THE WORST IN YEARS.

Omaha, June 6.-The tornado which
passed over Southern Nebraska and
portions of northern Kansas( on Fri
day evening, was the most destructive
and covered the most territory of any
similar storm which has visited this
state in many years. At least 81 per-
sons are known to be dead. five fatally
injured and a score of others more or
less seriously hurt, some of them
dangerously.
Additional reports received tonight
state that several persons We're killed
at the towns Of Byron, Neb., and
CORTLAND, Kans., which towns have
been cut off from communication with
the outside world
At Clearfield thirty or more build
ings were wrecked, and some of them,
including three churches, were de-
molished. The loss there will exceed
100000. In the vicinity of Hickey,
farm houses stood the brunt of the
storm and one or more fatalities are
reported with a number receiv-
ing injuries, some of which will prove
fatal. Some damage was reported
from Byron, ten miles west of Ches-
ter. attended by considerable fatality,
but no deaths could be learned. All
bridges are out and communication
by telegraph and telephone is en-
tirely cut off. A telephone from
Hardy says the town of CORTLAND,
Kan, just across the Nebraska line,
was struck by the storm and that
several casualties occurred but lack
of communication makes confirmation
impossible tonight Trains in all di-
rections are abandoned because wash
outs have destroyed the roadbeds.
At Geneva, the storm wrought
great destruction. The storm covered
such a wide area and has been so
destructive wherever it touched the
earth that It almost caused a panic
among the rural inhabitants. Hun
dreds of farmers drove to town last
night and today they are seeking
shelter, many of them being home
less. Following the tornado a hard
rain which lasted well into the night
soaked the storms stricken sufferers,
making their lot doubly hard.

The Butte, Anaconda and Pacific
railroad is out of business until Mon
day at least, and until the line is re-
paired the mines of Red Metals,
North Butte and the Amalgamated
companies will have to remain shut
down. At Butte the reduction works
of the Clark mines resumed work to-
day, electric cars resumed and the
city is again lighted. The wire SER
vice out of the city is gradually be-
ing restored, though it is still in a
sorry plight.
Three lives are reported lost in the
valley below Helena, but definite in
formation on the subject is hard to
obtain.

THE BLESSED SUN AT LAST.

Missoula, Mont, June 6-Tonight at
6 the sun broke through the clouds
after thirty three hours of rain, and
the rainfall which has been lessening
since morning ceased. The rivers to-
night show lower mark than they did
twenty-four hours ago and there is
hope that the worst is over. But there
has been great damage throughout. 1t
will be days, perhaps weeks before
railroad traffic is resumed eastward.
All day Missoula was cut off from
the outside world and not until to-
night has there been a wire and at 10
o'clock there was a single line to west
and none to the east. Last night and
this morning the high water reached
the maximum, registering the highest
mark ever known.
All the city and county bridges are
out and Missoula is divided into three
districts, each which is without COM
munication with the outside. Three
large residences in the city went down
the river this morning. Their occu-
pants had been warned and were out
before the flood struck. The log jam
of the Blackfoot company has been
held in place and the great power
dam, owned by w. A. Clark, is intact.
The Northern Pacific has but one line
in operation in this district, a branch
to Occur D'Alene and that is operated
only by one transfer passenger train.

THE FLOOD
IN MONTANA
The Worst in the History
of the State
In Places Though 1t Shows
Signs of Abatement.

Butte, Mont, June 6.-The railroad
situation in Montana is much i'm
proved today. The rain has stopped
and the Northern Pacific is sending
trains east from Butte tonight, al
though the line east of Bezeman was
again tied up today by another wash
out. The farmers of Gallatin valley
estimate that about two thirds of the
crops will be destroyed.
Superintendent Goodall of the North
ern Pacific says he has no idea as
to when that line will be opened.
Big gangs Of men are at work but
task is a tremendous one. Condi-
lions are better on the eastern than
on the western end. The track, it is
feared, has been washed out for miles
through Hell Gate canyon. No. l
with four coaches is being held there
until the tracks are cleared. Wolf
creek on the Great Northern is re
ported under water.
At Craig the people are using boats
on the streets and have been driven
out of all one story houses. The
tracks are also under water and
when telephone communication was
interrupted yesterday, the report stat
ed that it was believed the tracks
would soon go. Two culverts went
out near Silver Bow between Helena
and Great Falls but a number of
Northern Pacific westbound trains
got on the other side before the break
came. These are now at Great Falls.
A small dam up Lump Gulch went
out and a flood which poured into
the Big Prickly Pear, covered the
East Helena smelters to the depth
of three feet. Manager Smith said
it would be two weeks before the
company would again be operating.
The dam at Stanchfield Lake went
out at o'clock this morning and
flooded acres of farms in the val
ley.
South of Silver Bow the tracks of
the Oregon Short Line are in good
condition and the Northern Pacific
tonight will probably dispatch trains
for the coast over that line, trans
ferring to the tracks of the Oregon
Navigation company at Pocatello.
Eastbound Northern Pacific trains
are expected to come from Spokane
by the same route. The Great North
ern system is again in practically a
complete state of decentralization, SO
bad that not even the transfer of
passengers is being attempted. In
addition to the tracks being under
water in the Prickly Pear Canyon,
and washouts and being covered with
landslides between Butte and Helena,
the wires of the company are pros
trated between here and Helena and
northern points.

TWENTY WERE LOST
IN ATTEMPTED RESCUE
A Horror Reported From the Gold
King Mine Near SiIverton, Col.

Silverton, Col, June 6.-Twenty-
three men are missing and may be
dead in the Gold King mine at Glad
stone, as a result of a fire which des-
troyed the mine and buildings last
night. 1t was discovered today that
three men were missing and a party of
thirty-fOur went to the mine to find
them. The missing men are supposed
to be on the fifth level and when the
rescue party reached the fourth level,
they met with bad air and gas. Four
teen managed to reach the surface
again but twenty were overcome.
Two special trains with 300 men ac-
companied by doctors and nurses were
sent to the mine tonight from Silver
ton and late tonight a second rescue
party entered the mine.

A SONG Of the LIGHT.

Even when Trouble comes to stay
World like thunder shakin',
Darkness ever dreams of day;
See. the light is breakin'!
See it shinin from the hills,
See it dancin' on the rills,
All the world with joy it fills;
See! the light is breakin'i
Though the night seems with us long
Solid comfort takin',
Still we have LIES mornin' song,
An the light is breakin',
Farewell. then. to sighin' night
Welcome to the love an light
Heaven itself is well in sight
Seel the light is breakin!

Thinning fruit gives larger and bet

The surplus suckers in the berry

Improved methods Of cultivation
will do wonders, sometimes almost

more than pays.

They may save you vexatious delay
