Galveston. Tex, Aug. 18-While it
has been impossible up to the pres.
ent time for the representatives of
the press atValparaiso to get through
any sort of complete story of the
damage done by the earthquake that
swept over the South American coast
from the meagre advices that have
reached this city by way of the
Southern cable, and also from the
ceived it is possible at this hour to
arrive at an apparently safe estimate
of the result of the horror. 1t Is by
no means so destructive as the San
Francisco earthquake so far as the
monetary damage is concerned, but
the loss of life will be much larger
and the cities that are stricken are
not in position to command the aid
that the Golden Gate metropolis
could.

The damage in Valparaiso is most
severe. SO far as the news received
here indicates. about one quarter of
the city is in ruins and every one has

Watson Got Big Ovation.

Congressman Watson was to have
spoken at the meeting last year. but
on account of the postponGment was
chosen the first speaker this year and
when he arose to begin his address he
was enthusiastically received. He
BEGAN by saying: My friend Kuhn
and myself have agreed to divide the
d, time equally and during the course OF
our remarks nothing of n political ma
ture will be said" The Congressman
then spoke Of tie great work the
pioneers of Wayne County had ac-
complshcd and of the great honor
that should be bestowed upon their
memories, for the firm foundation
they had laid for the building of the
greatest nation Of earth.
Congressman Watson's tribute to
the pioneers of the "old burnt dis
trict." was highly eloquent and char
acteristic Of the speaker. He inter
spersed his address frequently with
anecdotes OF a humorous nature and
had the audience in the best spirits
throughout. One amusing thing oc-

hearty laugh at the sally Of Watson
and the minister candidate smiled
broadly.
Mr.. Watson closed his remarks with

all for the benefit of the human race
and how the men of today with a

State Fair
WILL Be GRAND SUCCESS
Oct. y to Fl

everybody is going to the Greater
state Fair this year. Preparations are
peing made to entertain about twice
as many as were there last year. and
mat was about the biggest crowd in
the history of the fairs. This year the
foremost feature will be the home
coming" celebrations. Every South
Carolinian, no matter where he lives
now, is eXpec ed to be in Columbia
that week. Indications are that
thousands Of people from all over the
United States will take advantage of
this opportunity to come and renew
friendships and see their dear old
home again. If you have any relative
or friends living in other states, write
them about this home coming"
week. Do it right now. And make
them come. The railroads have been
prevailed upon to give the cheapest
rates, ONE FARE FOR THE ROUND
TRIP.
AS to the fair itself everything will
be in great shape. The new buildings
have been put in apple-pie order and
the grounds trimmed up. The en-
frances and exits have been rear
ranged so that there will be no trouble
as to handling crowds twice as large
aS HSletOlOle.
The fair will start this year on
Monday, October % and will run five
full days, ending on the night of the
27th. Every day will bring forward
some new and interesting feature.
And the raccS-four days-will be the
finest ever seen in the South. The
track at the fas grounds now is the
fastest in the South. Some Of the
hest horses on the track will be in
these races. John l.. Sullivan will
give pugilistic exhibitions.
For those who enjoy such things,
the theaters and dances will be OF
the highest order even oclipsing all
previous years.
Everybody you know will be at the
fair this year. Make your arrange
ments and be on hand from start to
finish. Ample arrangements are being
made for the accommodation OF all
visitors. And the street car service
to and from the grounds will be
helped out by the railroads as special
trains will be run every day to and
from the Fair Grounds. There will be
no inconvenience. Just lots OF fun
and a jolly good time for everybody.

.iten by Dog, Dies in
Agony.
Austrian Seemed to Have
Recovered, but Wound
Wasn't Healed.

Vienna, Sept. 24.-HarrowIng
details are reported concerning
the death Of strong man, aged
43, who was the victim of bite
from dog. His name was Albiu
Boehm, and he was the owner of
an estate at Promontor, near Bu-
da. Pesth. Four weeks ago, o,while
playing with a small dog, Boehm
was bitten in the hand. The
wound healed, and he thought
no more of it.
Last week Boehm became un.
well, and the doctors ascribed
the illness to the bite. They
sent Boehm to the Pasteur In
stitute at Buda- Pesth, where the
doctors recognized the symptoms
of rabies, and inoculated the pa
tient. They wished also to iso-
late him in separate room,
but Boehm returned home, and
informed his wife that he was
irretrievably lost. In deep grief
they embraced each other, and
said farewell.
Boehm's condition became so
much worse that he was conduct
ed again the next day, in the
company of two policemen, to
the Pasteur Institute, and the
doctors certified that nothing
could be done. The unhappy
man declared he would die at
home, so, with two strong attend
ants, he returned home to Pro.
monitor, where he was placed in
a separate room in his house.
Before the open door stood
the two. attendants, with two
policemen. Thus, Boehm could
speak through the door to his
family and friends. Finally he
became very weak, so he took to
his bed, then called the attend.
ants, who strapped HIM down,
after which violent attack
seIzed him and caused his death.
After the death of her hus
band, the unhappy widow stated
that she also had been bitten by
the dog, and, as she had also re-
peatedly kissed her husband,
she was taken to the Buda Pesth
Pasteur Institute.
