Details are slow, as many wires
are down.
The death list from the days tor
pado will reach twenty and the in
jured number fifty, in Louisiana
alone, according to reports late to-
night.
A remarkable report comes from
the state insane asylum at Jackson,
La. where nearly all the patients
were left without shelter, twenty of
them seriously injured. Several cases
of chronic hysteria are reported to
have been shocked into what their
physicians declare may prove per-
manent recovery.
Authentic reports from Bayou Sara
place the number of dead in that
vicinity at one white woman, Mrs.
Charles Collins, and three negroes.
Devastation i'm Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala, April s.
Specials from various parts of Ala
bama tell of death and destruction
from the cyclone which swept
through the southern and western
portions of the state today.
At Bradleyton, the home of Hugh
Farrier, a prominent planter, was
blown down, instantly killing Mr.
Farrier and his six-year-Old son and
injuring Mrs. Farrier.
The storm tore up the tracks OF the
Atlantic Coast Line from Petrey to
Patsburg, a distance of several miles.
Probably loss of life is reported
from North Perrico, where on the
plantation of j. c. Moore, banker
of Marion, a row of houses was blown
down. During a storm this after
noon lightning struck the Jail at Sci
ma, knocked down a part of the wall
of the prison and terrifying the pri-
soners.
A special from Pensacola, Fla,
SAYS the wind has attained a velocity
of forty-three miles an hour.

Hartman Rockefeller Hearst.

President Roosevelt has startled
the country witt positive asser ton,
if he is correctly reported by the
press, that Hartman, Rockefeller
and Hearst are plotting to control
both national conventions in 1908
Whether or not there is any arrange
ment definite enough to be called a
plot may be doubted; but that "A
community Of cross interests, polite
al and financial is leading on TO the
result that Mr. Roosevelt is reported
30 have Indicated as the subject Of
n plot, Is an Inference that lies well
within the probabilities The plu-
tocratic interests of the country are
genuinely opposed to Ro seyelt.
All that their influence can do will
lie done TO foist upon the Repuhli-
can convention a candidate of their
own kidney Ii is equally true that
they are genuinely opposed TO Hearst.
But their opposition TO Hearst would
be quite cons stent with their enter
ing into plans to secure the Demo
cratic nomination for him They
would regard his nomination as
guaranteeing the election Of their
own Republican candidate.
Should the democrats nominate
Bryan, the plutocrats would not hope
20 elect Republican candidate o.
their own choice They realize hat
a Fairbanks or Foraker would go
down before Bryan like green clover

fore Hearst The New York cloct-
i)n at hich Hearst ran behind %
ticket of his own choosing To- the exc

that he is vulnerable candidate
II is therefore as important to the
plutocrats That they prevent the
nomination of Bryan and BRING

HIT RICHARD GALATAS IS RAPIDLY

He Was Shot Tuesday Nteht By F. m' Barr--Officer Searcy is Re-
 leused on Bond.

Reports of the condition of Richard calatas. who was shot and painfully wounded on Tuesday night by shos from the revolver of F. M. Barr on Commerce street, are of the best. MT Galatas is resting easily and the wouno has not as yet developed any serious complications, but it will leave scar
 MT. Galatas was walking down com merce street at the time of the shoot ing Tuesday night and was one or the innocent spectators to the tragedy which followed. when Police Officers Paul and Searcy attempted to arrest Barr in his drunken delirium.
 One of the shots fired from Barr E revolver hit MT. Galatas on the point of his chin and glanced off inflicting Q nainful flesh wound on the neck
 lr, Galatas was hurried to near-py drug strore and his wound dressed. Later he was driven to his home.
 Physicians state that while the wound in itself Is by no means serious there is no avoiding scar to mark K the progress of the bullet. 1t Is stated that Mir. Galatas will again De apIe to attend his business duties in a few days.
 Patroiman J. c. Searcy, who shot and killed Barr, in the point blank duel on Commerce street appeared before Justice M H. Screws yesterday ana was released on bond of $1,ooo. MT.

Montgomery Ls NoD
 ln Full Holiday Attire

Not until the last day or two has Montgomery taken on its real Christ mas appearance but those who have been on the streets have noted quite a change In the general picture of the city painted in its holiday attire. Dis play windows have been unveiled at . marvellous rate since the first of the week and yesterday and last night Dexter Avenue looked a genuine met ropoiitan shopping district. Merchants did not spare electric lights and the city looked bright from one end to the other.
 While 1t was not expected that bus mess would open up as early as Is usually the case this year the mer- chants are well satisfied with the trade. The chilly weather of the past few days has stimulated business wonder fully and each and every cold breeze seems to be noticed by some merchant who is praying for cold weather.
 This is the season when 1t seems that everyone Is undecided as to what they will buy for their friends and the fact Is evidenced by the number of people on the streets at night. The beauti- fully decorated show windows are scrutinized by hundreds of anxious people. Many of them look into the windows for their. beauty alone but the most of them are trying to get some idea of what will be the proper thing for a friend or relative. The windows and stocks of the Montgomery mer- chants this year will interest even the most skepticai as some of the finest Christmas stocks in the South are here at the disposal of Montgomerians
 Although the present financial con- dftions are not alarming 1t was ex- pected that it would have its effect on

DISTRICT PYTHIANIsM.
Chairman Dow Sends Out Letter To
 Subordinate Lodges.

