DEADW0OD STILL ISOLATED
Waters Have Fallen Some, But the
Damage VIII Be Very
Heavy.

Omaha, Neb., June IA special to
the Bee from Deadwood, S. D., says:
While the waters of Whitewood
creek have fallen to considerable
extent, they are still high enough to
completely isolate the city from the
small surrounding towns, and camps
are being brought in over the noun
tains on pack horses. The tIrst esti-
mate Of the damage to the city is
about correct, while that to the sur
rounding camps and country may ag-
gregate trifle more. At Terry,
on Saturday night, the dam of the
Horse Shoe Mining Co.. broke, letting,
the impounded waters come with
rush through the main street of the
camp. The flood struck a saloon in
which we're eight men, two of them
Slavonians, rushed for the door and
plunged into the stream in their ex-
element and were drowned. Their
bodies were recovered MONDAY morn
ing. The building collapsed and the
others were badly injured, one man
having his leg broken, while the rest
were otherwise hurt.

it was the women who are responsible
for the immoral tone of the modern
newspapers. AS a matter of fact, it
is the men,"
The newspapers read by women, she
declared, are delivered at the homes,
not bought on the streets. Modern
yellow journalism, in her opinion, was
only "a temporary reversion to the old
scandalous type of publication of the
days when women did not read as they
do now.
She predicted it would not last.

What Did He Meant

The other day, Calvert, Jr., wanted
to change his grocer.
That is, he wanted to change from
one grocer to another.
Not that the one he had didn't need
changing, or he did.
That was the reason Calvert, Jr,
wanted to change.
Because he saw no reason to be-
lieve he could change the one he had
so as to make him suit.
So he went to another grocer few
blocks away and said:
II want to start an account here.
hope there will be no trouble about my
getting credit here a month at
timer

What did he mean?

hesitates to order anything from the
