 With the summer now half gone and nothing having been done regarding the trolley matter, 1t looks as though the people of Watertown were indifferent as to whether the trolley ever comes to Watertown or not. Some of the citi- Zens who do not wish to have the troll ley come give the very faint excuse that 1t will take up too much room in the highway, and if 1t does not come on the highway it will be no more con- venient than the railroad. If some thing Is not done before long 1t is said that the woodmen will be tempted to draw away the ties which they have placed along the proposed route. This is probably nothing but q rumor, how ever.

 Western New York.
THE DESTRUCTION IS WIDESPREAD
Houses and Bridges. Swept Away, Live Stock Killed and Crops De- stroyed-Loss of Hundreds of
 Thousands of Dollars.

BUFFALO, July TIA terrific rain and wind storm has swept over western New York. Rivers and creeks rose rapidly, overdowing their banks and sweeping away houses and barns and live stock.

 There were many narrow escapes. At Yorkshire, two miles below Arcade, the approaches to the bridge were washed away, but the bridge is stand ing. Miles of roadway are so gullied or buried in debris that they will have to be rebuilt At Sandusky, few miles from Arcade, it is reported that two houses were washed away. From everywhere come reports of live stock
  very high, and the loss to the town from the destruction of bridges and roadbeds will also be high.
 From Attica come reports that the Tonawanda creek Is swirling over it's banks. It has never been so high be- fore. The reservoir of the Attfca Wa ter company, two miles south of here, gave way under the pressure, and the east end of the dam at the Attica mills was washed away. Lower Main street, in the village, Is four feet under water. Dead cattle, wagons and wreckage of all kinds were washed down stream on the crest of the flood. Seven iron bridges in the town were carried away. The damage to the high ways and bridges will reach $S,0Oo. Hundreds of acres of hay and crops are ruined. The railway roadbeds are bad ly washed out.

The clever girl Is not as a RI" q

prolonged she either backs ont or

ness often enables her To do quickly
what 1t takes her less eXcitable sisters

clever girl rs n whole, we are apt to
find her efforts fragmentary, her course
zigzag and her goal uncertain. But in
