LOSS OP lllE AXD PROPERTY
An Area of 200 Square Miles Affected by
kainand W in J - Many Fields
of Grain H ere IH.
struyed.
St. Louis. Sin., July 7. Thursdny
morning t-U-Kt':idiU- roports bi-r;in to
arrive in this olty of rains at western
points. These reports grew In number
Kriifciy anil covered u large territory In
dicating that the eastern water filed of
the Koi-ky Mountains, from the Ne
braska and Iowa lines to Texas, was
sw pt by a storm. Friday nlnht the
severest blow came. Reports of loss of
life and destruction of property came
with every telegram, and the down
pour which was at rlrt regarded as a
Westing, grew Into a wave of devasta
tion. Fields of grain that promised the
most bountiful yield In many ytura are
today swept bare- of vegetation. In
several Instances the seas of rain were
abetted In Choir work of destruction by
tornadoes. It Is too early yet to sum up
the loss, but the total must be appal
ling, and those to whom the angry ele
ments spared life have little left to sus
tain It.
The stories of the storm are so sim
ilar that a statistical summary is all
there Is left to tell.
The storm's focus embraced an area
of iOO square miles with 'the southwest
ern corner of .Missouri as the center.
The greatest lows of life Is reported
from Winona. Mo., where eleven corpses
have been found, with as many more
missing. At Baxter Springs In western
Kansas, five were killed and eleven se
riously Injured by a cyclone that ac
companied the storm. One was drowned
at Columbus and two at Ottawa, Kan
sas. At Van Buren, Arkansas, a wo
man and her child were drowned.
A Family Disappears.
A family of five were encamped an
the banks of Fish cretk Vn i;he Indian
territory. Yesterday nothing of them
nor their belongings was found except
a part of their wagon on a pile of drift
wood. At Thomasvllle. Mo., where the rain
fall was four Ir.ches in oce hour, five
lives were lost. .
L'neor.firmed reports are received as
ito loss of life as follows: Three at Fay
etteville. Ark.; one at Paoli. Kan.; one
at Richards. Kan., and six of a hunting
party In the Indian territory. This
gives a known and probable loss of
forty-three lives. This total will be in
creased when the receding waters per
mit a thorough search.
The above summaries gives only a
fraction of loss in property. The
greatest burden falls upon the farmers,
as the season Is too far spent to plant
new crops, and suffering must surely
follow in. the storm's wake. Details of
individual suffering and experiences re

damage was done to crops. '
Lake Geneva, Wis., July 7. Six per

legislative preponderance. On ithe con
trary, he asserted, the house of lords

vices. Continuing, the Marquis of Salisbury
asked what the lords had done to In
duce Lord Rosebery to submit a pro
posal which had not been heard within
parliament for 250 years. The house of
lords merely rejected the evicted ten
ants' bill, which h asserted, was Im
practicable In the shape presented.

bus Instituted legal proceedings agulust
Dr. Gilbert J. Palen, of Philadelphia,
a nei-hi w of the lute Jay Gould, for
broach of promise of marriage, claim
ing 15,000 damages. Is now at her par
ents' home, here, and today spoke un
reservedly of her case. Miss Thomp
son, who has Just entered upon her
twenty-lirwt year, Is a professional
nurse and enjoys the highest public es
teem here for tier charming personality.
"In the Hint place." said the pretty
nurse, "Dr. Palen did not attend me
professionally when 1 was 111 In Phila
delphia, as he has said ho did. Ir.
Palen was deeply interesay In my re
covery, and to my father tie Said that
we were engaged to be married, but
that he did not want his father to learn
of our engagement until after his
graduation.
"When I wasatihome, here. In March
last. Dr. Palen wrote to me, saying
that he was coining to see me; and on
March 8 lie did com?. My parents, be
ing aware of his coming and knowing
of our marriage engagement, naturally
accorded him a very hearty weloome.
'p to this time he had not told mo of
his relationship to the Gould family,
nor of his financial standing. These
facts, had I known of them, would have
had no influence whatever on me In
Inducing me to give him a favorable
answer to his proposal.
Doctor ttrofu l.ottcrs.
"After my return home for a brief
rest from my duties at the Philadel
phia Lying-in charity. I received almost
dully letters from Dr. Palen, each ex
pressive of the warmest sentiments.
"The tenor of my letter, which was
written to Dr. Palen after his marriage,
a brief extract of which his lawyer has
made public, has been grossly misrep
resented. "Aflter his marriage I wrote to him,
asking that he return my picture, and
Ironically congratulated him on his
marriage. 1 intended this expression
of felicity to be accepted In the light of
sarcasm, pure and simple, and in no
sense as Indicative of my heart's honest
desire. 'Dr. Palen has basely deceived
me."
Miss Thompson said the understand
ing between the doctor and herself
was thRt Immediately after he had com
pleted his studies abroad, 'they were to
be married.
Miss Thompson left tonight for Phila

