INDIAN CREEK IS ALMOST BANK FULL
oath Mala Street t Also Impassable
Owing to Inabllltr of Sewers
to Carry Off the Storm
Water.
Although Indian creek failed to overflow
It banks during the rainstorm last night,
Broadway was turned into a veritable sea
of water and mud, which poured down from
the hill streets. At o'clock Indian creek
was within a few inches of breaking over
tha banks, and at the Northwestern rail
road tracks less than an inch further rise
would have sent the water out onto Broad
way. The surface water, carrying with It largo
quantities of yellow dirt from the side
streets, swept down Broadway, choking tha
sewers, and from North Eighth street to
the Illinois Central railroad tracks the
street was practically impassable, as tha
water almost reached from curb to curb,
Just east of the Northweptorn tracks the
water rose over the sidewalk and was with
in a few inches of entering the cellars cf
the buildings on the north side of the
street.
The water obtained such a depth in the
Vicinity of the Illinois Central and North
western tracks on Broadway that the mo
tor car service was seriously Impeded for
a time.
On South Main street in the vicinity of
Tenth avenue, wl'ere the sewers are of
Insufficient capacity to carry oft the storm
water ,the thoroughfare presented the ap-peara:n-e
of a regular millrn.ee and for over
an hour cars were stalled on each sldo
of the flooded area.
The sowers on Bouth. First street also
proved insufficient to carry off the surface
water and In consequence the street was
flooded for a considerable time during the
heaviest part of the storm. The cars of
the Palrmount park line were stalled and
the service on the Fifth avenue line was
In consequence seriously Interfered with.
The rainstorm was the severest Council

During the storm last night lightning
struck the residence of Jacob Butler, at
W23 Third avenue, demolishing a cook

ing a big rent in the parlor carpet. The
lightning, which seemed to play around
the building for several seconds, started

Edstrom, is, according to his own testi
mony, on. of the law men who carry their
hearts on the right side of their bodies.

since the assault his heart had been affected
as a result. Jacobs In corroboration of his
testimony placed his hand over his right
breast.
"Are you certain that your heart Is on
that side of your body?" was asked him by
the court, and Jacobs' reply was, "Well, I
ought to know where my heart is, and I
know also that Edstrom hit me directly

of the court, persisted In maintaining that
his heart was located on his right side.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, July 28. (Special.) The
republican state committee held a session
here today for the purpose of making the
preliminary arrangements for the state
campaign next ' fall. It was decided that
the speaking campaign shall not commence
until some time in September and that it
will be short and spirited. Oovernor Cum
mins desires to be absent for a vacation
nearly all of August and la declining all
invitations for that month. Others of the
candidates deslr. that th. campaign shall
b. lat. to avoid th. extra efforts of a pro
longed campaign. The committee has se
cured the same rooms as were used last
year and the method of procedure will be
substantially tha same as In the past. The
campaign Is to be In the hands of an exec
utive committee and a finance committee
and they will direct th. whole course of
affairs. The members of the committee
present today were Chairman Spence, S.
X. Way, George C. Bcott, W. W. Epps,
George Estabrook, J. G. Hempel, Charles
Wilson and Charles E. Phillips. Tha gov
ernor and other candidates were also pres
ent. The committee is harmonious and the
work will be conducted without friction.
All members reported that conditions In th.
state Indicate a normal republican majority
and there is nothing to call for any un
usual efforts on the part of th. committee
or the candidates.
Got on the Wrong; Car.
There was consternation on a Minneapo
lis & St. Louis train last night, or early
this morning, as it came from Fort Dudge.
Two young women, Misses Luella Cotter
and Olive Arthur, were on the sleeper from
Minneapolis bound for Omaha. In soma
way they got into the Des Moines sleeper
and were there when the Omaha sleeper
was switched off at Fort Dodge to be taken
on the Illinois Central train to go on to
Omaha. The young women made the dis
covery near Kalo that they had been
separated from the major portion of their
wardrobe and their tickets and grips, and
that while thoy were on the way to Des
Moines their clothes were on the rlgiit car
and headed for Omaha. They induced the
conductor to take the train back to Fort
Dodge and get the young women on the
right car, which was not without a good
deal of embarrassment to th. young wo
men. Cunningham Case Postponed.
The trial of Newburn for the alleged at
tempt on the life ot James Cunningham
was this morning set for August 2 in the
Justice court. H. F. Cunningham, a brother
of th. injured man, arrived in the city to
day from Mollne, Kan., and Is assisting In
ferreting out tha mystery surrounding the
case. It Is now thought possible that
Cunningham will' recover sufficiently so
that ho can tell his story ot the accident or
crime.

