In some way the cur- rent which ran the car short circuited through his body, and had the conductor not had presence of mind to pull the trolley oft almost instantly after the officer cried out, the injured man would have been eloctrocuted. As it was he was very badly injured. He was removed to the drug store of Bherman & McConnell, where restora- tives were applied after which he was taken to the station. When he arrived there his heart action was very weak and he was shaking like ome with the palsy. FPolice Burgeon Schlefer took the case in hand and soon had the injured man resting comfort- ably. It is thought he will be out today. Deluges the Dillons. The water ran into the house of Mrs. Dillon at Thirty-third and Cass streets un- tl it was about two fest deep. Some nelghbor telephoned the police station and the wagon responded. When the police ar- rived the flood had subsided to some ex- tent, and the only fear of Mrs. Dillon seemed to be that her chickens would be drowned. She asked the police to help her save them, but they were too busy, and as she refused to leave her home they left, Sbe sald she had lived in the same house sixteen years and had never seen the water come into Mer dweiling before. At. Twenty-fifth and Farnam streets whero the new dancing academy is being built by Professor Chambers, the water washed out a large hole under one of the walls and it caved in.. The wall will have to be rebullt. A bullding at Twenty-eighth and Farnam streets also partially caved in as a result of the water running under one of the ‘walls. Water ran Into the basement of the bulld- tng occupled by the Omaha Daily News. Some one telephoned to central that a hose cart was wanted to pump it out. The order, was misunderstood and an alarm of fire was turned in which resulted in the fire- men rushing to the scene, to find no fire in progress. The News presses were in four feet of water last night. The Bee presses were offered to the News for use today. Flood im Little Italy. Near Twentieth and Poppleton avenue about 100 families, mostly Italians and Bohemlans, were rendered temporarily homeless by the flood. The water was trom one to four feet deep In their houses, but as they possessed very little personal property the damage was light. During the time that the flood was at ita height it re- minded, one of the tale of the confusion on the Tower of Babel. All the residents of the district were standing on the highest y could find which was W nearest By 10 o'clock the-ma, urned to X ; and ) ge amount. of mud apd Aébris hid collected, nothing unusual ap- peared. ‘ The water backed up in the sewer at the pet of Twentieth and Poppleton avenue, and ‘the pressure sent the sewer cap into the air about twelve feet. It went off with @ report like a gun. The basement of the saloon of Jacob Lindrock at the same polnt was flooded with about four feet of water. As nothing of o perishable nature was in the cellar very little damage was done. Ry Started by Water. The water ran through the roof of the limehiouse of the George A. Hoagland Lum- ber company at Sixth and Dodge streets, causing the lime to slake and set fire to the bullding, which was entirely destroyed. The bullding, which was an old shed, burned very quickly and the only thing the fire- men could do was to save ‘the adjoining lumber plles and let the building burn. The water all around the burning building was from one to three feet in depth at the time it was blazing. Mr. Hoagland reported the loss at from $3,00 to $6,000. Ho said it was fully covered by Insurance. For a time it looked as though some of the lumber in the nelghborhood would surely be burned, but the firemen by herolc efforts managed to save it. They were delayed a great deal in gotting a stream to work by the sur- rounding water. A large number of the members of the Young Men's Christian assoclation turned out and worked lke Trojans to keep the water ‘from flooding the basement of thelr bulldings and ruining the stock of goods in the basement of the store of Mrs. J. Bensop. They managed to keep the flood from doing any considera- ble amourit of damage. The cellar of the Glencairn hotel in the same vicinity was flooded, although several men worked hard to keep the water out. ¢ Street Rallway Difficultie: The street rallway company reported three cars oft the track at Twentieth and ‘Webster streots, and the lne was tied up for an hour and twenty minutes. A car waa also off for some time at Twenty enth and Lake streets, which tied up the line. The company has been putting in new ralls on the Sherman avenue line at Bevenjeenth and Burt and at Seventeenth e GoT TO Brains Nowadays or Drop Baclk, A The man of today no matter what his calling, noeds a sharp brain and to get this he needs food that not only gives musele and strength but brain and nerve power as well. A' carpenter and bullder of Marquette, Mich.; Who is energetic and wants to ad- ‘wance in his business read an article about food in & glous paper and in speaking of his exp ce he sald: “Up to thre years ago I had not been able to study or use.my tynking powers to any extent. There was something lacking and I know now, that it was due to the fact that my food was not rebulldiag my braln. “About this time I began the yse of the condensed f0od Grape-Nuts and the result has been I can think and plan with some succesy.

