save their lives. Here in Fillmore all who
live in the lower part of town are NOV
ing out and in order to do so they are
compelled to go through water and mud
from three to four feet deep. The loss
throughout the county is estimated at not
less than $4,000 to $4,000 A vast scope
of country, with growing crops, is under
water and the water is still coming in
great torrents. The people here are ex-
pecting another rush this evening, as it is
still raining Three saw mills have been
washed away-one belonging to Joseph
Hanson, one to John jackson, another to.
Levi Warner, besides all the necessary
implements for running the same. The
mills were all situated in the canyons east
of Fillmore. The poor farmers and stock
raisers are. as usual, the greatest suffer
ers, and the loss in some cases includes
their all. These floods are becoming a
yearly menace, and the people are loud
in their condemnation CT the sheep, which
they say is the principal cause. They have
eaten up the grass, destroyed vegetation
in the mountains, leaving nothing to re-
tain the moisture as it falls, and the rain
runs off as fast as it would from a ducks
back.

DENVER, Colo, July Ex-senator
Teller has returned to Denver from
Manitou, where he has been in con-
ference with Senator Dubois of Idaho
and Congressman Hartman of Mon
tana as to the course the silver Re-
publicans shall pursue in the ap-
preaching campaign. They have post
poned their conference until other sill
yer senators can arrive. They will
probably then issue a statement of
their position Senator Teller makes
no concealment of his intention to sup
port Mr. Bryan for the presidency. He
says he is satisfied that Mr.. Bryan
will make the financial question para
mount to all others in the campaign,
and that if elected he will devote him
self with great singleness of purpose
to securing return to national BIZ
metallism.
Mr. Teller believes that Mr.. Bryan
is a. strong candidate to begin with,
and that he will constantly grow with
the people. Teller will not permit the
use of his name at the st. Louis Popu-
list or silver conventions.

OMAHA. July IA special to the
Bee from Grand Island, Neb., says:
about the only question that seems
to interest delegates to the Populist
state convent ton tonight, is how vigor-
Gus the kick against Instructions for
Bryan will be. That with instructions
Bryan will carry through the conven-
ton by a vote of at least three TO one
there seems 10 be no doubt, and it is
believed by the most enthusiastic Bry-
an supporters that it will be practically
unanimous.
Almost all Of the conventions held
Saturday," says a PopuliSt who is
high in the councils of his party, de
clared for Bryan. while the delegates
of counties which held conventions be-
fore the Chicago nominations seem
largely III favor of Bryan Instructions
But few delegates arrived today,
and the evening trains added but few
others. In all there We're not over 200
in the city this evening, though the.
eastern men are expected tomorrow
early. There is some empha tic obiec-
ton TO nominating Bryan Dan Burr
of South Omaha, is working a mid
die of the road delegation End there
are others. These men say their num-
Der will be considerably increased upon
the arrival of eastern delegations. It is
claimed that one-third at least of
Douglas county's delegation will be
against Bryan, and tomorrow morning
a livelier scramble may be made. Their
cause is, however. being met by the
prompt charge of 'sboodlers,n cap
pers, Republican allies" "a. P. A.
etc. The Bryan enthusiasts have no
fear whatever over the outcome. The
Populists expect to have Holcomb and
their state ticket endorsed by the DEM
ocrafs after the st. Louis convention

ANOTHER BOND. ISSUE.
1t is Said to Be Looming Up in the
Immediate Future.

Immediate Future.
CHICAGO, July IA special to the
Tines-Herald from Washington, D. c..
says:
II is useless to conceal the fact that
should the Withdrawals of gold con-
tinue at the present rate, another bond
issue will be necessary to sustain the
credit of the government. While the
administration has not expected to be
able to pull through until March 4th
without another sale of bonds, it did
hope to defer the issue until late in the
fall, or, if possible, TO the first of next
year.
The withdrawals on Monday were
for s675,3OO, of which s375, 900 is for
immediate expectation. The balance
will probably be boarded. This dispo-
sition to hoard gold has been notably
apparent for several days. On Satur-
day nearly S125,O0O was Withdrawn for
this purpose and on the day before
the Withdrawals were nearly s1,0Q0,O00,
a. large part of which was to be kept
In this country.
The gold reserve today is $sS, 420,6S5.

