BAD FOR COLORADO.

Excessive Rains Cause Floods and
the Breaking Of a Reser-
voir Dam.
DENVER, Colo, June pa spe-
.cial to the News from La Junta,
Colo, says: At p. m. yesterday
the dam gave way at the Thatcher
reservoir, 46 miles above here,
flooding the surrounding country
east and filling the Timpas creek
and the many canons bank full.
It is feared the Santa Fe bridge
over Timpas creek, six miles west
of La Junta, will be washed out.
The reservoir contained 100000
gallons and drained the foothills OF
the Ration mountain for miles. The
Purgatorre river has been very
light since Wednesday, owing to
the heavy rains in the mountains,
causing the dam to give way. No
loss of life is yet reported and 1t Is
thought the settlers had time to
escape the flood.
Late tonight the Otero Irrigation
zfume, one of the most expensive
in the state, is in danger. Many
wagon roads have been entirely
washed away for number of miles
at a stretch in some places.

Here's a Shooting Tournament.

NEW YORK, June pa shooting
tournament greater than any that
has ever yet taken place In Ameri-
ca or Europe, and the attendant
festivities, will be held in this city
and at Glendale, L. l., tomorrow to
July 8.
The target shooting will take
place at Glendale, l.. l., but other
features of the festival will be seen
in this city. For the past two years
the shooting clubs containing the
Matchmaker Schuetzen-Bund, (Na-
-tional Sharpshooter's union), have
been formulating plans for the
first National Schuetzen Fest ever
held in the United States.
Throughout Germany, Austria
and Switzerland such festivals
have frequently been held. At
some of these several American
clubs have been successful COM
.petitors for prizes. But all other
shooting festivals will be distanced
by the first tournament held in
America, in the matter Of valuable
prizes. Thousands OF dollars will
DE given out in cash prizes, and ex-
pensive trophies will be competed
for. The amount to be expended
for prizes is $4,000, exclusive of
sums and medals offered by indi-
viduals and clubs. The different
societies comprising the National
association have raised guaran-
tee fund Of S125, 900 for the expenses
of the affair. While most of the
men in the ranks OF the promoters
of the tournament are Germans,
it will be a cosmopolitan event,
and many American gun clubs will
join the German-American schuet-
zen societies in the festivities.
With the single exception OF the
Honor target com petition, all con-
tests are open to all corners. No
club or marksman from any part
of the United States or Europe is
debarred from competing for the
numerous prizes.
The president of the organization
is William Won Weber, captain of
the Independent New York Schuet-
zen. The first shooting master is
Bernhard Walther, president of the
Zettler Rifle club. The park where
the shooting will take place is one
of the most accessible in the vicin-
ity of New York. 1t has twelve
shooting alleys and forty-five
shooting stands. Besides, a man.
moth shooting stand has been
erected specially for the occasion.
The program makes the prize
shooting begin tomorrow, with
picnic and festival banquet. Mon
day the societies of the Bund will
give a street parade in this city.
Tuesday will be Volksfest societies
day; July 8, Veterans day; July
4, national holiday; July o; Bowl
ers' day; July 6, Turner's day;

From Hannibal, Mo-, comes the true
solution, who is known as "the tourist"
He is on the road, and is supposed to
know something about it. Among
other things he gives as knock
out blow, is this assertion: "When
the so-called Christian people of
this country take q tumble to
themselves and pay more attention to
Christ's teachings and less to those little
spasmodic efforts at charity and try to
give every man chance to make a liv.
ing for himself and family, then will the
tramp nuisance be abated."

for the poor tramp was the representa-
tive of the faith cure. He had tried il
upon several and one in particular, came
back every day. and lie could see by his
daily ASSOCIATION with him that he was
becoming a better man. He concluded
by saying, the poor tramp is new work
ing every day as spiritual healer"

Der of good pointers, the principal one,
is to make the tramp work. He also
claims, that the honest men of yester-
day, out of employment, finds the sweet
crust of charity more preferable to a
days work of honest toll. Also that it
is not the duty of society TO furnish food

such laws that every human being shall

And last but not least, upon this great

his mind in thunder tones. Thirty
years of infamous criminal legislation
built up more than war tariff in time
of peace. If they had not
been stopped in their mad career, they
would have turned this whole nation
into a population of tramps shutting
from the castle of one baron where they
had been permitted to sleep, to the pal
ace of another where they might hope
for food" THAT they could never have
succeeded in making the working man
any worse than by their American
plan John in the last paragraph of
his letter rips ont the following:
"And so the tramp is here. When
the nation drifts back-as it is surely
drifting-to that time when the differ
ent elements of our body politics are
more equitably adjusted, then tramplsm
will diminish: and il will finally disap-
pear, except in those cases where the
disease was too deeply implanted for
other eradication than that of death
And in time the grim reaper will re-
move even the last representative Of
that race which troubles us to-day.
In the perfection of democratic times
there will be no tramps."
But still with all this waste of time
and powder, there is no preceptible di-
minishing in tramps since Sunday last
