ATLANTIC CITY WAS HIT HARD Philadelphia Also Suffers—Great I Property Damage and Some Loss of Life. New York. Sept. 16. —1 p. m. —A fur ious hurricane struck this city at 11 this morning. Houses in the suburbs were greatly damaged and there was much minor destruction to trees, signs, and windows. Wire communi cation with the outside world is al most entirely suspended. All busi ness is at a standstill. It is the worst storm that has visited this city for years. There is intense darkness and the street lights are all on. The gov ernment yacht Sylph with President Rcosevelt and party aboard, which was expected at Ellis island at noon was not reported up to 1 o'clock. It is believed it has sought some haven in the Sound where it will remain un til the hurricane abates. There is a heavy sea and all crafts have fled for shelter. The wind is blowing 60 miles an hour. There are fears for the south Jersey coast, where the weath er bureau says the storm is the worst but all communication by wire and rail is cut off there since the storm started. At 1:11 the president arrived at the Brooklyn navy yard. He had given up the trip to Ellis island be cauuse of the storm. The Sylph for a time was in grave danger. It ex perienced heavy seas off Fort Schuy ler. All the party were driven below by heavy seas. As the. vessel entered Hell Gate the president came on deck and watched the rescue of four men from a sunken tug. At Twenty-third street a government tug which had been waiting for the Sylph signalled not to attempt to make the battery, as the sea was too rough. Consider able persuasion was ne.cessarv to in duce the president to abandon his plan. The Sylph was anchored to walls about the bay where she was visited by Admiral Rogers. The storm is abating. The president insisted that his trip to Elli's island was set for 2 o'clock and the Sylph started. At the quarantine station there was a 75-mile wind. There is a steamer in distress in the Sound between Black wells and Ward's islands and un doubtedly many are wrecked along the New Jersey and Long island coast. At 1:30 the wind suddenly died away and the rain ceased. The storm this afternoon seems centered on the New England coast. All wires in that direction failed at 2:30 indicating great severity.

Under circumstances the most aus picious in its long history Whitman college was opened by convocation ex ercises last evening and chapel ibis morning. The cha el was crowded :o the doors last night ami this morning i a very large atendance honored the j iirst chapel exercises of the year. The program was opened last night by a piano solo by Professor Love well rendered in his usual faultless style. Rev. Lamb read scripture and Re\. Austin Rice offered prayer. Thomas J. Pennell, the new head of the vocal department of Whitman conservatory, made his first appear ance before a Walla Walla audience in a vocal solo. On the strength of the numerous flattering reports of his singing Mr. Pennell was warmly received when he appeared and his singing last night amply justified everything that has been said of hi'm. He is the complete master of one of those brilliant baritone voices of which an audience never tires and promises to be a great favorite. He was liberally encored. Another prospective favorite is Miss Giace Jones, the new assistant in the piano department.

