Yellow Bows Coming.

New YORK, September 1.-THE Post says:
Lower rates for sterling exchange have prac-
tically touched the gold importing point. and
il will not be surprising if a large amount OF
gold comes this way at once from the CONT
nent. The struggle of the Bank of England
to retain its gold through the interposition
of artificial obstacles has not yet begun. II
IL safe to say the best informed bankers,
both here and in London, expect that in the
end Great Britain will have to join to a con-
siderable extsnt in the shipment of gold to
the United States. Bankers correspondents
in London are eagerly watching for a chance
to get gold on profitable terms, but thus far
the bank has been able to checkmate them
by the high price fixed by it for gold bars. A
further drop IN sterling rates, however, may
easily justify the importation of sovereigns.

Colorado Railroad News.
DExvxR, Col, September 1&-One Of the
greatest sensations in western railroad circles
ever known will be made public within the
next few days. The Atchison, Topeka 4
Santa Fe railroad, through the capable direc-
ton of President Marvel, has proven itself
the conQueror in western railroad business.
The sensation in question is no les than .
consolidation between the Santa Fe route
and the Denver l. Rio Grande railroad,
whereby ths latter viii be feeder to The
former. This arrangement has been con-
summated through the efforts Of Attorney
George r. Peck. of the Santa Fe railroad.
This new arrangement will cause the Bur-
linRton and other lines to build westward,
since the Santa Fe now virtually controls all
tho Colombo roads.

Kansas Temperance Union.


TorRKA.-rhe Kansas Temperance union
closed its two days session after adopting
the following resolutions, which were pre-
ceded by preamble reciting the benefits Of
prohibition:
Resolved. That we earnestly call upon Ill
judges, county attorneys, sheriffs. police
commissioners, and other officers of what
ever grade, faithfully to discharge their
sworn duties in the enforcement of all laws.
We deplore the non-enforcement of the
law in certain localities of this state, and. be-
ieving that the sentiment of the people ID
undiminished, We lay the fault at the door OF
the state and county officials charged with
the enforcement of the law; and we pledge
our aid and encouragement to proceedings
for the removal and punishment of such OH
GERS who refuse to do their duty, and call
upon all prohibitiorlsts, and other law abid-
ing citizens, to assist US to this end.
We respectfully urge upon all churches
and temperance organizations, upon all w.
c. T. q. associations, to whose fidelity our
cause owes much, and 1. U. o. Good Temp
lars, all editors. ministers and teachers, all
citizens of every ayocation; the necessity OF
renewed exertions on all lines of work. both
moral and legal. While We avail ourselves
of the strong arms of the Law, We insist, a
We have always done. upon the PRIME lmDor-
lance or moral infuences, and of education
given in the home, in the school, and from
the platform and pulpit
We recognize the valuable service rendered
10 our cause by the W. e. 7. O., and the In
dependent Order of Good Templars, and all
other temperance organizations: ana We As.
sure the members of those organizations of
our cheerful cooperation with them IN their
work.
We heartily approve of the Metropolitan
police system, and we believe the honest and
fearless discharge of their duty by the police
commissioners will secure for larger cities
the efficient and economical enforcement OF
the law: and in the interest of the pubic We
respectfully demand of the governor of the
state that the police commissioners shall rem
der such discharge of their duty, or that, In
failure to do so, they shall be summary re-
moved.
We express to the prohibitionists of Iowa,
the Dakotas and other prOhlbltory states,
our most earnest wishes for their success IN
the important contest in which they are now
engaged.
The address concluded as follows
We have lived to see the general closing OF
saloons in this state. The corrupt educating
power of the saloon in Kansas is gone. and
gone to stay. But our work Is not COM
pleted. We ask all, of whatever platform or
creed, all men and women who love their
families and their homes, to JOIN with Us in
the stru1Rle to reach the day when, by tho
grace of God, We shall have locked the door
Of the last JOINT in the state of Kansas We
shall hold our ground. We shall move for

Worse Than Youngstown.

