FOREST Fires CHECKED
Rain Ayerts Greater Damage
in the Northwest.
LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED
Thirteen Persons Said TO Have Per-
ished, While the Fate of Many of
jectured-The LOSSES Will Amount
10 About Three Million Dollars.

81. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 3o-Rain has come
TO the rescue of the timber districts and
lumber towns in this district and in South
Dakota, and the forest fires that threat
ened greater destruction to cities and
forests have been partially extinguished.
Shortly after midnight a rain set in and
continued for an hour or more.
Reports received here this morning in
dicate that the worst is over, but precau-
tions will not be relaxed.
1t is impossible TO estimate the loss.
Three million dollars may not cover it.
Telegraphic communication with some of
the stricken towns is still interrupted.
Clayton Clear Lake, Alameda, anu
Posi1in were almost wiped out, but many
OF the residents managed to save a good
portion OF their household goods. Late
reports from Barron say that place was
still in danger, but il is probable that the
critical period is now passed.
The loss to standing pine in Chippewa
County, Wis, is enormous. The report
that five children were burned to death
al Cumberland cannot be confirmed
Glenwood, Wis, has passed the danger
point, but a twelve-hours, fight with the
flames was necessary to avert entire de-
struction.
Cedar Lake Dam suffered severely
many buildings being burned at and near
that place. The dam was also destroyed.
Among the heaviest losses at Cedar Lake
Dam is that OF Knapp, Stout, x Co,
whose large lumber barns and other
buildings were burned.
Rice Lake Wis, narrowly escaped be
ing wiped out, sixteen farm houses on the
outskirts being destroyed.
Hundreds are homeless. The fate of
many settlers in the forests can only
be conjectured.
Fire departments in the big cities have
been appealed TO for assistance and are
ready TO go if they are needed
Near Chippewa Falls, Mrs. Jacob Cor
reson was burned TO death while fight
ing the forest fires yesterday. Her two
children, while attempting TO save her,
were badly burned.
Passengers on the Wisconsin Central
train. which arrived at Chippewa Falls
last night report that the train passed
through an almost continuous sea Of fire.
There is TO wind, and further spread
OF the flames seems improbable. The
damage at Cumberland is now placed at
SI25.0G0, and it is stated at noon that
seven lives were lost.
This report cannot be verified.

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept, 30-The -infinites-
sinai contingent of malcontents who
seem dissatisfied with the results of the
Democratic convention yesterday are fast
losing faith in their strength TO substan-
tiate their grievances. About a baker 5
dozen of them left here this morning to
attend a convention TO be held tonight

The nomination of man who voted
for Bryan at the Presidential! election

be taken by the dissatisfied element is
embraced in a cipher
There has been some talk of the nomi-
nation of O. F. Snyder, of Buffalo, as a

ents will deem II wise to ignore disposi-
tion TO display grievances and avoid ex-
pense and humiliation by declining to en-

TOD SLoANE'S SUCCESSES.
Triumpbs of the American locke
on the English Turf.

London, Sept. SO.-The average of win
ming mounts made by Tod Sloane, the
American jockey. is said to have never
been beaten in England. His successes
have created strong feeling of jeal-
ousy among the other jockeys. some of
whom. it is said tried to treat him un-
fairly at Manchester. and when Sloane
won, their bitterness increased. Sloane's
successes have been so great that the
upsters are now selling his mounts.
Sloane won the first race at Newmarket
today on Lord William Beresford's and
Pierre Lorillard's Draco, and also won
on Lord William Beresford's Manatee 1t

continuous wins have created. He gen.

COL. BRYAN GOES DRIVING.
Friends Present Him With n Hand
some Basket of Flowers


Col. William j. Bryan was able to go
for short drive yesterday afternoon.
but spent the rest of the day in bed in
obedience to the orders of his physician.

Der of visitors, including Representative

stantly during the day, and will remain

land Democratic Association presented
Col. Bryan with magnificent basket OF
roses as a token of their respect, love
and esteem"
On the card accompanying the flora
offering was the following:
I'VE appreciate your unselfish devotion
to human liberty everywhere, which
prompted you to sacrifice your personal
comfort and safety to aid the cause oi
liberty in the island of Cuba, and to drive
Spanish barbarism and misrule forever
from the Western Hemisphere. Where
fore we ask you to accept this slight
token of our regard and esteem, believ-
ing that in presenting il we are but max
ing a physical manifestation of the i'm
pulses and promptings of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the people of Maryland
and the country toward him whom they
trust and love-.
The basket was six feet tall and -four
feet wide, filed with American beauties
and Kaiserine Augusta roses, and few
plants of begonia rex. The edge of the
basket was trimmed with Flora Hill and
trump carnations. The handle was OF
asparagus and American beauty roses.
1t was all the work of Jos. K. Freeman
the Thirteenth Street florist.

suit the First Nebraska Regiment, now
in Manila as to its wishes In regard to
being mustered out. If this regiment Is
willing to remain in service the Third
