pital staff. but recently a cabdriyer,
is believed to be dying at the city

Montgomery injuries, He was
found unconscious in the rear of the
Loundermilk stables, 484 Main
street, about midnight Tuesday

on the mans head it is evident he
was struck with some blunt instru-

presented to us asking that a ward
school be built in that addition that
addition that would accommodate
pupils up 10 the fourth grade. As we
knew the dangers these children
We're subjected to in reaching our
school building. we decided to sub
nit the matter to the voters. We es-
innate that a lot and building for
the above purpose will cost $4,000,
and the proposition is for that
amount of bonds for that specific
purpose.
WATER BONDS-The other prop
osition is for an issue of SIT, 100000
for our waterworks system. This
system belongs to the city and its
efficiency is what its citizens may
make it. Improvements, we think,
are now necessary and we call your
Iattcution 10 the following:
DEBT-Since the hot well was
brought in the waterworks account
mas shown a deficiency of between
$6,000.00 and 100000. In other
words, in completing the hot well
this amount of debt was left over
and it has existed ever since, 1t
greatly hinders US in managing the
| citys finances and should be paid.
NEW BOILER One OF the boilers
at the pump station has been in use
| for a number of years and is worn
| out and must be replaced by a lar
ger one; and We need other improve
ments, such as covering small reser-
voir, onlarging and re1airing the
building, erecting new smoke stack,
etc.
EXTENDING WATER MAINS-It
is inconvenient and unfair to call
upon the citizens to extend water
mains and take water rents therefor
/ We would like to correct this prac'
tice, and in the future to complete
circuits when mains are laid as fal
as possible, and avoid partially stag
nant water that the consumer gets
who is on dead end, and If these
issues carry we will extend the
mains as follows, completing cir
cults: On Williams street from Mar
vim to North College and down Norti
iCollege to connect with the main OF
Brown an extension OF the mali
in Bullard Heights; from Marvin
street up University Avenue to Uni
versity building, on Rogers from Me
MILAN to Marvin; connect line o
Hawkins with line of West Jeffer
son, approximately 10000 feet
These extensions will give water an(
fire protection where it is mucl
needed, especially on Williams, Nortl
College, in Bullard Heights and il
University addition. The citizen
along these mains are taxpayers AM
we would like to give them the ben
efits of our water system.

Effects Of Storm on Louisiana
Coast Far Worse Than
First Reported.
LOSS IS GREAT.
Nineteen Persons Known to Have
Perished in Terrebonne Parish.
Railroad Bridges Demolished
and Houses Blown Down.

New Orleans, Sept. 23.--Graduaily
New Orleans and the territory sur
rounding the Crescent city is recov-
ering from the first effects of the
shock and results of the tropical
hurricane which, starting Sunday,
continued throughout Monday and
Monday night Thirty-eight human
lives are now positively known to
have been claimed as victims of the
storm. and fifty others are reported
to have been drowned or perished
under the debris in lower Terre-
bonne parish, but as yet this report
has not been authenticated
The property loss is even far
heavier than was first believed and
instead of running into the hun
dreds of thousands, it will run up
into the millions by the time the
final details of havoc and destruc-
ton left III the wake of the hurri-
cane are tailed.
Miles and miles of territory have
been laid waste by the storm demon.
Crops have practically been ruined.
Dwellings, cotton gins and sugar
mills have been Ieyeled to the earth,
but already with the progressive
spirit of the south, the people have
expressed the determination to re-
pair as far as possible the damage
wrought, and will in the end profit
by the experience, narrowing and
terrible as it was.
New Orleans is still sadly Grip
pied in the way of railroad facilities
and telegraph and telephone com
munication with the outside world.
1t is the territory surrounding New
Orleans, especially lower Terrebon-
ne parish, which now commands the
attention of relief parties, scores Of
which left here Tuesday and We'd
nesday. and from where the least
| bit of news is seized upon by the
anxious people who have friends or
relatives in the storm visited area.
The death list in the lower por-
ton of Terrebonne parish increased
! as details of the hurricanes destruc-
| ton were hourly received until last
night it numbered nineteen. 1t Is
lreported that at least fifty others
are missing.
Storehouses, sugar mills and
dwellings of every character at Hou-
ma and in other villages suffered
heavily and scarcely structure
was left whole or untouched by the
hurricane.

The damage done by the storm
at Grand Island, and Cheniere Cam
inada was very heavy, but at these
places there was no loss of life. The
crops on these Islands were totally
destroyed as the water swept across
them two or three feet deep, wash
ing them away and the orange groves
were whipped clean of fruit and
foliage alike, hundreds of them be-
ing uprooted or broken short off to
the ground.

WASHINGTON AND WRIGHT
BROTHERS.

The Wright brothers, who a few
years ago were rather interesting. but
also rather pitiable cranks, viii be in
Washington this week to show the Ma
tional Capital once more the. feats
which have earned the admiration of
the world. They will be accorded a
splendid reception and the tribute of
an admiration which is none the less
genuine, because it proves anew how
much Americans are given to adopting
their fashions from Paris.
1t is a great triumph which these
two persistent, earnest young men have
achieved. They have been as sane and
as seif-cOntained in their success as they
were in their experiments. There is
nothing to indicate that they are likely
TO be spoiled by the honors and dis
tinctions which have been showered
upon them. They recognize that the
new science which they have made
practical is yet IN its infancy and that
they have a great work before them.
But they have settled for all time the
proposition that mechanical flight in a
hes vier-than- machine is possible.
practical, and reasonably safe.
Americans pride themselves on their
inventive skill, and rightly. But not
50 much can always be said of their
community appreciation for this same
skill The United States had the first
chance at the Wright invention, and
allowed it to go to France TO find a
market; to the country which de
veloped the horseless carriage, and
which by reason Of an accurate per
ceptlon of the value of that invention
developed national industry of ire
mendous proportions. It has been said
that frances prosperity was saved TO
her, in a critical time. by the develop
ment Of the automobile and the ex-
panzion of French industry which lead
ership IN this new manufacture made
possible. France was wise enough to
see a good thing in the horseIess car
rage, and it has been clever enough
TO recognize the possibilities Of the fly
ing machine. Because the Wrights have
won honors elsewhere, they return, the
prophets who may be honored even at
home.
