HURRICANE
Sweeps the Gulf Coast With Dire
full Result.
MANY THOUSAND LIVES LOST

The destruction of railroads and of
telegraph wires has made il impossi-
BILE to gather the full extent of the
damage done by Saturday night 8
storm along the coast OF Texas, but
enough Is known to reveal an appall-
ing disaster involving the loss of hum
dreds and perhaps thousands of lives
Galveston is still inundated and Gu
of from direct communication and
news comes of the almost general de
s;ruction of the city. A correspond
ent who left early Sunday morning
places the loss of life at from 600 to
1000. One man who left Galveston
after the storm says the whole CITY
was inundated, and that one thousand
people were killed, drowned or miss
ing. A relief train from Houston
could get no nearer than six miles of
Virginia Point, where the prairie was
covered with bodies and wreckage
two hundred dead bodies being count
ed from the train. Many vessels were
blown high and dry and wrecked, in
dicating a tidal wave. Besides Gal
weston, Sabine Pass, Port Arthur,
Brszos and other points are shut off
from communication. From other
points in lTexss come reports of
loss of life as follows: Chensngo 8,
Brookshire 4. Sesbi ook 4, Morgan's
Point 3, Houston l, Alvin Z, Texas
City 6, Oyster Greek 6, Angleion 3.
Arcois l, Brazoria 6. From nearly all
these points came reports of many 9TH
ers injured or missing. The damage
to crops was every where great and
beyond estimation at the present time.
Gov. Ssyres estimates the total loss of
life by the storm at three thousand.

FOX OUR HIGH SCHOOL.

Prof. William Warheld having
resigned as Superintendent of our
Public School makes vacancy to
be supplied. And to this subject
we propose few thoughts. Not
that our trustees will not be care
tul and considerate of public in
terests. but because in the short
ness of time there is danger OF a
decision for a year that might be
hurtful to this institution. Due
diligence and caution is necessary,
and rather than make a serious
mistake it would be far better to
select a Chairman Of the faculty
and run until the proper man
could be found. For as we have
before said this city deserves the
best, and by caution we can even
at this late hour secure the servic-
es of one of the very best men for
this position. We would have a
cultured gentleman, thoroughly
educated and up-to-date on mod
ern methods. He seould be a
man who could command the re
spect of the pupils and teachers,
for by virtue of his position they
must be subject to him.. Then
he should be a man in whom the
trustees could have the utmost
confidence, so that when he sug-
gests they would command. We
know of superintendent with
these talents and relations. 1t is
Prof Ramey at Carlisle. Do you
know the results of his labors1
He found a school run down, peo-
pie did not care for it to be known
that their children were being ed
ucated at the Public Graded
School, but a school man, he told
the board his plans and to a man
they have stood by him, and to-
day young men and women leav-
ing this school enter high up in
college course. and the standing
of this school has reached that
degree of popularity that course
in this school is demanded; and
from the outside there comes with
out solicitation a patronage which
to enough to add high
er grade. We can have such a
superintendent and such school.
1t will require time and research
to get the right man, but this task
devolves upon our trustees and we
shall expect much of them. In |
this connection we will say all
things equal we favor home man.

An Iowa Judge has reached the
brilliant conclusion that labor un-
ions are trusts, a fact that nobody
has ever denied A labor union is
a combination Of men organized
for the purpose Of raising the price
OF what they have to sell, i. c. la
Dor. The labor trust eliminates
competition in order to keep wages
from the point Of bare subsistence,
securing to its members sufficient
to enable them to improve their
condition in life. The labor trust
makes laborers prosperous and the
prosperity Of the laboring masses
is the sine qua non of condition
OF general prosperity. Therefore
the labor trust is a good thing and
should be encouraged. The only
thing the matter with the other
trusts is that they are for the bene-
fit of the few and enable those few
to industrially enslave the many
Let the people own the trusts in
stead Of the trusts owning the PEG
pie, and nobody will be found try
ing to "bust the trust except the
fellows who, under the present re-
CINE. use the combinations as a
means to Cypress labor and rob
the public.

CIVILLIBERTY.

