THE ORANGE LEADER
Storm Notes.
Palacios, Texas, July 22.—Palacios
presents a sad sight thi£ morning.
Many were hurt in the storm yes
terday, but only two were seriously
If
injured.
An uncompleted brick block or a
part of the upper story wall was
blown upon an adjoining residence of
Mr. Hogan, a corrugated iron build-
ing, which was crushed in. Mrs. Ho-
gan and her daughter were badly but
not necessarily fatally injured.
The wharves at the pavilion were
washed away and the: oyster house
badly damages The Dunbar bath
house was swept away.
The Baptist Young People's Union
bath houses and piers were badly
damaged. Two hundred tents in the
Baptist Y’oung People’s Union assem-
bly grounds were taken down or
blown away.
Bay City Wrecked.
Judge Sholars received a wire yes-
terday evening from his
son,
Sam, saying: “Bay City is wrecked;
just arrived in Houston.”
Bay City, Texas. July 22.—With
martial law proclaimed, the city in
darkness, cut off without water sup-
ply and a lack of help to clear away
the ruins. Bay City tonight is slowly
recovering from the storm of yester-
day which spent its fury upon this
vicinity But one life was claimed by
the hurricane, that of an infant of
Mr. Calloway, while others suffered
more or less painful injuries by fly-
ing glass or falling debiis
Bay City was apparently the cen-
ter of the storm’s path. The wind,
which began rising about 9 o'clock
in the morning, blew from the north-
west, and rose steadily until at 1.30
it was blowing 70 miles an hour.
In Bay City not a residence escap-
ed damage, the extent ranging from
injury from water to total destruc-
tion of the structures Fully fifty
residences were torn to kindling
wood, as many more blown from
their foundations and practically de-
molished, while every house that is
not included in the above was either
partially unroofed or its windows
smashed and the interior ruined by
water.
Property Loss $250,000
A conservative estimate of the
property loss sustained in the town
places the total at $250,000, though |
at this time it is impossible to detail
the losses. Following is an incom-
plete list of the principal buildings
injured:
The county jail, a brick structure,
almost demolished
The Baptist, Episcopal and Chris-
tian churches were totally destroyed,
and the Presbyterian and Catholic
churches were blow n from their foun-
dations
The Bay City high school building
was unroofed and most of the west
wall blown down; badly damaged
The Grand opera house building, a
two-story brick, was completely
wrecked
The Union Warehouse and Eleva-
tor company warehouse has nothing
but the floor left.
The Farmers’ Warehouse company
warehouse is almost entirely gone.
The Bay City rice mill is badly
damaged This w^s the only loss
that was covered by tornado insur-
ance
has been practically demolished and
the total number of structure remain-
ing will not exceed eight or tyne,
some of these having suffered dam-
ages of a more or less serious na-
ture.
The Velasco State bank stood prac-
tically intact; the two-story Dorches-
ter residence was skewed on its foun-
dations, but otherwise withstood the
storm; Harvey Hill’s residence was
thrown off its foundations; Charles
Skinner’s residence was skewed
over to one side, but stood; Oscar
Hudgins’ house was bolwm off the
foundation; C. J. Horn’s house, which
was several days ago struck by
lightning, suffered comparatively light
damage; the house belonging to Mr.
Deacon, newly erected, was unin-
jured.
In regard to the rest of the town
of Velasco it resembles a heap of
scrambled eggs, well done.
Mr. Dorchester, whose house was
among those which stood, was mana-
ger at Velasco for the Boston syn-
dicate which owns about 40,(XX) acres
of land in and about Velasco.
Masonic Building Demolished.
Among the buildings mentioned as
tW Masonic
being destroyed was
lodge, which is said to have been
totally demolished, including the
hardware and farming implement es-
tablishment of J. P Dingles,, occu-
pying the ground floor The postof-
fice was mentioned among the build-
ings which went to make up the gen-
eral debris.
Bowel Complaint in Children.
When six months old the little
daughter of E. N Dewey, a well
known merchant of Agnewville, Va.,
had an attack of cholera infantum.
Chamberlain’s Colic. Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was given and ef-
fected a complete cure This remedy
has proven very successful in cases
of bowel complaint in children
when given according to the plain
printed directions can Ije relied upon
with perfect confidence When re-
duced with w;ater and sweetened it is
pleasant to take, which is of great im-
portance when a medicine must be
given to young children For sale by
B. F. Hcwson.
VICTIM OF THE STORM
ley Johnson, a negro, helped him back
on a piece of wreckage when the
waves had torn loose his hold. Finally,
how-ever, he lost sight of all the
others, and made the rest of the jour-
ney w-ithout even the consolation of
a friendly voice or face to cheer him
in the trying time that followed.
