three miles an hour with extreme We

At that hour the annemonotor cups

the wind reached even greater We

The hurricane was the most severe
within the past seventy-fve years. The
total loss at Hatteras alone will amount
to from $4,000 to $40, 900. The fishing
business, which is the principal indus

swept away.
1t is an interesting fact that the
highest wind velocity previously re-

Atlanta, Aug. 20 Joseph Carroll, a
negro who last May shot Josephine AL
exander, negress, to death, was today
hanged.
The curious feature of the execution
was the fact that the black cap used
was made by the wife of the condemned

She stoutly maintained that he was
guiltless, and declared that ii he was

to have the gloomy satisfaction of hav.

Mr.. Hill at this point was led to q line OF
thought In which he demonstrated the pos
sibflity OF the adoption Of an elevator sys
tenn in the Northwest which would enable
shippers to receive at points OF delivery
dates at the time Of sale OF wheat to coun-
try elevators showing grade, etc. and which
would serve as collateral IN all banks and

important subject appeared in the Globe

RESOLUTIONS.
At the close Of Mr.. Hills remarks Igna-
thus Donnelly offered the following resolu-
ton Of thanks and approval Of President
Hills expression of his views on the sub
Ject discussed by him:
Resolved, That the thanks Of this con-
ventiQn are hereby extended to James ].
Hill, Esq, for his address upon topics OF
first Importance to the state and the whole
country.
Resolved. That the generous agricultural
lists of the United States have ever since
the formation Of this government been tax
ing themselves to encourage manufactures.
until the infant industries have grown to
such proportions that they threaten to
overay and smother their affectionate
parents.
Resolved, That agriculture, while furnish
ing the great bulk Of the products of this
country, has been practically ignored by tho
general government.
Resolved, That the farmers Of this coun-
try can produce wheat. corn, meat, cotton
and wool enough to feed and clothe two
more nations equal in size and population
to itself, therefore, 1t becomes absolutely
necessary that we should reach every part
OF the civilized world to find market for
our vast productions
Resolved, therefore, That We call upon our
delegation in congress to make a bold and
persistent fight for fair play to the farmers
and that as the first step thereto We demand
bounties on the transportation of all
products to the Orient, as suggested by Mr..
Hill in his address today
Resolved, That We call upon our whole
population to put the pressure Of their earn
est demands behind our congressman to
that end. Upon this we believe depends he
future development Of Minnesota and the
prosperity Of our whole people.

READY FOR THE POULTRY SHOW
Carrier Pigeons Used During the
Intc War to He shown

The National Poultry and Pigeon Asso-
citation will open its annual exhibition in
the National Rifles ArmoTy, in G Street,
near Ninth, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The association has given three previous
exhibitions in Washington, but this years
display of fine fowls is expected TO CON-
pletely outstrip all its predecessors.
Chickens will be the feature OF the show
although there will also be on exhibition
turkeys, geese. ducks and pigeons. Birds
Will be shown representing nearly if not
quite all the first-Class poultry yards in
the country.
The carrier pigeons will be one of the
popular attractions OF the exhibit. These
pigeons were used by the American bat
tleships during the recent war with
Spain, and carried many messages. Each
day during the show the method of at
taching messages to these pigeons will be
illustrated, and the messages sent by them
during the war viii be on exhibition.
This is a unique feature OF the pou try
display. and will doubtless attract con-
siderable interest, since many are curious
to learn the details Of the method OF
transmitting messages by these birds of
the air.
More than two thousand entries have
already been received Tor the poultry and
pigeon show. and the managers OF tn en-
terprise say that there is every reason to
believe that it will he cne of the most
successful affairs of the kind ever given.
The National Rifles Arnory has already
been prepared for the reception of the
| many fine birds to be- shown during the
week. The exhibits will arrive during the
| day. and by tomorrow morning all will be
| in readiness for the reception Of visitors.
| The officers OF the local IOultry assoeia-
| ton are:
John l.. Waggaman, president; H. A.
