Special to the indianapolis Journal.
EAGLE LAKE, Ind, Aug. 1.-Winona,
fresh from her a of yesterday, looked
more beautiful than ever to-day. Long be-
fore the cottagers were up men and teams
were busy repairing the damage the deluge
had wrought and before the sun went down
the results of the storm were almost OBJ
liberated. The hydraulic rams were put in
working order and the dozens of springs
once more run clear.
There was a small panic at church serV-
ice last night when it seemed that another
electrical storm was approaching. The
auditorium roof is supported by iron frame
work and is heavily wired for electric
lights. Prof. DinSmore, an electrical eX-
pert, announced that in his opinion the
building was not safe in such a storm as
was evidently approaching. This caused
many to stay away. and those present were
plainly agitated. When Manager Dickey
was informed Of the state of affairs he
asked Mr.. Marshall to begin a song service
with the chorus choir, and the young peo-
pie sang hymns Justify until the storm had
passed. 1t was a remarkable instance OF
the power of music.
The days programme opened, as usual,
with devotional exercises and a praise
service for preservation from the fury Of
the storm. The morning lecture hour was
taken by Prof. Thomas H. Dinsmore, who
delivered an address on THE Evolution OF
Chemistry" He traced the course of the
science from the time when it was simply
a hunt for the philosophers stone to the
present day. The most interesting part of
his discourse was his reference to the re-
cent announcement of DR.. Emmons of New
York, who has made gold out Of MEXICAN
dollars by cold and impact. Prof. Dins-
more declared that, while the discovery, If
true, would be little short of marvellous, it
would be inconceivable that q scientist Of
DR.. Emmons'S standing would be capable OF
decetVing either himself or the public con-
corning the facts of his discovery. Prof.
DinsmOre read TO the audience the editorial
recently published in the Indianapolis Jour
nal concerning DR.. Emrnons's discovery and
it is evidently his opinion that DR.. En-
mons can do what he claims.
r. e. Stacy. state secretary of the Y. M.
c. A. arrived to-day to complete arrange
ments for the first annual vacation en-
campment for young men, to be given
under the auspices of the executive COM
mitCee of the state organization, Aug. i

ground to-day at the south end OF Chicago
hill. il is an ideal place for a camp, and
several hundred young men are expected;

also for the Winona Bible school, which
will be held at the same time.
