St. Louis, July "A special to the Republic from Dallas, Texas, says: A cloudburst and tornado swept over the country between San Antonio and Corpus Christi today and news was re- ceived late tonight that eleven persons are known to have lost their lives near Pettus. There are Iumors of other fla talities. Reports of terrible loss of life at Beeville were received early in the evening. but late tonight roundabout telegraph connections were secured with Dallas. The Beeville operator says that some buildings were damag ed, but there were no lives lost.
 The San Antonio telephone office re- ported that there is a strip of country between there and Beeville in which all wires are down and that it has not been possible to hear from them. The storm was most severe in that section

Marred by the Loss of a
 Human Life
THE WEATHER WAS BAD
The Constitution Suffered Damage and the Reliance Was Hurt But Made a Good Showing in the Cir cumstanceS.

Newport. R. l., July 2.-For the first time in the history of American ninety footers a fatal accident occurred to- day Carl B. Olsen, a seaman on the old cup defender Columbia, was washed from the bowsprit just before the yacht reached the first turn in to- days race and was drowned. When the yacht lifted from the big wave into which she had plunged. Olsen was seen almost under the stem, clinging to the bobstay, but before assistance could be given him the sloop dipped into another great comber and he was not seen af- terwards.
 Captain Miller of the Columbia thinks that Olsen was struck by the over hanging of the craft as it came smash ing down, and knocked him insensible. The Columbia came into the wind in stantly. Two life buoys were thrown into the water and the tender was put overheard as quickly as possible. Two men jumped into the tender and rowed around for twenty minutes ready to pick Olsen up if he came to the surface Three sailors swarmed up the mast and watched closely from the spreaders for some signs of the unfortunate man. but without success. Out of respect to lne uedu llldI lllt NOluAilOld from the race.
 At nine o'clock the committee posted he following bulletin at the club sta- tion: The Newport series for ninety footers will not be finished.'' There will be no more racing until the yachts start on the New York Yacht clubs cruise.
 Today's race was also marred by mishap to the Constitution. Soon after the start she carried away the jaws of her gaff and her great steel spar, swinging forward. buckled in the cen ter. The mainsail was ripped clear across several times and rendered practically worthless. It was the best mainsail the boat had spread this season. and was the third that had been tried this year.
 The Reliance received the severest buffeting she has had since being launched. The sea was a terrific one for racing yachts and when the yacht reached her moorings it was noticed that she had a big dent five feet long in the plating close to the water line on the port bow. The indentation was similar to that the Constitution sus- tained two years ago. The Reliance sailed splendidly in today's event. The wind blew more than twenty miles an hour and all three yachts found that they could not even carry small work ing tcpsails to windward, so they went off under the three lower sails.
 It was the stiffest breeze and hardest sea that the boats have been out in since the seasons racing began and had there been no accidents the record for thirty mile triangular course would have been cut down, con sIderably As it was the Reliance, with no craft to push her, and with only a No. 1 jib topsail hoisted in addition to the three lower sails, came to the fin ish line from the second turn in Al minutes, 10 seconds. the fastest ten mile leg ever sailed.

For the Presentation of the
 Petition to Russia
F II SHOULDBE REJECTED
The United States Will Have Per formed Its Part and That Will Be the End oft Followed By No III Feeling.

Washington, D. C.. July s-Actiuc Secretary of State I,oomis has haa, notified that the petition in behalf of the Russian Jews will probably be de- ivered at the state department. or at Oyster Bay. in about a week Without delay and immediately upon receipt of the petition by the United States gov ernment it will be dispatched 10 MT. Riddle, United States charge at St. Petersburg.
 It will be accompanied by a note or .transmittal. instructing NIT. Riddle exactly what disposition to make of the petition, for there is no intention here to place any undue responsibility oa the charge in this matter. The department does not at present expect to publish that note, so that it's nature is a mat ter of speculation. the weight of o2in- ion being that Mir. Riddle will be in- structed to inquire of the Russian CoV- ernment whether il is willing to re- coive petition, the nature of which will be plainly indicated by him
 If there is a negative response. MT. Riddle will so notify the state depart ment and that probably will end the efforts of the department in connection with the petition The president. through Secretary Hall. informed his Jewish callers that he could not tell what reception the petition would meet with at the hands of the Russian gov ernment. and should the petition fail of reception after Mir. Riddles efforts. it would absolve the president from further pursuit in the matter.
 Meanwhile, and until the petition is received here, there is nothing more to be done, it is said. Through the news papers. in an unofficial but in a quite adequate manner. the governments oE the United States and Russia have sc- quainted each other with their respec- tive attitudes concerning the Jewish petition and all that remains Is to await the working out of the pro grammes.
 Count Cassini. the Russian ambas- sador. called at the state department today to present Theodore Hansen as charge during the absence of the am bassadoT. The counts stay at the de- partment was very short. and after the formal introduction of Hansen. in his new capacity, he conversed briefly with Acting Secretary LOomis concerning the statement issued last night rela- tive to the Jewish petition and Man 
 churia, not by instruction from his government or in any formal way. and MT. Loomis' remarks were under the same conditions. so that the circum- stance Of the conference was a simple repetition of the published statements of the probable course and attitude Oc the two countries regarding the petl- ton and Manchuria. rather in the way of furnishing information than with the intent of binding either party to an understanding.
 Thus it appeared that Russia stiii consistently held to the theory that she. like the United States. held that there should be no interference in the inter nal affairs of nations. However. both parties parted in the greatest good humor. which was a source of gratifi- cation as it will probably he their last meeting before the ambassador sails for Europe.

