FIVE HUNDRED DIE
IN GULF HURRICANE
Thousands Are Homeless; Army
Commander BUSHES Aid.
MILLIONS IN PROPERTY LOSS
Corpus Christi Is Swept by Flood
Port Arkansas, Town of 600 Popu-
Iation, Is Entirely Demolished
All Wires Down.

Austin, lex, Sept. 16.-At least 500
in the Corpus Christie district, ac-
cording to a message from ex-MayOr
Roy Miller to headquarters of the
southern department of the army at
San Antonio and forwarded to the
state adjutant here.
San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 16.-Gen.
Joseph T. Dickman, commander of the
southern department, ordered a relief
train sent to Corpus Christi. The train
will carry tents, cots, blankets, medl-
cal supplies and several thousand cases
of fOOdstuffs.
where 600 persons lived, has been de-
stroyed, but whether or not the inhab-
itants had taken shelter inland is not
known.
A radio from the captain of Me-
dian Line steamer to Galveston says
that his vessel has gone ashore over
the piling and that the town is com
pletely destroyed" His message said
nothing about loss of life and it is pre-
sumed he knows nothing except what
has befallen his own ship.
5000 Are Homeless.
Corpus Christi is the hardest hit of
any place from which definite reports
have come. Twenty-eight are known
to be dead there, 5000 are homeless,
100000 worth of property is de-
stroyed, and water from six to twelve
feet deep covers one of the finest resi-
dence sections along the North shore.
Appeals have been sent out for food
and bedding.
+ One report says martial law has
been proclaimed, but this is taken to
mean that only the military is helping
to rescue the suffering and to preserve
order.
White Ponta. not far from Corpus
Christi, reports that three bodies have
been washed ashore there, and that
persons on RATS can be seen at sea.
Communication Cut Off.
Victoria, in the Brownsville dis
trict, is still cut off from this part of
the state.
Reports from near the coast in the
counties of Victoria, Matagorda and
Calhoun are that summer houses have
been RACED and cotton crops destroyed,
but no loss of life is definitely re-
ported
At KingsvilIe the roundhouse of the
Gulf Coast Lines has been destroyed
hI1t mr. &c do Of fof TO
The message coming from the di.
vision superintendent of the railroad
at Kingston, also confirms the report
of deaths and destruction at Corpus
Christi.
Roy Miller, former mayor of Cor
pus Christi and now president of the
relief committee, has managed to get
this message through to Houston:
'Please spread word that food sup
plies, cots, bedding and general sup
plies, should be rushed to Corpus
Christi at once. Aid and relief neces-
sary on account of storm. Damage is
approximately $3,000,000. Twelve or
fourteen known dead and great num-
Der homeless"
AS in the great disaster at Calves.
ton years ago, the damage in Corpus
Christi and Port Arkansas was due to
the piling up of the gulf waters by
terrific gale from the east and by the
violence of the gale itself.
The heavy gale and the rain com.
bined to ruin crops and wreck build
ings inland.

A MINERAL POINT INTERVIEW

Mr. Hartley Tells His Experience.
The following brief account Of an in
terview with a Mineral Point man five
years ago, and it's sequel, will de read
with keen interest by every citizen.
George Fl. Hartley, cigar manufac-
turer, State street, Mineral Point, says:
Il suffered for several months from Sc
we're, sharp pains in the small OF my
back. My kidneys were sore and the
kidney secretions were unnatural. l
got Doans Kidney Pills at Ivey's Drug
Store and two or three boxes drove
away the pain. The kidney secretions
cleared UP and felt better in every
way"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr.
Hartley said: II have as much conf
dence in Doan's Kidney Pills today as
when I recommended them some years
ago They rid me of an attack of kid
ney trouble. When I have any return
symptoms of kidney complaint, l use
Doan's Kidney Pills at once and they
always relieve me-
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Hartley
had Foster Milburn Company, Mfgrs.

