The Loss at Lake Gervais.

ST.. PAUL, July 15.-Thousands of
people from St. Paul drove out this after
noon to the scene or the cyclones furious
attack at Lake Gervais. The road lead
ing to that point was thronged with
vehicles, and in the neighborhood of the
ruined cottages there we're innumerable
groups of, sight-seers and relic hunters,
who interfered to no slight extent with
the earnest workers who were searching
among the debris and in the lake for
bodies of the missing. The aspect of the
country which had been swept by the
storm was one never to be forgotten.
Immense trees had been torn and twisted
and lay scattered all over tile ground,
while only the remains of what had been
commodious and we'll built houses, were
splinters that lay strewn about in every
direction. About fifty feet back of the
Good and Schurmeier cottages is spot
about 100 feet square where the storm
appears ito have performed it's most fan
tastic work, and the peculiar effect is
one that calls forth expressions of won
der. A large force of men were engaged
all day in dragging the lake for the
bodies of Mrs. Schurmeier and
her sen and DR.. Phaehe, but
without success. They resumed work at
daylight, and with thousand feet of
rope, to- which hooks were attached,
commenced thorough search. At pres
ent writef,,l they are still unsuccessful.
L is theeep fry Of many people that the
bodies ob.nd missing are as likely to be
found on e.01, AS in the water and parties
have BEG III lring the country for miles
around olgesus scked cottages in hope of
discover not mes remains under some of
the falle,ver hayr. The injured are all

many who made use of the life preserv-
ers, but probably none who had as good
or as much use of them as had Robert
Adams, the 17-year-old son of DR.. Adams
of Lake City and a companion from Red
Wing. They had three life preservers
and were in the water six hours before
being rescued. Young Adams could
swim but his companion could not. They
had the good sense to float quietly and
not attempt to fight the waves to shore
During the six hours they we're in
the water, from 9 to 3, they were butfeted
by the billows and blown hither and yon
by the gale. They first drifted about
mile down past the town and then
change in the wind carried them up the
river to Frontenac, seven miles from
here, where they were rescued by DR..
Caine and party, still alive and we'll, but
considerably the worse for their hard ex-
perience.
THE FUNERALS
will be most of them held at Red Wing
tomorrow. That town is one vast scene
of mourning. The coroner says there
are thirty three who have not yet been
reported, and it is probable that nearly
that number will be among the dead.
The exact number of those whose bodies
have already been recovered varies very
slightly. Some place the number at
sixty and others at sixty-six, which
would make the total number of dead
and missing ninety-nine. It may prove
that some Of these will be later heard
from. AS to that, time alone can tell .

Al Monmouth park last Saturday q
neatly-dressed. middle-aged woman with
q motherly face sat just behind the re-
I~,orter's stand. She watched everything
and everybody closely and seemed 10 be
laboring under great excitement.
As the horses were going 20 the post for
the sixth race she stood up and looked
down the track a~nxiously. Turning 20
several men sitting behind her she asked,
with assumed composure: 'NCan you tell
me what horse the boy Decker Is rid
"Arab," replied one of the men.
"Is he q ~favorite ?"
"No," said the man. ID you want to
make q bet?
go, no., 1 don't care TO make a bet"
she replied, but I'm interested ! N the
race" -.
Just then the cry went up They're of"
The woman stood on tip-toe and watched
them coming. Az they entered the stretch
she clapped her hands and cried, 'Come
on, Arab; come oni Good horse, good
horsev" The horses were nearly at the
wire when her excitement overcame her
and she sank 10 the hoor.
She didn't swoop, but she didn't have
any strength left. When she was lifted
up on a chair her first question was, "Did
Arab wiz?
She was told that he was beaten by q
head. She was terribly disappointed. As
soon as she had recovered sufficiently she
left the track. A man who said he knew
her said she was Jockey Decker's mother.
Decker had been n jockey tor several
years, but that was the first time she had
seen him ride.-Eschdnge.

