DAMAGE BY WATER
Easements Flooded and Cutters
Overflow.
The Heavens Uncorked Over Mankatt
and Surrounding Country Friday
Evening.

At shortly before five O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, clouds Of inky
blackness formed on the western hor-
lion and quickly overspread the sky.
Ii appeared for a few moments as
though Mankato was to be visited by
a severe wind storm, but the clouds
soon passed to the northwest. Half
an hour later, rain began to fall, and
it came down in torrents at intervals
until about eleven o'clock The
heaviest rainfall was at the begin
ming, shortly before six O'Clock.
There was very little wind, and the
rain seemed to come down in streams.
NJ. L. Lockerby reports that the rain
fall for the twenty-four hours ending
at eleven o'clock was three and three
Fights inches, which is remarkably
great for so short period Of time.

Easements Flooded.

Severed Easements were flooded by
six o'clock, but not much damage
from this cause is reported.
The basement of the Glass Block
had four inches of water in 1T by six
o'clock. This water ran in from the
Front street gutter, under the side
walk, and also through the sewer,
which was unable to carry off all Of
the rain water and burst out on the
rear of the first floor. The water
spouted up foot high and ran down
the elevator opening to the base
ment. No goods were damaged, but
the basement will be damp for some
time.
Rosenberger Il Curriers' basement
was flooded again. The water work.
ed its way from the cutters at the
corner of Second and Walnut streets
under the sidewalk to the area win
dows. The water backed up nearly
three feet deep against the front cor
ner area window, which was forced in
by the pressure, the Stats holding il
giving away. The water then enter
ed the basement with a rush, sweep
ing aside everything before it. The
catch basins in the floor were quickly
opened and the water was swept into
them. The only damage which the
firm suffered was in rendering some of
the candy ingredients damp. This
flood occurred at about six O'Clock,
and continued for half an hour.
Fred Kron's basement received a
slight baptism, but no damage was
done to the stock. The rainwater
from the roof is carried off in the
sewer, land the pipe was not sufficiently
large. When it had filed with water,
the pressure broke off a trap in the
basement, allowing the water to es-
cape, The matter was quickly rene
died by breaking the pipe from the
roof and leading the water outside.
A. B. Ewing's basement and rear Of
the first floor were flooded at supper
time and a quantity of sugar, coffee,
rice and oatmeal got a soaking. He
places his loss at 5000. The water
came in from the alley.
The city is not liable for damages
in any of these cases, it is believed.

Streets Washed Out,

A flood OF water came down East
Warren street, from Glenwood avenue,
and washed out the grading to a con-
siderable extent. The water con-
tinued on down to Broad street, where
it filled the cutters on both sides
leading to the catch basins over War
rem creek. Another flood poured down
from upper Broad street to these
catch basins, and the latter proved
entirely unequal to the demand made
upon them. The one On the west
side OF the street became clogged, and
the water crossed the sidewalk and
threatened to wash out the retaining
wall, which it probably would have
done had the rain continued much
longer.
The water backed up in the canal
between the bouleYarding and over
flowed the boulevarding on the east
side of the street.
A weak point in the scheme for car
ryipg off the surface water was de-
veloped by this storm, which should
be remedied by the city. 1t is apparent
that two catch basins should be
constructed on Warren creek,
through the culyert With ope on
on each side of the street there,
all Of the water from Glenwood ave-
nue. would be taken care Of, and there
would be no danger OF flooding pro.
perty along Broad street. The catch
basins over Warren creek on Broad
street should he enlarged to meet all
demands upon them. The rain of
last evening was not a circumstance
to rains that have fallen ir the past,
within the memory of Broad street
residents, and the city should take
every step necessary TO prepare for
the heaviest rain that has ever fallen,
and not for ordinary rains.
Silver ravine road did not suffer
much from the rain.
The new Main street stone drain
worked to perfection. 1t was not
more than half filed with water at
any time.

ROE'S CASE.
He Swallows a Gold Ring From
His Finger.
Charged With Insanity and
Handed Over to the Care of
the Sheriff.

