Victims Of the Flood.

The greatest catastrophe recorded in
our history, arising from floods is that
occasioned by the bursting of reser'
voir above Johnstown. Pa. A body Of
water mile wide and two miles long
pent in by dam one hundred feet high
rushed upon the town, crushing build
ings and drowning people BY the thous'
and. The latest reports of the disaster
give the number of drowned at 5000.
The people were notified to flee but
similar reports having come to them
frequently in the past, they were not
needed.
The great Cambria Iron Company's
works are located at Johnstown: the
estimate put upon their loss is $4,000,
600. The Potomac rose to an unpre-
cedented height, carrying away the Cum
berland Valley railroad bridge and do
ing immense damage at Williamsport
and Harpers Ferry. "Jackson's," the
home of the we'll known boss fisherman,
situated Just below the Indian Church
Rock, on the north side Of the river
was carried down the river collided
with the island at Williamsport and
went to pieces. 1t is believed that the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal will be
found to be damaged beyond repair.
Washington City was flooded, the
water coming up to Pennsylvania Av-
enue at 9th street.
The B. g. P. railroad depot at 9Th st.
had eighteen inches of water on its
floor.
So far as known the Monocacy river
is spanned by but one bridge, the heavy
stone bridge on the Frederick and Bal
timore turngike.
The loss caused by the breaking of
the Johnstown reservoir is estimated ut
from $25, 100000 to $4OO,OO0,0O0.
Two spans of the Long Bridge at
Washington were carried away.
Only one span of the Loudon bridge
across the Potomac is standing.
Harpers Ferry was from 10 to 90 feet
under water and the town is a pitiable
wreck.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi.
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agen.
cy whereby the good health has been
attained is gratefully blessed. Hence
it is that so much is heard in praise of
Electric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health, to the
use of the Great Alte rative and Tonic.
Ii you are troubled with any disease of
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach. Of long or
short standing you will surely find re-
lief by use Of Electric Bitters. Sold at

WASHINGTON, JUNE 3rd, 1899.
The awful deluge in Pennsylvania
awakened universal sympathy here and
the Morning Post has already begun to
receive subscriptions for the relief of
the sufferers at Johnstown. General
Scofeld, acting Secretary of War is by
direction of the President already con.
sidering means of relief and by tomor-
row some plan will be submitted by
which the National Treasury may fur
nish succor. The President sent tele.
gram of sympathy Saturday, and re-
quested the Mayor Of Johnstown to
make sight draft on him for his sub
scription.
The local inundation has reached a
higher point than ever attained during
the food of 1881, which was a mid
winter disaster. The loss to the Gov
eminent and to corporations and pri'
vate individuals is very great. The loss
of life fortunately will not reach half a
dozen IN this vicinity. Pennsylvania

Hyde, grain buyers, went to Lanesboro
to-day TO look into the financial affairs
OF the LaneSboro Mill company. It
seems affairs there are of an unusual
and complicated nature. Hodges IL
Hyde have been supplying the mill
with wheat, but it has been consigned
or billed to the Bank of Lanesboro to
be furnished to the mill. as it was paid
for. All business was done by the bank,
and Hodges d Hyde had no cor
respondence as to finances with the
mill company. Charles Reynolds, the
railroad agent, has allowed the wheat
to be delivered at the mill without
orders from the bank until now. There
IS shortage of $1,000, and there are
claims for five ears from Albert Lea,
and also some others. amounting to
$4,000 in all. The bank is said to be
protected by mortgage on the property.
What motive the railroad agent had is
unknown, and he left town last night,
saying he was going to see his brother,
b. q. Reynolds. lawyer at Winnibago
City The charitable view is that the
miller looked for $40 flour as predicted
by Pillsbury. and had big stock ahead
to make stake. The mill has been
running all winter, but whether the
flour Is sold or stored East is not yet
known. Lawyers say there is yet room

The table linen shown this season is
mostly white, or, if colored, the center
of the cioth and napkins are white, with
only the the fringes and not very wide
band near the edge of some delicate
pale color. A much more popular way
of getting color upon the table is to lay
a scarf down the center about two feet
wide. embroidered in some bold out
lined design of color. There is a
cheaper method also. for skilled needle
women can make half dozen Of these

ton tone of tinted luncheons,
which can be varied at will.
The prettiest OF these designs are con-
ventionaliZed patterns of arabeSques of
birds or plant forms, but some of them
show flights of swallows or butterflies.
OF else the whole scarf is embroidered
as ladder. up and down which winged
Cupids climb or drive themselves in
cookie chariotS by means of harneSsed
birds. There are sets of sheer cobweb-
like dOilies to go under the finger
bowls, embroidered to match the scarf.
At one pretty luncheon. recently, scarfS
and d0ilieS were embroidered with a
mass of blue foTget-me-notS; the real
blossoms formed the floral decorations.

RATED on the Minnesota side of the Mis-
siSsippi river, so that he could charge
more tolls for the work. IS untrue. In
the same dispatch it was stated that a
bill had been introduced i'll the legis-
lature cutting down the fees charged at
Beef Slough. and that Mr.. Weyerhauser
had teiegraphed Ibis agents to let the
bill pass" in order to make a further eX-
cuse for abandoning the Slough. There
was no such bill introduced in the legiS-
lature. The facts are. For two or three
years Beef Slough has been filling up,
and it has been determined to leave it
clear this season in the hope that free
channel Will clear it out. Last wear in
the high water several millions of logs
went by the Slough and out into the
Mississippi. in view of this. ample
bOoms have been placed on the Missis-
