HELENA IN LINE FOR EXHIBIT
State Commissioners for St. Louis
Fair Favored.

Helena has fallen in line with Great
Falls in the movement for the ap-
pointment of commissioner by the
governor to raise funds by subscrip-
ton with which to ensure the proper
representation of Montana at the St.
Louis exposition in 1903. Resolutions
to that effect were adopted by the
Helena Business Mems association
at meeting at the Jefferson club
rooms yesterday afternoon.
Thwe subject was brought up by
r. II. Floyd-Jones. who stated that he
had conferred with Governor Toole
on the subject and that the citizens
of Great Falls had already taken &C
ton on the lines he proposed. He
proposed the appointment of a com
mission which should raise funds b,
subscription to pay the preliminar!
expenses, arrange plans for the build
| ing and collect the exhibit. This
could all be done for about $25, 00(
and a creditable exhibit could b
made, as his experience at the Chi
cago worlds fair had shown, provid
ed the legislature would make an ar
preparation OF $4,000.
A strong point made by Mr.. Floyd
Jones was that, after the preliminar
work had been done. the buildin
could be erected and the exhibit go

Decision Against State.

Austin, Tex. June 26.-The Suprema Court today decided that where landa classified as agricultural lands belong ing to the State had been sold as such to actual settlers. the State has no right the minerals in such lands; thae the minerals under the lands belong t0 the purchaser, and that 1t Is not neces~ sary for the purchaser to make an af~ fidavit when he makes application to purchase such lands to the effect that to the best of his knowledge, the lands contain no mineral deposits. This de- cision settles the question of the State s right to minerals on school and univer- sity lands. The case was brought by August Schendell against Land Com missioner Charles Rogan. for writ ot mandamus to compel the Land Com missioner to issue Natent and the Governor to sign the patent to frac- tional section of school land in Fort Bend County. This question involved millions of acres of mineral lands in and around the Beaumont oil fields. The Court holds that the State has no claim whatever to the minerals.

One Woman Killed and Other Per sons Injured by the Electric Fluid-Picnic Parties Were
 panic-Stricken.

Pittsburg, June 26.-A storm which struck Pittsbupg this afternoon was short in duration but terrific in power and disastrous in effect. The lightning and thunder were practically contin- uous for thirty minutes, the wind at taining a velocity of 30 miles an hour and o.4e lnch ot rsbn fell. One woman was instantly killed by lightning and several other persons may die rom the same cause, numberless houses and churches were struck by lightning and several picnic parties were panic stricken.
 In Homestead, Mrs. Alice Lester, aged 24, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. Miss Grace Jackson, aged 19, of Homestead, was struck and her recovery fig doubtful.
 Richard Rucker, also of Homestead. was friKhtfGlly burned by the elec- trieal fluid and will hardly recover.
 Rev. John Saulton and Clay Fands were badly shocked, but will recover. The water rushed down the hills around Homestead and literally en- gulfed the town. The damage done may reach many thousands of dollars:
 At South Avenue Park at the on1 or the Suburban Traction Company's line, a picnic party composed of l,2OO per sons, lUU or WHOH WcIS CHAoINhb SN'tA cred in the dancing pavilion for shel- ter from the storm. Lightning struck tree within eight feet of the pavilion setting fire to the structure. The pie nickers were panic-stricken. women tainted, children screamed and even the men in the party gave way to their fright. Fortunately the heavy rain extinguished the flames.
 A similar panic enSued at St. Jc- seph's Parochial School on Mount Uli- yer. where commencement exer :ises were being held. The Hall was filled with children and their parents when lightning struck the building, tearing a portion of the roof away.
 All through the south and west and east ends the storm carried destruc- ton with 1t.
 Sewers overfiower. filling cellars and making creeks of the streets roofs were carried away and much minor damage was done but no person was seriously hurt

 As a result of the accident traffic was suspended for a short while. As soon as possible MT. Scott had another car put on the Cloverdale line and regular runs were made to and from the city and Cioverdale. The passen- gers were transferred at the scene of the wreck.
 Car No. 1S which was wrecked, did not leave the track after the crash. The front platform was knocked to pieces. It fell limp to the ground. It was a subject of much conjecture how the motorman escaped with his life. The platform was pulled off and laid on the side of the street and the car was attached to another one and taken to the shops. The platform was later

It is safe to say that 100 deaths will not be far >amiss. Hun dreds are starving. There is no way of securing provisions on the Dry Fork or Tug Rivers save nsmule back. This afternoon in one drove were twenty pack mules laden with provisions which made the start across the mountains from here to Bradshaw, a village fifteen miles away, where it is said many families have had no food since Satur- day. The water came down Dry Forks as a mighty wave fully twenty feet high. At the intersection of Tug River 1t met another huge wave and the noise as trees, houses, bridges and debris of all kinds. crashed to- gether, could be heard for miles.
 The river rose thirty feet in two hours. Bridges which span the river here were swept away as well as twen- ty or more two-story buildings, one oi which was the postoffice.
 I. w. Kilness was at lager when the f,ood tide came. He ran to the moun- tain side and saved himself. He saw four men run to the Dry Fork bridge, and when it was swept away and went
 
 to pieces all were drowned.
 No report has yet reached here from the extreme upper waters of Dry Fork, a settlement thickly inhabited by small farmers It is feared the loss of life has been great there At Bradshaw All bert McCoys storehouse. was washed away, as was also a large commissary belonging to the William Ritter Lum- Der Company, and nine dwelling houses.

Further Consideration of the Tag
 Tax Amendment.

When the Convention reassembled at 3 o'clock MT. Palmer of Washington, withdrew his motion to table the amendments of Mir. Espy of Henry and MT. Sanford of Pike. which seek to abolish the fertilizer tag tax law.
 MT. Winn of Barbour. then spoke in favor of the Sanford amendment. He said the question was one of simple justice to the farmers of Alabama. He said it was a yearly struggle for farm CTS to make living and they did not get the benefit of the agricultural schools. MT. Vim appealed to the Convention to do away with this unjust taxation.
 MT. Opp of Covington made his maiden speech He said he wanted to go on record as opposed to any prop osition to hoodwink the Convention by the fertilizer factories of Alabama. He ridiculed the Convention for the con-

FIREMAN SYKES KILLED
 IN COLLISION WITH CAR

was seen by an Advertiser representa- tive shortly after the accident. MT. McDaniel wore bandages. He was in bed in the sleeping apartments of the Steamer Company on Scott Street. He was severely hurt about the head and was bruised on the left arm near the elbow. His back is' also badly sprain- ed. When the crash came he fell among the horses and thinks he was kicked by one of the animals.
 Mir. McDaniel says that when the telephone alarm came in he hooked up hastily and with four men aboard started for the fire at 3S Sayre Street. As soon as he emerged from the engine room he noticed a negro driving a black horse near the corner of Hull and Scott Streets. He says that he rang his bell violently to warn the negro of the approach of the hose cart. Finally the attention of the negro was attract ed and just at that time the cart was within a few yards of the street car track. In q twinkling the car dashed down upon the cart. His first impulse, he said. was to check the horses. which he started to do. but thinking 1t too late he decided to attempt to cross the track. He lashed the horses and the animals had cleared the track when the crash came. He says he does not remember much else, except that he fell among the horses and thinks he re- ceived a severe kick from one of the animals.
 Mir. McDaniel said he knew nothing more until he found himself in bed in the engine room.
 : Ashby Cook, a young son of J. T. Cook, who lives in the neighborhood of the accident, bears out the state ment that the bell was rung. He says his attention was first attracted by the violent ringing of the foot bell of the hose cart
