COXCONNULLY IS SWEPT AWAY

Raging and the Spokane and
Snake Rising.
A Town Washed Away.
Si'okakx, Wash., May 30. Concon
nully, Wash., was swept away at 8:50
a. m. by the. flood. Everything went
before it. It was a second Johnstown.
The business houses destroyed were:
H. Ilanis, blacksmith; D. E. Wilson,
merchandise; R. Hunter & Co., mer
chandise; A. W. Tullocb, drugs;. C. F.
Hane, hardware; L.. Under, livery
stable ; William Shufleldt, barber ; H.
W. Thompson, the Outlook. All of the
residences between the concentrator and
the town for a distance of a mile and a
half were also carried away. Mrs. Al-
. mira Keith loet her life. It is a great
wonder there were no more livc lost.
Aid is needed, as therewas nothing
saved by the people. "'
Conconnully is the chief -town of" the
Okanogan country. It has 700 people.
The nearest railroad and telegraph point
is Coulee City, 105 miles. distant. . The
flood was due to the rapid rise of Sal
mon creek, which raps through the
town. The disaster occurred : Sunday
morning. ' Saturday night the entire
Inlcnd Empire experienced a terrific
lightning and rain storm. ..It is be
lieved by the Okanogan men now here
that there was a cloudburst after the
high water from the melting shows, and
that this swept away . the dam at the
concentrator in the upper part of town.
Conditions of Kallroada.
Tacoma, May 30. Passengers who left
Spokane last Thursday night over the
Great Northern arrived here today, after
making four transfers and transporting
themselves 11 miles , by handcar. The
Northern Pacific main line trains are
running irregularly on account of wash
outs in Idaho and Montana. ' A special,
made up at Spokane, will arrive early
in the morning. The branches to
Seattle, Gray's Harbor and South Bend,
and the Portland line as far as the Col
umbia river are all right.
Th Spokane at a Standstill."
Spokane, Wash., May 30. The Spo
kane river rose an inch last night ; today
' it has been at a standstill. It is thought
that todays' hot weather may bring
another small rise, although - it ' is
believed the worst is over. The old
Denis and Bradley bridge went out this
morning, but did no material damage to
the bridges below.
The Boise and Payette Rivers.
'. Boise, Idaho, May 30. The Oregon
Short Line westward 'from Boise is
nearly blocked by washouts. The Boise
and Payette rivers are higher than ever
known. Several county bridges have
gone out and there is much damage , to
other yroperty.' ';
Iet TV 1th Terrible Deaths. ; ' :
Marshfiei.d, Wis., May 29. The
worst wreck that has ever occurred Cm
the Wisconsin Central, by which at least
six persons lost their lives and several
were wounded, ; some, seriously, took
place this morning. ' No. 4. passenger
train", with Engineer James Hubbard at
the throttle, pulled away from Abbotts
ford 20 minutes behind time. Just as
the engine reached the upper switch at
t Manville, and ' while ' running down
'grade at terrific speed it jumped from
the main track to the sidetrack, and
rolling down a slight embankmentwitb
the tender on ' top, turned bottom - up.
Two sleeepers. one coach besides the
smoker and bagage," five in all, began
burning immediately, and all but one
was destroyed. Engineer Hubbard was
found lying at the edge of his cab so
.terribly scalded by escaping steam that
he died in about 10 minutes. : Fireman
Bearhart was dead by the engine when
: found, being scalded to death.. Jason
Bigelow, the head brakeman, . was not
found for about eight hours, his remains
Highest of all in' Leavening Power.
lying under the debris close to the en
gine. The flesh was burned off his face
presenting a horrible appearance. The
flesh of both arras was literally burned
off, exposing the bones, and both legs
were burned off. W. B. Russell, the as
sistant to Chief Engineer L. M. Gibson,
was burned beyond recognition. His
remains were sent to Milwaukee for
burial. Mrs. John Wagner, an elderly
lady en route from Butte, Mont., to
Manitou, was dreadfully disfigured, her
face and body being terribly cut and
bruised. She died almost instantly.
The news agent, Oliver Boseley, suffered
excrucating pains and died at 10 o'clock.
He was crushed under a coach. . Henry
Klieber received internal -and external
wounds, probably fatal. " The. others in
jured are: . .
Charles Wienburg, a traveling man, of
Chippewa Falls, badly , bruised ; Fred
Jack, of Bessemer, Mich., badly bruised ;
Arthur. Tunica, of Chicago, head cut and
leg sprained; Wm. Ryan, of . Sturgeon
Bay, Wis., several ribs, broken and bead
badly cut,
The cause of the accident is hard to
determine. 8ome think it was ' from a
weakness in the track, while others,
railroad men, are inclined to believe the
switch had been tampered with.

