AS was expected the ball OF
Fire Co. No. 2 last evening was
grand success. The crowd as
was one of the largest ever as
sembIed in the big hall and the
hours of pleasure were only too
short. 1t was one of those oc-
caslons that come only too sell
dom to tighten the lives OF the
young and when it was over and
the lights out, every one who
had been there was sorry the
incident had closed. The ladies
of the Auxiliary society had pre-

HORRIBLE ERROR.

A man in Sayre, Oklahoma,
wanted his boy to get up early one
morning and 60 to work. The boy
had the habit of answering 'yessir''
and going to sleep again. On this
last occasion. the farmer called the
boy and got the "yessir, and
slipped up stairs, turned down the
cover, and gave the boy,a as he sup
posed, a severe spanking. It hap
pened that night that the hired
gid had been given the boys room.
When the tumult was over the old
man sat down behind the barn and
drew up an humble apology and
sent it to the girl by mail.

THE FLOOD IN TEXAS
News of the Disaster Along the
Colorado River Has Been
Confirmed
DEATH LIST is GROWING
Number of Dead Likely to Exceed the
First imates-Property Damage
of Half MiIIion-Rise of the Water
So Rapid That People Had No Time
to Make Their Escape.

Fort Worth, Aug. S.-Reports of the
terrible flood in South Texas have
been confirmed. Hundreds of people
are homeless and property damage es-
timated at half million dollars has
been done. The death list is growing.
Twenty-Five are known to have been
killed. Relief trains are cut off, tel
egraph and telephone wires are down,
and the fate of the inhabitants of sew
eral isolated towns is unknown.
The rush of water came without
warning, and inhabitants at San An
gelo and Ballinger We're forced to flee
for safety in their night clothes. An
Cook, was drowned as they attempted
to leave their home on an improvised
raft, which struck an obstruction The
Colorado river is from four to six miles
wide in places, and the tributaries
south are out of the banks. Two thou
sand cattle are killed. The Santa Fe
track and bridges We're washed out
and traffic is at standstill. Persons
made homeless sought refuge in
churches. Provisions and clothes were
rushed to the scene of the disaster.
Reports from the country say the
loss of life and damage are great. One
man on horseback was lost While try
ing to warn the Inhabitants. A mother
and three children at San Angelo per-
ished in sight of a score Of men who
were unable to attempt rescue. The
mother was in the upper story of a
house in the bottoms. She was call
ing for help when the flood caused the
small house to totter and collapse.
Twelve inches of rain fell all over
southern Texas last night, causing all
rivers to overflow their banks. Relief
trains were rushed out, but were una
BILE to reach their destinations. Rescue
parties in boats are going from house
to house taking people from second
stories and carrying the dead to
morgues. Heartrending scenes were
witnessed in towns where lost children
were hunting parents. It is estimated
that 200 miles of track were washed
out. The death list increases hourly.
Telegraph offices are besieged by
crowds demanding news from the
flooded districts.
"A special from Brentwood, Tex,
says: MANY lives are reported lost
as result of food in this neigh
borhood but telegraph and telephone
wires are down and confirmation of
the report cannot be had. Five hun
dred people are homeless. Last night
the water was standing within three
feet of the high water mark of 1900. A
strip of country thirty miles long by
two to four miles wide is covered with
three to ten feet of water. Railway
tracks have been washed out for miles
and piledriver sent out with two
hundred laborers was unable to pro-
coed further than here"

TALKS FOR PIECE SYSTEM.
Best Way to Settle Labor Disputes
SAYS Manufacturer.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. S.-William j.
Fairbairn, secretary of the Metal
Trades and Founders bureau, is of the
opinion that the strike now in force
by the moulders might have been
avoided if the unions were fair and
had lived up to their constitution and
bylaws.
THE whole quarrel with us is
whether we shall let the unions run the
shops says Mr. Fairbairn. AN Of
fer was made to give the men ten
hours pay for nine hours work, but
that was not acceptable to them and
we had to continue to do the best we
could without their cooperation.
THE ideal system, of course, would
be the piece system, but that causes
dissension The labor union stint is
too small to be profitable to the man
ufacturer and the socialstic principle
of never doing today what can be left
until tomorrow seems to underlle.
Therefore, l say, the premium system
is the most fair to all concerned and
may in time be accepted as COM
promise which will be acceptable to
both employer and employe."

Johnson went UP to a great height

well, but when he attempted to open
the second, parachute and descend the
remainder of the distance with that

Johnson shot downward very rapidly

Two days after his grandfather's fu-

the old man had given him was synon-
ymous with conditions not expressed
in the will. The dead man believed
that he had drilled into the youth an
unmistakable conception of what was
expected of him in life. If he failed In
these expectations the misfortune
would be his alone to bear. A road
had been carved out for him, and be-
hind him stretched long line OF guide
posts whose laconic instructions might
be ignored, but never forgotten. Edwin
Peter Brewster evidently made his
will with the sensible conviction that
1t was necessary for him to die before
anybody else could possess his money
and that once dead it would be folly
fer him to worry over the way IN
which beneiciaries might choose to
manage their own affairs.
The house in Fifth avenue went to
sister, together with million or two,
and the residue of the estate found
kindly disposed relatives who were
willing to keep it from going to the
Home For Ffiendless Fortunes. Old
Mr.. Brewster left his affairs In order.

estate estimated at between $20,OOO.000
and 10000, 900, paid in taxes but $12,-
600 year, representing an assessment
of less than $1,00O,000 on his total hold

as surprise to the Springfield public.
1t was stated that the greater part
of Mr.. NELSON'S money was invested in

by no means represented all of Mr..
Wessons wealth. His home alone at

al League puts upon me the duty Of
assigning umpires and compels every
club to accept my assignments. l
have assigned the umpires fairly and
equitably and l point to my assign
ments to the New York club both at
home and abroad as proof of this.
