Florida. its velocity was so miles.
There are indications the rain may
reach the Ohio valley Saturday
Reports OF the damage done by the
storm along the gulf coast and in Mis-
sissippi and Alabama were still meager
today but enough had been established
to make il certain the property loss
would amount 10 several millions.
Seventeen negroes lost their lives near
Beloit. Alabama last night
Crops suffered greatly from the
heavy rain Traffic on the more i'm
pOrtant railroads was almost complete
ly tied up and wire communication
with gulf points impossible or badly
cripDled.

ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR DOGS
New Form Of Legal Execution for ca
mines Adopted In Omaha and Ap-
proved by Humane Society.

The first legal electrocution of dogs
in Omaha occurred the other after
noon at the city pound.
The cage into which the dogs were
placed is six feet by six feet, with a
marble floor. Strips Of steel were
placed both ways of the marble, and
through this metal the fatal contact
was made. After the dogs had been
inclosed a switch was thrown. The
victims toppled over instantly, and
within three seconds were lifeless.
Three dogs were electrocuted at
one time. When further improve
ments are made it will be possible to
kill as many as twenty with the same
current. The device has been de-
clared success, and the humane so
ciety people say it is the most hui
name method of killing dogs. The
old method of applying charcoal
fumes to impounded dogs viii be
abandoned.
