From the San Francisco Examiner.
Rear-Admiral David McDougall died
at South Park, in this city, short time
ago. He left an estate worth about s2l,-
600. In 1868 he was in command Of the
fleet in Japanese waters. A japanese
instruction at that time was suppress

his wife, half to his el'lest daughter and

the widow and children of his son. The
heirs of the deceased son and the young

will on the ground of undue influence,
claiming that the paper was executed
while the Rear-Admiral was upon his
death-bed. Lawyers fees and expenses
have so far cut down the estates inter-

it now amounts to only Sl4, 200. A legal

The Massachusetts House adopted
under a suspension of the rules, without
debate, the senate resolve recognizing
the ability, services and integrity of the
late Cakes Ames, and asking for like
recognition on the part of congress.
When this resolution goes before con-
gress it will be we'll for honest people
to match the course of representatives
upon it. There will be great pressure
of influence and money to get the vote
of censure upon Cakes Ames expuneed
from the congressional record. Pol.
iticians and even preachers will sound
the praises of Ames and weak men will
succumb. 1t is to be hoped, howev yer,
that congress will not virtually say that
a mammoth scheme to debauch congress
is perfectly legitimate and honorable.

THE LONG. LONG KISS.
snatched Hastily From the elue'
lame Maid IA Often DANGEROUS.

Snatched Hastily From the elue-
. Long Maid is Often Dangerous.
Who can explain the magic power that
lies ina kiss? More eloquently than
words it expresses love, friendship,
sympathy, admiration, repentance. It
is token of affection and esteem, ana
of scheming duplicity as well. How
could lovers WOO and wed without the
sweet assistance of kiss? From time
immemorial Cupid has depended upon
it as his most powerful ally. Who cali
not recall the kiss of mother, that
seems almost like benediction. or the
kiss of father. as mark ofapprobation
or announcement? The kiss If brother
or sister, expressing more unselhsh love
than could be contained in volumes OF
words? the kiss of the little one, full of
trust and confidence? What mother has
not been called upon to kiss away the
pain from bruised heads and burned
fingers? What part of the demonstra-
tons of love, Affection or friendship play
in every ones every day lite. Kisses
are recorded in history for which
crowns have been given or world
IuIONu away. IfCA oAASO AIo
was first heard in the gardens OF soft
flowing Cedron has it played an lmpor-
tant part in the destiny of nations.
Queens have ever looked kindly upon
the practice. Good queen Bess was not
averse to the osculatory salutat:On, and
bestowed it right heartily upon, her
favored suitors. A remarkable kiss is
recorded as given by Queen Margaret to
Alain Charter more than 400 years ago.
He was poet, but the ugliest man IN
the whole of France. During his life
time he enjoyed wonderful reputation,
but after his death he was soon forgotten.
He is now chiefly remembered on ac-
count of the kiss which the queen pres.
sed upon his dreaming lips one day, as
she found him sleeping, spying to her
maid as she did so. Il kiss not the man;
l kiss the soul that SINGS
Kisses are the sunlight of life, but of
late physicians are loudly condemning
the practice of promiscuous kissing. A
physician, whose reputation is world
wide, thinks that for an unhealthy per-
son to kiss another is crime. and the
habit of much kissing most dangerous
from sanitary point Of view. Not only
does he believe that diph IBERIA and like
diseases are frequently communicated
by kissing, but that still more loathsome
diseases are contracted by contact with
the lips of affected persons. So let us
be chary of our kisses, or at least be-
stow them with discretion. Promiscu-
Gus kissing, which is not prompted by
sentiment, means nothing, is in bad
taste, and is of little qualification. Let
such OSCILLATION be abolished.

BLACK HILLS DELUGE.
A Frightful Deluge Launched Upon
Deadwood, Sweeping SeventyBuild
AWAY

A Frightful Deluge Launched Upon
Deadwood, Sweeping SeventyBuild-
tngs Away.
Deadwood,, OAK, Special Telegram, May
10. On Wednesday the barometer took q
sudden fall and continued going down I'M
til evening, when a steady rain set in.
Very soon the snow VII ich had been laying
in the mountains began to melt, forming
rivulets which continued to grow every
MINI ute into torrents. At p. m. the tele.
phone message from the ten-mile ranch ap-
prised Deadwood that the entire volume of
snow from the mountains was moving, and
to prepare for the worst. About this time
White Wood creek, which runs through
the city left its banks and begun its first
work of destruction, increasing every min
ute in volume, sweeping houses down the
stream, cutting into the bank at places q
depth of 100 yards. In few hours over
venty houses had been washed away.
ut for the timely news it is impossible to
say what the number of deaths would have
been. Over one half of Deadwood is swept
away, fortunately leaving the substan tial
portion of the city on Main street standing.
The loss in this city is estimated at $500, O0J,
but even now it, is impossible to get def
mite figure. Basket communication has
been established between the separated por-
tons of the city. The only deaths now
known are George Chandler and wife and q
hired man, and another man unknown.
All the towns up the gulch are more or less
damaged. All of Pennington! is swept
away. The greatest portion of Crook City
and Spearish. The total losses from all
these cities will be immense. Business is
paralized throughout the gulch. The
Homestake mine has niue feet of water
over it, and it is safe to say that weeks of
work will not repair the damage done to
the mines and railroads. All the mines in
the vicinity of Deadwood are shut down.
The Golden Gate and South Bend are wash.
ed out. Ali the bridges through the coun-
try are washed away, and reports Of disaster
are being received from all quarters. Com
munication is almost impossible, as all the
telegraphic lines are washed out and 1t Is
impossible to ascertain the amount OF dam-
age. Only one telephone line remains
and that is overcrowded with work. The
entire loss from this flood cannot fail to
reach into the millions.
Rapid City, OAK, special; May 10.-The
disastrous food of Deadwood is upon US.
This city is entirely surrounded by wafer,
and many buildings will be swept away.
The Rapid City valley, more than forty
miles in length. all Of which has already
been seeded, il entirely submerged. The
amount OF damages done in this valley alone
cannot be estimated. Many OF the houses
up the valley are. being washed away, and
probably many lives will be lost. An en-
tire destruction of the coming crop may be
expected. ~ y -sH5s =

John F. Lincoln, who recently resigned
the position of superintendent of the St.
Paul & Sioux City division of the Omaha
road, has left with his family for his old
hothe in Vermont. For the past sixteen
years Mr.. Lincoln has been with this line
Of road, and during the period OF his super.
intendescy not single passenger has been
injured. The employees of the road, learn:
ing OF his intended departure, and desiring
to testify their esteem for the imam, through
committee called upon Mr.. Lincoln lest
Sunday afternoon, and presented him with
check Tor 81, AGO, and also an elegant Ma.
sonic charm, as q testimonial OF their re.
gard. Mr.. LINCOLN was taken completely
by surprise by this substantial evidence OF
the esteem in which heis held by the en-.
ployes of the road, and in response to the
presentation speech said if he deserved any
credit for his management, it was due in 8
great measure to the men who carried Oul
his orders.

Illinois Central railroad, who arrived Al
Cbicago from New York Thursday, says
that Eastern capitalists are greatly alarmed

struction had been overdone in the last two
years and that building this summer would
not be heavy. as Eastern capitalists were

doubt that the railroads would continue to
do good business In spite of of the increased
number of lines.
