PHILIPPINE STORM DAMAGE.
More Than 300 Dead in the cagayan
 Valley.

Manila, Oct. 23.-Belated reports in. dicate that the storm of October 12 in the Cagayan valley was the worst and most destructive within the memory of living inhabitants of the valley. The official figures are not yet avail able as many places have not been heard from, but it seems certain that the number of dead will reach 300.
 There was a heavy typhoon and tor. rental rains throughout the valley and in the mountains.
 The rivers were flooded and in many places rose to height of 30 feet, sweeping everything before them in their path to the sea. Hundreds of animals and houses were swept away by the waters.
 At Aparri, which was almost com pletely under water, the American residents headed by Lieuts. Treadway and Clark, Postmaster Floss and En' gineer Clark, formed rescue brigade which rescued scores of natives, tax ing many off of their houses while floating down the river.
 The government has dispatched a coast guard cutter to investigate con dittons and organize relief.
 It is reported that cholera has broken out among the refugees.

 Wounded by Brother.

 The charge passed through R,dgeway's intestines and there IS little hope for his recovery.

 Ridgeway shot Ed Bagley while the former was acting marshal of the town and while he was att tempting to arrest Bagley. Ridgeway was acquitted on the plea of self-defense. Ever since then, it is said, feud has existed between the Ridgeway and Bag ley families.

ARKANSAS ON RAMPAGE
Heavy Rains in Oklahoma Send Foam ing Torrent Down Through
 Dry District.

Little Rock, Oct. 26.-Again the old Arkansas is on the ram- page here and today it IS n, arly to the flood stage, the sandbars being hidden everywhere yester- day morning and the river has been rising rapidly ever since. The rise is very rapid and it is expected the flood stage will be reached. but no damage is antici- pated. At the state farm a gang of men is already strength- eniug the levee, but 1t is thought the levee is in little danger. The river is exceptionally full of drift. The rise comes from Okla homa, where the rains were exceptional ly heavy last week, as there has been little rain in the portion of Arkansas drained by this stream. The water is very muddy and is covered with a heavy foam, which gives 1t the appearance of sand bars floating along. l is thought the river will reach the crest of the flood some tiue tonight.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi- nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Con- sumption is not caused by cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment It is the same with all infectious diseases. Diptheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be con tracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in a cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy.

Dashes Into String of Cars at Maga-
 zine and Comes to Standstill

Magazine, Oct. 24.-A run away engine from Boonviile last night ploughed into switch here that had been opened specially for that occasion, headed into six loaded cars. ran them over and locked switch and finally came to standstill on a grade about half a mile east of Maga- zine. All this was done with out the destruction of any prop ertv or injury to any person.
 When the engineer headed wild" out of Boonville the operator was notified here and the switch was opened on the house track, 1t being supposed the runaway would stop when it hit the cars on the track. The engine, however, failed to follow the program arranged for It had headed out on the main line with the cars after striking them.
 No one here is able here to ex- plain how the engine and six cars passed over locked switch without causing a wreck.

STILL WANTS TO HANG
Elijah Skaggs Would Be Buried on Statehouse Ground-A Religious
 Fanatic.

Little Rock, Oct. 25.-Peoplc of Little Rock who have talked with Elijah Skaggs are almost unanimous in the opinion that he is crazy-not insane-on the snb- ject of religion. Skaggs is now going the rounds ot Little Rock lawyers, eudeavoring to get one to take his case and guarantee his being hanged. He has found none yet who would even consider the proposition of getting a re- duction of his 21-year sentence for the alleged criminal assault upon Mrs. Taylor, one of his dis ciples at Fort Smith. Skaggs called on Judge F. M. Fulk yes terday and was met with a cool reception. He wanted the law yer to get him hanged and buried in the statehouse ground, that he might arise the third day and go to his master. Judge Fulk refus. ed to have anything to do with the alleged prophet. He iutimat- ed, though, that if the job of hanging and burviug were im- posed upon him, there would be no rising even at the end of 30 days. Unless the supreme court grants rehearing on the confes- sion of error by Attorney General Kirby Monday and reverses itself to order a new trial for the pro- phet, he will be forced to the penitentiary next week to begin his service there.

A Mystery.

The great big show has come and gone and it has revealed a mystery, Where in the world did so many people come from9 and what can they all be doing? I have been advertising for the past six months in every honest style 1 knew. 1 have thrown out baits, rich enough ln my judg- meut, to catch the most brilliant minds. I have constructed lad der that reaches from poverty to fortune and made it so simple that the weakest almost can as- cend. I have opened my doors wide and held back none, yet there are hundreds aud thou sands right around Mena who have so far refused my invita- ton. I do not understand it.. Were to attach a circus to my institution they would all doubt less come in, but that can not do. The nature of a business school is so widely different ot that of a show that union would create everlasting conflict. If the people of this country un- derstood fully the result of a busiHess education l would ad- vertise no longer for every one would devise some plan to make connection with a commercia al school.
 I do not want all the people who attended the show last Thursday to connect with the NJ. B. c. at once. If l could reach only a few at time l could soon show an important difference between the result of circus and shat of business school. The difference IS great, exceedingly great. One creates a smile that will last for about forty minutes, the other creates smile that will be perpetuated through life aud make all rough places smooth. l am not con

EXIT CONVICT LEASES
Last Contract Expires January 1. and Will Not be Renewed Contract
 Was for 300 Convicts.

Little Rock, Oct. 24.-W w. Dickinson, well known as con tractor and who for years has worked large number of state convicts under lease from the state, has announced that he will not apply for a removal of his convict lease contracts when the present lease expires, which will be the first of next year. Mir. Dickinson now IS working some 300 convicts, this being the number allowable under his present contract. He is the only contractor who has con tract with the state on this prop ositiou, the Reeves contract having expired few months ago. This seems to indicate that no efforts will be made to continue the lease system after the first of 1909.

One hog died before got the Eminent, but 1 have not lost any since :"
