They read and study. and they could

The nomination of Mckinley seems as

defeat Mckinley are not ended. The

the delegate. AT least 20 Ohio dele

they felt reasonably certain OF success.
AS the southern states are called there
might be some scattering votes for
Foraker New York could cast at least
60 votes for him; then ohiO would

what does this mean? The words
may be used by the Platt delegate only

creek, which passes through a portion
Of the city and empties into the Blue
river, began to rise and came up so
rapidly that many families living in
the bottoms along the creek had to be
helped out, the overflow surrounding
their homes before they were scarcely
aware the creek was rising. Many
others have been able to get to and
from their homes by means of boats
only. The Blue river came UP with
rush.
At St. Paul reports from the storm
and flooded districts continue to come
in. They show the storm to have been
worse and more widespread and the
losses much greater than at first esti-
mated.

THE GATES ARE FAULTY.
Hence They Will Not Hang on Van
derbilt's Estate.

New York,June 8.-Cornelius Wander
bilt is a disappointed man. He has erect
ed a magnificent palace at Newport
and ordered from abroad a fine set Of
iron gates, costing a fortune. These
gates were thought to be the finest in
America, but they failed to pass the
inspection of the architect and must
come down.
They viii remain in position till the
fall, when they will give way to a new
set of the same design, but more per
feet workmanship. 1t has been found
that, while the gates can be shut. it
takes almost a yoke of oxen to draw
them apart. 1t is claimed that the pat

For three hours last night this city
was swept by one of the most violent
electrical and thunder storms that ever
occurred in this section of Illinois. Many
thousands of dollars damage result

HAIL AROUND WICHITA.
Crops Destroyed and Rabbits and
Birds Killed.

Wichita. Kan, June 8.-A terrible
hail storm at an early hour Sunday
destroyed thousands of acres of fine
growing corn in southern Kansas. The
hail stones cut the stalks off like a
moving machine. It was so severe that
the roadsides were strewn with dead
rabbits and birds. How far west and
south the storm extended is not knOWn-
but it was apparently general all over
southern Kansas and doubtless extend
ed over part of Oklahoma
