High waters prevail In nearly all
parts Of the lower southwest fields,
and in some localities the loss of
property Is threatened. Along the
river. front in West Virginia and north.
eastern Ohio the lowlands are sub
merged. The telegraph service was
the worst interfered with, and In con.

the lower southwest are. running bank
full, and II they should continue to
rise will cause heavy property loss.
Operators returning from the Hin.
OILS field say that operations have
been almost suspended. The feayy
rains have put the roads In an I'm.
passable condition, and It is utterly
useless to try to get material to the.
field. The little work now doing was
started before the bottom had fallen
out OF the roads. A few operators

the more anxious to get busy at the
earliest possible moment next spring,
and when once under full Roadway 1t
is expected that the activity win for
some months surpass that OF any fields

production OF the field has been much
improved, and 1t is expected that by
the time operators get ready to push

storing and transporting the oil will
be equal to the increased production.

Up to the present time Crawford

that It will prove more productive

in its favor is the quality Of the oil.

SMALL TORNADO At WATERLOO
Large Number Of Tents and Homes at
Chautauqua Park Destroyed.

Special to Republican.
Waterloo, July "a large number OF
campers at ChautauQua park were LETT
exposed to the fierce wind and rain
here late Sunday night. The miniature
cyclone blew down many tents. at least
, twenty-five beautiful shade trees, and
c. E. Frederick's cottage was picked
, from it's foundation and set down on
the ground several feet away. Out of
a group Of fifteen tents to the south
of the coliseum seven were blown
down at the time. all the occupants
having narrow escapes. Most of them
were large and some were divided into
five compartments.
One of the most fortunate escapes Of
the storm was that of the Hukill fam7
lily. Mrs Hukill had just reached the
lamp and was about to extinguish 1t.
when the wind struck the tent and
knocked it down. In the fall one OF
the heavy poles struck her in the back
of the neck She dropped the lamp
and it rolled down the front OF her
! dress Luckily the wind blew out the
light and averted an explosion in that
manner.
The party of people at PARROTS
shack during the storm escaped with
out injury and fate seemed kind to
them in many ways. The shack, which
is mile above Sans Souci, was not
affected in the least, but trees were up
rooted and heavy boat was picked
from the water and set inside of a
fragile one by the force Of the wind.
A boat landing 5x5 feet, which was
fastened to a tree and staked in the
ground. was torn away and the tree to
which It was attached blown down.
