LEAPS INTO THE MISSOURI.
Edna Jordan Jumps Overheard from
Steamer at Omaha.

Omaha, July 1.-Edna Jordan. l6
years old, quarreled with her lover on
board the excursion steamer Henrietta
Saturday night, and while in a fit of
plque leaped over the ropes into the
river. So far as known she did not
come to the surface after the first
plunge. Every precaution was taken
to save her, and afterward to recover
her body, but to no avail. After a
half hours fruitless work with the
sklfrs and searchlight the steamer re-
turned to its moorings at the foot of
Douglas street. A boatload of merry
eXcurslonists witnessed the thrilling
scene

BOLT KILLS ELEVEN
SOUGHT SHELTER FROM STORM
in ZINC LINED SHANTY.

Only One Boy Survives, His Com.
panons, Ten Boys and One Man,
Being Burned and Shriveed.
Chicago, July 2.-Crowded together
In little zinc-lined shanty under
north shore pier ten boys and young
men and one old man met instant
death by lightning yesterday. They
had left their fish lines and sought
shelter from the fierce thunderstorm
| that deluged the northern part of the
city about o'clock
( Ten minutes later their bodies lay,
with twisted and tangled limbs, like
nest of snakes" as the men who
found them said.
There were II who sought shelter
and just one escaped. Twelve-year-
old Willie Anderson was uninjured,
but he lay many long minutes before
| he could be drawn out from under
the heap of dead bodies
The dead comprised party OF men
who were fishing and seeking relief
from the heat of the day joined by
,
wade and swim on the beach.
The names of the dead are: George
Brabinat, IL years old; Meyer Jacobs,
45; George Peribs, 12; Frank Coosey,
IL; Carl kruse Is; Edward Bloch,
13; five unknown.
The storm was as violent a vista
ton as had been experienced in Chi
| coc ,1-;
| flashing glare of the lightning, and
the air rumbled steadily with thunder
/ Half a dozen houses, outbuildings and
trees in the vicinity were struck, and
almost all of the telephone wires
burned out.
There were 13 men and boys on the
pier at the time. They rushed for
the only available shelter and crowded
themselves in through the little trap
door in the top of the cabin till they

Then came the thunderbolt It was
the worst of the storm. Watchers in
the pumping station saw the zig.zag
lightning strike the water, as they
thought. They did not know of it's
fearful work.
4 There was one small boy. however,
who saw the bolt. But for him the
dead might have laid where they were
for hours, and little Willie Anderson
might have been suffocated under
their bodies.
Il Percy keane, clad in bathing trunks,
and watching from the water station.
thought he heard scream as the bolt
struck. Mindless of the storm, he
rushed across the beach. At the pier
he heard cry: "Help-get me out"
He looked into the cabin and in dis
may saw the twisted bodies.
Young Percy, crying, pulled at the
dead mems arms and legs to get them
away. He saw Willie Anderson's
head and part of his body. but he could
not pull him out, nor could he pull
the heavy bodies from on top of him
Then young Keane telephoned to the
police, who succeeded, after a great
!, deal of difficulty, in rescuing young
Anderson and recovering the dead
bodies of the others.
Five persons dropped dead on the
streets from the effects of excessive
heat and 15 others had to be removed
to hospitals. A number of the pros
trated are in a serious condition and
may die. At noon the temperature
in the streets was over 100. The
thunder storm brought relief and the
mercury dropped 20 degrees.
The dead: Peter Badjik, Resse

Tittemore, general traffic manager Of
the Iowa Central railway, met traffic
officials OF the Minneapolis and St.
Louis and Wabash yesterday in refer
ence to the formation of st. Louis
line by the Minneapolis and st. Louis,
Iowa Central and Wabash, via Albert
Lea and Abba. The opening of an
Iowa Central line via Albert Lea would
make an important change in the Chi

result in a reduction on first class
freight of 8 cents per hundred from
Chicago to all points on the Iowa Cen

GROUND HOG DAY.
His Hogship Saw His Shadow, There
fore, Six weeks More of Winter.

