Conditions in the stojrm zone
are clearing up and the work of
rehabilitation is now going on
Galveston shows a lower death
rate per capita than any other
place within the track of the
storm. This is no doubt due to
the protection afforded by the
great seawall.
So far as reported, here is a
list of
THE KNOWN DEAD.
Houston:
Edward W. Hans, crpshed un-
der stable, Kirby addition.
Willie Shields, negro, electro-
cuted on Mason street.

Seabrook:
A white man,
Unidentified.
35 years old.
While the boulevard along the
seawall is badly damaged in
places, the wall itself stood like
the rock of Gibralter and it will
be there when the next blow
comes.
' Galveston people need fresh
water, fresh meat and bread,
but otherwise there is no com-
plaint of suffering, and the peo-
ple of the city are now going
right along with their business.
IS NOT A PROHIBITION
A MEDICINE CHEST FOR 25c.
In this chest you have an ex-
cellent remedy for Toothache,
Bruises, Sprains, Stiff Neck,
tism and for most emergencies.
One 25c bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment does it all—this because
these ailments are symptoms,
not diseases, and are caused by
congestion and inflammation. If
you doubt, ask those who use
Sloan's Liniment, or better still,
buy a 25c bottle and prove it.
All Druggists.

Respectively,
J. R. Atkins,
County School Superintend-
ent.
Harven Bennett, Leon Bry-
ant, Nude Moore, Buddy Sterl-
ing and Geo. Stevens left Mon-
day afternoon on the south
bound Hustler on a surveying
expedition to be gone for several
S. F. Carroll, who left here
Wednesday night for Galveston
in search of his little son, Floyd,
who had gone to Galveston on
the Saturday excursion and was
in the city during the big hur-
ricane, returned Saturday morn-
ing with the boy, who does not
look any the worse for his ex-
perience.
Sidney arrived in Houston
Thursday morning but did not
get further south until Friday
morning, when a train went out
over the G. H. & H. as far as La
Marque, and of course Sidney
was on that train. At La Mar-
que he, with several others,
caught a Ford into Texas City
and there he caught a boat into
Galveston and found his son
high and dry at Jules Vern's
boarding house playing domi-
noes. Of course he lost no time
getting back to the dock and out
on the next boat, only remaining
in Galveston a little more than
one hour.
When asked about conditions
in the storm swept city Sidney
declared that he could not teli
anything about how anything
looked, except that the streets
he traveled from the docks to
his boy were strewn with rub-
bish. Said he was not on a sight
seeing trip at all, and could not,
to save his life, tell to what ex-
tent the city was damaged.
Floyd, it seems, paid consid-
erable attention to what trans-
pired. He with Jules Vera, went
to the Cotton Exchange, where
Herman Nussbaum was attend-
ing some business, and when the
storm opened up for keeps they
could not get out of the build-
ing, and remained there until
next morning. This is one of
the best buildings in Galveston
and it is lucky they were caught
in it. The first floor of this
building is some five or six feet
higher than the street and the
water was about five feet deep
in the first floor, making it about
ten feet deep in the street at
that point, corner of 22nd street
and Ave C, which is only three
blocks from the bay front.
Floyd says Jules Vera and
Herman Nussbaum were both
scared, and we don't blame
them, and Jules says he is com-
ing back to Mexia as soon as he
can get his grip packed.
We are all glad to see Floyd
back, and Mr. and Mrs. Carroll's
friends here will rejoice .with
them in the safety of their son,
returned, as it were, from the
jaws of death.

success, and it will do the same for you.
