Continue its journey.
Fermiles at a stretch the watercame up
to the tracks and flooded over them. No
rock bedding could have lasted a minute
before 'he rush of water. Houaca with
the water half up to their windows were
passed and entire cornfields, fences and
roads were submerge d Families with
s-acns full of household furniture
rose from the flood stood stranded in
the tind on the highest points or the roada
as tie President 'a train passed by.
At every dangerous point the Presi
dent s consent was asked before the trip
was Continued, Despite the precautions
of the railroad officials and their asaur
aires thai there was no danger it was the
most thrilling ride the President has ever
fcd in the hundred thousand miles of his
travelling about the country since he has
been in the White House.
The deluge came when the President's
tram was at Atchison. Kan. He was
routed to Omaha via the Missouri Pacific
a long the west bank of the Missouri Kiver.
In a few minutes word was flashed to the
train (hat communication was cut off in
thai direction and the wires were heated
up in an effort to find another route.
The Burlington tracks on the cast side
of the river wore swept away, ao they
thought the Wabash to the north might
he reached and Omaha made by a long de
tour. There are three roads connecting
with the Wahaah, the Burlington, the
lireat Western and the Kock Island.
One by one the connecting roads tele
graphed that they were helpless. Then
news came that the flood had washed out
the tracks of tho Wabash. This de
stroyed all hope of reaching Omaha by a
rl rect route, and it was determined to
head for St. Joseph. Mo . along the east
de of the river and attemnt to find some ,
outlet from that citv to Omaha, thouah ',
rn railroad man had anv substantial hope
that a way could be found.
Ihe pilot train that the Missouri Pacific
operates ahead of the President's train
a- sent out on this route an! the Taft
t-pcrinl followed a block Irehind A cleared
Mock was given the pilot engine and there
was another block cleared behind the
Tafl special so that the President was
protected with three clear block. Switch- :
men were Stationed at every switch alone

About si x Miles north of Atchison is

which ia low. flat and partially marsh

had rushed and eaten away the ledding.
Ahout a mile north of Rushville the land
gave away entirely lieneath the tracks i
lust as the pilot train passed over. They
Ir.ed to cross back to intercept the Taft 1
special, but it was impossible. So theyl
telegraphed the despatcher al Rushvilie
and he caught the news just lwfore the
headlight on the Taft special came into I
sight.
By that time the torrent had weakened ,
the tracks behind the train so badly that
i' was not safe to attempt to return to
Atchison. The Tafl special was ma
rooned, and though the railroad men iiad
t'imed heaven and earth they c mid not i
move it. Tho pilot train rati on to St j
loseph and work was at once begun i
to patch up the tracks But it was II

All this -time the President and all
in his car were asleep. The worry wis
confined to tho day coach attached to the

With a mighty rueful face Mr De Ber

washed awav and the torrent flowed over i
MX track so swiftly that it was impossible
tn fill in temtorary bedding,
A work train waa made up and sent
ahead to the flooded track. In an hour a
trestle hud been built beneath the track,
Working in water that staggered them
from their feet with
ila swift rush, the i
"Ctlon men placed huge rocks and oriM
crossed ties for a trestle. The rails wore
set on this Then the heaviest engine
in the yards at Falls City was taken out
and two cars hitched to it. This train
was run over the tracka to toat them. The
trip waa aafely made and the word sent
b( It to the President's oar that the
jouiney could le made with aafoty,
though the situation was carefully ei
plained to him and his consent was re
quested lief ore it was attempted.
For miles the train ran through a ri-er.
The track had lieen jacked tip above the
level of the water but the flood was rising
and buried the rails before the train was
across ihe lowland. The torrent swept
through the rocks and ties and s?stnd
at any minuto to threaten tho liaatily
made trestle. Mr. Taft atood on the rear
platform the whole way across. At every
door of the Proaidential train the pas
sengers hung out to watch tho slow prog
ress. At one place where the water was
rushing a foot over tho tracks the train
came practically to a stop. It brought
cold shivers to the tracks of many aboard
the train to see the wheels halt and tho
wator surge about Ihem. Tho engineer
stuck to k snail's pace all the way across.
Finally higher land was reached and tho
train picked up time to Verdoo. Neb.
t Verdon the Tafl apecial was halted
op pool to 1 1 stranded show train packed
tuafdj with showgirls, and the
stress of the tnp through ihe flood waa
broken like a bubble when tho girls were
sighted. The dignity of the "immediate
party" was shattered like glass.
The Preaident oat on Ihe rear platform
ar.ri laughed at the girls. When the
President's train pulled out one girl ran
after and shouted for the Preoident to
throw her his hat for a souvenir. She
ran until she struck a big puddle of mud
and unset in the middle of it.
The Presidential train pulled into
Omaha at 7 o'clock. It was due hero at
'hli morning. The programme for to
,,a' wa destroyer! of course and all that
Otnaha wiH see of Mr. Taft will be at an
automobile ride to-morrow morning.
The President was to have spoken at the
Auditorium on international peace. He
went directly to the Omaha Club for
dinner and then to bed. He leaves to

