The SIT. Anthony s Hospital is
a monument4to to the skill and en-
terprise OF it's founders. 1t is a
growth; no amount of money
could create it. It is today val
uable enterprise to the town of
Bemidji aud splendid testi-
monial TO the professional skill Of
its founders. This hospital is
under the auspicies of the Sisters
Of st. Benedict, it being a branch
of the mother hospital of ST.
Mary's Of Duluth, and there are
five other hospitals conducted by
the Sisters III other places This
hospital was organized at Bemidj
two years ago, on small scale,
renting a few small rooms over a
a store. They now have the larg-
est hospital in Northwest Mime
sofa outside of Duluth. The build
ing and grounds are very hand
some, indeed, and are estimated
AT a cost Of about $18, 900. It is.
located ON the west bank Of Lake

convenience and sanitary condi
tions. Hundreds of dollars have
been spent in making the walls,
ceilings and partitions just what
hospital requirements exacted
and it is very evident that neither.

land. The operating room is said
to be the finest in the country.
It is lighted from the sides and

come here from all over the coun-
try, as far east as New York, on
account Of the h healthfulness of
the atmosphere and the beauti-

of the protection afforded in the
shape Of hospital tickets, which
are now being sold for only $9,

Of sickness. No man can afford
to be without this protection.

indianapolis, Ind, September Sd. b.
Clarkson of Galveston, Tex, whose family
is probably swept away was an axious in
ouirer at the Associated Press offices here
tonight:
Speaking of the flooded city, its location.
population, business interests and former
floods that have inundated the city he
said:
"Galxeston is situated on an island ex-
tending east and west for twenty-seven
miles and Is seven miles in its greatest
width north and south. No city could be
in greater danger with such horrible
visitation as has come to Galveston. In no
part of the city with its 6S,OOO population
is it more than 6 feet above the sea level.
The fat condition not only points to the
desperation of the situation of the people
at such a time as this but their danger
may be considered emphasized when 1t is
known that exactly where the city is built
the island is only one and .one-quarter
miles wide.
1.-The bay or north side of the city, Is
the commercial section with wharves
stretching along for nearly two miles lined
with sheds and large storage houses In
that portion Of Galveston there are three
elevators-one of 100000 bushels capacity
capacity; one of 100000 and the third of
100000. The island from the north side is
connected with the mainland by railroad
bridges and the longest wagon bridge in
the world, the latter nearly two miles in
length. In 1872 the entire east end of the
city was swept away by the tidal wave
that followed terrific storm which swept
the gulf coast for three full days. Then
the eastern land on which buildings stood
was literally torn away.

The Mother Was Killed
At Arcola, family named Wofford had
gathered In the second story Of their house.
The upper portion of the house was blown
away, and Mr.. Wofford's mother was in
stantly killed. The hurricane was partic-
ularly severe at Brookshire, n miles west
of Houston, on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad. Four dead bodies have
been taken from the debris of wrecked
houses, and 1t is believed that others have
been killed. 1t Is reported that only four
houses are left standing in Brookshire,
which was a village with population of 600
people
The names of dead at Brookshire cannot
be learned tonight.
Late reports received from Alvin state
that many persons were killed there. Eleven
bodies have been rcovred.
At Sabrook, Mrs. Jane Woodstock was
killed by falling house; Mrs. Nickelson
and Louis Broquet were drowned. 8. K.
McIlhenny, wife and daughter and Mrs.
Leroy and two children are missing. They
were known to have been In their cottages

At Brazoria six people were killed by

including George Duff, son Of Hon. ]. f.

there.

,DlREFUL RUMORS
Citizens of st. Louis Much Perturbed
Over the News

st. Louis, September 9.-The office OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company In
this city is besieged with thousands n
ouiring as to the extent and result OF the
terrible storm that cut off Galveston, Tex,
from communication from the rest OF tne
world. Rumors of the most direful nature
come from that part of Texas, some OF
them even intimating that Galveston has
been entirely wrecked, and that the bay
is covered with the dead bodies of Its resi-
dents.
All the telegraph wires to Galveston are
zone south of Houston, and to accentuate
the serious condition of affairs, 1t Is stated
the cable lines between Galveston and
Tampico and Coalzacoalcoz, Mexico, are
severed; at least no communication over
them is possible at the present time.
The Western Union has a large number
of telegraph operators and linemen walt
ing at Houston to go to Galveston but
1t is impossible to get them there. At pres
ent a severe storm of wind and rain pre-
walls around Dallas, but the wires are still
working to that point. San Antonio Is
being reached by E. Paso. In the extreme
southwestern portion of the State, pro-
ceedure made necessary by the prevailing
storm which centers around Dallas.

