Loss of Life Heavy,


around Brunswick are that from 30
to 100 lives were lost by Sundays storm,
which devastated parts of the Georgia
and Florida coast. At least $1,OO0,OO0
in financial loss was entailed The ma
tional quarantine station is gone, and
all the inmates are thought to be lost.
Reports from all the rice plantations
for 30 miles around state they are
ruined and the lives of many workers
lost. The water rose 13 feet above high
water mark, and the wind blew such
terrific gale that no one could seek
shelter in the trees. Thousands of
dead cattle are floating down stream
and lying piled up in the marsh. Such
u disaster has not visited the south At
lantic coast since the sea island
troubles, and it is feared now that
when all reports are in the number of
dead will be enormously increased.
Campbell Island Swept Away.
Savannah, Ga, Oct. 5.-Complete de-
tails from Brunswick and surround
ing country are impossible because of
the prostration of the telegraph ard
telephone systems. Campbell island, 12
miles from Darien. on the Althamra
river, is said to be completely swept
away, and only three persons succeed
Cd in getting off the island. There is
no definite information as to the popu-
]ation of the island, and estimates of
the number supposed to have perished
there range from 20 to so. The popula-
tion was made up wholly of colored
truck growers.
At Fernandina, Fla.
Fernandina, Fla, Oct. 4.-The most
severe hurricane that Fernandina has
ever experienced has caused loss esti-
mated at $500,000. Three deaths are re-
ported, father and two children. The
tide rose so high that it extended for
four blocks up into the city and homes
and buildings of all descriptions were
flooded. Women and children were
taken out of the houses on the river
front in boats. Four large churches in
the city were wrecked, to say moth
ing of the halls and residences which
we're blown away. The streets for four
blocks up into the city are blocked
with wreckage.
Eighty Bodies Found.
Savannah, Ga, Oct. 6.-The Morning
News correspondent at Brunswick
wires this bare statement: "Martin
Anderson, master of the steamer
Hesse, from Darien, Ga. reports that
so bodies have been found on Buffers

to 1OO." Buffers island was populated
mostly by negroes.
Damages Estimated at $5,OOO,OOO.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 6.-Reports from
various points of Georgia indicate that
the storm of Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday was disastrous to the cotton

continued wind and the driving rain
beat out the open cotton and ruined it.

THEY'RE HOLLOW FRAUDS.
Look Out for These Honest Farmers with
Wind and Wood for Sale.

Among the thousand and one schemes
to defraud. people that are being worked
at the present time, one of the cleverest
and most profitable was tried last week in
Thomaston by two men who claimed to
belong In Portland. They came into
town Thursday morning dressed in the
usual garb of the wood haulers a1d hav-
ing general "from away-back" look.
Each man drove horse attached to a
sled equipped with wido seat and high
sides. 10 the back of the seat and ex-
tending to the bottom Of the sled riece
of canvas was attached which kept the
WOOD. from going.into the forward end of
the-sled, and also prevented one from
looking from the side or rear from MOTTO
ing,that the end was empty. Their mode
Of operating was to purchase foot of
stove wood for each team and SO load it
into the team that it would appear like a
large amount, being careful that the top
was regularly and carefully placed in
tiers Their next move was to find GUS
toners. which they were very successful
in doing.
Calling at house.they would direct at

that they had come long distance and

customer. seemed to hesitate they would
discount a dollar or more, which gener-
ally brought the customer. By 10 o'clock
Friday they had disposed OF IL loads,
which cost them So. but from which they
realized probably $25. By this time some
of the purchasers had discovered that they
had been taken in and reported the mat
the parties bought the wood, who at once
declined to furnish them more. Their
customers consisted principally of women
who are not supposed to understand buy
ing wood.
The men claimed to have worked all of
the cities and larger towns between
Thomaston, and p ortland. the last place
being Rockland. 1t was profitable
business.

THE BooKBINDER's ART.

In the many wars which devastated the
earth the conquerors often ruthlessly de-
stroyed the libraries of the vanquished;
and where volumes were saved it was due
to the richness of the bindings. The
Florentines destroyed the books of the
AIedici; the precious treasures of the Vat.
lean persisted at the sack of Rome by the
Constable de Bourbon; but in many in
stances the richness and beauty of the
decoration saved from destruction vol
umes which now enrich the national COL
lections Of the world. Today in the auc-
ton marts of Europe books realizs enor-
nous prices on account of their binding.
Volumes which are by no means unique
or extremely rare, II offered for sale with
a binding executed for Grollier, Canevari,
or from the workshops Of Du Suell or LIE
Gascon, will excite among wealthy collec-
tors ''the Tantaluses who can never
ouench their thirst o fierce COMPETE
ton, and realize for their owners princely
sums. A copy of La Fontaine's "Contes
ct ouvelles en- Vers," bound by Derome
for Nine. de Pompadour, realized 1900
francs OF this sum the purchaser paid
at least 1 600 francs for tho binding. "In
some respects, wrote the gentle Ella,
1.-THE better book is. the less it demands
from binding. Fielding, Smollett, Sterne
and all that class of perpetually selfre-
productive volumes-Great Natures Ster-
eotypes-we see them individually perish
with less regret, because we know the
copies of them to be eterne. But where a
book is at once both good and rare
where the individual is almost the species.
and when that perishes

