IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER.

Curtis, Nebraska, June 3d,-Curtis
lake burst from its banks yesterday
afternoon and volume of water was
released and carried destruction
through Medicine valley. The lake
covered an area of 100 acres, constructed
as an irrigation reservoir. The enor-
nous load of water which passed into
the lake during the last five days was
too heavy for the dam and without
warning the bank of the lake burst.
With roar heard for several miles.
a wall of water ten feet high rushed
down the valley, carrying everything
in its path. Houses, freight cars, stock
and mountain debris were caught up
and dashed about like feathers. The
roller mills, situated on the side of the
great ravine, received the first shock of
the torrent; the building was almost
ruined, causing a loss of $4,000.
A few hundred yards below the mills,
the Medicine river passes under the
Burlington tracks. When the Hood
struck the narrow defile, the heavy en-
bankments gave way and the water
rushed through, cutting path 100
yards wide. A number of freight cars
standing on the tracks close by were
precipitated into the river, being car
ried down the stream like straws. The
railroad company's loss is $25, 900.
AS the wall of water passed beyond
the city, it rapidly spread out over an
immense territory and its powers of de
struction were correspOndingly de-
creas ed. All details from the south
where the torrent passed indicate ex-
tensive damage. Farm products of
every description were engulfed.
Buildings were swept away or unde-
termined in such a manner as to be
rendered worthless and in some sec
tions the water rose so rapidly as to
seriously menace the lives of the fam
lilies. No loss of life is thus far re-
ported. Twenty miles to the south,
where Medicine valley is confined to a
small place, it is believed the damage
will be the heaviest.
While searching for washout between
Edison and Oxford the engine of re-
pair train plunged into a washout and
four men were killed The dead are
B. v Haley, roadmaster; Frank F.
Effries, engineer; G. c. M. Rowell,
fireman; Samuel Mundy, conductor.
All bnt Mundy were married men,
whose families reside at McCook. The
The washouts were caused by the break
ing of the Curtis lake dam.

THE SUPREME COURT ON STRIKES.

The labor organizations are right In
regarding the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Debs case as most i'm.
portant one in its bearing upon their
interests and operations. 1t sustains
the Chicago strike injunction, which
was directed not only against acts OF
violence, but also against peaceful eff.
forts to inaugurate strike. The of.
Tense of Debs and his official associates
consisted in sending out kilograms
ordering members of the union in vari.
Gus places to strike. Such proceed.
ing is held by the court to be contrary
to law, because it is calculated to cause
al obstruction of highway of inter.
state commerce; and such an obstruc
ton is a public nuisance to be re
strained like any other nuisance. "The
difference between a public nuisance
and private nuisance" the court says
sis that the one affects the people al
large and the other simply the indi
vidual." In both cases, the quality OF
the wrong is the same, we are told, and
the jurisdiction of the courts over them
rests upon the same principles and
goes to the same extent. at surely
can not be seriously cOntended," it is
added, shat the court has jurisdiction
to enjoin the obstruction of highway
by one person, but that it's jurisdiction
ceases when the obstruction is by q
hundred persons"
This decision, it will be observed
practically denies the right of labor or.
CARNATIONS to take any step in the way
of working up strike that implies in
reference with the operation of rail
road. That is to say, it is held that a
railroad strike IS a public nuisance, be-
cause it obstructs highway that Is fol
the use Of the people at large; and
therefore organized bodies of laborers
may be enjoined from doing anything
to bring such result to pass. 1t viii
be remembered that in the Northern
Pacific case, Judge Jenkins issued al
injunction of this kind, which was sub
sequently modified by the Federal Cir
cult Court of Appeals so far as it re-
strained the labor leaders from coun
selling a strike, the idea being to uphold
the right of railway employees to strike
peaceably. The court of last resort
now says in effect that Judge Jenkins
decision was correct, and should not
have been modified on appeal; or, in
other words, that railroad employees
have no right to strike, peaceably oil
otherwise, under any provocation
This is a radical view of the matter
and one that conflicts with the general
opinion upon the subject. 1t has been
supposed heretofore that laborers had
a perfect right to strike at any time OF
for any reason so long as they did not
resort to violent means; but the Su,
preme Court declares that so far as
railroad employees are concerned, this is
an erroneous opinion, aud they must
find some other way to protect their
interests and accomplish their pur-
poses.--St. Louis Globe Democrat.

