THE kewannee Enterprise has aban-
doned the 'long credit system" and an
nounces that all subscribers who do not
pay at or before the expiration of the
subscription year viii have their papers
stopped. 1t would be a commendable
''new departure" for all the papers in the
state to adopt his system. 1t is certainly
time that negligent subscribers should be
brought to a realization of their duties
to newspapers. Editors themselves are
to great extent responsible for the want
OF promptitude in their subscribers and
and the basis on which the Enterprise is
to proceed in the future will we doubt
not be productive of good results.

Some Conspicuous Failures.

These who acquire wealth illegally gener
ally die poor. Jim Fisk was vulgar and
ostentatious: he built opera houses, patron
lied regiments established steamboat lines,
and robbed railroads, and Haunted his money
with the air of parvenu prince, but when
be was slain by the hand of his own vices he
left little even for his pampersd paramours.
Tweed garroted a city and laid his hand on
the throat OF state; he plundered right and
left, like highwayman, aud stole so many
millions that million more or less was OF
no consequence 10 him; but Nemesis caught
him at last, and killed him, and when he
died it was found that he had been robbed of
most of the money he had stolen from
others. He left TO his family little but a
name-a name of leprous infemy So
Morrissey, prize fighter and gambler, has
died, leaving little but record OF disgrace.
He made 500. 600 in a single night at the
gaming table; but men who thus acquire
money by an irregular robbery are reckless
in It's disbursement. They throw away
money that cost them nothing. The road
of steady labor and honest getting is the road
to happiness.

agony. She held it high up, the little crow

Terrible stOrm-Part of Denver City
Washed Away-An Entire Freight
Train Goes Through n bridge.

CHEYENNE, May pa terrific rain fell
upon large areas Of Douglass and Elpsso
Counties rhis state, Yesterday afternoon. 1t
Is believed to have been most violent along
a spur of the Rocky mountains which sepa-
rates the head waters of the Arkansas and
Platte rivers. Cherry creek, which empties
into the Platte at Denver and which Is
ordinarily dry, was suddenly deluged at l
o'clock this forenoon, and in less than an
hour the entire western portion of the city
was flooded, seven bridges were swept away
and large amount of other property
destroyed. Owing to the efficiency
and industry of the fire department
the entire population OF the district
desolated was aroused and warned
in time to escape, and it is now believed that
no lives have been lost in the city beyond
that OF an unknown man, whose body was
found in a freight car, where he had probs
bly, been asleep. The flood involved several
other streams on either side of the divide,
and the Denver and RIO Grande railroad lost
a bridge near Colorado Springs, end has been
unable to run any trains on this end of the
road o-day. Three bridges have been swept
away on the Kansas Pacific railroad. A
freight train on ithe latter railroad contain
ing eighteen cars passed through the bridge
across the KiOwa, buTying with 1t John "A.
Baker, engineer; Frank Selden and John
Pratt firemen, whose bodies have not been
recovered. The debris and drift from Cherry
creek lodged against the Colorado Central
railroad bridge aStoss the Platte, and forced
out portion of its supports. This road also
sustained considerable damage on its Chey-
enne divisions. but it is believed that its
trains and those of the Denver and Rio

selves TO the expression Of their views con-

more than two hours at the Arlington hotel.
They discussed the political situation gener.
ally, declining TO declare that the present

thought would be sufficiently explicit TO
show the object of the investigation:
Resolved, That the action of the house of
representatives in appointing a committee
fully empowered to Investigate and report
upon the frauds alleged to have been commit
ted in the late presidential election to the
end that the truth may be maize known to the
people, and the repetition of such frauds be
of this committee.
The committee did not take any action on
the subject of address to the people

the congre ssional fall elections as follows:
Senator Barnum, chairman; Senator Ransom
of New York, Representative Ross, Of New

precious bubbling fluid, was raised and

ready, and the seething vessel was gradually

mass poured in. When half full the mold
cracked like a rifle shot, but the puring was

which boiled. Kissed and foamed over and

DUBUQUE, Ia. May % "A special 70 the
Herald from Mineral Point, Wisconsin, gives
the brief announcement that a terrible
tornado struck that town at about 5 O'Clock
this afternoon. Owing to a break in the
wires at Warren il has been impossible to
get the full particulars tonight. 1t is
known that a large stone brewery and
several buildings surrounding it were
demolished, and il is feared several bodies
will be found under the ruins. The build
ings adjacent to the brewery are John Mil
ler's house, the Globe MOTEL, First Ward
school house, milliner's store, Currie's har-
ness shop, the Wisconsin house, and Filing
er's furniture store. These buildings were
in the line Of the tornado, and are more or
less damaged. One Of them, the fine resi-
dence OF John s. Pinsley, in which
was large family reunion,
among whom were John Waller, wife and
