KANSAS CITY. June 22-The food 10
the Missouri reached this city last night
and the water now stands twenty-three
and a half feet above low water mark.
An additional rise of two feet would flood
the lowlands and cause great loss to prop
erty. The rise in the Missouri has backed
up the waters of the Kaw until they
stand within two feet of food tide.
ST. JOSEPH, June 22.-The Missouri
river is higher thar for several years and
is still rising. All government work on
the Kansas shore is abandoned. The
rapiditY with which the s%urgin0 waters
are cutting away the Kansas bank can
be imagined when it is stated that half
acre lots of earth have been tumbling into
the river since yesterday morning. A
workman who came in from Belmont to.
day stated that the neck of land which
separates the river north and south is less
thar a quarter of a mile wide. At the
rate the river is now cutting the land
away it would require but a short time to
reach Elwood, a suburb. on the island.
and leaYe st Joseph two miles from the
river. This would also leave st. Joseph's
million dollar bridge standing over a dry
spot where the river once wended its way
south.

NANDALIA, Ill, June 23.-The little
town of Ramsey, just north of here, is
boiling over with a sensation in which the
Rev. John Dunaway, a CamDbellite min.
lister PLAYS the leading role. Dunaway, 1t
is charged, while under the influence of
whisky, was passing the residence OF John
Donaldson, a drayman, and, seeing Mrs.
Donaldson on the back porch, asked if he
might get a drink of water. Mrs. DON
aldson brought the reverend gentleman a
cup, and after quenohing his THIRST he en-
gagged her IN conversation. Some time
had elapsed when a I5-year.old daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Donaldson, looking out
of the window, discovered her mother
and the preacher in a compromising po-
sitiou, and on informing her father, the in
furiated husband rushed out and then and
there administered to the bold libertine a
sound thrashing. Mrs. Donaldson claims
the elder mesmerized her. and that she
was no. conscious of what was going on at
the time. This same Dunaway last fall
canvassed Fayette county IN the interest
of the Farmers Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton, and flooded the county with scandal
u lies relative to the regular Republican
and Democratic nominees. He is also
charged with having invaded the home of

Serious Charge against &
Campbellite Preacher.

NEW YORK, June 22.-On Friday
afternoon one Of the private detectives in
Mays saw a woman pick up a lot OF
articles and drop them in a big paper bag
which she carried. She was a tall, we'll
dressed woman, rather stout and respect
able looking. He followed her around
until she left the store, and then just as
she was about to board a car, arrested
her. You will have to step back to the
store" he said to her. The woman
turned deadly pale. She took IRON the
paper bag a cup and saucer and held
them out to the detective, saying: Here
Is all l took. Now let me go" He
took her back te the store, where one Of
the saleswomen searched her. She had
stolen a pair OF ear rings. three ncckties,
four pieces of yelling and a lot OF other
small things. Besides these there we're
some articles which she had got at
Hearn's. The prisoner sent for Henry
Metzger, a saloon keeper. who signed a
bond for $500. TINS morning the detec-
tlves and Mr.. Metzger appeared in court.
They waited and waited. but the prisoner

the clock to the door. At moor Justice
Mcmahon called the case. The detec-
tives said that the wOman's husband had
called at Mays early IN the morning and
tried TO settle the case. Half an hour
after all those interested had left the court
the prisoner appeared accompanied by
her husband. She was very pale and
weak. and could hardly stand. Her hus-
band, holding her hand in his, stepped
closer to the desk and IN a trembling
voice SAID:
"Oh, your honor, she Is innocent /

rave lived together twenty years aud she
has never done anything like this before.
She is sick; she did not know what she

His head fell forward and he burst into
violent weeping. Justice McMahon
turned his eyes to the ground aud moved
u%neasilY in his chair. The wOman's eyes
were closed, though tears trickled down
her cheeks. She still clasped her hus
bands hand. After a minute of OPP
p~ressive silence, he dashed the tears from
his eyes and said. please let her go,
Judge. If she has taken anything | viii
pay for it over and over again. I am a
clerk in a banking house, and this may
ruin me. Justice Mcmahon pulled
himself together with a visible effort. He
sympathized with the man add pitied the
woman, but he held the prisoner in $500
bail for trial.