BURNING TRAIN IN A TUNNEL

With the rear coach ablaze and the
passengers in terror, a train on the
Philadelphia and Reading railway shot
through the Buck Mountain tunnel
Friday with the speed of cyclone. 1t
was the unusual spectacle of train on
fire, and for while it seemed as if the
passengers would be suffocated with
the smoke. Passenger train No. 8 left
Shamokin, Pennsylvania, at 5 o'clock
in the morning, and nothing extraordi-
nary was observed until it was running
through Buck Mountain tunnel. The
cars then filled with smoke and it was
discovered that the rear coach was on
fire. When the passengers realized
their perilous position the greatest con-
sternation prevailed. The smoke was
sitting, and for time it was feared
that many would be overcome. The
danger of stopping the train in the
tunnel and attempting to quench the
fire was too great to be undertaken.
There were no moments to lose in the
awful gloom and blackness. Without
waiting an instant the conductor sig-
nailed the engineer to put on full
steam. The order was obeyed. The
throttle was pulled wide open and the
train sped forward. The roar was ter
rife, as it is certain no train ever be-
fore dashed under Buck Mountain at
such velocity.
When the train emerged at the other

While on bicycle at Syracuse, N. ",
June 3rd, Fred Van Schock, aged 10,
lost control of the machine and fell be-
tween u trolley car and trailer. The
wheels of the trailer ran over him, al
most severing his body. He died short
ly afterwards.
Seven persons were poisoned at Law
renee, Mass, June 3rd, from eating
homemade ice cream. The victims are
Mrs. Buckley, her three daughters and
three visitors. The doctor was sum-
mcned and it required two hours hard
work before they were out of danger.
Monday morning sparks from a loco
motive set fire to the woods near Hun
ter Run, Pa. The people fought the
fire through Saturday night and all
day Sunday before they succeeded in
getting it under control, The fire
burned over about five square miles, de-
stroying valuable oil property and lum-
Der.
Heavy rains throughout eastern Colo
RADIO are rapidly melting the snow on
the mountains and making creeks and

full of smoke the passengers could
scarcely breathe. Then it was stopped
at water station, and after an open.
ing had been made in the car a stream
of water was turned upon the flames.
1t is believed that the fire was caused
by a spark from the locomotive which
fell upon the rear coach.

John Crum, not the famous sprinter,
but farmer of Grand Meadow town
ship, Cherokee county, has learned to
be cautious but paid dearly for his ex-
pericnce. A piano agent called with
an instrument requesting permission
to leave it on trial. The agent pro-
fessed that he was anxious to introduce
the piano and would pay Mr.. Crum a
commission of $120 on each instrument
sold in that territory. The farmer
signed what he supposed was receipt
for the instrument and was consider
ably surprised when another man called
a few days later presenting an ironclad
order for the instrument at $3.50, pay
able on demand. Mr.. Crum settled the
matter by giving his note for $275, but
even then he was the loser; for he OBJ
tanned very inferior instrument.
Sign nothing for strangers" is safe
rule for farmers to follow.
Ex-senator E. r. Cassatt, president
of the First National bank, of Pella, was
found Monday morning about 10 80 by
the cashier of the bank lying on cot
in rear room of the bank with blood
slowly oozing from three ugly gashes
in his throat and from a slash in his
right leg He was still alive, but I'M
conscious. Doctors was Immediately
called and he was removed 80 his resi-
dence, two blocks distant, where his
wounds were dressed. He rested
easily to-day and the doctors report
that his wounds are not dangerous and
he will pull through. He has been
flighty at times and talks in broken,
jumbled manner. Mr.. Cassatt has been
specializing for some time past on the
board of trade, and has suffered several
heavy losses The heaviest blow came
few days ago when he lost about
1000 on wheat speculation.
A synopsis of the labor contract at
the Ft. Madison penitentiary is being
prepared by the clerk of the executive
council. Three hundred prisoners have
been employed since 1874. The daily
earnings of these prisoners at 1876
were 90 cents which continued until
1880, when the wages were reduced to
4s cents. After 1888 wages were adj
vanced to 80 cents until 1893, when
they were again reduced to AZ cents
The hard times has caused much dis
satisfaction to prevail among the sew
eral establishments at Fl. Madison who
employ these men. They state that
they cannot afford to pay As cents to
these men for they cannot find mar.
ket for their product except in rural
districts where there exist no labor
unions. The firms at Fl. Madison have
asked the executive council to let them
discharge number of men and reduce
| wages on the others.

