The sun loves to gaze upon her cuiti-

mountain tops, to mirror himself IN
her lakes and rivers, to linger over
fields and forests and to light them up
with supernal splendor. The old

The Truckee Republican of We'd

neSddy says.
For two Winters past there have
been no severe snow storms in the
Sierra Nevadas and the old inhabi-
tant has been mourning and pre-
dieting change of climate. and at
the same time was fond of relating
how the snow used to pile up
twenty or thirty feet deep and would
sneer at the tender foot because he
had never seen a regular old fash
ioned snowstorm.
The indications are that the old
man will soon change his demeanor,
will chuckle and laugh and say:
"This is something llke-reminds
me of the Winters Of 1903.
This is a good starter" he will re-
mark.
"When there are three or four
more storms like this and we will
have to run a tunnel across the
plaza, you fellows will know what
snow is
The present storm is peculiar
one. 1t seems TO be showing all
the time and yet the snow is not
deep on the ground. The snow
fall seems to be only on the summit
on the mountains. AT Summit sta
tion it is reported to be nine feet
deep but on each side the deoth
decreases very rapidly. On the
west at Cascade it is about five
feet. at Cisco four feet, at Emigrant
Gap one foot and at Blue Canyon
more. Onethe east side at Donner
Iake it is three feet, at ruckee two
feet, ar Boca eight inches and none
b, low Floriston. 1t has been
storming hard since Friday, but is
quite warm the temperature ranging
from 80 to 40 degrees. Much OF
the snow melted as it fell and at
times it rained. 1t is a damp snow,
and settles down SO that it contains
lots OF moisture.
The snow piows of the railroad
company have been running almost
constantly and have kept the track
clear without difficulty. There are
only about 80 miles to be kept open.
The new rotary plow-- has. had a
chance to demonstrate its useful
ness and has proved a success.
The space of mile and half at
Cascade is uncovered by sheds and
here the snowfall has been heavy.
The new shovel handles the snow
easily trimming six miles an hour
and throwing.the snow i'm a big
stream one hundred and fifty feet
from the track. Yesterday Supt.
Burckhalter, Chief Engineer Steven
sen and Master Mechanic Small,
came up and Inspected the...opcra-
ton of the rotary shovel. They had
but two faults to find, one that it is
too narrow by about-three inches,
defect easily remedied, and the
other is a lack of a turntable at Cas-
cade. In backing up the machine
considerable snow is pushed back
on the track, This defect can
be remedied another season. The
officials are, however, greatly
pleased and express the opinion
that the snow sheds can be abolish
ed in a few years. The only delay
of trains occurred this morning.
The flanger, the machine which
scrapes out the snow from inside
of the rails, did not do its work
properly and left snow on the rails,
Train 1 coming up struck this snow
and stuck. 1t was five hours late
in consequence.

SOCIAL DUTIES
Absorbing the Time Of the Samoan
Commissioners.
They Arc Kept Busy Attending Dinners
and Receptions-H How tho Nows-
paper Mon Are Working
the Mine.

BERLIN, June LIN addition to the hard
work which the American Commiss toner's
to the Samoan Conference lay out for
themselves each day, they are obliged to
give up considerable time to social duties
In the gay German Capital, and every
night when they are not entertaining
guests at their rooms at the Kaserhof,
they are sure to be at some Dime given
in their honor by some distinguished resi-
dent OF Berlin. During the past week
two notable dinners were given for
them--the first on Wednesday by
Sir Edward Malet the English EN-.
bassador, and the other on Friday night,
when Count Won Holstein, one of the Ger
man Secretaries of State, gave them a
banquet, which for menu, wines and char
acter of its guests is said never to have
been equaled in Berlin The wines were of
the rarest vintages, and, indeed, most of
them are unpurchasable now. Among he
guests were Count Waldersee (Von Molt-
ke's successor), Count Won Wedell, the
Emperor's Aid, Mr.. William Walter Phelps,
Mr. Kasson, Count Eulenterg and many
other representatives of political and So
cial rank. Count Won Holstein visited the
United States some thirty years ago and
was then so kindly received by friends Of
Mr.. Phelps that he has been most lavish in
his hospitality here to that gentleman and
his colleagues during their stay. The
American delegation occupied an entire
floor of the Kaiserhof Hotel. Each mem-
ber has his private bedroom and working
room adjoining, and in the center of the
suit is a large and handsomely furnished
room which during the day is used as
reception room for formal visitors, and in
the evening as q common dining room. The
work-room of each Commissioner Is
besieged day and night by newspaper men
representing London and American jour-
malls, but thus far their success in getting
news of the proceedings of the commis-
sion has been confined to what they have
been able to get in the form of indignant
denial from the German officials. Their
method has been to tconcoct some story
which, II true would be SO injurious to
German interests that the German COM
missioners have felt compelled to deny it,
and this denial generally forms the basis
Of voluminous dis patches.