 HOrSeman MCCdnn
He was Last Seen With Him and lie Was Fatally Inquisitive About the Wounds.

She said that later Harrington made every endeavor to persuade her not to inquire into her husbands absence.
 Other testimony developed that Bar rington had asked about the bullet holes in the dead mans head before it was known that there were such bullet holes.

FEED THEM
The Way to Build Up Wasting Child
 ren.


 When babies begin to waste away and fail there is but one thing to do and that is find the proper food.
 Physicians have never yet found a stomach, young or old, that would not digest the scientific food Grape-Nuts, for Grape Nuts is the most perfect food form in the world and will nourish and build up any stomach no matter how weak.
 A Washington lady says: 'I had lost two children from marasmus, or vast ing away. before my little boy Maurice came and when I found nothing agreed with him in the way of food you can imagine how I felt.
 No food seemed 60 satisfy his little stomach as he would bite his fingers and appeared to be slowly starving to death, crying all the time. It was pitt able to see and hear him and when he was seven months old I certainly thought l would lose him. It was then my sister begged me to try Grape Nuts. which I did using three tablespoonfuls covered with a half pint of scalded milk and a half pint of boiling water which after standing awhile was strained and fed from the bottle.
 From this time baby began to inn prove and he took absolutely no other food until I weaned him from the bot tie. He could not take milk in any form except on Grape Nuts. He is now in good health, strong and sturdy and nearly three years old and I am very proud indeed of my Grape Nuts boy" Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.

THE POPE'S HEALTH
It May Only Be Said that He May Be
 Victim of Years.

Rome, July 2.-Telegrams from abroad again started the rumor tonight that the pope was ill. The report was quite unfounded. no change having oc- cured in the pontiff's health since his recovery from the hemOrrhoidal indis- position which troubled him early in June.
 The pope certainly is not what he was two years ago. but only as regards his strength, which has notably di- unfinished owing to his advanced age and not on account of any specific ill., ness. All the doctors who have exam ined him say that if nothing unfore- seen happens he will live at least an other five years.

each other so close for second place that it will not be known until Friday whether Deknyff or Farman is entitled to the honor. Only one minute divided them. It is thought likely that Dek- nyff's claim to second place will be held. The most remarkable features of the race were its practical immunity from serious accidents and the wretch ed showing by the American team. At Bally Shannon, which is the headquar- tsrs for the race, no news had been re- ceived tonight of anyone being injured except one Of the contestants, the Eng fish crack Jarrott, and his chauffeur.
 Jarrott had a miraculous escape from death, and now lies with a broken col larbone and badly bruised body. His chauffeur also has a fractured collar bone, besides a broken leg. Both, how ever, are doing well. The accident oc- cured through the steering gear of the favorite English car getting out of or der when going at full speed. Instead of turning a corner, the automobile ran straight into the bank at the side or the road and was smashed in two. How the occupants escaped death is more than they themselves can explain. Stocks. another Englishman, had his car disabled through the same cause, but was not injured.
 Baron De Caters, after making a splendid race. broke the axle of his car, and FoxhaIl Keene retired because of a similar accident Moers and Winton of the American team both failed to fin ish, owing to a Arrangement in the me chanism of their cars, and Owen. the third member of the team. completed only five out or seven laps of the race. Thus only five out of twelve starters completed the course One of these. Edge. the holder of the cup. came in long after the race was officially de- clared over.
 The poor showing of the American competitors is generally attributed to the excessive lightness of their cars.

THE WOOD MINES COMPANY,

THE WOOD MINES COMPANY, capital stock s5O,OOOOO (5,0OO shares par value $1O0O per share), is being or ganized to purchase and operate a group of gold mines near Phoenix whose substantial value has just been demonstrated. The stock is limited and has all been placed, but as the enter prise is of particular interest to Phoe- nix business men (from whom all sup plies used are being purchased), 1,25O shares at $12.50 per share have been set aside from the company's treasury for sale in Phoenix.
 The conservatism of this proposition must be self-evident. Under ordinary methods such a property would be foated on a million dollar capitaliza- tion. Instead of spending large sums for guady pamphlets, agents commis- sions, "secretary's salaries" etc, the entire receipts from this sale of stock Will be used in purchasing a mill, con- centration and cyanide plant, so that the mine will immediately become a producer and dividend payer. It is in fact, "ground floor" opportunity.
 Tn 1900 I demonstrated that the old Cobre Grande Co, on a capitalization of half a million, could earn net profits of $1,500.00 per day. I can as truthfully assert that after installation of the plant above referred to, the net earn ings of the Wood Mines Co. will eX- ceed 30 per cent of the capitalization.
 shall be at the mines for several days but can be reached by addressing me at 42 N. Center St.

In the Dispute Between It and the

Tien Tsin, July 2.-The final award in the Anglo Russian railway dispute has been rendered and practically comedies every claim put forth by the British company. The case dates back to March, 1901, when Russia undertook to prevent the Tien Tsin-Pekin company from constructing siding at Tien Tsin on ground which Russia claimed that it had acquired prior to the troubles in 1900.
 The occupation of the ground by Russian troops in March, 1901. resulted in the latter being confronted by a body of British infantry and the situa- tion for a time was extremely delicate. Diplomatic intervention relieved the tension and the matter was referred to arbitration.
