at Galveston.

WATER SUPPLY IMPROVING

GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 16-The first
real attempt to clear away the great
mass of debris piled along the beach
front for distance of several miles
was begun during the day. Advertise
ments were printed in the newspapers
asking for hundreds Of men and teams
to do this work. A multitude re-
sponded. They were formed into
squads and promptly put to work with
police and deputy sheriffs in charge. 1t
Is hoped that a vigorous prosecution of
this work will lead to the early recov-
cry Of bodies still in the debris. That
there are many of them Shere is no
shadow of doubt. It is difficult indeed
to imagine how half the people that did
escape got free of this fearful fotsam
and jetsam.
An Associated Press representative
traversed the beach for some distance
and the stencil at different points was
absolutely sickening. Everywhere lit
tie groups Of men, women and children
were digging in the ruins of their
homes for what little household prop
erty they could save. In many cases
those seeking their former residences
were utterly unable to find single
remnant Of them, SO hopeless is the
confusion of timbers and household
furniture.
More Hopeful Reports Are Received
touching the water supply. The water
company is placing men all along the
mains plugging the broken places,
thereby helping the flow. It has been
serving some Of its customers and hopes
to gradually increase the supply. The
water continues to run at reduced pres
sure. The only difficulty the people
have is in carrying water to their
houses or places of business.
The ice famine continues. Some
stands on street corners were supplying
icewater at cents for as many glasses
as could be drunk at one time.
A large number of business houses
are open and are advertising their wares
In the papers at no advance.
Carts with disinfectants are going
through the streets. The cutters are
being covered with lime. Carpenters
are having all the work they can do.
The storm tore hundreds of roofs off,
and the people who are living in the
topless houses are eager to obtain Gov
erings so as to prevent the destruction
Of what they have saved if a rain storm
comes along. Thus far, however, the
weather has been clear and there are no
immediate indications of a downpour.

NO MORE CANDY.
MankatO Candy & Cracker Co. Cease
This Branch of Business.

On Saturday the officers of the Man
kato Cracker & Candy Co. decided to
suspend the making of candy and the
employees were SO notified in the eve
ming
In an interview with the manager
of this concern this afternoon, he
stated that the candy business did not
turn out as profitable as they antici-
pated and in view of the rapid increase
in trade and demand for their crackers,
etc. it was deemed desirable to cut
out the candy department and utilize
the room for the making of other
goods more in demand and more pro-
ftable All the employees having homes
and families here will be kept in en-
ployment and the others will be given
positions elsewhere.

it proved most satisfactory. 1 have

LIST is GROWING.
Estimate of Five Thousand Dead at GAL

Estimate of Five Thousand Dead at GAL
weston Shown to Be Too Low.
HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 14.-The Post
prints list of 2,700 names of the GAL
weston dead, compiled from various
sources but believed to be authentic.
There were hundreds Of bodies buried
at sea and in the sand, of which no
Identification was possible; there were
other hundreds who were buried on
the beach of the mainland, few OF
whom have been identified. There are
many bodies still in the ruins of Gal
weston and scattered along the beach Of
the mainland, and in the marshes
where they were thrown by the water.
Some of these bodies have been sent 90
miles inland along small water courses
by the rush of high waters. Taking
all things into consideration, there
seems no longer any doubt that the
number of dead will reach beyond the
estimates of 5000 which has been made
by Mayor Jones, Major r. G. Lowe
and other reliable citizens of Galveston.

FIFTY YEARS MARRIED.
Golden Wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark KeysOr.
FittingIy Celebrated Saturday Night by
the Order of the Eastern Star.
asa Pleasant Occasion.

The reception given to Captain and
Mrs. Clark Keysor Saturday evening
at Masonic hall by the order of the
Eastern Star, was attended by about
one hundred and twenty-five of their
friends and neighbors. Mr. and Mrs.
Keysor were assisted in receiving by
all of their surviving children except
Mrs. Morse, who was unable to be
present. They were Judge w. Keysor
and wife, of Omaha, Mr.. and Mrs
Jean Flittie, of this city, and Mr.. and
Mrs. John Keysor, of Dakota. The
bride and room looked exceptionally
we'll and had it not been known they
were celebra ting their golden wedding
no one would have dreamed that they
had walked the path of welded life
for fifty long years. Both are well pre-
served and seemed to greatly appre-
ciate the well wishes and kind words
spoken to them.
Mr.. W. n. Plymat acted as master
of ceremonies and introduced Rev.
Geo. H. Davis, who addressed Mr..
and Mrs. Keysor with eloquent and
fitting remarks, and who in behalf of
the order of the Eastern Star pre-
sented them with fifty dollars in gold,
one dollar for each year of their we'd
ded life. Mr.. and Mrs. Keysor were
charter members of Cereal chapter
when it was organized twenty nine
years ago In behalf of the Mankato
school board he presented Mr.. Keysor
with an elegant upholstered reclining
chair, also two polished oak upholst-
cred rockers from the Masonic fra
ternity They also received purse
of sixteen dollars in gold from their
neighbors.
After the presentations Mr.. Keysor
responded in feeling manner and re-
cited a poem to his wife which was
both sentimental and humorous
Judge Keysor, the eldest son was called
upon and spoke touchingly of his
appreciation of the honors bestowed
upon his aged father and mother. He
also spoke upon the sacredness of the
marriage ties and of the fiexibility of
the marriage laws, and how as a
judge of the district court he had been
obliged to decide the fate of many
couples in both low and high life.
The refreshments, consisting of ice
cream and cake, were served by Mus
ser in the dining room of the hall,
which was handsomely lighted. A
large square table in the center of the
room contained a fine pointed star
three feet across and each point con-
tanned ten candles of colors appropriate
to the five degrees of the order, these
together with the floral decorations
made very handsome table.
The evening was most delightfully."-
spent in social intercourse and all
hoped that the honored couple might
live to enjoy many years of life which
seems to still await them.

An Ohio Woman Throws Blue VitriOl in
Young Lady's Eyes.


The following dispatch was sent
from Van Vert Ohio, under date of
Sept. 14th:

of her home yesterday some one threw
vitriol in her face. Both her eyes were

and these gave clew that led to the
arrest of Mrs. John Van Liew, wife
of the cashier of the Van Vert First

ton and gave bonds of 81, 600 for ap-
pearance. Miss Hammel was deputy
