Aw COL Sandon Residents Frepare to Leave as Danger Increases. Special Dispatch to The Call | VANCOUVER, B. U, June 6.—Kootenay end Cariboo districts are experiencing the | worst floods that the upper country has scen for years. So far no damage has| been done aiong the Fraser, but that riv-| er rose three feet last night at Quesnel,\‘ | J and if it s much higher the entire kly populated delta around Vancouver may be inundated i Yesterday two loggers who had tried to| cross a stream near Revelstoke were drowned and narrow escapes from bad accidents are reported from other towns | in Kootenay. The mountain streams are all its banks. The Canadian Pacific and | Kaslo and Slocan branches have been washed out In half a dozen places. | The greatest damage has been done at | Sandon. Sandon Creek has cut a chan- nel down Star Mine Guich that is fiteen feet below what has been the road level. The road is entirely washed out, the wa. ter having turned the roadbed into a| channel and cut out all culvert bridges and crib work. There was great danger of the stables and shacks that line the gulch being washed out, in which case a jam would have resulted. As it was the rallroad bridge had to be torn up at this point and everything cut out of the way | of the water. Carpenter Creek i also doing consider- able damage and occupants of the build- ings in one portion of Sandon are packed up ready to move at a moment’s notice. Last night the water overfiowed a flume and drove every one to the lower end the town. The electric power-house was flooded, part of the bullding carried away and the town left In total darkness. | . | wollen and every river is o\'erflowtns‘} | The water is dashing through a part of the town at the raie of half a mile a minute, carrying sawlogs and boulders weighing half a ton as if they were matches and pebbles. -— CITIE§ STILL UNDER WATER. Armourdale and Argentine Are Not Yet Habitable. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 6.—At dark to-night the water in the flooded district | was almost exactly where it was one | week ago. It is possible to wade about in all of the streets yet floo on the Mis- | side and by Monday all the water have fallen back to the channel. In Armourdale and Argentine, where the | flood was higher, much land is still in deep water. The reclaimed terriory is occupied by the former inhabitants. There is already a scarcity of labor. The railroads @re hiring every man obtainable | repair work and the factories and | packing houses will take back all their | old employe: At the stock yards the dead cattle and | for hogs are being hauled to the Kansas | River and thrown in, to drift down stream. It is not feasible to bury the carcasses. The dead animals probab will accumulate in drift heaps down the river. Oscar Blin of Lawrence, Kan., a line- man stringing telephone wires between the stock yards and Armourdale, was | drowned in Kansas River from a cap-| sized boat to-day. The drowning in Kan- | sas City, Kan., of Thomas Styles, aged | and an unknown Italian was reported to-night, swelling the list of dead to four- | teen. Styles was rescuing residents in the raflroad district and the Italian jumped into his boat, capsizing it. The number of persons in the relief corps on both sides of the river dimin- ishes steadily as the men return to work | and the families to their homes. WATER COVERS TRACKS. Flood Disturbs Train Schedule of Great Northern. KALISPELL, Mont., June 6.—The ex- treme high water at Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and also at Leonia is causing the Great Northern much trouble and neces- sitates the running of all trains west from Havre through Great Falls and to He- lena over the Northern Pacific to Spo- kane. Water over the tracks at the places named is from three to five feet deep. To-day two engines toppled over in the raging waters. People at Bonners Ferry are going around town in rowboats. From the present outlook the flood situ- ation will be bad for several weeks. The banks of the Kootenai River are caving in all along the rallroad line and no more trains may be had from the West over the regular route for two weeks. e Fosnale ‘Water Surrounds Missouri Town. LOUISIANA, Mo., June 6.—The Missis- sippi River has fallen fifteen inches in the past twenty-four hours, supposedly on account of the break opposite here in the Sny levee. The break is now 300 yards wide, having grown steadily from the start and it is believed that the excava- tion made there by the terrible force of the water is now fifty feet deep. Another break in the levees north of here is re- ported. This city is almost entirely cut off from communication with the world. —————— Articulate’s Great Record.

Victim's Body Is Cut and Hacked While Flames Consume It. BELLEVILLE, I, June 6—W. T. Wyatt, a negro school teacher, was burned to death by a mob here to-night for having shot and mor- tally wounded County Superintendent Charles Hertel of St. Clair County. Her- tel had refused to renew the teaching cer- {ificate of Wyatt and the negro went into his office and attacked him. Wyatt was immediately arrested and {aken to jail. Two hours later a mob stormed the jail, secured the negro, and, despite the appeals of the Mayor and other officials,-he was executed. Superintendent Hertel was removed to the hospital, where the physician who prcbed for the bullet says there is no chance for his recovery. A young man named Fiedler was in the office when the shooting occurred. He grappled with Wyatt, but the negro beat him off with the butt of his revolver, inflicting a severe scalp wound. The mob hanged Wyatt to a telephone pole in the public square. Even while his body was Jerking in the throes of death from strangulation members of the mob began building a fire at the foot of the pole. The flames flared up and licked at the feet of the victim, out this did not satisfy the mob, and another and larger fire was started. When it had been burn- ing briskly the negro, still alive, was cut down and after being covered with coal oil was thrust into the fire. Moans of pain were heard from the Yalf-dead victim of the mob and these served to further infuriate his torturers. They fell upon him with clubs and knives and cut and beat the burning body almost to pleces, and not until every sign of life had departed did they desist and permit the flames to devour the body. As the fire lighted up the scene the members of the mob stood about the fire, hurling more fagots of wood into the flames and denouncing the negro for the shooting. —— R —— Look!

