TOWNS INUNDATED.

Many Places Along the Mississippi
Cut OFF From New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS LA, Sept. 81
Passengers arriving here over the
Illinois Central tonight said that
while the train was stopping at Ma.
con, Miss. a hotel collapsed in the
wind storm there. killing two per.
sons. They said that heavy wind was
encountered at Macon.
All efforts to penetrate even the
edge of the food caused by the hur-
ricane on the Gulf of Mexico coast
to the east and south Of here have
been fruitless tonight up to period
OF almost twenty-four hours after the
receipt OF the last message from the
exposed towns.
Many Towns Cut OFF.
Apprehension was increased nv the
TACT that the places beginning at
Lake Catherine. the farthest point
east reached thus far, are much more
exposed to the winds and water than
the larger gulf cities, which have
harbors.
From Lake Catherine eastward the
exposed towns are:
Bay st. Louis, Pass Christian, Mis-.
slssippi City, Biloxi, Ocean Springs,
Pascagolula and Scranton.
These places face Mississippi
sound, across which the wind has a
long sweep. Some of them extend
up to the very brink of the sound
and in places are protected by banks
not more than six to ten feet above
the normal sea level. Many of these
banks are, moreover of soft earth.
Newspaper Men Missing.
STAFF correspondents Of the local
newspapers who yesterday afternoon
left here and distributed themselves
along the sound in anticipation of
the storm, have not been heard from.
Not only is all rail. telegraphic and
telephone communication cut Off with
the Mississippi sound towns. but
there are no immediate prospects of
news by boat. No craft has come ND
the Mississippi river after dark.
Wireless Station Abandoned.
The wireless station at the mouth
of the river was abandoned early in
the storm, the last report being that
there was about eight feet of water
over the floor of the operators room
Despite anxiety here tonight, how.
ever, there is general belief that
few;tif any, lives have been lost. This

CONVICT SUES BRADY

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 90 Charles
Spaulding, former treasurer of the
University of Illinois, and former
president of the Globe Savings bank,
Chicago, who recently completed a
term of seven years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary at Joliet for embez-
element of funds entrusted to him,
began suit in the federal court here
yesterday against James H. Brady,
chairman of the republican state CEN
trail committee, and others to recover
valuable interests in the Idaho Canal
company and the Pocatello Power d
irrigation company. Spaulding al
eges that while confined in the Illi-
nois penitentiary he was defrauded of
us interest in these properties.
paulding charges that through con-
ivance with the trustees handling
is property the Idaho men gained
ontrol of his interest in the two
roperties, worth $3.50, 900, for $780,
200. Spaulding alleges that the
property involved is now paying divi-
bends on more than $1,000, 900.

SHOULD ASSERT ITSELF

Evidences are gathering in force
to show that the people OF Idaho
intend TO make a square issue with
the Mormon church to see which are
to control in that state-American
citizens or the polygamous apostles.
The contest does not arise too
soon. While this self-respecting cit
izenship of Idaho has been gathering
force to make this f1ght, the hierarchy
have been invading the state with
crime, with grating, and with politi-
cal corruption. polygamists have
been protected in their offenses; they
have taken new wives since the mani
festo; they have continued to live
and beget children in the polyagmous
relation. The church has caused APP
preparations of money to be made
from the public treasury to sustain
its commercial enterprise. Wherever
the hierarchy have had the power
they have degraded the public offices
and the politics to such state of
corruption that, for some of her To-
calities at least, Idaho stands ar
raigned before the nation.
The last assertion Is a strong one,
and yet one single instance will
prove that 1t is moderate express
sion: William Bulge, who testified
in Washington that he was the chief
Mormon of Idaho, and was living
with three wives, procured the cleo
tion of his own son as judge of the
district in which William Bulge re-
sides. Another son was district at
torney. Under the protection of the
court and its offices, William Bulge
continued to defy the law. Tell that
case anywhere else in the United