Kanna has been employed by the county commission ers to assist his brother, R. M. Hanna, prosecuting attorney of Whitman county, in the prosecution of the case against J. E. Brown, charged with assault with intent to commit murder for the shooting of J. T. Turnbow, at Garfield, August 9. Whitman county hag no deputy prosecuting attorney. The attorneys for Brown are H. W. Canfield, R. L. McCroskey and J. T. Brown. The case will not be tried until October or November. Brown is in jail, having failed to give bonds for $10,000. to their health we would have more happy wives* mothers and daughters, and if they would use more intel ligence in the matter of medi cines, observing results, they would find that the doctors' prescriptions do not perform the many cures they are given credit fcr. "In consulting wita my druggist he advised McElree's __ Wine of Cardui and Thed ford's Black-Draught, and so I took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with restored health, and it only took three months to cure me." You may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder, if you take "Wine of Cardui as she took 'it. Thedford's _ Black- Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and bowel regulator -which assists greatly in effecting a cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and cure is simple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer. Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine of Cardui and has health. The same medicines are offered you to-day. A million suffering women have found relief in Wine of Cardni. THE EVENING STATESMAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1903 BARBER JAILED FDD 111$ DEISTS His Attorney Claims That Imprison- ment cf his Client Is Un- constitutional. Spokane.—That the criminal laws may be used for the collection of a civil debt was never more forcibly illustrated than in Judge Hinkle's court, when William Drevire, a bar ber, was forced to pay a $5 board bill ontracted a year ago last June, and then forced to go to jail to serve out the costs of the criminal prosecution .vhich was instituted in order to col lect the debt which he owed. Drevire was arrested two days ago jn complaint of Mary Work and Ella Sloman, landladies of the Vendome odgi'ng house, who accused him of defrauding them out of $5 in June, 1902, by leaving his bill unpaid and by moving his baggage out of the house without their knowledge. The arrest was made under the state stat ute, which makes it a misdemeanor o defraud a boarding or lodging house keeper. The facts were prac tically undisputed' that Drevire had iumped his bill. He left the town and returned only a few days ago. Hinkle Makes Him Pay. Judge Hinkle rendered his decision in short order. "I'll fine you $10 and costs," he »aid f "and will remit the $10 if you will pay the women the $5 you owe them.' "Five dollars is the only money I have in the world, judge," declared Dervire. "but I'll pay it to the ladies.' and he dug up a bill, and handed it over to Miss Sloman, who pocketed it without even saying "thank you." Judge Hinkle declined to remit the "osts in the case, and as a result Dre vi're will have to go the county jail to serve cut $3.35 costs. Believes Law invalid. Many lawyers believe that the board ing house law. or at leas;; the purpose for which it is often used, is uncon stitutional. They take the position that its enforcement practically amounts to imprisonment for debt, ■specially in cases where there was :io intention to defraud but a mere inability to pay. It has been the un varying history of such cases in the local courts that where the victim, after being arrested "digs up" the amount of the debt, prosecuti'on ends. Lawyers contend that such a proceed ing is in violation of the spirit of the constitution. The trouble always Is, however, that the victim has not enough money to carry his case to the supreme court. Drevire had no lawyer yesterday. COLORED CHURCH WORKERS. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 15. —The nineteenth conference of church workers of the Episcopal church among colored people was opened in St. Luke's church this city today with welcoming addresses by Bishop Brew ster of Connecticut and Mayor Stud ley of New Haven, followed by a ser mon by Archdeacon Pollard of North Carolina. The sessions of the conference are to continue until Friday.

Howe of Wilmington, N. C.; "Radical, Yet Expedient Are the Three Necessities —Missionary Juris dictions, Episcopate Support, and Money," Rev. F. M. Doty of Charles town, \Y. Ya., and Rev. O. M. Waller of Washington, D. C. Wounds May Prove Fatal. St. Helens. Ore.—Charles Webber, aged 25, of Yankton, four miles west of St. Helens, has been taken to a Portland hospital and lies in a criti cal condition, as the result of a knife wound made by Oliver Smith, aged about 20. There is a deep cut in Webber's abdomen, and one of his legs is badlv slashed, and his recovery is considered doubtful. Webber and Smith are neighbor* and, with others, had been in St. Hel ens yesterday. There was a quarrel or slight misunderstanding at the Yankton postoffice, they met late Sunday afternoon. Webber grab bed hold of Smith and started to push him away, when the latter began slashing with his knife. Smith has a knife cut on his leg which he says Webber gave him. but it is believed that he accidentally cut himself. All the persons involved have good repu tations. Webber has a wife and child ren. and Smith is a son of A. A. Smith, a well-known farmer and log ger. Smith had been drinking consid erably in St. Helens. He is under ar rest and will have a preliminary hearing on the arrival of District At torney AJlen from Astoria. "Did you have a good ti'me fishing?" "Oh, fair, fair." replied the -candid man. "but we had a better time lying about when we got back." PLATFORM OF 1876 Has Right Ring* for Campaign of 1004 SAYS A\ IM'IAYA DEMOfitAT He Thinks a Counterpart of Samuel J. Tilden Can Be Found as a Candidate. New York. —Capt. William R. My ers. one of the leading democrats of Indiana and who has held high state offices during many years, has the fol lowing article in the Indianapolis Sentinel: "What policy should the democratic party pursue in 1904 as to candidates and platform. "First, we should cultivate brother ly love and cease quarreling, back biting and backcapping every man that is mentioned as a possible or probable candidate for the presidency. "Let us cease ous bickerings about the recent past and try to get in touch with the living now. "As to the platform, that of 1576 brought up to date would suit me. and I believe it is possible for us to and a counterpart of Samuel J. Tilden for our candidate. The wisdom of our platform in 1896 on the money question lias been verified. We de manded unlimited coinage of silver on the constitutional basis of 16 to 1. The marvelous production of gold since then has made obsolete that de mand. and for us to re-thresh thai old straw would be idiotic. As long as he money supply remains as it is now and has been for the past four years it would be worse than useless for any Daily to make the money question an issue. Trusts Outraging the Country.

