Reports of loss of life have been received A number who wes viewing the flood from the bridge approach told of having seen a man on the roof of a floating house. The house was overturned by the current dur- ing the afternoon and the man disappeared Neéar Madison a dike broke this after noon and n wall of water rushed through Three women, endeavoring to escape, were seen to crouch hewilderedly behind a board tence. The wall of water three feet high wwept the fence awuy and only after stren- uous efterts were two of the women saved The third, Mrs. Anton, wife of a saloc Keeper, clasping her Infant in her ariis, was, according to witnesses, swept away and drownedq. There are reports of five employes of the American nd Foundry works losing thelr lives. They were fieeing from the advancing flood, but, thinking to save their tools, went back Into the plant and did_not return At -0 tonight a small steamboat, with a powerful propeller, was secured and hastily preparcd for a trip to Black Wal- nut to rescue the people imperilled there As the yacht went out into the current it at once hegan to make headway and a cheer of encouragement went up from the spectators. The moonlight clearly fllumi- nates the river tonight and floating logs and other debris can be easily seen and avolded, o the steamer should have no difficulty in reaching Black Walnut with little delay. The boat Is low enough to pass under the Bellefontaine bridge, and unless some accident happens there is no reason why the marooned refugees should not ba rescued before daylight. HANNIBAL 1S SHUT OFF One Burlington Train is Sole Ar- rival from the Outsid World, HANNIBAL, Mo., June 7.—Flood condi- tions are growing worse in Hannibal. The Mississippi reached 22.2 feet tonight, a rise of four inches today. Business is wholly at a standstill and seven raliroads entering Hannibal are practically paralyzed. One train from St. Louls over the Burlington was the total amount of railroad "traffic today. The Sny levee across the Illinois side still holds but hourly it is expected to break. Four hundred workmen gre work- ing day and night to strengthen It. START COUNTING THE COST Kansan Loses $13,830,000 by Floods, While Missourl City Will Not Now Estimate, KANSAS CITY, Mo., June By degrees estimates are coming in of the damage wrought by the flood, thougn so far no one has attempted figuring for this city. ‘The heaviest loss in any one state was undoubtedly in Kansas, and those best in & position to know have put their knowl- edge into figures as follows.

Owing to the lateness of the season and the condition of the soll it 18 doubtful it any profit will be drawn Quring™the re- mainder of the year from the farms in- undated. As a consequence there will be a great deal of individual want and suffering among the farmers upon whom the blow fell heaviest. Raflroads Cannot Estimate. The damage to the railroads operating in and out of this city can scarcely be estimated. Outside of the considerable item inyolved in loss to freight in cars and buildings, nearly all lines out of Kansas City suffered severe losses in washed o track and destroyed bridges. The loss in freight flooded, burned or lost dewn the river may amount to $2,000,000 or $3,000,000. By way of illustration, a dozen frelght cars belonging to one company and standing on tracks in the west bottoms were washed down the river. The Bur- lington lost seventeer loaded cars by five in Harlem and nearly three times that num- ber were burned in the west bottoms. Be- sides the hundreds of cars whose conteats were ruined by flood or fire the freight houses of the St. Louls & San Francisco, the Chicago & Alton, the Burlington, the Santa Fe, the Rock Island, the Missouri JPacific, the Wabash, the Kansas City Southern, the Bt. Joseph & Grand Island, the Chicago Great Wi rn, the Union Pa- cific and one or two others were flooded, with the consequent loss of thousands of dollars to each line from this cause alone. The Burlington estimates its loss in its freight house alone at $00,000. Each of the other roads lost as much, Al day today gangs of workmen were at work cleaning up the west bottoms, the Union depot, the rallway yards, the whelesule houses and the packing houses, and there will be quite a resumption in all lines of business tomorrow morning. The Armour packing plant will be one of tha first to begin active operations. The other pucking plants will start up in a measure tomorrow and all will be in full blast befcre the week ends. Both the Missouri and the Kaw rivers fell tully three feot during the last twenty- four hours, the Missourl at 6 this evening marking 2.7, and made it possible for a dosen more railroads to make use of the Union depot. The rallway situation is greatly improved. LEAVENWORTH, Kaa., June 7.—The Missourl river fell eighteen inches during the last twenty-four hours and it is now more than five feet below the highest stage. All the railroads are engaging coal miners and other laborers to begin road repairing. The Terminal bridge approach can be re- paired in two days, but it will require 100 men &t least three days to fix up tracks in the Missourl bottoms between Beverly and the eastern bridge approach.

