Marconi is quoted as saying that
with his system Of wireless telegraphy
it is feasible to send messages across
the Atlantic at a cost of not to exceed
one-half cent per word. It will be in
teresting to note the length Of time it
takes the capitalists to secure control
of transmitting messages is just the
same as by the cable system. The
old railroad theory OF making the
eight charge what ever the traffic
would bear without stopping the
traffic is the one being applied in the
business world in all lines. The
charge made has no relation to the
cost of the service but is based on the
amount it is possible to eXtort for the
service

becomes a despised mental where he

starve. All this talk about making

BIG LOSS OF LIFE.
Waterspout Of Immense Proportions
Strikes a Pleasure Park.

Greensburg. Pa, July IA water
spout of immense proportions, STRIKING
in the vicinity of OakfOrd Park yester-
dav afternoon at 4 o'clock created a
food that caused great loss OF lie u
property. 1t is known that at least
fifty persons lost their lives, and ru-
O place the number OF dead at
more than 100. The majority were
drowned or had their lives beaten out
against the rocks in Brush creek,
but quite a number were e"lectrocuted.
At 8 O'Clock rain began to fall In
torrents in the vicinity of the park
and spread over a territory covering
probably ten miles. A half hour later
the cloudburst occurred and the UNI
brellas carried by the crowds of peo-
pie were crushed like eggshells. the
water in the lake of Oxford Park be-
gan to swell and Manager James NC
Grath, believing there was danger OF
a final break in the great walls or the
dam. hurried among the Groves
who had gathered under the roofs OF
the eating stands, the merry-go-rOund,
the theater, the dancing pavilion n
other buildings in line of the water II
the banks should break, and warned
them to run to the hills. A half-hour
after the buildings had been cleared
of the people the water mounted the
walls of the dam and within a few
minutes waters to the depth OF five
feet we're flowing over the entire
E-~A 80 +GN y-n Thn
park. studded with buildings, the mer-
r~v-go-round, the laughing gallery and
other amusement places were twisted
about, and all but the dancing pavll-
ion and large lunch stands were
wrenched from their foundations. The
rain continued to fall in torrents and
at q o'clock forty feet of the wall OF
the dam to the east gave way with a
crash. When the dam broke a solid
wall OF water twenty feet high rushed
down and completely filled the narrow
ravine with it's car tracks, barn and
restaurant. In front of the a barn
stood a car containing from
Fifty to Seventy Passengers,
many of them seeking to return to
Jeanette, others using it as a TEN.
porary shelter. With the immense
body of water behind it, the crest OF
the flood bore down with irresistible
force. AS it swept down the narrow
rayine it carried with it the loaded
street car and the crowded restaurant
The flood was filed with men, women
and children struggling for their lives
The poles carrying the heavily
charged trolley wires were uprootec
and strewn along the grounds. In g
number Of instances - how many Is
not known-the victims of the flood
grasping for anything that might saw
them from the fury of the water
seized the trolley wires and met deatf
by being e~lectrocuted instead OF beins
drowned. Several bodies have al
ready been recovered that showed
death was the result of this cause.

WILL BUILD.
Burlington Trolley Line Is Assured to
Terry.

The Burlington Railway company
has at last automatically announced its
intention to build the trolley line
through upper Lead and continue the
road to the town of Terry. The time
of commencing operations will simply
depend on the progress of the work
Of extending the line through the city
of Lead. The battery is in full sway
and much expense has thus been cut
off from the road, which formerly was
attached owing to the loss of power
on the trips between DeadwOod and
Lead. The road which is now in prog
ress through Lead is in the hands Of
competent men, who have received in
structions to push the work with all
haste possible. The company already
has a line of railroad to Terry and
will in all probability string the wires,
as was done on the line from Dead
wood, so as to make the work Of reach
ing the mountain city very simple.
The line will also be extended by the
company to Speartish, but not this
year. as the work o on hand Will
cause the company an enormous
amount of labor.

BLOODY RACE O
Evansville, Ind. Is In the Hands OF a
Desperate Mob.

Evansville, Ind, July This city
Is in the hands of a mob and the gov
ernor has ordered out troops to restore
order. Whites and negroes are armed
and threaten the determination OF
each other. The race riot is the out
come of the killing of a policeman by
a negro Friday night. Feeling has
run high ever since the tragedy and
threats have been made against the
negroes life. Fearing an assault upon
the Jail the authorities secretly re-
moved the negro to Vincennes, where
he now lies at the point Of death
from his wounds.
At / o'clock this morning a mot or
1000 persons forced an entrance into
the Jail and made a search for the
prisoner. The people refused to be-
lieve that the negro had been removed
from the city. The crowd shouted
death to the negroes" and the police
fear they will murder all the negro
| prisoners Unfortunately. The the
| race war started late last night when
a little boy named Logan was shot IN
the leg by a negro. An unknown ne
gro woman has been killed n sew
eral negroes have been seriously in
jured. The entire police force is sta
toned at the Jail and the negroes are
taking possession of the town.
A company Of negroes, armed with
Winchesters, is marching through the
streets, threatening to kill all white
people. They have broken into a
hardware store and secured all the
arms and ammunition.
At 2 o'clock this morning the crowds
on the streets were increasing and
firing was heard in all directions
Disorder and deadly rioting are every
where and every one of the thousands
on the streets is carrying his life III
his hands. The police are being
cheered for numerous arrests OF the
negroes they are making. Every time
a negro is taken into custody the 70
lice are applauded and hundreds o.
people are following the wagon. A
whole patrol wagon load of negroes
was picked up on Water street anc
about 300 shots were fired as they
passed up Main street. The mol Is
still going through the streets LOOKING
for negroes. The Acme hotel had Il

MARRiES HIS COUSIN.
South Dakota Authorities PROCEEDING
Against Him for the Act.


]. E. S~tainbrook OF Parkston has
been arrested for violating the mar.
riage laws Of this state. About two
weeks ago he came to Mitchell and
was united in marriage to Miss Della
Glendy. and after their return to
Parkston they endeavored to keep the
matter as quiet as possible, but it
soon gained publicity. The states
attorney secured the necessary infor.
nation from Mitchell that the couple
was married, and then caused Stain
brooks arrest. The couple are cous.
ms and the law does not recognize a
marriage where those relations are
sustained. StainbrOok first tried to
C a marriage license in Hutchin-
son county, but was refused when he
disclosed the relationship existing be-
tween himself and the bride. He went
TO Hanson county and met the same
fate. When he appeared in Dawson
county Stainbrook evaded the ques.
ton asked by the clerk of courts as to
any possible relation that might exist
between the contracting parties. 1t is
understood that the case against Stain,
brook will be tried at the next term of
court in Hutchinson county.

WOOL
A Large Field In the Southern Coun.
flee

Capt. A. w. Lavender, who has pur-
chased practically all the wool raised
around Yankton this year, furnishes
the following facts in regard to tho
sheep industry in the territory he COW
ers: In Yankton, he says, about 49,
600 pounds of wool was raised; in Bon
Homme, 5000 pounds; in Hutchinson,
$4,000 pounds, and in Douglas, 5000
pounds. Of this amount the Hutter-
ische society raised about SO, 900.
In Iankton county the Mennonites
cut 5000 pounds and Messrs. Klink
and Saylor, living neal Scotland, had
most of the balance.
All this wool was Of good quality
and sold for from 1912 to 1912 cents
per pound. Jacob Roth of Hutchinson
county sold the largest individual
amount, being the fleeces from zoo
sheep, which brought him about SIPS
per fleece.