Chehaiis, Wash.—The news of the lulling of the partly decomposed body of James H. Wilkinson, a well- Known rancher, on his farm on the south fork of the Newaukum river, 10 miles southeast of Chehaiis, has created a startling sensation at this place. Apparently the rancher was murdered in his lonely cabin about a month ago. Mat Balfour, a neigh bor, and C. H. Roe, of Toledo, were passing Wilkinson's cabin and stop ped to look in. As they neared the house a sickening smell greeted them. On investigation they could ee Wilkinson's body lying on the floor. Word was at once brought to Chehaiis and Coroner Myer, of Winlock, noti fied. The body lay on the cabin floor near the door of the cabin. The head was resting on a saddle. Both arms were crossed as if placed in that position by the murderer. By Wilkinson's side was his 25-caliber rifle, which had been shoved up un der the left armpit. It contained an empty shell. The body showed no gunshot wounds and the murderer evidently figured that the discoverers of the body would conclude Wilkin son had committed suicide. An examination of the skull sfhowed conclusively how the man had met his death. The scalp was removed and squarely in the top of the skull was found a hole where it, had been crushed by a heavy blow. On the left arm was found evidences of where a blow had been struck also, appar ently while Wtflkinson was warding off his assailant. Search of the premises revealed a three-pouitd Icrig hammer in the woodshed adjoinii the house. On this was found enough of the dead man's hair to prove that with it some ~>ne had killed Wilkinson. The front !oor of the cabin was locked, but the back door was not. The body was partially dressed, the man having on his trousers and shirt. It is thought the murderer went to the cabin in the evening about the time Wilkin son was preparing to retire, or else awakene:! him, and that he partially dressed himself before admitting the assailant. A small sum of money was found and the man's watch was undisturbed, showing the motive must have been revenge. Wilkinson was last seen four weeks ago. He was in the habit of going to his ranch, where he lived as a bach elor, and staying a while, then going out to Centralia. Hanaford, Chehaiis or other places and working or visit ing with friends. He was a quick tempered man. and it is said he had one or two bitter enemies who might have concluded to get him out of the way. He was 52 years old and had lived up Newaukum about 16 years. Mrs. Sarah A. Gibson, of Centralia, and Mrs. Eliza Crowder, of Bueoda, are sisters r f the murdered man. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict that the man was murdered. HITCH IN CAPITOL BUILDING. Governor Calls Speciaj Meeting of Commission Regarding Ille gal Contract. Olympia.—Governor Mcßride has called a special meeting of the State Capitol commission for next Saturday afternoon, to take action in regard to an opinion handed down today by At torney General Stratton. The opinion declares that the re cent contract entered into between the state and the electrical firm of Ki'lbourne-Clark company is illegal. At the meeting of the commission a contract was awarded this company for installing an electric power plant and combination gas and electric fixtures in the annex to the state capitol at a contract price of $10,500. Competing firms contested the award on this contract on the ground HOW'S THIS? We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

