SEVERAL TOWNS, FLOODED.
Six People Drowned by Cloudbursts About
Pittsburg.

Pittsburg.
A cloudburst of immense force de-
scended upon Pittsburg and suburbs,
causing the loss of six lives and de-
stroying thousands of dollars worth of
property. Not much damage resulted
in the immediate city, but it was heavy
in the surrounding places. DeIIaven,
small oil town on the Pittsburg &
Western railroad, had to bear the
brunt of the storms fury, and it was
there that the most of the lives were
lost. This little town of 600 inhabit-
ants is situated in a valley just at the
junction of two creeks and every heavy
storm fills these creeks and floods por-
tions of the place, and this time wall
of water Is feet high swept down upon
it. When the storm burst the house
of James Robinson was made the place
of refuge by 10 persons. OF this num-
Der three women were drowned.
Three other persons were drowned at
other points. At least dozen towns
suffered much loss.

Women Not Eligible to State ONCE.

Atty.-Gen. Maynard has given an
opinion that Mrs. Lucy Morehouse, of
Big Rapids, is not eligible for the Office
of state superintendent of public in
struction. She was nominated by the
Michigan Nationalists. He says the
office was created by the constitution
and stands on the same footing as gov
ernor, auditor general or any other
State office. The constitution confines
electors to males. 1t would be absurd
to say that woman who cannot vote
can be candidate for a constitutional
office. A woman can be county school
commissioner or member of the board
of education, because such offices are
created by statute not by the con-
stitution.

Train Robbery mt Bellevue.

A special stock train on the c. & G. Il.
was boarded by four men at Bellevue,
all masked and heavily armed, who,
at the point of their guns, compelled
the two men in charge of the stock to
empty their pockets of all their money
and a number of other articles of small
value. Word was sent to Charlotte,
but when the train slowed up there
the robbers jumped off and the dark
hight aided them in escaping to the
woods. They were located in Sec
ton house at Potterville and posse
was organized and all were captured.
Their ages are Is to 80.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

The tax on hhe patience of voters is going to be very important item in American political life, if the develop ment of the Australian ballot system and the process of combining elections continue. Here is an ins .ance of what the system of continuation can ac- complish: Al
 In San Francisco the number of of fees to Joe filled by popular vote is fifty-four. The nominations for these offices are not confined to the old par ties, but are extended over a number of new organizations. The total num- Der of names which must go on the ballot has not yet been ascertained, but over two hundred and fifty have already been received. On election day the voter must read over Ehese nomi- nations. He will have to do so pretty carefully, or he will make mistakes He has on his hands at the same time the task of managing the ballot itself
 The authorities themselves do not know yet how to arrange the names and to fold the paper There are, per haps, cases of similar character in other states, but none which has been reported so far approaches this one which promises such trouble in Cali fornia.

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

From the diplomatic correspondence recently published it seems reasonably certain that there will be permanent arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain.
 Alt least three of the articlse pro- posed by Lord Salisbury have been agreed to by Secretary Olney. These provide for the settlement of almost all causes except those that affect the 'fhonor and integrity of the country" !" The articles provide for the establish ment of permanent commission con- sisting of two or more judicial officers from each government, who shall choose an umpire These shall have power to determine finally complaints made by the nationals of one power against the officers of the other; all pecuniary claims or group of claims amounting to not more than G100,0OC made on either power by the nationals of the other, whether based on an al legged right by treaty or agreement, ol otherwise; all claims for damage or in demnity under the said amount; all questions affecting diplomatic or con sular privileges; all alleged rights o1 fishery, access, navigation, or com mercial privilege, and all question. refered by special agreement between the two parties"
 The method of deciding what dis putes affect the honor and integrity O the country and the manner of settling them constitute the main point at is sue between Lord Salisbury and Sec retary Olney.
