HURRICANE.

New Orleans, Oct. 17.-Damaee of
fully $l,0O0,O0O, including the partial
demolition Of one town, was done
by the hurricane on the coast of Cen
trail America, which was reported by
a brief wireless message received here
Sunday night. Wireless and cable ad-
vices yesterday by the United States
Fruit company, say that probably no
loss of life occurred. The hurricane
appeared central near Bluetields, ON
the east coast Of Nicaragua. 1t swept
in FROM the sea, its first fury striking
Little and Great Corn Islands, which
were swept bare of vegetation and
their topography even altered by the
waves. On mainland the storms dam
age was confined mostly to a path
about thirty miles wide, in which
banana and rubber crops were de-
stloyed and plantations blown down.
Great demolition was reported from
Rama, a town on the coast about forty
miles from Bluefields. Port Limon,
in Costa RIGA, also suffered.
The United States Fruit company
estimates that the storm will result in
cutting down banana imports about
10000 punches week, which is a
very small amount of the regular
weekly volume.

INTERESTING CONTEST.
Heavy Cost Of Unpaid Postage.

Ono Of the most curious contests
ever before the public was conductoa
by many thousand persons under the
offer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.
Of Battle Creek, Mich, for prizes %
81 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks
to those making the most words out
Of the letters Y-1-O-Grape-Nuts.
The contest was started in Febr,A
airy, 1906. and it was arranged to have
the prizes awarded on Apr. 80, 1906.
: When the public announcement ap.
peared many persons began to form
the words from these letters, some.
times the whole family being occupied
evenings, combination Of amuse.
ment and education.
! After while the lists began to
come in to the Postum Office and be.
fore long the volume grew until it re-
CURED wagons to carry the mail.
Many of the contestants were thought
less enough to send their lists with
Insult cient postage and for q period
1t cost the Company from twenty-five
to f1fty-eight and sixty dollars day
to pay the unpaid postage.
Young ladies, generally those who
had graduated from the high school,
were employed to examine these lists
and count the correct words. Web
ster's Dictionary was the standard
and each list was very carefully cor
rected except those which fell below
5000 for it soon became clear that
nothing below that could win. Some
OF the lists required the work of .
young lady for solid week on each
individual list. The work was done
, very carefully and accurately but the
Company had no idea, at the time the
offer was made, that the people would
respond SO generally and they were
compelled to fill every available space
in the Offices with these young lady
examiners, and Notwithstanding they
worked steadily. it was impossible
to complete the examination until
Sept. 20, over six months after tho
prizes should have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many in
quiries and naturally created some
dissatisfaction. 1t has been thought
best to make this report in practically
all Of the newspapers in the United
States and many of the magazines in
order to make clear to the people the
conditions of the contest.
Many lists contained enormous
numbers Of words which, under the
rules, had to be eliminated "Pegger"
would count "Peggers" would not.
Some lists contained over $4,000
words, the great majority OF which
were cut out. The largest lists were
checked over two and In some cases
three times to insure accuracy. @
The $4,000 gold prize was won BY
L D. Reese. l227.15th St.. Denver
Colo, with 9e41 correct words. The.
highest $1,000 gold prize went to 8.

The leading candidate for the
republican nomina ton for lieu
tenant governor this year is Sena-
tor Warren H. Garst, of Carroll
county. There is now practically
no doubt of his nomination at the
Des Moines convention.
Senator Garst is today the dean
of the state senate. He is not
only longest in continuous service
in that body, but easily the most
influential member, the one whose
opinions have the most weight
with members, who is looked to
for advice and counsel on all i'm.
portant state matters by all his
associates. He came honestly to
this commanding position by
reason of his service in eight ses-
sions of the senate and his care.
full and conscientious attention to
the questions which come before
him.

Senator Garst located IN Coon
Rapids in 1874 in the mercantile
business and he has seen the busy
little town grow and develop and
with it the development OF a tine
agricultural region OF Iowa.
He was first elected to the SEN

assembly, and has been reelected
for each succeeding term to the
present. He therefore sat IN
seven regular sessions and one
extra. In the Twenty-seventh
he was made chairman OF the
committee on appropriations OF
the senate and has held the posi-

is by tar the most important IN

JONES FOR CONSTABLE.

The Negro voting population as well
as many other we'll wishers wish tc
express their appreciation of the fact
that their race of people has a can
didate for constable of Des Moines
township, in the person of l. NJ. Jones
He is eminently fitted for the office
he aspires having had several years
experience as peace officer, both
municipal and county. He is bust
ness man of strict integrity, has the
confidence and esteem of all who
know him and is tax payer of the
county he wishes to represent as con-
stable.
1t is but fair that the negro voters
and tax payers should receive some
elective recognition.
We, as voters, ask our white broth
ers to seriously consider this matter
and at the primaries to be held in
Polk county, May 1, that we as a
race receive your suffrage in return
for receiving that of the negro voters.
Turn not deaf ear to our only
reasonable demand We should have
negro constable.
