Don't Know Too Much.

She was a slight, delicate little NO.
man, with a determined, fear Moth
ing look on her youthful face. Her
Jacket was unfastened, her bangs
were tossed back in careless man
ner, and altogether there was a
brisk, breezy look of the advanced
woman about her slim little hedy.
''Ive been a business woman for
three years" she said, decidedly,
land have invariably found men in
every way courteous and polite to
me. The great mistake the indie
pendent woman makes in her rela-
tons with men is in letting them see
that she is Independent. When |
am with men l try to be the most
helpless, clinging creature on the
footstool, and they are always love
ty to me. Men don't like smart,
clever women half as we'll as gentle,
tmid creatures that appeal to their
sense of chivalry, and the nineteenth
century man has as much OF it as a
medieval knight, if you only knew
how to find 1t. Now, when first
married and my husband asked me If
| was afraid to stay at home alone

rious, while l told him | was per-

BARDsLEY ASKS FOR MERCY.

The DefauIting Philadelphia Treasurer
Pleads Ignorance as His Excuse.
John Bardsley, ex-city treasurer of Phila-
delphia, who several days ago pleaded
guilty to embezzlement of the public funds,
amounting to nearly ST. 100000, was brought
into court for sentence, but ON motion of the
district attorney sentence was suspended
indefinitely. 1t was expected that he would
make an explanation of his money transact
tions at this time and the public was not
disappointed. He criticized severely Bank
Examiner Drew for not reporting the true
condition Of the Keystone bank and blamed
that official, therefore, for the losses in that
depository. His excuse for loaning money
to private individuals and taking the inter-
est for his own use, he says was ignorance
Of a law forbidding such practices.
AS to the assertion that many prominent
politicians have been borrowers from him,
and have shared in some way the profits OF
the Office, Bardsley said it is true that he
had assisted many men In private, political
and public life in small loans, yet in every
instance the money had been returned, or is
amply secured. He is aware that ignorance
of the law Is no excuse for its violation; but
says it is nevertheless, and must be so adj
mltted by all fair minded persons. Sem
tence was postponed until the expert ac-
countants could complete their investiga-
tiDn

Yankton won at the state fremen's tour
nament at Sioux Falls, winning the cham
pionship of the state in the annual contest,
making the time of 40A seconds for the 300
yards run. Huron, with a team that has
been under training for two months, made a
magnificent run down the quarter stretch in
81 seconds, and would have beat the worlds
record of 3S had not the coupling broke.
Even then the coupler picked the pieces up
again and made record of 4214. Sioux
Falls made the run in 35A, but no coupling
was made. Watertown made the run in 80
seconds, but one of their men got tangled
up in his harness, and it was 81 seconds
when the coupling was complete. In the
championship hook and ladder contest
Mitchell made a record of AZ, the Madison
team A and Sioux Falls Az. Yankton won
the prize for the best appearing company in
parade, Watertown for the best discipline
and Sioux Falls hose company No. 4 for pos
sessing the handsomest uniforms.

Terrific Floods Pour Down Upon North.
western Iowa-Cherokee the Center.

Terrific Floods Pour Down Upon North
western IOwa-Cherokee the Center.
Northwestern Iowa has been visited by
one of the heaviest floods ever known. At
Cherokee the terrors of Johnstown were in
part repeated and the wind was almost
hurricane. Seventy-five houses were
carried out of sight in Niagara-like tor
rent. The swift-running floods at Cherokee
carried off apparently without effort the big
truss bridge on the Illinois Central. The
Little Sioux was at the highest stage ever
known. The Illinois Central rails were under
water for many miles On the
Onawa branch, and havoc both to the
roadway and bridges is something
seldom paralleled in railroad history.
The storm appears from the best informa-
ton to have swept a vast circle of north
western Iowa, with Cherokee as the center.
From LeMars come reports that the Floyd
river rose ten feet in twenty minutes from
the effects of the cloudburst. From Merrill
the news is that the Floyd rose seven feet in
less than an hour. The Illinois Central bridge
two miles above there is almost complete
wreck. The Illinois Central track below was
under eighteen inches of water. Hun
dreds of horses, sheep and cattle
were floating down the stream
Crops are injured in some places.
At Sutherland the storm took the form of a
cyclone and destroyed fifteen dwellings,
four warehouses and lumber yards. The
freight house was destroyed and portion
of the depot. The people took to caves and
no lives were lost or anyone injured.

South Dakota Crops Booming.

, Contrary to reports there was little
damage from washouts to the crops in South
Dakota, and instead all the crops have been
greatly benefited by the rains. Wheat and
oats have been stimulated to phenomenal
growth. The cool and cloudy weather has
been very favorable to these crops, but has
retarded the corn growth. Corn is in ex-
cellent color, strengthened by rains. and
the 'stand' much less reduced by cut
worms than last year. Some correspond
ents report rye waist high and barley knee
high. Rains have been especially benefi-
cial to the recently sown fax. Millet has
made rank growth and that recently sown
is well started Much of this crop Is being
now sown under the most favorable condf-
tions, generally on ground where the start
OF corn was seriously reduced by cut
worms and on outlying pieces not before in
tended to be utilized the present season.
The potato growth is somewhat retarded by
the preceding conditions, which have been
marked, and the deeply moistened condi-
tion OF the soil augurs we'll for the future.
The crop Of range grass is becoming rank
and herds are thriving and fattening
thereon

