HIGH WINDS CAUSE DAMAGE.
TELEGRAPH Companies Find 1t Difficult
to Handle Messages.

High winds which have been prevailing
all over the eastern section of the country,
as well as the middle west, for the past two
days, have caused great damage to tele-
graph wires and the Postal and Western
Union companies have experienced great
difficulty in handling messages. Repair
gangs, however have been diligently work
ing. and it IS expected that the usual con-
nections will be re-established today. The
storm which caused all this atmospheric
coumotion swept the coast from northern
Florida to Maine and was central last night
liz the vicinity of New York city. with a
wind velocity OF sixty-eight miles an hour.
Heavy rains caused the upper Ohio valley
streams to rise rapidly, and flood warnings
were sent by the weather bureau to AL
points on the Allegheny, Monongahela and
Ohio rivers. Storm signals were also dis
played at all Atlantic coast and Lakes On
taro and Erie ports.

The Reno Journal and Carson News

their respective towns. The Journal
takes this unkind fling at the Capital

"a stranger is perfectly safe in Carson,

no one knows when Sunday comes, the
days are SO alike in placidity and repose.
"a city that decreases year by year in
population and wealth. that has rows of
residences and business houses ~untenanted,
is always a moral town. Nobody drinks,
and nobody CANDLES, because everybody is
saving his nickles and his bits to enable
him to get out of town.

of whom try to keep out of prison, and

dusk, it is not because they would be in
almost certain danger of being s~andbagged

they do not run about nights watching for

IF Carsen has empty business houses
il is because they are not occupied by rou-
