Galveston is situated on the northeast
extremity of Galveston Island at the
mouth of Galveston Bay, the entrance
to which Is through the channel be-
tween the city and the southwest point
of the peninsula of Bolivar. The island
is twenty-seven miles long, runs north
east and southwest, and is from one
and one-half to three and one-half miles
wide. Where the city is built it is one
and one-half miles wide. 1t is inter-
sected with many small bayous and
bordered through its whole length on
the gulf side by smooth, hard beach.

POPULATION OF STATES NEXT.
Census Figures on Big Cities Are All
Announced.

Announced.
The census bureau has finished the
enumeration of all the cities in the Unit
ed States of over $4,000 inhabitants. The
work Of announcing the States comes
next, beginning with Arkansas. The fig
ures will include all the incorporated
towns. 1t appears likely the census will
cost about $15000.000
Estimates based on census returns from
1913 cities in the United States place the
total population Of the country at 80,
100000. The grand total for the 1913
cities mentioned is 19,G93654. In 1890
the population Of the same cities was IA

Bay of Galveston.

The bay of Galveston, the mouth Of
which is guarded by the island on
which the city stands as a sentinel, is
body of water with an area of about
$50 square miles. 1t has an irregular
coast line and branches out into various
arms. 1t receives the San Jacinto and
Trinity rivers and Buffalo Bayou. Ow-
ing to the island being but little higher
than the bay. foundations have often
been threatened. The bay is quite shall
low in most parts. Eentrance to it is
through the recently constructed deep
water channel and flanking it on either
side are the stone jetties five miles long.

founded in 1887. 1t was the scene of
stirring events during the Civil War.
The Federal forces occupied the city
Oct. s, 1862, but it was retaken by the
Confederates on Jan. /, 1868. During
the past few years the United States
has spent $932,Go0 in the construction
and equipment of coast Notifications

EOS flood in which rich farming lands
having an area of !, 3S0,00O acres were
submerged for eight days to depth of
two to twenty feet The loss as esti-
mated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture was $7,414,O00.
The city has triumphed over all these
adversities and will doubtless arise
with increased strength from the pres
ent appalling disaster, for it is the
greatest seaport of the South, being
connected with the entire railway sys-
tenn of the United States and Mexico
and having direct lines of steamship
communication with all the great ports
of the world. 1t is the largest cotton
exporting point in the United States
and among the 127 foreign exporting
points in the country it holds fifth
place. During the year 1898 it's exports
increased $500, 600 and its export and
import trade is now fully $100,OO0,oOO
year.
Harbor improvements.
A leading cause of the city's great
commercial progress during the past
few years is the harbor improvements
made by the national government, in
volying an expenditure of over $S,0O0;-
600. In 1895 the depth of the channel
over the bar was only twenty-one feet.
By the construction of jetties and other
Improvements which were finished in
January, 1898, the depth was increased
to twenty-eight feet and is still increas-
ing at the rate of six inches each year
owing to the action of the wind and
tide. This depth of water permits the
largest steamers to load and unload al
the wharves. In addition to being the
country's greatest cotton port, immense
quantities of grain. lumber, live stock
and dairy products are sent through
Galveston. Much of the grain from

History of the City.

The island of Galveston was occupied
by the famous pirate LATTE in 1917
and continued to be his headquarters
until his settlement was broken up in
1921. 1t is believed by many that
somewhere on the island are buried
treasures of the pirate and many
stories of romance have been woven
about the daring rover and his island
home. The city of Galveston was

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portian of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets intiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Gee hundred dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

and scattered gripsacks, laprobes,

hurt, and the horses and wagon have
been gathered in, we had to turn our
attention to giving send-off to
four men and teamster, or, rather,
five men (for | am told that team
ster is a man), who have gone to
Mon tezuma to work on lease for
Stewart and Douglass. Sitting Bull,
Chief of the Montezumas, with a
" fedder" in his cap, occupied the

while Buffalo Hump, Spotted Tail

were packed on top Of the load of
provisions and tools, Charley Ca
nong was the advance agent, and
the whole outfit got on the wrong
road within two miles Of town. If
they ever reach Montezuma they

days, Bob Stewart anb Joe Washtub

A CHALLENGE TO
SENATOR PETTlCREW,
A Cowboy Reseuts the insinuations
Made Against Col. Roosevelt.