“The last I saw of Mr. and Mrs.
Bettison and Mr. Daly, the Galves-
ton newspaper man, they were riding
on the roof of a house,” said he. “The
roof was being tossed .about like a
chip by the waves, which were run-
ping high, but they seemed to he
clinging together, and were all alive,
I believe when they passed out of
my range of vision.”
Mr.'Davies thinks he was the first
oj the party to reach the shore, and
thinks, too, that all of his compan-
ions must have been blown in the di-
rection of Houston Point. The morn-
ing after he landed and had been re-
fused aid by the heartless campers,
he was picked up by two lads, who
carried him to Morgan’s Point, where
he was given the attention he so
badly needed. Later he was brought
to Houston, where he intends to re-
main until he recovers from the ef-
fects of his thrilling experience.
Mr. Davies is of the opinion that
not a one of the party on the pier
at the time of the storm would have
been saved but for the life preservers
they donned before the house went
down. Before beginning their fright-
ful journey the members of the party
threw- away the greater part of their
clothing, so as not to be handicap-
ped in their struggle with the waters.
Mr. Davies lost practically all of
his clothing, two artificial limbs and
a considerable sum of money. These
losses are not troubling him, how-
and ever> and he is resting well, content
that he came out of the storm alivg.
His experience would have severely
taxed the strength of the strongest
men enjoying the use of all his limbs
and it is little short of miraculous
that Mr. Davies, with both legs am-
putated above the knees, should have
stood it at all. He is connected with
the Trinity Lumber company at
| Grovcton, w here he means to go as
soon as he recovers his strength.

Dyspepsia
A Great Scandal Unearthed in Letters
Found There from Prominent
Women and Officers of the Army,
Which Describe the Pleasures of
the Pipe.
If you can help it Kodol prevent* Dyspepsia, by
effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion.
But don’t trifle with Indigestion.
London, July 27.—The recent case
of Lieutenant Ullmo threw a painful
light on the evil of opium smoking
among French naval officers at Tou-
lon, and now the existence of the
same vice in Brest is ‘brought promi-
nently before public notice. Acting
upon the orders of the government,
the police a few days ago made visits
of inspection to the residences of
about a dozen women who had in-
stalled opium dens in »their boudoirs.
These places, it appears, were large-
ly frequented by officers of the navy
and of the colonial regiments.
At the places visited by the police,
quantities of letters were seized,
which, on examination by the judge
destruction, proved that quite a
number of the pupilj of the naval
school on the training ship Bonla
were attracted toward these opium
dens when they were granted shore
leave.
In some of the letters the naval ca-
dets describe, with an Oriental lux-
ury of detail, the ephemeral bli*s
which they experienced from indulg-
ence in the fumes -of the noxious
drug.
A great many people who have
trifled with indigestion, have been
sorry for It—when nervous or
chronic dyspepsia resulted, and
they have not been able to cure it
Use Kodol and prevent having
Dyspepsia.
Everyone la subject to Indiges-
tion. Stomach derangement follows
•tomach abuse, just as naturally
and just aa surely as a sound and
healthy stomach results upon the
taking of Kodol.
When you experience sourness
of stomsch, belching of gas and
nauseating fluid, bloated sensation,
gnawing pain In the pit of the
stomach, heart burn (so-called),
diarrhoea, headaches-, dullness or
chronic tired feeling—you need Ko-
dol. And then, the quicker you take
Kodol—the better. Eat what you
want, let Kodol digest It.
Ordinary pepsin “dyspepsia tab-
lets,” physics, etc., are not likely
to be of much benefit to you, in
i digestive ailments. Pepsin Is only
a partial digester—and.physics ar*
not digesters at all.
Kodol Is a perfect digester. If
you could see Kodol digesting every
particle of food, of all kinds, In the
glass test-tubes in our laboratories,
you would know this just as well
as we do.
Nature and Kodol will always
cure a sick stomach—but In order
to be cured, the stomach must rest.
That Is what Kodol does—rests the
stomach, while the stomach gets
well. Just as simple as A, B, C.

were born there. After his removel to
Bryan and his death there, nearly
nine years ago, the widow with her
