DEATH AND
RUIN FOLLOW
BIG STORM
Four People Killed in Cloud
burst at Alton,
illinois.
THE LOSS A QUARTER MILLION.
Wall of Water BUSHES Through
the Main Street of
Town.
THE LOSS A QUARTER MILLION

St. Louis, Mo-, July 15.-Four
persons were drowned at Alton, ILL.,,
early yesterday morning by a cloud
burst which destroyed two miles of
streets, wrecked six buildings and
the gas plant of the Alton Gas and
Electric company with total prop
erty loss of $250,0O0.
The cloudburst followed a spec
tacular storm which lasted all night.
A heavy cloud passed over the city
three times, flooding streets and cell
lars each time.
As it lowered over the city the
third time terrific flash of light
ming seemed to split the heavens and
without further warning the rain
fell in torrents, sending a wall of
water nine feet deep through the
principal streets.
Sewers broke almost Immediately,
washing away the foundations of six
residences which dropped into the
cellars.
A culvert under the gas plant of
the Alton Gas and Electric company
was washed out, permitting the en-
tire plant to drop several yards.
The dead:
Mrs Frances Mcguire, As years
old.
Goldie Mcguire, years old.
Mrs. Hester Moss, 46 years old.
Archie Boyce, 20 years old,
Wesley Moore, boarder at the
Mcguire home, rescued his mother
and two small children of Mrs. Ma
guire by lifting them to the roof of
the house.
He attempted to take 3-year-old
Goldie from Mrs Mcguire The
child's mother was deaf and, not
understanding what he wanted, re-
fused to give up the child and
Moore had just time enough to climb
to the roof when the wall of water
struck the house, drowning the
woman and baby.
The child's body was found,
caught in fence, two blocks from
its home.
That more lives were not lost was
due to the heroic efforts of William
Daty, who ran through the streets
ahead of the water, breaking win
dows with his bare hands and
awakening sleeping families in time
to permit them to reach safety.
A special meeting of the city
council has been called for tonight
to appropriate funds for repairing
the two miles of wrecked streets
and sewers.
A peculiar feature of the storm
was the manner in which it lowered
over the, immediate vicinity of AL
ton. 1t was not felt beyond seven
mile radius. On the outskirts of
this area, the storm was accompan-
led by high wind, but in Alton
where it reached its greatest vio-
lence, there was no wind.
The levee at Alton was wrecked
by the huge wave of water as 1t car
ried its collection of debris into the
Mississippi river.
At least hundred families lost
their belongings and many were
homeless yesterday.

important, however, occurred early to-

is a small auxiliary embankment and
does not affect the main levee system.
The acreage which will loverflow is
small and composed largely of wood
lands
Dispatches from Helena reports the
levees in the immediate vicinity Of
that city holding and no immediate
apprehension is felt. The gaps in the
levee at Mllepost "a, which went out
yesterday. and in Iaconla Circle, sixty
miles south of Helena. are reported
widening rapidly Practically the en-
tire southern half Of Phillips county
and part of Desha county is under
water.

Although thoge ma. dispute it who
have not tried It. yet thousands Of
Others who speak from personal ex-
perience. assert that there Is a perma-
nent cure for chronic constipation.
Some testify they were cured for as
little as fifty cents. years ago. and
that the trouble never came back on
them. while others admit they took
several bottles before a steady cure
was brought about.
The remedy referred to is Dr Ca.d-
wells Syrup Pepsin. II has been on
the market for over a quarter of a
century and has been popular zed on
its merits. by one person telling an
other. The fact that its strongest
supporters are women and elderly
poople--the ones most persistently
stipated-makes IL certain that the
claims regarding II as permanent
cure for constipation have not been
exaggerated.