Plot Is to Assassinate President
Palma

Havana, Aug. 20. Half dozen
highly prominent leaders of the lib
eral barty have been taken into GUS
tody on the charge of conspiracy

The events of Sunday have shown
hat the government is fully aroused
- the necessity of putting down not
enly the open outlawery in western
uba, but also Of capturing and con-
hing the alleged leaders of this
Movement, who were strongly sus-
ected of plotting the assassination of
he president and overthorwing the
present government by force. To
that end the six members Of the lib
eral party were arrested. The men
arrested here are General Caros Grac-
cia Velez and his brother Fauste, ex-
Cuban consul at Bremen; ex-senator

sentatives, and General Enriqude

ance Of the season. A large number
of these were Spokane parties who
took great delight in roofing and
making small bets on the batter, and
much money changed hands.
The work OF Tracy, pitcher for the
s. A. A. G. was good, inasmuch as
the locals failed to find the hits, but
Plummer did the better work Of the
two. Tracy allowed three men baaaa
ON balls, and has but two strikeouts
to bis credit, while Plummer has sev-
en- stirkeouts and did not allow any
bases on balls. During the eighth
inning when the visitors were doing
some heavy hitting, Captain Middle
ton took Plummer out Of the box and
did the twirling himself, much to the
disgust Of the fans, for the PaIousar
was working steady, his curves and
balls were breaking even, and while
his work was not exceptional, he was
playing good ball. In the ninth inn-
ing, Middleton allowed on man base
ON ball, and struck ont out. The
locals have total Of ten errors for
the game, which ID something unusu-
al for them, especially for the intleld
who have done good playing this sea-
son.

States and see how quickly public
indignation would overthrow the
criminal and corrupt judiciaryl IL
there anywhere else In this nation
where public conscience Is SO dead
and public sentimentality 80 degraded
that American citizens will not con-
slider that Idaho must wash her skirts
of this iniquity or stand In her shame
before the world?
The method which is now proposed
Is TO make effective the constitution
OF the state OF Idaho which prohibits
any polygamist, or adherent at d
church which teaches or practices POI
lygamy, from voting or holding Office.
The Deseret News says that will dis
franchise all Mormons; and the min
or Mormon prints In Idaho accept
the Interpretation made by the chi ef
organ of the church. So be II then.
The Idaho constitution has been &C.
cepted by this nation. II Is expires.
sive of the highest sentimentalIties Of
the country. II the enforcement Of
its provisions will reduce all Nor
mons in the state to their old vassa-
lage, the Momon church alone Is re-
sponsible.
Idaho people cannot do better than
to wage this battle now. The proud
citizenship Of that spendid state
should assert itself and right the
wrong before the hierarchy shall have
gained such additional power, by
corrupt bargaining, as to make the
war more costly and more painful TO
the loyal people of the state. See
what bitter conflict wages here, and
realize that you, citizens Of Idaho,
may redeem your state In one cam
paign. - Salt Lake Tribune.

A Well Played Game Is Lost by
Occur d'Alene

The locals were taken in by the s.
A. A. @. yesterday afternoon for the
third time, with a score Of 10 to 5.
The game was an exciting one for the
first six innings, the locals making
four scores in the first inning, to the
delight Of the fans, and not until the
fourth inning did the visitors tie this
score, when the boys went wild, al
lowing the Spohaneites to win four
without much opposition.
During the fifth and sixth innings
neither side scored, but in the seventh
the visitors brought two more tallies,
making the score six to four in their
favor. The locals came to bat with
good intentions and for while 1t APP
peared as II they would tie the score
again, but they only managaged to
make one score, leaving the visitors
in the lead by one, and in the eighth
inning they Melted three more, and In
the ninth one more, making their to-
tai ten, and the total for the locals
five.

Most Of the buildings Of the city

Most of the damage was due to fire,
which started Immediately after the

is sleeping in the hills, the parks and

Food is very scarce. Milk costs
two Chilean dollars liter, and it is
almost impossible to obtain meat,
even at high prices.
The railroads are all destroyed.
Rain, which begun to fall immedi-
