There is pending in the Ohio Valley
Trades Assembly a resolution proyid-
ing for nominating a labor ticket for
the next Legislature. This movement
IS the outgrowth Of considerable
thought given to the subject Of politi-
cal action by the leaders Of organized
labor. They realize that workingmen by
voting as a unit, might secure all the
legislation desired, yet every two
years, when the opportunity is present
ed to elect two labor representatives to
the House Of Delegates, only the candi-
date on the winning ticket is success
full. This has struck some Of the lead
ers as a farce. hence the agitation for
q separate ticket A labor legislative
ticket next fall would decidedly COM
plicate the political situation In Ohio
county.

Wood county appears to be going aft
ter the conventions and the important
Offices in a manner which indicates
that Kanawha and Ohio are to take a
back seat during the coming campaign
at least.

An examination Of the names OF Re-
publicans who attended the Freer meet
ing in Washington reveals a number of
leaders who have grievances against
the dominant wing of the party in
West Virginia. Gen. G. w. Curtin, who
presided, was the first nan upon
whom the Atkinson and anti-ring fac
lions proposed to unite for Governor,
but he declined for personal reasons.
He is expected to contribute Of his time
and to assist Freer. Hon.
John w. Mason is not within the
charmed circle. but will be a leader
in the anti-machine faction. Hon.
Thos. E. Davis, of Grafton, thought his
race for Governor entitle him to some
consideration, and he is anxious to
get even with the powers that be for
turning him down as an applicant for
a Federal position. 1t is significant
that Mr.. Freer was the only member
of the West Virginia Congressional
delegation who was present. The war
is on, and a right merry fight 1t will
be. Elkins is given to understand that
unless he withdraws his support of
White, the Atkinson-Freer element
will oppose his reelection as United
States Senator. All signs indicate that
Elkins will have troubles Of his own
during the next twelve months. Per-
haps his little Vice Presidential boom
is an indication that he sees the hand
writing on the wall. The term little"
is used advisedly.

Food and Clothes Needed mt that
Point.
To the Editor Of Tho Post,
call your attention to tho following from your
issue of today:
while Dickinson does not need any
charity, II does neeH transportation by
which the people can get provisions from
Houston. VIII not the railways grant this
reief?"
Dickinson is in great need and unless food
can be secured In a few days, great distress
viii be the result Between fifteen and
twenty families are utterly destitute. Not
house or barn for miles has escaped On
my place alone there are twenty-three souls
in two small rooms their whole supply OF
food consisting of half sack OF -four. Their
homes are gone. and all their clothes We are
doing what is possible to help them. but our
stores are beginning to be exhausted.
| write that you may correct this printed
statement and let the good people know that
Dickinson does need food and clothes. Very
truly yours Mrs. Lawrence V, Elder.
Dickinson. September 13.--The number of
dead from the storm has reached thirteen, all

trees and shrubbery entirely out OF the

Help VIII lie necessary.
Angleton. Texas, September l5.--Angleton
has passed the hystercal period and the
people are now hard at work building up
their homes. Many will be compelled to
leave because they can not secure the means
to repair their former homes Our people
have never suffered for anything to eat,
but they must be assisted to repair their
homes. Many OF them have absolutely moth
ing left not even clothing. but on the whole,
perhaps Angleton Jared better than a ma
jol ity OF the towns in this section. 1t is i'm
possible at this time to compute the loss Of
this county in dollars and cents, but It viii
most probably reach $1,000 600 at q rough
estimate. With the exception OF cane and
rico the crops are totally destroyed Cane
and rice both stood 1t we'll. and neither are
materially injured
Great excitement was caused last night by
what was supposed to he AN attempt to rob
lhe bank OF Angleton, now doing business
In the Rayn hotel II seems that two par
ties tried to entor tho room occupied by
the bank The negro servants who wcrs
staying in the building gave the alarm and
the parties fed. The bank vault is standing
intact, and tho money aud books are put In
tho vault every night The bank will be
doing business in lis old building In few

More than 100 houses were either totally

WHARTON STORM LOSSES.
Estimate at First Published Said to
lie Too small.

Wharton. Texas, September 15.-In The
Posts published estimate of losses OF whar-
ton county. where It stated the loss TO nc
$4,000 in the town aud $4,000 in the county
tho sum is greatly underestimated. The
pecan crop alone was worth at the smallest
figure $4,000, while the loss to property in
the town alone at the smallest estimate
amounts TO $780, 900. OF the loss In the county
houses. fences, crops, stock. etc, Il is inn
possible as yet to form just estimate Every

AT LA PORTE.
Damage Was slight--No Lives Lost.
None Injured.

Damage Was S1ight--No Lives Lost
None Injured.
La Perte. Texas. September l4.--The damage
at La Porte was slight indeed as compared
with other places. No lives were lost nor
was person injured. The force of the
storm was broken by tho woods and at no
time was there any danger from the water
In the bay which did not come within htteen
feet OF the crest OF the BLUFFS. The destruc-
ton OF the Methodist church will DO the most
serious loss. but as 1t was insured against
storms. it will probably be rebuilt at once.
OF tho other buildings blown away, Stout S
blacksmith shop Is now almost rebuilt the
wrsckage OF the Muldoon building ID being
cleared up and Will be rebuilt. The coIu
storage building which had been tottering
1t is not probable that It will be reouilt The
sesemann building IS simply turned upside
down and can be repaired without much loss
The burch asbestos cottage that was close to
the brach Is wreck II is not known
whether the owner, q on-resdeut, will re-
build or not. None of these buildings had
any occupants during the STERN. Six barns
were blown over, all OF which can readily
be rebuilt except one that was only an old
shell.
Nearly all the buildings that we're thrown
on their foundations. unroofad or otherwise
damaged. have been repaired All IN ef.
fects Of the storm here will quickly disap-
rear, SO theoretically has everyone worked
The loss win not exceed $4,000, and is di.
Vided among many, Everyone makes light
OF their loss when compared with the terrible
losiamities at Galveston and other places and
no outside assistance 10 needed.