tore, Six weeks More of Winter.
Saturday last was grounding day,
On "Ground-Hog day. says the Great
Falls Leader, the proposition is that
Mi. Ground-Hog, who has been sleep
ing for couple of months, comes out
of his hole and takes a short trip into
the surrounding country; if the day
is cloudy he concludes that his sleep
for the winter is finished, but if the
sun should come out and show to him
his shadow Mr.. Ground-Hog scoots
back into his hole for sleep of six
weeks, for the weather will remain
bad for that length of time-at least
that is the story which has been hand
ca down from the time to which tha
memory of man runneth not, and this
morning the sun rose with all the
splendor of an April morning. In the
SKY there was no cloud and either the
grounding story is lie, or the win
ter winds will howl with renewed
fury for the next six weeks in this Vi
cinity.
It IS test case for the ground-hog
and upon the outcome depends his
reputation as weather prophet. IN
Great Falls there are many who are
banking upon his hogship and already
the ice Kinks are being prepared fer
the cold weather which is to come.
while IN other quarters preparations
are being made which woulu indicate
that Mr.. Ground-Hog has a good fol
lowing in the city of ureat Falls.
Besides being the day of the ground
hog which is but superstition, today
Is Candlemas day, church festival
which has in Scotland been chosen as
one OF the four term days. The festi-
val commentaries the publication of
the Virgin and the observance tn
which it owes it's name is the liphtin O
OF candles in the Roman Catholic
church. The conservation of the can
dies which are to be used during the
year for ecclesiastical purposes is said
to have an emblematical reference te
the prophecy of Simeon that the chile
Jesus should become "a light to light
en- the Gentiles." The institution o
this feast probably dates from the
reign of Justian and the year 542 is
sometimes fixed as that of it's frs
celebration.
Appropriate services were held j,
st. AIMS church this morning durin:
which the candles were blessed.
On Sunday will occur the feast 0
st. Blase the patron saint for protec
ton against sore tnrOats.

FAMILIES ARE COMING,
Wives and Children to Join Men Who
Settled Here Last Year.

Many families are expected to ar
rive from the east on the 14th inst,
to make their homes in and near Great
Falls, says the Tribune. They are
the families of men who took adyan-
tage of the homeseekers' excursions
last spring to come to this vicinity,
and they are so well satisfied that
they have sent for their families to
come out on the first homeseekers'
excursion of this year, which is to
leave st. Paul the 18th inst. They
have already purchased tickets for
their families and the population of
the country will be materially increas-
ed in the next few weeks.
The homeseekers' excursions are ex-
pected to bring probably 10000 per-
sons into the northwestern states
from the agricultural communities of
Iowa, Nebraska. Indiana. Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and other states. Montana will
get many of these, but not a very
large proposition, as special efforts are
being made this year to colonize
Washington and Idaho. But those
who will settle in Montana are those
who have sufficient means to enable
them to investigate more than one
locality, and Great Falls and vicinity
will get many of these, constituting
the best class of the immigrants.
In a few weeks there will be a
slight emigration, as the Canadian
Northwest Irrigation company, owning
the great irrigating canal in the Vi
entity of Lethbridge and Cardston,
has prevailed upon some of the farm
ers of this vicinity to take up their
residence under the folds of the union
jack. Not many will go, but there
are few who have been attracted bv
the inducements offered.
About the middle of March. several
hundred Mormons from Utah will pass
through the city en- route to Cardston
and vicinity. where they will take ZIP
ranches.

1t is now claimed that the Great
Northern will enter the coal fields by
building their branch up the Kootenai
from Libby. The preliminary sur
vey over that route has been made,
but those who seem to know the
do not believe this to be Il possibility.
Those fellows claim that the branch
starts from a point short distance
east of Kalispell. If the river route
is chosen, however, it will be another
boom for Libby.-Montanian.

elsewhere are taking advantage Of
the opportunity to obtain in timber
lands on the proposed new cut off be-
tween Libby and halispeli says the
Montanian. 1t will not be long until
all the timber lands along this route
Will be very valuable. There are
also some excellent opportunities to
get hold of farms that will eventual
ly become valuable for agricultural
purposes.

STORY TELLING.
Judge and Mrs. Goss Entertain Friends
at a Fagot Party.

One Of the very pleasant social
events Of the Lenten season was the
''fagot party" given Tuesday night by
Mr.. and Mrs. James r. Goss to about
SO Of their friends, at their home on
North Thirtieth street. The rooms
were very prettily decorated with
ported plants and vases of American
Beauty roses. After the arrival Of the
guests, each one was provided with a
bundle of fagots. The rooms were
then darkened, making the stories
much more effective and placing the
%reciter in a more reminiscent mood.
Each, in turn, placed a bunch of fagots
on the fire in the open hearth and was
supposed to relate a story, true or not,
until the fagot had ceased to burn.
This proved a most delightful e Of
entertainment, some very good stories
and conundrums being given. When
the story telling had ended, small
tables were brought into the rooms and