NEW THOUGHT CRIME HUNTING

Interrupted by Lone Krrpllp in Ihe
(iallery Who Would Ukr tn Wee the
Professor Kllnrlf old eel Voir nf Inn.
nrienoe From Moat of Audience.
When Dr Alexander J. Mclvor-Tyndall. .
preaident of tho Progressive New Thought
I Society, had finished admitting last night
that disembodied apirita might well lie
' interested In prlceflghts and baseball
games if their tastes ran to thoae things
before they passed over and that the
contention of Heaven with nianos in it
waa not at all ridiculous, he invited eight
men and women to mount Ihe alage of
Carnegie Lyceum to help him and to judge
him as he experimented with his sublimi
nal self.
Six young men who were sitting in
different parts of tho hall hopped up as
one and climbed to the stage. A girl in
a black and white sltpon coat and a brown
felt hat followed Ihem and a young woman
New Thought who was hat less and coat
less followed her.
Now if one of the committee would be
so good as to blindfold him -in an ante
room while another tapped somebody in
the audience some woman the Doctor
would descend from the platform blind
folded and if everybody would kindly
think hard of tlio woman who had been
tapped, the Doctor would go to her and
tap her too
They did jusl aa Ihe Doctor asked them
to. When the young man who had
touched tho left shoulder of a woman on
the centre aisle took the Doctor's hand to
make the thought transference more com
plete the psychic gentleman winced as
if he had touched a live wire and whirled
right about face. Then he crept down the
aisle and waved his right hand until it
fell softly on the shoulder of just the
right woman.
The New Thoughts clapped. They
wereatill Isstter pleased when the perform
ance was repelled 0X00 pt that this time
the Doctor hunted for and found a pin
that had been stuck in a fichu around
another woman's hat. She als i h id a
seat on the centre aisle.
Then Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall demonstrated
how man who could read other )ersons'
thoughts could lie a great detective. A
member of the committee went through
the motions of cutting another member's
throat with a penknife and hiding the
body and the knife. Out of the anteroom
came tho doctor, blindfolded this time
with a black cloth instead of a red one.
Ho roamed the stage and Ihe hall and the
net result was the finding of one murderer,
one corpse and one penknife and tho
pantomimic reproduction of tho murder.
"Oood. good." from tho Now Thoughts.
Tho doctor was going right ahead to name
throe hidden playing cards that he hadn't
seen when there arose a young man in
tho front row of the gallery who said:
"Doctor, I don't doubt your honesty
or tho honesty of the committee of course,
hut I've travelled a good deal and I've
just been talking to some frienda up hero
and we don't see why you shouldn't come
up here to lie blindfolded. Is that asking
too much?"
"Why whv. certainlr not." replied
Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall. pulling the handker
chief from his face.
"That committee is honorable rou can
toll it by their faces," cried a gray haired
man in the gallery. "Let the demonstra
tion go on." And a woman on the main
floor said the sceptic who had spoken
had not expressed the sentiment of the
audience at all. She tslieved in Ihe
doctor, she did. She made, seconded and
put a motion that the audience deemed
the doctor incapable of faking and that
he could be blindfolded anywhere he
chose to be, A division of sentiment
was expressed bv upraised hands ll was
finally agreed that the travelled sceptic
should take a seat on the stage anrl set!
what he could see
Whereupon up spake New Thought
lady who was clad in a gray sweater and
earrings. Said she:
"I have perfect confidence in vour
methods and there's no peekhole back
of the stage where you go to lie blind
folded, is there
The doubter, who had leached thel"f Tripoli on Saturday afternoon, and
platform by this lime, begged every
body s pardon. nut. said he, "I am
now 37 years old. and I have been inter
ested iii spiritualism since I was It.
I have known John Slater and other
mediums in fact. I've had so much to
do with those people that my family
think I'm bughouse. I honestly want
to le convinced. If any one objects to
my presence here I'll "go back to the
gallery."
"No. you're all right." sang out a New
Thought or maybe he wasn't one.
So Doubting Thomas blindfolded the
doctor himself and the dictor proceeded
to find the three hidden cards and an
nounce what cards they were, just as he
had promised There was a little em
barrassment though, been us., whenever
he was "warm" the woman in the gray
sweater shouted "Ooodi very loudly
and clapped her hands.
Last of all the dootor tried to declare
tho number of a watch which he had not
seen, but after puzzling and puzzling
as he stood there with eyes bandaged, he
said:
"Some one must be working against me
I can't get the impression, though for a
second T thought I had it. 1 am very
tired. Our next meeting will Ue - "
The sceptic grinned.
Part of what the doctor said in the
lecture that preceded the demonstration
waa that bad people are not transformed
into angels of go
Kiodness when they pass;

over and that "toe liar is telling Ihe truth
tho best he knows how." -He also said
that once he had a newspaper friend who
in turn had a friend who died of drink
A I -I . . I I , 1 1

kept trying to persuade the newspaper
man to drink and drink until at last the
newspaper man not only freed himself
from the temptation, "but also freed the
enslaved one on Ihe olher side."

