DEATH LIST IS GROWING FAST Yictims of Itali~n Storm Number Four Hundred. EMMANUEL AT NAPLES King Arrives Unannounced and Will Visit the Devastated Region for a Personal Inspection—Growing Crops Completely Destroyed and All Live Stock Killed—Food and Shelter for Homeless Most Serious Problem. Naples, Oct. 27.—The death list as the result of the combined cloudburst, torrential rain, minor eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the tidal wave in the Mediterranean increases as the reports of the rescuers come in. The minister of marine has sent a message to the king saying that the number of dead is likely to exceed 400. The loss to the country is incal- culable and all growing crops are completely destroyed and live stock killed in the affected region. Many of the injured suffered for hours in the open under the fierce rainfall or were caught under the de- bris of their wrecked homes. It was not until the warships reached the dsland of Ischia and landed sailors that the work of rescue there was sys- tematized. Doctors were sent from Naples and the entire work of relief ds now under the supervision of the minister of marine. Besides the damage done on the island nearly every town in the prov- inces of Naples and Salerno was more or less seriously damaged. The sea off the coast of Salerno is covered with wreckage, consisting of ruined houses, broken furniture, timber, trees and the carcasses of animals. Men, women and children trying to escape from the slopes of Mount Vesu- vius were overtaken and engulfed by the flowing mud. Many Bodies Buried in Mud. The mud in the valleys is more than twenty feet deep and it is feared there are many bodies buried in it. The bulk of the inhabitants are so unnerved by the disaster that they sit listlessly about weeping and wailing and refusing to do anything to help themselves. The only work that is being done is by the soldiers and sail- ors. Thousands are homeless and the most serious problem now is to pro- vide these with shelter, food and wa- ter. The movement of supplies is difficult, roads having been washed out. Most of the towns requiring aid can be approached from the sea. King Victor Emmanuel arrived here unannounced. His coming was not wholly unexpected, however. He was accompanied by his first aide, General Brusati; Admiral Garelli and Count Mattiolo-Pasqualini, minister of the royal household. Admiral Leonardi, minister of ma- rine, had a narrow escape from death on the island of Ischia. In attempt- ing to get a close view of the effect of the eruption from Mount Epomea he approached too close to the bed of the volcanic stream and sank to his waist in mud. His plight was discov- ered by soldiers, who rescued him. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has become famous for its cures of coughs, colds, croup and influenza. Try it when in need. It contains no harmful substance and always gives prompt relief. Sold by Barker Drug Co. WOLF CARRIES OFF CHILD Drops Baby After Going Two Hundred Yards. Marshfield, Wis., Oct. 27.—A large wolf is reported to have entered the farmyard of Herman Bilgrien, two miles north of this city, picked up the infant son of the farmer and started with the child for the woods. The mother came to the door just as the animal seized the child and her screams att-acted the attention of her five-year-old girl, who ran screaming after the animal, frightening it into dropping the baby. The child was carried about 20C yards, but the wolf’s teeth barely scratched it. Noted Confederate Dead. New York, Oct. 27.—News of the death of Hugo Richards Garden, or- ganizer and captain of the famous Con- federate Palmetto battery, has reached here from Southport, N. C. Death was caused by apoplexy. Mr. Garden was seventy years old and was born at Columbia, S. C. He was a lawyer in New York for twentv-five vears.

Rochester, Minn., Oct. 27.—Senator and Mrs. Robert La Follette left Rochester for Madison, Wis:, their home, the senator having completely recovered from his recent operation for the removal of gallstones and con- fident that his trouble of some years past has been entirely removed. The senator will continue a period of rest and quiet for another month, or prac- tically until he returns to Washington. When asked by a friend as to condi- tions in Wisconsin he said: “I know little of political situations anywhere, those matters having been kept from me for some time.” Your cough annoys you.

SEVENTY DIE IN WRECK GF SHI? Haytien Gunboat Blown Up by Explosion.
