was 1.9l inches. About 10 per cent
Of this fell between $3.50 and o'clock.
The blankets of water. deluging the

and one man was drowned in a most
peculiar manner as result OF the
heavy rains.
While the downpour was the heaviest

mer, the outlook for to-day is for
clearing weather accompanied by brisk
nOrthwesterly winds.
According TO the local Weather Bu-
reau, barometric changes are more
frequent than for several weeks. The
storm that was centred in the lower
Missouri Valley yesterday has moved
to the lower lakes. attended by general
rains from the Missouri Valley TO the
North Atlantic Coast and higher tenn
peratures east Of the Mississippi River
The victim of the rain was Robert
Kinsela, fifty-ive years old, a porter
employed in the Memo Building. at No.
100 East 10th street. He had gone to
the roof of the building to clear the
drain pipe, which had become plugged,
accompanied by three other employees
of the building
After cropping about In the sixteen
inches Of water on the roof Kinsela
finally found the mouth Of the drain
pipe. As he removed the obstruction
Kinsela cried out in alarm and foun-
dered down into the water. The other
men spashed through the water until
they reached Kinsela's side. They
found his right arm had become
wedged I'm the drain pipe by the power

The water. which had now begun to
drain off, finally pulled Kinselss head
beneath the surface. The men got their
arms about the mans body, but all
three were unable to free him from the
pipe.
II was not until the water had been
almost drained eff that kinsela could
be drawn from the pipe. Patrolman

summoned an ambulance from Bellevue
Hospital. but Or. Hawkins said the man
had been drowned. The body was re-

ATTACHING HEROIC TOUCHES

We read in the 'steemed Chicago
Record-Herald that. Some time ago
Gov Marshall decided that he pre-
ferred private life and would accept
no nomination for second term as
state executive"
We don't believe that his excel
lency said that. II he did he had
better pore over the constitution of
the state of Indiana. 1t expressly
prohibits a governor from succeeding
himself. If the governor didn't say
il either the Record-Herald is misin-
formed or it is going out its way to
tack on a few heroic touches to the
Hoosier statesman's halo.
In any event, the vice presidency,
IL Mr.. Marshall is elected, affords q
jumping off place, obscure as it is,
but which 1t should not be that is
somewhat more attractive than re-
turning back to gloomy Columbia

OUGHT TO BE HAPPY.

The Lafayette Journal thinks that
the Presbyterians ought to be happy
anyway. 1t said yesterday:
''Of course church affairs have
nothing to do with politics and the
people have grown away from religl-
Gus prejudices. But the good natured
observation has been made that Mr.
Bryan, who controlled the recent
democratic convention, Woodrow
Wilson, who was nominated for preei-
dent. and Tom Marshall, who was
nominated for vice president, are
Presbyterians. Mr.. Bryan is promi-
nent church man and 1t is said that
after this campaign he will assume
the management of Winona Assemb-
ly, the Presbyterian headquarters oil
the west. Woodrow Wilson is former
president of the worlds greatest
Presbyterian school. Tom Marshal
is a deacon in the church and also
trustee of Wabash college, a Presbv-
terrain college. 1t has been observed
jokingly that the Democratic party Il
a party of Presbyterians, by Presby-
terians and for Presbyterians.

injuries and an occasional fatality in
Lake County. Hardly year passed
that the doctors did not have to cope
with the terors of a case of tetanus
resulting from powder burns.
I'll was a silly sacrifice that the
country was making to perpetuate an
old custom. People individually took
that view of the situation but while
they may have taken the common
view of the situation they failed to
act.

papers did was to point out the extent
of the loss Of life through the allure
of the public to curb the use of fire.

THE TIMES from it's very begin

loss by showing it up in the aggre-

fireworks problem.

frequent cause of tetanus, and the
