HUNDREDS RENDERED HOMELESS
The Town of Cedar Keys Lereled to the
Gronnl--Sxty-Sevea Persona
Killed In the State.
Jacksonville,-Fla., Oct. 5. Commu
nication with the interior is restored,
and the news of the destruction of life
and property by Tuesday's hurricane
becomes appalling. Hundreds of per
sons are homeless and roast suffer from
hunger unless relief shall be quickly fur
nished. Reports to the Citizen from
many different towns, including all of
the important points in Levy, Lafayette,
Suwanee, Columbns, Bradford and Baker
counties, show that sixty-seven persons
were killed, and ; sixty-two injured.
These are the known causal tiee. ' To
this total, probably a considerable num
ber must be added to cover those not yet
heard from.
The loss of life was gr a est at
Cedar Keys, on the Gulf of Mexico,
where the hurricane entered the state.
Over half of the known deaths occurred
at that place. The destruction of valu
able timber, turpentine trees, farm crops
phosphate works and buildings of eveiy
description in the counties mentioned
forming a belt .acrose the state from
southwest to northwest, will aggregate
hundreds of thousands if not millions
of dollars.
Full and authentic advices from Cedar
Keys late tonight show the almost total
destruction of the town, and the loss of
thirty-nine lives. This is believed to in
clude the complete roll of the dead. At
Shell Mound, a great pleasure resort
near that. place, a party of five men,
three women and three children were
camping out. Some surveyors making
. their way borne after the storm found 11
bodies strewn on the shore, under logs
and brush. They -were close together,
which would indicate that they were
simultaneously killed by the tidal wave.
Eight other bodies have been found
on the beach.. Twenty fishermen are
still missingy'iyU of whom are dead.
During the hurricane at Cedar Keys,
the water came up with the wind, and
down -the principal streets rushed a mad
torrent, npon which floated houses, boats
and debris o! every description. " While
the tempest was at its height, - the
Bettelini house, the, Bcheinmer and John
bnerriu s residence took hre and were
burned. The destruction of property
was very great, the loss being estimated
at $250,000. r

Steamer Arago Carried on the Rocks of
Coos Bay North Jetty.
Mahshfibld, Or., Oct. 20. The Ore
gon Coal & Navigation Company's
steamer Arago is a total- wreck. She
lies in about 30 feet of water on the Coos
bay, and 200 yards from the bones of the
wrecked whaleback steamer Wetmore
The cause of the accident is somewhat
enveloped in mystery, as all of the offi
cers refuse to give any statement as to it,
though no blame is attached to Captain
Reed:
The Arago left her dock at Empire
City this morning and reached the bar
about 8 o'clock. The weather was thick
and the bar exceedingly rough,' although
it was nothing uncommon for the Ara
- go to cross out in such weather. As the
breakers were neared, the steamer was
on her course close in to the north jetty
- ssne was slowed down, and when near
the end of the jetty a northerly current
! We want your tea-trade
for the rest of your life.
' : Do you see now how we
can afford to say : "Get

Best of .your grocer, am

what you don't like" ?

Su Francisco .
Ciught her bow, swinging her around.
At the same time a tremendous wave
caught her on the port quarter and com
pletely shifted her around out of her
course belore ene con: a De neaaea
around. Another sea caught . her and
drove her stern upon the rocks of the
jetty, breaking a hole in her bottom.
The Arago by this time had drifted
among the breakers and was beyond con
trol by her helm.
The next sea that followed carried
away the after cabin, containing several
passengers, and a waiter with it.
Captain Reed then ordered the boats
lowered, as she was sinking astern and
waves were washing her decks. Two
lifeboats were lowered and loaded. One
capsized not far from the steamer, but
righted again, only to turn over once
more. The sea was so'trething terrific,
and it looked as if the lifeboats would
not live long. The last time the lifeboat
capsized the only man to appear on the
surface was rescued by the lifeboat in
charge of the second mate.
Chief Engineer W. Hi. is row n was
washed-overboard while-on the steamerT
and John Norman, a . 'passenger, was
washed out of the rigging by the force of
the waves.
Captain Reed remained by bis ship,
and was the last to have. He was taken
off with the remaining passenger and
by the lifeeaving crew.
Among the lives known to be lost are :
John Norman, Marshfield, passenger.
E. McGraw, Coqaille City, passenger.
Richard Walters, of Oakland, Or., pas

W. E. Brown, chief engineer.
William Whittle, fireman.

Chicago, Oct. 20. Special to The
Chkoxicle Republicans here are great
ly encouraged over the day's registration
in Chicago which shows that every
sound money Democrat will vote against
Bryan. Democrats in their Illinois state
headquarters privately concede the hope
lessness of their campaign, and have
practically closed their attack here.
They will now turn their attention
to Michigan and Indiana. They have
sent the chief of the speakers' bureau to
Michigan to manage the oratorical cam
paign in the saddle. The first day's ex
perience has been decidedly discourag
ing. Telegrams indicate that ex-President
Harrison's stamp tour, begun today,
has aroused Indiana, and that Gen.
Alger's train - of old Boldiers . touring
Michigan has aroused that state. The
Popocratic campaign' of misrepresenta
tion proceeds. Their determination to
make untruths the chief ammunition till
election day is demonstrated by the offi
cial announcment of a Popocratic silver
organ in Chicago, whose principal owner
is under sentence to the penitentiary for
sending obscene literature through the
mails. This organ re-published the
odious Pressly letter from Boston, re
ferred to in these dispatches yesterday,
in spite of the fact that Chairman
Hanna has denounced it publicly in
every newspaper in the country as a
falsehood. Chairman Jones also con
tinues the effort to - array class against
class and stir up bitterness among the
working people by issuing to the news
papers for publication an inflammatory
statement which charges that employes
are being - coerced into the support of
McKinley, although this statement has
been repeatedly denied and proven false
in every case where the charge was spe
cifically made and an investigation pos
sible. Right Reverend George L.
Seymour, bishop of Episcopal diocese of
Southern Illinois, joined in. the public
expression in - favor of sound money
made by Bishop Newman of the Method
ist church, and Archbishop Ireland and
Monsigneur Zeninger of the Roman
Cathulic church, through a letter to the
state Republican committee of I linois.
Trouble broke out in the Popocratic
camp today over . the discovery by am
bitions men that promises of certain
official positions of high grade are freely
made, and that they are being dupli
cated in a way extremely embarrasing
to those who have "put up" to secure
the first pledges.- This is especially il
lustrated in the discovery that the posi
tion of minister to France, which was
promised to Marquis Daley, the Mon
tana silver mine owner, has now been
repledged, this time to Daley's bitter
political enemy, W. A. Clarke, another
Montana silver mine owner. It is un
derstood that a contribution of $70,000
was obtained from Clarke in addition to
$30,000 already given to the campaign
fund, Clarke's ambition being to shii e
in diplomatic circles as'a "silver king."
This Is Tour Opportunity.
On receipt of ten cents, cash or stamps,

The readers of this paper will .be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to care in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Care is
the only positive care known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh' being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. .Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, actinic-directly
npon the blood und mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of ; the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building np the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have do much
faith in its curative powers, that they

thai it fails to care. Send for list of