A KANSAS TORNADO

Leaves Death and Ruin in Its Path-Many
Persons Killed and Mangled, and Much
Property Destroyed.
KANSAS CITY, May 20.-A Times special
from Emporia, Kas, reports that a disast
trous tornado passed over Clements Chase
County, thirty-two miles west of there,
yesterday. Captain Brown and his daughs
ter were killed, and his wife had aleg torn
off, and his son had an arm and leg bros
ken. 1t is reported that six or seven othep
persons were killed. John Pantle conduc-
tor Of a stock train, who arrived in Emf
poria at 0 o'clock tonight, says he passed
through Clements just after the storm, and
in plain sight of part of its destructive do
ings. The cloud looked square, shaped,
like house with its lower portion sur
rounded by a white cloud looking like
steam, which seemed to arise from all
around the main dark cloud. As 1t came
through the timber it cut clean swath
apparently destroy ing everything in its
path, and when it struck the Cottonwood
river it looked as if it was cutting path
through the river, piling up the water on
both sides. He saw Captain Browns stone
house totally demolished, another with
the roof and one side torn off and still an.
other lifted and carried from its founda-
tions.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-John d.
Spreckels, the president of the Oceanic
Steamship Company, states that New
South Wales has renewed its contract
with the company for one year to carry
the Australian mails which the Cana
dian Line of the steamship was
seeking to obtain. The Government of
Dew Zealand has not Joined in the
contract, owing to the failure Of the
United States to share In the expenses
equally, as heretofore, and the steamers
may not stop at Auckland in consequence,
but in the event that an arrangement can
be effected with the u. s. postal authori-
ties, will stop at Honolulu and at Apia,
and will also stop at Auckland provided a
satisfactory understanding is reached be-
tween New Zealand and the American
postal authorities.

NOTES ABOUT WEEDS.


The "cursed crowfoot' is stated to be
sometimes boiled and eaten as vegetable
by German peasants.
BURDocK has the honor of being looked on
by the Japanese as having an eatable root,
and is cultivated under the name ''gobo."
PrGwEED is exalted in that the seeds of
certain kinds are said to be gathered by the
Southern Indians and used for making into
bread.
ONE plant of ''pusley" has been known
by actual count to possess 1.250,000 seeds.
So states the botanist of the Department OF
Agriculture.
In the days OF chivalry the daisy was 80
esteemed as the emblem Of fidelity in love
as to be often borne by knights and ladies'
at tournaments.
The common millSweed is said TO be ma
tive OF the United States, although now
found growing as a weed in Europe. Chill
dren have found out use for this plant.
The sap of the millsweed has value In
childish eyes, inasmuch as said sap is be-
lieved TO be remedy for warts.
Or old, in the north of England, the weed
called dock was known as the "dockan."
1t, also, had its worth. Says Coles, in his
cart OF Simpling," quoted by Brand: Gan
kinds OF docks have this property that what
flesh or meat is sod Herewith, tho IL be
never so old, hard or tough, 1t will become
tender and meet 10 be eaten"

Or. Cronin,s Clothinn Found.

CHICAGO, June 1.-Dr. Cronin's clothing
has been found, and another link forged
in the chain of evidence that surrounds
the murder. The first clue was obtained
by the finding of the drawers by Sol Ham,
berger and Eddie Bresch, two little boys
of Lake View. Louis Hamberger, the
eighteen-year- brother of the first
named lad, then notified the police,
and conducting Lieutenant Schuet-
tier to the mouth of the Fifty ninth
street sewer, instituted search which re-
suited in the unearthing of the physicians
pants, coat and undershirt They were
buried over a foot under ground, and were
only discovered by probing in the sand
with sharp sticks. The shirt bore the
name of the unfortunate doctor, and the
other articles were readily recognized as
portions of his apparel. The pants in places
were deeply stained with blood.

PITTSBURGH, PA, Juno 1.-The flood at
Johnstown has resulted in an awful catas-
trophe. The reservoir above the town
broke about five o'clock, last evening, and
the immense volume of water rushed
down to the city, carrying with it death
and destruction. Houses, with their oc-
cupants, were swept away, and scores
probably hundreds of people were
drowned. There is no communication
with Johnstown, but a telegraph operator
in the Pennsylvania railroad town OF
Sang Hollow, twelve miles this side of
Johnstown, says at least seventy five
dead bodies have foated past The wires
are all down and no trains are running
east of Blairsville, which is about twenty
five miles west Of Johnstown. as.
Latest reliable information received
from Johnstown comes through Pennsyl-
vania railroad officials, who aver that
over two hundred dead bodies have been
counted floating down stream at Johns
town, while along the line many addition
al lives have been lost 1t is asserted that
there are but two houses in Johnstown
proper entirely above the water line. A
special train, bearing Pennsylvania rail-
road officials and n large number of news
paper men, has left this city for the scene.
Telegraphic communication is entirely cut
of, and until telegraph repairmen and
operators, with necessary instruments,
open up at the nearest point but little re-
lieble information can be obtained.
A special from Greensburg says: ga re-
port has Just reached here that the greater
portion of Johnstown has been flooded
and thousands of lives lost Houses are
floating about, and the people who are
free are panic-stricken, and are fleeing to
the mountains. At a point near New
Florence eighty-flve persons have been
seen floating down the river on drift-wood.
One report comes that but two roofs OF the
houses in Johnstown can be seen. The
Covetown and New Florence bridges have
been washed away, and all the buildings
along the Conemaugh between Now
Florence and Johnstown have been car
ried away. The railroad towers have