Sioux Falls, $. d., is Senator Petit
CREWS home, and the Senator said IN q
recent speech there that Col Roosevelt
did not lead his regiment at San Juan
Hill, but was six miles in the rear. At
the recent Roosevelt meeting In the town
many Of Col. Roosevelts old regiment
came to greet him, some OF them trav-
cling quite distance, and one rough
rider came $50 miles. This particular
cowboy heard OF Senator Pettigrew's ut
tcrance for the first time while In Sioux
Falls, and mounting his horse he would
ride to street corner and issue this chnl'
lenge:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I have heard
that there are people In this town who
say Col Roosevelt WAS away in the rear
at San Juan and did not lead his regi-
ment in the charge that was made that
day. was in that regiment and follow
ed Col. Roosevelt up that hill My cap
tain was killed and several OF my com
pany. saw that fight. was in 1t.
Whoever says that Col. Roosevelt did not
lead his regiment in that charge is liar,
a scoundrel, coward and dare not tell
me so to my face"
Then he would wait a minute, ride to
the next block and repeat the same chal-
lenge.
The incideu, will keep Senator Petit
grew quiet for awhile He may be kept
busy in explaining what he meant.

BRYAN'S MANY SIDED
HOPES And FEARS.
His Expectations Based on Hopes that
Others Will Forget.

Bryan argues that the Constitution cx'
tends in full by its own force to every
foot of land under the American flag
lie hopes that the American people won't
find out before November that the United
States courts. from the lowest to the
highest, have decided by overwhelming
and irresistible decisions that ne Is
wrong.
He Is running on a platform declaring
for the fraud OF free silver. He hopes
that the gold Democrats who have re-
turned to the Democratic party on the
issue of Imperialism will not cease to
believe in his readiness to betray it,
He Is running on Il platform on which
imperialism Is said 10 be the paramount
issue. He hopes that the silver men
won't take this portion Of the platform
seriously.
He Is running as Democrat He
hopes the Populists won't lay it up
against him.
He is running as a Populist. He hopes
the Democrats will forget it.
He is running as silver Republican.
He hopes that the silver Republicans,
mainly men of the West, won't give him
up because of their belief in expansion.
He is running as the avowed friend Of
Aguinaldo. He hopes that this won't
drive the American votes against him.
So every Democratic hope Of 1900 has
error or humbug back Of it.

the Treasury Department, he will ut 'onee
discover that the present advantage
which il accruing TO him comes absolute
ly directly from the tariff law now on the
statute books of the United States. And,
then, if he desires old times, with old
prices and old short days of employment,
bc had better vote for William Jennings
Bryan.
But if the laborng man wants con
tinuation Of the present prosperity OF the
United States. he certainly cannot, with
out inconsistency, vote for Bryan. An
other view of it. Let the laboring man
take the present price Of his labor and
take the present prices of all the things
he buys upon which his family is sub
sisted and supported and educated, and
then take the price Of his labor of 1896
and the prices existing then, he will dis
cover, without any hesitation of intellect,
that present conditions are far better
than old conditions, that. waving the lit
tie increase of cost of living, the balance
sheet shows favorably to him. No man
can deny that and there is no man in the
United States who has done more to
break down the interests of labor by pro
noting and cultivating unfair and unjust
competition than has William j. Bryan,
of Nebraska. G. II. GROSVENOR.

THIRTY TONS OF PENNIES
SAVED BY CHILDREN.
wheat grower.

Chicago's Penny Savings Society has
only been established for a few years,
but its deposits have increased as fol
lows:
Year ending June 80, 1893. -. $40, 40
Year ending June 80. 1890. go. 1880
Year ending June 80, 1900. ..... 1,193
William c. HOLSTER, who is acting
president Of the Chicago Penny Savings
Society, says that it is operated entirely
on phianthropic basis and supported
by voluntary contributions. There are
only two salaried officers, young ladies,
at the Office in the Schiller building.
This system is in operation only in half
the schools In Chicago, yet the amount
Of money deposited by the children last
year averaged 80 cents for every child
in the Chicago school district, and GO
cents per capita for all the children in
the schools In which the Penny Savings
Society is operated.
The weight of last years savings was
thirty tons Of American pennies, an enor-
nous mass OF money for the little ones to
put by in the banks within one year.
1t will be noticed that the increase be
tween the amount deposited In 1898 and
1899 was 40 per cent. But between 1899
and the year just ended the increase in
the amount Of pennies deposited was con-
siderably more than 100 per cent.
The children would certainly not be
able to save their pennies IL their par
ents did not have the money to give
them. and the exhibit made by the Chi
cago Penny Savings Society Is certain
ly a straw showing that the people Of
Chicago have experienced more and more
good times and prosperity during the Re
publican administration Of President Nc
Kinley.
