MANY LIVES LOST
TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE MADE
HOMELESS BY FLOODS.
NORTHWEST IOWA IS FLOODED
Great I1jury to Railroad Property
and Crops Generally Destroyed.
Every Bridge Across the
Sioux River Gone.

By National Press association.
Sioux CITY, June 26.-Reports from all
quarters concerning the unprecedented
high water resulting from the cloud
burst in the Sioux Valley, Ia, show that
there has been great damage Co railroad
property, and that the crops generally
in that region are destroyed. The Floyd
River is ont of its banks, and people
have been compelled to make hasty de-
partures to higher ground.
-Four persons were drowned at
Cherokee. 1t is impossible to learn their
names or how the unfortunates met their
death.
Everything is In the widest confusion
at Cherokee and Correctionville. 1t is
now known that six persons met their
death in the country round about the
latter place, and the number is reported
increased to eight
Houses, barns and outhouses were
floating in the Little Sioux past Cherokee
all day. No one knows where they come
from.
The following additional particulars of
the flood at Cherokee have been received:
The wagon bridge over the Sioux, south
of the town, went out at ten o'clock at
night. This was followed by all the
houses on the fiat in that part of the
town, more than 100. The number of
people driven from their homes was be-
tween 800 and 1900. The river rose
until o'clock, at that time being ten
feet higher than was ever known. Every
bridge across the Sioux river both wagon
and railroad, is gone between here and
Onawa, and probably every bridge in
Cherokee County, on the Sioux river.
Last night most of the distressed peo-

rowful appearance. Those houses that

The "Siege Of Sebastopol" is now being
reproduced at Harrisburg at a cost of 500
900 for ten exhibitions and from 10000 to
1900 people witnesses it daily, travelling
from all parts of the state to witness the
spectacle. 1t has been suggested that
sham battle be fought at Lakeside in Sep
tember and that either Shenandoah or
Mahanoy City take the initiative. The
latter place being nearest to Lake.
side and having military COM
pany would perhaps be the most suita
BILE field for the start. 1t would be biz
card and no less than 10000 people be
induced to witness il. OF course, it should
be an elaborate affair and several compan-
les should participate in it. No better
place shan Lakeside could be selected.
The driving park would afford a splendid
field and the neiRhboring groves would
answer for skirmishes sharp-shooting, etc.
What say you, soldiers If Mahanoy
City does not take the cue, let The boys IN
blue of town take hold. 1t will pay.

Tarrytown last night with his little girl

He said that his wife ran away from

ever since. The chief of police wanted
him to remain in Tarrytown all night,
but he decided not to do this and said he
would return this afternoon. Mr. At

in Yonkers named Herbling, who was a

what we have asserted all the time
and is additional proof that the whole

the Democratic party. While ALI

party, the alleged Alliance Democrats
are urging on the movement with re-
markable energy, throwing dust in the
eyes of the Republican contigent, but

Ex-City Treasurer BardsIey's Statement
TO be Torn to shreds.

Ex-City Treasurer BardsIey's Statement
TO be Torn to Shreds.
PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-The mayors
experts, Taylor Faunce, Lawrence Brown
and Thomas W. Barlow, are now prepar-
ing report which is likely ito tear ex-
City Treasurer Bardsley's statement to
shreds. To-day Mr.. Barlow is busy
writing the report, which will be finished
and presented to Mayor Stuart on Satur-
day or Monday next.
Mr.. Brown was disposed to be reticent t
about the nature of the report to be pre-
sented, but it was learned that the eX-
perts have not enough Information to
totally disprove Bardsley's statement. 1t
Is said that in direct contradiction of
Bardslev's statement it will be shown
that 100000 of the money went into
the Bradford mills, and that since Bards-
ley became city treasurer fully S3,OOO,0OC
have passed through the Keystone Bank
in fund from which Bardsley drew
various amounts to pay the expenses OF
the Bradford mills.
Mr.. Graham was asked when Bardsley
would be brought up for sentence. He
said he did not know, as Bardsley'i
statement is being investigated TO ascer
tain whether or not it is true. 'If it il
true" said MIR Graham, ''why, of course
he is entitled TO any benefit which may
result from his telling the truth, If ii
issnot true, why it is information for the
court to act upon"

The Erie Veterans Home is just
now in a decided turmoil, 1t was
claimed by the management that the
inmates received too much money on
pension days, that it caused disorder
and that where the veteran had de-
pendent family, the money was often
diverted from it. SO an order was
made that eighty per cent. Of the pen.
sion money must be paid to the au'
thorities of the home, and dependent
families would be cared for from the
fund thus made This, the veterans
declared, was unlawful and unjust and
they appealed to higher authority,
which has just decided in favor of the
regulation, and many have chosen tc
leave the home rather than turn over
their pensions.

by Mrs. E. A. Camp against her husbend,
who is now to be sued by Mrs. Camp for
alternating her husbands affections.
At the trial of the Camp divorce case
Finnerty was a witness for Mrs, Camp,
and testified that it was not an uncom-
mon sight to see Mr., Camp and Mrs.
Pearsall embrace and kiss each other, He
seemed to have been dragged into the
case largely to make a sensation,
When Mrs Pearsall saw Finnerty com

horsewhip in her hand and belabored
him with it. Being a woman of large
proportions and great strength every

For some unexplained reason the
Daily Republican yesterday saw fit to
make an ungraclous attack upon the
State League of Republican Clubs in
general and upon the Central Club, of
POttsville, and the j. d. Cameron Club
of Shenandoah, in particular. The al
legation that the State League is likely
to do more harm than good to the
party, and that it has fomented discord
and factional feeling, has no substan-
tial evidence to support it. AS a
matter of fact the League has already
done much pratieal and effective party
work and is capable of doing much
more. - Miners Journal.