Mr.. Clarkson. since his return to the
East, has talked freely about what he
saw and heard during his trip to the
Pacific slope. He Is a tireless talker at
all times and he tells the reporters all
about the Mormon question, the new
states, the thrift of California, the
beauties of Puget sound and the great
ness and glory Of the Northwest. But
in all Mr.. Clarkson's talking we do not
discover any reference to the worst
p~ostoflice on earth, which is on exhibit
ton daily during business hours i'm the
city Of Butte. There was a time when
Butte was bold enough to ask for a
postofice building. II would be mighty
well satisfied now with just the post

IL will be a long time before Mon
tana hears the last of the republican
quarrel that followed the election of
sanders and Power. Sometimes the
i'll feeling manifests itself i'm a curt
newspaper paragraph not longer than
two lines. On other occasions the pub
lie gets q big dose of 1t. Two solid
columns Of it found space yesterday
on the Inter Mountains second page.
The sending OF Power and Sanders to
Washington wa a nasty piece of bust
ness from every standpoint. The
jealousies IL aroused and the back
biting it engendered are incidents In
which the public hasn't the smallest
interest. The unseemly strife left
scars but democrats don't yea them.
The item of chief account is that out
of the turmoil came two frauds whose
presence in Washington is a disgrace
to Montana and a source of constant
modification TO her people.

THE FIGURES ON IT.

The Helena Independent asks,
whats the population of Anaconda 7
How does IL size up with Butte and
Walkerville ?"
We take the estimates for popula.
tion furnished by Supervisor Speer.
These give Anaconda about 500 peo-
pie. not as many as IA people had x
pected, although Anaconda never
claimed n population exceeding 5000,
so that the estimate furnished by Mr..
Speer is not wide of the mark for this
town; and that is undoubtedly true of
his figures for all the cities of Montana.
With this total at command, the Tnde-
pendent can figure out "how Anacon-
da sizes up with Butte" That is easily
done because the returns show that
Butte Is almost precisely twice as large
a Helena. In round numbers Butte
has 1900 people and Helena has
1900.
We take pleasure In furnishing to
our Helena contemporary the infOr.
nation II seeks regarding Anaconda.
We suppose II is sought In order that
the temporary capital may figure what
IL has got to face when the capital
question ONE up. Put Butte and
Anaconda together and we have q total
of say $500, on official figures, against
the II 900 given by the same reliable
and official authority to the city which
is the independents home.
What will Helena do in its effort TO
overcome this wide difierencey How
can the town hump itself TO the tune
Of thousands so wide apart The fact
In, the thing can't be done. More than
this, Butte is moving ahead at a pace
with which 1t is simply impossible for
Helena to compete. It is altogether
probable that. during the next two
years, Butte will add a thousand to its
population for every two hundred of
increase In Helena, and our gifted con
temporary in that city, in making its
estimates, will wisely take into account
the larger relative difference II will
have TO overcome when the capital
question goes to the people.

JUDGE CARSON

Spoke at the cemetery as follows,
while the assemblage was formed in a
hollow square about the monument to
the unknown dead:
Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Silence, at this sacred spot, is far more
eloquent than speech. Comrades, you
remember the name and face of every
comrade who fell at your side in battle,
and whose remains now lie in an I'M
known grave. Wherever we smeet on
this cOnsecrated day, we mentally call
this imperishable roll of honor.
II is estimated that over $4,000 of
our comrades sleep in unknown graves.
1t may seem strange to the rising gen.
Grafton that this should be so. Com
radeS, you remember when 1.-The first
heavy drops of the storm" began to
fall when on the right of the line of
battle, cOmrade here and there went
down as you advanced; presently you
were withdrawn to reinforce the center;
comrades fell as you swept along the
line of the storm, Others fall as YOU
plunge into the midst of the battle,
Possibly you were again detached to
support the left wing of the army, and
you are far away from where most of
the boys fell, you could not stop to care
for your dead; other hands must place
them in their last resting place, and
their identity is lost forever. You re-
member where they fell. The brightest
boy of our company was torn from our
line by the screeching shell as we
passed under the yoke of disaster at
Chickamauga to join Thomas at Ross
vile Pass; we heard the shell burst, we
saw the smoke, and we heard his wild
cry, and his remains lie in an unknown
grave today. He was the Oldest son of
q widowed mother, upon whom she had
leaned for support. ! called on her up
on my return and told her the story of
his death. / remember her sad face,
but not one word of regret was spoken
Like Titus lament when told of the
heroic death of his son in battle, AZ am
satisfied, my son hath done his duty"
"'Tis glorious to die for our country
she said, Il am glad George has done
his duty.
Let the children be taught these les
sons of patriotism, and to venerate the
dear old flag, and that it will be their
duty to strike down any other banner
that may be raised against it, and our
country will be preserved to the remot
est generation.
