ceeding $l,0O0,000, as far as could
be ascertained at a late hour last
night is the grim record resulting
from the destructive sweep of We'd

That the hurricane which swept

of life and property damage than
that at first supposed was indicated
late yesterday when points which
had been cut off from communication
again got in touch with the outside
world. Various points report fifteen

remain to be heard from, and any
thing like full list of the dead and
injured may not be completed for
several days to come.
That the property loss will run
into the millions was made GER
taintv last night when whole towns
which were at first believed not to
have suffered were definitely report
ed to have been wrecked. Over
score of persons are now believed
to have lost their lives, and reports

much thought to the matter that he
dreamed about graveled highways
last night While peacefully slumbe. :
ing a vision came to him in which
he saw 100 wagons to which We're

tIre 1t seems probable that State wide
prohibition will be adopted at once.
Louisiana has more than $4,000
miles of "dry" territory, and six en-
tire parishes were placed in the anti
saloon license column during the past
year.
Fifty-nine out of the seventy-nine
counties of Arkansas are dry, and
$4,000 of the 1,750,7O0 of the peo-
pie in the State are living in terri
tory where the drink traffic is for
hidden. There are only 81 saloons
IL the whole State left, which must
give way to the inevitable public
verdict against the business
During the past year 800 saloons
were driven out Of Texas, and fifteen
new counties voted no-license. Of
the 243 counties $50 are "dry,"
sixty-six part "wet,' and twenty
five license the saloon. Two hundred
thousand of the 1000 square miles
of the State is "dry' territory, con-
tanning population Of 100000 peo-
pie. Statewide prohibition will be
a certainty in the near future.
In Virginia during the past year
400 liquor places were put out Of
business. Seventy-one Of the 100
counties in the State have not a IL
censed saloon.
The temperance people of West
Virginia lost in their battle before
the Senate, which recently adjourned,
losing two propositions; first, the
amendment to the Constitution, for
bidding the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating drinks, and also one for
county local option. There are 7O0,-
600 of the 100000 people of this
State who live in territory where the
saloon is forbidden. Thirty three
counties out of the ffty-fve in the
State are entirely "dry,'
In Kentucky one more county has
been added to the "dry" column,
making ninety-six out of the 119
counties in the State.
Missouri has made decided progress
during the past year. There are now
fifty "dry" counties in the State, in
Guiding their municipalities, while
twenty-seven other counties have abol-
ished the saloon under the county OPP
ton law, which exempts cities Of
$500 population and more from it's
operation.

The fires of prohibition that have

OF the State, local-option elections
were held in twenty-seven counties,
twenty Of which went "dry,' closing
al one stroke 600 saloons and ten
breweries.
After a tremendous struggle, the
Nebraska Legislature at its last SEES
sion passed the Daylight Sale bill,
permitting the sale Of liquor only be-
tween the hours of a. M. and p. IN.
The Legislature of Iowa on the eve
OF adjournment passed two bills I'M
friendly to the liquor interests, one
limiting the number of saloons to
one to one thousand of the population
in cities. the other requiring druggists
to file with the auditor of the county
signed applications for liquor.
The State of Washington has just
passed county-option law, excluding
municipalities of $500 or more,
which have a separate option of their
own.
The Legislature Of Idaho has this
year passed very strong lOcal-option
law.
Both branches of the Legislature of
Utah passed a county-option bill. but

resulting in a net increase Of thirty

the State are dry about q

and part "dry." The Committee of
Fourteen introduced a bill at Albany
providing among other things for
the opening of saloons IN cities Of the
first class certain hours on Sunday,
which was promptly killed in the
Senate Committee. Yates County, by
vote on February %, carried AL
the towns in its territory against the
saloon, and became the first and
only entirely "dry" county in the
State.
Recent elections in Connecticut have
abolished the liquor traffic from
5000 square miles of territory, closing
300 saloons during the year
Massachusetts has gained ten
municipalities for the "dry" column.