U. S. CLEANS MINE FIELDS
Five Thousand Men Are at Work
Destroying $4,000, 900 Worth
of Explosives.

London.-More than half Of the
mines laid by the American navy in
the North sea, in field $50 miles long
and 80 miles wide, from the Doggel
bank off the Dutch coast to the Scan
dinavian waters, have been destroyed
by an American mine-sweeping fleet.
If good weather continues, the WORK
will be finished before winter; if not
the mine sweeping will extend long
into 1920. The operations are under
the direction of Admiral Strauss, who
has his headquarters at Inverness.
Seventy-five ships with total com
plement of 5000 men are cleaning uI
the mine fields, destroying all the
mines, which it cost more than $500
each to lay. The total cost Of laying
the American mine field was nearly
$5o,OOO,O0O.
If the American mine sweepers
have not finished their job by the
middle of September, the ships will
winter in southern ports and the men
will go home on leave and come back
in the spring when the sea is free OF
ice storms. The British mine field In
the North sea contains 10000 mines.

High Water Mark for
Flat Rents in Gotham.

The high water mark of resi-
Dental rentals in the world will
be attained in an apartment
house to be erected at once in
New York. The building will be
IL stories in height and will con-
tain IL apartments-ten simplex
and seven duplex. The rentals
of the apartments will vary
from $4,000 to $4,000 each,
and, according to the owners
estimate, the gross. rental for the
II families will be SAL, 800,
which, figured on the basis of
square footage, will be the larg-
est rent for apartment residen-
tial purposes ever realized in the
world.
AS an example of the luxuri-
BUSINESS of the proposed build
ing, the main duplex apartments
will contain 20 rooms, including
a salon "a by 40 feet, dining
room, 81 by 33 feet, five open
fireplaces, seven baths, and six
master bedrooms. Each apart
ment will have separate service
elevators and service halls lead
ing to the service sections where
the household employees will
stay.

MARKETING IN ITALY
Housewives There Must Hunt
Through Town for Food.
Job Requires Seven Hours OF Each
Day and Supplies Are Very
Scanty.

ROme-Seven hours of each day of
the Italian housekeeper must be de-
voted to- buying food. The problems
of the ordinary American housekeep-
er pale into insignificance even with
their troublesome servants when COM
pared to the Italian. Domestic serv-
ants strikes in Italy are chronic.
The recent upheaval in Italian eco
nomics when the government ordered
prices of foodstuffs and clothing re-
duced so per cent has begun its re-
action, and the factor affected most
is the housekeeper. She must start
to market at seven o'clock in the morn
ing, and is forced to hurry from one
store to another. To obtain piece
of meat usually takes two hours. To
obtain bread about an hour, eggs
two hours, vegetables, one hour and a
half and canned goods about an hour.
The housekeeper's day starts by
placing herself at the back of long
line of waiting customers. The line
sometimes extends for a half block,
guarded by armed carabineers. When
the buyer is permitted to enter the
store she finds inside a scramble for
all sorts of commodities. Guards are
stationed there to prevent any mis-
chief. If she obtains what she wants
she is lucky.
She treads over the streets whole
morning, searching for the things for
lunch and then in the afternoon must
start on the hunt again for food. If
she is looking for butter she is usually
thankful to go away with a can of
American "bully beef"
1t often happens that her family
must miss a meal, but that is usually
overlooked. It is too evident on ev-
cry hand.
Housekeepers sometimes watch a
car of produce unloaded at the rail-
road station and follow the motor
trucks to the store, where the pro-
duce will be sold. When a carload Of
eggs arrived the other day, women
chung to the trucks carrying the eggs
to stores, while others ran alongside.
At the stores the clerks stood in the
doorways and handed out the eggs,
three only to a customer. Some GUS
toners reached over others heads
with their hats, while others pushed
aside the weaker ones.
Servants take their rest days by
telling the housekeeper they are go
ing for a day or two. They come back
when it suits them. The days of those
perfect Italian servants as Ameri-
cans used to call them, have passed,
and a housekeeper is lucky to have
q servant at all.
