able to control the opposing factions.
Mr.. llealy thereupon adjourned the

ing and graaning. bat the noise was not
suhicient 10 drown the voices Of the
speakers. Mr.. llealey continuing,
asked why Mr.. Parnell did not
resign his seat and found a new
party. Mr.. Paruell told them
to beware Of tho Saxon smile.

cept Mr.. Dillon as leader Mr. Parnell

rain, has caused an overflow Of the Mis-
souri, river and resulted in casualty In
which five lives were lost. Frederick
Warner, German fisherman, lives on
the bank Of the river with his wife and
three children in a small house. Satur-
day night the combined rain aud high
water caused the house To be under
mined and it was thrown into the river
with the whole family. The cries OF
the people aroused the neighbors and
they rushed to the spot, but were too
late TO be of assistance. The bodies of
Mrs. Warner and two OF the children
were recovered about one mile below the
place where the accident occurred, but
Warner and the youngest child were
not found. and il is supposed they were
swept farther down the stream.

Union was in danger any more loyal
defenders than those who wore the
gray.