"Parson' Hopkins, the Repub-
lican nominee for Congress in this
district, made the race for the same
Office several years ago, and was
defeated by the Hon. J. NJ. Ken
dali, the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Kendall received the certih-
cate Of election and was sworn in
as a member Of Congress. The
"Parson" contested the seat Of
Mr.. Kendall right guaranteed
to him under the constitution and
which he exercised. A partisan
republican congress seated Hop
kins and he drew nearly $4,000
from the Government and served
only few days in congress.
The republicans BLACK and
Brown are making a terrific howl
about "civil liberty, on account
Of the contests had in Kentucky,
whereby the Republicans were de
prived of the Offices for which they
held certificates Of election, and
now will the organs Of the Par
SON kindly explain the whyness
Of the thuseness, wherein if a dem
ocrat contests an election and is
given his seat, that civil liberty
is knocked off the pedestal, where
as if a republican contests the seat
of democrat and is successful in
the same, he receives the plaudits
Of his republican constituents.

We did not question the right
of "Parson" Hopkins to contest
the election Of Mr.. Kendall. We
did not howl about the knock out
blow given to Civil Liberty. Mr..
Hopkins thought he had grounds
for a contest, and partisan re-
publican congress decided for the
Parson. The democrats c9ntested
the seats of the republicans in our
last state election and were sue
cessful in their contests, and now
civil liberty has been dethroned.
The consistency Of our republican
brethren is something beautiful to
behold.

CONGRESSMAN TAWNEY
Says the War Revenue Tax Will Be
 Modified.

Wnono, Minn., Nov. 15.-Congressman J. A. Tawney, of the Ways and Means Com mittee, speaking of the meeting in Wash ington November 30 says:
 ''The object is to consider the extent to which the war revenue taxes can be re- moved and amendments made to make the law more satisfactory in administration. The problem as to what taxes shall be re- moved will be perplexing one. I think, however, 1t is safe to say that the stamp txa upon instruments of conveyances,: such as notes deeds, mortgages. inheritances for charitable and benevolent purposes will be removed; possibly the tax upon pro- prietary medicines and some others.
 'It will be the desire of the members Of the committee to remove just as many of the stamp taxes as possible, but like the removal of the stamp taxes under the civil war revenue act, this will have to be done gradually to avoid sailing too close to the danger of defcit.'

animation you find any settings or sedi- ment if it is milky or cloudy. or If partl- cles float about in it, disease has got foothold in your kidneys and nature is calling for help
 If you have the slightest symptom of kid- ney or bladder trouble, or If there is trace of 1t in your family history, you would profit by taking Swamp Root every now and then as a preventive, and thus absolutely forestall kidney and bladder troubles.
 The famous new discovery, Swamp Root, has been tested in so many ways in hos pital work, in private practice, among the helpless too poor to purchase relief, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made with the Age Herald by which all of our readers who have not already tried 1t may have sample bottle sent absolutely free by maill also a book telling all about kidney and bladder diseases, and containing some of the thousands of testimonial letters from men and women reclaimed to lives of hap piness and usefulness by the means Of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy.
 Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take, and Is so remarkably successful that our readers are advised to write for free sample bot tie, and to be sure and state that you read this generous offer in the Birmingham Daily Age Herald when sending your ad- dress to pr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamtor, N. Y.
 If you are already convinced that Swamp Root is what you need you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles at the drug stores everywhere.

You know what happens to a sewer when 1t becomes clogged, don't you?
 Do you know what happens to the human system when the kidneys become clogged? They are unable to throw out the impuri- ties from the blood and become infected with poisons; they decay, fall apart and pass out in the urine; the blood, unfiltered, carries the poison all through the system, and if not checked death follows. The kid- neys are the sewers of the human system.
 When your kidneys are not doing their work some of the symptoms which prove 1t to you are pain or dull ache in the back, excess of uric acid, gravel, rheumatic pains, sediment in the urine, scanty sup ply, scalding irritation in passing it, obliged to go often during the day and to get up many times during the night to empty the bladder; seeplessness nervous irritability, dizziness, irregular heart, breathlessness, sallow, unhealthy complexion, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, sometimes the feet limbs or body bloat; loss of ambition, general weakness and debility.
 When you are sick or feel badly" the first thing you should do Is to afford aid to your kidneys by using Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy.
 In taking Swamp Root you afford natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid neys that is known to medical science.
 Perhaps you are in doubt about your kid- neys and want to find out. Here's a simple test: Take from your urine passed when you arise in the morning about four ounces, place it in glass bottle and let 1t stand for twenty-four hours. If upon ex-
