Sioux Falls. S. D., Aug. 19.-No one
will be envious of force Of carpen-
tiers at Davis, who are to be called
upon to dislodge huge swarm of bees
which have virtually taken possession
of the fine farm residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris McGinn, near Davis. There
are said to be millions of bees in the
swarm. They have taken possession
Of large space under the roof of a
veranda and, in order to dislodge
them, 1t will be necessary to remove
the entire porch and portion Of the
house. 1t is estimated that the bees
have stored in their confiscated home
several hundred pounds of honey, and
it is thought the sale of this will near
ly pay the expense Of tearing down
the veranda and part of the house.
Upon the carpenters engaged to do
the work will fall the duty Of fighting
off the millions of angry bees when
they are routed from their unique
abiding place.

Melilla, Aug ia representative
of the Associated Press has visited the
Spanish post, Ell Hach, overlooking
the plains around Nador, which have
been the scene of some of the most
severe fighting in the war between the
Moors and the Spaniards. Life in the
garrison at Ell Hach is very trying.
The Riffians, after having made re,
peated Intellectual attempts to capture
the post, now content themselves with
wiping the Spaniards from the hills.
They spend the nights in revelry and
feasting, returning at daybreak to po-
sitions on Mount Gurugua, from which
the sharpshooters harass the Spanish
garrison, their firing being accompa-
MED by insults and taunts.
An officer told the correspondent
before the warfare that never had
there been such a plentiful exchange
of olprobrious epithets between com.
batants.
Water Is scarce in the fort and all
provisions must be brought from Me-
lila, about ten miles distant, at the
risk of drawing the fire of the sharp
shooters.
The Riffians, however no longer at
tack the advanced posts of the Span
iards. There is reason to believe that
they are discouraged and that vigor-
Gus offense movement at this juncture
might end the campaign.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-The novel,
The Strength to Yield" written by
Miss Virginia Bogue, is likely to create
a storm in literary circles in the next
few months. Miss Bogue has written
a startling novel-more startling pos

too close range the burning love
scenes and passionate kisses. The in
fatuation Of Doris Van Lennep, a
young American wife, for Paoli Cen

the story. A Mediterranean atmos-

Denver, Aug. 19.-Another cloud.
burst at four-Mile creek, near Canon
City, increased the disastrous food
in the Arkansas river valley which
threatened adjoining towns, washed
out railroad tracks and tied up many
trains containing eastern tourists.
The cloudburst was exceptionally
heavy and soon the river, swollen by
mountain torrents, had risen eight
feet, six inches. Denver and Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland trains
were blocked at many places and
scores of tourists were reported de-
layed at Pueblo, Salida, Grand juno
ton and other points.
The picturesque Royal Gorge where
the Arkansas river rushes through a
canyon 1000 feet deep was a scene
Of wild fury.
The water had reached the level of
the famous Hanging bridge" al
though the bridge was said to be in
tact. At Pueblo the water was splash
ing over the levee at the state asylum
grounds and within six inches or more
of the grounds of the asylum, as well
as large portion Of the residence
section near would be under water.
Denver and Rio Grande officials
here stated that forty-hve miles of
their track between here and Salida
was washed out and that it would be
at least a week before traffic can be
resumed.
A few Denver and Rio Grande trains
are being detoured by way of Alamosa,
over both standard and narrow guage
roads.
