the Union Pacific, early this morning,
doing much damage. A foot of water

Princeton and Pickrell, easements cf
dwellings and stores were flooded, doing
great damage. Crops in great many
places were completely washed away.
small streams became raging torrents,
and persons on low lands were COM
PEELED to remove to places of safety.
The water ran over the Union Pacific
tracks between Pickrell and Cortland
to depth of two feet in some places,
and washed out a number OF bridges
and culverts. Several trains we're held
waiting while large gangs of men
worked on the tracks and telegraph and
telephone lines.
The flood caused by the Cortland
cloudburst reached this city during
the forenoon and has practically cut
off the city from outside communica-
tion by railway. All the bottom lands
and residences along the creek are un.
del water. There are eight feet Of
water in the Union Pacific roundhouse,
and a quarter of mile OF track is re-
ported washed out between this city
and Cortland. Nearly all of the Union
Pacific tracks between this city and
Pickrell are under water, and trains
are unable to proceed either way. The
main line of the Burlington is badly
washed out, and trains had to be sent
through this city today. A Union Pa
ciic passenger train is laid up at Pick
rell, unable to move either way. Fam
lilies in the low lands OF this city were
warned several hours before the food
reached here, and were able TO get to
places OF safety, but did not have time
to remove their belongings. 1t is
feared there has been loss of life. The
water in Indian creek is still rising.
Much livestock was carried away by the
food.

tient the surgeon makes an inclslon on

umbilicus and Poupart's ligament. usu-
ally the incision is about one and haf
inches, through the fascia, external ana
internal oblique muscles. Then the peri
toneum is picked up on each side with ar

Mobbed for stopping Game.

Mark Syverson, president of the East

stopped baseball game on the fair
grounds at Tomah Sunday afternoon and
was mobbed by the players and specta-
tors. If he had not been surrounded by
a dozen or more of his friends, who kept
back the crowd, he would have been
roughly handled, for the crowd was in
an ugly temper. The game was between
employees of the Tomah Cash Mercantile
Company and the G. A. Goodyear saw
mill. The action is the indirect result of
the closing of the saloons on Sunday by
Mayor Nuzum.

Methodist Episcopal Church at AilWau-
kee. They pried open a window, broke
into the library, took Bibles and hymn
books from the shelves, tore them up,
and scattered them all over the floor of

then threw matches over the floor and
saturated the paper with OIL The fire
was started and the men made good their
escape. The fire did not burn the church

Elsewhere is made the announce ment of the appointment of Mir. Albert k. Morawetz as consul for the United States at Nogales, So- nora, Mexico, to succeed J. F. Dar- nall who has held the post during a period of nearly five years, and that time has conducted the office with business tact and ability, dur ing all of which time he ever main tained the consulate at high rate of efficiency. The district includes the entire state of Sonora, and Mir. Darnalls's conduct of the office made the Americans in the state many friends in both official and commercial circles.
 The step taken by Mr. Darnall was rendered necessary by the con tinued ill he lth of Mrs. D. (who is better .in lndiana), and his own business interests there. Their many friends on the border will regret the necessity for their separa- tion from an admiring circle here.