traffic seems to be worldwide. The
fight against it in Europe is nearly
as fierce as as it is in this country.
Finland abolished intoxicants by "a
vote Of its. Parliament. Iceland
adopted national prohibition in Sep
TENDER last. The Duma Of Russia
ordered the removal of the royal
eagle from the vodka bottles, and the
substitution of the skull and cross
bones, the symbols Of death, and the
word poison written in large letters
beneath them as warming to the
people. In Paris there are placards
placed on the bulletin boards saying
that whoever puts alcohol in his
mouth takes out his brains, his money,
his health, his happiness Govern
ment statistics in England show de-
crease of thirty million dollars worth

during the year 1908.
The South Swept by Prohibition"
Wave.
The temperance revolution in this
country continues with undated en-
ergy Eleven thousand saloons were
put out Of business during the year
1908. AS many more in 1907, and at
that rate of decrease it would require
but twenty years to abolish all the
saloons of the country.
About eighteen of the twenty mil
lions Of the people Of the Southern
States have already outlawed the sa-
loon. In New York City alone there
are one thousand more saloons than
in all the fourteen Southern States,
and : it looks as though within the
coming five years every State in that
section would vote the saloon out of
existence.
On May 6, 1908, North Carolina
followed her sister States Of Georgia,
Alabama, and Mississippi, in the
adoption of State prohibition, by a
popular vote.
The campaign was a notable one,
participated in by Governor Glenn,
the two United States Senators, every
member of Congress, all Of whom
stood against the saloon, securing a
majority of $4,000 votes.
The fight for prohibition in 1909
was begun by Tennessee, following
the example Of her old mother State,
North Carolina, passing bill pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicants by a
vote of "a to ID in the Senate, and
81 to SO in the House. It was vetoed
by the Governor, and passed over his
objection by the same vote ia the
Senate, and by the loss of but one
vote in the House This bill will go
into effect the first day of next July,
at which time every saloon in the
State will close its doors. A more
drastic bill to prohibit the manufac-
ture of intoxicants in the State, which
is to take effect on January l, 1910,
was carried in both branches of the
Legislature, and was passed again
over the Governor veto, and is now

900 of the population out of the q
100000 were living in "dry'' terri
tory. Governor Hanley called spe-
cial session of the Legislature in Sep
TENDER last, which passed a local-op-
tion law with the county as the unit,
under which the people are making
Indiana prohibitory State as rapidly
as they can get to the polls. Under
the old law twenty entire counties
had gone "dry." Since last autumn
forty-three more had joined their
company, making sixty-three of the
ninety-two counties in the State which
are entirely "dry," and it is under
stood that but one county of all the
forty-four recently voting has gone
"wet.'
1t is said that the local-option ques-
ton got mixed up pretty badly in
Hoosier politics; some Of the leaders
claiming that Watson and the Re-
publics State ticket were beaten on
that account. 1t is likely that the
Republican party would have been
beaten very much worse if it had un-
dertaken to dodge the issue, which
was inevitable. 1t is charged that the
liquor people beat Kearns for the
Senatorship, and that he, in revenge,
prevented the repeal of the local-op-
ton bill. But whatever hand the tenn
pcranee question played in the politics
of the State, the people, Democrats
and Republicans, went ON steadily
voting the saloon out of business in
the State, and it now seems likely
that Indiana may be the next State of
the North to adopt State prohibition.
The revolution in Ohio is just as
marked as in Indiana, and just as
enthusiastic as in any of the Southern
State. The Anti-Saloon League,
which was born in that State, removed
the saloon from large districts in the
State by one form of local option or
another, but local-option bill for the
county as the unit was passed by the
legislature, under whose provisions
voting has been going on since last
autumn, with results that have startled
the nation. The saloon had been re-
moved from five entire counties under
the previous laws, but since last Sep
tember sixty-three counties have voted
on the subject, fifty-eight of which
have abolished the saloon, and only
nine counties have licensed it, so that,
Of the lightweight entire counties of
the State, sixty-three have gone
dry and nine have gone "wet. "
Many of the contests we're notable,
especially the one in Clark County,
which contains Springfield, with
population of $4,000, polling vote
of almost $4,000 votes, which went
"dry" by 139 majority. The
Legislature this year passed two laws
strengthening the local-option law;
one preventing agents from soliciting
orders for liquor in "dry" territory,
the other providing for the appoint
ment of secret-service men in each
