struction Of other crops, fencing, stock
and bridges will be $4,000, 900, while the
loss to the railroads is probably 1,000,-
600, making total of S., 500, 600.
Reports received from 10 counties
show a loss Of 81 lives from drowning.

NEGOTIATING FOR PEACE.

Friendly Filipinos Are Bearers of Mes
sages Between Americans and Rebels.
MANILA, July (via Hong Kong,
July 1O.)-Friendly Filipinos in Manila
have been the medium of communion
ton between the American authorities
and the military leaders of the insurrec-
ton in the Cavite province, which for
some time resulted III bringing over a
prominent general and several hundred
OF his followers. If the negotiations
had succeeded the action would have
had great moral effect, for others would
doubtless have followed. Were the
generals name given it might lead, in
his case, to similar fate as that of
others suspected of friendliness to the
Americans.
h He had foreseen the failure of the in
surrection and advised Aguinaldo to
make terms, but it is understood that
he has sent word to the Americans that
having sworn to support the insurrec-
ton he must remain loyal to the end.
Similar negotiations it is said are under
consideration by member of the cab
met Of the so-called Filipino government,
who himself took the initiative Some
form of money consideration figured in
the discussions with his friends.

Plans for a Great Forestry reserve In
Northern Minnesota.
CHICAGO, July 1O.-A national park
or forestry reserve association for the
governmental preservation of over
z, OOO, 600 acres of land in northern Min
nesota will be formed in Chicago this
month. The project is made doubly
important through the fact that the
friends and promoters of the reserve
have also in view the placing under gov
ornamental charge all Of the lands sur
rounding the headwaters of the historic
Mississippi river. The tract includes
the Leech lake district and embraces
the counties of Grow Wing, Aitken,
Wadena, Hubbard, Beltrama and Itasca,

Havoc Wrought by Flood.

ANakEToN, Tex, July lo.-All the
streets Of this town are under two or
three feet of water. Very few lives
have been lost in this vicinity, but the
losses of live stock and crops will be
heavy. Cattle along the Bastrop have
been drowned by the thousands. The
destruction in Oyster creek valley is alb
solutely complete. Negroes cabins
have been washed away by the dozens
and the poor blacks are absolutely penni-
less, homeless and hungry. The Brazos
now extends from Caney, in Matagorda
county, on the west to Chocolate on the
east, distance of 35 miles, and has car
ried complete destruction and desola-
ton with it. Absolutely nothing is left
which was touched by the flood.

Platform Gives wav.

CLEVELAND, July 1o.-During the
laying Of the cornerstone Of a Jewish
synagogue at the corner Of Woodland
avenue and jackson street yesterday q
platform on which about 80 people were
standing fell, precipitating most Of the
people into pit below, a distance of
several feet. Fortunately, nobody was
killed. Rabbi S. Drechsler, Rabbi
Aaron Hahn and Judge Bloch and
son were quite seriously hurt, and a
boy, named Samuel Cohen, had one leg
broken. The accident caused much ex-
citement, for at first it was believed sew
eral persons had been killed.

River Reaches the Danger Line.

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, July 1O.-The
Verdigris river has reached the danger
line again and is still rising. Elk river
is over the lowlands for miles along it's
course. If the Verdigris rises much
higher it will put out the fires in the
pumping station of the waterworks.
This second rise is due to Fridays
rains, and it is feared it will be worse
than that Of a few days ago, which
caused great damage to stock and crops

American Soldiers at Manila Surrounded
i With Water.
! MANILA, July lott has been rain
ing and storming almost constantly for
two days and the country along the
American south and bay lines is liter
ally flooded. The soldiers are suffering
great discomfort. The Thirteenth in
fantry regiment at Pasay is in the worst
position, being practically surrounded
by water. The bridges that were used
for getting supplies have been washed
away and some Of the companies are
now separated by streams six feet deep.
In many cases the men are sleeping with
three feet of water beneath their hunks,
which are elevated on cracker boxes.
The company cooks, when preparing
the meals, stand knee deep in water.
Some Of the roads leading to Pasay are
simply impossible aud the rice fields on
all sides are one great lake. A high
wind blew over several tents Of the
reserve hospital.
/ Manila bay is impossible of navigation
by either launches or canoes and no YES
sells are leaving the harbor. The United
States transport Centennial is ready to
sail for San Francisco with discharged
soldiers, but the latter have to sit
around the water front all day drenched
to the skin waiting for a launch to take
them to the steamer.
| The river Pasig and all the other
streams are swollen and the city streets
at low points are covered with water.

Mcfarland, this county. A few days
following James Render, alias Denver
Kid, and Dick Williams, alias Trilby,
both colored, were arrested by James

him in Jail When he arrived mob of
at least 200 men met him with his pris
oner at the Rock Island depot, but were
foiled until the prisoner was being

A writer in the National Stockman
offers the following sensible suggeS-
tions about hawks:
"Hhe loss to farmers and poultry
raisers by hawks every year amounts
TO very large sum. There have been
laws passed by several States with the
object of eXterminating them but we
have them just the same. There are
three or four species of hawks which
are especially destructive not only to
chickens but to game and other u.eful
birds. Ohio passed law a few years
ago paying n bounty of 80 cents per
head. There We're lots of hawks
killed. Some people even killed the
little mouse hawk, a useful bird, The
little screech owl suffered also, which
should have been encouraged instead
of killed. We, as farmers, should not
ask such law, but rather oppose 1t,
when the remedy Is in our own hands.
If we can get them for bounty we
certainly can gat them without l be-
lieVe that If every farmer would coun.
the chicks he loses every year by
hawks alone he would think 1t good
bounty II he succeeded I'm killing but
one hawk In n season. or course, not
every farmer is good marksman.

CARE oE BEES
An Ingonius ArIansemsB. for Compelling
Bees to Build the Combs Straight.

Most bee keepers can produce Sec
tion honey use separatorS between the
sections, so as to oblge the bees to
build the combs straight. If the honey
Is produced for home use this is not
necessary, but when it is packed in
cases for shipment separators are al
most necessity. If the separators
are to be nailed on a piece of tin is
used as separator If the separator
is to be used loose between the rows
of sections wood is used, separator
for the ordinary 4A by 4H sections be-
ing about II inches long, 31a inches
wide and 1-16 inch thick.
One objection to the use of separa-
tor is that it divides the room in the
super into little apartments, and the
bees like better to be as nearly as pos
sible in continuous cluster Another
objection is that when u separator Is
used the surface of the comb sinks
back farther in the section box, giving
lean and hungry" look as compared
with the plump appearance of Il sec
ton of honey produced without sepa-
ratOrS.
With the view of getting rid of both
of these objections as much as posi-
bic the fence, or fence separator has
been brought into prominence. Looking
mt the illustration you will see that the
name is very appropriate one. lu-
stead of n single thin piece of wood
the fence is composed of several pieces

of thin stuff fastened together by cross
cleats, these cross cleatS being on both
sides. A space of about 1-G of an
inch thick allows the comb to come
out in the same plump manner as If no
separators We're used; indeed, the sec
tions with the fence may be even more
full than without any separator.
The kind of section that has been in
general use has the top and bottom
parts narrower than the sides, so as
TO allow passage for the bees to go up
through. For use with the fence the
sections are plain that is the wood is
of uniform size, top, bottom and sides
The section in most general use at the
present time is Az by 4H by rs. The

far from being the same in size as one
