THREE KNOWN TO Be DEAD
Cloudburst Causes Great Dam
age in Black Hills.

Deadwood, S. D., June 17.-The
Black Hills has been entirely cut of
from communication with the outside
world since the evening Of the 18th.
A rain and hail storm, lasting si1
hours, washed out railroad bridges and
tracks and destroyed telegraph wires
Three people are known to have lost
their lives. Mrs. Anderson of Pied
mont was alone with her two children
in her home when a cloudburst swept
down the canyon. The torrent cut q
channel twenty feet wide and ten feet
deep, sweeping away all buildings in
it's course with no warning in time to
escape Mrs. Anderson and two chill
dren were drowned.
Reports of loss and destruction con.
tinue to come in from surrounding
towns and mining camps, but until
communication is again established it
is impossible to know the loss Of life
or property
From twenty to thirty railroad
bridges are down and the roadbeds
washed out in many places.

ENTIRE TRAIN DESTROYED
No Loss OF Life in Wreck on
the Great Northern.

Minot, N. D., June 1.-THE wreck
Of the Oriental limited on the Great
Northern road at Palermo, forty miles
west Of here, did not result in any
loss Of life, as at first reported.
Twenty persons were injured, how
ever, three seriously, and the entire
train was destroyed by fire.
The train, which was reported in
Minot on time, reached Palermo about
$50. It was not scheduled to stop
between Williston and Minot and was
going at high speed as it passed
through Palermo. When the train
reached a short distance east of Pa
lermo rail spread and the engine and
every car plunged into the ditch. No
sooner had the cars reached the ditch
than they caught fire through the ex-
plosion OF the acetylene gas and all
were destroyed.
Word reached Minot soon after the
wreck and Dr. L. H. Kermott, with
assistants and wrecking train crew,
left for the scene. The injured were
brought to this city

FOR ALL RAILROADS.
Uniform System of Accounts After
July 1.

Washington, June 1.-THE inter.
state commerce commission, has pro-
mulgated a uniform system Of ac-
counts for railroads, provided for I'M
der the railroad rate law passed at the
last session of congress. The system
will go into effect July 1 covering op-
Grating revenues and operating ex-
penses and thereafter railroads will be
compelled to file monthly reports. The
method adopted is intended to insure
a correct statement of net revenues
from operations and is expected to re-
suit in keeping the cost of improve
ments ont Of operating expenses and
therefore exclude them from the count
of performing business. The expense
Of soliciting traffic is separated from
the expense of hauling traffic The
construction accounts are to be so
drawn that a record of the physical
value Of railway property is always
accessible.

Surprised the Ghost.

A ghost, a vague white form which
fitted about small neglected grave
yard in Galway, much to the alarm Of
those who lived near by, one Of the
gentlemen of our party undertook to
lay. Going out not far from midnight,
he did indeed soon become aware of a
white figure looming toward him
through the darkness. Our friend,
however, held on his way undeterred.

when he came near, could you drink a
glass of whisky?'

ATTACKS NEW RATE LAW.
Pullman Company Declares 1t Is I'm
constitutional.

constitutional.
Washington, June 17.-An important
answer questioning the constitutional
ity of a part of the railroad rate law
has been filed by the Pullman com
pany to a complaint recently filed with
the interstate commerce commission
by George s. Lotus of St. Paul, in
rates. The complaint alleged that the
Pullman company exacted excessive
and unreasonable charges for its sleep
ing car accommodations and urged
the commission to compel the COM
pany, under the recently enacted rail-
road rate law, to reduce the rates.
The company's answer insists that
the charges are entirely just and
proper 1t denies the authority of the
Interstate commerce commission to
Issue the order demanded. In making
this defense the Pullman company at
tacks the constitutionality of part Of
the railroad rate law It maintains
that the law defines a common carrier
and makes it clear that express COM
paries and sleeping car companies are
not common carriers under the law.
It was expected by the commission
Dat the Pullman company would
make just such an answer and it is
we'll understood that the company ex-
poets, in the event of adverse de-
cision, to appeal the case to the higher
courts

Limit of Human Strength.

Experiments upon number Of men
have shown that a man five feet high
and weighing 1875 pounds will lift, on
an average, 1856 pounds through a YER
teal distance of eight inches, or PIT
pounds through height Of 1.2 inches.
Others 6.1 feet high and weighing 1888
pounds could lift the 1856 pounds to a
height Of thirteen inches, or PIT pounds
to a height of six inches. Other men
six feet three inches high and weighing
1873 pounds could lift 1856 pounds to a
height of sixteen inches, or PIT pounds
to height of nine inches. By great
variety Of experiments it was shown
that the average human strength is
equivalent to raising thirty pounds
through a distance of two and one-half
feet in one second.

A MYSTERIOUS Booming.

A strange phenomenon is that Of the
so called gums Of Burrisaul," In In
dia. Burrisaul is a station in the Sun
derbunds, the marshy delta of the
Ganges, a region covered with a vast
and luxuriant jungle of tropic vegeta-
ton. Here in the rainy season there
is occasionally heard loud, booming
noise like the discharge of distant ar
tillery. 1t seems to come from the
south, but if one follows the sound In
that direction it's apparent distance
does not diminish. Travellers have
suggested that it may be produced by
the heavy surf Of the monsoon season
laundering on the shores Of the bay OF
Bengal or on an island, but the place
of it's origin has never been identified.
nor has it been explained why the
roar Of the waves should be heard 50
much farther inland here than on
other coasts.