The work of search and renovation of North Topeka was not pressed with much vigor today, the workmen taking the first day of rest since the flood came upon the city. Over forty farms near North Topeka have been entirely ruined. The swift current washed away much of the good soll and in Its place has left a thick, hard layer of sand, rendering the ground useless. The water fell at a rapid rate today. Falling at Jefferson City. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June 7.—The Missouri river is slowly falling here. Last night it registered 1.9 feet and tonight the stage is 31.4, a fall of six inches. The Missourl Pacific road which for a week has been the one line open to the west from St. Louls, has repaired one or two washouts and passenger tralns are running regularly, NORTHERN IDAHO STRICKEN Engines Topple from Weak Em!

A1l trains west from Havre are being routed over the Northern Pacific and Great Falls. Long stretches of embankment along the Kootenal river have caved in and it will probably be two weeks before traffic over the fegular route can be resumed. Two engines toppled from the weakened em- bankments and plunged into the river. No casualties have occurred. Bonner's Ferry; 1daho, is flooded and the people are using bBats. DEGREE OF HONOR MEMORIAL Services Held at A. 0. U. W, Temple by the Sisterhood Before n Large Audience. The annual memorial services of the De- gree of Honor were observed last evening by the five lodges of this city at Anclent Orger of United Workmen temple, and were tdll of impressive interest. A very en- tertaining program was rendered under the direction of the following officers: Mrs, Hostetter, chief of honor; Mrs. Bright, past chief of honor; Mrs. Whittlg, lady of -honor, and Mrs. Copeland, chief of ceremonies. The program opened with a vocal solo, “Calvary,” by Miss Birdie Wilson. This was followed by the ‘“Remembrance Hymn,” by the Degree of Honor quartet, and the solo, “Lead, Kindly Light,” by Mrs. Bumgardt. Then came the eulogy upon the deceased members of the order by Grand Chief of Honor Mrs. Mary A. Latky, which was replete with pathetic interest. The members of the order who dled during the last year were: Anna Gibson of loige 28, Barbara Beidefeldt and Mary Anderson of lodge 173, Hattle Knowl- ton and Selma Mattsen of Jodge 220. The services were largely attended.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEF: MONDAY, IDEATH LIST CROWS BIGGER Bighty Are Now Reported Drowned by Bouth Carolina Floode PROPERTY DAMAGE REACHES $3,500,000 Southern Rallway pend Trains, s Wi s Forced to § Trestle Work d Away from COLUMBIA, 8. June 7.—Though the great flood is passing on to the ocean laden with debris of every description, and the swollen streams are subsiding in the Pledmont region, the loss of life and prop- erty is increasing and a conservative es- timate tonight places the property loss at not less than $3500,000. The most con- servative total dead s eighty. At Clifton alone 100 operatives are missing from the village and all are believed to have been lost. During today dead bodies wore washed ashore here and there and occa- sionally a dismembered limb floated to the banks, Heavy Loss at fton, The loss at Clifton's three mills will ap- proximate $2,000,000. At Pacolet the loss is near $1,000,000. The greatest want among the survivors is at Clifton, where 500 are destitute. At Converse mills, the newest of Clif- ton's cluster, the walls were washed away and the looms left standing. The engine bridges were carried three miles down the stream, demolishing the operatives' houses on the way. Reports from the Seneca river, near the Georgla line, are better tonight. The Blue Ridge road between Seneca and Anderson is intact and the Newry mill is not badly damaged and will be running tomorrow. The railroad situation is glying much un- easiness here and throughout the state to- day. ‘'he Southern today suspended trains be- tween Columbla and Epartanburg, 200 feet of the trestle at Shelton, below Union, having been washed away. The Coast Line trestle, two miles west of the city, affords the only exit from Columbia to the Pied- mont country, and i is apparently a frail structure a infle and a half in length, with wooden benches upon an lsland in mid- stream. This bridge was firm at midnight and the water is rising more slowly. - The breaks on the trestles will be repaired within forty-elght hours if the Coast Line trestle holds out until morning. Maryiand in Trouble Now. MOUNT SAVAGE, Md., June 7.—A cloud- burst this evening swelled the small streams out of their banks and caused seri- ous damage to a number of manufactur- ing concerns.” The tracks of the Maryland and Pennsylvania rallroads were under- mined and damaged. At several nelghbor- ing towns the cocupants of houses were res- cued in skiffs. War Department Sends Afd. WABHINGTON, June 7.—Absolutely nec- essary rellef In the way of rations and shelter will be given by the War depart- ment to the sufferers by the aisastrous floods in South Carolina. An appeal to Secretary Root from the local authorities resulted in orders being given to General Chaffee, commanding the Department of the Kast, to this effect. He will authorize an officer to proceed north from Atlanta with sufficlent supplies to relieve immediate nccessities, as was done in the cAsé of the sufferers by the Gaines- ville (Ga.) catastroph Runaway Boy im Trouble. A young man nbout 18 years old was plcked up by the police at Eleventh and Jouglas streets Sunday afternoon about & o'clock, suffering from heart trouble. He gave the name of Ellis Jacobs and claims to hail from 11A West One Hundred and Bighteenth street, New York City, and that his father is County Detective Jacobs, who worked up the evidence in the famous Canfleld gambling raid in Gotham, When found the boy was in a stato of collapse, but soon revived under the treatment of Police Surgeon Mac- Diarmid, who réports his chances good for recovery. The boy admitted running away from his home after a quarrel with his father, and has been doing hard laboring work at Swift's in South Omaha. He is without friends or money and seems anxious for his parents to learn of his whereabouts, Arrangements will be made for the lad to be taken to the comunty hospital. Chamberia! Stomach and Liver Tablets Better Than Pills, The question has been asked, In what way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to pills? Our answer is ~They are easier and more pleasant to take, more gentle and mild in their action and more reliable, as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and in- vigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pllls are more harsh in effeet and their use is often fol- lowed by constipation.

