Ton Deaths in the sabine Pass, ana
Many Are Missing.
Kansas Ci.y, Mo, Sept. ia special
to The Star says: Sabine Pass suffered
greatly from the storm. All of the
small shipping at both the new and
old town was destroyed. The old town
was wrecked and many of the larger
vessels badly damaged. Only the large
buildings in the new town remain
standing. During the storm six feet
Of water covered the town.
Ten deaths have been reported up
to this time, and many are missing,
Four tugs went down with their crews,
but the United States life saving crew
stationed at the pass succeeded IN
saving many lives.
When the terrific wind storm struck
the town it was accompanied by a
brisk rain, which soon made rivers OF
the streets. This, together with the
high waves breaking over the banks
Of Sabine lake, caused fear that the
town was about to be visited by a tida
wave. There was a rush for the depot
and the evening local train to Beau
mont was soon filled with excited wO-
men and children. An hour after the
storm, however, the water had al
drained off, and today the streets are
dry.

story. Health means strong nerves and

bringing good looks and amiability.
A woman worn and wearied by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find zest in any
duty or amusement. Life is all one dead
monotonous gloom to her. On her face
is written the story of weakness and pain.
The wholesotneness Of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fullness the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks luster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine
tenths Of womanly sickness in the organs
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the
thought of consulting a physician on
such matters, A natural feeling of mod
esty makes them dread the examination,
and subsequent stereotyped treatment by
"local application" on which most
doctors insist.
