HORRORS OF

Fatalities Running Into the
hundreds---The Loss of
Property Inestimable
COULDN'T RESCUE DROWNING
Helpless People Perishine Be-
fore Others Powerleds to
Render Assistance

TOPEKA, Kansas, June briefly
stated the present condition Of the
flood is this: 170 to $50 people drown
ed 5000 people without homes; S4,-
100000 loss of property destroyed;
Identified dead, five; floating bodies
seen, twenty; people missing, 200;
houses burned as a result Of fire in
lumber yards from Stacking lime,
porbably 200; banks collapsed two;
wholesale grocery houses flooded, two;
big business blocks almost ready to
tumble, fifty; wholesale commission
houses deserted, six; Rock Island
trains containing $50 passengers held
here by high water; city water-works
plant useless. Leading men have
made a careful examination of the
flood and all its conditions and as a
result Of their investigation they gave
25e as the probable number of lives
lost. A more conservative climate
places the number of dead at 175. The
higher number is as likely to be cor
rect as the lower. The water is so
high and the current so strong that
all that can be done is to rescue those
in the buildings surrounded by wat
er. 1t will be at least three days be-
fore the correct number of dead will
be decided upon.

DEATH OF
MRS. JULIEN
tstimabIe Lady, Well Known
Here, Passed Away in
Reno Saturday.
(Reno GaZette.l

After months of suffering Mrs. T.
V. Julien passed from this life at her
home on West street this morning
at l O'Clock.
Mrs. Julien was born in Louden
county. Virginia, on February a. 1S45
She went to Washington, d. c., when
small child and grew to womanhood
in that city. In November, 1875, she
was married to Hon. T. V. Julien, a
young lawyer from Humboldt county
Nevada
Mr. and Mrs. Julien came west i'm
mediately after their marriage, and
settling up business in Winnemuca
and have resided here constantly ever
since.
Mr.. and Mrs. Julien have enjoyed
ne most charming home life OF any
one who it has been our pleasure tC
know. They have raised an interesting
family of boys and girls, and all OF
them are musicians of rare ability
1 he music that goes out every even
ing from the Julien home tends tc
make the world brighter and better
Mrs. Julien leaves five children tC
mourn, and one o. the best and kind
est husbands any woman ever left
lonely and heart-broken. Louise is
the eldest of the children. Effy Frank
Ralph and May are the surviving
children.
Fred died of heart trouble about
one year ago, and the shock was Sc
great to a mothers love that she has
never seen a we'll day since.
A rather strange incident happened
lust before Mrs. Julien passed to un-
consciousness last night. She raised
quickly in bed and exclaimed: why
Fred!" as though the spirit of her
dead boy was lowering over her couch
Who can tell what that remark meant? ?
Was 1t an hallucination from the
diving cell of an active brain. or was
red Julien there. waiting to take the
spirit OF the woman who bore MIN 10
other realms? Indeed. who knows?
Mrs. Julien was most devoted
woman to her family circle and moth
ing was too good for her loved ones.
Judge Julien is in very poor health
and the blow fails hard on him. To
see the partner of his joys and sorrows
for a life time cold in deaths en-
brace. is severe enough on the strong
est of us. but when the sick and dis
heartened are visited. the blow falls
doubly hard.
The funeral will be he'd Thursday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock from the family
residence ON West street
