Buffalo, N. Y.-During the last twen-
ty-four hours since Saturday this city
has been swept by the most destructive
windstorm of decade. Tonight (Sat-
urday the Niagara frontier lies a
scene of wreckage and destruction in
the wake of the storm.
Two lives reported lost so far and n
property damage that will aggregate
$2,OO0.000 when the accounting Is
made, is the toll of the storm. Lake
Erie, with its level higher than has
been known for twenty years, has
gorged the Niagara river to overflow
ing, and thousands of dollars worth OF
property has been carried down the
stream.
Miles Of docks at the great lumber
market at North Towanda have been
destroyed, and millions of feet Of lum-
ber have been carried out into the
river.

Lake steamers aground tell that part
of the story. Thirteen others making
brave attempts to ride out the storm

Niagara Falls power was cut on

in partial darkness tonight. Damage
to homes and buildings is widespread.
The terrific gale blew ninety miles

For hours the gale swept the water

broken from their moorings, smashed
against bridges. doing serious damage.
No casualties have been reported.
Lake Erie rose three feet in ms many
minutes. The inner breakwater walls
have been pounded until portions OF
them have been broken away. Rail
road tracks along the wate" front are
being held down with strings of freight
cars.
Railroad service has been badly dis

WHAT IS MONEY!

Money is a medium OF exchange on
which people base business transac-4

OF money--gold, silver. copper and.
paper--but basic money, the founda-

has been recognized since the dawn
of civilization; II is gold and silver.
Any other medium, or any eurtail-
ment OF the basic values of these two
metals By legislation lessons the ae-
tual money In circulation TO the ex-
tent OF the curtailment. We hear OF
the sinsufiielency of currency at the
present time as a cause for the pan

that deficiency by clearing house
