CUP OF MISERY RUNS OVER
RAIN STORM At MOBILE CAUSES
DAMAGE EQUAL TO THE
HURRICANE.

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 2.-The number
of casualties in the great storm of last
Wednesday is slowly increasing az
messages are received from places
which have heretofore been inaccessi.
ble The total Saturday night OF the
known dead was seventy-flve. This
number was brought up to a certainty
of seventy-nine. and a possibility Of
1902 by the reports which reached Mo-
bile during the night and early yester-
day. Four bodies not before counted
have been found at Codan, and it Is es.
timated that twenty-three lives have
been lost from the oyster fleet around
Cedar Point This last estimate is
not known to be correct, and is proba
bly, somewhat exaggerated.
Death Roll About 125.
It is known that some of the boats
on which these men were have been
driven ashore, and it is entirely possj-
BILE that some OF the crews managed
to escape. 1t does not seem likely that
the death roll will amount in this VI.
cinity to more than 125.
The property loss at Mobile Will
probably approximate $8,000,00O.
Lumber Loss $1o,ooo,oo0.
It is now believed that the loss to
the lumber interests alone will aggre-
BILE for any person who has not been
through the stormswept district to
comprehend the extent to which the
country has been swept of pine lum-
Der. Tens of thousands of trees of the
finest quality have been blown down.
1t is possible that some of this may
be saved, but much of it is lost be-
yond recovery.
Hundreds of Miles Under Water.
New Orleans, Oct. 2.-Reports that
probably dozen lives were lost and
that hundreds of square miles of land
were under eighteen inches to four
feet ot water during the hurricane on
the Mississippi river delta were
brought mere yesterday. The inun-
dated tract begins fifty to seventy
miles below New Orleans and is most
ly inhabited by fishermen and oyster
men.
Reports yesterday from the Missis-
sippi sound islands, which were inun-
dated, say that the loss to the United
States marine hospital quarantine sta
ton on Ship Island is about 100000.
OF the eight sailing vessels wrecked
on the island it is reported that half
of them can probably be repaired and
f1Oated.

Fear Of Repetition of Hurricane keepo
People in State Of Panic.
Mobile, Ala, Oct 3.-Haunted by
the recollections of the great storm
which has just passed, sustaining fur
ther injury and increased financial
loss from heavy rainfall yesterday,
and fearful of what to-day may bring,
the residents of the city of Mobile had
most uncomfortable twelve hours
and retired for the night, filled with
forebodings.
Many residents were at times in
state of semi-panic over the dispatches
from Washington, which directed that
storm warnings be displayed along the
Florida coast.
Cup Of Misery Runs Over.
There was slight grain of comfort
in the earlier messages, as they did
not mention Mobile among the places
likely to be visited by the storm now
coming up through the Gulf of Mexico.
Late in the day, however, the name of
Mobile was added to the list of places
in the path of possible tornado, and
Mobiles cup, which had been full OF
misery all day, commenced to run over.
Rain Duplicates Storm Loss.
The business houses of the city yes
terday sustained almost as much finan-
cial loss from heavy rain storm
which set in shortly after midnight
and lasted about twelve hours, as from
the recent disaster. There is scarcely
building in the business section Of
the city which has a roof capable of
keeping out the rain. Many of them
storm of yesterday, in which four
inches of rain fell, the water poured
down through elevator shafts, leaking
roofs and unprotected upper floors,
running much merchandise. One of
the leading merchants declared unless
the rain soon stopped he would be ut
. terly ruined and would be compelled
to go out of business. Others were in
a condition almost as desperate.
CheerfuIness Follows Gloom.
Pensacola, Fla, Oct "a feeling Of
cheerfulness, after days of gloom, pre-
vailed in stricken Pensacola yesterday,
and the citizens faced the situation
with vim. 1t is known thatthe destroy