Rasmus H. Roe. who created a SEN
satiOn Thursday evening by jumping
from window of an Omaha pas
senger coach two miles north of the
city while the train was going thirty
miles an hour, performed another IN
accountable feat while locked in his
cell at the city hall last evening.
He took gold ring from his finger
and swallowed it. He did not inform
the officials Of what he had done until
this morning, when he told Chief
Wagon that he had swallowed his
ring and wanted to know whether
the Official thought that it would kill
him. Mr.. Wagon told him that a
man who had gone through what he
had couldn't be killed so easily. and
this seemed to reassure Roe.
Mr.. Wagon asked Roe why he had
swallowed the ring, and the young
man replied that he had heard people
in the adjoining room talking about
hanging him, and had heard "a chain
clank, and he swallowed his ring. In
further conversation, he said that he
was unconscious all day yesterCa y.
He says that he fell from the train.
and says there is something back of
the whole matter that he is not per-
mitted to tell. 1t is believed that
when Roe swallowed his ring he was
in the same mental condition as when
he jumped from the train, and that
these spells come upon him.
DR.. Warner and Evan Hughes
put Roe through course of ques-
tioning today and learned that he
has been passed on from place to
place, and has thus travelled through
Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa
before coming to Minnesota. He
started from Illinois. The reason
why he left the farmers near Mime
apolis was that he was advised to 60
to hospital, and he sought one in
the Flour City. He claims to be anx-
ious to work and to save his money,
but that, not being strong, he is not
kept in employmint long at a time.
This afternoon, Chief Wagon swore
out a charging Roe with insanity and
turned it over to the sheriff's office to
serve. This will result in the taking
Of the prisoner out of Mr.. Wagons
hands and his being placed in the
custody Of the sheriff.
1t was the intention to examine
Roe as to his sanity this afternoon.
and if found to be insane, of which
there seems to be no doubt, to wire
the secretary of the state board of
corrections and charities and have
State Agent Gates sent to the city to
escort Roe back to the state from
which he came. This is in accor-
dance with the provisions of the new
law.
Roe still complains somewhat of be-.
ing dizzy when he stands up, and
spends his time lying down. He eats
well.

The exact damage is not reported,
but it is evident that it will be
considerable.
Mrs Pechtel, Of Lamberton, ar
rived in the city this morning and re-
ports that a regular cloud burst &C.
Cured in the vicinity of Springfield
and Sleepy Eye. The fields are all
under water, which comes up to the
stacks. A vast amount of water fell
there. The threatening clouds, that
filed many of our people with alarm
for few moments, seem to have dis
charged their contents there. Sleepy
Eye is about forty-tive miles north
west of Mankato.

TELEPHONE EXTENSIONS.
The Northwestern Company at Work on
Two Lines Near MankatO.

The Northwestern Telephone Ex-
change Co. is at work on two extern
sions of it's long distance system in
this vicinity. Two crews of men are
at work on an extension of the line
from Lake Crystal to Winnebago City
along the Gilmore branch of the
Omaha road. One crew is at work at
each end, and it is expected that the
work viii be completed in thirty
days.
A line is being put in from Mankato
to Tracy, and the men who are at
work on it have pushed it as far as
Nicollet on the way TO Tracy. 1t is
hoped to complete this line within
sixty days.
When these two extensions are con-
pected up, Mankato will have still
better facilities for reaching and do
ing business with other sections of
the southern part of the state.

GRAINNOT INJURED
The Rain May Not Damage the
Crops.
Half the Wheat Crop, in This Case, Will
Grade No. One...MOre Thresh-
ing Reports.

