DESTRUCTION WAS GREAT.
NIazatIan Flood the Worst Experienced
in Many Years.

FL Paso. Tex. Aug. 2T.-Details of the
floods at Naza tian, Mexico, state that the
heaviest losers are the Somellera fam
lily. whose store with it's entire stock
was destroyed. and the Cha Industrial y
AgricOla whose shoe factories, employ
ing a large number OF. people, is report
ed to be in ruins. The German casino
has been destroyed and the portion of
the jail occupied by female prisoners
collapsed. Work has been suspended at
the slaughter house owing to thescaving
in of the walls. The Cuarte de Rosales
also succumbed to the heavy rains and
the north portion of Pantheon number
one were destroyed. Dozens of houses
on the beach were swept away by the
waters which reached point never be-
fore reached since in the cape has been
built above sea level.
Great suffering has been caused by
breaking of water pipes and the com
plete destruction of the waterworks sys-
tenn.
The water supply was conducted to
the city By pipes from q river ten miles
distant. Calzada de Puento Infernille,
the broad boulevard which connects thu
city with the sea, has been destroyed
Mazatlan has for years been subject
to floods and heavy rains, but not in its
recent history has 1t suffered as at this
time. It Is a city Of 8S0o Inhabitants,

SANTA FE TO PAY MORE
Common stock May Be Placed on Six
Per Cent Basis.

Information from New York is to
the effect that the directors of the
Santa Fe at their meeting scheduled
for next month will put the common
stock on a 6 per cent basis. This is /
per cent better than was talked of
three months ago. Then il was known
that three of the most influential di-
rectOrs Of the board were in favor Of
raising the dividend from its present
rate Of 4 per cent to 5 per cent
At either a 5 or 6 per cent rate it is
assumed that the holders of the out
standing convertible per cent bonds
will avail themselves of the privilege
of exchanging them for common stock
The total authorized issue of these
converubles is $4,000. 900. There are
outstanding S49,711.O00. The bonds
may be called at 10. They are con-
vertble between June 1, 1906, and
June /, 1918. When called they may
be converted into stock, provided the
time for conversion has not expired
No new mortgage on lines owned
January I, 1905, may be made with
out securing the convertible bonds
hereunder.
1t may be predicted that if the
stock be placed on a 3 per cent basis
1t will sell about no. and afford album
dant inducement to convert the bonds
into stock. This would be equivalent
to an increase of 1 per cent on the par
value of the outstanding bonds, or 2
per cent should the rate on the com
mon be made 6. Whether the direc-
tors viii consider this feature of an
increase in disbursements Is yet to be
learned

TALKED HIS HEAD OFF.
Nicholas Noble says That's Reason
Police Think He's Crazy.

Nicholas Noble. an old colored man
and a character about town for the
past quarter of a century, was arrested
Sunday and is now locked up in the
county Jail charged with being crazy.
He claims that he is suffering from
pleurisy and that he is being kept in
the jail so that he will die and the po-
lice get rid of him.
He laughs at the idea that he Is
crazy. but admits that he has been
seeing some things that are not just
exactly right. For instance. he says:
It was sitting in my home reading and
a white boy and girl came in and the
boy tied a rope about the girls neck
and drew her up 10 the ceiling and all
the time he kept waving a razor or
knife about so that I could not keep
him from harming her.
There was nothing wrong about
that for when I called the police 70
save. the girls life. they saw her Just
as plain as could be when they came in
and While we were standing there look
ing at her she went. right up through
the ceiling and the boy was holding on
to her feet All of us saw that and
then the police brought me down here
and locked me w. and say that I am
crazy. They. saw the same thing and
none Of them are locked I'D that I
know Of That's what comes of a fool
niger taIking his head on.

TO GO BEFORE PEOPLE.
viaduct Repair Qestion as Seen by
Mayor Davis.

It am not going to let this viaduct
matter hang over until am out Of Of
hce." said Mayor W. H. Davis. this
morning. Il see that there is some talk
of this kind going around. There is
nothing in 1t. I never thought of such
a thing for minute.
Il intend to get this Sixth avenue via
duct trouble ironed out but 1t takes time
to do anything right
There is some hope of Strengthening
out the middle yet and securing the CO.
operation of the railroads in repairing
that East Sixth avenue thOroughfare.
L am not sure but what We will have
to ask the city to vote on bonds whether
we want to or not" continued Topeka s
executive The law provides that no
bridge or viaduet exceeding $1,000 in
cost may be constructed until it has
been authorized by a majority Of votes
cast at an election for that purpose. II
repavfng Kansas avenue is repaving
and not repairs why should not repairs
of the viaduct be rebuilding In that
event we would have to submit the re-
pair of the viaduct to the vote of the
people and those who are opposed to re-
building the viaduct could vote against
it. This would settle whether we would
tear the viaduct down or not"

and Fourth streets excepted; this IS
paved with cobble stone. In this stretch
of paving there Is about $4,000 square
yards.
The appointment of a paving expert to
superintend the laying Of the asphalt
and the examination of the quality OF
the asphalt for the city has not yet been
made. The choice lies between a Kan
sas City man. a chemist, and member
of Dow's Washington, D. c., staff of
paving experts who superintendent the
laying Of the asphalt at the national
capital. The latter comes highly recon-
mended from Dow, being his chief as
sistant; the Kansas City man is also
well recommended. The appointment
lies with the mayor and the chances
seem to favor the man from Washing
ton. The pay for these experts comes
from the property owners who are taxed
to meet this extra expense. The expense
amounts to about $40 a day.

MOSQUITO THEORY
Another Victory in New Iberia, La,
Yellow Fever Situation.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.-All quar-
antine against New iberia, La, where
a case of yellow fever was found eigh-
teen days ago, was raised today by or
der of the State Board Of Health. The
mosquito theory of the transmission
of the fever has scored another appar-
ent victory, the principal precaution
taken against spread of the infection
having been the burning of several
hundred pounds of sulphur. By this
method the mosquitoes in every house
in New Iberia were killed.
DR.. c. H. Irion, President of the
Louisiana State Board of Health, went
to New iberia at the first news Of the
fever, and has personally directed all
the precautionary measures taken.
