LOSS TO PROPERTY IMMENSE.
Scores of Dwellings and Farm
Buildings Carried orr by
the Flood. #a#

KANSAS CITY, July 9.-Reports Of
storms during the last three days come
over large territory and show that
the entire eastern watershed OF the
Rocky mountains from the Nebraska
and Iowa lines to Texas were swept by
a storm. Friday night the worst blow
came. Reports OF loss of life and de-
struction OF property came with every
telegram, and the downdour, first re-
garded as blessing, grew into wave
of destruction. Fields Of grain that
promised the most bountiful yield IN
many years were swept bare of vegeta-
ton. In several instances, the seas OF
rain were abetted in their work OF de-
struction by tornadoes. 1t is too early
vet to sum up the loss, but the total IS
appalling, and those to whom the
angry elements spared life have little
left to sustain it. The stories of storm
are so similar that statistical sum-
mary is all there is left to tell.
Southwest Missouri the Centre.
The storm focus embraced an area OF
200 square miles, with the Southwest
ern corner of Missouri as the center.
The greatest loss Of life is reported
from Winona, NO., where eleven
corpses have been found, with as many
more missing.
At Baxter Springs, in Southwestern
Kansas, five were killed and eleven
seriously injured by a cyclone that a.
companied the storm. One person was
drowned at Columbus and TWO at o.
tawa 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 nor their
belongings was found, except a part OF
their wagon in a pile of drirtwood.
At Thomasvllle, No., where the rain.
fall was tour inches in one hour, five
persons were lot. Unconfirmed reports
are received of loss OF life, as follows:
Three at Fayetteville, Ark; one at
Richards, Kan, and six OF a hunting
party in the Indian Territory.
Immense Damage to Property.
The loss of property can be placed in
the millions. Dwellings, fences and
farm buildings were carried off and
highway and railroad bridges swept
away. Thirty of the so buildings in
Winona succumbed. Five residences,
church and warehouse went down
at Baxter Springs Six bridges went
out in Russell county, Kan. About
Jefferson City, Mo-, many square miles
of growing grain were destroyed.
Traffic on the Fort Scott and Memphis
railroad is temporarily suspended.
Reports of damages to property other
than above noted come from five points
in Kansas, nine in Missouri, SIX in Ar.
kansas and two in Indian Territory.
The storm spent itself in Illinois, but
having lost its force, proved bless. ng
to CROPS.

CHICAGO, July 9.-The Times

column:
Many of the stockholders Of the &c.
curities of the Northern Pacific are
we'll pleased that the plan Of the Great
Northern to acquire that line has fallen
through: They figure that the North
ern Pacific under its present manage
ment will give them a better chance
for their money than they might have
had under the terms upon which the
Great Northern was to assume control
Of the property. None of them doubt
that James J. Hill would have given
the road a most careful and conserva-
tive management, but under the pres
ent board of control the net earnings
have shown a very material increase,
having footed up $1,000, 900 during the
fiscal year just closed. 1t is estimated
upon the basis of the business done
during the last fiscal year that the net
earnings OF the system for the next
fiscal year will approximate So, 00O,-

Great Northern was to assume the con-
troll of the Northern Pacific all moneys
over St, 900, 900 would have gone to the
aid and support of the Great Northern.

OWNED BY THE OWNERS,
And Not by Il Syndicate of Phil
althrODic Suckers.


anthropic Suckers.
The st. Paul Dispatch used Chicago
special of yesterday as the pretext for
a statement calculated to reflect on the
financial standing of. the GLOBE. I'm
der the interrogatory headline Who
Owns the GLOBE|' the Dispatch pro-
ceeds to say that cit was given out that
considerable of the stock of the GLOBE
hau been deposited with the Bank of
Minnesota as collateral, and that Mr..
Dawson represented this stock" etc.
That the lie was as malicious as 1t
was silly is amply shown by the fact
that no inquiry was made at the Bank
of Minnesota, where it could easily have
been learned that the GLOBE has a
balance instead of deficiency; that no
stock had been deposited there as col
lateral, and that there was no founda
ton whatever for the story. The
GLOBE does not owe the Bank of Min
nesota. or any other bank on earth, a
single dollar, and the curiosity of the
Dispatch as to the ownership of the
GLOBE can be easily gratiffed at the
business office. The total liabilities of
the GLOBE are less than those of the
DlSpilCil ny oil dlilOulll dDOul eQUdl "
the total value of the latter paper, and
are less than those of any other daily
paper in ST. Paul by 80 per cent.
That is to say, the GLOBE does
not owe $40 where the Dispatch
or the other papers owe 500. The
GLOBE has no curiosity to know who
owns the Dispatch, and neither does it
care to learn the reasons for the adop-
ton Of new articles of Incorporation al
lowing the Dispatch to assume another
$l0O,0OO of Indebtedness. 1t is none Of
the GLOBES funeral, and if Messrs.
Lowry, Merriam and the ether public
spirited gentlemen who have poured
their golden corn into the Unsuitable
hopper Of the Dispatch are satisfied
with their investment no one else has a
right to kick.
So long as the Dispatch is published
under existing conditions it need not be
at the expense of publishing a puzzle
department, for no one yet has ever
been able to learn who owned it, who
published it, who was responsible for
its libels, or what excuse there was for
its appearance on the streets. SO far as
the GLOBE is concerned, it's stockhold-
ers seem to be very we'll satisfied and
very much disinclined to waste any
energy removing the iron mask from
the disguised owners of the Dispatch.

FIGHT FOR A CHILD.
ELLIS c.. BOVIARD PETITIONS
FOR HABEAS CORPUS
FOR A FIVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Who He Claims Is UnIawfuIIy
Withheld by Mary A. Walk
er-The Writ Issues.

Ellis c. Boviard yesterday, through
her attorney, A. E. Bowe, filed in the
district court a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus for the recovery from
one Mary A. Porter, of Edith Grant
valley a five-year-old child of which
the petitioner was appointed guardian
by the probate court a few days ago.
The petitioner is the wife of Charles
Boviard, the uncle of the little child,
and the Porter woman is it's old
maid aunt, who is some siXty-five
years old. 1t is claimed that when
the parents died three children then
living were taken in charge by this
aunt, who placed them in the orphan
asylum. Later on she took them out
and provided for them herself until
two of them died, leaving this one
the youngest, still to be cared for
She brought it to the uncle's home,
who provided for both the child and
aunt up to a short time ago. Boviard
has no family of his own, so a few
days since he applied to the probate
court and secured the appointment of
his wife as guardian of the little one,
with a view to securing more absolute
control of it and raising it as he would
his own child.
This angered the aunt, and, accord
ing to the allegations contained in
the petition, she enticed the child
away on Feb. Is, with the intention of
keeping and concealing it. Judge Will
lis ordered that the writ asked be
issued.
