The King Won the Pool.

Paul Neumann, once attorney gen
eral of the Hawaiian Islands, used
to be fond of telling anecdotes about
some of the royal games of poker
A favorite tale referred to the perl
Cd of the rebellion which came near
unseating the monarch. a big jack
pot was in progress when messen-
gers arrived with the information
that riot was in progress. 1t was
decided to go home the moment the
pot was ended AS the king placed
his final bet on the board the report
of the guns was heard.
Run for your lives!' cried Kala-
kaua, Out rushed the players, Kala-
kaua with them. About half way
home he made them stop and play
out the unfinished jack pot. And, do
you know, said Mr.. Neumann, Eve
were so nervous that the king ran
in the joker for an ACC and scooped
the money with an alleged hand of
four aces. After the riot was over
we discovered tho trick, but as he
had been IL loser all summer it was
hardly good form to say anything.

WaterspOut in Colorado Causes the Loss
 of Many Lives.
 MORRISON, Col, July 25--A cloud burst in Bear Creek canyon, just above here at eight o'clock last night, brought down solid wall of water ten feet high, which not only did great damage to property, but caused the loss of l5 or 20 lives. The known dead are: Mrs. Miller and three children; n party of campers, l5 or IS in mum Der, who were living in small house just below them. Viola Foster. a little Denver girl who was with this party, was saved at a point half mile below their camp by people who heard her cries. This much has been leaaned on this side of the creek, but as all bridges are gone and the water is still high and swift, nothing can be learned from the other side.
 At Golden the worst storm in its his tory broke upon that city at eight o'clock. Three lives are known to be lost and thousands of dollars worth of property is destroyed. The dead are: A. A. Johnson and wife and Mrs. Ed wards. The Johnsons were carried down with their home. Mrs. Edwards was milking in the barn when the building was swept away.
 News is anxiously awaited from up the canyon. as it is believed there has been heavy loss of life.

A BOY HERO.

AdOlph Koch Rescues Child from the
 Wheels of n Trolley Car.
 CHICAGO. July 24.-Adolph Koch be. came hero yesterday. He put his own life in jeopardy in daring and dramatic rescue and snatched child from the jaws of death. With horse and buggy he dashed across the path of flying trolley car, bent over in his flight and like a trained Cossack picked four-year-old boy from under the merciless wheels, escaping death himself by the fraction of second and the space of few inches. Spec tators who had been transfixed in breathless horror by the danger of the boy playing heedlessly in front of the oncoming car broke into cheers when his rescuer swept into safety behind frightened runaway horse, but with the astonished child in his grasp.

A Chicago Expedition N hich Expects Great

 CHICAGO, July 2l.-The principals in an astronomical expedition which. men of science say, is the most i'm. portant one planned for more than half century, left Chicago last night for Flagstaff, Ariz, to go eventually to Mexico These gentlemen carried with them the best lens in the world, those of the Lick telescope and of the un' finished Yerkes telescope excepted. Under the favorable atmospheric and climatic conditions to be found in Arizona and Mexico, the best known to astronomers on this continent, they expect to add volumes to the history of the planet Mars and to make the most systematic survey ever attempted of the sidereal systems which whirl through space around the southern hemisphere.

the same time with it, for the reasons that most of the members have relatives who are members of the grand army and it is a matter of convenience that the meetings be held at the same time and in the same city. The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic are espe- cially strong in Pennsylvania, outnum- bering the Woman's Relief corps in that state, but the latter are much stronger numerically throughout the United States. Both organizations promise to hold interesting meetings and to carry out varied programmes.
 The present officers of the Grand Army of the Republic are Ivan N. Walker, commander in chief; Irwin Robbins, adjutant general, and A. J. Burbank, quartermaster general; and these officers are kept busy arranging for the coming gathering, Quartermas- ter General Burbank, whose headquar- ters are in Chicago, is especially active ir promoting the work and giving his attention to its details.
 Naturally enough, and as always is the case in advance of the encamp- ment, greatest concern focuses about the selection of successor to Conn mander in Chief Walker. Three candi- dates are in the field and nominations would seem to have closed. Tine aspir- ants for the place are T. S. Clarkson, of Omaha; Daniel k. BcIlou, of Rhode Island, and John Linchan, of New Hampshire. All of these men have eX. cellent war records, and are worthy and good citizens.
 Mir. Clarkson was originally from Illinois, from which state he entered the army in 1861. Going west after the war he has prospered in business, he being a very successful and astute broker of Omaha. He would seem to be the most formidable candidate for the position. At last years, encamp- CT in chief. but the sentiment for Mir. Walker was so strong that in the in- terest of harmony he withdrew. There is a widespread feeling among his com rades, especially in the west, that this action, together with Mir. Clarkson's record as soldier and citizen, entities him to the distinction. All that mili- tates against the success of Mir. Clark son is the fact that those of the past five commanders in chief were western men, but as an offset to this the wess is the great recruiting ground of the grand army. In this portion of the country is greater enthusiasm, and the preponderance of acquisitions to the order is from the geographical region which Mir. Clarkson represents. He is n man about 55 years of age, is affable in manner, makes friends, and holds them, and possesses in strong degree those qualities which go to make up the successful leader. He has courage, tact. organizing qualities and knows how to control himself as we'll as to direct others. He has legions of friends

bodies at St. Paul, both of these having association with, or rather. growing out 't the former organization. The first end older of these is the WomaR's Relief corps, composed of wives, sisters, mothers and daughters of the veterans, and the name suggests the object of the body, it being to afford succor to old soldiers and their families whenever they may be in need. The president of the Woman's Relief corps is Mrs. Liza heth A. Turner, of Boston.
 The other organization is the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, Mrs. Catherine E. Hirst, of Louisville. president. It's scope is the same as that of the Woman's Relief corps. but any loyal woman is eligible to membership, whether or not her father. brother, hus- hand or son was soldier in the late war. Both of these organizations are entirely Independent of the Grand Army of the "epublic, although they both meet at

who are enthusiastic over his candi. dacy and who predict that he will be elected by an overwhelming majority. Mir. Bellou's candidacy is somewhat interfered with in the fact that Mir. Linehan also halls from New England, that section naturally dividing its strength between the two. He enlisted as private in the Twelfth Rhode Island infantry and was afterwards promoted to lieutenantcy. His war record is q clean one, and covers the four years of strife. Since the war he has practiced his profession. that of law. in which he has been very successful. Mir. Bellou has long been actively identified with the grand army. he, like the other two candidates, having filled the positions of post and department commander. man. whose merit qualities him emi- nently for the position to which he aspires.
 Mir. Linehan has long been active in grand army circles in New Hampshire, and, in fact, throughout New England. He is man of about 50, held in high rePute by his neighbors and most zeal GUS in furthering all matters in which the old soldiers are interested.
 The encampment may we'll felicitate itself upon the fact that it has such worthy and good men from whom to make choice. A great deal of quiet work is being done by the candidates and their friends, especially among the various posts throughout the United States, but Mir. Clarkson seems mani- festly in the lead. The aim of the grand army has always been to have regard to the various localities, and, following this practice, the office would go this year to an eastern man. But Mir. Clarkson is so popular, so eminently fitted for the position and so thorough Iy in touch with the order and it's mem- bers that it is not believed he can pos sibly be beaten. At least that is the way his friends talk, and they are will ing to stake money on their judgment Tn this matter.
 Meantime every possible care is prom ised by the St. Paul people and the off, cers of the grand army that no possi- ble thing shall be omitted the supplying of which will conduce to the comfort and convenience of the soldiers.
