The trains from the west had been delayed from 3 to 20 hours by washouts in lowa. Several crack limiteds from the coast came in early today nearly a full day late. The downpour, the first of any consequence since early July, provided 1 a godsend to Illinois’ parched corn 1 crop. But to lowa farmers it brought , serious losses. Thousands of acres w'ere inundated in central and eastern lowa as numerous small streams, swollen by a near cloudburst, left left their banks. Shocked oats were washed away and farm machinery was carried off by the madly rushing waters. In Chicago, the rainfall measured 3.5 inches. Basements were flooded in numerous sections. A fireman, Michael Donovan, was probably fatally injured when a hook and ladder truck, answering an alarm, skidded, broke its tiller and threw him 40 feet.

The eruption from the northeast cone of the volcano continued today, pouring out abundant showers of small, fragments of lava and the thickest smoke. 0 Worth Remembering Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.—Holmes.

El Paso, Texas, Aug. 3. — (U.R) — Warm weather and proximity to judges are given by Judge W. D. Howe as the cause for so many divorces. "In hot weather it is easy for husbands and wives to get irritable and peeved at one another,” Judge Howe said. “They have a fuss and think it is , much worse than it is. One runs to a lawyer and brings suit for divorce. "The parties get into court while . the quarrel is still fresh in their [. minds and they say unkind things. .. Their grievances become fixed in ? their minds through telling about it , and it is impossible to get them tot gether again. "If no judges were available during I hot weather, many of the quarrels . would be patched up and forgotten." I . — ———-oL—“ 1 ■ “MASSACRE” IS THREATENED IN STATE REPORT f , (CONTINUED FROM PAUS ONE) here.” The rioting occurred June 28.

PEACE REIGNS ATLEAVENWORTH Order Is Restored As Prisoners Are Held In Their Cells Leavenworth, Kas., Aug. 3.—(U.R}— Peace reigned at battle-scarred l*euKenworth federal penitentiary today after a hectic 36-hour rebellion among the inmates. Order finally was restored when the prisoners, confined to their cells since Thursday’s seven-hour riot was quelled by guards’ guns, promised to behave and were led forth for their first meal since the trouble began. Arrangements were made to pipe drinking water Into the cell houses which had been waterless since the mutinous prisoners broke the mains. The lid of secrecy, surrounding all activities at the prison, was clamped tight. Telephone operators were under orders not to ring either the warden's office or home. Officials would add nothing to their statement that “all is quiet" except, that “and information regarding prison affairs will be given out in Washington.” Austin H. MacCormick, newly appointed superintendent of federal penitentiaries, is expected here tonig'ht to make a study of the conditions believed responsible for the insurrection in whiep one convict was killed, three were seriously injured and 20 sprayed by buckshot. H O Soldiers Mustered Out Mexico City, Aug. 3. —JJ.R)—Twentythree thousand Agrarian soldiers, enrolled for service when the March revolution broke out, have been mustered out of the ranks, it was announced by the war office today.
