J. S. Wheeles and family who
were reported among the dead list
at Galveston, escaped alive, we
are glad to report.
Fearful rains are reported to have
fallen in the northern and western
part of the state and rivers are
overflowing their banks and ruin-
ing crops and endangering the lives
of the people.
The Hawley wing of the repub-
lican party nominated a negro for
State School Superintendent. How
do you like that—eh. A negro to
preside over the princely Texas
school funds and the educational
institutions.
Whenever the Sticker eulogizes
a man our readers can feel pretty
safe that the man is entitled to and
worthy of all he gets, as the Stick-
er has not a habit of praising an
undeserving one, and rathe* de-
lights in roasting those who need
it.
Mr. C. E. Lane made one of the
best representatives Fayette coun-
ty ever had. He is an honest,
truthful and conscientious gentle-
man, and the people of Fayette
county are glad that he is the dem-
ocratic choice for the position
which he so ably filled last session.
Schulenburg and its vicinity has
{he most liberal hearted people to
be found anywhere in the state. In
the lasj three weeks they have do-
nated 82,300 for a public school
building, 8900 for a bridge over the
East Navidad, on the Weimar road,
and over $400 for the storm suf-
ferers.
A writer to the Weimar Mercury
in last week's issue asks the city
council of Weimar why they do
not have a financial statement pub-
lished. It's the same way here.
No statement has been published in
three or four years, and it's high
time that the people are furnished
a statement so they can see what
is done with the money—how and
what it is spent for. If we are not
mistaken, the law requires it.
considerable damage there, evi-'
dence of which was plainly visible
at every corner there were at every
vacant store building headquarters
for the sufferers to which they
were invited and tenderly cared
for. While there we also met
Henry Miller the gradd keeper of
record and seal of the K. ot P. or-
der of Texas. Brother Miller is one
of the noblest menGod ever created
and it made him feel good to be
able to lend assistance to the
needy. While there we aJso met
our friend, Henry Alexander who
invited us to dinner with him and
then took us over his entire candy
factory which occupies six floors
and in which are emploped 75
hands who were as busy as they
could be. We had no idea that
such a large candy factory was in
existence. „ The loss they sustained
by the storm was quite severe, the
whole roof was torn off and water
damaged lots of candy which is
totally ruined.
FOUR MILLIONS WIPED OUT.
The Journal would like to have
the Chairman of the executive com-
mittee state which leg his back-
bone is on in this question which
is now agitating the democracy of
Fayette county. The columns of
the Journal are open to him.—La
Grange Journal.
- It seems to us that this question
is "agitating" no one but the twin
•brother of the "It" of the La
Grange Journal. And the democ-
racy of Fayette county is tired of
squabbling, and therefore pays no
attention to the agitator.
The remark made by Walter
Gresbam, of Galveston, thaf the
storm was a blessing for Galveston,
thereby getting rid of much unde-
sirable population is anything but
commendable. Of course, it is
well known that the poorer class
of citizens suffered the mostj and if
he insinuates that they are not as
good as the wealthier class he is
guilty of a falsehood. No doubt
there is many a man in the list of
the dead that has a better reputa-
tion for honesty than some of the
"silk stocking" gang of the pirate
isle.
Mr. A. G. Youens, local insur-
ance inspector, has finished his
count of the buildings formerly
occupying the district along the
Gulf of Mexico and within the city
of Galveston, which were entirely
wiped out by the storm. He finds
that there were 2536 buildings
standing in this district before the
storm—now they are all gone.
This means that there were
2536 •'occupancies" in the district-
that is 2536 residences and grocery
stores; and of courses all the stables
sheds and outhouses belonging to
these homes were also swept away.
The fire map did not cover the
Kinkead and Colorado additions,
but the records of the inspector^
office, show that there were 75
"occupancies" in those additions;
they were swept away. He esti-
mates that at least a thousand other
buildings were destroyed in vari-
ous parts of the city outside of the
district which was totally swept.
Mr. Youens went through
frightful experience in the storm,
when his home was swept away
and when three of his children
were lost, after he had made super-
human efforts to save them. The
strain he has been under has told
upon him and he is now ill. He
does not know wh.en he will be
able to resume work upon the re-
port which he wishes to make
to the insurance companies.
While the duplicate inspectors
reports on file in his office show
the value of most of the buildings
destroyed, Youens said it would
be an interminable task to check
up the reports and compute the
losses in that way. His experience
has shown that dwelling houses,
on an average, contain furniture
clothing, etc., equaling Ae value
of the houses themselvss. On this
bases he estimates the average
value of the bouses in the district of
total annihilation at $1500 for each
occupancy. - Of course there are
great many houses worth several
thousand dollars each, but thero
were many of small value, and
Mr. Youens thinks the average
given will hold good.
This estimate, of course, has
nothing to do with the total losses
nor with the damage to bouses
not totally destroyed outside the
district of total destruction, nor to
damage to stocks of goods, etc.
But in the district of total destruc-
tion, according to Mr. Youens esti-
mate, 2631 human habitation,
worth $3,931,000 were wiped out.
And this does not take into account
the loss on real estate which was
washed into the sea.—Galveston

WEIMAR LOCALS.
Miss Rosa Wolff and daughter,
Freda, from Galveston, are here.
Mrs. Wolff and three of her family
passed safely through the fearful
storm. We extend to them our
heartfelt congratulations on their
safety.
Mr. J. C. (Dick) Ellis is here on
a visit from Galveston. He was
in the storm, but came out without
a scratch.
Monday evening Miss Mary
Styers, of this place, and Mr. John
Brooks, of Bellyille, were married
at the bride's home. They left on
the afternoon train fcr Bellville,
which will be their future home.
Our best wishes follow them.
Last Wednesday night at the
firemen's meeting Mr. Geo. Her-
der was elected chief to fill the
place of Mr. A. F. Rose, who re-
signed at a previous meeting. Mr.
Henry Brasher was elected assis-
tant chief and Mr. Gus Ripper was
elected foreman of fire company
Nq. 2, which was vacated by Mr.
Herder when he was elected chief.
The excursion to Elliger came
through at 8:30 with a very good
crowd from Schulenburg and Fla-
tonia.
Mr. H. W. Chinn, who has for a
week or more been ,in Gralveston
working under Adjutant General
Scurry, has returned. As soon as
he arrived General Scurry placed
him in charge of a body of men
and they at once commenced the
work of clearing up the wreckage.
We regret to learn that his neice,
Miss Thyra Olfson, who was ser-
iously injured in the storm, died
Wednesday morning. Mr. Chinn
claims that the death list in the
City alone will be between 8,000
and 9,000. He says the average
number of bodies recovered Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday
were 106 each day.
Th9 citizens of Weimar are re-
quested to attend a meeting in the
opera house Saturday night for the
purpose of forming a Bryan-Bur-
gess club.
The farmers of this section are
awakening to the fact that the
home oil mill is the place to pat-
ronize for their mutual protection.

of age and nothing was found on
his person by which he could be
identified.

The readers os this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the med-
ical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa-
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in its cura-
tivo powers that they offer One
Huudred Dollars for any oase that
it fails to cure. Send for list of