Madrid, September 1.-THE floods which
caused so much damage and which are al
ready known to have resulted In the loss of
thousands of lives, have been general in
southern Spain, where the damage done is
simply terrible in its extent.
Several trains were derailed and railroad
tracks everywhere washed away.
In the province of Toledo the rush of water
from Conseugra river was SO sudden that
hundreds of people were drowned in their
beds. The aspect of the town is positively
fn9htful. Four hundred bodies have already
been recovered and almost q hundred corpses
can be seen floating IL the swollen river.
The wine and grain crops are destroyed
throughout the flooded sections of the coun-
try.
The OVERLOOKING of the Conseugra threatens
to cause further damage. Two-thirds of the
houses are practically destroyed. The esti-
mate is moderate, and which will prove less
than the actual number, places the death list
at 1000.
Large numbers of corpses still rest where
they were found. Unless soon inferred an
epidemic fever is feared.
The municipal and government authorities
are exerting themselves to the utmost in Or
der to relieve the extreme distress existing.
So far as possible the bodies drowned are
being gathered from the streams, mud banks
and runs and buried in trenches.
Along the river bank, near tho scenes OF
the most severely visited district, heart rend-
ing occurrences are witnessed hourly, as the
survivors of almost exterminated families
recognize their dead and try and save them
from consignment to the common death
trench.
Unhappily the worst miseries known. and
months OF terrible privations and extreme
suffering are before the utterly Impoverished
survivors. The crops are gone, earth swept
away and houses and household furniture
arc ruined; all that would enable them to
earn their bread has vanished beneath the
torrents of water which rolled over towns
and villages, fields and farms.
The gripping of hunger of waiting, starving
women and children, have in several in
stances driven men to desperation. They
have been goaded to pillage their Tucker and
more wealthy compatriots.
Two thousand kilos of army bread have
already arrived in the flooded districts, and
the commissarat corps of al military div
SONS are working night and day to supply
provisions to the starving people.

The performance was given for the benefit
ofthe Church OF the Sacred Heart, Father

Father Meyer had been engaged for
some time in training the young thes-
plans, and the result showed that his
efforts had been we'll directed and APP
preciated by his charges: After the
curtain fell, Father Hartnet, in his
eloquent way, thanked Father Meyer
FOR his aid, and the audience and stud-
ents. The affair added considerable to
the funds of the church and will be Of
great assistance in the good work Father
Hartnet is doing.

SHE FIRED THREE SHOTS
A wIFE's ATTEMPT ON HER FAITH
LESS HUSBANDS LIFE.
A Sensational Episode in Local High Life,
Too Much Of a Good Time Nearly Ends
ina Tragedy The End Not Yet.

One OF the most respectable portions
of the city was the scene OH Saturday
night last, or early Sunday morning,
rather, Of a riotous affair, which nearly
ended in murder, and probably will
bring up in the divorce courts.
The parties directly interested live not
hundred miles from Figueroa street,
but their identity will not be disclosed
here, as friends are trying to patch up q
peace.
The man concerned, who is well
known as as'good fellow started out
on Saturday evening to have royal
time OF it, according to his ideas, and
he had it in its completeness. Towards
morning he got hazy idea that he had
better go home. He was in hack
when this brilliant thought struck him,
and with him was a companion Of the
other sex, who had reached condition
Of exhilaration equal to the mans, 80
she said she would take him to his
house. He was not in a condition to
know what he was about, go he inals-
and off they BOWED. When they got to
bering that it would, to say the
make call on her friends
wife at 80 Sunday morning, assisted
her comrade up the steps and the bell
was rung until the lady came down and
opened the door. The pair did not
hesitate, but started to 90 up stairs to-
gether. Then there was tableau, the
gas burned green, and if there had been
a band present it would have PLAYED
ghost dance quickstep. The wife rushed
upstairs first, closed some doors, grabbed
? revolver from the bureau drawer and
fired three times at the faithless hus-
band just as he reached the TOP Of the
stairs. He fell as if dead and rolled to
the bottom, and the doors the
wife had go carefully closed opened.
and some individuals who shall also
for their families sake be nameless ap-
peared. pale and knees shaking, to pick
up the man they supposed killed. The
wife shrieked and proceeded to % into
Mysteries by the shtr est route. When
he got to the bottom of the steps, the
husband slowly staggered to his feet, but
his face was streaming with blood. A
hasty investigation, however, showed
that no bullet had struck him. but that
the tumble had seriously damaged his
nose.
Then the war began again. The wife
wanted to know how he had the audac-
ity to bring "that shameless creature
home with him. He could not give any
lucid explanation Of that, but he COM
menced to rave and tear around, throw
ing out inuendoes about the fact of his
wife having company at such an hour,
and the individuals who had appeared
on the scene when the wife had fred the
revolver began to wish that they were
somewhere else.
Things quieted down after while, and
friends of the parties have been trying
to get them to kiss and make up, and 80
It stands. Everybody was SWORN to se-
crecy, including the hackman, for fear
thet the repes 1ers would learn of thSs
Three families know Of the matter. and
it is now likely to take such q shape as
to prevent its being kept private much
longer.
