Serious Damage by Lightning and
by Rain Reported.

MANKATO, Mimi, June 11.-(special)

afternoon lightning struck the telephone
wire at the gas plant, in this city, caus-
ing an explosion and burning out about
half the entire plant. The loss will
probably be about $1,000, with an insur-
ance of 5000. The engineer in charge
escaped without injury.
The rainfall today was about three
inches, and the Minnesota river rose
two feet this afternoon. Lightning un-
doubtedly struck several places in this
vicinity, but none have yet been reported
here.

have fallen in this section OF the Mis-

pletely at a standstill, no trains having
arrived or departed since noon, and there
is no prospect of any before tomorrow
noon. The Chicago & Northwestern has
two iron bridges off their foundations
west of here, and a bad washout east.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul has a
bridge out at Homer. just south of this
city, and bad washouts between here and
Red Wing. The Chicago, Burlington Sc

-FOUR FEET TO GO YET.
River Is High, but Not Yet Close to
Danger Line.

Uanger Line.
The rising stage Of water in the river
has considerably increased the expanse
of water In West ST. Paul visible from
the bridges, but no serious damage Is
threatened to property as yet Last even
ing the stage was still under ten feet and
the danger line is at fourteen, so that
full four feet rise is possible yet without
any great loss.
At Minneapolis however, the denizens
of the West side flats are somewhat un-
easy, as the water has encroached to
extent on their holdings already.

Yellow Journalism.

Despite the general outcry against
so-called yellow journalism, appar-
emily highly colored accounts of cur
rent events is a phrase of newspaper
work which is not wholly without
beneficial results. Previous to the
breaking out of the recent war be-
tween the United States and Spain,
press dispatches depicting the bar
barity which characterized the con-
duct of the Spanish authorities in
Cuba, were received with incredulity
by the general reader. Yet, SO per-
sistent was the press in the reitera-
ton of these charges that they were
made the subject of an official in
vestigation by the United States
government. The investigation
fully corroborated the most sensa-
tional press reports of Spanish cruel
ties toward both Cubans and Amer
lean citizens residing in Cuba. This
investigation was supplemented by
visits of Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress to the island of
Cuba for the purpose of making a
personal investigation as individuals
with a view to satisfying themselves.
Their verdict was to the effect that
what had seemed to be the most
grossly exaggerated newspaper re-
ports of the situation of affairs in
Cuba were no exaggerations at all,
and for the cause Of humanity and
a sorely oppressed people, the war
followed. In this instance, yellow
journalism so-called, while combining
itself to the truth contributed large
ly toward the shaping of events
which will result in the ameliora-
ton of the condition of millions of
people.
Yellow journalism also rendered
the American people valuable SER
vice in directing public attention to
a shameful incompetency in the war
during the war, an in
competency which cost the lives of
mora SO1diers than were taken nv
Spanish bullets. Had the investi-
CATION which followed been as thor
ough as the President indicated a
hope that it would be, the result
would have been such a storm of
righteous indignation on the part of
the people as to have brought about
early innovation in the military de-
partment that would greatly enhance
its efficiency, and improve the man
ner in which soldiers, both sick and
well, are cared for. The war invest
igation commission did not prove
itself equal to the task which it I'M
dertook. Had it done its whole duty
it would have taken the testimony
of hundreds of volunteers whose evil
dence would have amply justified
the charges made by the sensational
press.

temperance meeting.)
The body in its weakness is a great
source of temptation to US, and we
should not allow ourselves to be guild
ed by it's passions and desires, regard
less Of what we know about right and
wrong. We must have it under the
control of the will,
To properly keep the body under
the power Of the will, we must be
spiritually minded. 1t is true there
are other ways of temperate living,
but the only way by which we can
gain Gods approval, is by living for
Him and having aspirations that
reach above self.
The spiritual man who prevents his
body from interfering with his spirit
uality, will find that the desires which
tend to draw him down will lose
their hold on him; yet we need
to keep constant guard over ourselves
against all influences which lead
downward. Paul never failed to be
on the watch for these influences, lest

the larger part of a railways earnings
is derived from the transportation of
freight. The costs Of running the
roads amounts to from 65 to 70 per
cent of the gross earnings, and the
managers say it costs more than 9
cents mile to carry passengers, con-
sequently If the state legislature pass
es a law for 2 cent fare the roads
must run passenger trains at loss.
The bill to give a fixed sum of
S26S,000 to the University instead
of seventeen-fortieths of mill, and
$4,000 to the normal schools in
lieu of the nineteen-sixtieths of a
mill seems valid proposition mas
much as the amounts are definite,
whereas the mill tax depends upon
the varying scale of biennial assessed
valuation. The States assessment
valuation is now placed at S600,000,-
600, but the real valuation is prob
ably more than double that amount
and may at any time be so rated for
basis of taxes. In that case the
sum realized from the mill taxes
would be doubled.
The legislature has made progress
during the last week and has cleared
the calendar of number of bills
while many others have had consid-
Grafton and are well along toward
the end of their destiny.
The senate disposed of some sixty
or more bills, killing about half of
them. 1t passed large number of
bills, the most of them either of a
private or local application or of
little significance in a general sense.
Among the more important bills
passed was the pubic patronage bill
by 16 to 10; the bill requiring en-
ployers of women to furnish seats
passed unanimously, as was also
the bill to abolish the land office
Last Friday there were of assembly
bills, 81 in committee; SO postpon-
ed; 65 passed with II conquered in
and 81 pending in the senate.
During the past week the assembly
has cleared its calendar of so or
more bills the most important of
which is the anti-pasS resolution.
This resolution which had gone
through the senate with practical
unanimity was passed by the as
sembly on Tuesday with a forfeit
ure of office amendment, the vote
being SO for, to 81 againsG, with Is
absent. This sends the resolution
back to the senate. The resolution
provides for the submission to
the people as an amendment
to the constitution provision
that no public official shall use a
pass with the penalty of forfeiture
of his office. The majority Of the
committee had recommended the
resolution of the senate which omit
ted the forfeiture clause. Assembly
man Wheeler, chairman of the COM
mittee, pleaded that the reason the
majority of the Judiciary committee
had reported against a forfeiture of
office clause was that the members
of the majority were opposed to
making a penal code of the constitu-
ton. He asserted that there were
no penalties in the constitution for
any purpose, that these were wisely
left to the determination of the leg
islature.