Houston, Tex, September "a train
came in on the Columbia Gap Railroad
this afternoon and its crew tell a story
of death and desolation in the country
through which they passed Conductor
Ferguson states thar the damage is be-
yound calculation, houses, barns, crops
and orchards being destroyed.
AL Forbes, postal clerk, reported that at
Oyster Creek the train crew and passen-
gers heard cries coming out of a mass of
debris. Several persons answered the cries
and found a negro woman fastened under
a roof. They pulled her out and she in
formed her rescuers that there were others
under the roof A further search resulted
In the finding of nine dead bodies, all col
ored persons.
When the train arrived at Angleton the
Jail, all of the churches and a number of
houses had been blown down. Three ia
talities occurred at Angleton but the train
stopped there only few minutes and the
number killed or their names could not be
learned.
At Angleton the conductor decided to re-
turn to Houston and the extent of the
damage beyond Angleton was not
learned.
On the return trip the crew saw the
debris of dozens of demolished houses.

YOUNG MAN LOST HIS LIFE
TRYING TO RESCUE OTHERS

New Orleans, September "a special
from Houston, Tex, says:
In the relief train which Conductor Pow
ers brought in from Virginia Point tonight,
was his own son, who lay In the baggage
coach, a corpse. Powers was in the employ
of the G. H. & H. Company at Virginia
Point, as baggage watchman, and was 20
years of age He had distinguished himself
as a life saver at Texas City and had
worked diligently In the work of rescuing
people. He had done noble work and was
looked on as quite hero. After saving the
lives of others he himself was drowned by
an accident The young man was spoken
of in high terms and had many friends
among the railroad men.
Conductor Powers reports that the two
freight trains one on the 1. and G. N, the
other on the M. K. & T., which left Hous-
ton at 1880 Saturday morning. arrived at
Virginia Point in safety, but could get no
further than that point. In the storm Sat-
urday they were both overturned, and the
cars were washed entirely Off the right of
way. the crews escaped and they were set
ahout at once In the work of rescuing the
people who lived there. Up to yesterday aft

Superintendent Nixon Goes to Begin
~ the Work

Chicago, September 9.-w c. Nixon, gen.
erAl superintendent of the Gulf. Colorado &
Santa Fee, of which Galveston is a termin-
al, who has been visiting in Chicago, left
tonight for Texas to assist in restoring traf-
&C on @his road. cut short by the big
Storm Kilograms were received by Mr..
Nixon before leaving for the south, say
ing that the last passenger train left Gal
weston Saturday morning on the Santa Fe
system. Since then traffic had been en-
tireiy, stopped. Mr.. Nixon was greatly wor-
ried that nothing had been heard from
passenger train No. s, which was due In
Galveston on Saturday night at o'clock.
It was last reported at small station forty
miles north on the mainland, and up to q
late hour tonight nothing had been heard
of IT, Mr.. Nixon believes the train was
caught by the hurricane and was wrecked
either on the mainland near the gulf or on
the bridge. Assistant Superintendent w. 8.
Scott, located at Temple, also Informed MT
Nixon that the storm was headed north,
raging all the way to Alvin, 20 miles north
of galveston. The hurricane blew 80 vio-
lentiy that all the repair and relief trains
sent to Galveston by Mr.. Scott had to turn
hack and wait until the fury OF the gale
had subsided.

tions. He states that the people there are
in destitute circumstances for the most part
and are really in need of help from the
people of Houston.
Mr.. Joyce, another refugee from Calves
ton, makes the following statement:
The wind was blowing Saturday after
noon and night at about rs miles an hour,
blowing the water in from the gulf and
completely covering the city. The people
of Galveston did not think 1t was much at
first and kept within their houses. conse-
quently when the wind began blowing as
it did and the water dashing against the
houses, consequently, when the wind be-
gan blowing as 1t did and the water DASH
ing against the houses, completely demsl-
ishing them; many lives were lost. I have
no idea how many lives were lost, but think
there will be several thousand deaths re-
ported besides many whom people will
know nothing about.
1 was in the storm which struck Calves
ton in 1875, but that one, bad as 1t was,
was nothing in comparison with Satur-
days. 1t will be hard to tell how much
damage was done in the city but 1t will be
something terrible. The gulf and bay are
full of wreckage Of every description and
seems as If every frame house in the town
must have blown down and been knocked
to pieces, judging from the amount of
driftwood that there is floating about. I
am going back to Galveston just as soon
as 1 can to find my sisters body and that
of her children, and shall find them If I
have to walk all over the island to do 1t,
