of deep mourning to fall over Iceboro.
Capt. Babcock had host of friends in

No words can fully describe our deep
feeling for him and his family in their

The Flag Question.

Four or five men in the city ha II a
few weeks ago clipped in and will
raise a flag over the building as is
proper over public place. Their
action has caused considerable COM
ment and the question of a large flag
in the city square has been discussed.
The men who are putting up a city
hall flag are doing II at their own eX-
peuse and the council merely pays for
the pole which supports It,
When John Walters got pole for
the hall, he got plenty and there is
one oak timber nearly 40 feet long
which will he available for the park
flag. Pieces of pipe can be fitted and
screwed on the top of this butt and a
80 or 100 foot staff erected which will
be permanent. a subscription paper
should be started at once and every
one should donate his mite to the
cause. Nearly all the cities and towns
are having flag raising and LOLA should
not be behiud in tho procession.

COON CREEK SPREE.
Sundays Rain Sent The lrresponsl-
Bile Ravine Off on Rampage.


Once upon a time man wrote a
poem about "How the waters came
down at Lodoreu and it was very
Interesting, but not nearly so much
so as would be an account of how the
water came in through the door on
Sunday, May Is.
The furious downpour on sunday
afternoon turned the streets into
lakes, the cutters into mill races, the
ravines into floods. The water in
the northeast part of town congested
at the Thomson House corner and
flowed in waterfalls over the cross
ings, backing up on Bowlus's side
walk 30 as to interfere seriously with
Sunday promenaders who broke from
cover as soon as the rain ceased. No
one thought much about the heavy
downpour until it was all over and
the water began coming down the
streets all over town and then the
thought of Coon creek and what 1t
must be doing caused general STAN
pede to the north part of town,
There were probably 500 or 600 people
lined up on the Mo. Pac. railroad
track which bounded the flood on the
south, watching the whirling waters.
From far up toward its source,
down through town clear to the Santa
Fe tracks, the water was out of the
ravine banks and spread over the
adjoining territory for half a block
each way. After crossing North
street on it's westward course, the
flood struck the Mo. Pac. grade and
was thrown back to the north for q
block. A tent which has stood near
the track on high ground was sur
rounded by foot of water. The
family had climbed into the wagon
standing near aud supper was being
prepared over an oil stove while the
angry food ragged beneath. The
water reached the bridges along
the track, but they all held, A piece
of sidewalk next to Mr.. Browns on
North Washington was washed
away. Buckets, wood, barrels, out
houses, boxes fioated promiscuously
down the current. The first house
north of the railroad on n. Walnut
is occupied by Mr.. Wright, Fitz-
gerald's dray-man. The water rose
until it Tapped over the door sill and
then receded, having broken over the
railroad track. Household goods
were carried out and men and women
waded to high ground through three
feet of water. Small boys with
trousers rolled out of sight beneath
their coats, waded gleefully. The
flood rose rapidly-an inch in five
minutes-and went down at the same
rate. Anxious glances were cast at
the threatening eastern sky, where
thunder and lightning rumbled and
flashed, but the crowd retired as soon
as the chance of excitement was over

How IL Happened.

The Moran Herald explains how a
certain news item appeared in the
DAILY REGISTER the next day after
it happened, which was supposed to
be a dead secret for six months to
come.
At the NJ. Il. Parsonage Sunday
evening at p, M, Mr.. Dean Allison
and Miss Nettle Reed, two of Iola's
most esteemed young peopls, were
married, Rev Reace "tieing the
knot" 1t was the desire of these
young people to keep this event Sc
cret for several weeks and so instruct
cd Rev Reace but when anyone who
Is connected with newspaper, and
could from the door OF his place of
abode, look through the window of
the house where two hearts were be-
ing made to beat as one, and see the
ceremony performed, and not max g
any inquiries as To who the couple
might he, they would not be loyal to
their profession. Accordingly q Her
aid man who was thus situated, made
such inquiries, but as the minister
was under oath not to divulge as they
supposed the great secret. he was re-
fused any such information. This,
however, was not the last resort ia
ascertain the information desired and
little further inquiry revealed the
"dead secret handsomely. This hap
