 ITO the People of the State of Iowa You have heard of the affllction which has fallen upon some of the towns of our State have made personal examination of the facts in this city, by coming here and go- ing over the flooded districts, and find that at least seventy five families have lost most of their household goods and much of their clothing, while their dwellings have been greatly injured by the fooos. In sd- di,ion to this loss Of homes and furniture and clothing, the county at large has sui fered greatly in the loss of nearly every bridge, both iron and wood, within it's linn. its. A careful estimate places the number of families which require help at once at leo, this mak ing population Of about 500 that will require for considerable length of time to be cared for by the charity of our people. In addition to the above, many of tho surrounding towns have sui fsrsd greatly and will necessarily bo com pelled to appeal to the people of the State for aid In view of this ca amity, recom- mend that tho Mayors of the several cities of the Stats and all other charitAbly dis posed persons immediately take steps to organize prop,r committees to solicit aid for theso unfortunates, and see ths, the same is promptly forwarded to David H. Bloom, Mayor of Cherokee, for distribu ton among those of the city who have sui fered losses, and such persons as may be named by the proper authorities of the towns which have suffered from the same calamity. All contributions so forwarded will be faithfully applied 10 tue purpose for which they are sent. Let contribu. tions he prompt and liberal.

TWO STRIKERS KILLED.
Bloody Battle Between White and Black
 Miners at Franklin, Wash.


 Miners at Franklin, Wash.
 SEATTLE, Wash, June O.-1he trouble between the white and co ored miners at Franklin was precipitated on Saturday by the withdrawal of part of the Pinkerton guard, which gave the white strikers req son to believe the remaining force sufficient. ly weak to be overcome. There was no or- ganized attempt until the arrival of the men from Newcastle with the returning guards. They were fired upon from am. bush, presumably by white men, and the fire was returned by the guards. The ne. groes turned out, and . white man, whose name is unknown, turned upon and shot . negro named Gaston in the hip. Tho ex. citement became general, and firing seems to have beeu very reckless. During tho fusilade, Portsr Ro binson, . manager ot ono of the pit boxes in the mine, who had refused to so out with the white miners, opened fire upon tho men, ono shot hit Tom Morey in the temple and he dropped in his tracks. dead man. Another shot hit Ed J. William 5, entering the abdomen. Will Hams ran for . distance of about thirty rods before he fell. Seeing the effect of bis work, Rober tson went down to the company's office, told Deputy Bon Stretch what he had done, and delivered himself up.
 When the firing had ceased the excite ment was intense. The negroes, gathering about in groups and thoroughly aroused, swore that HOO men could not take the camp.
 Companies B and D of the 5th Regiment, National Guard, left for Franklin coal mines on a special train at l o'clock this morning.

TO PIXIES PEAK SUMMIT
The Highest Railroad in the
 World Opened:
VERlTABLE HAIR LINE
First Trip Co tho summit of Train With Sixty-Fivs Paaaengers-A Marvel of the Skill of Modern Engs-
 neers Exhibited,

COLORADO STRINGS, Colo, July 1. Tho Pike's Peak Railway is now in successful operation. The first passenger train
 reached the summit at 5:25 this afternoon. The train consisted of an engine and one car occupied by sixty five people. mostly
 excursionists from Denver. The lower
 terminus of the line is 6, 400 feet above sea level and the upper 14,l47. The distance
 is nine miles. and the steepest grade Is 25 DOT cent. There is . doubletrack rail in the centre of tho track, which is of . stan
 dard guage, with steel rails, and 15- foot | roadbed. The road is operated on the Apt | system. The road is constructed n the
 most thorough manner and every precau-
 tion for the safety of the passengers is | used.
 On the way up a slight snow squall was
 encountered, and on the summit the air was | unpleasantly cool, even with heavy over coats. No lncideut occurred to mar the success of the opening trip. On the return of the excursionists they were furnished Q
 complimentary supper by the managers of l the road
 The engine weighs forty tons. It oper- ates by cogwh sels alone, there being no ad- | hesion on tho drivers Tho cogwheels, two in number, are placed directly over the | centre Of the track in such position that
 they gain the advantage of tho weight of tho engine. The rear of the locomotive is | elevated so that the boiler will be nearly levcl whom on the heaviest grades. The two tanks on each side of tho boiler carry
 tho water suppv, there being no tender, and sufficient coal for one round trip is carried In coal box on the rear of tho cab. | As tho eng no pushes the train uphill, h.
 stead of pulling, as ia ordinary railroad
 trains, 1t has no uso for . pilot or "cow-
 catcher" and resembles in hardly any re- | spect the ordinary locomotive.
 The passenger coaches do not differ ma terially from tho ordinary Pullman coach, but are constructed so that passengers may
 sit comfortably in . horizontal position whom tho car is on an incline.
 | This is the most novel as well as the | highest railroad in the world