A BAD PLACE FOR WIDOWS.
In India They Are Treated as' It They
Were Outcasts.
The practice of treating widows as
quasi-criminals, outcasts or slaves is
among Hindus of high antiquity. It is
probably a substitute for a still older
custom once universal among the con
quering tribes of the Asiatic world,
slaying the wives of chieftains on the
burial places of their lords.
As manners grew milder and men less
desperate, and new religious ideas
were born, that practice was abolished
and widows were permitted to live,'
but only as persons whose right to
survive must be regarded as imperfect.
Their position becaiue that of house
hold ' slaves, or, rather, family out
easts, entitled to no honor, bound to
servile offices, dressed in the meanest
clothes, fed with the cheapest food
and regarded by friends as persons who
oug'ht to consider themselves incurably
degraded. Had not the very geds
themselves, or the fates, pronounced
them deserving of heavy suffering?
Of course, natural laws ajce not
wholly suspended even by supersti
tion, and thousands of widows pro
tected by personal affection, or their
own abilities, or by their welth for
widowhood does not cancel rights of
property lead decently happy and
contented lives. The majority, how
ever, suffer under the ban typified- by
the shaving of their heads, that is,
they are regarded till death as fallen
from all title to respect.and are treated
with a habitual indignity which, even
when they are exempt from actual op
pression, makes the position of unof
fending women no better than that of
slaves or convicts. .-
So severe is their lot that it excites
pity even among .those who believe
that it is sanctioned by religion, and it
would probably have been ameliorated
long since but that it fits in with one
of the principal Hindu arrangements
that of early marriage.

OLD BURIAL CUSTOMS.
The Way Fnnerals Are Conducted k
Different Races.
The Mohammedans always, whether
In their own country or one of adop
tion, bury without eoffin or casket of
any kind.
The Greeks sometimes buried their
dead in the ground, but more generally
cremated them, in ' . imitation of the
Romans.
In India, up to within the last fer
years, either according to lier wishes or
otherwise, was cremated on the same
funeral pyre that converted her hus
barul'o remains into ashes
When i :hild dies in Greenland, says
the rhi.nyo Mail, the natives bury a
live doir with it, the dojr to be used by
the chiid :us a guide to the other world.
When questioned in regard to this pe
culiar superstition, they will answer.'
"A dog can Cud his way anywhere."
.The natives of Australia tie the hand
of their dead together and pull out the
nails; this is for fear that the corpse
may SL-ratch its way out of the grave
and become a vampire.
The primitive Russians place a certifi-.
cate t i character in the dead person's
Junius, which is to be given to St. Peter
at tho ppitos of Heaven.
, Limits on Natural Vision.
The limit of natural ' vision varies
with elevation, condition of the atmos
phere, intensity of illumination and
other madifyin,f elements. On a clear
day an object one foot above a level
plain truiy be seen at a distance of LSI
miles; one 10 feet in height, 4.15 miles;
one 20 feet high, 5.80 miles; one 100 feet
high; l:(.l miles; one a mile high (as the
top of a mountain), 05.23 miles. This
allows 7 inches, or to be more exact, 0.99
inches to the mile for the curvature of
the earth, and assumes that tK&size
and illumination of the object is snSi
cient to produce an image. .
