able that the city will be literally
overrrun with visitors during this
period. The organization is, numeric-
ally, very strong.
'The meeting of the press congress,
which is an organization of world
wide influence, will probably be the
most significant of the three events
named. 1t is hardly too much to say
that it will be one of the most i'm
portant conventions ever held here.
The center of the entire journalistic
world will be ST. Louis, and the Lib
eral Arts building for the time be-
ing. 1t will mean that the city and
the fair will receive advertisement in
all civilized quarters of the globe,
from journalists who are first in
their profession, and who will write
from personal observation.

WESTERN TEXAS DHDGED..
An Unprecedented Amount OF KAN
Falling In the Lone
Star State.
FIFTEEN INCHES FELL IN FOUR HOURS
There Hin, Been some Loss of Human

Springs L. said to BE the Greatest
Sufferer.

Dallas. Tex, July 27.-The deluge OF
rain which has been pouring over
Texas since Thursday, and that mas
been covering the western portion OF
the state has not abated. In addl-
ton to three lives at Stephensvllle
reported lost Friday night, there has
been much property lost. Nithih
four hours at Cameron, Friday 10
inches of rain fell. a thousand rect
of the Santa Fe track was carried
away and a portion of the Arkansas
Pass road destroyed. Little river
rose 90 feet in eight hours, and is
now bank full, but slowly recedlng
The streets of Cameron are badly
damaged, and farms in the bottom
lands are being flooded.
At Galesville ten inches OF rain fell.
Two Texas & Pacific passenger
trains were tied up at Weatherford
all day Friday.
Big Springs is probably the great
est sufferer from the flood from
property standpoint, as the water IS
over the town from four to twenty
two feet deep. The track for ten
miles west of Big Springs has been
washed out and the bridges are gone.
Fifty passengers are waterbound
here, and no attempt will be made to
run trains until the rain ceases and
the water recedes. The foundations
of brick and stone buildings are dam
aged, and many are expected to col
lapse.

OF WORLDWIDE IMPORTANCE,
Three Important Events which VIII
Occur in st. Louis In the Pre-
Exposition Year, 1908.

St. Louis, July 27.-World's fair Of
ficials are of the opinion that the fact
is already established that next year,
though not the exposition year, Will
be the most important and stirring
period in the history of the city, ana
hardly less beneficial in it's results
than the exposition year itself. The
reason for this representation IS
that already three events of world
wide interest have been arranged Tor
St. Louis for the pre-exposition year,
and that many more are likely TO be
attracted. There are now on the cal
endar for next year the dedication
of the fair on April 80; the annual
meeting of the North American
saengerbund, from June II to June
20, inclusive, and the meeting OF the
International Press congress in Au-
gust. The latter organization has
| lust closed it's convention for this
year at Berne, Switzerland. one OF the
final steps taken being an arrange
ment for meeting in st. Louis in 1908.
"rhere san be no doubt" said one
! of the chief officials of the EXPOSE
ton, that the pre-exposition year
will be the most important to St.
Louis of any other year for long
time, and of only little less inter-
est than the exposition year itself.
The management of the fair has cal
culated the Importance of this year
to the city, and has made special
preparations. That was one reason
the Liberal Arts building was re-
modelled, to a considerable extent,
and the court feature eliminated. 1t
will now afford vast hall or audi
forum, admirably adapted to i'm
mense gatherings. 1t is to be COM
pleted in time for the first of the
big events, and will be offered to
movements Of sufficient magnitude
gathering in the city during the en-
tire latter half of the next year.
"The first event, that of the dedica-
ton of the exposition, while impor-
tant in itself is not likely to prove
of so much general interest as those
which follow. Only few weeks af-
ter the dedication the musicians of
the world will be here to attend the
saengerfest. This will be an event Of

London, July 27.-The duke of
Devonshire, president of the council,
and other members of the privy coun-
ell left here on a special train for

be the first meeting of the council
ever held in similar place or under
such circumstances.
The weather at Cowes is favorable.
King Edward passed an excellent
night and experienced no i'll effects
from Fridays cruise around the is
land.
The meeting was brief. King Ed
ward signed proclamations fixing the
coronation for August 9 and making
a bank holiday of the same date. The
privy councillors who had luncheon
with the king, spent two hours on
board the royal yacht.

M. Sempis is a prominent business
man in Paris. His home at Annecy
lake is isolated, and, following re-
cent attempt by burglars to enter the
place, he purchased two powerful
Great Danes as guards.
The dogs proved so ferocious that
thew were confined in an iron IN
closure during the daytime for the
safety of the family. M. Sempis was
advised to starve them, so that when
food was given to them they would
remember kindly their benefactors'
So they had nothing to eat for two
days.
Nine. Sempis did not accompany
her husband and their guests who
started for O drive to Aix-Les-Bains
She noticed the dogs while she was
walking in the yard and, knowing
that they had been without food, de-
termined to feed them, as they were
apparently quiet. She ordered the
cook to prepare q bowl of meat, ana
carried It to the kennel, the woman
accompanying her.
