There is very little probability Of

over 100 Killed BY Terrific Wind
Storm at Gainesville, Ga.
Gainesville, Ga. June This city
was struck by a terrific cyclone, killing
over 100 persons. unroofing the citg ho-
tells, other large bildings, and destroy
ing the Gainesville cotton mills. The
greatest loss of life was in the destruc-
ton of the cotton mills. where 81 per-
sons were killed and scores injured.
Eighteen persons were killed in the
city between the centre of town and
the railroad station. where four large
stores were blown down. The storm
had driven many persons into these
stores for refuge. There were 500 per-
sons at work in the cotton mill when
the cyclone struck. The mill was a
three-story building. The first story
was left standing, but badly wrecked.
With a terrible crash the two upper
stories OF the building were swept
away. leaving 32 operatives dead in the
room. The cyclone then swept around
the outskirts of the city to the suburb
of New Holland. two miles away,
where are located the PacOlet cotton
mills, one of the largest institutions Of
this character in the south. =. ..e plant
Of the Pacoiea Company was not seri-
ously damaged, but probably 100 cot
tages standing nearby, occupied by the
operatives who were employed in the
mills. were completely demolished,
killing 33 people. These were mostly
women and children, as the heads OF
the families were nearly all in the fac
tory ct work.
The store of Joseph Logan, near the
Gainesville cotton mill, was crushed to
ruins by the wind, and eight men who
had taken refuge in it were instantly
killed.
The Jones general store met SINH
lar fate, and in the ruins two people,
one man and one woman, were crushed
to death. The woman was Mrs. Jones,
wife of the proprietor.
Reports from White Sulphur, seven
miles from Gainesville, are to the ef-
feet that the storm struck there with
terrific force, killing a dozen people.
This, however. is not absolutely con-
frmed
The physicians who have assisted IN
the work of relief say that the scenes
at the mills were appalling, the victims
being crushed and mangled in every
conceivable manner.
The Richmond Hotel was wrecked,
and several perished along with it. One
hundred and twenty-five cottages, a
scheolhouse and a church were blown
away in the negro section Of the town.
Five. brick stores. on the maia street
Of Gainesville were swept away. In
all 200 buildings are demeashed here.

St. Louis. June S.-Thirty feet. the
danger point. was reached and passed
by the flood that is coming down the
Mississippi river. The crest of the
flood from the Kansas and Missouri
rivers is yet to come, and when it
shall reach here and be increased by
high water in the Mississippi some
loss Of life is feared and destruction
TO property must ensue. The first loss
attending the present flood in this vi
cinity was reported in the drowning
of Mrs. William Schmidt and her two
children in an attempt to escape in a
fiat boat from Caytish Island in the
Missouri river. Schmidt and his fam
lily of four were compelled to abandon
their home on the island, and put
some of their household goods in the
small boat on which they depended
for safety In midstream the boat
eapsized, and Schmidt was able to
save only one of his children.

watch of the situation. All they could
see was the angry water rushing about
among the trunks of the trees. One
OF the men said that they could not

ed to their other misery. and not one
of them had any hopes Of escaping.

horrible nightmare for the past two
days. Early on Thursday we saw that

like to leave their own homes, put off
the time as long as possible. It came
near being our undoing. Friday the
whole of North Topeka, it seemed,

we could not even take a blanket.

stroyed. as it was in the direct path

Hundreds of others are in as bad a

H. ]. Henry, a hardware merchant,
first sent his father and mother to
safety and then undertook to remain
and keep their property out of the
hands Of l. 1ters. He managed to es-
cape when the food came by riding
trusty horse. AS far as Mr.. Henry
knows. his stock Of hardware has
been swept away with the building and
entire establishment.
These are only a few of numerous
instances of distress. Hundreds who
were rich are now poor and the poor

sooo HomeIess at Des Moines.