THE IOWA DEMOCRATS,

Their State Convention at Ottumwa
Largely Attended--Boies Renominated.
The Iowa democratic state convention at
Ottumwa was largely attended and enthus-
iastic. Gov. Horace Boies was renominated
with whoop and a hurrah. The ticket
was completed as follows: For lieutenant
governor, Samuel L. Bestow; supreme judge,
l.. G. Kline; superintendent of public in
struction, J. B. Knoepler; railroad
commissioner, Peter A. Dey. The
platform declared for tariff reform,
free coinage, protected franchise and the
repeal Of the prohibitory law. Upon the
silver question the plank of last years plat
form was reafirmed. 1t demands "free
coinage of silver and that it be made full
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate." In demanding the repeal of the
prohibitory law high license is presented as
the correct substitute, with an annual Ii
cense of $500 be paid into the county treas
uries, and such additional tax as the town,
township or municipal corporations shall
provide. In the speech of the temporary
chairman of the convention, Hon. Walter
H. Butler, congressman from the Fourth
district, the reference to Gov. Boies as
worthy of presidential honors was received
with marked favor.

The New Mining Camp.


A visit to the scene Of the recent silver
and nickel discoveries on the Squaw creek
and Harvey City districts in the southern
hills of South Dakota proves that the re-
ports from there have not been exaggerated.
The ''silver camp" has not yet been named,
some wanting to call it Spokane and others
Silverton, but unless all signs fail there will
soon be a large and permanent mining
camp there. Since the first discovery the
whole surrounding country has been staked
and shafts are going down at a great rate.
An old log house, the only one three months
ago within a mile or two of where it stands,
has been enlarged and changed into a hotel
A dozen or more buildings have been
finished, and as many more are in various
stages of erection. Only four saloons are
running, but the camp is young yet and
without doubt will improve with age.

Posing as Mo lei Spoiled Him.

Officer Thomas Birmingham was the
model for the Haymarket statue, and
he has not been model policeman
since. Up to two or three years ago
Birmingham was one of the best
policemen ON the force. He never
drank and he attended to his duties
with remarkable fidelity. He was sta
toned at the corner of Clark and
Madison streets. Nearly everybody in
Chicago has seen him standing under
the big clock-a perfect figure of the
police officer, six feet high, broad
shouldered and as firmly built as an
oak. He was considered the best-look-
ing policeman on the force, and it was
for his reason that he was selected to
be the model for Sculptor Gelert's
monument. There was some opposi-
ton to Birmingham standing as a
model. For some reason the commit
tee which had the making of the statue
in charge didn't want an Irishman, al
though six of the eight men killed at
the Haymarket fight were Irishmen.
When Birmingham, who Is of Irish
descent, heard of this he declined to
serve, but the sculptor, who had no.
ticed his striking build and carriage,
insisted to such good purpose that for
month Birmingham went daily to
the Michigan avenue studio and posed.
The distinction seemed to turn his
head. He ceased to pay attention to
his work, and his superior officers say
he took to drink. They liked him SO
much that they didn't want to take
his star away, but they threatened and
fined him, and finally transferred him
from the corner of Clark and Madison
streets. In his new stand he contin-
ued to behave badly. Reports were
received that he was over near the
monument drinking night after night.
He would drag people up to the cor
ner of Desplaines and Randolph
streets, and, pointing to the statue.
exclaim: "There I am; look at me-"
Then he would stand beside the monu-
ment in the familiar attitude of the
figure with one foot extended and his
right hand raised and exclaim: "In
the name OF the people OF the State of
Illinois / command peace" When he
was supposed to be on duty he would
be absent from his post, and finally
his conduct became so troublesome
that he was transferred out Of the
Central detail altogether to the Des-
PLANES Street Station. The change
weighed heavily upon him, and he
never reported for duty to Captain
Hayes. Hewas included in the order
dismissing o number Of policemen.
y e was a first-class officer until he
became model, said Lieutenant
Ross But the department. could do
nothing with him after that. - Chicago

THIEVING UNEARTHED.
FRAUDS INTHE ISCONSINLUM-
Der DISTRICT.

Millions of Feet Have Been Stolen From
Public Lands In Northern Wisconsin
The Government Inspectors Must Have
Been In Collision.
The Wisconsin state land commissioners
have unearthed q sensation in lumber
frauds on public lands in northern Wiscon-
sin. Special agents were employed several
weeks ago to make investigations and they
found that hundreds Of thousands of feet Of
lumber had been stolen from the public
lands and investigation has only COM
menced. In one township alone over 500, 900
feet OF Norway pine has been Illegally cut
and sold. Logs were found on public lands
bearing the stamp of private corporations
and this led to inquiry. Attorney General
O'Connor said concerning the matter: ''We
are satisfied ourselves, beyond question,
that immense frauds have been committed
within the last six years, and it is not i'm
probable that some of the agents may have
been in collision with timber sharks, at
least we have positive evidence that one
agent did some cutting himself. Had the
agents ever reported to the state land COM
missioners there would have been prosecu-
lions, but this was never DONE" The COM
missioners say that damage suits will be
instituted soon.

Saw the Cherokee Flood.

An eye witness of the food at Cherokee,
Ia, states that it is necessary for one to
have seen it to have the least idea of the
great amount Of damage done. 'Why," he
exclaimed, sit is fearful the way the i'm
mense body of water swept things before it.
Houses were seen to tremble, swing half
around and were carried along by the tor
rents. Trees were bent and broken. The
most remarkable feature OF the disaster is
that any of the people in the track of the
food escaped with their lives. AS far as l
could learn, no lives were lost at Cherokee
and In the immediate vicinity. The storm
rendered between 300 and 400 families home
less in and about Cherokee. The amount
of damage will reach $3.50, 0OO."
