PROPOSED ELEoTR!o HALLWAY
Talk Of a Line Between Windsor and
Springfield. ~.

1t Is reported that the business
men OF Fclchville and the Black
River valley have Interested capital
lists in the question of building an
IN electric IA lway from Windsor
through West Windsor, Felchyille,
Amsden, Ferkinsvile and North
Springfield to the Springfield elec.
trio railway running to Chare~lowr,
\. H., on the river division Of the
Boston q Maine railroad.
At Amsdcn Il large amount IF
lime is produced yca'lE and this is
hauled by horses a considerable dis
lanee. At Perkinsyi|e there has
been II hourishing soapstone Industry
and two mills that were abandoned
some wears ago because of the cost
of hauling material from and the
product Of the mills to railway
station. In the event of the build
ing of this raj lway these AND many
other industries doubtless will be
started again.
From Amsden it is proposed to
have line to Cavenfsh ON the
Rutland ruilwayr This would give
the people south Of Mortified on
the Cel trail Vermont better line
for travel to western Vermont
points than they now have
+. Z. Crosby of Brattleboro and
NJ. 4: Coolidge of I'itchburg, who
are interested in several electric
railroad enterprises, went over the
route last week.

ENID, OKLAHOMA, is VICTIM
Waters Rush Upon the People While
They are SIeeping-Lose All Their
Belongings ard Are Glad to Escape
With Their Lives.

ENID, Okla-Hundreds of persons
were rendered homeless and property
damage estimated at 100000 was
done in the Enid bottoms alone by
the cloudburst that struck west Of
this city at midnight Saturday night.
The aggregate damage Will doubtless
be raised much higher by losses sus-
tanned between Enid and the seat Of
the storm. At u o'clock a bank OF
water three feet high and 200 feet
wide swept down through the bot
toms, carrying houses and every
thing before it. 1t came down upon
Enid without warning while most of
its citizens were asleep. Within a
few minutes 100 houses were partly
or completely submerged. Rescuers
went to work Immediately and all
night labored industriously saving per-
sons from perilous positions and aid
ing those driven from their homes.
1t was found that several hundred
were homeless.
Many pitiable scenes were witness
ed as the people stood around waiting
for the water to sUbside. Many had
lost everything they possessed. The
citizens are busily engaged relieving
the distress but the means at hand
are inadequate. The rainfall the past
ten days has been the heaviest in the
history Of Oklahoma, and indications
are that more will follow. Reports
of losses in the country west of Enid
are meagre, but it is believed that
heavy damage was done.

Do,s Smell Death

There's an old superstition that a
bowling dog in front of the house Of
an i'll person porten0s death. One
prominent physician believes absolute
ly in it. The physician has a wonder
fully acute sense of smell. Frequent
ly, he says. he can foretell the coming
OF death within twenty-four hours or
the patients demise. Within two days
of death, he says, peculiar earthly
odor becomes noticeable about a per-
son about TO die. He tells of one case
where he became aware OF the peculiar
odor while talking to an apparently
healthy man. That night the man
dropped dead of heart disease. The
physician is far from attributing e
peculiar manif }station to other than
physiological reasons. His own sense
of smell is abnormally acute.

SIGN THE TREATY
CUBA AND UNCLE SAM CON-
CLUDE COMPACT.
THEIR SIGNATURES ARE PLACED
All Provisions Of Platt Amendment
Are lncorporated-Obi elections Made
Are All Overcome-An Urgent Mes
sage from President Palma.

HAVANA-The permanent treaty
between the United States and Cuba,
in which is incorporated all the proyi-
sions of the Platt amendment, was
signed Friday afternoon.
The signing of the treaty took place
at 4:30 at the Office of the secretary
of state. The signers were Secretary
of State Zaldo and United States Min
Observation-Disclosures for that purpose. Sc
nor Zaldo and Mr.. Squiers simply met,
accompanied by their secretaries, and
the signing was accomplished and cop
les of the treaty exchanged within a
few minutes
The permanent treaty contains no
provision for its abrOgatiOn and no
eXtraneOus conditions of any kind. 1t
simply Incorporates the entire Platt
amendment into the form of a treaty.
The length of time consumed by the
negotiations was principally due to
the fact that the Cuban government
desired to include in the treaty yari
Gus eXtraneous conditions, especially
one to the effect that there should be
no intervention into Cuban affairs by
the United States, except through the
interyer ton of the United States. All
these conditions were rejected.
The Associated Press correspondent
saw a number Of senators with re-
spect to the ratification OF the naval
stations treaties during this session
Of congress, but they were not in
clined to be communicative. 1t re-
mains evident that there is Il tendency
to allow tle treaties to go over this
session.
An urgent message from President
Palma, which will accompany the
sending of the treaty to the senate,
will have a strong effect.
Senor Sanguilly, the most active op-
pOnelt of the treaties with the Uni
ted States, said he would oppose the
permanent treaty. because under It'll
the United States, being the stronger
power, could itself decide when inter-
ventiOn was desirable, regardless of
the wishes of Cuba. Other senators
say that the paragraph relating tOI
the Isle of Pines should have been
eliminated
1t is now expected that an agree
ment covering the details of the Uni
ted States naval stations will be reach |
ed by President Palma and United |
States Minister Squiers within three |
weeks.
