded with log
wood, was driven up within 15 yards of
the shore. The crew was taken off by
the Key West Wrecking Company. The
schooner Lilly White is supposed to be
lost, having left Punta Rosa Sunday
night. Monday night, she was seen off
the Northwest lighthouse in company
with the schooner Hero, which has
since come into port dismasted.. The
French bark Mareillo, lying in the har-
Dor, was capslzed. The large building
of E. H. Cato, on the south beach was
blown down, and part of the roof of the
United States naval department build
ing was blown off. The yacht Sophia
was wrecked off Taldunches Monday
afternoon about 8 o'clock, and is being
repaired, preparatory to being brought
to this city. There is a large vessel,
name unknown, bottom up at Turtle
Harbor. The German bark NADIA, from
New Orleans, for Lisbon, laden with
-four and staves, stranded on Long Key
bank and is total loss. The wreckers
are saving the cargo. All the bath
houses along the water front are washed
away, and many trees uprooted. Other.
wise very little damage was done to the
city.

to Civilize the Land.
Guthrie, o. T., Sept 10-The growth
of Oklahoma has been one of the most
remarkable in the history of American
territories. A few years ago it was a
barren wilderness, inhabited only by
savage Indians and lawless white men;
today it is knocking at the doors of
congress for admission to the Union
rs n state. When it is admitted 1t will
have u larger Afro-American popula-
ton than any state of its size and pop
ulatiOn in the Union outside the south
ern states. The AfrO-American pop
ulation of Oklahoma numbers 10000,
there being S.56G in Blaine county A.
600 in KingfiSher county, S,4OO in Lin
coin county, 10000 In Logan county,
the remainder being scattered in all
the other counties. The total property
holdings of these people is S6,353,326,
divided as follows: SJ,S4S, 100 repre-
scented by 5S4 $40 acres of farm land;
$37 400 represented by town property,
and 1881, 1876 represented by person
atty.
The land in Oklahoma is largely raw
and the price | place upon 1t is eX-
tremcly low. Settlers have hardly be-
gun to build deliberately and the ma
y
them no personality worth mention
ing, save their teams, when they first
came; some came even tcamleSs. The
! first personality valuation is, therefore,
very low. If you could have seen this
| barren country, however, on April %,
1889, then gone away and dropped
down upon us today you would be
wonde struck at the metamorphosls.
| The dugout, the sod house and the
shacks are being rapidly replaced by
beautiful and comfortable homes for
man and beast.
Most of the AfroAmcricans in Okla
| homa went there from the southern
states. Tennessee furnished very
| large number, and these are constant
| ly drawing others after them, so it is
possible that when the territory is ad-
| mittcd - the Union 1t Will have an
| Afro American population of 100000.
In several instances when these men
have been menaced by unfriendly In
dams and whites, they have shown
that the courage and determination
which carried them into the territory
and enabled them to secure homes in
| the wilderness were sufficient to pro
tect them and their property

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
Il has given satisfaction to millions and
net with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
ncys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

A few nights ago, on train coming
in on the Michigan Central road, the
porter of Il sleeping car aroused half
Il dozen of the male sleepers to ask If
they had anything to cure IL case of
collie. A drummer for a city hardware
house fumbled around in his coat and
finally said:
Here's II box of soda minis which
may help him. He can use the whole
box and be hanged to him, for he's
no business to have colic"
Nothing further was heard of the
case until morning, when n strapping
young man. with far West look in
his hair, came into the sleeper with the
mint box in his hand and inquired for
the drummer and said:
'"Took 'em all but one, and they
smashed my collie right in the eye.
How much to payT
Nothing, sir. I'm only too glad to
have been of service to you"
When the other had gone the drum
mer opened the box and we saw his
hair trying to climb up.
Great Scott, boys, what do you
think" he gasped.
.'What is it?'
81 gave him the wrong box. and he's
swallowed eleven bone collar buttons!'

NOT PRONOUNCED CORRECTLY
Some Common Errors In Placing
Accent in the Vowels.

Accent In the Vowels.
Why should so many persons say
spontanightity instead of spontanee-
ity?
There is no excuse for saying ap-pri-
cot for Apricot, or eck-quable for &C.
quable or ERIN for Erin, or assifidity
for asafetida, or Ven-zr-ee-la for Ven-e-
zu-el-a, or Adon-is Short o. for Ado
mis- Qong o., or Dian-na for Diana
dong AZ, or mat-tron or PATRON, and
so on. 1t is just as easy to accent the
last syllable as the first in "pretense."
Some persons call bomb ''boom" in
stead of bum" because the spelling
seems to warrant it, but when they
call tedious "tejus" they have no such
apparent warrant. In the West and
South the "i' in Isolate is made long
and nearly everywhere educated per-
sons say truck-u-lent for true-cu-lent,
a-men-able for a-meen-able, lev-ver for
lee-ver and give the sound of III" in
up instead of"i'' in 1t in such words
as squirrel, stirrup and strip. There
are many words in which the accent is
persistently misplaced by persons who
know better. 1t is common to put the
accent on the second syllable of per-
emptory instead of on the first, on the
first instead of the second syllable of
coquetry, on the second instead of the
first syllable of exemplary, etc. Many
persons place the accent on the first
instead of the second syllable of in
quiry and do not give the 'i'' its prop
err length. The accent in gladiolus
should be on the second syllable, with
long 81" but many place 1t on the
third. They say hy-meen-e-al, with the
accent on the .'meen," when it should
be hy-mee-ne-al, with the accent on
