Kansas City. Aug. "A special to the
Times from Salina, Kan. says:
a cloudburst which occurred today
flooded the lowlands and valleys from a
point near LlndsbOrg northwest to Ellis

northwest from Lindsborg is all under
water, and at Carnerio, BrOckville and
Bavaria the water is from one to two
feet deeper than during the recent Hood.
At CarneriO the streets were flooded ana
the water reached the platform OF the
Union Pacific depot. Residences in the
lower part OF the town are from one TO
three 1eet under water. Twelve miles OF
the Union Pacific track west of Brook
Vile was swept off the rOad-bed and the
Union Pacific passenger train due here
at midnight last night arrived here at
noon today, having used the Missouri
Pacific tracks from EllsW ORTIZ.
The storm caught the train at Arcoia,
east of Ellsworth, and for parS of the
way back to Ellsworth the passengers
got out and assisted in the work of crib

that was stopped many years ago. and
the jealousy between the two sects has
ever since grown in bitterness.
For nearly two years the governor of
Jerusalem has kept MOhammedan sol
diers at the tomb for fear of violence. At
the door OF the church a Greek monk and
an Armenian monk are always standing
as SenuneiS, and they inspect every Wis
itOr that comes TO the place with careful
scrutiny for fear a Franciscan monk may
enter the tomb and do some damage. RO-
man Catholic priests and pilgrims are
not excluded. Every one. regardless of
sect race or condition. IS allowed to en-
ter the holy place except Roman Catholic
monks, who never appear because they
know that they would not be allowed 10
enter. The tomb and church are kept in
order by an equal number Of Greek and
premises. and MOhammedan soldiers de-
tailed by the Turkish Commandant are
always on guard night and day.
In February and early March there
were very heavy rains about Jerusalem.
and the brook kedrOu was sWelled until
it overlooked its banks. There has not
been such d flood for many years. The
current was so strong that part of She
retaining walls was carried away so that
the water rushed through tho strip OF
land owned by the Roman Catholics be-
tween the brook and the tomb and flooded
the church After the storm was over II
was found that there were six feet Of
water IN the tomb proper and tho altar
was entirely submerged. The TAPESTRIES
and draperies We're ruined and consider
able other damage was done. As there
is no drainage the tomb is like a Well
and there being no pumping apparatus
in Jerusalem, the Greek and Armenian
monks were compelled TO BAH out tho
water with buckets. which WAS a task o.

governor of Jerusalem for permission to
repair the break in the retaining wall
which had caused the great calamity but

the wall themselves nor allow the Greeks

When their refusal became known

occasion sumo years ago when they asked
permission from the Greek patriach TO

STRUGGLE FOR TOMB
OF THE VIRGIN MARY
By William Z. Curtis.O

of another quarrel between the Greek
and Roman Catholic monks. this time
over the reputed tomb Of the HOLY Vir-
GIN which is covered by church orig
inally built in the fourth century by the
Empress Helena, on the bank of the
brook kedron. at the foot of the Mount
Of Olives. near the garden Of Gethsemane.
Very little is known Of the last DAYS of
the mother of Christ. and the place Of
her death and burial are disputed. MANY
historians believe that she acccmDapie
st. John. the beloved disciple to Antioch
and lived there under his protection. until
her death and that she was buried there
also But other traditions, which can be
traced back as far as the third century
represent that she died in Jerusalf , and
was buried where her present comb
stands. The original church was partly
destroyed by the Persians. but rebuilt
upon the old foundations during the cru
Sades by Milicent. daughter Of Baldwin
H. king Of Jerusalem.
The church is still i'm a good state Of
preservation and stands to the left of