When HGirI" was "Gell"

Concerning the pronunciation of
"girl" it is to be feared that only very
careful English people fail to rhyme it
with "pearr' nowadays. The song of
some years back-"My dear little grille
grille, with hair so nice and curly, and
every morning early"-shows the GUS
tom of the great public in our time,
though in the Wilkins and his Dinah''
period girl" was rhymed with 'dwell."
"Gell" was no doubt the nearest the
average man could get to the sound
imperfectly represented by "gairp' and
at any rate was better than the vulgar
"gal." But in these days few authors
would go to the trouble Of writing
"gurl" to show that character was
peculiar in thus pronouncing the word
as Thackeray did in the case of Mrs.
Bungay. So says London correspond

men were aboard when the boat went
down. The launch looks to be badly
wrecked, her hull and part Of the
framework which hold the canopy be-
ing stove in, The canvas canopy is
so badly torn that it is impossible to
tell whether the flaps were fastened
down at the time of the collision
There is no longer any doubt that
the launch was run into and sunk by
some other vessel, the condition of
the boat completely sileneing all those
who have said that the launch foun-
dered during the storm.

Easy Rhyr1ing.

William Makepeace Thackeray in his
lines peg Of Limavady" acknowledges
himself a cockney. 1t was hardly nee
essary for him to do this, as not only
in that poem, but in others, he makes
the syllable "ing" rhyme with sylla-
bles like 'in'' and ''en," failing to sound
the concluding "g." Richard Harris

facile rhymer, has done the same thing
over and over again, thus tightening

PURELY EUROPEAN QUESTION

- itation of Armaments,

itation of Armaments,
Washington, June lit can be
stated on authority that the American
delegates to The Hague conference
will not bring up for discussion the
Question of limitation Of ornaments.
That matter is regarded as a purely
European question at present and as
the result of years work by Profess
sor de Martens at the various capitals
Of Europe has been to thresh out
pretty thoroughly the whole matter
and make evident the fact that at
least four of the great powers are
averse to the consideration of the dis
armament question the Washington
government regards itself as relieved
from the necessity of bringing this
matter to the attention Of the foreign
countries. 1t is the opinion here that
the subject of limitation Of arma-
merts will not. now be preached by
any of the powers represented at The

DRAFTS IN EVIDENCE
State Shows Haywood Sent Funds
to Jack Simpkins.
PEABODY BOMB IDENTIFIED
Former Governor of Colorado and His
Daughter Tell of Seeing Orchard in
Canon City, Thus corroborating the
Latter's Testimony.


Latter's Testimony.
Boise, Ida, June 1.-THE prosecu-
ton in the Steunenberg murder case
won it's fight for the admission of the
contents of the telegram Steve Adj
ans sent from Ogden to the defend
ant, Haywood, at Denver, in June,
1908, and Detective Fender of Ogden
was permitted to testify to the con-
tents. The message was an appeal
from Adams to Haywood for money.
The state then produced and Sc
cured the admission of six drafts sent
by Haywood to Jack Simpkins at
various times in 1904, 1905 and 1906.
One was sent just before and one
the purpose for which they were in
troduced was to show the relations of
Haywood and Simpkins, who aided
Harry Orchard in the first attempt to
kill Steunenberg.
The state next produced the frag-
ments of the pistol and device by
which the Internal machine placed in
the Vindicator mine was set off and
this led to a general depression into
the whole story Of the Cripple Creek
strike of 1904, in which the defense
sought to show violence and incite-
ment to violence by agents and Off
GERS of the Mine Owners association
and high handed injustice by the mill
tia after martial law was declared.
Peabody Bomb Identified.
Then the evidence went back to the
Peabody bomb to prove its recovery
from the Occur d'Alene river. Former
Governor Peabody, Mrs. Peabody and
Miss Peabody, who had seats within
the rail, intently watched the produc-
ton of the bomb casing which so long
held tragedy for them.
Charles T. Roach, a plumber, testi-
fed that he made the casing of what
is known as the peabody bomb" 1t
was made to order. He identified the
bomb casing, examining it carefully.
He said he did not think he could
identify the person who ordered it.
He did not know Orchard.
Miss Cora May Peabody, daughter
of former Governor Peabody, testified
to seeing two men near her carriage
during her fathers term of office. Her
mother and sister were with her.
Orchard testified that one night he
waited to shoot the governor, but
ladies got out of the carriage.
E. F. Richardson cross-examined
Miss Peabody closely. She was ex-
tremely nervous, but answered every
question without contradiction. Rich
ardson's questions directed to an ef-
fort to show that the witness was en-
deavoring to bolster up Orchards tes-
timony.
Former Governor Peabody was the
last witness. He saw Orchard in
Canon City at the time Orchard said
that he went there for the purpose of
killing the oOVernOr