."Oh." said Mr. Sewall, ''they will all

RICHFIBLD, July IA heavier
flood than yesterday came down this
afternoon from Cottonwood, Willow
Creek and Cedar Ridge canyons, north
of this city. The city is again flooded
with rivers of water running down each
street from smag canyon west of
town. The floods from Cottonwood,
Cedar Ridge and Willow Creek have
carried away large sections of the rail-
road grade north of the city. It is es-
timated that about three miles of grade
between this place and Salina is
<washed out. or so damaged that trains
cannot pass over it. In one place a
fifteen-foot grade is washed out for a
considerable distance. The track be-
tween hete and Elsinore, recently com
pleted, sdems to be comparatively I'M
injured The valley south of here has
been visited by heavy foods, both yes
terday and today, and large amount
of damage has been done
Monroe is reported to be practically
under water. while the wagon road
between here and there is piled with
huge boulders brought down by the
foods from Love mountain. This is
the worst storm that has visited this
section for many years. Heavy dam
age to growing crops is reported from
all over the valley. 1t is expected that
travel by rail will be interrupted for
several days. The storm is reported
general as far south as Coyote, with
considerable damage. Joseph, Elsinore
and other places in the valley report
floods and damage. The storm seemed
to cover the mountains on both sides
of the valley, and if that is so Emory
canyon has been turned into torrent.

almost a failure. Scarcely 800 people. all

pulled in bearing Mr.. Bryan and his WIFE
A club of Democratic voters arrived from
Nashville with a band about 1870 and a
few minutes later one came in from Fair
field, but they added scarcely 200 people
to the crowd. To make matters worse.
the place selected for Mir. Bryan to meet
the crowd was at the city park, which
had already been engaged by William E.
Mason, a Republican candidate for the
United States senate from this state. On
this account, Mr.. Bryan and his friends
had to vacate before 8 o'clock. The big
majority of the crowd that came to the
park appeared to be Republicans who had
expected to listen to Mr.. Mason's talk
There were frequent cheers for Mckinley

A Terrible Storm in Both the vai-

Cspecial to The Herald.l

(Special TO The Herald.l 4
GUNNISON STATION, July 1A-
There was a. terrible storm in the San
pete and Sewer valleys last night. The
hail and rain fell in torrents inszManti,
Moroni and Gunnison The hail at
Manti killed spring chickeE% and beat
the leaves off the grain. IN Gunnison
it went in strealxs, beating the leaves
off the grain and flatteging the lucern
to the ground.
The grain crop may be a failure on
account of it, as it may be too late
to ripen.
The Deseret telegraph line is still
down in several places.
The hail stones that fell here were
as large as hazelnuts and fully as
large in Manti. Near Gunnison several
small FISH were found on dry ground.
The fish were presumably small sal
mon. and this leads to the belief that
it was a waterspout.
A cloudburst occurred near May
field and the stream ran down to the
Gunnison fields, and covered up many
acres of hay ard grain, filled cellars
and flooded barnyards. A great deal
of lucern had been cut and the mud
has spoiled it in many places. The
standing lucern is too fiat to be cut
we'll.
The R. G. W. passenger train had
to lay over here, and the passengers
slept on the seats, so Richfieid had no
train last night. The worllmen's train
has been working since daylight and
has not finished mending the washout
yet.
There was another washout near
Richfield, but particulars are not at
hand as yet.

you"
The reply came promptly as follows:
I've shall be glad to receive your
delegation next Monday"
The Burlington will make q. special
rate from Denver to Lincoln and re
turn, so that those who wish to accom-
pany the train only as far as Lincoln
may do so. The rate to st. Louis is to
be the same from all Colorado points
as from Denver
The Colorado headquarters in st.
Louis is to be at the Southern hotel.
