The meeting held in the Audi
torium under the auspices of the
farmers yesterday afternoon was
most interesting to every progress
sive tiller of the soil present; as it
was addressed by two of the most
eminent teachers of agricultural
science in the state, President
Worst and Prof. j. H. Shepperd,
both of the Agricultural College
at Fargo.
The exercises began at half past
2o'clock. The Indian band played
a selection, Miss Jones of the Lyr-
ic quartet sang a solo, and then
DIR. May introduced II. M. Greeley
of Sou Dakota, conductor Of
Farmer Day exercises.
Mr.. Greeley made a neat and
appropriate speech, saying that it
always gave him great pleasure to
attend farmers meeting, and speak
ing few words complimentary
to those who had been instrument
tai in adding the recent improve
ments to the Chautauqua grounds.
He toldhow that tformer Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson had said to him
that while the professions were ov-
ercrowded, there was great need
for more and better farmers, and
Of this the speaker said he saw ev-
idence in every run down acre of
land and poor pound of butter that
came under his observation. He
pleaded for more scientific til
lage of the soil and made the point
it is necessary for the farmers to
study economic production and
bring about the consideration of
freight by bringing farm products
down into beef. mutton, wool and
butter.
Professor Shepperd discussed
the bronze grass subject. He said
it was great drouth grass and
that as general thing good wheat
land is good bronze grass land, al
though it would grow on land that
was too dry for wheat. He added
that good preparation for raising
crop of wheat was good preparation
for raising crop Of bronze grass.
If the ground is we'll titled the
seed may be sown as late as the
first of August, or it may be sown
early in the spring, but seed it
alone. Where weeds appear they
should be cropped off with mow-
er; Is or Is pounds should be
sown to the acre for hay, and from
20 to 25 pounds for pasture. It is
particularly adapted to this Sec
ton of the Northwest, Professor
Shepperd stated, and he believed
that the farmers would find it to
be just what they wanted. The
professor gave opportunity for any
one who wished to ask questions
and several were propounded, the
answers to which were readily Civ
en-.
In rising to introduce the Lyric
quartet Conductor Greeley took
occasion to say that he had tried
bronze grass in South Dakota and
found it very valuable. He was a
believer in it and thought it filled
a long Ielt want.
The quartet sang and then Pres
ident Worst gave brief but inter-
esting talk. He started in by say
ing that in just 30 minutes the
ball game would begin and that he
was going to see that game, SO the
audience would understand that
they were not to have long speech
fired at them. He said that the
farmers cultivate enthusiasm in
their calling and that good judg-
ment in farming was necessity.
Proper cultivation would, in fact,
preserve the fertility of the soil
and poor cultivation would in time
destroy it. These statements ha

HEROISM IN THE FLOOD.
Brave Men Who Saved Others From
Drowning.

Houston, Tex. Sept. 10.-W. M. Wall
of this city, who has summer home at
Morgan's Point, relates the escape of
Mrs Wall and others who would have
perished but for the herOism Uf James
Black, a Well-known merchant at Nor
gan'si Point. Mrs. Wall returned to the
city on the first rescue tram that went
down to the point. She had left William
Jones in charge of her house to visit
the Black hotel, a block distant, where
she was to take carriage to reach the
depot to return to this city Saturday
evening. This was the last that was seen
of the faithful Jones.
my wife had not been long at the ho-
tel where she was taking supper when
Mr. Black rushed in to the dining room
and called upon all to flee for their lives"
said Mr.. Wall. "The tidal wave was on
them three or four feet deep. Mr.. Black
they could leave the hotel to go to a
higher point some four or six blocks
away, the rushing waters were all about
them thre or four feet deep. Mr.. Black
struggling against the elements bore my
wife in safety to the Vincent home, mir
aculously escaping being crushed by
heavy log which the rushing waters
carried along the pathway of escape.
"Returning Immediately to the hotel,
Mr.. Black in like manner brought safely

mother His next act of hero1sm was TO

IS A NARROWING TALE.
Death on Every Side-Property Loss
Will Reach Millions.

Houston, Texas Sept. 10.-A scene of
desolation, not only at Galveston, but at
many other points at Texas, is the con-
dition presented today as result of Sat
urday's storm. Estimates Of the number
OF dead are placed between 500 and 1000.
The property loss will aggregate many
millions Of dollars, although no accurate
figures can be given ~ present. The
streets of Galveston are mostly under
water. wires are in a hopeless tangle and
dead bodies are strewn among floating
debris No complete list of dead is OBJ
tainable until the water recedes. Har-
rowing tales of the loss of whole families
and many miraculous escapes are told
by the few survivors who have thus far
reached this city. The relief trains which
arrived here early this morning, have
been the only means of communication
with Galveston and definite information
as to the present situation is scarce. The
cotton and rice crop throughout the dis
trict devasted by the storm is badly dam
aged in many places, and in others to-
tally destroyed.
Reports from Richmond, Texas, Letitia,
and Eagle Lake, bring additional lists of
dead and property losses and many PAGES
cut off from all communication are yet
to be heard from.

tors and Reymerschoffer mill are wrecks.
They are not down, but their roofs and
top stories have gone and grain stored
therein has probably been ruined by the
rain The damage to the ships at this
time when the demand for tonnage is sc
great, is regarded as one Of the worst
features of the disaster from a business
standpoint. None of the vessels are ir-
retrevably lost, but it will take some
time to get the boats off and to get them
repaired, even though they are not
wrecks.
In the business portion of the city, the
damage cannot be even apprOximated.
The buildings along the Strand had
about seven feet of water on their floors

Of the Moody bank building was blown