A Bit Of Medical Advice That Mothers
Should Heed.
You may ask, why has the baby
pain IL it is healthy and needs no med
icineY 1t Is sick and In pain because
it has not been nursed properly and
carefully. The mother has been indis-
Greet in her diet, or, If bottle fed, the
bottle may not have been cared for
the milk may have been stale,
or 1t has not been properly prepared.
The baby gets angry and cries because
some one has fondled 1t, made love to
1t and now Is not here to take it and
caress 1t as desired. 1t is hungry and
cries because it has not been nursed
at the proper interval or either the
quantity or the nutritive value of the
milk is deficient. These are points
worthy Of study in infants that cry
much. Prescribe little medicine, but
teach the mother few hygienic laws
in reference to the care of the child,
and do not allow her to give soothing
sirups of any sort, as they contain, as
rule, either bryonia or an opiate.
The harm done to infants by the use Of
improper medication In the form of
soothing sirups Is great indeed.-Med-

Women's EmpIoyments.

There was time when 1t was not
considered respectable for a cultured
man to choose anything but one Of the
learned professions. When these fail
ed to support him he turned his abili-
ty toward the mechanical, industrial
and commercial occupations and made
professions Of them. There is no rea-
son why women should not organize
and promote those employments from
which the cry for help comes inces-
sanity. Housekeeping, cooking, dress
making. costume designing and the
care Of children are down In the
depths for want Of cultured intelligent
organization. Because they have been
considered mental does not make II
necessary for them to remain SO. Ev-

eRYlAN's STRENGTH WITH
THE PEOPLE.
New Orleans States.

At the present time the Republican
newspapers are finding much comfort
In what they are pleased to regard as
Mr.. Bryan's audacity and reckless
candor, all Of which they are rolling
as a sweet morsel under their tongues.
For example the Washington Star as.
serts that Mr.. Bryan was told twenty
four hours before his Madison Square
Garden speech that he would split
his party and ALLEVIATE strong inter-
ests favorable to his candidacy, II he
advocated government ownership OF
railroads. But in jubilant tone the
Star adds that Bryan persisted in his
course with the declaration that he
did not have to call a mass meeting
of the Democracy to formulate his
own convictions.
This and other stories the Republi-
can papers are harping on with great
assiduity, but 1t Is this audacious can.
dor that has attracted to Mr.. BRYAN
his immense following, and made him
powerful factor in our national pol-
tiles. The truth is the people admire
his audacity and candor, because they
are tired Of the political trimmers and
hair-splitters they have so long sup
ported with the result that their faith
in the sincerity and unselfishness of
public men is about destroyed. They
see men of great intellect and ability
but distrust them because Of their con.
nections with the fact that nearly all
of them bear the faint of privilege. :"
Hence they turn to the leadership of
Bryan because they know and feel
that he is honest, sincere and true and
will stand for what he believes is
right regardless of the consequences
to himself. It Is with much truth that
the Charleston News and Courier
says: This man Bryan stands con-
spicuous and gaunt in his enmity to
the influences which have plated
American sentiment with the cynicism
of unbelief in civic virtue. Incrusting
disbelief is not healthy or a natural
growth. The man with q cataract over
his eyes joyfully acclaims the one
moving human being whom he can
plainly see amid the myriads Of dimly
doubtful figures whose forms harass
him with uneasiness and suspicion.
such Is the secret of Mr.. Bryan's
marvellous popularity. We deprecate
his wanderings in the region of Social
ism. We deplore his indulgence in
destructive contradictions of Jeffer.
sons Democracy. We disapproye of
his undignified interference in the
factional quarrels in particular States.
but we confess to pleasure that we
cannot conceal that he dares an oc-
casional attraction OF the rules OF the
game"
It is safe to say that while the De-
mocracy does not agree with all OF
Mr.. Bryan's views it Is in accord with
a suffiicneit number OF them, and the
most important, to frame a platform
which will command the unequivocal
Endorsement of the Nehraskan. and