ST. LOUIS, June 22.-The police in
vestigstion has developed the fact that
the riot at Chain of Rocks Sunday morn
ing was not the result OF a factional fight
between Italians, but arose from hard
feelings caused by the arrival of Italians
at the camp. The raid was made by
American workmen. The Italians we're
driven from the camp their valuables
and money confiscated by the gang OF
American laborers making the attack and
a race panic inaugurated. So serious were
the proportions assumed by the affair
that the Italian Consul Ginocchi. this
morning called on Chief of Police Harri
gan at the -Four Courts. demanding po-
lice protection Tor his countrymen and
the beginning OF an official investigation.
The contractor at the works has also asked
for police protection. There are likely to
be serious consequences arising from the
bloody anti Italian raid, and a rigid and
searching investigation is nov under way.
Some of the American laborers thought
to nave been implicated in the riot are
already under arrest. The Italian lab
orers driven from the camp are now IN
refuge in this CITY, Whisky played a
prominent part in the affair, and the
Malta cry" was nsed as the means of ex-
citing the American workmen to attack

bank in the morning. Next morning he
received instructions to close It. On the
same day Drew ~teleGraphed the comp
troller urging the appointment of a re-
ceiver without delay and suggested the

to Lacey advising hat no action be taken
against Marsh as bis services were indis
pensable toward an investigation. Pre-
vious to Marsh's arrest numerous letters
passed in regard to the reorganization.

is HE A TYRANT?
Stories from Chill About Presi-
dent Balmaceda.
How He Furnishes the Rebel
Sympathizers.
Jay GOuld's View of the Silver
Question.

NEW YoRK, June 22.-Three gentle
men recently arrived from Chill told
stories to-day about the conduct OF affairs
in that country which would seem to indi-
cate that the term ''tYrant'' is well APP
piled to Balmaceda. They tell of all sorts
of indiguitles heaped by his order upon
people whom he suspects are not wholly
in sympathy with him, having their
houses marked with paint and su5jecting
such houses to search and pillage by his
soldiers at any time. Men who are
pressed into military service are horribly
punished if insubordinate. One unfor-
tunate who was heard to say he would
work his hand off for revolutionists was
arrested, his fingers pounded into a jelly
with a mallet and he was then
told to 20 aud work with
bis hands. The weak point with the rev.
olutionlsts Is lack of arms and ammuni-
ton. They rave about 5000 men fully
armed and equipped. Could the neces-
sary munitions OF war be obtained the
number would be at once increased to
over 10000. Several thousand men are
only waiting for equipments to take up
the march aEains; the government party.
B~almaceda's army consists % 5000 men
well equipped. OF these, only 1900 are
of the old army, the remainder being re-
cruits forced into service. These men are
brought in from the provinces IN patches
of twenty-five to fifty. hand -cuffed together
aud guarded like Siberian cxiles.
They are put into the ranks and COM
PEELED to serve. The gentlemen said Don
Pedro Mont Is on his way to this country

ents. A rumor is current IN this city
that the European agents of the revolu-
tionists have paid the remainder of the

A BIG LUMBER DEAL.

Messrs. John Arpin and Sons closed d
deal the past week with the Wilbur
Lumber Co., of Burlington, Wis,
through their general agent F. L. lib
bits, whereby the latter company came
in possession Of 100000 feet of pine
lumber and as fine quality as ever
passed through a saw-mill. The pine
timber known as the Arpin tract is re-
ported bv those who know to be the
finest quality of white pine in the North
west They already have over 1900, 900
cut and in piles at their station on the
Port Edwards railroad, and the balance
of 5000, 900 will be delivered out of next
seasons cut. The best of this lumber
sold for $13 so per thousand in the pile
at their yards and the balance at $500
They also sold their output of shingles,
pickets and lath. The deal will foot UP
over $l30,0O0
Mr.. F. L. Tibbits, of Wausau, is agent
for the above company and will move
back to this city in the spring and oc,
tupy his residence. He will look after
the selling of this lumber, and Mr.
John McLaughlin, who now resides
here. will attend to the shipping.
The people of the twlu cities car
readily see the benefit we derive from
the Arpin's retaining and handling thi:
tract of timber instead of selling, az
they thought at one time, to the Uphan
Manufacturing Co., of Marshtield.
