AVIATOR ATWOOD
REACHES NEW YORK
Completes Cross Country Trip
From ST. Louis.

New York, Aug. 26.-Harry N. At
wood has completed his wonderful
flight from st. Louis to this city, pass.
ing down the Hudson river in front of
Manhattan at 2:25.
The dock fronts we're damned with
crowds, who cheered the daring avia.
tor to the limit, and the whistle
valves of every craft on the river
were tied down, making pandemonium
as he steered direct for the upper
bay, the end of his flight.
1t was originally suggested by At.
wood that he would try to follow the
line of Broadway, but he later de,
cided this would be f%oolhardy and he
kept his machine on an even keel di;
rectly over the Hudson river and at
an altitude of about ITS feet.
Atwood landed at Governors island
at 2:40, having made his record from
st. Louis to New York, 1854 miles, in
1,704 minutes-the greatest feat OF

News Of the Week From vati-
Gus Parts Of the State.
PRIMARIES OCCUR MARCH is
This State Will Probably Be the First
to Show Presidential
Preference.

Because North Dakota will be the
first state to express itself on presi-
Dental candidates this state expects
to be the seat of much political activ-
ity during the next seven months.
North Dakota will hold it's presiden-
t1al primaries March IS, the first of
the five states that have the new pre-
f%erential primary, and it is o proba-
BILE that any of the states that have
the old convention system will select
delegates any earlier. North Dakota
will have only ten delegates in a con-
vention of more than 1000, but the
psychological effect of victory is worth
something, and therefore all the as
pirants for presidential honors will
make special efforts to land the dele
cations from this state.
The executive committee of the
North Dakota Progressive Republican
league, which met at Fargo, decided to
put aside all state politics and throw
q wet blanket OF all candidates that
bob up until after the presidential pri-
maries are out of the way. The pro-
gressives are going to work as hard
as they can to carry the state for a
progressive candidate.
They do not say they mean La Fol-
lette, but that is understood.
The stalWarts are quiet now. They
concede that if the primaries were held
today La Toilette would have a walk
away as against Taft. But they are
waiting, hoping that the storm will
blow over and that the feeling against
Taft and reciprocity will subside. The
stalWarts are hoping that Taft's trip
through the state will help some and
they are arranging as many stops for
him as possible. They hope to have
some other speakers here during the
fall and winter.
The members of the progressive
league say Tafts visit will not help
him any. But whether it does or not
they are going to work as hard as
they can to get votes away from him.
They propose from now on to organize
the state by counties and precincts
and to see that every voter hears of
the issues and goes out to. the polls.
Two years ago, they say, they got a
big vote, although they had only the
skeleton of an organization.
The ~progressives plan to have a
number of speakers here during the
fall and early winter and to have a
big meeting of the league in January.
The Democrats will also make an
extra effort to get the delegates from
this state, because of the effect it
will have on other states that select
their delegates later.

Terrific Hurricane Sweeps Along
South Atlantic Coast.
CHARLESTON SUFFERS MOST
Death List Liable to Increase and a
Large Number of Persons Sus-
tain Injuries.

Charleston, S. c., Aug. 29, via Sum-
merville, S. C.-Seven persons known
to be dead, many injured and property
damage of more than 81, 600, 1000, so far
as a be ascertained, is the damage
wrought by the terrific storm which
swept Charleston Sunday afternoon,
isolating that city from the rest of
the world
Great relief was felt when it was
learned that all the people on Sulli-
vans island are safe, having been
taken off by the ferryboat Lawrence,
which tied up over night at Mount
Pleasant wharf.
The harbor is filled with wreckage
of small boats, %schooners and launches;
many piers are washed away and in
the city the streets are streWn with
fallen trees, roofs, fences and other
debris.
Among the principal buildings dam
aged are the customs house, postofice,
St. Michael's church and the Wahoo
fertilizer mills, which practically were
ruined. The street car, electric, tele-
phone and fire alarm systems are out
of commission
All trains are leaving the city from
an old depot, the floors of the new sta
ton and the tracks being under water.
Ninety-four-MiIe Wind.
At the height of the storm the wind
reached a velocity of n%inety-four miles
an hour, while the tide rose eight feet
at the battery in front of the city, this
being three feet short of the record
established in 1903. The rainfall was
more than two inches. The disturb
ance was reported to be west of
Charleston and working away.
Splendid work in rescuing individ-
uals and families was done by the
soldiers from Fort Moultrie, the res
cued being taken care of at the gov
eminent reservation.
Eight Or ten schooners and small
steamers either were sunk or dam
aged. The schooner Edwina has nine
feet of water in her hold; a few
boards is all that is left of the pilot
boat Sophia Ameliak; the dredge
SeWee was sunk; the schooner Laura
Hall is ashore on a mud flat up the
Cooper river and the schooner Hum
marock was seriously damaged by
pounding. The naval reserves also
suffered some loss. Their boat was
wrecked and their cutter barely saved.

THEATER HORROR IN
PENNSYLVANIA Town
TWenty-six' Persons Killed and

explosion Of a moving picture film,
tWenty-six persons, chiefly boys and

A flash OF flame, a cry of fire, a mad
rush, in which men and women fought
with each other and trampled down
children-it was all over in a few min

and injury.
The moving picture cage was in the
second gallery and the stairs we're all
inside, leading from the second to the
first balcony and from that to the
main floor. All of the occupants of the
crowded house dashed for these stairs
and instantly the jam at the main
exit was. solid. Those who had pres
ence of mind enough to seek the fire
escapes were not injured, but the ma

stairs.
When the first rescuers made their
way into the main entrance they con-
fronted a solid wall of humanity,
many of them dead, others terribly
wounded. The cries of the women and
children were awful to hear and half
the men who started to their rescue
were sickened by the horror. All the
ambulances and vehicles within call
were summoned to carry the dead and
injured to an %improvised morgne or to
the hospitals. The fire caused no
damage, being confined to the moving

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug.
29.-Between gulps of intense emotion

murder how sorry he was he had done
it, a circumstance relating tt the

suppressed.

but thrilling testimony given by Paul

will be conducted at the North Dakota
experimental station and additional
equipment is being secured by Pro-
fessor E. J. Babcock of the state uni

carried on so far have revealed that
the briquettes can be manufactured
successfully, but as yet the question
of actual cost is one that has not
been fully inquired into and one that
had a great deal to do with the COM
