The Church of the Conception is

were checked from entrance. Lighter
shocks during the day and early

While many of the dwellings in
Horta are still standing, most of
them are not habitable because of
wreckage to the interiors and the
weakened walls which caused the
officials to caution all not to re
enter their homes without precau

fallen walls and upheaved pavement
which adds to the difficulty of com

also suffered.
Persons aboard steamers in the

Career in State
Joe Worrall, SO, Back in State;
Worked for J. Sterling
Morton.
Falls City, Neb., Sept. 1. Past
eighty years of age, Joe Worrall, who
has been in Falls City for the; past
week, claims to be the dean of tour
ist printers. He commenced learn
ing the printer's trade in 1856 in
Nebraska City, in the office of the
paper of which the late J. Sterling
Morton was editor. He had come to
Nebraska eight years before that
however.
Joe Worrall came to Nebraska in
1857. In 1861 he carried mail on
horseback from . Nebraska City to
Marysville, Kansas, making the round
trip in six days. In doing this work
he passed through the Otoe Indian
Reservation.
During the two years of 1862 and
1863, Mr. Worrall made four trips
across the plains to Denver and Fort
Larimie, driving five yoke of oxen.
The wagon train of twenty-four
vehicles passed through Scottsbluff,
whose population in 1862 consisted
of a French man and woman only
Mr. Worrall said yesterday that fifty-
eight years afterward he went back
and found the whole country settled,
and Scottsbluff developed into a mag
nificant town.
Mr. Worrall's life has been full
of adventure. In 1864 he came down
the little Blue just before the In
dian massacre. He was in Cheyenne..
Wyoming in 1867, when the Union
Pacific had not yet graded in at that
place. In 1876 he saw Wild Bill,
just before that celebrity went to
Denver, where he was killed by Jack
McCall. a gambler.
The first paper published in Te
cumseh, the Nebraska Gazette, was
managed by Mr. Worrall, who ran it
in 1866. In 1869 Mr. Worrall pub
lished a paper caller The Union at
Sidney, la. The next paper under his
proprietorship was the Little Blue,
published in 1870 at Jenkins Mill
The samo year Mr. Worrall moved to
Hebron, and that year the legislature
divided the county. He lived in both
counties, being in the entire couu
ty at first, and later in the western
part, which was called Thayer coun
ty, in honor of the man who was
then governor. He organized the
Chronicle Printing Co., and ran The
Glade at Byron, at a later date. In
1SJ4 he managed The Telegram at
Sidney, Iowa.