Ferria Summer Stock Col Boyd, The well known melodrama based on the equally well known nove: of the eame name, ‘‘Monte Crist was given last evening at the Boyd theater as the opening bill of the week by the Ferris Summer Stock com- pany. The plece is staged with much care, and some effort at selection is noticeable In the assignment of parts. It is only na- tural in such an organization that occasion- ally a round peg must be asked to assume a square hole temporarily, and if the de- tall of the performance as not all 1t should be, it may be charged to the fact that every member is not capable of doing everything well. It is certain that each has the merit of honestly trying. S8ome of them succeed admirably well. This s particu- larly true of the Caderousse of John Mylie. It 18 not much of a part, but is very essen- tial to the action of the play, Just as it was to the story, ahd Mr. Mylie gives a very careful and intelligent expression to it, avolding any appearance of overacting, and making his performance one of the gems of the evening o far as a bit of character work goes. Dell Henderson makes his Nolrtier very nearly what one might con- ceive the real man to have been. Edmond Dantes falls naturally to Mr, Slddons, who has already proved himself a versatile and in many ways capable actor, His creation of the part will not win him any jmmortal fame, but it will add to the opinion already formed of him as a man who will consclen- tiously endeavor to give Intelligent rendi- tion to any role he may undertake, und who, it he be not really great, is far from being a fallure. Miss Pavey hasn't much to do as Mercedes, but does that little well Mary Hill makes Albert a charming yours fellow. Dollle Davis wears a handsome gown well in her appearance as the daughter of Danglars, and there her serv- fce to the play ends. Carl Caldwell as Villefort, Harry Barlow as Danglars and Hugh MacKaye as Fernando seem to, have no conception of what is required of them on the stage. A fow hours with the novel might give each a better idea of his char- acter. The piece Is excellently staged, and was given last night smoothly and satls- factorily. The customary big audience was present. On Tuesday afternoon a speclal matinee will be given, the proceeds of which will be sent direct to the flood sufferers. The bill will run until after Wednesday night, when “Dr. Bill” will be put on for the rest of the week. TULLOCH CONTINUES ~FIGHT (Continued from First Page.) will leave Cleveland early in the evening, arriving in Washington probably. before noon on Thursday. On Monday evening, June 15, the president will go to Baltimore to attend the Saengerfest concert, roturn- ing next morning. On June 16 he will go to Chariottesville, Va., to attend the com- mencement_exercises of the University of Virginia, He will return to \Wasathgton that evening. Italians Fully Protected. Signor Mayor Des Planches, the Italian ambassador, has received from Mr. Eper- anza, the secretary of the Soclety for the Protection of Itallan Immigrants to chis countay, his report on the recent disturb- ances in West Virginia, in which Italians were said to have suffered from mob viol- ence. Mr, Speranza shows that Governor White of West Virgi all ‘that could he expected gf hian ng the Ital- lans. Action by ti government in the face of the facts as they now appear is not therefore expected. Spain Oppoi Coin The Bpanish government is seriously cor cerned over the sale at auction of the Spanish copper coln remaining in the Phil- ippines. This is part of the Philippine cur- rency scheme. The Spanish government in calling this matter to the attention of the United States government, expresses fear that if the coin is sold to anyone besides the Spanish government it will have the ef- fect of debasing the currency, as it would undoubtedly drift back into Spath. Governor Taft has expressed his views upon the mat- ter and it is for the State department to say whether the awards shall be made on the bids opened at Manila. Commerce Department Mov Tomorrow the Department of Commerce and Labor will be quartered in its new home, the Willard bullding on Fourteenth street, only a few doors from Pennsyl- vania avenue, though it will be a few days later before Secretary Cortelyou moves from his present quarters In the Bullding exchange. The new bullding is a handsome eight- story structure with an ornately designed freestone front. On the eight floors there are 104 rooms. All are weil lighted and de- signed with special reference to the work of the several bureaus. As the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor after July 1 will be one of the largest departments in the government, all the bureaus cannot be accommodated in the new building. Sev- eral of them, notably the United States Fish commission, the present Department of Labor, the lighthouse establishment, (he census offices and the bureau of statistics will remain in their present quarters until & permanent building