INUNDATION
 OF MONTANA
The Flood Situation Grows
 Worse all inc Time
Tue Damage to the Great
 Northern Alone is S1,OOO,OOO.

MissOula, Mont, June 5.-Tonight the flood situation in western Mon tana is growing more serious each minute. Helena is cut off from the outside world. It is without rail- way, telegraph or telephone connec- ton. For a short time this afternoon there was a telephone connection, and at that time it was learned that all streams in the vicinity were over flowing and that there had been much damage to farms and a consid- erable loss of livestock The Great Northern's branch lines are out of service and the mail line of northern Montana is cut in several places.
 The Northern Pacific's trains start ed eastward out of Spokane over the Great Northern tracks but are tied up again. There is no communica- tion east of Alissoula by rail or telegraph All streams continue to rise. The Big BlackfOot river is nearing the highest flood mark. The Northern Pacific lost several miles of track east of here during the day. At Bonita, Nimrod and Bearmouth the telegraph operators were com pelled to leave their posts, driven out by the rising waters. At Garrison, nearly all the residents fled from their homes and camped on the hills in the rain. None of the dams of the river have given way though the power dam, owned by Senator Clark, above Missoula, is reported to be in a critical condition.
 This afternoon the Northern Pa cific released by wagon transfer 2S0 passengers who had been marOoned east of here. They will be sent to Spokane on a made up train. Among the passengers who have been water bound and who came in this after noon, was Emma Goldman, the an- archist lecturer. She is now in Mis- soula- An attempt was made to have her address the passengers at Drum- mond. but the passengers would not permit it.
 Ben Reitman. Miss Goldman's man ager had a narrow escape from rough treatment during one of the early days delay. He was smoking in the obseryation ear Of the magooned train when some ladies asked him to stop. He refused in a manner that was offensive A man who noticed the incident scored Reitman roundly and threatened to thrash him. Reit- man made a warm retort. Members of the Tacoma baseball team in the party would have thrown him into the river if they had not been pre- vented.
 The damage to the new road bed of the St. Paul line between Missoula and Butte will not fall short of a million and becoming greater all the time.

 Belmont was found to have appen- dicitis three days ago. After a sur gical operation yesterday he failed so rapidly that it was feared he would not survive the night Today his condition was slightly improved. As he became neither better nor verse during the day his physicians did not give up hope of his recov- cry.

Former Vice President Adlai
E. Stevenson, Democratic candi-

an address at the Iroquois Club
in Chicago the other day, speak
ing of the Democratic outlook in
the national campaign this year,
said that it looks like a return Of
the Democratic spirit of 1892,
when Cleveland was elected.
Everywhere l have spoken, "he
said, Il have found Democrats
formerly antagonistic to Mr..
Bryan with him now, and they
tell me they wish to support me
also. 1t is astonishing the as
surances of support I have re-
ceived from Republicans who de-
clare that they believe the time
has come for a change. 1t we
put our shoulders to the wheel
we can bring about a great Dem
ocratic victory in November"

TELEGRAPH
OPERATORS NEEDED
Young Men Prepare Your
selves for Good
Positions.

On account of the new 8-hour law
passed by congress in the interest of
telegraphers,, and also on account of so
many new railroads being built and old
lines extended, an unusual demand for
operators has been created. Conserva-
tive estimates have placed the number
of additional Operators that will be re-
quired during the next ten months at
approximately 10000.
Young Men Now Is Your OpDor-
tunlty! Enroll in our School Now
and in only four to six months we will
have you qualified for splendid posi-
tons. Telegraph Operators receive
from $50. 90 upwards. Our school has
been established twenty years; its
equipment is perfect; instruction thor
ough and practical, positions positively
guaranteed our graduates. Board in
Newman is very cheap; the town is

any steps to make him pay that
money. Do these things bear
out your statement that your
board has the best interests OF
the county at heart? Mr.. Nc
Eachern, Mr.. C. A. Oliver and j.
W. Carter all swore before the
board of audit and finance that
they thought ex-Sheriff Mcleod
was withholding money from
the county when it was borrow
ing money and paying interest.
Mr.. McEachern's reference
to the "B" and &C" taxes is
misleading. The merchants pur-
chase tax has nothing whatever
to do with it. We do not know
whether Mr.. McEachern is liable
to this tax or not, but we do know
that Mr.. ]. W. Carter is, and If
he paid it last year eX-Sherltt
Mcleod made no report of it.
And Mr.. McEachern does not at
tempt to explain why there is so
great a difference between the
amount of these taxes collected
by Sheriff Mcneil and ex-Sheriff
Mcleod.
And Mr.. McEachern does not
attempt at all to explain, either,
why the commissioners allowed
ex-Sherif Mcleod $1.2 on every
sale of land for taxes while they
now pull the law on Sheriff Nc
Neil and allow him only seventy
cents. =.
The fact that the commission
ers ordered Treasurer Mckenzie
not to pay the Southern Audi
. Co. for it's work, before line o.
testimony had been taken by thu
board of audit and finance. show
that the commissioners antagon
lied that board and their attitude
t toward that board all the wa,
5 through has shown the sam
thing. But this is too long a

ground his reply has to stan
