BIG STORM ON GULF
WIND BLEW SEVENTY MILES AN
HOUR AT MOBILE.
Various Reports Of Drowning in the Bay
Communication Destroyed In All Direc.
tiOns-No Report From Fort Morgan,
Where Two Companies Of Coast Artillery
Are Stationed.

Mobile, Aug. 19.-The tropical
storm, which has been raging for sew
eral days past, is believed to have been
the severest in the vicinity of Mobile.
The wind blew at the rate Of 70 miles
an hour for some time. Various re-
ports OF the drowning of men in the
bay have reached here, but it is i'm
possible to confirm them, owing to
the complete demolition of commu-
nication. The yacht Ariel, bound
for Fish river with party of Mobile
people on board, is reported to have
pounded to pieces on the wharf at
Battles, on the eastern shore OF the
bay. Nothing has been heard of the
crew. The pleasure yacht Mayflower,
of this city with party OF prominent
people on board, reported rs lost this
morning, has been heard from. All
on board found refuge on Cat island,
but the boat was wrecked.
Nothing has been heard from Fort
Morgan. Two companies OF coast
artillery are stationed there. The
barracks undoubtedly received the
full force of the blow. No commune
cation can he had with any of the
islands in Mississippi Sound. just
outside the bay, 40 miles below here.
All the news concerning the fate of
the islanders must come by boat, and
this is anxiously awaited.
Logging camps and mills have suf-
fered considerable loss by the break
ing of booms. Sawlogs and squared
timber drifted into Mobile all day,
much OF it coming up on Royal
street, three blocks from the water
front. Much damage was done in
Mobile in the way of urrooting trees,
unroofng houses and topping over
chimneys. The power houses of the
electric railway were flooded, and cleo
trio car service was shut down for sew
eral hours. All business in the whole
sale district was suspended. Care
had been taken to elevate lower floor
goods upon temporary platforms and
the grocer suffered little loss. The
grain men were caught to some extent.
The tracks of the Louisville &
Nashville Southern, and Mobile &
Ohio pass through Commerce street,
and were under water, traffic being
stopped entirely. The Mobile &
Ohio is operating trains from Whist
Ter, 10 miles out, and the Louisville
4 Nashville received one train during
the afternoon. A small schooner
laden with resin for New Orleans over

DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH.
Worry, Troub and Wrinkles Come
Recause ~ eais.s LIZ, N Il LIE !.

Worry, Troub and Wrinkles Come
Because OF esir-s Tn ulfille,.
A woman who looked far younger
than her years was asked the reason
for her youth and for the buoyant spirit
she showed on every occasion.
Her explanation, given after a mo-
ment's thought, was very simple one.
Il believe" she said, lit is because
never expect too much of people,"
blessed are those who expect moth
ing. for they shall not be disappointed"
said Jeanne Carlyle in one of her pessi-
mistic moods; but blessed are those
who do not expect too much" has an
entirely different ring, and Is a good.
wholesome maxim for the regulation
OF ones life.
A large amount Of worry and trouble
comes from our too great expectations
Of people. We expect too much Of our
children, for example. They must be
gifted. beautiful. Obedient, little COM
pendiums of all the virtues, and If they
are not all this we think bitter things
and SOW wrinkles and gray hairs and
ill-health for ourselves. What right
have we to expect so much of our own
children? Blessed Is the parent who
looks tolerantly and philosophically
on the faults of his children, and who
realizes that he has no right to expect
too much of children as long as the law
of heredity holds good. Unless we our
selves are gifted. beautiful and obedi-
ent to the will of somebody else, we
have no right to expect such perfec-
lions of our children, says the Ladies'
World.
The housekeeper expects too much Of
her servants, and she grows old and
worn and ill-natured and unlOvely in
the disappointments that she encoun-
ters every time she crosses the kitchen
threshold. She expects order. cleanli-
ness, regularity and scientific cookery
from solvenly, unframed Bridget or
Dinah, and because she does not real
lie her expectations she develops into
a domestic pessimist.
Not till we reach the golden age OF
cooperative housekeeping may we ex-
pect to find the high virtues of cleanli-
ness, order and scientific knowledge
embodied in our cooks; so we might
as we'll lower our expectations and take
the needless strain from our tired
nerves.
Marriage Is declared failure. chiefly
because man expects mere woman to
exhibit the projections Of an angel, and
woman expects mere man to live on
the lofty plane Of demigod.
Blessed are the bride and groom who
do not expect too much of each other.
Their way is not likely to lead to the
divorce court, and 1t may branch out
in the direction of the kingdom Of
heaven.
But what has become Of all our high
ideals and all our thigh hopes and
high DESIRES" as the poet says? Well,
IL we must have these. let us have them
for ourselves alone. Exercise healthy
federation toward other people. but
hold up the highest possible standard
for our precious selves. We shall be
perfectly safe in doing this, for we are
not likely to grow cross, pessimistic
and prematurely old in worrying over
our own ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Herald.

Answer to Skaters General Strike Order
Sixty Thousand Men Now Out.

