PERISH IN A GALE.
Twelve Persons Drowned on the Pa
cific COast-MOre Damage by
Rain, Hail and Flood.

Vancouver, B. c., July S8.-A heavy
gale is responsible, it is believed, for
the deaths of 10 men, who are thought
to have been drowned in the waves
of ocean or rivers.
Dallas, Tex, July 2S.-The deluge
of rain which has been pouring over
central Texas and that which has
been covering the western portion of
the state since Sunday has not
abated. In addition to the three
lives lost at Stephensville there has
been much property damage.
Canandaigua, N. Y, July 2S.-An-
other terrific storm visited this Sec
ton, doing great damage to crops
and property that had not already
suffered. Edward Chamberlain was
struck by lightning and instantly
killed. Canandaigua lake has risen
still higher. The damage on hundreds
of farms is irreparable. From every
part of the county come reports that
wheat is sprouting in the shock, and
that serious blight has struck the
apple trees.
Chicago, July 2s.-Lightning, rain,
hail and flood continue to add to loss
of life and destruction of property in
various sections of the country.
Crops on many farms in the lowlands
of the Illinois and Rock rivers are
still under water and in many in
stances are supposed to be ruined. A
cloudburst near Moline, ILL.,, put four
miles of the Burlington tracks under
water. A large force is repairing the
Lacey levee near Havana, ILL.,, and
some of the crops in that vicinity
may be saved. Hail cut crops to
pieces near La Crosse, Wis. In west
ern Texas the food situation is still
more serious and if the rainfall con-
tinues in other parts of the state
the cotton crop will suffer.

LIBERTY FOR SPALDING.
Judge Dunno Issues Writ in Heha1f
of the Chicago Banker Imprison-
ed in Joliet Penitentiary.

Chicago, July 30.-Judge Dunno, on
petition of Attorney w. G. Ander-
son, representing Former Banker
Charles W. Spalding, issued writ
of habeas corpus, returnable Friday,
and Jailer Whitman, armed with the
writ, left at 11:15 a. m. for Joliet,
accompanied by Attorney Anderson,
Mrs. Spalding and other friends of
the imprisoned banker.
Pending final action in the habeas
corpus proceedings, the ex-banker
will be in the custody of the jailer.
Mrs. Spalding was in Judge DUNES
court room when the writ was is
sued, and showed joyful agitation,
but managed to control her emo
tiOnS.
Judging by previous decisions
touching the action of the board of
pardons in the matter of paroles, it
is not unlikely that the present ac-
tion in the case Of Spalding will re-
suit in the ex-banker's release from
the penitentiary

ABOUT THE HOUSE.

Attractive cushion covers in pink
art ticking are finished with morrow
border of Powered white denim in the
daintiest patterns, and at each corner
is large white cotton tassel.
Water in which mignonette has been
placed should be changed often, since
it quickly becomes fowl. Heliotrope
should not be mixed with other cut
flowers in water. They decay quickly
and have a harmful effect upon the
other blossoms.
Pure grape juice-a delicious and
healthful drinks as good hot as
cola. 1t should be mixed for this ser
vice half and half with hot water, with
bit of orange or lemon peel added.
A few cloves, perhaps one to each cup
full, stepped with it to add to the flavor.
Bamboo paper is a sketchy, Japan
csc affair on a ribbed white ground
with a frosty finish. The designs of
reeds and leaves is all in deft blue,
shading down to a sort of marine, es-
pecially at the points and veinings. It
is charming, and, like the palm leaf,
calls for muslin draperies.
Common yellow soap, moistened
slightly and spread quickly over a
fresh mosquito bite, will, it is said,
soon relieve the singing pain. The
same application is good for bites of
other insects.
A new idea for a five o'clock tea is to
drop three or four whole cloves into
each cup just before pouring in the
hot tea, and leaving them there for a
moment that the essential oil may be
extracted. The tea may be served with
the cloves in it, or, if one is fastidious
about it's appearance, the one cup may
be poured into another through the
! silver strainer and the cloves removed,
Sliced lemon is to be used with this
tea, and the mingling of the favors is
really delicious.
