AMERICAN FLEET
 HOMEWARD BOUND

Gibraltar, February 6.-With the bands on board playing "Home, Sweet Home," the fleet of Is battleships under Rear Admiral Sperry left Gibraltar at Il o'clock this morning for Hampton Roads on the last lap of its famous around-theworld cruise of 42O00 miles. One hour later the vessels were well clear of the land and steaming westward in double-column formation at speed of teH knots an hour. They will follow the southern route to Hampton Roads, a distance of S6O0 miles and about 1000 miles off the Amer ican coast they will be met and escorted home by ths third squadron of the At lantic fleet under Rear Admiral Arnold.
 The weather conditions at the time of departure were glorious. The sky was without a cloud and there was just enough breeze to court the crests of the sun flooded waves Nothing could have sur passed the beauty of the marine picture as the American armada weighed anchor from the shadows of the tower rock of Gibraltar and moved out into the sea. The difficult operation of getting the Is huge batteships out of the narrow basin of the port and under way was accom- plished with a skill and perfection of maneuvering and detail which won the admiration of all the foreign naval men who witnessed the proceedings 1ritically from land and sea.
 Admiral Sperry directed the whole oper- ation from the after bridge of the Con necticut At S:30 o'clock the signal to unmoor was given and the great chains holding the ships to the buoys were loos- ened one by one until the vessels were held to their anchorage by only a single and. At S55 a stream of multi-colored signal flags on the flagship communicated the order to get under way to the Geor- gia. the Nebraska the New Jersey, the Rhode Island and the Virginia, lying at the rear of the basin. As the flags came luttering down five minutes later the designated battleships cast off their last lines and, like free leviathans seeking escape, they slowly swung their noses in the direction of the breaches in the break water.
 Twisting and turning to the changing of engine gongs they crept out, the Geor- gia leading the way with Lieutenant Com mander George w. Kline on the bridge. Once outside, Rear Admiral Wainright's division fell into formation and waited for the second and third group. The sec ond group consisted of the Vermont proudly flying the battle efficiency trophy at her fore; the Minnesota, Ken lucky. Ohio and Kearsarge, and the third was composed of the Wisconsin, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Illinois, Tho three groups waited outside and at 10:30 the Connecticut brought up the rear.

destroyed. Mrs. Conrington and her daughters were visiting in Gayoso at the time the storm passed. MT. Courington and the boys were at home, but escaped without injury.
 Leaving this place 1t continued doing great injury to the farms of County Treasurer Kitchens, Moses Stephenson and others. One strange result of this storm is that no lives were lost, but the destruction is something fearful and many of the people in the storm track stand greatly in need of help
 At a public mass meeting held tonight to take steps for the relief of the many sufferers from yesterdays tornado in this vicinity there was appointed a relief com mittee to go over the afflicted district and ascertain the urgent needs, consist ing of A.

M Cranford, J. r. Swindle, M O. Travis, Simon Levy and A. P. Delenne Any aid from outside will be eheerfully received and made use of. There were many homes totally destroyed and the inhabitants are rendered destitute.

A CLOSE SHAVE
Many of Them Happening Every Day
 but Soon Forgotten.

Close slaves would be of more fre- ouet occurrence but for the tender faces of many men. which will not per init of shaving often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these columns about poslam, new skin discovery, in connection with it's use after shaving It's publicity and sales have been con fined almost exclusively to Its remark able properties as an eczema cure, ll stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases In a few days. Whlle the application of poslam after shay ing is one of it's minor uses, sueh as for pimples, the complexion, etc. shavers will find It a revelation, as IL does for abrasions, roughness ana severe scrapings what t does for all manner of skin diffculties-heals and cures in a few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptie ana curative value that has ever been ex- plotted for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet prep aration could possibly do.
 Poslam can be had for 50 cents at any reliable druggists, particularly Jacobs Pharmacy. who make a spe- cialty of it. Or the Emergency Labo- ratories. No. 32 West Twenty-fifth street, New York city will send a trial supply free by mall to any one who will write for 1t. This is sufficient to show results in 24 hours.

SERVIA CANNOT PAY ALL DEMANDS

Vienna, February 6.-The continuous war preparations of Servia are being closely watched here, but an angry note to that power from Prince Nicholasl Of Monte negro, demanding forthwith the promised payment of 100000 francs, without which he cannot longer keep his army on Q war footing, confirms the report that the servian treasury is empty. At the same time it is certain that the trade of the country has gone to pieces.
 It is stated tonight that the Turkish government has arranged with Russia for the paving of the entire war indemnity, while provision is also being made to pay off the claims of the shareholders in the Orient railway.

 SEVERELY PUNISHED

will appeal through his friends to the President for modification of the sentence.
 The suspension for six months in Cap tain Qualtrough's case is not regarded as oppressive for the reason that it was expected that the conduct of all officers should be above reproach while on this cruise It is likely that Commander Sims may be assigned to the command of the Georgia when she arrives at Hampton Roads. Meanwhile Captain Qualtrough Is coming home as a passenger, and Com mander Cline has been placed in com- mand of the Georgia.

Washington, February 6.-(Special. 1.-The courtmartial sentence of Capt. Edward Qualtrough of the Georgia, which causes him to lose 10 files, will have serious effect on his ultimate promotion.
 The sentence removes him from twenty fifth to thirty-hfth in the list of captains and unless there are very rapid promo tions for causes not now foreseen he will not reach the rank of rear admiral before his retirement.
 It is thought the captain for this reason will not let the matter rest with the sentence of the court as a finalty, but

What has long been known az
the Dawson County Bank of Wi
baux, which was first organized by
Messrs. W. A. Orgain and J. b.

to reorganize with capital stock
OF $40, 600, practically all Of which

sume it, new mans. and manage

this time. However. its chief pro.
motion is being made by one Of
our most enterprising citizens, IN
the person Of Henry Mullendore,
and it is quite generally understood
that immediate steps will he taken
to perfect the organization, and
pen up under the new regulations.
In taking out q bank charter
under the National banking laws
the new institution will then be
under the direct supervision Of
Uncle Sam and the Comptroller Of

and with the practical business
men who are back Of the institu.

the start.
In reply to an inquiry, for the
names of all who are interested in
the proposed bank Mr.. Mulleudore
informed MS that et this time il was
impossible to give "ut the names

run for several years, with Mr..
Orgain as its chief executive, when
it was purchased by the Freeman
brotuers, who, on September 23rd.,
