 tee Starts Movement For Aid of th. sunersrs-Hc Has an UnexpendeC Balance on Hand.
 New York, Sept. 4.-AIessages re ceived in this city yesterday told of a great flood disaster in Shanghai, Chi, ma, in which one-third of the popula. ton of the city, fully 125.0O0 persons, has been wiped out by the surging waters H the Iangtse, the largest riv. CT in China.
 These messages were received by The Christian Herald of this city by cable from the Rev. Arthur T. Smith of TientSln, chairman of the famine relief committee. The first message was as follows:
 Terrible langtse floods. Dr. Rich ard and others approve Shanghai com mi.tee of Chinese and foreigners. em. bracing consuls, merchants. mission. aries, distribute relief. If funds not all required in Shanghai, then tyans fer to Yangtse."
 Several hours later a second cable. massage was received, as follows:
 "Dr. Duncan wires one-third popu. lation dead Shanghai. Forming Yang tse relief committee"
 Dr. Klopsch, who is the editor of The Christian Herald, at once cabled to Chairman Smith indorsing the de cision of the committee to apply the unexpended balance Of the famine fund in behalf of the Shanghai flood sufferers. The committee has power to extend its relief operations and will probably begin work immediately.
 Floods of Frequent Occurrence.
 Floods on the Yangtsekiang are of periodical occurrence. but the present one seems to have been more destruc. tive than usual. Tho river Is one of the largest in China and has very tortuous course along q wide. low ly- ing valley. It joins the sea by an estuary thirty miles across.
 Shanghai Is situated at the mouth of the Wongpoo river twelve miles above the mouth of the Woosung. In the estuary of the YangtSekiang. It stands on level and highly cultivated plain and Is in no danger from floods. There appehTs to De ihlSaDptcHehslan lh tle reading of the second Chefu dispatch. making 1t appear that one-thlrd of the population of Shanghai are dead.
 The period should evidently he plnc- ed after the word dead" and the dis patch should read: "Dr. Duncan wires one-third population dead. Shanghai forming Yangtse relief committee"
 Earlu I'm Inlv n fsnlkla 1iSnutnh tn the London Standard reported the drowning of over 1000 persons by a flood in the Yangtse valley.

r.7- GscsI1Ider strewn valley tolo them that he was gone.
 It was nearly dusk now, and from the stairway a hundred yards off the voice of Jose del Casa could be heard calling Patricia. She paused moment as she heard 1t, then leaped to the ground and bent over the insensible driver With her small, brown hand she pushed away the yellow curls and bent her face low above his. For a moment old Anselma could have sworn that the girl was kissing his white face, but no, after all, she was only examin- ing with tear wet eyes the facial signs of returning life. Then she unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, fumbled beneath its folds and, snatching away a cluster of trinkets that hung about his neck, thrust them hastily into her corsage.
 Then old Del Casa and two of his rancheros came up. The wounded man was placed on bench in his car. The mules were hitched to the other end and one of the rancheros drove them back to Monterey.
 "Senorita, mic muchacha, what did you take from the Gringo? What was that you snatched from his neck? Tell me, pretty one. you did not rob himr'
 Patricia's smile came struggling through her tears.
 "No, no, Mother Anselma," she mur- mured; mot so bad as that, but bad enough, too. You won't scold me, will you. mother"
 And she pulled from her bosom the poor car drivers cluster of trinkets. There were little medal of the Virgin, a tiny amulet-the relic of Our Lady of Guadaloupe-a silken scapular and a golden locket.
 Look, mother. and forgive me-" said Patricia as she opened the locket and displayed a miniature portrait of her self. "l gave It to him myself. l was afraid they might find 1t. and so-and so robbed him of it."
 "But you will not give 1t back. Pa triciaY' asked the scared and staring old woman.
 "Yes, mother, I'll give 1t back to him. and more. too, mother. I'll give him that and more-everything-when he's we'll"
 And old Anselmlna could only pray Chicago Record Herald.

 The Two Minute Trotter.
 When it is considered that the differ ence in distance required to make the change is but or feet, or less than four strides of horse In full trotting ac- tion, or that horse would have to gain but nine inches In every second in order to reach the coveted mark, 1t would seem that the rate of progress would be greater, but such is not the case.

