bridal party, and the king ana the
queen and other members of the royal
family, who, by their attencance at the

the mother believing that it was not

HURRICANE SWEEPS ISLAND.
Storm Of Great Violence In British
West indies.

4 dispatch rom Grand Turk ISL
and, s. B.. w J., says a hurricane or
great fury swept ver Turks island
Thursday night and Friday morning.
and at daybreak Friday the town Of
Grand Turk was devastated. A num-
Der Of lives have been lost, but just
how many cannot yet be said. Great
anxiety is felt for the safety OF DR..
r. r. Robertson, district commission
or OF Caicos, who was making a tour
OF the islands when the storm broke.
The hurricane reached there at 8
o'clock Thursday night, the vino
blowing from the north-norti1east. At
4 o'clock Friday morning the wind
had reached a velocity of nearly 100
miles an hour and was blowing from
the northeast.
Much damage has been lone to
property, and the streets of Grand
Turk are a mass Of wreckage. Trees
have been uprooted, portions Of build
ings blown away and many houses
have been partially wrecked.
The Haytien sloop Telegraph,
which had taken shelter at Hawks
Nest, foundered with all hands. The
Dan Leon, belonging to the
East Caicos Fiber company, broke
away from her anchor and has not
been seen since. All the salt lighters
which were moored at the riding
grounds and Hawks Nest are missing.
The Turks and Caicos island lie be-
tween 21 degrees n % degrees
north latitude and II degrees and 72
degrees 81 minutes longitude. Their
area Is 1853 quare miles. The most
important island, Grand Turk, is six
and one-half miles long n two miles
broad. According to the census Of
1901 Grand Turk contains 1851 in
habitants. being one-third Of the pop
ulation.

NEW YORK.

Fall jobbing trade, and to a lesser ex-
tent, retail demand, has been helped this
week by the advent of cooler weather, the
opening Of the season of fall festivals and
the continuance of buyers excursions.
Hence the consensus of reports hat dis
tribution has expanded at leading north
western and southwestern markets. while
there is a farther gain shown at many
southern centers.
Enlargement of crop movements, par
ticularly in winter wheat and cotton, has
also made for a further improvement in
collections, which at many points are.
now classed as fairly normal. But the
weight of testimony is that trade is still
below the same period of last year, when
contraction was already in evidence. Con-
servatism, in fact, still governs buying
order merely for immediate or nearby
necessities pending a clearer view OF the
political outlook and the reaping of the
later autumn crops.
Industrial reports show on the Whole an
expansion in output. Iron and steel pro-
duction is from 60 to 80 per cent of full
capacity, and the settlement of the Ala
bama coal miners and the New England
papermakers' strikes has made for q larger
output.

CHICAGO.

Favorable developments become more
plentiful as a basis for continuing recov-
ery in business. Confidence is more gem
orally felt that the tide has turned for the
better in production and distribution. This
is confirmed by steadily increasing demand
for mill and factory outputs and a more
notable absorption of fall and winter mer-
chandiSe.
Considerable strength is derived from
the highly encouraging agricultural condi-
tons, prices being maintained above those
at times last year for the leading grains
and assuring a further large addition to
the purchasing power throughout the
West, Movements of the breadstuffs ex-
coed those of a year ago.
Some decline again appears in arrivals
of hogs, causing smaller packing, but
there is substantial decrease in accumu
lated stocks of provisions in store, and
also gains in receipts of hides and wool,
while lumber received is but slightly low
err.
Permits for business structures in Chi
cago during August numbered Al and ST.
567 900 in value, against ~ permits and
$4,000 in value in same month last year.
Investment is heavier in interest bearing
securities, sales of choice bonds and local
stocks being more active, and a new city
loan was successfully negotiated. Money
is yet quoted from 3h per cent to Az per
cent. Currency shipments to move crops
do not equal those at this time last year,
but are now more widely called for.
High-grade commercial paper remains
in restricted offering, although mercantile
borrowers increase. Bank deposits under
go but slight change, and there are ample
funds available against the ascertained
fall needs of the interior.
Bank clearings, 1920, 5S7, 442, exceed
those in corresponding week of 1907 by
80 per cent. Failures reported in Chi
cago district number 80, against d last
week and II a year ago. Those with
liabilities over $1,000 number 10, against
5 last week and 5 in 19O7.-Dun's Re-

VICTORY FOF THE ROADS.
Hepburn Commodities Clause Not
Constitutional.

The commodities clause of the Hup-
burn railroad act Thursday was de-
clared to b. unconstitutional by the
United States circuit court for the
eastern district of Pennsylvania.
The court holds the commodities
clause is not a regulation of commerce
within the proper meaning of the
words used in the commerce clause of
the constitution and therefore is not
within the power granted by the latter
clause.
The clause case was considered so
important Attorney General B~onaparte
came to Philadelphia and personally
made the principal argument in behalf
Of the government. Prior to h clause
going into effect the anthracite coal
carrying railroads went before the in
terstate commerce commission and de-
clared they could not comply with the
clause except at a tremendous loss and
they further declared their convic-
ton that the, clause was ~unconstitu-
tional. Thereupon h government
agreed not to enforce the clause until
a decision was a upon the law points
4 10 .
The railroads in answer to the gov
ernment's complaint gave seven chief
reasons why the clause was repugnant
to the constitution, among them being
that it was confiscatory, discriminating
and a prohibition and not regulation:
that it deprived the railroads of Glib
erty and property" and violated the
right reserved to the states.
The clause provides hat after May
1, 1908, it shall be unlawful for any
railroad company to transport from
one state to another, or to any foreign
country, any article or commodity.
manufactured. mined, or produced by
It. or under it's authority, directly or
indirectly, except such articles or COM
modities as may be necessary for it's
use in the conduct Of it's business as a
common carrier. The clause exempts
timber and It's manufactured produtcs
and is aimed particularly at railroads
owning coal mines.

HARVEST FOR NOTARIES.
Many VIII Gather at Dallas for Trip
land Opening.

When our hundred claims were
opened for filing through registration
and drawing at Pierre for the Lower
Brule county last year a swarm or
notaries were on hand ready to supply
all who wished to register and some OF
them were up to meet trains at what
ever hour they might arrive. With
over 1000 claims to pick in Trip
county the chances are that there Will
be even a greater number of notar1es
at work than there were at Pierre.
Most Of them will gather at Dallas,
the place where the drawing is to oc-
cur and which is the nearest railway
point to the new lands. Many notarles
from over the state are maxim ar
engagements for a stay at Dallas dur
ing the time Of registration and to help
along the older notaries there will be
plenty Of new ones. Within the past
week the state secretary has been
called upon to issue over a hundred
new notarial commissions, and practi-
cally all of this number has been
called for from Gregory county towns,
with the evident intention of being at
Dallas to reap a harvest.