Would have any result.

A monoplane was sent to the seat of

Homk. Oct, I. Patriotism perhaps is
responsible for the prevarication of the
Roman press which announced this morn
ing a long series of naval victories which
surprised even the moot excited popular
imagination The Italians, however, ac
cepted the "news" as matter of fact and
with true Italian pride.
Since the Tripoli to Malta cable is in
the hands of the Italians reliable informa
tion as to events on the North African
coast is lacking. The only positive facta
are that the Turks have changed tactics,
abandoned Tripoli and departed into the
interior, where they intend lo remain
pending the arrival of reenforcements.
and that the Italians are now occupying
Tripoli.
The Italians who have landed are al
ready showing anxiety lest the Turks
swoop down upon them.
To date the Italians have sunk four
Turkish cruisers and five destroyers, in

Men's $5.00 Derbies at Saks'
at $1.95
A remarkable sale beginning today.
J This is a sporting proposition of five to two on the Derby, and we
first propose to tell you how it came to a head.
t We bought the bodies of these hats from the largest manufacturing
retailer of 5.00 hats in this country. And we bought them at a bar
gain, just because they happened to run a little lighter than the regula
tion run of hats produced by this particular maker.
J Now, nothing is too light for us in a Derby hat. We are eternally
looking to devise ways and means of lightening men's cranial burdens,
and the lighter the Derby the happier are we. It struck us as a singular
circumstance, therefore, that a manufacturer should practically pay us
to take the very thing we are always looking fori
J Well, Sir, to cut the story short, we have blocked these 5.00 Derbies
in seven of the smartest models and by smartest we mean those exclu
sive shapes which fulfill the requirements of style, without the freakish
tendencies of most so-called good hat styles.
J Finally, we have marked these 5.00 hats at . 95, just because they
are not so heavy as tbej were intended to be! Which, by the way, is a
classic in the humor of hatdom. In all, there are 1,500 of these hats.
Not a flaw or an imperfection in one of them. And every single hat
in the lot looks just as much like five dollars as it is physically possible
for a Derby hat to look.

Charles Stewart Pamell, here to-day
brought forth a great demonstration
There were forty special trains bringing
crowds from the north and west of Ire

in tho south the southern Nationalists
were unable to reach the city in large num-

"We stand at the juncture of two eras
of Irish history," said the speaker. "Much
of Paine Us work has borne fruit. The
Irish struggle for home rule has already
advanced beyond the stage at which
Pamell left it. Part of the work of the
present leexdera has been to break up
the power of the House of Lords, which
no longer blocks the way. Next year,
when home rule has passed the House of
Commons, wo shall know that it means
the certain passage of the law within a
short specified time."
Mr. Redmond concluded with a glowing
tribute to Parnell's work and his char
acter. He said that the proudest moment
of his own life was in giving to the citizens
of Dublin a noble monument, the work
of the greatest American sculptor of his
day, himself the eon or an Irish motner,
to the memory of the greatest son of
Ireland since tne day nf Hugh O'Neill.

FALLS TO DEATH FROM POOF.
Cherry HIII Character Dies, as He Had
Lived, t nfortunate. -
Cherry Hill last night lost a human
landmark and the hill hoodlums a butt
for persecution in the person of William
Stratton Stretch Stratton to tho pub
lic of the hill, because he was heavy
and lengthy and toggle jointed. Stretch
went up as usual to the roof of 23 Cherry
street, where for years he haa slept
through all weathers in the lee of a chim
ney; but he was less swift than usual
in puzzling his way up the stairs and
did not have his ancient luck in avoiding
the edges of the roof and presently ts
found dead five stories below in a yard.
Stretch professed to he a laborer.
Nobody ever saw him at it and ho might
have been called a laborer emeritus
if the hill had exorcised its vocabulary
He was called oodles of other things and
was showered with sticks and stone.
His cplhes had long since lost pretence
lo form and had become a plumage of
lags and tatters which covered him.
His eyes held the bleary wiatfulness
that comes from years of much alcohol
As he was onlv '.'4 the policemen of the
district figmed that he must have taken
lo the alcohol in babyhood. Stretch
had big club lingered hands that were
always in his way and a grin to take tho
place of conversation.
