Joliet, H., June 3.-Joliet is in the
grasp OF the worst flood in it's history
All the lower portion of the city is
under water and it is rumored that
several lives have been lost The Do-
lice have names of Eddie McGovern.
Lizzie McGoan and a little girl named
Kennedy drowned.
Several families had narrow escapes
and the police rescued many in boats.
Several houses and other buildings
were swept away in the floods. Jeffer.
son and other principal streets are
under water and business places are
hooded, causing thousands of dollars
damage
The street car lines are all severely
damaged and no cars are running. All
trains are stalled, water being feet
deep over the railroad tracks. Severe
Washouts have occurred on the electric
lines between here and Chicago.
Heavy rains which continued all
night caused Hickory and Spring
creeks to burst their banks, and it is
rumored that Hickory creek dam east
of this city has partially collapsed,
sending the food waters down in a
torrent. Scores of homes have from
one to three feet of water in the first
stories.
Mayor Barr has called a special
meeting of the city council for this
afternoon to take measures for the re-
lief Of the sufferers Many of the peo-
pie were driven from their homes by
the food. The damage was more wide
spread than at first supposed. The es-
timated property damage reaches $75.-
600 to $1,000 Factories and stores
all over the city are flooded Many
streets are ruined, the pavements be-
ing all washed away and hundreds of
small buildings are wrecked. The ear
ly report that a portion of Hickory
creek dam was washed out has been
confirmed. There has been no serious
trouble as yet from the drainage chan
mel Part of the penitentiary was flood
ed, but not seriously, and the con-
victs are at work as usual The water
did not reach the cell houses or shops.
The flood is slowly receding. The
railroads are in a helpless condition.
The Rock Island bridge over the drain
age canal has been moved 18 inches
cut Of line by the food and no trains
can pass. The tracks of the Chicago
and Alton and of the Santa Fe are
under water and a Santa Fe bridge
south Of the city was washed away.
Ten miles of Michigan Central transfer
track is ruined, and a bridge leading
to an elevator was carried away. The
Joliet stove works is flooded with
feet Of water and the damage amounts
TO nearly $4,000. The Joliet Ware
house company is damaged to the ex-
tent of $4,000, and other losses in the
same ratio are~reported from all parts
Of the city.
Business is paralyzed and schools
are closed. The streets that are not
submerged are thronged with sight
seers. The police and firemen, assist
ed by volunteer squads of helpers are
at work all over the city relieving suf-
fering and trying to restore order.

brushing beauty out of the Hair.

brushing beauty Out of the Hair.
The most famous hairdresser in Lon
don has startled the fashionable ladies'
of England by warning them that in
following old traditions they are brush
ing the beauty out of their hair.
1.-THE incessant brushing OF the
present day is ruinous to the hair" he
says. Some women used to give their
hair 100 strokes of the brush night and
morning and have good hair in spite
of it. An occasional person might do
so now; but the good hair is in spite
of the brush, not because of 1t.
IAN new hairs appear first us soft,
delicate fuzz. easily pulled out or de
stroyed. Sun brushing VIII wear them
out, just as it will wear out the nap of
cloth The hair roots try to make up
for the destruction. They are forced
into abnormal growth, and their life
force is depleted. The old hair is fall
ing. The new hair is not being allowed
to live and grow. The life force is
being exhausted The hair gets thin,
struggling, unhealthy, dies out alto
gether, and there you have the bald
woman or man.

When piano is lnsunciently lit by
the gas jets or electric wires, stand
ing lamp is the best additional light
that can be brought in. II the room is
furnished in heavy wood and dark col
orings, the standard should be of
wrought iron. With lighter, more deli
cate surroundings the dull or polished
brass looks better. In houses where
lamps must be changed from one room
to another 1t is convenient to use those
of brass, copper, silver or black iron
with two handles for carrying. The
larger and %1udsomer lamps are made
with the oil TANK separate part that

Nelson, like all the greatest COM
mauders on sea or land, made his mis-
takes and his failures, but there is only
one instance on record OF his having
been actually defeated IN direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz, in
the Canary islands, on July %, 1907.
The place was very strongly fortified.
and Nelson, in the face of u fire of fifty
guns from the batteries, attempted to
storm the town by boats. The attempt
was frustrated by the strength OF the
mole and the nonappearance Of land
force which should have co-operdted.
A hundred and fifty men were killed
..hd hundred wounded ON the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the cathedral OF
Santa Cruz. $

There can never be too much con-

said to impart a happiness which reli-

clothes was even impressed upon the

weaving to be OF divine origin. Clothes