Disease Plague
Sweeps Gulf in
Hurricane's Path
Isolated Natives Forced to Drink
Swamp Water; Sixty Cases of
Typhoid Fever Reported.
New Orleans, Sept. 2. Disease,
treading in the wake of the tropical
hurricane which swept in from the
Gulf of Mexico last week, already has
brought fever to more than three score
storm victims, reports reaching New
Orleans Wednesday said.
Ten definite cases of typhoid at
Montegut and nearly 50 cases of un
determined fever were reported by
Father Joseph M. Coulombe, priest of
the Sacred Heart church there and
Clarence Frazier, Indian guide, who
came to New Orleans seeking aid for
storm sufferers.
Father Coulombe said that 100
families in that district were cut off
from their regular water supply and
drinking water was carried in bottlea
afmsn th mnrioa tTa said the air
was filled with the stench of fish kill
ed by the storm.
Bayous over which most travel into
the section is conducted in normal
times are blocked by smashed sea
grass and debris and dynamite has
failed to clear the routes for boats.
Such water as is available for
drinking purposes, the priest said,
was swamp water, and with the clog
ging of the bayous, typhoid has
broken out and food is so scare, that
persons were forced to subsist on
crabs and fish taken from bayous.
Democrats Offer
Real Farm Relief
in State Meeting
Platform Calls for Readjustment of
the Tariffs to Give the Grow
ers a Fair Deal.
DEPARTMENT UNDER FIRE
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3. With the
various criminal actions against W.
D. Manley and four other officials
of the defunct Bankers' Trust com
pany at a standstill, the Fulton coun
ty grand jury turned its guns on the
state banking department today.
Making a lengthy special present
ment to the Fulton .superior court,
the jury urged Governor Walker ire
move T. R. Bennett, as state super
intendent of banks. The jury charg
ed that the suferfntendent had been
negligent ani derelict in his duty
ad that the banks and various units
of the chain of small banks con
nected with the Bankers Trust com
pany had not betn' properly supervised.
Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 2. Ne
braska democrats today adopted a
platform which calls for real relief
for the farmer.
It declares that the present pros
tate condition of agriculture is due
to the fact that the Coolidge admin
istration "has repudiated the prin
ciples of Thomas Jefferson."
The platform on national issues
calls for repeal of the Esch-Cummins
law and "readjustment of present
tariff schedules to place the people
residing in the farming states on
better terms of equality with the peo
ple in the industrial states."
It couples condemnation of repub
lican slush funds and expenditures
and indorsement of the inland water
ways program with a strong demand
for lower freight rates. Records of
strongly endorsed and voters are
the three democratic congressmen are
urged to elect more democrats from
Nebraska to congress.
AdoDted Unanimously.
The resolutions were adopted
unanimously without debate by an
enthusiastic vote of five hundred
delegates representing 61 counties
that held a four-hours session in
Lieder Krantz hall. Neither prohi
bition nor religious issues proved a
disturbing factor at this time in com
mittee or in convention. The Omaha
delegation was able to tone down
the language of the plank regarding
municipal ownership, and when they
left for home this evening members
declared they felt the outcome was
all that could be expected.
The convention gave whole-heart-er
approval of the administration of
former Governor Charles W. Bryan.
The platform on state issues stresses
tax reduction, code law repeal and
enactment of a law "to give all
towns and cities in the state the
same rights that Lincoln and Oma
ha now enjoy, to establish, when
necessary to protect their citizens
municiDal oil stations and coal
yards."
To Stop Monopoly.
While the convention voted that
"we are not in favor of unneeessar
ily engaging in business in competi
tion with legitimate business," it
decreed that "the state should have
a right and should exercise it when
necessary to stop monopolies in the
necessities of life."
The convention adopted a resolu
tion honoring the work of William
Jennings Bryan and also of W. II.
Dech in Saunders county and John
Miller of Buffalo county, democrats
who died in the past year.
Congressman A. C. Shallenberger,
convention chairman, sounded the
keynote as he urged democratic effi
ciency and economy in state and na
tion with repeal of the Fordney- Mc-
Cumber tariff and Esch-Cummins
laws.
Arthur F. Mullen, democratic na
tional committteeman, added momen
tum to the sentiment when he point
ed out the immense sums that tariff-protected
industries and the rail
roads are filching from the puoltc.
He besought the democrats of Ne
braska to declare against the "power
of greed and avarice on govern
mental authority to pillage the pock
ets of the people."
"Dcn't Forget Issues."
"Some people would have you de
clare wet or dry," Mullen said, "in
order to have you overlook the fact
that privilege robs wets as well as
drys. They would have you divided
over religious prejudice to blind you
to the fact that these plunderers rob
klan and antiklan alike.
"Why are these prejudices brought
out? To divert attention. Nhile
these powerful influences are tickling
your toes they are pulling your
teeth.
"We are in earnest. We have a
good ticket from governor down. It
never would do to elect Governor
Bryan and tie hi3 hands at the capi
tol with a republican legislature.
Give him a democratic senate and
house. It is not manicuring that we
need in Nebraska. We need a major
operation. Elect not only a demo
cratic legislature, but all democratic
state officers."
The delegates cheered the national
committeeman for his words.
Mr. Bryan in his address of an
hour, during which he was often ap
plauded, called attention to the sav
ing his administration had effected
in several of the larger counties. lie
claimed his policy of state competi
tion had greatly reduced the price
of gasoline and coal. He condemned
employment of a host of men and
women by the state, asserting that
the public wants actual savings. He
brought a big laugh when he said
"during my administration I required
investigations to be made before ar
rests and prosecutions. The present
policy seems to be shoot the peo
ple first and let the coroner Inves
tigate." Raps $1,500,000 "Steal."
Speeches were made by Mayor
Dahlman of Omaha; Dr. Jennie Call
fas, national committee woman; Frank
Dutton of Beatrice, candidate for
lieutenant governor; Mrs. A. A.
Bj-ooke of Hastings and Congress
man Edgar Howard, who was chair
man of the committee on resolutions.
The platform otherwise condemns the

It declares for protection of the

republican misuse of powers on the
railway commission, and urced elec

body.
The party pledges 25 per cent re

of every duplication and overlapping
of the state's activities and removal
from office of every junnecessary em
ploye now imposed upon the people
and abolition of the largely increased
salaries by the present republican
