BANK INSURANCE
WINS THE. WEST
WALTER WELLMAN MAINTAINS
THAT THE BRYAN IDEA WAS
LUCKY ONE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.--ln dispatch
from New York TO the Record Herald,
Walter Wellman says:
Reports from the west are TO the
effect that guarantee OF bank deposits
is rapidly becoming one of the chief
issues Of the campaign. Down east
here they cannot understand. Last
March, after a trip through the north
west as far as Idaho, | expressed the
opinion that one of the luckiest and
strongest acts of Mr.. Bryan's political
career was in identifying his name
with the idea OF bank deposit guar
antee or insurance. Subsequent de-
velopments have proved the correct
ness OF that diagnosis. Mr.. Bryan
does not claim the idea is original
with him. No one knows who started
tt THAT must haxe-b been generations
ago. But he had the quick wit to lay
hold OF II as an asset In this cam
paign, and IL is proving one of the
most promising OF all the Issues he
has in his campaign battery.
The reports from the west are that
this idea has gained such hold upon
the masses OF the people that the Re
pubicans have been forced TO take II
up In many places, requiring that
their candidates for congress and for
the legislature commit themselves TO
the principle. The Republican state
committee OF Kansas has voted TO
make bank guarantee one OF its party
principles

conferred before noon. though there

work on the Detroit pitchers. but Jen-
nings said today that IL was some
thing that could not be avoided and
he was fortunate to have his entire
stan in good shape.

his wife with him. Cobb can't get to
the ball field too quickly. He wants
to fatten up his average.

however, and are eagerly watching

STREET. OPENING
IS POSTPONED
INTERESTED CITIZENS WRANoLE
OVER THE PROPOSAL TO
EXTEND cHARLEvoix.

More than $50 citizens, men and
women, crowded into part OF the coun-
ell chamber Thursday morning to ex-
press their views In regard to the pro-
posed opening of Charlevoix-st. from
Elmwood-ave. to the city limits.
The negatives gave vent to their
feelings SO forcibly that the PROPOSE
tien- was taken under Amusement and
will not be taken up again until late
In the fall
This opening, II Is estimated, would
cost about $4,000. of which the city
at large would pay one third. The
principal objection comes from work
ing people who live on leased land in
the Eleventh and Thirteenth ward and
who want the Improvement postpon'
ed until their leases run out, within a
year or so.
The people OF the assessment dis.
trict who live in the Fifteenth and
Seventeenth wards are anxious to
have the street opened now.
Aid. Brozo. link and Theison ar
gued that property owners whose
property wouid be improved blythe
street opening should dedicate a por
ton of the land and thus tighten the
cost. If this is not TO be dotS, the,
will fight the opening. George A
Palmer won the cheers OF the people
who want the opening by telling them
that delay would simply mean that
buildings would be erected on the
line of the street and the cost greatly
enhanced.
II looked at one time as IL decis
ion either way would provoke small
riot.
The aldermen gave none.

OF the rough looking man. who seemed
to be an Italian, increased. He was
rapidly closing up the gap between

.GUSTA, Ca, Aug. 27--A sea OF mud.
dy water, reaching the second floor OF
the business houses ana driving resi-.
dents into upper floors and In some
cases into trees, IS augusta IN fts Hood
today. The highest stage is passed
and the water is rapidly receding.
More than ~two-thirds OF the city is
covered tho submerged portion
includes all the principal business and
residence district. Only that part of
the city south and east OF the first
level OF the canal Is above water. This
canal, which Is higher than the streets,
saved It,
The property loss reaches into the
millions. All the factories along the
canal have been swept by the food,
and the machinery ruined, much of II
beyond repair.
Fire Adds Its Terrors.
Fire last night broke out in two
warehouses OF the Nixon Grocery Co.
Several lime warehouses were burned,
the fire starting from spontaneous
combustion.
The loss OF life is reported to be
heavy, but no verification can yet be
obtained. There is welldefined story
that two women In buggy were
drowned in street last night, when
the vehicle turned over. II is also
reported that a woman and two chill
dren and Negro cabman were
drowned near the Union depot. No
bodies have yet been recovered and
will not be until the food subsidies.
Cotton Mills Out Of Business.
All of the nine great cotton mills
have been put out of business. Their
thousands of employees are out OF
work. The cotton mill district, where
there are rows OF tenements occupied
by the employees was not flooded.
Thousands were homeless last
night. Most of them took refuge in
churches which were thrown open.
Many fed to the hills. Green-st., the
fashionable residence thoroughfare Of
the city, Is entirely under water.
Neither newspaper printed an edition
yesterday or this morning. Their Of
fees are submerged. There Is no
street car. telephone or electric light
service and neither Is there gas.
No trains are running into Augusta
except those of the Georgia railroad
to Atlanta. which get within i've
miles of the city. All other railroads
have been cut of.
A food shortage is threatened owing
to damage TO grocery stocks.

Banks Wouldn't Certify Checks.
Mr.. Buchanan said of the failure:
1T was caused by the sudden re-
fusal of our banks TO certify our
checks as they had always done and
by the attitude OF the New York stock
exchange. There will he but small!
gap between the liabilities and as
