PITTSBuRG, July 25.-Death and
desolation was spread broadcast over
the southwest counties yesterday and
last night through clOudbursts and
overflowing streams. Three score or
more of lives are the toll, while dam
age to homes and industries cannot
be estimated.
Fifteen lives were snhffed out in the
Superba mine No. near Uniontown,
and Is miners narrowly escaped death
while from many other sections came
the reports of lives lost by mountain
torrents rushing into the mine slopes.
Hundreds of families are DESERVING
their homes in a mad rush for safety
on the mountain sides and sought
shelter beneath improvised shacks
and tents, toward the construction OF
which every available piece OF debris
was turned to account. At day break
shiyering women and children gazed
over the scene of desolation in the
upper Youghiogheny valley, and as
the waters receded upturned dwell
ings, shattered buildings and crumpl-
ed piles or mortar held in q conglom-
crate by railroad bridge or trestle, or
the progress of debris had been i'm
peded by some larger and stauncher
building.
1t was long after midnight before
the waters began to recede. Rain
had ceased to fall some hours earlier
but the heavy precipitation soon made
the usually dry beds of the mountain
streams veritable cataracts this morn
| ing, and as the waters clear away a
stricken community gazes ghast at
the power Of the elements. Heavy
rocks had been split, heavy railroai
| iron had been lifted from almost solid
beds and dropped into rivers, while
on all sides deep scars mark the sur
lace of the earth where the waters
| have made new courses for them
selves. Durham near COnnesvlle, was
inundated. Waters raced through the
main streets upsetting structures and
endangering lives of hundreds OF per-
sons. A cloudburst was the cause,
although it is though the dam broke.
Turtle Creek valley was visited by a
disast trous flood and the damage is
enormous. Crops are blotted from the
earth. Railroad traffic Through the
great territory is demoralized. With
four connections into UniOntown the
Pennsylvania was unable to get pas
sengers into the city early today. Sew
eral railroad bridges Of that system
and of tine B. & o., we're torn from
foundations thought impregnable and
hurled into the maddened waters.
| Hundreds are homeless and thousand
are suffering inthe towns cut off from
railroad, mail, telephone and tele-
graph connections and without fuel
or lighting facilities. From West Vir-
ginia no reports can be procured by
the weather bureau, for almost every
wire from that state lis down. 1t was
! in the coke regions that the fury or
the storm seems to have been spent.
Uniontown, Dunbar, Lemont, Mount
Bradock and Connelsville are all in
undated and suffered great damage.

ROOSEVELT HAD
LARGE contributions

WASHINGTON, July 25.-George
r. Sheldon, treasurer of the g'epubli-
can national committee in 1904, today
told the senate committee investigat-
ing campaign funds his version of the
late Edward H. Harriman's contribu-
tion to President ROosevdlt's' cam
paign funds lin 1904. Sheldon said he
knew j. P. Morgan and H. c. Frick
were contributors in 1904. The late
Cornelius N. Bliss was treasurer then,
but Sheldon was associated with him
in an official capacity. He could not
remember the amounts which the
Morgan firm or Frick gave in 1904,
but classed them among the large
contributors to that campaign Shell
dOns books as treasurer we're pro
duced for the inspection OF the COM
mittee.
Sheldon said that Hartman tOgeth-
er with Bliss got together some $780,
900, which money was handed to the
state committee and never went into
the national committee.

ARMIES MEET
IN "a HOURS
Blues Blow up Tunnel and
Cut Reds OFF From Their
Base Of Supplies

CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis, July 25.-
The battle between the Reds, COM
posed wholly of United States regular
troops and the Blues, composed OF
regular troops and state militia, be-
gan at dawn today. On the theory
that the Reds had invaded hostile
county by crossing the Mississippi
river at lacrosse and already had
planted their flag in the interior as
far as Tomah, 10 miles east of Sparta,
the Blues broke camp at daylight and
hastened to meet their foes. 1t is
estimated that the two armies which
are to fight out mimic campaign on
a basis SO near an actual war footing
as possible will not face each other
within the next twenty-fOur hours be.
cause much theoretical burning OF
bridges and blowing up of railroads
is to be done to harass the advancing
enemy. Already the Blues have post
ed on the railroad tunnel the notice,
"This tunnel has been blown up" and
this lis expected effectually to cut Off
the Reds from their base Of supplies
on the Government military reserva-
ton at Camp Mccoy. Numerous
bridges have also technically been
destroyed and If the Reds succeed
in replenishing their army from Camp
Mccoy it will be because of superior
tactics.

CHEAP MONEY
FOR farmers
Confidence IS Shown In The

Section
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune
BEACH, July 25.-J. r. Waters, the
local loa nman, is advertising money
at s per cent on farm loans. This
will be great help to the farmers
as they have been paying IL per cent
1t is not My help to the farmers
but it shows that the parties who take
these loans have great confidence IN
the Slope country.
With the excellent crop conoluons
throughout the Golden Valley condi-
tions are bound TO remain prosperous
and this low rate OF interest prevail.
1t is fact that has been evidenced
IN. the last few years that the country
has produced as large crops AS the
central states and land has been sell
ing for third as much. Surely II
they base the interest on loans ac-
cording to the productiveness of the
soil, money ought to be as cheap nj
North Dakota as in any other state.
