A General Cloudburst Over Whole Cen- tral West. Summed up by the Republic, 30th. Never before has the Central West been visited by such an abundance of rain as that which has been falling almost incessantly sincé Thursday morning, and which, in some locali- ties, yet shows no abating. In most parts of Missouri and IIli- nois there has been a fall of six inches in the four days of the dulge, and all streams are swollen beyond propor- tions, are overflowing the low lands, destroying crops and threatening property of all kinds. Where the stream has been accom- panied by wind there has been heavy y damage to property. Stables and outhouses have been blown down, orchards laid waste and acres of grain blown flat in the mud, not to be saved for the harvesting. Railroad property bas been dam- aged by washing out of unballasted tracksand the destruction of bridges, but the loss in this respect is not to be reckoned, until the floods which | ang both are yet to follow have done their In Kansas, where the wheat har- vest has been in progress, it has been raining constantly for forty-two days. The damage to crops in Kan- sas will, however, not be as heavy as in Missouri and Illinois, where other crops have been destroyed by the bundance of rain. } Accompanying the rain in Colora- , there was a heavy snowstorm, At Leadville and other parts there was a fall of eight inches. Reports received by The Republic last night from over the storm area did not include a single fatality. The Only damage seems to have been done the crops. In some localities a rain was need- ed, but there is a cry of enough from even these sections now. Saves a Woman’s Life.

For twenty years the moth- er of the notorious bandit watched his grave. Last fall she left the old home farm and went to live at the hotel in Kearney, three miles away, The farm was rented, and the ones who rented it charged 25 cents to visitors who drove out from Excel- sior Springs to see the grave. This incensed the old lady and she decided to have the body taken up and buri- ed in the cemetery. The body lay exactly as it was put into the cottin twenty years ago, Theform of the body was there in life size. The h x y the breast, the flesh was gone from them, but the bones were yet united by tendons, The black suit of cloth- ing looked as fresh and clean as if it were new. The coat was buttoned up to the chin, the trousers were creased and the stockinged feet of the dead bandit stuck up from below the trousers bottoms, as they did the day he was buried. The flesh of the face was gone, but the full beard was there as natural as life, and the hair was upon the scalp. John Samuels, half brother of the dead man, stooped down and turned the head to one side to look for the hole of the bullet fired hy Bob Ford. As he turned the skull sideways there was the jagged hole in the skull just behind the left ear. It was a bullet hole, the bone was ernshed inward, The bullet‘did not come out the op- Mr. Samuels looked for a hole there but there tas none, Frank James was in bed atthe hotel in Kearney when the pall bear- ers arrived from Kansas City on the 9 o'clock train. These Hi George, of Oak Grove; Sim Whitsett. of Lee’s Summit: Frank Gregy, of Grain Valley; William Gregg, of Kan- sas City; Warren Weleh, of Indepen- dence, und Ben Morrow, of Lake City. These men had fought with Frank and Jesse James in Quantrell’s guer- rila band. They had known and protected Frank and Jesse James, when by saying one word they could have earned a reward of $50,000 of- fered by the state When they left the train they went to the hotel and to the room where Frank James lay inbed. Heannounced hisdetermina- tion of getting up at onee, no mat- ter what the consequences, And he did get up and dressed, first ordering an early dinner for all hands. At 11:30 o'clock all started in carriages forthe old James home. They reach- ed there at 1 o'clock. The coffin was borne from the parlor down the gar- den path between rows of blooming hollyhocks and scarlet poppies to the hearse at the gate. It was car- ried by thesix old guerrillas. Behind it walked Frank James, head uncov- ered, shoulders bowed, with weak steps. Behind him walked Jesse James, jr. They were the only ones. Mrs Samuels sat upon the porch and watched. CROWD AT THE C@METERY. were It was a drive of three miles to the cemetery. There was gathered a great crowd. The open grave was between the graves of Mrs. Jesse James and Archie Samuels, the child half-brother of Jesse James, who was killed by a dynamite bomb thrown by Pinkerton detectives in the old turbulent times. Into this grave the bones of Jesse James were lowered , and the earth was filled in. There j Were no religious services.
