sinking. The German steamer Appen- rade is in a sinking condition, and the German steamers Signal. Petrarch and Emmaluyken are all three ashore. The German steamer Prinz Waldemar was damaged. The Mont Eagle had her sternpost broken. Attempts are being made to float her.
 The river boat Fatshang fouled the French mail boat Polynesian.
 The German steamer Sexta, the Kowloon ferryboat and water boat were also driven ashore.
 The American steamer Sorsogon is awash.
 A Japanese steamer is stranded on Kellet's island.
 The British river gunboat Moorhen is leaking badly, one French torpedo boat destroyer is ashore. and two oth- CTS dragged their. anchors the entire length of the harbor.
 Pearl river was crowded with boats, and the storm sent hundreds to the bot tom. It is impossible now to estimate correctly the number who perished, as the greatest loss of life was among the natives.
 Among the few ships in the harbor which escaped damage is the Empress of Japan, which was saved by the dock company's tugs keeping her steady.
 British government officials immedi- ately started to succor the homeless.
 Numerous steam launches and light CTS foundered, and most of the wooden piers on the water front were demol- ished.
 It is now said that between 300 and 400 lives were lost in the typhoon.
 The storm broke suddenly, lasted two hours, destroyed innumerable na- tive craft and caused much loss of life. The harbor is literally strewn with wreckage, and the streets of the city are blocked with debris.
 Since 1S43, when Hongkong became a British possession, it has been one of the great seapOrts of the world. Its population is 100000, and no port on the globe has so large an export trade. Even in point of tonnage 1t ranks third.
 Ships flying the flags of all nations ride at anchor in the harbor, and large numbers of merchantmen are constant ly arriving or clearing from the port. The year round the bay is busy spot.

ROCK ISLAND WRECK
Engine and Train Plunge Into
 Cimarron River.
DEAD, HURT, MISSING
Accident Due to DriftwOod Filling Up eAgainst Bridge, Which Collapsed With Train Running at High
 Rate of Speed.

GUTHRIE, Okla., Sept 19.-Eight persons are dead, twenty more or less injured and as many more missing as the result of the wrecking of a Rock Island passenger train in the Cimar- ron river, three miles from Dover, Okla.
 The engine, tender, baggage and mail cars. smoking car and day coach of passenger train No. 12, northbound, left the high bridge that spans the Ci- marron river and plunged into the stream. which is flanked by treacher- ous quicksands. The locomotive disap- peared almost immediately. The mail and baggage clerks escaped from their cars and swan to the shore.
 The accident was due to driftwood which piled against the bridge and swerved it out of line.
 The train was an hour late and was running at high speed. The engineer did not see the condition of the bridge until he was within few yards of 1t. He shouted to his fireman and jump ed. He landed on the verge of the river and escaped unhurt. The fireman sustained severe injuries.
 When the engine struck the bridge the structure collapsed, ,precipitating the engine, smoking car and day coach into the water. Two Pullmans re mained on the track.
 The current whirled the day coach down stream and lodged 1t against a sand bank. The occupants were help ed out through the doors and win dows. The smoking car f1oated to q sand bar, and four men were seen to chamber through the windows and pull themselves on top of the car, calling loudly for help. Those on shore were unable to reach them on account of the high water, and while they were beg ging for assistance a mass of drift wood swept them away.
 Three other men crawled through the rear door of the smoking car and were rescued.
 The most authentic accounts place the number of passengers in the smok- ing car at between twenty-five and thir- ty. With few exceptions they have not been accounted for
 It may be impossible to ascertain the exact number of dead for several days. Many of those reported missing may show up safe at some point down the Cimarron.
 Sheriff J. P. Love of Kingflsher, who was in the smoking car, asserts that there were at least thirty in that car. He said:
 Just as the car was turning on its side I fought my way to the rear and forced my body through the door. When came to the surface I was swept downstream by the heavy cur rent. When in the last stages of ex- haustion I touched bottom and drew myself up on the bank. There were at least thirty others in the smoking car. I saw two besides myself escape 2
 Colonel H. O. Wright of Denver has been brought in at Kingfisher, Ohla., after having fioated on some wreckage about nine miles from the wreck. He was rescued by farmers.