for the department has been erected. Some of the other bureaus now in existence in other depart- ments will be located in the Wil build ing after July 1. The rooms on the first floor of the new department will be used for files, malling and storage purposes. The chief clerk and disbursing officers, with thelr clerical force, will occupy the sec- ond floor. BSecretary Cortelyou, with his immediate force, will occupy part of the third floor. The assistant secretary and the department solicitor will take up nearly all the fourth floor. The fifth and sixth floors will be occupled by Commissioner Garfleld and his bureau of corporations. The bureaus of standards of immigration will be on the seventh floor, while the bureau of steamboat inspection probably will be on the eighth floor. As yet the as signment of some of the bureaus is tenta- tive. A place In the new bullding will be found for the bureau of manufactures, but thus far it has not been located. Italians Celebrate Freedom. Constitution Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Itallan constitution, was ap- propriately celebrated at the Itallan em- bassy today by & reception which Signor Mayor Des Planches, the Itallan am- bassador, tendered to *members of the Itallan societies In Washingtos. More than 40 Itallans were recelved. The ambassador in a felicitous speech emphasized the importance of observing the national days of the mother country and urged on his countrymen an apprecia- tion of the hospitality of the country of their adoption. Sold M jenger Boy's Wheel. A cheap grade wheel caused John Oliver of 1212 Dorcas street to go wrong. He took the wheel from an American Distriet Telegraph boy named Arthur Bostrup on Saturday evening, In front of the American District Telegraph company's office on Far- nam street. Oliver pleads drunkenness as his excuse for taking the bicycle, but did not tell the police why he made such tracks for Council Bluffs to sell the ma chine for §l. The wheel was recovered trom the Council Bluffs authorities. BEAUTY AS A SICN OF GRACE Mental and Spiritual Bide of Man Are Involved in Esthetio. WHAT ART SHOULD BE CULTIVATED MORE Chancellor Andrews' Hacealaureate Sermon to the Graduating U of ‘the Univernity Nebraska, ot (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 7.—(Special Telegram.)— Chancellor 1. Benjamin Andrews delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the Unlversity of Nebraska today. His theme was “Beauty" and he found his text In Psalms xc. 17: “Let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us.” Chancellor Andrews argued that both beauty and the capacity for enjoying beauty spring from mental and spiritual conditions, rather than from physical, and that the direct propor- tlon to the mental and spiritual advance of man his capacity for the enjoyment of the beautiful is increased and he is increased in beauty himself. In developing this line of thought he sal The sense of beauty is an endowment of all men, we find it even in savages. In nearly all it has some degree of cultivation. Moreover, we all instinctively feel that it ought to be cultivated, that to be a person of taste is a legitimate, desirable, and val- uable attalnment. It Is a remarkable fact that this is the sole purely natural pro- | fengity which can be cultivated without imit and not do the person the slightest moral harm. = Of no form of appetite can this be sald. ~ Appetite, too, I8 naturai and has to be glven a certain scope in our life, yet we have not a single appetite which does not carry with it a_positive danger; and most of us are well aware how easy it is to be swept off our feet Ly the power of one of the lower impulse which, after all, we cannot eradicate an ought not to eradicate. The love of beauty is not a source of evil in any such sense as that, Undoubtedly this part of our nature too can be employed and developed In & way to Induce unfortunate moral re- sults, but if so the evil must come from downright abuse of the esthetic sense, and cannot arise from the mere exercise of that sense. 1In itself it is always helpful and never noxlous to ethical well-being Our esthetic nature can lead us astray only in the same way as our religlous na- ture may. Application of the Argument, Hib application of his theme is couched in the following language: The thought Which we have been re- viewing of the esthetic in its various manifestations as just the radiance of the moral, has both its personal lesson and its social lesson. The personal lesson is that in the relation enounced we may find a true-test of esthetic cultivation as real or nominal, as deep or merely super- ficlal. Real esthetic cultivation wiiF be In its possessor a moral force, and any esthetic sensibility or power which does not thus make for righteousness is elther fraudulent or as yel desperately feeble. The beautiful is as yet nothing for us if it does not move and shore us to the good. f any of us are interested in art, if we are touched by