Compulsory Education of Deat.
Superintendent H. W. Rothert of the State
School for the Deaf at Council Bluffs recom
mends in his biennial report, Just received
by the board of control, that education for
tho deaf be made compulsory. He points,
out that education Is far more essential to
deaf persons than to those of normal senses
and that their education is a matter of
economy to the state, for only .through edu
cation can they be made self-sustaining
citizens who will be of benefit to the com
munity. Mr. Rothert urges that tho law
for compulsory education be amended so as
to Include the deaf. He recommends a num
ber of new and much needed buildings at
the deaf school, Including a new adminis
tration building, a dormitory for boys and
one for girls, a small pupils' cottage, a
hospital, a kitchen and dining rooms, a
chapel and a library building. These are
nearly all to take th. plac. of the buildings
burned.

TWO YOUNG JEN ARE SHOT
Midnight Frolle at Atlantic, Iowa,
May Result In n Double
Tragedy,
ATLANTIC, la., July 28. (Special Tele
gram.) As the result of a shooting scrape
i two ot Atlantic s well known young men
are perhaps fatally wounded, while a vis
itor from Adair and an Atlantic man and
, his wife are under arrest and confined In
the county Jull to await further develop
ments.
George Sines of Adair, son of S. G. Sines,
a well known and respected business man,
arrived In th. city yesterday.
In his trips around the saloons he fell In
with Isaac Allen and Jack Maher. He
asked them It they knew of a sporting
house. They, according to his sworq
statement made to th. county attorney,
escorted him to th. twain, of H. W. Acklaa.
Sines says he and on. of the boys waited In
th. yard while the other went In to see if
they could be entertained.
Mr. Acklcs thn appeared upon the scene.
Sines then made his escape retreating to
the Pullman hotel, where he was later
found and arrested. After the appearance
of Acklcs the stories of the parties differ.
Ackles and his wife Insist that the boys
attacked him and he fought only In self-
defense, while the boys claim ho drew a
revolver and opened th. fight without
provocation. Maher has three bullet holes
In his chest and Allen has on. In his ab
domen.
The trouble arose about midnight and on
tho arrival of the officers and the physi
cians the two wounded boys were found to
b. in a very critical condition and it Is
feared that neither of them will live.
The two vtctlm,s will not talk, In fact
cannot, though Ackles and his wife put
on a bold front and seem to hav. no fears
for the result.
The county attorney Is bound to sift th.
affair to the bottom and some sensational
features are sure to develop.

To Whom It May Concern:
At the Invitation of The " FORCE " Food Com
pany, of Buffalo, I hare visited their Mills and made
a caroful examination of th. materials from which
"FORCE" Is prepared, and the processes which
eouvert It Into Its finished condition.
I found that " FORCE " consists exclusively of
what my previous analysis indicated, viz.: Whole
Wheat and Barley, with a flavoring of Table Salt,
flaked, cooked and sterilized by 800 degrees of heat.
A feature of the manufacture which impressed me
considerably was the fact that the process Is entirely
mechanical, the food being prepared, cooked and
boxed by machinery, without ever coming In contact
with th. hands or clothing of the mill operatives.
I was also gratified to note that an experienced
Chemist dally supervised the entire output, and that
each day's manufacture was also tested by an expert
cook.
