Costly Works Are Ruined
Mobile Under Water and All
Traffic Suspended. Great
Damage.is Reported
In Other States
From the
Storm.

NEW OI1eSne, L.
With the breaking of day the COM
plete wreck of the city's big re-
vetment levee, built to retain the
waters of Lake Ponchartrain, be-
came apparent. The work on
which the city spent over one
million dollars with the bath and
summer houses and payilions,
which were until yesterday the
pleasure resort of thousands, it
strewn about and the west end Of
the city il. flooded.
Except for this section the city
escaped with comparatively small
damage from the hurricane which
prevailed throughout the gulf
region yesterday. The city was
flooded in various sections. Large
gangs of men were kept constant
ly at work repairing breaks in the
levees, and the pumps were kept
going to keep she foods back. At
the lake levee e was impossible
for the repair gang to cope with
the work of the floods. The effort
was at length abandoned and all
attention was devoted to saving as
much property al possible from
ruin by the water.
From this city TIE storm centre
seems to have passed to Mobile.
That city at an early hour this
morning was cut off from all out
side communication. The floods
had risen to the switchboard in
the telegraph Office when the last
message stopped suddenly. The
streets were then running three to
four feet deep with the water from
the bay, and traffic Of all kinds
was interrupted. The river was
overlooking the l%evees, and it was
apparent that the worst had not
come. Efforts to reestablish COM
munication were begun at day.
light this morning.
The path of the storm seems te
have extended through Alabams
and parts of Mississippi into east
ern Tennessee. Reports from
these regions have been meagre
owing the wires in the path of tn
storm being crippled, but all &C
counts show that great damag
has been done.
Atlanta, August 17.-Com
m~unication with Mobile was re
established this morning. 1t wa
learned that Che water had falle
at least four feet since communi
cation was lost yesterday after
noon. AT 1915 o'clock this morr
ing the operator at Mobile sal
that no loss of life had been r.
ported there up to that hour
Shortly after this information ha
been received wire communicate
with Mobile was again lost.

A VICIOUS DOG.
Capt. j. b. EdgertOn Had a Seri-
Gus Encounter With
One Last Night.


Daily Argus, Aug. 16.
Our good friend and townsman
Capt. j. B. Edgerton had a rer-
sonal encounter with a vicious bull
dog last night shat came near be-
ing of serious consequences. The
Captain was having some water
pipes run through the alley adj
joining his residence to the street,
and the trench being open to near
the edge of the side walk when
the workmen left off last night, a
lighted lantern was placed there
to warn pedestrians. About 8
o'clock in the evening, while the
Captain and his wife were sitting
on their front porch, a couple
of prowling dogs got into a fight
at the mouth of the alley and in
their encounter turned the Ian
tern over. Finally one of the
dogs got away from his antago-
mist and ran off, and Captain Ed
gerton, noticing from his porch
that the lantern was upset, called
to q passing coiored man to adj
just it. This the colored man
! attempted to do, but was driven
Off by the victor dog, who had
! taken charge of the alley. After
a second attempt to adjust the
lantern and again driven off by
the dog, the colored man gave it
up. And then Capt. Edgerton,
armed with a medium walking
stick, went out and entered some
distance into the alley thinking
to brighten the dog away, but nc
sooner had he gotten a few feet
into the alley than he was
bounced upon by the vicious
canine, which proved to be a big
bull dog, and as fast as the Cap.
tain would turn him with q blow
he would spring to the attack
again, and it was only by heroic
blows with his stick, and every
one cody and we'll aimed, thai
the Captain succeeded in keeping
the dog off him until he gradu'
ally backed out to the sidewalk
again, which when he did the
dog remained in the alley, unit
chased out with pistol shots later
in the night.
It was a close call for Captain
Edgerton, and while his friends
congratulated him te-day on hi
gallant retreat he laughed heartily
at the ridiculous side of the situa
ton, which he did not have tim
to see v lille the fight was on.
But there is a serious questio,
connected herewith, aud that
that owner of vicious dogs shool'
not permit them to go at large. I
is against the law. In fact, no on
should be permitted to own
: vicious dog.

