(By the Associated Press.)


Chicago, Sept. 12,-The following state
ment was received at II o'clock tonight:
Galveston, Sept. 12.-Charles S. Diehl
General Manager of the Associated Press,
Chicago.
"a summary of the conditions prevail
ing at Galveston is more than human in
tellect can master. Briefly stated, the
damage to property is anywhere be-
tween fifteen and twenty millions The
loss of life cannot be computed. No lists
could be complete and all is simple guess
work Those thrown out to sea and
buried on the ground wherever found
will reach the horrible total Of at least
5000 souls.
MY estimate of the loss on the island
of the city of Galveston and the imme-
date surrounding district is between A.
900 and 5000 deaths. / do not make this
statement in fright or excitement. The
whole story will never be told because it
cannot be told. The necessities of those
living are total. Not a single individual
escaped properly loss. The property
on the island is wrecked; fully one half
totally swept out of existence altogether
What our needs are can be computed by
the world at large by the statement here
with submitted much better than | could
must possibly summarize them. The
help must be immediate.

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams,

slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work" This SUI
preme remedy for female diseases quick

ancholy, headache, backache, fainting and