Such book, for instance, as the life
of the Duke of Newcastle, by his Ouch

DIR. WURTn'S OPINION.
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI.
CINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy fol
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Stomach
TrOuble

DR.. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There il
none which is certain to be SO valuable
and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach
remedy; | ray far reaching, because peo
pie little realize how important a sound
stomach and vigorous digestion is to
every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of con-
sumption, heart disease, Bright's disease,
diabetes, nervous prostration, liver troub
les; why is this so? Simply because every
nerve, muscle and tissue in orr bodies is
created and nourished from the food we
eat Ii that food is, by reason of weak
stomach, compelled to lie for hours a
sour. fermenting mass of half digested
food, it poisons the blood and nervous
system, creates gas which distends the
stomach and bowels, causing pressure on
the heart, lungs and other organs and
seriously impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct at
tention is not the nerves, nor heart, nor
lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach, the
first cause of all the mischief.
EThe remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic. but
a remedy which will digest the food, in
crease thesfow of gastric juice, absorb the
gases. and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will accomplish exactly this result in any
case of stomach trouble, because these
tablets are composed of the digestive
acids, aseptio pepsin, Golden Seal and
Bismuth. pleasant to taste, and not being
a patent medicine, can be used by anyone
with perfect safety, 1 believe Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form of
indigestion and stomach trouble except
cancer of stomach.

Tablets are sold by druggists at. so CENTS

MESSAGE OF HELP FOR SICK
CHILDREN.

1t is a fact that our people have hereto
fore not had the same opportunity for
having their children who suffer from
chronic or lingering complaints treated
and cured by eminent specialists in child
ren's diseases as do the residents of the
great cities where such skilled physicians
reside. DR.. Greene of 81 Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, who is beyond doubt the
most successful specialist in curing di-
seases of children, offers to give free con-
sultation by mail in all cases of childrens
complaints. Write DR.. Greene immedi-
ately about your child. 1t certainly can
be cured.

The bankruptcy bill has passed the
House and will now go to conference be-
tween the two houses. The reason of
this is that the ideus of the House and
Senate are very much opposed on this
subject. At the last session Of this Con-
gress the Senate passed the Nelson bill,
named after Senator Knute Nelson, of
Minnesota. This bill provides for volun-
tary bankruptcy, that is it provides a
way whereby the debtor may get rid of
his debts, but does not provide any way
into bankruptcy if the latter is seen to be
wasting the assets. The bankruptcy laws
OF Maine. and most Of the more advanced
States do allow this. The House has
adopted an amendment to the Nelson bill
by striking out all after the enact1ng
clause and inserting new BILL which is
called the Henderson substitute, after
Mr. HENDERSON, of Iowa, chairman nj the
House Committee on Judiciary. Ih1s

emnt. AS there are paid during Febru-
ary some interest charges coming over
from January, there may be no surplus
for the month, but the surplus is sure to
be here before July.

THE SUFFRAGE.

The election held in this Town
Monday for the adoption or rejec-
ton of the new charter, and for
the election of five trustees, has
given a fine illustration of the fact
that the ballot is given to too
many persons who are not quail
fed. Some of the voters cannot
today say who they voted for, and
the balance take no interest in the
welfare of the community in which
they live.
OF vote of l76 only 81 voted
for or against the new charter, the
other IS proved by their vote that
they had more interest in filling
the petty town offices than the
progress and prosperity of the
town.
The sooner that the intelligence
and property owners realize the
fact that the improvident shiftless
and illeterate is danger to good
government and to society, the
better it will be. because such per-
sons should not be given the right
of suffrage, they are as dangerous
with it as a child with q loaded
weapon, they cannot use this prl'
vilege for the good of their OWL
and the community in which they
live, they are dangerous.
More than ever We are convin'
ced that the right of suffrage
should be put only in the hands
of the educated and the owner Of
property, because their own inter
est will force them to use this
right for their own betterment,
and not to help this one or that
one to grab at the public funds to
which they contribute nothing.