Reports of crop acreages continue to
come in from the south end of the coun-
ty. Frank Delling, the Pacific Hotel
proprietor at Milton, tells how sixteen
acre patch OF flax Melted him $500. The
yield was twenty bushels per acre, and
he has just sold it for seed at $500 pei
bushel. When you figure it out and find
that quarter section, at these figures,
means $6,400 out of one years crop it 6
not to be wondered at that more or less
of our prominent business men are taking
up farming as side line.
In the report just issued by State Geo.
logist E j. Babcock, of geological sur
vsy of North Dakota, the altitude OF
Langdon is given at 1910 feet above the
sea level. Pembina has the least eleva-
ton of any of the towns named, 753 feet.
Butte st. Paul, at the summit of the
Turtle Mountains. leads all other points
with an altitude of 24OO feet above the
sea level. The report deals with the
topography of the state, it's mineral re-
sources of clay and coal and an analysis
of the water supply found in various
parts of the state.

John r. Tovey, one of the first settlers
to move into the southwest part of the
county, and who disposed of his farm
holdings III Trier recently, returned Tues
day from trip out to the Pacific coast.
He bought an excursion ticket for
Seattle about ten days ago. but conclu-
ded, on reaching Butte, Mon, that he
had gone far enough. At that place he
met scores of young fellows coming back
"broke," working their way through on
freight trains and "riding on the rods"
All lines of industry are overcowded in
the west, and the inceseant rams OF the
past three weeks on the other side of the
Rocky Mountains has caused COM
plete cessation of outdoor work. The
outlook for a young fellow out west
Tovey says is anything but bright. at
the present time.

In we'll written account of trip to
Bismarck with the press association, the
columns Of the Nelson Co. Independent
tells how its editress, Mrs. Ritchie B.
Doherty met many of her old Cavalier
county friends and of the impressions
she formed of changes that have trans
PRED during the ten years that have
passed: "While at the hotel We met many
old time friends, among whom were
Senator Cashel, of Walsh Co., who to Us
appeared the same, but has grown little
older looking, as he naturally would in
thirteen years; also Senator Laidlsw,
State Treasurer Mcmillan, Editor Lind
strom. Mr.. McDougall, Representative
Mclean, and last, but not least by any
means, Halvor Eorgerson (who has
clerkshlp), all of Cavalier county. It is
not necessary to state the meeting was
very agreeable one to all of us. Senator
Laidlaw looks fully ten years younger
than when we left Langdon 8 years ago
fresh, fat and fair. State Treasurer Nc
MILAN in appearance is the same, hes
few more gray hairs. Dan has changed
in his disposition, is great deal better
natured and feels proud to hear OF his
friends SUCCESS in life. We are thankful
to D. H. for the fattering compliments
bestowed upon us while converting with
him.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Stomach Trouble aud Indigestion.
a Barbarous and Useles One.

We say the old way but really ii is
the common and usual one at the
present time. and many dyspeptics, and
physicians as wei. consider the first
step in attempting To cure indigestion
il to diet. either by selecting certain
food ana rejecting others or to greatly
diminish the quantity Of food usually
taken.
In other words the starvation plan.
is bv many. supposed to be the first IS
sential in the cure of weak digestion.
The almost certain failure Of the
starvation cure for stomach trouble has
been proven time and again but still
the usual advice. when dyspepsia
makes its appearance, is course Of
dieting.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to person suf-
ferjng from dyspepsia because indiges-
ton itself starves every organ and
every nerve and fibre in the body.
What is needed is abundant nutri-
tion. not less. and this means plenty Of
good. wholesome. Well-cooked food and
some natural digestive to assist the
weak stomach to digest IT,
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapt
ed and this is the way they cure the
worst cases Of stomach trouble.
The patient eats plenty of wholesome
food. and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
,;i~ests it for him.
And this is in accordance with nature
and common sense because in this way
n, whole system is nOurished and the
ov.rworked stomach rested. because
rho tablets will digest the food, whether
the stomach works or not. one OF
s.uart's Dyspepsia Tablets viii digest
1900 grains of meat, eggs ana similar
food.
ANY druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is remedy OF
extraordinary value and probably IS
the purest and safest remedy Tor
stomach troubles.

.ion and lack Of appetite can fall TO be
