CULLOM A CANDIDATE.
The Illinois Senator Has Presidential
Aspirations.


CHICAGO, June 22.-Senator Cullom,
OF Illinois, is candidate for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination in 1892,
and he makes no secret of the fact. ''If
the nomination is rendered me, you can
bet won't throw it over my shoulder, "
were the words he used to a reporter
this morning. "And if it's going to be
free-for-all fight" he added, "and the
Illinois delegation is for me, why then
I'll be in the field"
"Blaine can have the nomination if
he wants it," continued the senator,
"but doubt if he will encourage any
movement to put him in the field. Har-
rison stands the best chance in my
opinion, and will doubtless be named.
Tariff will be the issue, and silver
and other minor questions will be
sort of tailed onto tariff as side
issues. Mckinley will be elected
governor of Ohio, for three reasons ::
First, he is personally very popular
man, having the magnetic attractive
ness of Blaine; second, Campbell, who
doubtless would be his opponent, has
succeeded in dividing his party and
third, the Republican party in Ohio
never was as strong as now."
The senator is en- route to Europe,
where he expects to spend most of the
summer.

THE BIG MUDDY.
High Water in the Missouri River at St
joe and Kansas City.


Joe and Kansas City.
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 22.-The Mis-
souri, river is higher than for several
years and still rising. All the govern
ment work On the Kansas shore has
been abandoned. The rapidity with
which the surging waters are cutting
away the Kansas bank, can best be i'm
agined when it is stated that half acre
lots have been tumbling into the river
ever since yesterday morning.
A workman who came in from Bel
mont stated that the neck OF land
which separates the river north and
south is less than quarter of mile
wide. At the rate the river is now cut
ting the land away it would require but
a short time to place Elwood suburb an
island, and leave st. Joseph two miles
from the river. This would also leave
st. Joseph's million-dollar bridge stand
ing over a dry spot where the river
once wended its way south.
KANSAS CITY, June 22.-The flood in
the Missouri reached this city last night
and the water now stands 231s feet
above low water mark. An additional
rise of two feet would food the low
lands and cause great loss to property.
The rise in the Missouri has backed up
the waters OF the Kaw until they stand
within two feet of flood tide.

LETTER BAG.
The Sunday Law.

EDITORS HERALD: In today's issue
there appears letter signed Justice.
He complains of one particular saloon
being open to the public on Sundays.
Had Justice stated that two-thirds of
the saloons in this city were running full
blast every Sunday he would have been
nearer the mark; also that the chief of
police and all his officers are aware of
the fact. One of the oldest police Off
GERS made the following statement to
me: That a certain saloon on Main
street between First and Second, dare
not refuse him free drink at any time,
whether he was on or off duty; nor dare
saloon-keeper give him away. If he
did he would lay for him the following
Sunday and pull him, and by doing so he
would play even. The police officers
will always close their eyes to any and
all discrepancies on the saloon keepers
side. Why? Because OF the free drinks
for themselves. Saloon keepers who
keep their side entrances and back doors
open on Sunday increase their week day
trade also by doing SO, to the loss and
detriment OF the law-abiding saloon men.
For instance, say | buy my drinks
through the week at certain saloon,
said saloon being closed on Sunday, and
one on the opposite side of the street has
back entrance open. go there for
accommodation. Is it not natural for
me to go there after that during the
week? Being saloon keeper myself, [
know whereof speak. If our present
chief of police will not do his duty, then
get one who will.
Hoping that you will insert this in
your next issue, and apologizing for
troubling you, remain,

ST. LOUIS, June pa police investi-
cation has developed the fact that the
riot at Chain of Rocks, Sunday morn
ing, was not the result OF factional
fight between Italians, but arose from
hard feeling caused by the arrival of
Italians at the camp. A raid was made
by American workmen. The Italians
were driven from the camp. their valu-
ables and money confiscated by the gang
of American laborers making the attack,
and race riot was inaugurated. So
serious were the proportions assumed
by the affair that Italian Consul Ginochi
this morning called on Chief of
Police Harrigan demanding police pro-
lection for his countrymen, and the be-
ginning of an official investigation.
The contractor at the works has also
asked for polire protection. There are
likely to be serious consequences arising
from the bloody anti-Italian raid, and a
rigid and searching investigation is now
under way. Some of the American la
borers thought to have been implicated
in the riot are already under arrest. The
Italian laborers driven from the camp
have taken refuge in the city. Whisky
played a prominent part in the affair
and the Malta cry was used as a means
of exciting American workmen to at
tack the Italians.

An Understandable Catalogue Needed.

An Understandable Catalogue Needed.
EDITORS HERALD; The number of
books in the public library reported as
given out during the month, as indi-
eating the number OF books read, is mis-
leading. l know there are others like
myself, who often call for two or three
books that are out, then, tired of waiting
for some one who has the fraction OF a
very poor apology for catalogue, hastily
select something which they find on
examination at home that they do not
want, and return it the next day.
Now, the librarians are given much
useless work and patrons of the library
much useless WEAKNESS and vexation at
the desk because there is no catalogue
fit to be honored with that name. There
ought to be list of the authors and
their works in the ordinary catalogue
form, which one could buy for 25 cents,
take home and select from with fore
thought.
1t ought not to take many more years
to get out such catalogue for long
suffering public. If the librarians want
something different for their conven-
ience, they can take their time to col
late it. Y.

Dec 26.-Special. Christmas eve night
there was a free entertainment at the old
church at New Bridge There were two trees
very tastefuily and prettiiy decorated 10y
Misses Boston and Lipscomb. The area con-
Meeting the two trees was presided over by
al angel of china There were presents for
everybody and Mr. j.. l. Read increased the
pleasure Of the gifts by his facetious re-
marks in giving them.
The only cloud that cast It's gloom over
the crowd was caused by the absence of the
pastor. Mr.. Hardy, who Is confined 10 bis
home by sickness.
The singing and recitations were unusually
good. The little ones. trained by Misses
Steigleder and Cora Morrison reelected great
credit on themselves and teachers.
But the most enjoyable feature was the
singing of Miss Steigeder 70 her own accom-
paniment on the guitar.
Everything passed off smoothly and pleas
antly. Miss Mary Rohleder was prevented
by sickness from taking her part, but Miss
Grace Rohleder came to the rescue SO the
quartette, by her and Miss Steigleder with
Professor Rheahorn and Mr. Allie Morrison,
was quite success. And then Professor
Gebhardts playing atoned for SO much.
