A WASHOUT.

Ihe East Greek Goes on Rampage With
With Bad Results.
The heavy rain yesterday afternoon
caused the East Creek to become so much
swollen that a bad washout occurred on
the Bt. Wayne road. The trouble was at
point near Stark siding where the creek
formerly crossed the track twice but has
had the channel changed so that it now
runs along the track for some little dis
tance. The continued washing of the
high water crumbled the bank away and
left the track stranded. A large force of
men worked all night to repair the dam
age and everything is in running order
again, All trains last night went around
from Alliance to Orrville by way of Hud-

MINNEAPoLIs, June 8.-lSpecial. THE
spectacular specimens of humanity, who
have been here since Saturday, now four
days gone, are looking hollow eyed, limp
and tired this morning. No ballot today
they say, and after the big rain the voices
OF the Blaine and Harrison bawlers are
discordant and cracked. All is yet at sea,
with the prospect of close vote between
Harrison and Blaine.
1t is perhaps worthy of note that many
of the distinguished leaders of the Repub-
lican party have made their way to Min
neapolis as the honored guests of the rail.
way corporations. A refreshing spectacle
in these days would be that Of statesman
conducted under the auspices of his own
conscience and his own pocket book.
The most terrible things to encounter
here are the campaign lyrics. The Harri-
son chaps get the worst of it. Some of
them are funny, as sang by the clubs,
but they mostly give one hankering
after death.