Proctor's Little Song.

played over time in the flower
parade, and he, Beck, refused to let
me go and get my supper, and go
to the theatre where / was engaged
to play at night. A few days after.
wards l returned to him my uni.
form, upon which 1 had paid ten
dollars. He wanted to knock of

pay, and while 1 was talking to
Beck his bull dog struck
me. There was then a free
for all fight-three to one.
They say 1 was badly worsted. 1
went to the theatre to work, "all-

He Gave the Key to Patriotism

FREDERICK CITY, Nd, June a.
Unhonored by his countrymen, be.
meath the soil OF his native country
in the cemetery Of Frederick City,
Nd, have lain for many years the
ashes of Francis Scott Key, whose
hymn, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner,n has been the inspiration for
thousands OF heroic deeds. At last
a movement Is on foot to erect a
suitable monument to his memory.
The Key monument association
was organized In June, 1894. 1t has
raised so far about $1,000 for the
object it has in view, and now APP
peals to the country at large for
funds. AS especially appropriate
to the day and in keeping with the
spirit, the committee has selected
today, National Flag Day, as time
when the children all over the
land and all patriotic citizens gen.
orally should forward contributions
to the fund.
Governor Brown, of Maryland,
has sent all appeal of this charac-
ter to the Governors OF all the
States. The remains of Key were
some years ago from
Cemetery, Baltimore,
to their present resting place.
Plain, head and foot stones alone
mark the grave. The secretary OF
the fund is F. Mckinley, Frederick
City.
Francis Scott Key was born in
Maryland, August 9, 1850. He was
prominent as lawyer, and was at
one time district attorney Of the
District of Columbia. When the
British attacked Baltimore, in
1914, he witnessed the affair from
the deck of an English man.of-
war, and his poem was inspired by
his feelings as he struggled to dis
Germ which flag waved upon Fort
McHenry. He died in 1913. The
celebration of Flag day promises to
have an increasingly wide observ-
ance. At the recent annual con-
of the Sons Of the Amerl-
can Revolution in Boston, resolu-
tions were adopted recommending
that June IA be permanently set
aside as Flag day. ..

Harriet Beecher Stowe 50.

HARTFORD, Conn, June A.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe will
be eighty-three years of age today.
The famous old lady keeps her
physical vigor in a remarkable de-
gree, and is stronger and in better
health than she has been for some
months. Her bent figure, with its
crown OF white hair is a familiar
sight to her neighbors as she
walks along with a step that bellies
her years, accompanied by her
faithful attendant. The copyright
on "Uncle Tom" expired two years
ago, so that Mrs. Stowe has now no
claim on the receipts from her
most famous and popular book,
Through the courtesy and kindness
Of her publishers, however, she
still receives bonus from the sales,
although, Of course, not an equiva'
lent of the royalties that were hers
lawfully before the expiration Of
the copyright.
