WORST ss-.ckM OF
MANI FEARS.
Five Inches ST Rain Fell During
Last Nights Storm.

The old timer with his fund
Of "reminiscences relating to the
storms "they used to have" is
up against it good and hard to-
day. Last nights storm, that
ragged in this section of the
state for several hours, COM
mencing about midnight, was
the worst storm of many years,
about five inches of rain falling
from midnight until this morn
ing The loss in the rural
districts will be APPALLING. Har-
vest was in full progress and
the unthreshed wheat which
had been piled in shocks await
ing the threshers, was scattered
broadcast, thousands upon
thousands of tons of hay scat
tered to the wind, and many
fields of corn were laid low bt :
fore the storms fury.
The railroads were the great
est sufferers, however. With
only one exception, there was
not a single train in or out of
Missouri Vale v today until
about / o'clock this afternoon,
the only train to leave being
the Lincoln passenger train,
which starts from here. The
track was washed out for a
considerable distance near
Honey Creek, causing many
hours delay, while the section
men made temporary repairs,
sufficient to permit of the pas
sage of the belatcd trains.

WASH OUT WRECKS
STOCK TRAIN
Engine and Six Car Load 81
Sheep Wrecked Near LOGAN

Chicago & North Western
freight train No. 12O ran into a
washout between Logan and
Woodbine about l O'clock this
morning and the engine and
six car load of sheep were
wrecked. None of the train
crew was injured but many of
the sheep were killed or so
badly manned they were killed
to end their suffering. When
the wrecking crew sent out
from this city arrived on the
scene the sides of cars not al
ready demolished were torn
off and the imprisoned sheep
allowed to escape. Both tracks
were blocked and all main line
traffic went around via Denison
and Onawa, reaching Mis-

Good ADVICE.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep-
STA and liver complaint. More than
seventy-tive per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects;
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habituel costlvsness, pslpitation of the
heart, heartburn, water brash, gnawing
and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach, yellow skim. coated tongue
and disagreeable taste III the mouth
coming up of food after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and
get bottle of August Flower for 75c.
Two doses will relieve you. Try it.

Seattle Post--lntelligence:
There is one point about the
persistent decline in the prices
of securities to cause some UNI
holy joy. This is that the out
side public has suffered but a
very small amount of loss: the
heaviest losers are the profess
sional traders and the multi
millionaires who made such en-
ormous sums out Of floating the
securities of the big trusts.
The outside investors have
been out of the market for
months. The lambs got out Of
the game early. The first de-
cline wiped out their narrow
margins, and there has been no
inducement for them to specu-
late since, for the decline has
been steady and unchecked.
Thus while the first loss fell on
the outside spectators, the final
and heavy losses have fallen
upon men who are abundantly
able to stand them. They have
simply parted very easily with
the millions which they made
very easily. The big plungers
are taking the medicine now,
and there are few sympathizers
with their grief.
There will not be such a heavy
importation of diamonds with
in the next few months as there
was in the last fiscal year. The
campagne market will be less
buoyant than it has been for
some time past. The paper
fortunes which were the wond-
ers of the country have been
shrinking at an appalling rate,
while through it all the real,
solid, substantial business of
the country has remained UNI
affected, save in the Slight
timidity apparent about engag-
ing in new ventures at a time
when "the street" is suffering
so severely: a timidity which,
while it has some effect on
business, has no warrant save a
sentimental one.
The game has about evened
things up. Fortunes have been
made and fortunes lost; but the
same group of large spectators
who made the original grains
have had to put up with the
final losses.

On these three acres Mr.. Cole
man has a strawberry patch

son, he has delivered 341 cases
to G. H. Towslee. The amount
received for this delivery was
$669.35. During the month Of
June there was only one week
day on which he failed to make
a delivery, and the largest
amount brought in one daysswas
SO cases, that on June 10. Be-
side the above amount "a cases
were sold to the neighbors, and
Mr.. Coleman had berries on his
table three times a day nearly
all month.
The expense of picking his
crop amounted to $3.50, twenty
five young people having been
employed. Some of them were
so proficient as to make $3.50 a
day. Glenwood Opinion.
Lone Tree Reporter: The
woman who sneers at a decent
kitchen girl ought to be made
to do her own work. To cook is
a highly respectable business
and to do good cooking requires
brains, experience and good
sense. Many good girls need
the wages to be earned in the
kitchen, but they hesitate to go
out to work because some fool
ish stuckup people point at them
the finger of scorn. The girl is
often a much better woman
than those who rail at her. If
she does her work we'll, contin-
ues faithful and keeps in a good
humor, she isas good as a queen.
She should be treated we'll and
helped along life's pathway in a
manner to increase her happi-
ness. The fact that a few do
mestics are immoral does not
argue against the class. We
have the wicked and immoral
in all vacations and in all pro-
fessions. All will not be good,
let all be as good as they can.

ton pays. Write to the Wood

funny any time in a country
town, but add it to a hot day
outfit and it becomes positively
circulating. This man wore
a cheap hand-me-down suit and
a heavy winter coat. His stove
pipe hat looked as if it had
been used for a birds nest,
and his shoes were cheap con-
gress CATERS with the rubber
worn out. The clothes do not
make the man, we believe
Burns says, but the style some
times shows off the shabby

Recent reports from Colon
bia regarding the Panama ca
nal are by no means encourage
ing. They are to the effect
that there is little prospect of
the Colombian getting together
and ratifying the treaty. They
have an idea that the United
States treasury is OVERLOOKING
with money and are inclined to
regard their own necessities
rather than what would consti-
tute a fair price for the canal
zone, and charter. Some say,
however, that President Mar
roquin appreciates that it would
be useless to try and extort
more from this country and
that, if the congress which
meets the Goth of this month
does not ratify, he will raise
some kind of disturbance and
under the cloak Of an insurrec-
ton ratify the treaty himself.
