Two Young Ladies Lose Their Lives In q
Swollen Creek.


ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 29-The little town
of Freedom, in Monroe County, H., about
fifteen miles south of Belev1lle and near
the st. Clair County line, was thrown into
a wild state of excitement by the drowning
of two beautiful girls in Prairie du Long
creek. On the morning of Wednesday
John Gambach, a young man OF twenty
years, hitched up span of lively mules TO
a two seated covered wagon, preparatory TO
having days pleasure in picking black
berries. He took with him his sister Louise,
beautiful girl OF eighteen years, and Miss
Louisa Diemen, a br ght-eyed frolick'
some maiden Of sixteen years, step-daugh-
ter of Jacob Rexroth. The young man
drove about three miles south, and at a
place called Black Jack forded the Prairie
du Long creek, the water being only axle
deep On returning the stream was swol-
len from the rains of the night before, and
when near the center the wagon was upset.
Miss Louisa Diemen was caught under the
wagon and was not seen again. John tried
to save his sister, and was swimming to
the shore with her, when one of the mules,
swimming with the overturned wagon,
knocked against them and separated them.
John, who was nearly exhausted, barely
managed to swim ashore and save his lie

CHICAGO, June So.-A gentleman just re-
turned from Colorado, speaking of crop
prospects, said that corn in Eastern Colo
rado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois
could not look better. In Western Kansas,
where they had a failure last year, the
outlook was superb. The roads were mud
dy in Colorado, and good corn was to be
seen in the eastern part Of the State,
grown without irrigation. The wheat crop
was much improved and the grass crop
something wonderful. Even the high hills
between Kansas and the Rocky mountains
were green with grass. He believed thera
would be the old yield Of $4,000, 900 bushels

S.r. Jefferson and tho WHISKY Tax.

Republican Journals do not publish the
following extract from a letter of Mr..
Jefferson to Gen. Samuel Smith in 1923.
Mr. jefferson, like Mr.. Blaine, saw the
moral aspect of a liquor tax. and he
favored it on sanitary grounds. We
quote:
Il shall be glad. too, if anadditionnl tax
of one-fourth of a dollar gallon on
whisky shall enable us to meet all our en-
gagements with punctuality. Viewing
that tax as an article in a system of ex-
else. was once glad to see it fall, with
tho rest of tho system, which / considered
as premature and unnecessarily intro
duced. But tho prostration of body and
mind which the chcapncss of this liquori is
spreading through the mass of our citizens
aow calls the attention of tho legislator
On n very different principle One of his
important duties is as guardian of those
~ho. from causes susceptible of precise
definition, cannot take care of themselves.
Ono powerful obstacle 10 Lis
-uin by self indulgence would be price
beyond his competence. As sanitary
measure, therefore, it becomes one of
duty in the public guardians"

''we arc nnalterably opposed to the abo.
lition or reduction OF the internal reyenue

on necessaries and, not upon luxuries."
There was nothing exceptional In this at

state. The Republican legislature elected

solution, which was presented In congress