He' w and | box by the shock, although he was not in- and Webster streets. A call was sent to the police station by the night watchman asking for assistance. The street railway oficials were notified and put g force of men to work saving their property. A large number of tles and other material floated away on the flood and considerable damage resulted. It was a great day for the youngsters. A crowd of boys were swimming in the street at Twenty-fifth and Leavenworth and an- other bunch of them wefe taking a bath at Forty-first and Harney streets while the flood was at its helght. At the former place the water was about four feet deep in the street and the urchins were into it with their clothing on. The cause of the high water at that point was the clogging of the sewer pipes. At Thirteenth and Leavenworth, in the wholesale district, the cellars were all re- ported full 'of water and it is supposed that a large amount of damage will be che re- sult, although until an examination Is made no approximate of the total can be given. It will require several days to pump out the basements and get them Into thelr former shape. The basement of Kuenne's bakery and Thompson's market on Leavenworth street were reported almost full of water to the first floor, but as no very valuable goods were stored thereln it is estimated that the damage will be light. The base- ments of the new store buildings at the corner of Park avenue and Leavenworth were also reported almost full. Dam. Done to Streets. On Twentlieth and Twenty-first streets high banks caved down and covered the sidewalks with tons of earth. In some places several feet in depth. A washout In the middle of the street on Tyenty- seventh street, extending from Dupont to Walnut streets was reported. In some places it was from six to elght feet deep, making it very dangerous for teams to pass in the dark. The red light. men were busy, however, and lanterns were placed at all the bad washouts reported as rap- idly as possible. Washouts were reported at Twenty-ninth and Bhirley, Woolworth avenue, between Fifth and Sixth streets, teenth, Twenty-fifth opposite Mason street school. Reports of smaller washouts were coming into the police station almost all night, and red lights and assistance of one kind and another was being asked for. One resident near Twenty-third and tion that he wanted assistance, and was afraid to leave his house on account of asked how deep the water was and replled that he. thought it was about foot in depth, He was told to put on his rubber boots and wade out. | Lightning Does Little Hurt. Nefy littlc dimage was reported as a re- sulf of the Nghtning. The chimney was knooked off of the residence at 262 Seward street, but no one was injured. In- the police station: the electricity played along the railing in front of the desk sergeant and snapped off the iron points. - Beyond making the occupants of the office jump oceaslonally no damage was done. Patrol- men Ryan and Cusick were quite severely shocked when they were In the act of pulling In _their report in the patrol box. Rygn was ‘thrown completely out of the jured so but what he could remain on duty. The fire alarm bells all over the clty were rung several times by the elec- trical current. The one at the police sta- tion began ringing at 9:15 and kept it up for several minutes. - At the same time the station telephone got out of order as a result of the current and no Information could be obtained as to where the sup- posed fire was. The bell rang at intervals of a few minutes for almost an hour. Reports of small washouts and flooded basements kept coming into the station all the fore part of the night and during the evening at least 100 of them must have been recelved. They came from all parts of the city and did not seem to be con- fined to any one locality, although the lower sections suffered the most. A large lake formed under the Sixteenth street viaduct which made it bad for some of the residents in that locality. A few of them were forced to leave their dwellings during the hardest part of the storm, but the water soon subsided after the heaviest of the downpour was over and they re- turned to thelr homes. Several rections of sidewalk and considerable other loose lumber was washed into the lake which was formed, and when the water went down the material was left high and dry.

SEVERE STORM IN THE HILLS Glass Smashed by Hail and Railroad Tracks Washed Out by Water. DEADWOOD, 8. D., Aug. 26.—One of the most severe storms which has ever visited this section of the hills passed over the country between Lead and Whitewood at 5:20 this afternoon. Rain fell in torrents and hail was 8o severe that plate-glass win- dows over the city were smashed. Wash- outs occurred on the mountain division of the Northwestern and on the main line the train which should have left at 8 o'clock this evening, will not be able to get out before morning.

All the supporis were washed from under a culvert near Rosseau, leaving the tles and rails in place. Andrew P. Anderson, a rancher, living near the track, discovered this and walted on the track with a lighted Jantern to flag the train and had it not been for his watchfulness the train would probably have been in the ditch.