The grain dealers in this city are
not apprehensive as to the effect OF
the heavy rainfall upon the quality
of the wheat in shock. They say
that if the rains ceases within two or
three days, no harm will result, but II
they continue week, with Ot,sultry
wea Gher, sprOuting may begin, which
would reduce The grade. Some far
mers vino were seen today also cor
rOboraJed this.
r. d. Hubbard, when seen by a
Free Press reporter, stated that no
damage will result 10 the wheat un-
less the rains continue, with hot sun
shine between showers. In case that
the worst happens, the wheat will go
down two grades, what would other
wise be No 2 being marked down TO
No. 4. Wheat that is not yet cut Will
be krinkly and will not grade high.
Mr.. Hubbard states that one. half of
the wheat crop in this section will
grade No. l, and the greater part OF
the balance No. 2, with considerable
No. 3. Very little new wheat has
been received at the big mill, and
threshing reports are meager.
Orange Little corrobOrates what
Mr.. Hubbard says in regard to the un-
likelihood of damage to wheat In
shock from the rain. The rain of
Thursday night dried off so quickly
that farmers were stacking yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Little does not
believe that il will be necessary to
open the shocks to dry. but believes
that they will dry out rapidly after
the sun comes out. In any event, he
does not believe that the grain would
be graded down more than one point.
Mr.. Little believes that consider
able more than half of the wheat in
this section will grade No. l, and that
practically all of the balance will go
No. 2. He has received very little Of
this years wheat and heard few re-
ports from the threshers. Wheat is
of unusually heavy weight this year,
he states.
Peter Ulman, of MankatO township,
threshed an eight acre field of wheat
and secured 23S bushels. Had but two
bushels more been secured, the weld
would have been thirty bushels to the
acre. This wheat was marketed yes
terday and graded No. 1 and brought
Sc cents per bushel, or almost $40 an
acre. Mr.. Ulman's farm is near the
poor farm.
Another farmer, whose name we
did not learn, secured a yield Of 253
bushels off from eight acres, or al
most 80 bushels to the acre Of No.
l wheat.
Patrick Sheehan. of Lake Washing
ton. has threshed his large field OF
wheat and secured yield of oyer sc
bushels to the acre of No. wheat.
Anton Meme, of Lime township.
secured No. wheat, but we did not
learn the yield.

CAPITULATION

WASHINGTON, Aug. S-Although as
yet without official confirmation of the
report that the Spanish government
has decided to accept terms laid down
by the United States as essential to
the negotiation of a treaty of peace the
officials here are proceeding under the
conviction that the end has come and
are giving attention to the steps to be
taken next. In view of the delay in
coming to this conclusion the idea was
beginning to prevail that the Spanish
government was about to enter plea
in abatement and that the answer
would again be inconclusive. In this
case the president was disposed to
Deal Firmly With the Issue,
to give notice that our proposals were
withdrawn and to let it be understood
that when Spain again sued for peace
the conditions would be more severe
than those first laid down. If the
Spanish answer should embody an
effort to secure any material change in
the conditions it will meet with prompt
rejection. Should it be an acceptance
negotiations may be necessary to agree
upon steps to be taken to lead to an
agreement. The probable course is q
military capitulation by the captain
generals of Cuba and Porto Rico,
which will Immediately place the
American military or naval command.

the American Demands.
LONDON, Aug. S.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Daily Mail says: The
answer of the Spanish government de.
cl&res that Spain cannot discuss the
American proposals but only accepts
them because they are imposed on her
by force. Only few unessential
changes in the American demands
were asked for and it is not expected
that Mckinley will refuse them.
A commission composed of Spaniards
and Americans will decide the question
of the Cuban debt, the dates and man.
ner of evacuating Cuba and Porto Rico
and the protection of Spaniards and
Spanish interests in these places. The
commission will also decide whether
Spain is to be allowed to withdraw her
artillery and the remainder of her arms
and ammunition from the colonies,
while the question of the future OF the
Philippines will be settled by the same
BODY.

Sept. 9.-Impressive funeral services
were held at o'clock this morning over
the remains of Naval Cadet Thomas H.

ton D. Kirkpatrick, First United States
cavalry, who were drowned while bath
ing Wednesday afternoon.
The caskets containing the bodies
were placed on a bench in front of Cen
eral Wheeler's headquarters. Young
Wheeler's casket was directly in front
of the tent which he had occupied and
covering it was a handsome American
flag with gold fringe. Lieutenant Kirk
patrick's coffin was also covered by an
American flag. A detail from the Third

General Wheeler, his daughters and
chief mourners. Rev. Archibald Brad
shaw, chaplain of the Hist provisional

read the burial service At the con-
clusion Of the service the caskets were
placed on two gun caissons drawn by
two black horses.
