Tor a week previously and Conductor
Mensey Of the Rock Island thinks he
would know them II he should see them

beard. While here they stopped at the
Delmonico
Farmer Triee had piece of land
worth SIS an acre. The confidence
men represented themselves to be St.
Louis capitalists and made him an offer
of $50 an acre. paying him 81 900 down.
Having closed their deal with Farmer
Triee, they told him that they had some
land near bathrop that they would sell
ut a bargain. Triee knew the land was
worth more than they offered 10 sell it
for, and having disposed OF his own
farm at such a profitable figure, he drew
s3, 800 from the bank and started with
the men to buy.
In wood near plattsburg the capital
lists met some confederates, and all

Iowa Republicans.

CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia., June 30.-The
'epublican state convention meets here
tomorrow. Every indication points to
the largest aud most harmonious gath
ering of Iowa republicans held for
years. 1t will be harmonious because
most OF the nominations are assured In
advance, and because there is no divis-
ion of sentiment on platfrom. For
Governor, Hiram G. Wheeler OF
Odebolo, Sac county, will be nominated
At meeting to-day OF the state CEN
trail committee and prominent party
leaders, including Senator Allison and
republican congressman, the platform
was discussed. Upon the prohibition
question, the paramount issue in Iowa,
the republicans will take no backward
steps. The prohibition plank will be
reaffirmed and demand made for =
more vigorous enforcement Of that
law
On the financial question there will
be a mere Endorsement OF the recent
act of congress with the declaration
that free coinage should be extended TO
the limit of the American output
Harrison's administration and McKin-
ley's law will be approved but recip-

ATcnIsoN, Ks, June 30 The house
OF Pleasant Little, on Doniphan point,
went into the river with It's contents
yesterday afternoon. The house was
occupied BY John Mcqueen and his FAM
lily, Little boarding with them. They
had vacated the house few hours be-
fore IL fell, taking refuge on the main
land. This morning the house was
found lodged against ono OF the gov
ernment dykes at East Atchison. Lit
tie escaped from the point with Me-
Queens family, but he has not been
seen since, and 1t Is feared that he re-
turned 10 the house, and was lost with
it,
The two other families living on the
point, those Of Mrs. NJ. J. Parker and
Jacob Koch, also sought safety on the
mainland yesterday. They left behind
all their possessions, including about
100 head OF stock, that will perish II
the river carries away the point, as
the current Is too swift for them TO
swim ashore. The neck across which
the water flows is about $50 yards vide,
and the stream is about 100 yards wide.
Around the island thus formed II is
seven miles. The current across the
neck Is about four feet deep pitching
over a fall Of six feet at the lower end,
causing roar that can be. heard two
miles away. The current has not yet
cut through the 'gumbo.h As long rs
this tough crust stands the point is safe,
but should the current cut through TO
the alluvial soil below, II would be only
matter of few hours until the great
volume OF the river would be passing
through a new channel
Between Atchison and Rushville the
Hannibal & ST. Joseph and the Kansas
City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs tracks
are covered with water in several
places. The Hannibal track is not safe
to use and the Kansas City will have TO
abandon theirs If the situation grows
any worse. Between Rushyille and the
river, not less than twenty-five farm
houses are surrounded by water, and
farmers are out in boats trying TO res
cue shocks OF wheat that are yet above
water,

izations have poitoned and begged and

not blame them for your overthrow,
but blame your own blind and miser-
able folly.
The action lately talsen by the con-
ference at Cincinnati has made the fu-
ture Of our politics so uncertain as to
throw the old party leaders into con.
sternation. Shey do not know, ''and
no fellow can sall them,n into whose
hands they are going to fall. 1t seems
10 US that no good can come TO these
leaders and the parties they represent
50 long as these people stand shivering
IN their places, ,,expeeting disaster. II
these parties really want TO save them
selves from defeat let them get togeth-
er and throw their corrupt leaders

fully to the work Of reforming the final
system But viii they do itY No! AS
we before stated, we consider it an utter
impossibility. Sooner or later each
and every member of the various indus.
trial organizations will be compelled
by a sense Of duty, to abandon the old

NEW YORK, June 30.--A correspond
ent at Santiago, de Chill, writing May
30th, says: In Chill to-day scores Of
men were shot In this city the shoot
ing OF the officers and sailors of the
torpedo launch Guadlo was the spe-
ial feature OF the wholesale execution
The men were placed in one of the
large rooms OF the Jail last night and
those who desired to confess did SO. At
one side, on table, was silver cruci-
fix between two candles. The heart
broken sobs OF the prisoners inter-
mingled with the low tones Of the
priest, who, on hended knees, exhorted
the condemned men. Even the stern
soldiers OF Balmaceda who were on
guard could not repress tears. All
night the solemn ceremoney continued.
1t was scarcely day break when the
shrill notes of a ougle were heard.
Soon six companies of infantry were on
line in the prison yard. An officer
quickly ascended the steps leading TO
the capilla. as the room is called, and
handed the officer on guard document
1t was the sentence and order OF execu-
tion, which was read, and then the
funeral procession was formed As the
prisoners stepped out of the room each
was put between two grim soldiers.
When ali had been thus placed the pro-
eession moved out OF the prison and
was met by two companies of mounted
men, formed in two long lines, between
which the men proceeded on foot TO
the pace Of execution. There was not
a soul in the streets.
On arriving at the plaza the troops
formed in a hollow square and a sec
tion OF sharp shooters took positions
opposite the condemned men. Not
muscle Of their faces moved. They did
not seem TO realize that these men
whom they were the next minute to
send to their graves were their breth-
rem. After the prisoners had kissed
the crucifx their hands were tied be-
hind them, and then the command,
Prepare, aim, fire. rang out A vol
ley, little puffs of smoke and the execu-
tion was accomplished. About dozen
men had been sent into eternity because
they espoused the cause of liberty as
they understood it.
The list OF Balmaceda's cruelties Is
terrible to contemplate. Men and
women are butchered for daring to ex-
press an opinion. and there seems to be
no limit to the brute's devilishness.