Clark a Conservative, ator, conservative views, but when Lentz opened a fight against Johnson on the senatorial nomination the Zimmerman men resumed thelr cbstructive tactics and Lentz for senator, thus driving the John- son men to the second ballot. After the arst ballot,” which ‘remiited: Clark, 285; Lents, 222; Salzgaber, 125; Baker, 11, and Russell, 4, the Johnson men made a ter- name Clark on the second ballot. The vote for Balzgaber represented the ultra- sllver men, who were porters of Johnson, but would support no man who had voted against Bryan. M. E. Ingalls of Cincin- nat! had been endorsed by the Hamlilton county delegation for senator and was and the unseated Hamiffon county dele- the convention. John H. Clark, who will canvass the state with Johnson and other democratic candldates, has been a prominent attorney at Youngstown for many years, but he is now located In Cleveland, which city has four prominent candidates, the republican as well as the democrats for senator and governor. ‘Wants to Debate with Hanna, Next to the commanding presence of Johnson was the part of Clark in the con- vention. He made two masterly speeches, one presenting the name of Johnson and the other in accepting the senatorial nom- ination. After the convention many dele- gates said his first speech nominated Clark as well as Johnson. In his second speech, Clark intimated that he would ask Sen- ator Hanna for joint debates during the campalgn and that caused a great demon- stration, Ex-Representative Frank B. Miles, the running mate for Johnson, is said to be a speaker who will largely contribute to the discussion of pending issues. With the single exception of the senatorial endorse- ment the Johnson men controlled the con- vention today as firmly as the district and committee meetings yesterday. The con- vention was as distinctly with Bryan on na- tional as well as with Johnson on state 1ssues. The result of the convention leaves the party organization 18 to 8 in the hands of the Bryan-Johnson element for next year's convention, when delegates to the demo- cratic national convention are to be se- lected. The convention was called to order by W. 6. Frey, chairman of the state commit- tee. After reviewing the work of the last campalgn Mr. Frey announced the tem- porary organisation and introduced G. M. Baltzguber as temporary chairman, who sald in part: We raised the banners which shall have fnscribed upon them 'War against tariff iniquities,” and republicans who love honor and justice will fight with us and for us.

Washington warnhed us that overgrown military estab- lishments are inauspicious to liberty under any form of government, and are to be re- flarded as particularly hostile to republican ; | liverty.

Greeted With Cheers. The majority report on credentials for | seating the Johnson delegates from Hamil- tles was greeted with cheers. Then followed the minority movement, which was considered their strongest case, and, & discussion followed. The majority report however, was adopted without motions oh the contests. J. H. Goeké of WapaKoneta, was then | elected and introduced as permanent chafr- man and addressed the convention. Minority and majority reports on rules and order of business weke made. General E. B. Finley, in suporting the minority report, declared there was danger of “Johngon being called as much of a boss as Hanna.” The majority report was adopted, 40 to 211. This was the first test on a roll call between the Johnson and the Zimmerman, men. The mafority . report on rules with provision for the endorsement of a can- didate for senator was then adopted, after which the committee on resolutions presented the platform, in part as follows; Kan City Platform Reafiirm Assembled in convention at Columbus, preparatory to the state elettion of 1903, we, the democrats of Ohio, reafirming the declaration of national issues of our plat- form of 1902, adopted at Sandusky, hereby renew our alleglance to the democratic party of the nation and agaln avow our devotion to the principles of its last na- tional platform. We accordingly condemn colonfalism and jmperialism, denounce trusts and trust fostering tariffs, repudiate government by injunction and oppose financial monopoly, together with every other legalized monop- oly and legalized privilege. Adhering to these prineiples of the Kan- sas City platform, we repeat our condemna- tion .of all efforis to renounce or ignore them. Refers to State iswues. While the platform contains more than 400 words, the above paragraphs are the only references to national issues. The people are asked to determine whether all state Interests are to be sacri- ficed for the re-election of Hanna as sen- ator. The platform continues: By embodying in the new Ohio code un- wise and unjust provisions for the regula- tion of street rallways, republican mag- ugers have rendered competition more dif- ficult and ftreet car monopoly more se- cure. By reserying to the governor the power to appolnt municipal officers in cer- tain cases they have dangerously concen- trated the police power and have compli- cated thelr meager concessions of home rule with tempting opportunities for inter- ference by the siate government in the local affairs of cities and villag A precedent has thus been set that would altogether nullify the principle of home rule. The platform concludes: Until_ United States senators are Te- | quired by amendment to the federal con- stitution to be elected by popular vote, nominations of candidates for United States senators should be made by state conven- tions. Willlam J. Bryan, by special resolution, vited to speak in Ohip in support of eclarations of principles.” Zimmerman Talks, SPRINGFIELD, O. Aug. 2.—John L. Zimmerman, the defeated candidate for the democratic gubernatorial nomination, gave out a statement tonight in which he says Tom L.