It is rumored that two of the county commissioners have decided to aban don the proposed building of a costly county poor house, owing to the al most unanimous public sentiment against the proposition. It is to oc hoped that this report is true. As for the political bearing of the poor house project, it would unques tionably be better for the democrats in this county if tlie republican board of commissioners would go ahead with the wa.-te of the public funds in the building of a poor house at a cost, of probably not less than twenty thou sar. 1 tioihvs. as the extra tax of two or three mills resulting would cnr.se>. a r. in ihe v. übkean ranks that would uiv.- the opposition most of the cutiiity officc s. However, the States man has placed the good of the public above the stir-eess of its party and has deinen.-1 r.. d 1e folly of the poor hiii!.-. i>- a so conclasivoly that even the republican machine leaders and til. iehine or .ai; have joined in urging the commissioners to abandon the project beeause it would endang er their party's supremacy in this county next year. PAVING BI'SINESS STREETS. If ho owners of business property n AMor street would pave that thriv intr thoroughfare bt tween Palouse and Fifth they wou'd soon make it the prim ipal business street of the ity and enhance th value of their pre; 'y one hundred per cent. By being to pave. Second avenue in Seattle forged ahead of First avenue and th- latter will never regain the ground it lost hy delay in paving. It is nut creditable to Walla Walla that there is not a single block of pavement in the city. Even Colfax with one-third of the population has t early a mile of pavement and North Yakima with half the population of "Waila Walla has also made a good stat. at paving her streets, Otto Weilo, the 'Xpert hydraulic en i;iniiniu Spokfti.e engaged by the council to investigate the sources otj sir :>'y fur a cavity wafr system.! n'alit' a report after a cursory in-j v.

Wt ii may bo a wizard who can find water by the Us>? polls and never»f alters in devotion .c his "boss." He is out beti'mes when there is work to do. having left his conscience in the garret or cellar, and hustles from the first whisper of a campaign until the last election re turns are computed. He "delivers the goods;" and that would be i'mpos sible if he and his band were dor mant. The churchgoer, "the head of the family," the business man and the up right citizen generally lack the enthu siasm displayed by the "tough." The I-auer has private interests at stake; politics is part of his business. The former puts all confidence in his neighbor, and. thinking his vote is not needed, goes to his office or his shop and lets the election machinery grind out a large vote for the "gang." Redemption follows every great re vival. but it is usually temporary only. The upright citizens then make wai, on the "tough" and make actual pro fession of faith at the polls. At the next election they neglect to confirm their former profession, and they find either the old gang or a new gang intrenched in office and the old methods again in full swing. The revival urged would be timely ind productive of good. The princi pal point, however, is that the good citizen should be impressed with his civic duty; that he should be taught to put public interest before personal convenience. Permanent good gov ernment will become a reality if the "head of the family" will ohvays be active at elections and show concern in public business. It is one thing to desire gootl government and an other thing to vote. Voting is the more effective. The county commissioners, the city council, the Commercial Club and the trustees of the Stubblefield estate are soon to get together to discuss the raising of ten thousand dollars to se cure the location of the widows' and orphans' home in Walla Walla, and the prospects are good for the adop tion of a plan that will soon settle the question satisfactorily. It would be a shame for this city »to lose the home through lack of enterprise, and it is gratifying to see that the public officials are inclined to manifest a liberal spirit in attaining the end so much desired by a majority of the .iecple, Robert Montgomery, who has won distinction as the brilliant editor of the Sumner Herald, has combined that paper with the Puyallup Inde •endem under the name of the Puy alllup Valley Tribune. Mr. Montgom ry has no superior as a newspaper writer in state and his new week ly gives promiv.' of being a leader o!' independent thought and opinion as well as being a model n vvgatherer. The Statesman wishes tbv n w ent-'i' prise unbounded success. Teachers Wanted in Stevens County. Colville. —Superintendent F. L Grinstead says there is a scarcity o: teachers for country districts.

Yesterday the glad tidings was con veyed to him in the shape of a letter from a lawyer in his native town, who has had the matter in charge, that due him would be paid by November 1. The matter of settling up the es tate has long been held in abeyance and seems to have been occasioned by relatives of Monte declining to ef fect a settlement until compelled to do so. The administrator of the es tate is a brother-in-law of Monte and lie has asked for an extension of time until November 1 in which to pay over the money. Another payment will be due early next year. "It looks as it' 1 am going to get what is cue me," Monte declared this morning, while showing friends the letter that he received yesterday. "That, brother-in-law of mine is mayor of my native town and has put off settling up the estate for a long time. Now I guess everything is settled and I will get my money." WARD GOODMAN NUPTIALS.

