correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
On August 14th, 1900, the angel of
death entered our Order and took
from our midst our dearly beloved
brother G. o. Smith.
God works in wOndrous ways His
mysteries to perform. We in our
weakness cannot understand why
He entered the door of our Order
and the home of our sister and took
from US, in the prime of life and in
the beginning of his usefulness, our
brother. But we remember that Al
mighty Gods wiser than we and does
not make mistakes, and is too good
to be cruel, therefore we commit all
in His hands and trust all to His
care. Bro. Smith was good, kind,
and gentle towards all, and his traits
of character are worthy of our emu
lation. He was liked by all who
knew him. Bro. Smith was "a years
old and leaves a wife and a number
of relatives to mourn their loss.
When we remember that Jesus wept
we take courage, and can point the
bereaved ones to Jesus, who only
can give that peace which the world
knoweth not Of. Therefore be it
Resolved, by Justice Alliance, That
we tender to the wife and the be-
reaved family our heartfelt sympa-
thies.
2. That Justice Alliance loses one
of its best and purest members.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be placed upon our minutes and a
copy presented to the family and a
copy to The Progressive Farmer for
publication.

GHOULs CAPTURED AND SHOT.

DALLAS TEX, Sept. 12.-Vandal-
ism at Galveston has been horrible.
The most rigid enforcement of mar
tial law has not been able to suppress
it entirely. Adjutant General Sour
rvs men have arrested a hundred or
more negroes, 43 of whom werefound
with effects taken from dead bodies.
These were ordered tried by court
martial. They were convicted and
ordered shot. One negro had % fin
gers with rings on them in his
pockets.
In Galveston yesterday morning
it became apparent that it would be
impossible to bury the dead even in
trenches and arrangements e
made to take them to sea. At night
fall three barge loads containing
about 700 human bodies had been
sent to sea where they were sunk
with weights. Darkness compelled
suspension of the work until morn
ing. No effort was made after 8
o'clock yesterday morning to place
the bodies in morgues for Identified
ton, for it is imperative that the
dead should be gotten to e as soon
as possible.

broke through the rush and roar OF
the elements, and the picture OF
dead bodies floating along the streets
made it a night for those who safely
passed through it that will never be
~obliterated from their minds. The
lowest point touched by the barom-
eter in the correspondents office,
which was filled by frightened men
and women, was 28.04%. This was
about 1880 p. m. The barometer
then began to rise slowly, and by 10
D. m. it had reached $500. The wind
gradually subsidized and by midnight
the storm had passed. The water,
which had reached a depth of eight
feet on Strand street, at 10 p. m. be-
gan to ebb. 1t ran out very rapidly,
and by 5 a. m. the crown of the street
was free of water.
Thus passed out the most destruc-
tive storm that ever devastated the
coast of Texas.
The city is filled with beaeft, des-
titute and homeless. At the tenn
porary morgue are stretched out
hundreds of bodies of all ages, rep

One other writer would confer a
great favor, too, if he would tell peo-

at the least expense.
We are familiar with some good

the wear of the wheels and winds in
this dry and trying climate. We
know whereof we speak that this
climate isa trying one on good roads.

USE OF COMMERCIAL MANUREs AND
OTHER MATTERS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Under this head it may not be out
of the way to make a suggestion to
a fellow correspondent. There has
been much printed in the past twenty
years on this subject. Indeed, there
are many bulletins and newspaper
articles advocating soil tests by
farmers.
Had a recent writer known of some
of these, he would not have looked
far and selected a better complete
manure when he was trying to use
two elements by leaving out phOs-
phoric acid or, he would have pur-
chased single element manures-in-
complete manures-and mixed up a
compound to suit his own notion of
what his soil needed to supply com
plete ratiOns for his crops. This
mixture, compared with a complete
soil test, would demonstrate to him
clearly what the soil needs in addi-
ton to what it already holds in order
to grow good crops. Then having
the soil demonstration if he applies
it he should make a fair return for
his trouble, but he should not come
out in an article to show how cheaply
he can produce a bushel of cor

LOCAL TREATMENT
For Catarrh IL : Failure.

Local applications for catarrh II
they accomplish anything at all
simply give temporary relief; a
wash, lotion, salve or powder can
not reach the real cause of the dis
ease, which is in the blood.
Catarrhal poison is discharged
from the blood through the mucous
membranes of the nose and throat,
the discharge sometimes closing up
the nostrils aud irritating and in
flaming the throat and bronchial
tubes and laying the foundation for
serious lung troubles.
The most successful remedies for
catarrh are taken internally and
should consist simply of antiseptics
to cleanse the blood of catarrhal
poison and remove the fever and
congestion from the mucous men,
branes of the nose and throat
For some years antiseptic appli-
cations have been used in washes
and sprays applied locally, often
giving welcome relief, but not until
recently has a satisfactory antisep-
tic preparation for internal use
been produced.
1t has been accomplished and the
remedy under name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets has been so sue
cessful in the cure of all forms of
catarrh and has become so popular
among every class of catarrh suffer-
ers that it is now sold by druggists
everywhere.
1t is the only catarrh cure in tab
let form and being pleasant to the
taste, containing no cocaine or
opiates, it is perfectly safe and pal
atable for children as we'll as
adults.
Chronic catarrh sufferers should
bear in mind that the best time to
attempt to cure so obstinate a dis
ease is in the spring and summer
and probably no remedy as safe and
so certain to bring about a perma-
nent cure as Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's.

grounds for the report. While it is
true that the company possesses suff1-
cient ground for making such an i'm
provement near its present location in
Benwood, it is considered that there
are circumstances which would not

able to the company at present.