Pittsburg, Aug. 14.-Thc struggle
for mastery between manufacturers
and men in the steel strike is now
fairly launched, and on the first
show of strength advantage is with
the former. The general strike order
issued by President Shafier, of the
Amalgamated Association, has so far
been obeyed by only about IA, 900
men, according to the best figures OBJ
tainable here. The first two calls
were answered by about As, 600 men,
so that the total number now out is
in the neighborhood of 10000. The
strikers made gains here today over
the showing of last night, and their
prospects for further accessions at
both McKeesport and Wheeling dur
ing the week are very favorable.
The action of the Amalgamated men
at Chicago, Joliet and Bayview in re-
fusing to come out, and their failure
to secure any recruits in the Carnegie
group throughout the Kiskiminetas
valley. and in the big plants at
Youngstown and Columbus, o., have
been marked by disappointment to
them. They are keeping up the
fight, however, in spirited manner,
and claim that they have strength in
reserve which will surprise their OPP
ponents. They assert that they have
gained foothold in the Carnegie
mills in this city, and at the time de
sired the men will come out. They
are pressing their advantage at Nc
Keesport and Wheeling and their Or
ganizers are still at work in those
towns. President Shaffer has decided
to visit Wheeling, and will address a
mass meeting of his followers. He

responses to it will be liberal.

rulf1 led PrOnhccy.

In IeO ffODueCys
We have been re-reading the proph-
ecy of Mr.. C. Wood Davis. issued about
ten years ago, in which he said that as
in 1850 the United States exported
enough of grain. hay and cotton to sup
ply 6,645,OOO people in other countries.
and in 1885 enough to supply 4.3OO,OOO.
that by 1895 we should have to buy
food and cotton for 100000 of our own
people ut home, and in 1900 enough for
5,475,OOO. We said then that we had
no faith in his figures. and that we be-
lieved the cultivation of some of the
then unimproved land and better meth
dds of production would enable us to
feed and clothe our population and
have surplus for other nations not
only in 1900, but for many decade
after that. We are thankful that we
have lived to find that in 1900 our ex-
ports Of agriculture products not only
grain. hay and cotton. but many other
things have not decreased In value or
amount below the amount we sent out
IN 1885 and 1890, but have made a
handsome increase, and it will yet be
many years before all our available
land will be titled or grazed, and many
more before we shall have reached our
largest capacity Of production. The
average crops as reported by the last
census are far from being 0ne-half, and
are scarcely one-third of what good
farmers call good crop. Figures are
deceiving sometimes.-New England

Notes About Fruit.

In the market buyers sometimes pre-
fer small but fully ripened stra wberries
to larger ones picked too green.
The grape is considered the most
healthful Of all fruits Every one who
has garden. a yard or wall can grow
grapes.
In starting young orchard look af.
ter the trees often. and wherever limb
Is found crossing another limb cut it
out.
Plum trees should be sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture. but 1t should be
weaker than for apples. or 1t will burn
the foliage.
Apple. pear and plum trees should he
planted in every poultry yard. They
will afford shade for the fowls and tho
poultry will destroy many insects.
Plum trees do not generally require
as much pruning as apple trees. Prun.
ing should be done as early In the
spring as possible. before the sap
starts.
There is no section of country where
some variety of every kind of fruit
will not do well. Experiment with
fruit until you find varieties suited to
your locality.
Most plums should be picked for
market a few days before they are
thoroughly ripe. Even for home use
they are better just before they are per.
fectly ripe.-Germantown Telegraph.

Attempt on the Life Of Edward Newton, oil
Baker City.


Baker City.
Baker City, Aug. 14.-Ed Newton
and Miss Anna George, both highly
respected and widely known young
people of this city, have been engaged
to be married for some time. In
July Mr.. Newton received two threat
ening letters demanding that he cease
all attentions to the young woman.
No heed was paid to the letters.
Last Sunday Newton was accosted on
the street by a strange young man,
who seemed to be from the country.
After some conversation the stranger
proffered box and invited him to
eat candy. He took several pieces
and at once became violently i'll.
The physicians pronounced it case
of arsenical poisoning, and barely
saved his life.
The fact as to the poisoning was
suppressed until yesterday when New
ton received another anonymous
letter filled with filthy abuse and
stating that as the candy did not
finish him, they would get him yet
unless he left town by tonight. New
toms attorney sent the letter to the
postal authorities in Spokane for in
vestigation. He believes he would
recognize the man who gave him the
poisoned candy if he ever saw the
fellow again, and strict search for the
criminal will be made. 1t is under.
stood there are strong suspicious as to
the identity of the author of the at
tempt at poisoning.

Start HOrses slowly.

When the horse has been fed and Is
taken out to work, 1t should be started
in to labor rather easily to get the most
work at the least Inconvenience to the
horse. The reason for this Is not hard
to find. 1t Is simply that during the
feeding time the organs are getting
themselves into condition for digestion
and are possibly even digesting the
feed. A large quantity Of blood Is call
ed away from the other members and
Is poured into the vessels about the
stomach. This blood must all be with
drawn when the horse begins to work
and be supplied to the muscular or
gans where 1t Is most needed. This
change cannot be done all at once. 1t
requires a little time for the blood to
reach the physical demands. IL the
blood has time to make the change by
moderate starting all will be well. II
not. then there is a temporary exhaus.
ton from which 1t may require hours

Running Farm Machinery.

No man can be considered an expert
in running farm machinery unless he
attends to certain points in managing
the machines. First, keep every joint
and bearing we'll oiled. Next see that
all parts which are liable to collect dust

the team is unhitched, and see then
that every nut and bolt is in place ana

Clover Float.

Clover bloat can always be prevent.
ed by keeping the cattle of the clover
while It IL wet with rain or dew. The
usual cause of death when an animal 10
bloated Is congestion of the lungs from
pressure Of the stomach against them.
The flesh Of such animal should be
darker in color from the stoppage Of
blood In the small vessels than the
flesh of an animal butchered. but I do
not believe 1t would poison any one to
eat the flesh Of such animals. The best
remedy for clover bloat Is to make an
opening in the upper part Of the. left
flank with a pocketknife and thrust the
fingers into the opening. Then the gas
will escape at the sides of the finger.
Or use some hollow tube to put into
the opening.
