Rain and Wind Storm Was General
Over Lower Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich, June 6.-ReportS To-Day
from the state say that the rain and wind
storm which was general all over the lower
part of Michigan yesterday afternoon and
last nigh. was the most severe in many
years In addition to the loss of life re-
ported last night in Sanilac and Tuscola
counties, where the storm assumed cyclone
proportions, heavy property loss is reported
in all directions. Streams are flooded and
out of their banks, and in western Michl-
gan railroads are seriously delayed Thirty
washouts were reported today on the Pere
Marquette system, and the Grand Trunk
reported eleven.
At Grand Rapids the rainfall was almost
a cloudburst. On the west side districts
were flooded that were not affected by the
great flood of 1904. Water ran through
some west side streets four feet deep, mood
ing many houses.
About 500 homes were surrounded by
water. A number of manufacturing plants
were compelled to close for the day, their
first floors being two and three feet under
water. No trains arrived or departed from
the city during the early part of the day.
Washouts Caused Railway Accidents.
IONA, Mich, June 6.-Washouts caused
by last nights terrific rain have caused two
railroad accidents near here, one on the
Pere Marquette and one on the Detroit.
men were killed in the Pere Marquette
accident and four members of the train
crew were injured in the Detroit, Grand
Haven and Milwaukee accident.
A Pere Marquette train ran into wash
out near the state reformatory, and the en-
CINE was derailed and tipped over Engi-
neer w. Alvord and Fireman H. Payne of

night and the engine and one car We're de-
rallied. Engineer Johnson Mail Clerk
Evans, Baggageman Tolles and the fireman
were injured, but, 1t is said, not seriously.
Three Grand Trunk bridges are washed
out in Ottawa county, where the streams
are running over their banks. At Lowell
the dam and bridge across Grand river
We're washed out, with two buildings that
stood on the bank. At Ionia the Grand
river is many feet over its banks and
thousands of dollars damage has been done
by the high water.
The Springbrook mill, two miles above
Lowell on the Grand Trunk, was washed
out At Lansing the precipitation was 4s0
inches, and the Grand river rose seven feet,
flooding cellars in the west side of the city
and Easements in the business section. The
storm damage at Hart, in Oneana county,
is estimated at $30O

THE SUMMER BREAKFAST.
Hard to Get Good Food in the Morn.
ing.

From the New York Times.
In New York a man may lunch satisfac-
torily in any one of numberless places, ac-
cording to his standard and his means. He
may also dine to his liking through an en-
barrassing latitude of choice. But when he
goes cut to hunt for breakfast his trou-
bles begin. No doubt this is well enough
for birds, which are almost the only wild
things without nocturnal habits. If we ex-
cept nighthawks, owls, bats and a few or
astrological freaks; but civilized man Is
peculiarly a nocturnal creature, and the
machinery of city life is largely adjusted to
this fact. When he rises he wants to find
his breakfast awaiting him as he energies
from his morning toilet. He wants 1t dainty
and appetizing. OF course, he knows that
the cruder operations of housekeeping,
such as sweeping, busting, scrubbing and
the like are disagreeable necessities, but he
Is not unreasonable in asking that they be
postponed until he has established more
stable equilibrium between his nervous and
his muscular systems than that with which
he usually rises. Unless this desire is re-
spected his home life is likely to be fall
ure.
For one who has to seek breakfast I'M
der conditions which he cannot control the
task is wholly without attractions. 1t may

compartment of floor cleaning, mirror pol

The average restaurant subordfnates every
thing to whichever meal represents for 1t

If any, 1t Is breakfast. The usual expert

done to make the place attractive for a
later hour goes On. A week of this sort of
thing would make an ostrich dyspeptic.
If there be in New York restaurant
where a clean, crisp. prompt. appetizing
breakfast may be had without the accom-
paniment of the broom, the mop and the
duster-a breakfast cooked by an expert,
served by competent waiter, and not
shared by cloud of flies, the proprietor
would serve his own interests by making

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO.
PASSED OVER BINGHAMToN SEC
TON OF NEW YORK.

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, June 6.-The tor
nado which passed over this section last
night was the severest ever experienced In
the southern tier Of counties. The results
of its destructive work in this city were
four houses completely wrecked and a
hundred others badly damaged. Trees
were uprooted. roofs taken from houses
and hurled across streets and Sidewalks
were lifted bodily and carried, in some IN
stances, hundreds of feet. Windows were
blown out and glass scattered in all direc-
tions. One house exploded from the inside.
The sudden rush of the column of air
created vacuum outside the building and
the tremendous pressure from the inside
caused the walls to burst outward The
occupants Of the house were precipitated
into the yard but were practically unin-
jured So far as known no one was killed
by the storm,
The path of the whrlwind was from
60 to 100 feet wide, and it swtrled In a
winding course over the entire southern
section of the city.
The storm struck Newfed, twelve miles
southwest of Ithaca, demolishing four
barns and farmhouse. The latter was
the home of Martin Rumsey. The building
was carried hundred feet into the high
way, where it collapsed, burying Rumsey
and his wife in the debris They were
later dug out badly injured.
