A cloud burst occurred on Morning creek, two miles east of Durkee, about 5 o'clock last evening, which did considerable damage to growing crops in the creek bottom, and washed out one of the city bridges, and covered the 0. R. & N. railroad with debris for a distance of 4000 feet. ' No damage was done to the tracks, but the mudi and gravel carried down by the flooi piled up on the track to such an extent that the westbound train was delayed for about three hours while the track was being cleared. Fortunately there were no farm houses lnthe track of the flood, hence no lives were lost.

Mention of the ex-President's Name the Signal for an Outburst of Applause in the St. Louis Convention. St. Louis, Mo., July 6. The Demo cratic national convention to -name the party's choice for President and vice-president of the United States was called' to order In the Coliseum shortly after the noon hour today by Chairman Jones of the national com mittee, and organized. The opening session was taken up with the ad dress of the temporary chairman, and the announcement of committees, including platform. The climax of the nominations will not be reached until the third day, and perhaps later. Though the official hour for con vening was 12 o'clock It was fully two hours before that time that the doors of the huge auditorium wore thrown open and thousands of seat began to flit with spectators. The arrange ments were such that delegates and spectators were rapidly admitted, and though Sorgeatatrafcarms Martin and his numerous assistants were kept busy there were few signs of dis order or confusion. The interior of the Coll3eumi presented an attractive spectacle. The decorations of flags and bunting were tasteful rather than elaborate. Flags of immense propor tions were suspended from the girders of the roof and1 yards and yards of red, white and bluo bunting arranged la festoons hung from' the galleries and about the speaker's- platform. At tho rear of the platformi were large portraUsi of Jefferson and other fa mou'3 leaders of tho Democratic party. By il o'clock the convention hall and the street outside were ra' a hurrybnrJy of noise and confusion. Delegations were arriving, many of them accompanied by bands of music, cheers' were heard as the notable par ty leaders were recognized among tho arrivals, and the stanch, partisans of the Beveral candidates' were adding their pampalgn yells to tho general uproar; Huge megaphones made of paper emitted1 a deafening shouts for Parker, Hearst, Gorman and others. The riot of noise reached its climax when the' marching clubs began to fllo Into the conventloa hall at the east dpor and' take their seats in tho space allotted them1 in the rear of the arena.' Conspicuous among these dele gations of "rooters" were the 1000 Tammany braves from New York, the Cook county Marching club of Chi cago, the Jackson club of Washington, and1 the Erie club of Buffalo. Other cltle3 represented among the march ing clubs were Indianapolis, Cincin nati, Omaha, Cleveland, Philadel phia and Pittsburgh. The delegates, alternates and dis tinguished visitors entered1 the 'nail through tho Fourteenth, street en trance, whllo the spectators were ad mitted through' the Olive street, St. Charles street and Thirteenth street doors. Throughout tho time that elapsed between the opening of tho doors, and that set for tho formal opening of -the convention, the band rendered a succession of pieces of patriotic music, alternated with popu lar airs of the day. As early as 11 o'clock tho delegates began to arrive. They came, some times in. a solid delegation, and after passing the doorkeepers wero received by the sergeant-at-arms and escorted to their seats. The sections of seats allotted! to the various delegations were indicated by artistic standards bearing tho name of tho state or ter ritory. When the leaders of national promi nence , began to arrive they wero greeted with volley after volley of ap plause, and finally as the hour of 12 approached, tho applauso becanip as continuous uproar of shouting an hand-clapping. One of tho first to ro celvo a greotlng was John Sharp "Wil liams of Mississippi, who took a Boat on tho platformi by tho side of Chair man Jones of tho national committee. Tho appearance of Senator Gorman off Maryland was the signal for a groat outburst of enthusiasm, and a similar ovation marked! the arrival of DaTldt B. Hill, tho recognized manngor oC tho Parker candidacy. Thomas Tag gart of Indiana, who is prominently spoken of as the next chairman of t& national committee, was recolvS with cheers from tho Indiana visiters; and others who recognized his smlltHR countenance As William Jennlng Bryan entered? the hall at tho head of thoNorbaak delegation, there was an outburst t enthusiasm that plainly showod fc Is still regarded as an influencing: factor in national polities'.
