STORM REACHES FLORIDA.
Hurricane Dees Considera bic Dana e,
In Vicinity OF Miami.

In Vicinity of Miami.
Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. S.-A ter
rife storm has swept over this island.
The rivers are all flooded and great
damage has been done to the banana
plantations. Miles of the railroad
track have been washed away. The
torrential rains, which were a feat
ure of the storm, continue. The losses
will amount to thousands OF pounds.
Miami, Fla, Sept. S.-The tropical
hurricane which has done considera-
BILE damage on the island of jamaica
and Cuba struck the Florida coast
Wednesday, the win1 at one time
reaching velocity of nearly 100 miles
an hour. 1t is feared that the crews
of at least two vessels were swept
overheard about thirty miles south
of here. No damage was done at
Miami. Telegraph wires were blown
down and this Part of the country
was shut off from the outside world
from Wednesday night until last
evening. The barkentine Culbeon,
Captain Richter of st. John, n. b., is
ashore five miles south of Casyfoot
light, about thirty-five miles south of
Miami. Nothing has been heard of
her crew. The Culbeon encountered
the hurricane Wednesday morning.
Three miles south of the Culbeon is
deserted lumber-laden barge, which
stranded during the night of the 5th.
The crew, it is feared, was swept over
board during the storm.
The wife who occasionally blows up
her husband must be a sort of do

Tho United States Government Makes
Known Its Position.
Washington, Sept. 6.-The president
and his cabinet propose to the CEN
trail government of China three
things:
l. Reparation by indemnity for the
injuries to foreign citizens and prop
erty.
2. Guarantee against the recurrence
of such evils and of order and protec.
ton throughout the various provinces
of the empire.
3. The foreign troops to remain on
Chinese soil by stipulation and not
merely as invaders.
A member of the cabinet expresses
himself as follows: 1--WE no longer
have any doubt that responsibility
for the a-tacks upon the legation in
Picking must be placed upon the en-
press dowager and her government.
We have received information through
official channels which settles this
point beyond peradventure."

of Clarence Devard of Douds Station,

him. 1t was not thought at the time
that Devard was much injured, but
he died the same evening. A coro-
ner's jury recommended that Phillips
be held to the grand jury on charge

THEY RAISED THE BETS.
RI. Dodge Will Now Lay Claim to
Beet Sugar Factory.

Fort Dodge, Sept, 4.-Fort Dodge S
prospects for securing a sugar beet
factory were never so excellent as
the present. President Theiden OF
the Minnesota Sugar company, whose
mammoth plant is at st. Louis Park,
Mimi, spent last week in the city and
his talks with local capitalists gave
great encouragement to the promo
tiers of the Fort Dodge beet sugar
company. Mr.. Theiden says that the
soil of northern Iowa is ideal for the
culture of the sugar beet, and so well
pleased is he with the crops pros
poets in Webster, Hamilton and
Wright counties that he has decided
that the harvest shall begin on Sep
TENDER 20. 81 have made a close eX-
animation of the beets of Webster
county," said Mr.. Theiden, land the
result is most gratifying. The beets
here are of excellent size and shape,
showing careful cultivation, and will
no doubt give equally gratifying re-
turns when their sugar analysis is
made. The beets grown near Badger
are specially worthy of notice. They
will be shipped to St. Louis Park as
soon as harvested, and there convert
ed into sugar. The growers will be
more than pleased with the results
About 300 acres are in sugar beet
cultivation here, and as the farmers
are finding that the work of caring
for the beets is far less than they at
first supposed, the acreage will be
increased many fold next year.

whole matter is practically at a stand
still. The original intention was to
raise $1,000.O00. This has been cut to

much will be subscribed. For the last

Washington, Sept. THE attitude
of the German government in the
Russian proposal to withdraw the
troops from Picking has been made
known to the United States, and is
to the effect that Germany considers
it necessary to retain her forces in

The answer in substance states that
Germany, while anxious to avoid any
friction between the powers, regards
the conditions at Picking such as to re-
quire the continued presence of Ger

Almost at the same time message

The Guelph face was certainly not
in the late English poet laureates
mind when he created the phrase tip
tilted like the petal of a flower" to
express a certain type of feature.
Queen Victoria's face, it might be i'm
agined, was sufficiently familiar to her
subjects-even to those whose souls
cannot rise out of the fog of art. 1t
is, therefore, amusing to find that the
artist who designed one of the stamps
OF the Mauritius gave her majesty a
retrousse nose. Was this ignorance
carelessness or preoccupation with the
face of another lady?

Fish Poisoning,

From Popular Science Monthly: In
the United States fish poisoning is
most frequently due to decomposition
in canned fish. The most prominent
symptoms are nausea, vomiting and
urging. Sometimes there Is scarlat-
nous rash, which may cover the
whole body. The writer has studied
two outbreaks of this kind Of fish
poisoning. In both instances canned
salmon was the cause of the trouble.
Although discussion of the treatment
Of food poisoning is foreign to this pa
per, the writer must call attention to
the danger in the administration OF
opiates in cases of poisoning with
canned fish. Vomiting and purglng ara
efforts on the part of nature to remove
the poison, and should be assisted by
the stomach tube and by irrigation OF
the colon. In one of the cases seen by
the writer large doses Of morphine had
been administered in order to check
the vomiting and purging and to re-
lieve the pain; in this case death re-
suited. The danger of arresting the
elimination Of the poison in all cases
of food poisoning cannot be too en-
phatically condemned.
