Denver Colo, Aug. 29.-The West
ern Union sends out of Trinidad the
following. Between twenty and thir-
ty dead, the town nearly destroyed
or nearly half swept completely
away, thousands of dollars damage
to property and enormous loss of live
stock is the brief story of the flood
at Folsom, n. NJ, early yesterday.
Twenty-four hours after the disaster
the first definite news from the strick-
en- town reached here, when the ref
ugees and passengers of the strand
ed Colorado and Southern train reach
ed the city this morning. The disaster
which swept down on the little town
rivals the worst floods in the history
of this country. The residents of the
town who lived On higher ground and
beyond the reach of the torrent, saw
houses containing families crying
for help, swept away before their
eyes. Witnesses tell of seeing lights
hickering for moment in the doom
ed buildings and then hearing the
structures crash together as they
drifted into a narrow canyon and
were crushed like bits of pasteboard.
Some lights could be seen nearly a
mile down the stream before the
houses were broken up and the occu-
pants drowned.
Everywhere are seen the bodies
of drowned cattle and horses, and fur
ther down the canyon a mum ber were
found wedged among timbers or lodg-
ed in the branches of trees over
which the water swept. For a dis
tance of five hundred yards on either
side of the station only stone houses
and buildings were left standing To
Mrs. S. ]. Rookie, telephone operator,

of escape was cut off, sending the
alarm to every resident who had a
telephone.

Missouri has always wrongfully
been classed with the Solid South
and as Democratic beyond hope The
truth is that the only states in the
Union that have bigger Republican
vote than Missouri are New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and Hi
nois. But the Democrats, until recent

time. In the last off year election,
and l don't mean the time when
Roosevelt was running, the state
went Democratic by only $500, which
is an insignificant majority in to-
tai vote of nearly. ESQ., 900. Missouri
is doubtful state. A slight wave of
public opinion can carry it either
way. The general belief that Roose-
velt's popularity was what threw Mis-
souri, into the Republican column is
wrong. While RooseveIt's popularity
made many Democrats satisfied to
stay at home, Mr.. Roosevelt did not
increase the Republican vote of Mis-
souri, but four thousand, and McKin-
ley increased it $4,000 the second
time he ran.

the climax here. The federal. state
and municipal authorities have been
busily planning to receive the Fleet

cooperating with the authorities OF

a cordial reception to the visitors. The
Salvation Army will charter a steam

best brass bands, will proceed to the
heads at the mouth of the harbor to
welcome the Fleet upon its arrival

tended far into the interior of the
country. Upon receiving the invita-
ton, and which has already been ac-
eepted By Admiral Sperrys deputy,
