URGENT APPEAL
TO THE WORLD.
FINANCIAL LOSS $50, 900, 900
From 5000 to 5000 Dead-Ac.
CumuIatiOns of so Years
Swept Away.

Austin, Texas, Sept. 15--Gov.
Sayers received last night the
following official report from
Mayor Jones of Galveston as to
conditions there
Galveston, Tex, Sept. IA.
Hon. Jos. D. Sayers, Governor
After the fullest possible inves-
tigation here we feel justified in
saying to you and through you to
the American people that no
similar disaster has overtaken any
community or section III the his
tory of the country. The loss of
life is appalling and can never
be accurately determined. 1t is
estimated at 5000 to 5000 peo
pie. There is not a home in
Galveston that has not been in.
jured while thousands have been
destroyed. The property loss
represents accumulations of 60
years ana more millions than can
be safely stated. Under these
conditions with 10000 homeless
and destitute with the entire
population under a stress and
strain difficult to realize, we ap.
peal directly in the hour of our
great emergency to the sympathy
and aid of mankind.
Walter Jones, Mayor.
r. B. Hawley, M. Of @.
McKibbin, Com. Opt. Tex.
The information reaching here
from an official source states that
reports of promiscous shooting of
vandals at Galveston have been
exaggerated.

ing In a deposit over a great por
tion of the city of Shiny mud.
Not only did no sickness result,
but the cyclone disturbance cut
short the yellow fever epidemic
and but few cases ever occurred
thereafter. In 1875 and 1886,
when there were severe storms
and no overflow, no increase in
sickness occurred.
Several thousand men are at
work clearing away the debris on
the beach. One hundred and fifty
bodies were discovered in the
wreckage and burned yesterday.
No attempt is now being made to
identify recovered bodies. In.
deed, most of them are found
naked and mutilated and beyond
recognition.
In some quarters of the city
today tho water works company
was serving customers on the
| second stories. This is taken as
indicating the rapid headway
being made in putting the plant
again in operation. The British
steamers Norma and American
steamer Alamo have been floated.
The street railway company suf-
fered a loss of quarter of a
million and it's entire system is
torn to pieces. An effort is to be
made temporarily to operate cars
with mules.
During the late hours of the
evening decided improvement
was made In the city's condition.
Electric light wires had been
strung for several days as rapidly
as the linemen could work. and
in the evening the current was
turned on. The lights were small
incandescant globes and they
were high upon poles, but they
were numerous and relieved the
darkness that has lowered over
the city for the past week. The
streets heretofore have not per
mitted the passage of street cars
and bicycles. In different parts
of the city much progress was
made in clearing up debris.
The waters of the Gulf Low
cover about 100000 square
feet Of ground that was formerly
part Of Galveston. The loss has
been suffered entirely on the
south side of the city, where the
first residences were built facing
the Gulf and where the land was
held at higher valuation than
in any other part Of the city,
with the exception of the busi-
ness district. For three miles
along the shore of the Gulf this
choice residence property ex-
tended, but the shore line was so
changed by the storm that at all
low tide the water is $50 feet
farther up along the entire three
miles.

RECOVERED HER TEETH.
Chase of n Philadelphia Woman Aft
er a Pug That Had Taken
Her MoInrs.

Philadelphians on Diamond street
were very chinterestedt the other day
inwat ching the chase of ayoung woman
stylishly dressed after pug dog, re-
ports an exchange of that city. The
wind was high and during a gust that
came around a corner the young wom-
an sneezed, gently at first, and then
with some degree of violence. \ cry
of alarm escaped her lips as something
resembling a string of pearls fell from
her mouth to the pavement. For an
instant the object glittered on the side
walk, when the frisky dog bounded to
the spot, picked up the glistening thing
and boupded off again.
Flushing, the girl, in her perplexity,
cast wistful glance at the dog in the
distance. Quickly she placed her trem-
bling hand over her mouth and kept II
there, while she started in pursuit of
the dog. The chase was exciting.
Pedestrians paused to watch. After
many turns, rushes, lodges and halts
the pretty maiden caught the dog at
Tenth street. The animal fell pros
trate at her commands.
Drop it, Fido; drop it," she cried.
The dog obeyed, opened its mouth
and dropped upon the pavement with
great reluctance the proud maiden's
set OF false teeth.

important Discovery Claimed by n
Colorado Explorer In New
Mexico.

Capt. Cecil \. Dcane. of the Denver
State Historical society. lately spent
two weeks near Gallup. y. NJ, looking
for sandstone house partially COW
cred by bed of lava. This. saws Il
Denver exchange. he failed to find. but
he discovered other evidence OF the
presence of man in that locality dur
ing the tertiary period. Near the given
site of the elusive stone house they
came upon the site of an old lake COW
cred with lava. Fifty feet above the
original level of the vanished lake a
cliff house was found. From this long
untenanted abode the explorers took
two bushels of calcined corn. which.
however, had not come into contact
with any burning substance. 1t was of
an altogether different variety from
the corn that is and has been used by
the Indians. Oveg the corn was a layer
of Clipped stone Redeemed by intense
heat from the lava bed of solidified de-
bris which lay above the burnt rock.
In the house in which the corn was
stored there were no weapons or uten-
sils made of lava. On the other hand.
such weapons and utensils were plenti-
ful in the cliff dwelling at lower level.
These facts have convinced Capt.
Deane that the region was inhabited
before and after the lava flow. which
is of the later tertiary period.

BIG INDIANS AT WAR,
Usage Nation over the Qucs-
tion of Chiefsbip.

A civil war is raging in the Usage
Indian nation, south of Wichita. Kan.
It Is caused. says n local exchange, by
the fact that Peter Bigheart and
Eagle Chief. two rich and influential
Indians, want to be chief of the tribe.
AS only one can be elected. the feud
that has been started threatens to
outdo the Kentucky struggle so far
as bloodshed goes. Already 90 In
dians have been assassinated on ac-
count of the bitterness between these
two factions, and the fight has just
commenced.
The fight commenced four wears
ago. Eagle Chief and Bigheart were
then candidates for chief. and Big.
heart won. Eagle Chief accused his
rival of fraud, and in the contest that
followed four or five Indians were
killed. The defeated candidate repre-
sents the progressive element. and the
present chief is in favor of running all
the white men out of the country and
going back to the first days of saw
agery. Notwithstanding his backward
ways, he is the richest man in the
tribe, and is said to be worth over
S3OO0,OOO. He has made II all since
he has been chief. by securing the
passage of bills favorable to his oil
wells and the extensive mines he owns,
he has amassed big fortune from
his office. These facts are being
made good use of in the campaign
against him, and they are telling on
the influence of the big chieftain.
On the other hand. Eagle Chief is
accused of trying to play into the
hands Of the whites by fayoring allot-
ment. Many campaign stories have
been spread. in which there is not
grain of truth. and this has only
served to add fuel to tie flames.
Each man has a large following.

Around the ring they rode leaning
