inches OF RAIN
Damage to Crops Enormous.
Loss on Roads and Bridges
in Lafayette County Will
Reach $15O,OOO.OO.
IN DAYS

Thursday, May 27, 1915, Lex
ington suffered the most severe
rain storm ever known in her
existence. Old Timers, whose
memories never fail to recall the
happenings down through the
years, declare that they never
saw anything like it. 1t could
not be designated as a rain, it
was simply a deluge. If there
was a building in Lexington that
it did not penetrate it has not
been reported. Every system of
drainage was so inadequate that
there appeared to be none any
where.
The Missouri Pacific including
the Sedalia branch and the
River Route were out of COM
mission, and no trains were run
over either line from Wednes-
day night until Saturday
The damage about Lexington
extends in every direction.
Within the city washouts were
numerous, gardens destroyed,
and chickens drowned. (All
dogs are reported safe.)
Throughout the county the
loss in culverts and bridges will
reach an enormous sum-. No
accurate information is avail
able as to the exact number, but
so far the following bridges are
reported gone: The big Sni
bridge east of Wellington, the
Galloway bridge, Dryer bridge,
Mulhearn bridge, a new bridge
under construction by the Vim
cennes Bridge Co., over the Sni
between Bates City and Odessa
went out with all of the false
work. In addition to this loss
there were dozens of culverts
among the missing. This dam
age added to the destruction of
road beds, will no doubt reach
$15O,OOO.OO.
The mines about Lexington
were not spared. The McGrew
mine No. / suffered from a land
slide, The Ed Aull mine was
flooded, and the shaft of the
the Midway mine of the West
ern Coal and Mining Co., caved
in.
The Missouri Gas and Electric
company also had their troubles.
Improvements were under way
at the electric plant which plac-
ed it especially vulnerable to ac-
ton Of the elements. The excess
water from 10th street passing
through the gas plant took all Of
the gas with it, and this service
for a short time was on the
blink,
The Old Nilsson did nobly in
carrying off the flood. The bot
toms were inundated in spots
and for a time a general flood
was looked for.
The new Goose Pond passed
away with the flood; the old re-
mains. Some of the new mounds
of fresh earth are but a men,
DRY. Old land marks peep
through their shining beds of
clay and remind the passerby
that new levies on their patience
and pocket books will have to be
made in order to restore what
had recently been built.

Campbell property is gone, the

three when MI. d. Warren Sher-
man and Miss Mary Lillian At
keison were married at the home
of the brides aunt, Mrs. John
P. Hausam, 1888 Highland aven-
ue. The wedding had been look
ed forward to with interest by
the friends of the bride and

ding was elegantly planned and
perfectly carried out in every
detail. The house was t~astefully
decorated in ferns and roses and
the front porch was enclosed

displayed. These presents were
both useful and beautiful and
came not only from Lexington
but from various parts of the
country.
At the appointed hour about
sixty guests had assembled. Miss
Annie Wood Eggleston sang
cat Dawning" by Cadman and
Miss Jean Brightwell sang
Bonds Il Love You Truly"
Then Miss 10 Hinesley at the
piano played a few measures Of
the Lohengrin Wedding March.
Little Miss Anna Helen Swift,
bearing the ring in a basket of
roses, came down the stairs and
took her place just inside the
parlor. She was followed by
the bride and groom who were
met Immediately within the par
lor door by Rev. o. R. Sellers,
the officiating minister. The
bride wore a pretty putty color
ed suit with gloves to match,
black hat and boquet of Sweet
heart roses. A modified form Of
the Episcopal service was used.
After the ceremony the guests
offered congratulations and best
wishes to the happy pair and an
informal reception was held.

Treadwell vs. Juneau, which consumed two hours time and resulted in vic- tory for the latter, score to 2.
 This concluded the sports at Tread we'll and the hungry crowd stampeded for lunch almost before the game was over. Even the seductive strains of Paul Kegel's baud failed as an attrac- ton about this time.
 At l:30 in the afternoon the crowds began to gather at the Douglas ball grounds to witness the drilling contest, altough a sudden shower kept many at home for a while. The rock drilling contest resulted in a victory for the team from the Ready Bullion, Burk and Gravcel, who drilled 3l1[ inches in fifteen minutes in a granite boulder and won the prize of Sl5O.
 The field sports results were as fol- lows, the names appearing in che order of their finish:

Independence Day Celebration

Douglas Island laid aside business cares Monday and celebrated from early morning until late at night The only reminder of work was the steady roar of the big 800 mill, which had a bread and butter sound. The weather was fine most all day. Cloudy in the morning, a heavy shower about o'clock and then bright sunshine for the bal auce of the day.
 The exercises began promptly at s o'clock in the morning, when eight hose teams, of ten meu each, lined up to compete for the honors and the cash prizes, S25O first and SlOO second. The teams were five from the Treadwell fire department, two from Douglas and one from the Alaska Juneau mine. The fact that all of the teams were we'll drilled and the time limit of 28 seconds made speed necessary aud the only team to catch the water on the first try was the Ready Bullion; time l9 l 3. In the second try the cyanide team won out in 2l seconds Rat, and took the second prize.
 Perhaps the most interesting event of the entire day was the First Aid con test between underground teams. Three teams entered-Treadwell, Mex icau and Ready Bullion. Each team is composed of five men who are equipped with a Johnson first aid cabinet, stretcher, slats, blanket, etc. A "paS tient" is provided and the iudges-in this case Doctors Midford aud Ellis- designated the form of the test or sup. posed disability. The teams worked carefully aud we'll, so much SO that the winners made 97 points out of a pos- sible 100. This was the team from the Mexican. The prize was Sl50. After the contest was over, it was announced that Superintendent Bradley had added a second and third prize, which were awarded by the judges as follows: Bul lion, second, S6O; Treadwell, third, S30. First aid teams are maintained on each level of the mines at Treadwell aud their work is watched with much inter- est by all of the employees, who realize the possibilities it offers in case of all kinds of accidents. For this reason the exhibition work of the three teams was appreciated.
 Then followed the baseball game,
