THOUSAND PERISH IN STORM
Islands Hear Mouth of Yangtse Inundated
Daring TyphOOn.
ALL OF THE INHABITANTS ARE DROWNED
Land IL Only slightly Elevated Above
Normal Level of the water and
Are Swept by Ocean
Waves. e

VICTORIA, B. c., oct. s-The steamer
Tartar, which arrived last night from the
orient brought news from Shanghai that
the loss of life among natives of the
islands at the mouth of the Yangtse river
as a result of the typhoon at the beginning
of September was tremendous. The North
China Daily News of Shanghai says: ITO
the east of Tamagming two islands, one
called Yawoshaw, the other Shihousha
distant about twenty miles from Woosung
have suffered much from the typhoon,
nearly all the inhabitants having been
swept away. The islands have only been
inhabited for a short time, comparatively
speaking as they are of recent formation
and are not much above the high water
mark 1t is reported that nearly 1000 peo-
pie have been drowned on these islands
and the smaller islands adjacent Tamag-
ming itself has not suffered much, being
we'll above the high water mark"
The Shanghai paper says that the dam
age to the Canadian Pacific liner Empress
OF Japan by the typhoon will necessitate
the expenditure of 100000 for repairs.
During the storm the steamer Pechili,
formerly the Rio de Grande du Sol, foun-
dered near the mouth of the Yangtse. Its
crew OF fifty-four was saved by the German
steamer Albenga, whose officers and crew
did heroic work. But one Chinese was
drowned.

mayor PUTS ON WAR PAINT
Inclined to soOrs Council for Manner in
Which Recommendation Are Treated.
STREET SWEEPER PLAN NOT ABANDONE D
Number of other Matters Called 60
Attention of Council Have Not
Been Acted Upon as Promptly
as He Deslres.

An interesting session of the city coun-
ell is looked for tonight. as II is expected
that Mayor Macrae will say a few things
TO the aldermen. He is not feeling at all
satisfied with the manner in which the
aldermen turned down his recommended
ton as to the auto street sweeper and
sprinkler. There are also other matters
which the mayor called the attention Of
the city council to in his communication
two weeks ago, but which yet have
not received the consideration which he
considers they were entitled to.
Mayor Macrae, II Is stated, WILL de-
spite the opposition Of certain of the
aldermen, take up the cudgel again in be-
half OF his street cleaning plan by the
combination auto machine. He says that
i'm this plan he has the support of the
Commercial club and that the leasing Of
the machine will be a means of materially
decreasing the expense of keeping the
streets clean.
Another matter which the mayor will
insist shall receive attention at the hands
of the aldermen is that of providing win
ter quarters for the Indian creek dredge.
Nothing has been done in the matter and
the dredge is still moored in the creek
near the southern limits of the city.
Mayor Macrae recommended that the
city council take the necessary steps to
compel the Burlington and Great Western
railroads to maintain gates at their Main
street crossings. and, while the aldermen
viewed the suggestion with favor, up to
date nothing has been done in the mat
ter. Some definite decision in the matter
of replacing the electric light tower at
Broadway and First street is looked for
| tonight, as residents of that vicinity want
either the tower replaced or the lights
| conveniently distributed.
| Referring to the manner In which some
of his recommendations had been received
by the members OF the city council Mayor
Macrae yesterday said almost destroyed
his ambition to make clean street city
out of Council Bluffs and to urge other
measures for the betterment of the COM

The first lesson that the young girl
has of womanhood is usually painful
one. She learns to know what head
ache means, and backache, and some
times is sadly borne down by this new
experience of life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such a
time may, in almost every instance, be
entirely prevented or cured by the use
of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t establishes regularity. 1t tones up
the general health, and cures headache,
backache, nervousness, chorea, or st.
Vitus's dance, and other consequences
of womanly weakness or disease.
MOTHER OF THE FAMILY.
The anxious mother OF the family
oftentimes carries the whole burden of
responsibility 80 far as the home med
ication of common ailments of the girls
or boys are concerned. The cost of the
DOCTORS visits are very often much too
great. At such times the mother is
invited to write to DR.. r. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, n. Y, for medical advice,
which is given free. Correspondence is
held sacredly confidential.
1T STANDS ALONE.
cFavorite Prescription" is the only
medicine for women the makers of
which are not afraid to print just what
it is made of on every bottle wrapper.
1t is the only medicine for women
every ingredient of which has the unan-
imous endorsement of all the lead
ing medical writers of this country,
recommending it for the cure Of the
very same diseases for which this "Pre-
scription" is advised.
MOTHERS LOVE.
A mothers love is so divine that the
toughest man cannot help but appre-
ciate it as the crown of womanhood.
However, motherhood is often looked
forward TO with feelings OF great dread
by most women. At such times a
woman is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable,
and she is in need of a uterine tonic
and nervine, a strength builder to fit
her for the ordeal. No matter how
healthy or strong a woman may be she
cannot but be benefited by taking DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription TO prepare
for the event. 1t makes childbirth easy
and often almost painless.

STANDS BY RUSSIAN ALLIANCE
Paris Paper Points Out Reasons Why
Il should Remain I'm
Eject.

PARIS. Oct. s.-The necessity for main
tanning a Franco Russian alliance is Wig
orously urged in the course of a leading
article in the semi-oficial Temps, which
points out that the public opinion Of both
countries is in favor OF continuing the
alliance The article adds that the ac-
cords with italy and Great Britain served
TO allay annoying Observation-Disclosures; that
both were the natural outcome of events
and that France ought categorically to
refuse to renounce them. The Temps
however, does not favor an Anglo French
alliance, which, II says, would be useful
to Great Britain, but compromising to
France and would probably create trouble
In Europe.

LONDON. Oct s.-The colonization
scheme of General Booth of the Salvation
Army appears to have collapsed as far as
Australia is concerned. General Booth pro-
posed to send out 5000 families, provided
the Australian government would give them
land The government announced its will
lingness to consider the scheme. but the
colony called loudly for a process of selec-
ton in order to prevent the immigration OF
needy colonists. AS a result General Booth
has cabled Alfred Deakin, prime minister
OF Australia, expressing his regret that
owing TO these difficulties he cannot pro-
coed with an effort that is likely to involve
conflict.

The annual picnic of the Council Bluffs

spect. Barring the dust for a while during
the afternoon the weather was all that
could be desired. There was a fluttering
attendance among the crowd being many

A feature of the affair was the catfish
bake, presided over by Augustine" the
noted expert in that line. Three hundred
pounds Of fish had been supplied but this
proved entirely inadequate and late corners
had to be disappointed.
During the afternoon there were a num-
Der of races and other sports. the prizes