Des Moines. Ia. June 1.-Once more
hope has been inspired in the breasts
of the 5000 food refugees by the report
that the river has begun to slowly de-
cline. So far as is known but seven au-
thenticated fatalities have been report
ed. For over two days it has rained
constantly and the mercury has stood
close TO the freezing point. Scores OF
men. women and children have spent
hours at a time in soaking wet gar
ments, sitting on the roofs of their
homes awaiting the arrival of rescuers.
The last of these was removed last
evening. More fatalities will result
from exposure than from drowning.
The property loss will mount into the
millions.

whole United States without a rail-
road.
1t has been said that a straight line
can be drawn from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
to Park City, Utah, east Of Salt Lake
City, for $50 miles without touching a
railroad track. From Silver Plume,
ifty-four miles west of Denver, to
Provo, Utah, a similar straight line of
3OO miles can be drawn without touch
Ing a railroad track. 1t Is 225 miles
from Grand Junction, Colo, on the
Denver and Rio Grande Railway, due
north to the Union Pacific in southern
Wyoming. The Union Pacific at its
nearest point is 106 miles to the north,
and the Denver and Rio Grande Is 1913
miles on the south. The route Of the
new railway Is midway between these
points.
This territory, without a single rail-
road, doing It's business by stage, wag-
on or on foot, now contains several
thousand persons who are engaged in
raising sheep and cattle and In mining
in a small way and doing the best they
! can against all the obstacles arising
from a lack Of transportation. How
greatly will a railroad, affordlng ade-
quate transportation to persons engag-
ed in all classes Of industry, develop

late farmers to take up farms, expand
small villages into towns and, in
word, make a rich country Of what Is

Innovations in journalism are not
generally looked for In Europe, but
Paris Of late has been doing a few
things in that line which have been
distinctly new. The latest Is a Jour-
nal for beggars, which has been start
ed for the purpose Of disseminating
useful information among the mendi-
cant fraternity, and the price Of which
Is s cents a copy. At a glance it would
seem as If this charge was rather high,
considering the supposed straitened
means Of it's readers, but presumably
the editors know what they are about.
The advertisements furnish interest
Ing reading for beggars temporarily
out Of a job, though 1t Is difficult to
understand how the advertiser could
expect to receive an answer to the fol-
lowing:
"Wanted-a blind man who can play
the flute a little"
Probably some unfortunate dumb man
will tell his blind confrere of the va
cancy.

vertised vacancy which requires awk-

two roads will connect at Salt Lake
City, thus establishing a through con-
nection between Denver and the Pa
cifc coast.
When it is borne in mind that Mr..
Moffat's new road will connect at
Denver with the Rock Island and the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the
Importance of this new connection be-
comes apparent.
The Denver, Northwestern and Pa

ritory, from Denver to Salt Lake City,
a distance of approximately 500 miles,
being 235 miles less than by the Den
yer and Rio Grande Railway between
Denver and Salt Lake City.
The section through which the road
will go Is as large as the State of
Pennsylvania and Is rich In minerals,
anthracite coal and splendid agrlcul-

traversed by a single road.
The great territory northwest OF
Denver, as yet undeveloped, Is greater
In area than the combined areas Of Yer

DON'T GET MARRIED, they SAY."
After Fifty Years of Welded Life a rlan

"Never get married" Such is the
advice given to young people by Mrs.
Reuben Nagle, q farmer, of st. Law
renee, Pa, a sad-faced women of sew
enty years. Her husband is about the
same age, and for half a century they
lived together as man and wife. Only
the other day they agreed to live apart,
and they went about making the ar
engagements apparently without a pang
of regret. First, they went to an at
.torney's office and he drew up the
papers. Next they had deeds prepared
making an equal division of their prop
erty. They started out In life with
little, and wound up half a century Of
matrimony with about $4,000 invested
in real estate and securities. This was
amicably divided without the shadow
Of a difference. The lawyer having
prepared the papers handed them to
the couple and the husband paid his
fee. Then they walked to the court
house together, filed the papers in the
Recorders office, and in the corridor
Of the building separated without a
display Of any emotion whatever.
well, good-by," he said, and she re-
piled "Good-by." They did not even
shake hands, only the slightest nod as
each went his or her own way.
Their neighbors declare that they
never knew them to quarrel, though
they often had strong differences OF
opinion. "In fact" said Mr.. Nagle
1--WE drifted as naturally into the idea
of separating as we did into matrl
mony. We simply decided to live apart
because we weren't happy, and that's
all there Is about it."
Mrs. Maggie has resumed her resi-
dence In the old homestead, which she
entered as a bride and has occupied
ever since. 1t was there that she was
found and questioned as to her views
on marriage, when she declared: 'Nev
