THURMAN'S TROUBLES.
An Alleged Physician Arrested
for Selling Medicine With
out License.

William Thurman, generally known a.
doctor" Thurman, was yesterday arrested
by Officer GOsssge for peddling medicine
without license, and taken before Recorder
Rauck, by whom be was fined $40. Thur
man promptly paid his 6ne, but was no
sooner released than he was rearrested on
a state warrant, charging him with selling
medicine without county license. The I'M
lucky vender of nOs,rums was arraigned
before Justice Halstead, and by this time
having secured an attorney, he entered
plea of not guilty, and asked for contin-
uance, which was granted, the bond being
fixed at 400, which after some delay Thur
man succeeded in giving. The case is set
for trial next Friday.
Thurman says that he has been selling
his medicine. known as "EmbrOcation,"
which interpreted means Stood for angels, :"
for the past seven years and was never be-
fore asked to pay license. He was in
formed that the law had been changed, but
he professed utter ignorance Of the Law,
and doubtless he was honest and truthful
in his statements. Ignorance, however, is
no excuse in the eyes of the law.
Section 10 of tie act relating to drug
gists, on page l16 of the Session Acts of
1885," says: "Any itinerant vender Of any
drug, nostrum, ointment, or appliance Of
any kind intended for the treatment of any
disease or injury. who shall by writing, or
printing, or any other method publicly
profess to cure or treat disease or injury,or
deformity by any drug nosirum or manip
ulstion or other expedient, shall pay
license OF 800 per month, to be collected
as provided for by law, as all other licenses
now are collected
"Any person violating the provisions o:
this saction shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by fine of not to ex
coed $500, or by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not to exceed six months, or
by both such fine and imprisonment"

Touched For Twenty.

A well.known young man whose name,
at his earnest solicitation is suppressed,
called upon Justice Rife Yesterday, and
stating that he had been robbed of $40, de-
sired a search warrant for the purpose of
searching the person and room of young
railroad man whom he claimed had picked
his pockets while the two were walking
along the street together.
The warrant was issued by the justice
and placed in the hands of Deputy Consta-
bic Wallace for service. The officer visited
the young mans lodgings but failed to End
him in. Subsequently, however, he ran
across him on the street and searched him
thoroughly, but failing to find any money
on his person, turned him loose.

A SERIOUS SITUATION,
Was That in which q Railroad
Man Found Himself Yes
terday

The BAZOo of Yesterday morning gave a
brief account of the alleged robbery of a
woman in South Sedalia, who claimed tha,
two men, who had called at her residence
during the afternoon, had robbed her of
$50. Yesterday morning one Julia Green
way swore out a warrant against James
Clark and another party ito the affiant un.
known" charging them with the larceny of
a $40 gold piece, one SO bill, one pocket
knife and ore handkerchief, all of the value
of $31.
The warrant Was placed i'm the hands of
Deputy Constable Wallace for service, and
yesterday afternoon Clark was arrested,
taken before Justice Hals,ead and ar
raigned on the charge of grand larceny, to
which he pleaded not guilty. Through
his attorney, w. ID. Steele, he asked, and
was granted a continuance until next
Thursday. His bond was fixed at fifty
dollars, which was readily given and the
prisoner discharged from custody.
In justice to Clark the BAzoo
will say that he is q
young man of rather progressing appear.
ance, and does not look in the least like the
common thief he is charged with being.
He admits that he was found in bad compa-
ny, but Indignantly denies that he was
guilty of taking cent belonging to the
woman Greenway. who, TO draw it mildly,
possesses character not above suspicion
for chastity.
Late last evening it was found that the
unknown" party charged with being im-
plicated in the rObbing with Clark, was one
Fagin, a railroad man whom the constable
had not been successful in finding up to
late hour last night.

FLOODS IN THE WEST.
The lsysss Beginning to GiysAway
at Various Points
ON THE ILLINOIS SIDE OF THE RIVER.
The Situation Becoming More Serious and
Fears are Entertained That the Whole
American Bottom win be Laid
in Waste.

ST. Louis, Mo-, June 26.-Advices from
Chester Rudolph county, ILL.,, say that st.
Mary's levee, opposite that point, in Mis-
souri, broke on Sunday night, and the st.
Mary's bottom, large wheat raising re-
gioD, is now nearly all flooded. 1t is said
that twenty thousand acres of wheat are
under water on this bottom alone. From
Chester to Grand Tower, southwark, on the
Illinois side, for distance of 20 miles, with
an average width of 25 miles, embracing
an area Of go miles, is nearly all submerg-
ed and the crops destroyed, entailing
Great Loss
To the north Of Chester nearly all the
way up to st. Louis, the bottom is said to
be inundated, except here and there high
Iidge which is above the water. Informa-
ton from all this region is of a general
rather than special character, but it Is
safe to say that if all these bottoms are
oyerfiowed as stated, thousands of fami-
lies are either living in flooded houses or
have fed to the bluffs for safety, and that
the loss to crops and the general farm
property is almost inCalculable. The
American bottom extends from Alton to
Cairo and is something over two hundred
miles large, part of which is pretty thickly
settled. All this great track is subject
TO overflow in treshets like the
present, and it can be readily im-
agined that the loss to property and the
Distress and Misery
brought upon the inhabitants must be
immense. The town of st. Mary's, on the
Missouri side OF the river, is partly sub
merged, and Easkaskia, on the Illinois
side, is abandoned, the people there having
sent to Chester for a steamboat TO carry
them away. A leyee, three miles above
Cape GIrardeau, Mo-, and about fifty miles
above Cairo, and another at Prices Land
ing, p miles further down the river, broke
on Sunday night and let a large volume OF
water rush over the bottom. Other ports
on both sides of the river below here, par
tiCularly on the Illinois side, are in about
the same condition as above described, and
il may be said that pretty much all the
bottom land between here and Cairo has
more or less water on it.
KANSAS CRY, June 26.-The river rose
about three inches during the forenoon and
in the afternoon remained nearly station
ary. Old river men generally agree in the
opinion that the June rise has not appear
ed here, but anticipate its coming within
six or seven days. This, however, is not
much more than mere speculation. The
river has risen slightly to-day at Omaha
and Nankton.
