Gulf Storm Takes
Big Toll Of i Lives

Mobile Oct. 1.-The West Indian
hurricane that spent its force last
night against New Orleans took a
toll of at least two score lives and
did extensive property damage at
smaller cities and resorts along the

vices coming in slowly tonight over
crippled lines Of communication.
Most Of the loss of life reported was
lin Premier and Manshac, louisiana.
The railroad agent at the former town
telegraphed that eight white persons
and II negroes had been drowned and
many injured when the wind drove the
waters Of Lake Panohartrin into the
streets. At Manshac, 10 miles farther
north, a railroad section foreman and
16 negro laborers were reported
drowned. Two children lost their
lives in Pascagoula, Miss, when a

from grip, in a camp at Valley city
ChautauQua grounds, the loss of
which was not discovered for few
days, written to the chief Of police Of

the lost watch. Valley City is to be

Aberdeen Thriives
F. Without the Saloons

Minneapolis, Oct 2.-Prophecies of
the wet element in Aberdeen, S. D.,
that business depression would follow
the voting out of the saloons, have
not been fulfilled, according to Charles
N. Herreid, former governor of South
Dakota, who was a Minneapolis visi-
tor today. He declared that Aber-
deem has been better off financially
and in every way since the saloons
were closed out July 1.
1.-THE REIMBURSEMENT that so many
feared was not noticed in business"
said Mr.. Herreid. Aberdeen is a
rapidly growing, up-to-date city. If
any city would be injured, city that
is striving to become a great distrib'
uting center and which is in close
competition with other cities would be
most likely to suffer.
Aberdeen is such city and bust
ness is better today than it was be-
fore the saloons went out. The places
formerly occupied by saloons are rent
ed to men in other lines of business
and these men are doing a good bust
ness. Business in all lines has i'm
proved, and citizens of Aberdeen are
better off. 1t is certainly better il
morals and there are going to be more
home owners than ever before.
with these conditions in Aberdeen
certainly have no time to listen tt
speakers who say that Minneapolis o.
any other city is going to suffer in
business way by voting the saloons
out. Minneapolis will not be sorry.

War Loan Taken in
Very Few Days

New York, Oct. 2.-Underwriters OF
the $5OO,O0O, 900 Anglo-French bond is.
sue soon to be offered the public, were
of the opinion today that the entire
amount would be subscribed within a
few days. The lists will be closed in
all probability early next week, pos
sibly Monday. .f
The so banks, trust companies and
financial institutions which comprise
the underwriting syndicate in New
York city were cheered by the sup
port given them from Jewish clients,
a scource from which they had not ex-
pected subscriptions to such an extent
as have been realized during the three
days that have elapsed since the de-
tails of the underwriting were publish
ed. The definite announcement by a
member of the Anglo.French commits
sion that Russia would not be par
ticipant in the funds derived, is be-
lieved to have entered, to large extent,
into the decision Of Jews to subscribe.
Figures as to the total subscribed
placed the sum at 1866, 100000, as of
Thursday night. The remaining $685.
100000, it was thought, would be OBJ
tanned without difficulty. Many wes-
tern cities and towns are yet to be
heard from and in those already re-
ported, it was said, support had been
stronger than at first anticipated.
1t is the plan of the underwriters, it
is understood, to give all corners an
opportunity to share'in the participa-
ton. In the possible event of an over
subscription, it was said that the ap.
plicants for relatively small allotments
would be considered first. Payments
on the bonds will be made in three in
stalments, Is per cent each on Oct.
Is and Nov. Is and the remaining so
per cent on Dec. Is.

THIS MAN BURNED WHILE IN JAIL

Devils Lake, Oct. 2.-Armis Mmki is
at the general hospital suffering from
burns sustained while held as a pris-
oner in the village Jail at Edmore.
Just how the affair occurred is a
mystery. Mmki was arrested and was
to be held pending an examination. 1t
is stated that he was not searched, or
at least matches were not taken from
him. Whether he wilfully fired the
Jail, or whether matches in his pocket
might have ignited if he rolled in his
cell, are questions which he alone can
answer. @
He was reported doing nicely and
will doubtless recover.