Chairman Dow Sends Out Letter To Subordinate Lodges. Chairman W. F. Dow. of the Eighth Pythian District has issued a letter to the subordinate lodges of the Knights of Pythias urging renewed in- terest in Pythian matters. His dis trict includes Montgomery and sur rounding counties.
 The letter deals especially with the District organizations of Pythianism. The District system inaugurated a few years ago has proved most successful. The recent rapid growth of Pythianism is attributed largely to the new sys- tenn.
 The letter of chairman Dow fol- lows: "Eighth Pythian District, Knights of Pythias.
 W. E. Dow. District Committeeman. Montgomery. Ala. Dec. il. 1907. ''To the Officers and Members of the
 Eighth District. Knights of "Brothers--As the time for the elec- tion of officers for the next semi-an- nual term draws nigh. I desire to call your attention to sections 14 and 14 l-2 of the bylaws of said district, which read as follows:
 Section 14-"It shall be the duty of each lodge at the regular semi annual
 
 district convention. said delegates to hold office for six months. If any of said delegates so elected, for any cause, cannot attend the semi-annual convention. it shall be his duty to so inform the Chancellor Commander of his lodge, who thereupon may appoint for him a substitute
 Section 14 1-2-It shall be the duty of the Keeper of Records and Seal of each lodge immediately upon the cleo ton of said delegates, or the appoint ment of substitutes, to certify the same to the secretary of the association. "I trust each lodge will elect five delegates to the next convention. which will be held with Chevalier Lodge, No. 10, of Fort Deposit, the second week in March, the exact date to be named later I also urge each keeper of records and seal to send a list of said delegates to Brother P. A. Traves, Montgomery. secretary of the associa- tion.
 "The conventions are pleasant and instructive and every lodge should by all u1sans be represented.
 %WIth sincere best wishes for a hap1 py. prosperous New Year. and urging every lodge to do its part in making this tho banner district of this great domain. I am. fvatnrrally yours.

Christmas trading and this is the req son that merchants did not expect the general shopping to begin as early as usual. This may have some effect on the trade even just before Christmas. Naturally every merchant bought his Christmas stock before the money strfngency became apparent and have as much on hands as they would have if conditions were more fiattering. Un- der these circumstances a majority of them have deemed it best to price their stocks a little lower perhaps than they intended selling them at first. This may not be noticeable to the person buying one or two articles but 1t is a foregone conclusion that Christmas presents this year will cost less than they did last.
 Should the prices that now prevail on turkeys be kept until Christmas time every one can get bird at req sonablc rates. Immediately after Thank sgiving the price on them went down and those prices are still in ef- feet. The supply this year has been large and naturally the prices are somewhat lower for this reason. The things that so with the turkey, for a Christmas dinner will come high though. During the past year fancy groceries have taken a jump in prices that has hardly equaled fin any other year. In many instances local grocers report that prices have advanced 25 per cent. Oranges are plentiful this year and the quality Is very good. Tho prices are about the same as usual. California packers of other fruits that are in demand at this time of the year are ready to fill most orders but their rates havo advanced during the year. Tn all Christmas dinner this year will cost more than 1t did last.

CHANGE OF ROUTES
MAIL CIRCUITS WILL BE RE-DIs-
 TRICTED.
Addition of New Carrier to Bring About
 Changes in Present Service.

AuuhUOm uh NEW SMEIhGE tO nFknB AWUut
 Changes in Present Service.
 So many new streets have been opened in the past few months and Montgomery has grown so rapidly that It has been necessary for the local postal authorities to again re-dictrict the town and cut down the territory covered by each mail carrier. As was sated In The Advertiser q few days ago. another carrier will be put on December 16, and preparatory to his starting work every carriers district In the city is being changed.
 In some of the routes there will be radical changes owing to certain dis tricts having been built up in the past few months more than others and after December 16. great deal of the popu- lation of the city will have to become accustomed to new mail carrier. Heretofore there have been twenty routes but soon there will be twenty one which will take from each of the old carriers some of their territory The malls have been so heavy and the routes so large that 1t has been impos- sible for some of the routes to be covered twice a day under the new eight hour law.
 A carrier can only work eight hours day and If he cannot get over his entire route twice a day in that time the mall Is left over until the follow ing day This has caused many people in the resident districts to receive their mall a day late. A carrier will take his regular mail out In the afternoon and after he has nearly completed the circuit finds that he cannot get back to the office within his eight hour day if he finishes he returns anyhow leav- ing much of the mail in his sack. The next morning this Is delivered first.
 Under the eight hour law regulating mail-carriers man Is not allowed to work one minute over eight hours without a good excuse. The men are checked up with the register clock in the office and if one works eight hours and three minutes in a day mention Is made of it in report sent to Wash ington every month. If the explana- tion of the overtime is satisfactory he receives pay for it but the length of his route or the amount of mail handled is not satisfaction excuse He was must be unavoidably detained such as held by a freight train at a crossing or something of that sort Both the carrier and the office keeps a record of every minute put in and they must correspond exactly.
 Owing to these conditions the car riers in Montgomery have frequently brought back mall from their routes which they did not have time to de- liver and on some routes it has hap pened often. With the rearranging of the routes and taking some of the work from the heavy ones 1t is expected that great deal better service will be given. Just at his season of the year when the mails are so heavy this change will be welcomed by everybody.
