AUGUSTA, Ga, IN FLOOD GRIP
CITY COMPLETELY INUNDATED
BY THE WATERS.
All Telegraphic and Railroad commu.
nication Is Cut off-conditions
Very Serious.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 27.-Reports from
Augusta late Wednesday night were
that the city was entirely flooded.
Broad street, the principal business
thoroughfare, was four feet under
water. merchants and occupants of
all residences are making desperate
efforts to remove goods to upper
floors. Telephone and telegraph COM
munication was interrupted at this
hour.
All telegraphic and telephone
communication with Augusta, Ga.
failed late Wednesday afternoon.
While wires may be standing the flood
made 1t necessary to abandon the
telegraph Offices. The loss to mer-
chants and residents cannot be esti-
mated at this hour. The Southern
railroad has been unable to move any
trains over its regular lines All traf-
f1c was detoured by way of Nashville
Wednesday. Trains are from "a to SO
hours late. The Seaboard Air Line
reports several serious washouts in
the vicinity of Athens, Ga. Other
railroads make similar reports. Angus
ia, Ca, appears to be in the
throes OF serious flood. The
lower part Of the city is under water
and the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies have abandoned
their Offices. Telephone communica-
ton with Augusta had not been re-
sumed up to late hour.
Late Wednesday afternoon the
Georgia railway which runs direct
to Augusta, reported that communica-
ton had ceased and their last informa-
ton was that no trains had been
able to get nearer than a mile. The
offices Of the Georgia road have been
closed on account of the flooded con-
ditions. The last information was that
the water stood several feet in the
streets and apparently was not re.
ceding.
The canal dams have broken, which
adds to the seriousness of the situa.
ton.

office and in spectacular raid carried
off everything of value the place con-
tanned. Forcing open the safe they
found plumber worth $4,000 in postage
stamps and cash. They sawed their
way into the office through stair

Dynamite had been used. but the locks
had been turned as neatly as II the
burglars knew the combination.
A fresh supply of stamps had just
been received by the postmaster and
the police are working on the theory
that the daring robbery was COM
mitted by some one who had knowl-
edge of this fact.
The stairway through which the
burglars made their spectacular en-
try leads from the street to offices on
the second floor of the postoffice build

the postoffice and forms part of the

No night watchman Is employed in
Waukegan and. so far as the police
have learned. the dynamiters came
and went without attracting the at
tention of anyone.
A widespread man hunt was begun
at once following the discovery Of the
robbery. The Chicago police and the
marshals Of all the north shore towns
were notified. Postmaster Watrous
prepared to make out list including
as nearly as possible the amount and
denominations of the stolen stamps.
and this was used in an effort to trace
the robbers.
Owing to the number of foreigners
at work in the vicinity the Waukegan
postoff1ce does a comparatively large
money-transfer business and is &C.
customed to keep considerable bal.
ance on hand. The receipts from all
sources average $4,000 a year.

The robber has not been apprehended,

for his escape were: good, as the point
at which the hold.up occurred is near

Sixteen stage coaches travelling in a

The smoothness with which the out

be a master hand at the business,
and the GOODNESS and determination
with which he executed his plans left
nothing for the sight-seers to do but
stand and deliver. The scene Of the
hold-up was peculiarly well chosen,
both for natural advantage and cover
during the robbery, and for the es-
cape which was SO successful after the
last plundered coach had been sent on
it's way. From Old Faithful Inn to
Lake Yellowstone is 10 miles through
the widest and most deserted part Of

Theodore A. Bell said, addressing

you will be able to show that
Taft is attempting to reach the White

is likely to leave him on November
just whore he started on June IS.
After reading Taft's letter of accept

his candidacy is like one of those new
tangled signs that we see so often
upon the streets-when you are ap-
preaching it reads one thing, and
when you are leaving it spells some.
thing else. And also in this connec-
ton you will be able to show that in
places where Roosevelt is supposed
to enjoy great popularity it is sung
into the ears of his admirers that If
Taft Is elected the spirit Of the de-
parted Roosevelt will be found
crouchipg behind the throne and d.

corporations; and that in sections
where Roosevelt has incurred the
grave censure by reason of his siren

Kern Denies the People Rule.
Mr.. Kern in his speech of accept

ton: shall the People Rule?" He
deprecated what he claimed is exces-
sive power in the hands Of the speak
or Of the house of representatives and
denied that the people have ruled be-
cause he said their will had not been
given effect. He cited the demand for
a reduction in the tariff on white pa
per and wood pulp and the failure Of
the Babcock tariff bill Of 1902. Mr.
Kern charged that there is q power
within the Republican party deter
mined that the people shall not rule;
which power has manifested itself
whenever effort has been made to
check the destructive work of unlaw-
full combination, reduce the tariff or
equaiize burdens by legislation. The