beauty and are not aftected by the spirituality of it, we are as yet but wretcned smatterers in this department of truth. ~Real esthetic cultivation in- volves insight, enabling you to read the hiefoglyphics of beauty us well as its plain script. Real esthetic consecration Is a virtue and a grace. The social lessoh which the truth of the hour Inculcates is that no man or woman or community or nation can do too muth to propagate among the people a love for {rue art. Just as the art work in our pub- lic' schools is jeered by many as a fad, 80, no doubt, many think of every agency for teaching art as quite without social sigfificance or function, an extra elegance for the wealthy and the leisurely, meant solely for such as would themselves enjoy lite, but have no wish to enrich, purify or strengthen the life of society at large. There could hardly be a greater miscon- ception. The spread of esthetic taste Smong. the citisenn ie & vast public benefit v e patronage of every patriot. Next after that which ministers pl% the mere necessities of life, no expenditure of capital is of greater soclal utility than ;hl‘ll Wh:oh sets lMtnre the people’s eyes or rings- to people's ea rominent crea- tions of true beauty. 17 Art &nd Morals. There 18 & common impression that ‘he periods In mankind's history when the fins arts have reached thelr chofcest bloom, havé been precisely the periods of specia moral degeneracy. Were this true i fhe sense usually meant by thosc who pro- found the statement, .it would give ‘he ie to mnearly every proposidon advanced this hour, But it is not true in that sense. Times of rank moral decline in human story are usually times of congested wealth, when moneys are lavished in art commis: slons and when artists of grace and finisn, as dlstinct from artists of originality, mul tiply and thrive. Praxitiles and his like will be in their &tudios then, thronged b, rich nobodles with gold galore to g heavy commissions. Ask for Phidias any ‘creator, you will be told, ““Oh, virtuoso @led ‘a hundred years ago."’ artists of finish, marking times of moral decadence, come after the ~reators and stand upon thelr shoulders. The creators lived in the good old times. before virtues had given way, and the immortal creator: were. ahle to become such because in thei: times real art spirit was rife and multi- tudes who never attained fame were crout- ing aa best they could. deem this esthetic education of the people one of the most promising unusad moral resources which society now has in reserve. Many moral evils compase our modern communities about. The nutloolk for progress is In various ways discour- aging (,l’\-)ufi . At some points our course is retrograde, ‘Thinking of the human race, its vices dnd its tendencies in our time, the suge queries to himself oftener than he likes to say it aloud, I8 the great flock For the good Balder or tle Evil lok? In not a few of its worst phases our »ue exactly matches that which preceded tho dissolution of the Roman empire.

The Power over us may plaasa again to purify the air by a cyclone or-ts heave up continents of rich loam by an earthquake. But there is one Incalculable diffcrence bétween the clvilized soclety of todny and that of the anclent world when about to be dissolved. We have diffused education and they had not. The art power and the consaquent morai power of our education we have as yet hardly begun to apply. In most citizens, young or old, the art sense is still dormant. Duly awakenad, developed, ined and directed, it will be an incalculable force for virtue. Celebrations to Continue, Tomorrow evening will occur the law col- lege address by Francis Marion Burdick of Columbia, university. He will talk on *“The Lawyer; a Pest or a Panacea.” Tuesday morning at the Oliver theater will occur the senfor class play. This will begin at 10 o'clock.

Toooser, who was convicted in the Douglas county court of offering a bribe of $10 to a juror doesn’t want to pay that $250 assessed against him, neither does he want to serve that fifteen days in jail, consequently he has appealed to the su- preme court. His brief filed states that no evidence was offered to establish the charge. The brief states that “it appears that a law suit known as August Speidel against Union Selling Company was being tried to court and jury in Douglas county where there are seven judges of concurtent juris- diction, each constituting, whem. engaged in the trial of cases, a tribunal. It does not appear which of the judges was trying Speldel against the Union Selling Company. Some one however told Jacob Fawcett, one of the judges, that a juror sitting in that case had received an offer of a bribe and thereupon he sent his bailiff out t. oring the offending party before him in his pri- vate office. The brief then claims that as the records do not show that Judge Fawcett was hear- ing the case, it does not show wkau trib- unal was offended by this rumoreu offer of bribes to a juror sitting in that case.