MERCHANTS SELECT THtIR SPACE From Now on Unti| Big Fair Opens> Week From Monday Building Will Be a Hive of Industry. The last of the canvas roof on uie fruit fair pavilion was stretched yes terday and tomorrow O. R. Ballou and a force of assistants will begin the decoration of the mammoth building. The completion of the roof was the signal for Walla Walla merchants to visit the building and make selections of space for booth purposes. Yesterday afternoon representatives of the Davis-Kaser company, the Drumheller company, Schwabacher company, the Walla Walla Produce company and the Northwestern Light ami Power company selected booth space and the work of erecting booths will be commenced in a day or so. Every one of the merchants aud busi'ness houses making their selec tions yesterday will have handsome displays. Mr. Anderson, manager of the Northwestern Light and Power company, has promised Secretary Van De Water an electrical booth botn magnificent and unique, excelling the display made by the- local company two years ago. Especial attention is being paid to the band stand thi's year and the man agement promises something much different from former years. The car penter work on the shell or bacK ground will be finished today so that decorators may begin work c:i it to morrow morning. The band stand will be located in the extreme west ern part of the building. WEEK COOL THROUGHOUT.! Showers Were of Almost Daily Occur rence in Some Parts of State and Quite Heavy in Some Instances. The week was cooj throughout, with a mean temperature of three or more degrees below- the average, says the government c; op and climate bulletin for the week ending September 14. On the mornings of the 9th and 10th it was almost cool enough for frost. Showers were of almost daily occur rence, and in some instances they were quite heavy. Altogether the rainfall was from one-half an inch to over an inch in different localities. The abundance of moisture was very beneficial to pastures and ranges and root crops and cabbage were greatly improved. It is thought that late potatoes will in some cases be in creased in size, as a result of the moisture. The ground has, as an ef fect of the abundant rainfall, been put in excellent condition for plowing and the seeding of fall wheat. Pre vious to the rains but little of such work had been done, but it will now go rapidly forward. Late apples will probably be larger on account of the rainfall. Harvesting and threshing were in terrupted by the bad weather, and completely stopped on the 11th. Good weather will enable these operations to be resumed on the 14th, and a few fine days would see harvesting fin ished in all localities. Wheat in the shocks in the eastern counties, and oats in the western counties, were quite badly wet by the storms, and the grain will be considerably dam iaged. Fortunately harvesting was more than three-fourths done. Considerable hop-picking was done in the earlier yards, especially of the Yakima country. It was much delay ed and interrupted, and finally stop ped by the rainy weather. The rain was injurious to the hops, adding to the injury already done by mold in a number of yards. In parts of the eastern counties high winds and hail damaged fruit and standing grain to some extent. Considerable late wild hay was spoil ed. The wet weather was had for plums and prunes, causing them tu crack and rot on the trees. Petrel Confiscates Fish Nets. Ashtabula. 0..

Denied That Cilery's Band Is Unionized. LOCAL UNION TAKES MATTER|I)P Telegraphed to Secretary Harbeck of Davenport Who Replies Mem bers Had Not Affiliated. Has Ellery's Royal Italian band been unionized or not? Secretari alay er of the organization, who is in Walla Walla perfecting arrangements for the band to fulfill its engagement at the fruit fair this month, asserts that it has been unionised, but the, statement is denied by Secretary Henry Harbeck of the musicians' un ion at Davenport, la., where the band is supposed to have joined the Am erican Federation of Musicians. Members of the local musicians' union yesterday telegraphed to Secre tary Harbeck upon Mr. Mayer's state ment that the band had become mem bers of the union five weeks ago at Davenport, asking if such was the case. The reply received this morn ing said that members of Ellery's band had not affiliated with the union. "All that I know of the matter was what Mr. Ellery himself wrote to me," Secretary Mayer said this morning when told of Secretary Harbeck's an swer. "He wrote that the band had become members of the Davenport, la., union of mnsi'cians five weeks ago. I have taken the matter up with him at Denver and expect a reply by tele graph this afternoon."
