MILWAUKEE RECOVERING.
Hard Work to Straighten Out the
Storm TanGle.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July S.-As a
result of last nights storm, the only
reliable means of quick communication
this morning was the long distance
telephone. The Western Union lines,
as we'll as those of the Postal and the
Chicago & Milwaukee Telegraph COM
panies, We're prostrated to such an eX-
tent that, aside from the telephone,
railroad trains were the best substi-
tutes available to move the large ac-
cumulation Of commercial messages
and press dispatches. From about
p. m. Sunday, all through the night
and we'll into Monday, the telegraph
officials seemed utterly helpless to
straighten out the confusion and
wreck. So apparently inextricable was
the tangle that matter offered to the
Western Union at outside points for
Milwaukee and other points north was
returned to the senders, owing to the
prostration Of the wires. The situation
was a forcible reminder of the results
of the great blizzard in New York, and
in which the telegraph companies were
brought to a standstill, the single
avenue of electric communication be-
ing left to the long distance telephone.

DRAKE IN THE LEAD.
Hot Contest for Republican NOm-
nations in Iowa.

DES MONIES, To-, July S.-All the
candidates for governor before the
convention which meets Wednesday
are already on the ground. Dele
gates to the convention began to ar
rive yesterday, and today there are
hundreds here. The early comerS
are unusually numerous, and it is
believed that two-thirds of the del
egates will be in the city by tomor
row morning. Gen. Drake contin
ues to lead, and his vote on the first
ballot is estimated at 400. Senator
Harlan's strength on the same bal
lot will be in the neighborhood Of
500. Parratt, of Waterloo, is clearly
third.
Sensational charges were made
against Gen. Drake yesterday, in
volving a husband and wife named
Henderson. The general has denied
the wholething as blackmail, and
Henderson, who came here from st.
Louis, has practically confessed that
he was brought here by the agents
of Harlan and Mcfarland, the fac
tions most opposed to Drake. A sec
ond woman's story was told, but
the man, named Campbell, has writ
ten a letter denying the charges.
The matters are now reacting.
Harlan's men are more hopeful
today, as their candidate, in spite of
his years, is conducting himself with
much Vigor.

FORMAN, n. D., July S.-News of

acres Of grain were totally destroyed

killed by the hail stones, which were

MED by terrific wind, and early sown

badly lodged. The storm came from

was because Lady Vaudeville, now
Duchess of Manchester, who was
Consuelo Yznaga as a maid, and sis
ter to Fernando, objected to her
brothers marriage. She declined to
diffuse glory and magnificence by
attending. Then there were other
reasons. YZnaga's friends and his
brides acquaintance were largely
relatives and friends of the divorced
Mrs. Smith-Yznaga. There might
have been an outbreak. So the pair

Paxton, who last year became lost

APPALLING LOSSES ALONG THE

THE ROCKIES.
Railroad Traffic DemoraIfzed by

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July S.-Re-
ports of storms during the past three
days from over a large territory
Show that the entire eastern
watershed of the Rocky mountains
from the Nebraska and Iowa lines
to Texas was swept. Friday night
the worst blow came. Reports OF
loss of life and destruction of prop
erty came with every telegram, and
the downpour, first regarded as a
blessing, grew into a wave Of de-
struction. Fields of grain that prom
ised the most bountiful yield in many
years were swept bare of vegetation.
In several instances the seas of rain
were abetted in their work of devas-
tation by tornadoes. 1t is too early
yet to sum up the loss, but the total
is appalling, and those to whom the
angry elements spared life have lit
tie left to sustain it. The stories of
storm are so similar that a statisti-
cal summary is all there is left to
tell. The storm force embraced an
area Of 200 square miles, with the
the center. The greatest loss of life
is reported from Winona, Mo, where
eleven corpSeS have been found with
as many more missing. At Baxter
Springs, in Southwestern Kansas,
five were killed and eleven seriously
injured. One person was drowned at
Columbus and two at ottawa, Kan.
AT Van Buren, Ark, a mother and
her babe were drowned. A family
of five was encamped on the bank of
Fish creek, in the Indian territory.
Nothing of them or their belongings
was found except part of their
wagon in a pile of driftwood.
OVER FORTY KNOWN VICTIMS.
At Thomasville, Mo-, where the
rainfall was four inches in one hour,
five persons were lost Unconfirmed
reports are received of loss of life as
follows:
Three at Fayetteville, Ark; one at
Polata, Kan; one at Richards, Kan,
and six of a hunting party in the In
dian territory. This gives a known and
probable loss Of forty-three lives. This
ing water permits a thorough search.
The loss of property can be placed in
the millions. Dwellings,, fences and
farm buildings were carried off and
highway and railway bridges swept
away. Six bridges went out in Rus
sell county, Kansas. About Jefferson
City, Mo-, many square miles of grow
ing grain were destroyed. Traffic on
the Fort Scott & Memphis railroad is
temporarily suspended. Reports of
damage to property other than above
noted come from five points in Kansas,
nine in Missouri, six IN Arkansas and
two in Indian territory. The storm
spent itself in Illinois, but having lost
it's force proved a blessing to crops.
The above summaries are only a frac-
ton of loss in property. The greatest
burden falls upon the farmers, as the
season is too far spent to plant new
crops and suffering must surely follow
in the storms wake. The country's
grain has been cleaned out. Details of
individual suffering and experiences
would fill volumes and recite horrors
the equal of the Johnstown disaster.

AN IDEAL AMERICAN BEAUTY.
Mrs. Yznaga, as Mabel Wright,
was an ideal American beauty. She
is still one of the finest looking
women in the United States. She is
slender and graceful, purely blonde,
with delicate coloring. At the time
OF her entrance into New York So
c1ety ten years ago the late Ward
McAllister pronounced her zone of
the most beautiful women in the
world He was rightly esteemed
an expert on feminine charms. Miss
Wright's getting into the social
swim was little out of the ordinary.
Her parents were distinctly not on
the list of eligibles for the Patriarchs'
ball, although they moved in good
circles. Miss Wright met young
Knickerbocker, who showed his dis
elimination by falling madly in love
with her. He procured her introduce
ton into the exclusive set. She was
a prize winner from the start. The
young man who was responsible for
bringing her out was early lost
sight of.
The marriage was not at all happy,
and within a year there was reason
to believe that the bride urgently
regretted her failure to profit by
Mary Virginia Smiths example, but
it was not until last winter she de-
cided to apply for a divorce. What
grounds she will base her application
upon will not be publicly known
until the petition is filed. Mrs.
YZnaga del Valle-which is the full
name-utterly declines to satisfy the
inquisitive in this behalf.
