BURSTS ITS BANKS.
Little Creek in Texas Becomes a
Raging Torrent.

Coleman, Tex, July Fifteen lives
are known to have been lost in cloud
burst here Monday. Ten bodies have
been recovered, but only two were iden-
titled. They are: Joseph Spath, lead
ing merchant of the village, and John
Fuleisstine. 1t is feared that many
more lives were lost in the valley be"
low Coleman. The cloudburst, which
followed three days unprecedented
rainfall, caused Ford's creek to burst
its banks and rush through Coleman,
a village of less than 1000 inhabitants.
Bewildered citizens, reused from their
slumbers, rushed into the streets and
were swept away. Many were saved
by catching hold of pieces of timber
and navigating them into eddies
formed by the swift current, where
they were drawn ashore.
Heroes Perish.
Spath and Fuleisstine managed to
mount their horses. They dashed into
the water and swan their horses to
house where four little girls were
screaming for help. Each rescued two
of the children, whom they took on
their horses. The animals were swept
away, however, in a noble effort to
TEN the swift current, and all were
drowned.
1t is believed that several lives have
beeTTfost along the course of the creek
in the valley below Coleman. Advices
received from KerrviIle, Tex, state that
a cloudburst occurred in, the noun
tains north of there. which destroyed
a railroad bridge over the Guadalupe
river and inundated many farms.
Cyclone at LIano, Tex.
ST. Louis, July ia special to the
Republic from Austin, Tex, says: After
several hours of incessant rain cy-
clone struck the town of LlanO, 200
miles north of here, Sunday night about
1:35 o'clock. The storm came from the
southeast and was wholly unexpected.
1t demolished a number of buildings
and Il large number of people were in-
iured a few of them seriously. Mrs.
y. J. Badu was struck by lightning
during the height of the storm and
rendered unconscious for time. TO
add to the confusion and danger the
handsome residence which herself and
family occupied was unroOfed and 9th
erwise damaged by the storm. Ben
Johnson's residence was blown from
it's foundation, but the family escaped
injury. The residence of J. II. Keele
was demolished and his two sons, aged
three and five years, were seriously
injured by flying debris. Both children

Ottumwa's mystery in the finding
of newly made grave in the center
of brush patch of several hundred
acres extent, is cleared up to the
satisfaction of all.
Last fall blind man by the name
of George Davis mysteriously disap-
peared from the vicinity of Ottumwa
and nothing was ever heard from
him and the opinion was held that
he was dead, probably having been
foully dealt with. Recently what was
supposed to be a grave was discov-
cred on the banks of Soap Creek,
and the people at onceIdecided that
the new found grave was the place
that the body of Davis was buried.
The Qttumwa authorities made an in
vestigation of the grave and found
that the remains resting there were
those Of a horse.

ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS.
John Quincy Adams Might Have
Known all the Twenty -four.

New York World: We have had
twenty-four presidents up to date,
and if Mr.. Bryan is defeated we shall
not have our twenty-tifth until 1905.
Hitherto presidents renominated by
their parties have usually been re-
elected The four exceptions were
John Adams, defeated for reelection
by Thomas jefferson in 1900, exactly
a century ago; Martin Van Buren,,
Grover Cleveland and Benjamin
Harrison. Mr.. Bryan's success would
indeed break many presidential pre-
cedents. He comes from the Trans
Mississippi west, a section that has
never before supplied president.
He was born in Illinois, the birth
place of no president so far elected.
He would be the youngest man ever
chosen as president.
Our oldest president at the time of
his Inauguration was William Henry
Harrison, 6S, and Grant was our
youngest president on the day of his
first Inauguration, At; Cleveland was
4S.
The birthplaces of the presidents
are divided among the states as fol-
lows: Six have come from Virginia,
five from Ohio, three from New York
two each from Massachusetts, and
North Carolina, and one each from
New Jersey, Kentucky, New Hamp-
shire, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
AS to the Christian names, there
have been four Jamses, three Johns,
two Andrews, two Williams and one
George, Thomas, Martin, Zachary,
Willard, Franklin, Abraham, Ulysses,
Rutherford, Chester, Grover and
Benjamin. Fourteen of them had no
middle names and none of them was
named in honor of any previous
presidents fact that shows how
sadly futile it is to name a baby boy
after a president in the hope that he
also may grow up and "get there"
All our presidents have been mar
ried men at the time of their election
save three-Van Buren,, Buchanan
and Cleveland.
Washington was the first president
to die and the only one to die in the
The Oskaloosa herald., 1900-07-19

eighteenth century. At his death
Adams, jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
the second Adams, Jackson, Van Bu-
rem, the first Harrison, Tyler, Polk,
Taylor and Buchanan were all living
Among the curious condolences of
the presidential Office we may mem
ton the deaths of John Adams and
Thomas Jefferson on the same day
July 4, 1926. In no subsequent year
have two presidents died. Grant and
Hayes were the only two presidents
born in the same year. Garfield was
born in the same year that Monroe
died. None of our presidents has
died out of the country, though Tay-
lor died at Richmond while Virginia
considered herself out of the Union.
Only one president, John Adams, has
had a son elected to the office and
only one, William Henry Harrison,
has had grandson chosen to fill it.
Two ex-presid ents are now living
Grover Cleveland and Benjamin
Harrison. The graves of their pre-
decessors are as widely separated as
the states that gave them birth. All
of our departed presidents lived to
good old age except Garfield and
Lincoln, who were assassinated.
Eleven of them lived we'll on into the
seventies, while John Adams lived
to be 81, Madison to be IS, Jefferson
SO and Van Buren, so.
A curious fact suggestive of the
youth of our country in that our sixth
president, John Quincy Adams, who
died in 1913, personally knew every
president who preceded him as we'll
as two who followed him, and might
have seen, if he had been gifted with
fore-knowledge and had cared to
take the journey, all the presidents
who have succeeded him to the pres
ent time, including Mckinley.

According to the Chicago Chron-
icle, big engines are causing all kinds
of trouble for the railroads that re-

Belle PLANE Union: The contract
ors who have the work of grading the
extension of the branch to Lakonta
are hard pressed for men to work on
he grade, and have put women into
service driving the teams. Several
hundred men could be used there, but
as the laborer is in just as much de-
mand in 80 many other places the
contractors have to get along as best
they can, and when some of the wom-
en- folks offered to serve as drivers
their services were gladly accepted
This is only another indication of the
character of the hard times which
follows upon prosperity as advanced
by the republican party.
