The storm was the most severe
that Pensacola has ever experienced
considering the length of duration. On
July Z, 1896, the wind reached n We
locity of 100 miles per hour, but the
storm was of comparatively short du-
ration. At that time the barouetric
pressure was 2S.93 inches.
During Wednesday night the total
precipitation was 3.S inches, and dur
ing the height of the storm the in
strument house of the weather bu-
reau. on top of the custom house, was
blown away.

Mondell for congress by the republi-
cans of Wyoming reflects great credit
upon the people of that state, for his
nomination by the republicans is
equivalent to his election, and hence
the action taken may be considered
that of the whole state.
"Mr. Mondell has made a highly
c%reditable representative, and he is so
much esteemed that he has attained
a rank of distinction among the mem
bers of the house, and among the de-
partment officials his influence is very
potent. 1t is because he is a man OF
ability and he has been faithful and
careful in the discharge of his duties.
"Wyoming is known to possess
great influence in Washington, al
though a state of but small popula-
ton. This is due in part to the
standing of its senators, but also in a
large measure to the recognition
which is so freely given Mr.. Mondell.
He has been remarkably successful in
securing for his constituents what
ever they want or need, and he has
done excellent service in this way not
alone for Wyoming, but also for other
parts of the Rocky mountains.
"He will certainly be elected by a
large majority, it makes no difference
whom the democrats may nominate
against him. The people of Wyo-
ming will continue to send him to
Washington, not only because they
delight to honor him, but also be-
cause they know that he can advance
their interests with the national gov
eminent better than any man who
might be chosen in his place"

Lock out for banana peeling! We
have noticed a number of Feelings
that had been carelessly thrown on
the sidewalks here in town the past
month. Hardly anything could be
more dangerous to pedestrians than
this same deadly banana peel, for one
car scarcely step on one without fall
ing. Children should be warned
against throwing them on the side
walk and they should also be warned
to pick them up. when seen IN the
sidewalk, and cast them into the
street. More limbs have been broken
by stepping on banana peeling than

MUD HENS AGAIN
CLOUT NAGLE
T0MAN DRIVES BALL FOR A
HOME RUN
Avalanche Of Hits Prove Angels Un-
doing, and Portland Runs Up
Total Of Sixteen
Bingles
Portland IL, Angels 6

Ambition mast be Ralph Nagles be-
setting sin, for after having witnessed
eight runs scored off his delivery Tues
day the slender twirler again essayed
to pitch yesterday, with the result that
Mercedes men literally lambasted his
offerings from one end of the lot to the
other.
The Angel lnheld, while receiving but
two errors, were evidently not inn
pressed with Nagle's methods, and some
very punk ball ensued that would have
made an amateur bunch feel badly.
Cap Dillon was in a bad humor and
in no uncertain terms applied his disap-
probation to the Angel headwork But
Nagle was so bad that some excuse is
to be dished out for the half-hearted
play.
One scintillating episode frightened
the proceedings from a Seraphc view
point, and when Jimmy Toman clouted
the sphere over the center field fence
there was an outburst of joy.
Manager Henry Berry suggested to
Jimmy just before his time at bat in
the second inning that a new hat would
be in order should James come through
with a rousing hit. James has not
knocked home run in three years, but
with Cap Dillon on first and new hat
hanging in the balance Jimmy was
equal to almost any occasion and re-
sponded by banging the leather over
the boundaries.
Berry has an unusually large supply
of Dunlaps on hand as a result of
wagers with the Leans prior to the
great ringer contest recently in which
Henry's Fats secured a victory
The game was rather ragged, and
beyond Toman's hot there was nothing
but the monotonous and frequent hit
ting of the Portland stickmen.
Dillon will probably use Randolph
today, and the red-topped twirler ap-
pears likely to give the Mud Hens a
struggle.

MOTORISTS LONG
FOR DOWNPOUR
DUSTY ROADS INTERFERE
WITH TOURING
AutomobiIIsts Realize Value Of Move
ment Tending Toward the De-
veIopement Of Fine Thor
oughfares

Southern California autoists will vote
the weather man a good fellow should
he mix some sort of concoction to please
old Father PluYius in the near future.
OF late the roads have become very
dusty, and until good rain sets in
motoring must take somewhat of a
back seat. AS each dry season brings
thoughts of well ordered boulevards to
mind, there is another cry for a good
roads movement, and 1t cannot be long
ere heroic methods will be taken to in
sure comfort throughout the year.
Hot weather would scarcely interfere
in Southern California, as the torrid
period is brief one and not calculated
to stop the trend of automobillng. Poor
roads, however, dishearten the most OPP
timistic, and as a result a slow season
invariably enters into the local motor
ing world.
In the pioneer days when cars were
smaller and men were generally their
own chauffeurs, 1t was considered
sportsmanliRe to be strenuous and to
ride in the winter in an open car. The
enthusiasts of a few years ago would
have scorned an inclosed body as some
thing effeminate. Now 1t is vastly diff
ferent, and the limousine body is COM
ing more and more into vogue for win
ter use, and they no longer have to be
imported.
The manufacturers of the lower grade
cars do not make them, but practically
all the best made American cars have
limousine models. In the case of the
Arrow cars, a speciality is being made
now of this type, the factory being run
late into the summer to put out sepa-
rate line with a new style of body for
the fall trade.
In the number of breakdowns that
occurred during the elimination trial
Of the Vanderbilt race is found con-
siderable justification for the criticism
of some conservative makers that the
rate of speed has reached a point where
the weight limit of 2204 pounds is too
low, and racing cars are built too light
to stand the racking incidental to 95
miles an hour.
President Charles Clifton of the Asso-
citation of Licensed Automobile Manu-
facturers, in commenting upon the Van
derbilt elimination race, said 1t was a
further demonstration of the superior
operation of the licensed makers, as
four of the five cars that finished were
licensed machines. while the fifth Is of
q brand not being made for market. 1t
was reinforcement Of the demonstra-
ton made on the Glidden tour, when
twelve of the thirteen cars that fin
ished with perfect scores were of Ii
censed make.
