SERIOUS MOTOR ACCIDENT
Ed Farmer Has His Motorcycle
Smashed in Collision.

AS a result of collision with an auto
last Sunday afternoon Ed. Farmen's
motorcycle is now laid up for repairs,
and Ed is nursing various bumps,
bruises and aches.
In company with Tom Candy he had
started out for little spin, and just as
they were nearing the top of the hill
near the Thos. McKennett place M. ID.
Candy came over the hill from the OPP
posite direction in his automobile. Mel
Their Mr.. Candy or the boys saw each
other in time to avoid a collision, and
the three machines crashed together.
Tom Candy escaped without a scratch
and his motorcycle was not injured to
any extent. Ed Farmer was not so
fortunate. He was thrown quite a dis
lance and sustained numerous severe
bruises, while his motorcycle was badly
wrecked. Mr. Gandy's auto came out
of the melee with nothing more serious
than broken radiator.
All three machines were running at a
high rate of speed at the time of the
accident, and the participants consider
it extremely fortunate that the results
were not more serious.
The same afternoon Jack Chapman
was seriously injured in another motor
cycle accident. Young Chapman, who
is novice in the art of motorcycling,
borrowed wheel and started out for a
short ride. Not far from town he met
team, and when he attempted to cut
down the speed he evidently lost his
head and turned on the full speed.
When he saw that he could not check
his speed, he attempted to turn out
and as result the machine overturned,
throwing him quite distance. He was
brought to town and upon examination
it was found that he had fractured four
ribs and sustained several other severe
injuries as result of his fall. That
night he was taken to a hospital at
Minneapolis, and the latest reports in
dictate that his condition is considered
serious.

Cannon Not Running

We would modestly suggest to Gov.
Vessey that Joe Cannon is not running
for office in South Dakota, and if the
governor will devote a portion of his
speech-making time to matters con-
nected with his administration of state
affairs he will be talking on a subject
that will be of much more interest to
the taxpayers Of this state. The peo-
pie will not be switched from the real
issue by politicians who talk Cannonism
aud dodge the questions that are of
vital interest to the taxpayers. The

TEXAS INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS.

The Commercial Club should ap-
point delegates TO the Texas Industrial
Congress, which will meet in Houston,
November 10. AS this is during carnl-
val week, II will be easy to find com.
petent persons wiling to attend. The
railroads, Of course, will make the
usual low rates. The official call, sent
out by President Kieberg, has already
been published in The Eagle but espe-
cial attention Is directed TO these ex.
tracts
Among the things which would i'm
prove our agricultural conditions are
better cultural methods, better coun-
try roads, and better marketing meth
ods and facilities.
THE next session OF the congress
will consider ways and means Of max
ing agricultural education more gen.
eral and more practical, and especially
of extending the practical usefulness
OF our agricultural and mechanical
college.
The economic loss caused by the
necessity of hauling light loads, the
loss Of time, and the injury to animals
and vehicles resulting from bad roads
over. which farm products must be
hauled to market, demand that atten-
tion be given to this subject.
But the greatest economic loss, as
sociated with the business OF farming.
results from the dumping methods Of
selling farY products, a method which
violates Every law OF business. and
annually deprlves Texas business and
industries Of many millions Of dollars.
Chief consideration will therefore be
given TO this, the greatest of all
causes OF economic loss and the great
est retarding influence to the indus
trial development Of our state. Too
little attention has hitherto been
given to this tremendous less, 10 in
dustrial Texas as whole, by our
financiers and business men. This con
gress hopes. not only to forcefully di-
rect their attention to il, but to pro-
cure their counsel and enlist their co
operation In stopping IT,"

Havana, Oct 1S.-The storm struck

across the harbor.
AT noon yesterday the storm appar.

much more Severe hurricane than
that Of 1906, when many were killed
The roof of the customs house was
carried away and all the public stores
on the harbor front were flooded
The streets of the city were already
filled with great masses of debris from
the storm of last week and much more
was piled up.
Many buildings were unroofed and
wires were torn down, trees uprooted
and structures toppled over.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise has been car
ried away Great waves were swept
over the customs sheds, carrying
away much property stored there.
The harbor front was strewn with
wreckage from ships in thei harbor,
and Judging from the forlorn aspect,
the loss OF life from the storm Will be
heavier, at least in this city, than from
the first one.
: Communication was cut off from-ne
interior. and 1t was not known how
much damage had been done in the
provincial country.
The national observatory noted the
atmospheric conditions and said the
moisture would gather and as il swept
away from Cuba 1t would become more
and more menace TO life and prop
erty.
II was stated at the national OBJ
seryatory that it would last for at
least twenty-four hours.