According to Lecky (History of European Morals), the first hospital was founded by a Roman lady named Fa- biola, about the fourth century, at Rome. Soon after another hospital was founded by St. Pammachus, and another by St. Basil.at Caesarea. During the crusades numerous hospitals arose in all parts of Europe. San Spiritu, built by Innocent IIT, was erected in 1204 at Rome. The first hospital in England was built by Lafranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1080.

Some men are never poetic; others lose their poetic sense with the encroachment of years. At least that is the opinion of a matron now past middle life. “The only trouble with a man is that he loses the poetic side of his nature as the years roll by,” she remarked. “Now, only yes- terday my husband took on the far-away look. I must confess it recalled the de- lightful days when he put all his talents into telling me how charming I was and how all his life was wrapped up in me, saying it constantly and with as many enchanting varfations as even a woman could desire. For a long time I watched him in silence. Then at last, unable longer to bear the suspense, I softly asked: ‘What are you thinking about, dear? ‘I was wondering,’ he answered, ‘it I shouldn't be quite safe in leaving off my winter underwear.’ Now, wasn't that poetic! Yet that same iconoclastic man is brave enough to complain at times that I have changed.”—Chicago Inter- Ocean. e sissm—— ADVERTISEMENTS. CURES WEAK MEN FREE.

Harriman Interest Will Ac- cept Terms Prescribed by Commission. Special Dispatch to The Call. AUSTIN, Texas, June 6—It is an- nounced that the San Antonio and Aran- sas Pass Railway Company has until June 12 to give an answer to the Rallroad Commission as to whether it will ac- cept the terms of punishment which that tribunal has prescribed for its alleged violation of the law in having issued 31,- 700,000 of bonds illegally and being a par- allel and competing line with the Galves- ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio, a ma- jority of the stock of both roads being owned by the Southern Pacific Company. The penalties prescribed by the Rail- road Commission are as follows: The bonds to the amount of $1,700,000 which are alleged to have been issued without the authority or approval of the Rallroad Commission must be cancelled: the capital stock of the company must be reduced from $5,00,000 to $1.000,000, and the property of the company must be segre- gated from the Southern Pacific. It is understood that the Harriman in- terest will accept these terms, and that the proposed suit to forfeit the charter of the company and appoint a receiver will not be instituted. The Southern Pacific as the guarantor of the bonds of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Rallway will have to protect the holders of the issue of $1,700,000 which are required to be can- celled under the terms of the settlement of the case. —_————— When Griscom Laughed. A man with & wooden leg succeeded in inveigling a quarter out of Clement A. Griscom, head of the shipping trust. Mr. Griscom was generous, but not careless in giving alms. He told the cripple not to cross his path again unless he could prove satisfactorily that he was worth more thar. a auarter. In the course of a few days the man with the wooden leg again faced Mr. Griscom. A bed and a meal were the cripple’'s requirements this time, as stated in his appeal. “Can you show that you are worth more to-day than you were two days ago?’ asked Mr. Griscom sternly. “Yes, sir,”” said the man unhesitatingly, as he lmg forward his wooden ap- pendage. “Look at that leg.” “Is not that the same leg you had on the other day?”” questioned the magnate. It is, sir,” answered the cripple as he pulled a newspaper from his pocket, “but | by this paper you'll see as how the price | of lumber has gone up and made my leg more valuable.” Mr. Griscom has adopted a new rule for | of | | took effect, determining the increased beggars.—Boston Post. —_——— The One-Cent Era. A few seers of visions and dreamers of dreams predict that long before twenty-first century is ushered in l-cent fares only will be paid on all the local transportation lines, including the fer- ries. These iridescent optimists expect that no passenger in any car within the metropolitan territory, whether the car runs on elevated structures, on the sur- face or underground, wiil be required to pay more than a cent, and that every tunnel company under the water and every ferry corporation will be equally generous to its patrons. In that tims of peace and ease and comfort there will be no overcrowding, no “strap hangers” or “standees.”” Moreover, there will be 1- cent letter postage, cheap cabs in Man- hattan, penny ‘“‘shines” and no pushcarts, tramps or beggars in the streets. Auto- mobiles will be noiseless and harmless, and every policeman will be a model of decorum and dignity. There will be no dangers at street crossings, and the charges for telephone and telegraph mes- sages will be a penny apiece. Every mo- torman and every conductor will be a Beau Brummel. Even anthracite coal will be cheap. And just about that time the sky will fall and New Yorkers will feast on lark pies already cooked in the clouds.—New York Tribune. valuation the | FIRES SIX TIMES, BUT MISSES ALL THE SHOTS Poor Marksmanship Saves Life of Perry Hildred in a Quarrel. OAKLAND, June 6.—After firing six shots at Perry Hildred, none of which Richard Hughes was arrested and charged at the county jail to-night with assault with a deadly weapon. The shooting took place at the Dewey saloon on Stanford avenue In Emeryville at about $ o'clock, where the men had been drinking. No one seems to know just what cawded the trouble. Both men are horsemen and live in the vicinity, Hughes at the corner of Fifth street and Stanford avenue, and Hildred on Fifth street, near Powell After the shooting Hughes went home and disposed of his pistol. but was later arrested and identified by Hildred as his assailant.
