corporation commission, and a local

last night that in all probability work
would begin soon. The corporation
commission approved the plans which
call for a building to cost not less
than $4,000 In this building will he

new structure is correct, some idea OF
what it will be, can be estimated when
it is realized that the present union
depot in this city cost approximately
one-third Of this figure.
1t is also rumored that the Rock
Island Railroad people will have an
interest in the new project

News altering in Dallas this after

hit by the storm, caused pessimism
to take the place of hope.

that the wind continued until last
night and at that time water was from
four to five feet .leep in the streets

There are Is dead at Hitchcock, 20

and six dead at Morgan's Point.
The property damage is believed
here to exceed that caused by the
terrific storm Of 1900. The water is
reported much farther inland than in

There is evidence too that the wind
was as terrific as that which swept
Galveston fifteen years ago. The prop.