 PHILADELPHIA, Sept 19. - While undergoing an X ray examination at the Polyclinic hospital Martin F. Murphy, a Renova (Pa) banker. one of the richest men in the state, died as though stricken by lightning. Mir. Murphy passed q rigid physical examination before going into the chair, and his heart action was pronounced perfect. Surgeons believed some unknown qual- ity entered the ray and killed.
 The examination was made to deter mine whether Mir. Murphy was afilct- ed with cancer.
 The ray entered the throat on the left side two inches below the ear and penetrated dlagonally down and through the chest to a point of emer- gence below the eighth rib. The course of the ray was directly through the heart.
 AS it flashed upon Murphy he stiff- ened strangely. The ray was turned ofY. and it was found that he was stone dead

The Public karYe|s At the Wonderful Cures That Are Being Made bv Dr. Horter and
 His New Method

Dr Horter has built up very large practice in Waterbury.
 Every one praises his skill and marvels at his success, who have had his treatment. He makes no prepOs- terous claims, but shows the results. Catarrh Is his great speciality. He cures even very bad cases that have been given up. Many people think they have deafness when 1t is only stopping up of the ears with ca tarrh. Many people are running down into cOnsumptive's grave when the treatment of catarrh is all they need.
 Nine out of ten people who have stomach, liver and bowel troubles have only internal catarrh, and near ly every case of kidney disease is ca tarrhal. Most cases of female weak ness Is due to catarrh of the pelvis and can be cured thoroughly.
 Dr HOrter understands catarrh. He has made a special life study of 1t in this country and in Europe. That Is why he cures when others do not know how to cure In this climate. Dr Horter knows how. You may consult him any day at his office 3I7 West Main street, near Willow street.

Intensive dairying is that kind of
dairying that tries to make the great
est use of the farm and farm equip
mcnt. In the United States we have
formed the opinion that Il mar cannot
AFFORD 10 do dairyiug on land that is
worth more than 800 an acre. There
must be some fault with this conclu-
sion. The European dairymen are
working upon land worth 5000 to $500
an acre. They are importing iced
from the United States, especially
bran and cotton seed, for the feeding
Of their COWS. Then they are sending
their butter 10 England To enter INTO
competition with Anerican-made but
ter. We can only conclude that these
European dairymcn are working upon
Il more intensive plan than the Amer
lean dairymCu. We know that many
Of them have cows Of far higher quail
ity than have the farmers Of this
country. Certainty n American farm

THE BARK LOUISE.
Pest Which Attacks Apple and Other
Trees-Methods of Treat

The most common scale.insect of

where present, and sometimes quite
conspicuous, it most often attacks
trees hat for some reason are un-
healthy. and therefore poorly fitted
to support the extra drain put on them
by the scale. A strong, healthy tree
ordinarily can bear the presence Of II
few OF these insects. without much
apparent injury. and they may he

bers without their presence being de.
tected.
The scales of these insects are elon.

shells, with the cast skins at the
smaller ends. They are brown in
color. Underneath a scale will be
found n cluster Of yellowish-whitish
eggs, plainly TO be seen through an
ordinary magnifying glass. The scales
are about O%ne-eiGhth inch in length. or
smaller, and they usually cluster to.
gethcr as shown in Fig. /. Found
most frequently on the lilac; fond
also of the silver maple.
About the middle of May (later or
earlier, according to latitude) the
eggs under the scales hatch into tiny
lice which appear as mere specks to
the un"ided eye. These lice, for a
few days, move around on the bark,
sucking the sap, and growing more
robust each day. Finally, they get
thai "home feeling" decide 90 settle
down, and begin to build a scaly roof
Of their own, overhead.
The remedies for this pest are:
First, give the tree a tonic and Il good
rundown. Fertilizers. pruning and
cultivation will help the tree to better
general health; and a brisk %scrubbing
Of trunk and main limbs with a very
stiff brush or sCraper, will get rid Of
many Of the scales. An old broom
with the brush cut short makes an
excellent %scrubbing implement. Keep
1t wet with whale-oil soap solution.
Then. sometimes in May, watch for
the hatched-out lice. When they ap.
pear, get out the spray pump and
thoroughly spray the entire tree with
whale-oil soap solution, made as fol.
lows: Dissolve one pound of whale.
oil soap in a gallon Of hot water. and
dilute with about six gallons of cold
water.
Another scale insect, that may be
classed with the ~0ystershell bark
louise so far as its economic impor.
lance is concerned. is the scurfy bark.
louise Of the pear and apple. This
scale (Fig. - is white in color, and,
like the oystershell pest. is most
apt to work on poorly fortified and
poorly cultivated trees.
The scurfy scale is readily recog.
ni2ed on account of its whitish. cotton.

opinion of the Farm Journal there is
no better remedy for all scale insects
