HEAVY RAINS IN WYOMING.
Rivers Running Bank Full and Much
Damage Expected.

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 4.-The worst
rain storms within the recollection of
the oldest residents have visited
southeast Wyoming, northeast Colo
RADIO and western Nebraska during the
last ten days. The country is thor
oughly soaked, all streams are run
ming bank full and in many places
have overlowed the banks and mum
dated the meadows, railroads and
wagon roads, while a number of
bridges have been washed away. The
North Platte river has been rising
rapidly during the past tw%enty-four
hours, and fears are entertained that
the flood will carry away bridges and
portions of the track of the Colorado
and Southern in the North Platte
canon, and also in the vicinity of IVA,
where the Little Laramie river joins
the Platte.
Large gangs Of men are repairing
the roadbed of the Colorado and South
ern damaged by Sundays food, and
train service has been established as
far north as Chugwater. No effort
will be made to transfer passengers,
mail and express. however, until the
roadbed is repaired between Chugwa-
ter and Wheatland. Just south OF
Wheatland, Jessup's cut is filled with
mud, and it will take several days to
clear the track at that point.

Railroad REPORTS Exposed.


Galveston, Tex, June 4.-The rail,
road commission yesterday exposed
the reports of the Texas railroads and
showed the decrease in the gross earn
ings for the past nine months to have
been s4,0o0,000 instead of IS, 600. 900 as
claimed by the roads.
Fictitious Decreases.
The commission declares that over
so per cent of the decrease is ficti-
tious, due to a new system of book
keeping of certain railroad accounts
as ordained by the interstate com
merce commission.
Some Comparisons.
A comparison is made with the
earnings Of 1907, which the Texas
commission shows was an unprece-
dented year for the Texas roads, in
which they had more traffic than they
could handle.
Increases Shown.
The earnings for the past nine
months, as compared with the same
period in 1904, show an increase of
$4,000, 900, it is claimed.

Horses In Good Shape.
e w Burke was present at the
stable when the first four horses were
registered out this morning, and he
did not hesitate to say that they
in excellent condition, one Of them
suffering much from the trip and none
not fit to continue the journey. Asked
as to the truthfulness of the report to
the Denver Times that a hospital car
is being used to care for the played-out
horses, he said he believed there was
nothing in this story. Some of the
horses were withdrawn from the race,
for the reason that their owners, who
were also their riders, would rather
leave the C than cause damage to
the horses, and these were sent for
ward by rail, exactly as any other
horse would go forward. One Of the
horses stepped into a badger hole and
suffered some injury to its ankle, and
it was sent by rail for the remainder
of the distance. The reported hospital
car was ~discredited also by other mem
bers of the party. VINO saw the horses
loaded as a man would board the train
himself.

Walter Juan Davis, c. q. Van Loan

cousin of Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, for

now a resident of Fayette, Mo-, the ma

STRETCH YOURSELF.
Do II the First Thing After You Wake
In the Morning.

A splendid thing for the body is
stretching. When you first wake
up in the morning, take a good. long
stretch. Stretch the hands as far
out sideways as possible. Then
stretch them over the head as far as
you can reach, and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far as
you can. Raise the feet and stretch
upward just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly.
When you get out of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and,
standing on tiptoe, see how near you
can reach the ceiling. Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exer-
else can be reversed.
If you have been sitting in the
same position for long time read
ing, studying, writing or sewing and
the muscles have become tired and
cramped, the best thing to do is to
get up end stretch. Stretch the
arms upward and outward and for
ward and backward. Lift the shout
ders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply, or, sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor and stretch
them forward as far as possible,
any way so you give the muscles a
good, vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired, there is
nothing more restful than stretch
ing the muscles and then relaxing.
Exchange.

Illuminating Gas,

In the Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society of London for
1879 is printed a letter, written in
1851, in which the Rev. John Clay
tor details series of experiments
he made in distilling coal in a re-
tort, showing not only that he had
observed the infammable gases
evolved, but that he had collected
and stored them for some time in
bladders. In 1787 Lord Dundonald
made gas from coal, with which he
lighted the hall of Culross abbey.
In 1922 Robert Murdoch began the
experiments which resulted in the
establishment of coal gas as an illu-
minating agent. In 1897 he public
ly showed the system he had ma
tured, and in 1898, being employed
in the factory of Boulton & Watt,
Birmingham, he fitted up an appa-
ratus for the manufacture of gas
in that establishment, with which
it was lighted. This was the first
use of Illuminating gas except by
way of experiment.

Eating an Orange.

Fine oranges grow in Florida, and
some Of them are eaten at the table.
The Florida style is to sever the
orange at the equator and serve the
north and south hemispheres on a
plate with spoon. All the signs
of the zodiac are in the divisions
of the orange. Chisel them out
with the spoon and eat them. Leave
the partitions. 1t is bad form to
suck an orange. To peel it and eat
it in sections is too much trouble