all been examined and the deeds pre
pared for delivery upon his trip to
Georgia next Week.
Kx-Govemor Northen, of Georgia, Is

perfect the deal for the land. The

begun. The buying and selling will be
gin in the center of the tract, and the
subsequent purchases will 'be made
along the edge of the tract acquired.

are Interested In the colonization
scheme. The olid Drew farm, on which
Jefferson Davis was captured, lies three

RIOTERS HELD IN CHECK.
Lawless Italians In Jcffersonvllle May
et Mnnoy to Leave.
Jeffersonvllle, Ind., July 7. The Ital
ian laborers at Rockporl, Ind., are still
rioting. Yesterday they were piling
brush under the bridges and trestles
to burn ithem. Father Urundt, of St.
Henry's, has" partially quieted them by
promising them transportation to Chi
cago, and the citizens have petitioned
the county commissioners to make an
allowance of JG00, the amount necessary
to transport them.
The sheriff and citizen deputies are
rtll I on guard, ready to fire at any mo
ment. Should the county .refuse the
Italians transportation, serious trouble
Is sure to follow. The railroad con
tractors, who owe them money, have
fled. It looks as If the Chicago, Indian
apolis and Rockport road would not be
Completed.

New York, July 7. This city today
hud somewhat the upiieurance of a
Maine Prohibition town. There were
less saloons doing business than on
luHt Sunday. President Roosevelt had
convinced the saloonkeepers that there
would be no "bluff" In enforcing the
law, so most of them declOi-dmot to take
any nances. A few, however, kept
open today, but as im last Sunday, they
would not admit anyone unknown to
them. Heretofore, on Sundays, In the
ho-tel cafes small plutes of cheese and
crackers were placed on every table,
and any one who presented a respect
able appearance could take a seat, uud
by eutlng or pretending to eat some of
the cheese or crackers, could get what
ever they called for to drink. This
was changed today at all of 'the hotels.
Patrons were handed a menu and re
quired to order something to eat before
anything to drink was served to them.
The famous "tenderloin" district was
no exception to -the "dryness" prevail
ing in other parts of the city, and the
Howery was practically deserted.

JAIL BREAKERS FOILED.
Deputy Sheriff's Discovery of n .Msn on
the Roof.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 7. A daring at
tempt at Jail delivery was made here at
12.45 this murning. At that hour Deputy
Sheriff Mi-Mullen and Jailor Patterson
left the Jail for lunch. The Jail is sit
uated on-the corner of the public square
and Temple alley. As theofllcers emerged
from the Jail door Patterson hap
pened to glance toward the roof of the
annex and saw a man standing on the
roof. "What do you want there?" de
manded Deputy MoMullcn of the
stranger.
The man ducked his head, ns If ex
pecting a ehot from the offlcers. His
actions betrayed his character and Just
at the time the above query was pro
pounded, another man jumped from the
shadow of the annex and started on a
run. Taking in the situation the offi
cers opened lire on the fleeing man, but
the darkness shielded him and he made
his escape. Going to the roof of the an
nex, McMullen and Patterson found a
rope and a complete set of Jail break
ing tools which, but for the timely dis
covery, would have been effective in
opening the windows In the main jail
building, near that portion where the
three notorious Chicago diamond
thieves Kd Carney, Francis Emerson
and James Malone are confined. The
man discovered on the roof also made
his escape.