MORE MEN AT WORK,
Steel Mn.ufacturcrs Make Furthe,
 Gains.

pittsburg, Sept. 4.-Deyelopments in the steel strike show decided gains for the manufacturers The acct Ssion of thirty-two skilled men to the Star plant, the increased production at the Painter and the Lindsay X McCutch- con mills, the defection from the strik- CTS ranks of seyenty-fiye machinists and pipe cutters at the Continental Tube works and fifty at the Pennsyl- vania Tube works, the importation of twelve men to the Monessen steel hoop mill and the installation of three mills on the night turn at the Clark plant all point to an early resumption all along the line as viewed by the steel officials.
 The Amalgamated officials, however, declare that everything is proceeding satisfactorily and say that much of the supposed advantage of tke mnnufac- turers Is bluff and cannot be made good. AS an instance they cite the Lindsay & McCutcheon plant, where the company claims to have as many men at work as can be accommodated and to be turning out merchantable product.
 AhdlES ht hClASeSpuFl dIe uuttl dHu to all appearances unchanged. The strikers point to the fact that the ma chinists who were persuaded Monday to leave the National Tube works did not go in yesterday as victory for them. The much talked of start of the Demnler plant is still being dis cussed, and the attempt to start is now scheduled for the latter part of the week. The managers say that the only thing holding them back is adequate protection for the workers, full com plement being ready to go in. Mayor Black Is still withholding his final an- swer to the request for police protec- tion.
 It was reported yesterday afternoon that the strikers at Duquesne intend to make another effort to close that plant by getting the open hearth men out, but nothing definite on the sub ject can be learned.

For the first time in many years the
cry of the roulette dealer and the
whirr Of the little ball as it raced
around the wheel were not heard in
Kalispell last night. An unwonted
stiffness pervaded the rooms where
gambling had been carried on and the
tables had either been removed or
covered. Not game of any kind was
attempted and the rooms usually
crowded after nightfall presented a
decidedly deserted appearance. A good
many of the men who have been rum
ming the games have left town and
the rest are waiting to see what will
turn up. The order to close has been
obeyed to the letter and Kalispell is
experiencing the novelty of being a

MIXED With
TO0THPICKS
Edgar Latin Has Some Cur
ious Tastes
SUPPOSEDLY INSANE.
Created Disturbance in Chinese Restau-
rant. Will Have an
Examination.

A man giving the name of Edgar
Laulin went insane while eating
breakfast at the Elite restaurant this
morning about 1880 and created con-
siderable excitement in that place un-
til he was corraled by Deputy Sheriff
O'Neill and placed in Jail.
Laulin ordered breakfast and while
eating attracted the attention of the
other people in the room by his Pc
culiar actions. He placed the con-
tents of the different dishes on his
plate and afterwards mixed the tooth
picks on the table with the mess. Then
raising his hands he began to yell and
cry.
All Hay, the proprietor of the place,
went across the street and notified the
deputy sheriff that the man was crazy
and the officer returned with him.
When he arrived on the scene Laulin
had Gained down somewhat, but was
still very much excited and nervous.
He at first refused to 60 with the
officer but when O'Neill picked him up
bodily and threw him in wagon he
had no more resistance to offer. He
was taken to the Jail where he will be
kept quiet until his sanity will be
enquired into. It is supposed he is a
stranger in the city, as no one seems
to know him.

SUBSTANTIAL GAIN.

From the Butte Inter Mountain:
Kalispell is establishing record of
which every citizen of the state may
be proud. The development of Flat
head county and the substantial gains
made by the city of Kalispell are lit
tie less than wonderful. Although
remote from other progressive Sec
tions of Montana, Flathead county has
caught the prevailing spirit of the
times and is rapidly surmounting the
obstacles encountered in new and
undeveloped country and progressing
beyond the environments of pioneer
days.

RAILROAD
RUMBL|NCS
All Sorts Of Stories Are in Cir
cu1ation
ABOUT THE CUTOFF
Line to the South Sure to Be Bolt. Ka1is-
pell Ia Line for Material
Advantages.

At present there are people around
kalispell who could give pointers to
Jim Hill when it comes to railroad
building. You can pay your money
and take your choice of any story you
hear or if that don't suit, why invent
one of your own. One of the stories
that has obtained much credence is to
the effect that the division point at
Troy together with the round house
will be moved to Jennings and the
Kalispell division and round house
would be moved to the vicinity of
Columbia Falls.
The fact that a party of surveyors
have crossed the divide between the
Saltwater and Whitefish rivers is
taken to prove that the road will not
come to Kalispell, but will strike the
main line at or near Columbia Falls.
It is also stated that the new rail
road from Kalispell to Jocko on the
Northern Pacific will be built next
summer. OF the many stories afloat
the latter one is most correct. That
the road is to be built is fact and
there is no doubt but what it will be
completed before snow flies next year
However, whatever changes in the
main line are made, work on them
will not be finished inside of two
years and in the meantime this city
will reap the benefit of the construc
ton work in the county.
