TWO AGED pERsONsDR0wNED
Other Cioudbursts Occurred at
Other Places, but Reports Of
Damage Have Not Yet
Been Sent In.

Arlington, Ore, July 1.-THE resi-
dents OF Heppner and Mitchell last
evening experienced thrilling repeti-
tIon Of the great catastrophe Of last
June, and, while the damage Is very
slight at the former place, Mitchell
residents were compelled to flee to the
hills for safety.
A wall Of water 25 feet high came
down Bridge and Mill creeks, which
unite about 300 yards above the town.
The flood claimed two victims, Martin
Smith, man nearly 100 years old, and
Mrs. Bethune, an aged woman. It also
carried away rs houses in its mad
onrusil. Everything below Lccney's
store was carried away. and two large
livery stables. with 20 horses, We're
lost. The Cakes Mercantile COmpany's
store, waterman's store and the -four
mill escaped being wrecked, but the
first mentioned lost 10 tons Of barbed
wire.
Little rain Tell at Mitchell but thun-
der and lightning gave the inhabitants
warning that a food or cioudburst
might be expected, SO they prepared
for it. Over half the population fed
to the high hills bordering the valley,
and others were preparing for the
water when 1t suddenly burst upon
them The two aged people who mef
death by drowning refused to accom-
pany the others to the hills. feeling
that the alarm was unnecessary.
The excitement at Heppner was even
greater than at Mitchell for the people
have hardly recovered from the nervous
strain Of last years flood. The damage
at this point Is confined to the washing
away Of bridges and weakening Of the
o. r. & N. bridge at Lexington. The
creek rose suddenly and with rush
overfiowed its banks. but there was no
great volume of water as at Mitchell

the following reasons:

"Thlrd---Mr. Roosevelt stands for the

as a man OF blood and iron. He be-
lleves In strenuousness and inculcates
love for warlike things. The demo-

THINKS SHE WILL MARRY czAR.
Divorced Wife Of Millionaire Flagler at
Home on Hudson.

New York, July 12.--Mrs. Ida Flag
Ter. once the wife Of Henry NJ. FlagIer,
the Standard OIL magnate and owner
OF a large part Of the state Of Florida,
who had a special law passed by the
Florida legislature making insanity a
ground for divorce in order that he
might be separated legally from Mrs.
Flagler and enabled to marry his
present wife, who was Miss Mary
Kenan OF Wilmington. N. c.. is back
in New York again.
In magnificent home. 1853 River
side drive. surrounded by every luxury
and with view OF the Hudson spread
out before her eyes, the unfortunate
demented woman who had been kept
hidden from the knowledge Of the pub
lie for two years was discovered to-
day. She is under the personal care Of
DR.. Carlos ,. Mcdonald. the ceIebrat-
ed alienist.
The woman. who was once known
as THE first lady in Florida spends
her days and nights with the phantom
royalties which people her brain. 1t
is well that she can be surrounded with
all the evidences OF lavish wealth. for
she believes that she is Princess Ida
Alice Van Shotten Teck, and the af-
fianced bride OF the czar Of Russia.
Although she is a white haired
woman So years old. she thinks she is
still girl and passes her long days
in waiting for the fiance that never
comes. She does not know that she
has been divorced from her husband
by law made especially for the pur-
pose. She does not know that she
ever had husband.
1t is reported that the unfortunate
woman in her distress has the active
sympathy Of Mrs. John H. Flagler. who
has been personally interested in her
care since the return to New York.
Mrs. John H. Flagler, who captured the
affections Of her husband while sing
ing in a New York church choir, is
practically the mistress of s5O.OOo,OOO
and is able to do much to alleviate
the sufferings of the woman who now

In Chicago sb local unions are In
volved in the strike. Arthur Meeker
Of Armour q Co. said tonight:
we consider the demand OF the
union for an advance In the wages OF

by the conditions. We could not con-
cede It and proposed 70 submit the
question 10 arbitration. which the union
declined TO do and called the strike to-
day At all our plants
President Donnelly the strike leader,
said:
4 wish TO make Il clear that we are
not fighting for an increase In wages,
but against decrease. Our original
demand was for minimum OF 20 cents
an hour for Iaborers. This demand was
amended after our second conference
with the packers. In June. We then
agreed 20 a scale Of 1871 cents an
hour except In Omaha and Sioux City,
where the scale is 10 cents. The pack
ers. on the other hand, refused 10 pay
more than i7is cents an hour. and de-
cllned 20 sign any agreements, except
with small portion Of the workmen.
The question Of the wages OF the skill
ID men was not discussed To the un-
skilled worlsmen the average wage was
1874 cents. but when we asked that
this be made the minimum wage. they

Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She Thinks
She Would Have Died But For
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks, of No. 40 Lin
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the
following account Of ner cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
ssFor 1--WE years off and on I was
treated in vain by different doctors for
relief from stomach trouble which
showed itself in frequent and trying
spells of vomiting. Part of the time I
was able to work and again would be
confined to bed for three or four days In
succession.
my stomach was at times so delicate
that it would not retain even plain water.
The spells would sometimes occur at in
tervals of half an hour, and would leave
me SO weak that would be compelled
to lie down between them. would
have several of them during the night
following day Of such attacks. Finally
became so weakened that had to give
up working altogether. weighed only
ninety-four pounds.
"Last January read about DIR. Will
hams' Pink Pills for Pale People in one
of the Chicago daily papers and bought
box and began to use them. After
had used half a box found that could
keep on my stomach the food I ate.
was encouraged by this and kept on
using the pills for four months. At the
end Of that time the vomiting spells had
ceased altogether and my weight went
up to 142 pounds and is still growing.
st think surely would have died if
it had not been for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for I sometimes vomited clear
blood, and for three or four days at
time could not eat bite of anything.
One doctor said had chronic inf1amma-
ton Of the stomach, and another said
my difficulty was cancer, but none of
their medicines did me any good at all.
Finally I concluded that did not have
blood enough to digest my food and
began the treatment that has cured me.
can eat anything now, and have
strength for all kinds Of work. always
keep DIR. Williams Pink Pills on hand,
and I recommend them to my friends
because I know they cured me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with the
most delicate stomachs and strengthen
the digestive organs until they do their
work perfectly. They are sold by all
druggists.
