Kyle was elected United States senator

bination of independent and democrat
votes, the result standing: Kyle, 75
Sterling, So; Trip, 8; Campbell, l..
Thirty members paired.
The result is regarded here as having
been brought about i'll some measure by
the agitation of the Illinois South Da'

81 wears old and is a Congregational
minister OF broad views. He obtained
school and college education while earn
ing his livelihood and was ordained in
1854 He has since held pastorates at

PAY IN GOLD.


TOPEKA. Kan, Feb. 17.-Thc alliance
legislature passed a resolution advoca-
ting free coinage of silver.
All over the state the farmers are now
receiving notice from the loan agencies
that when their notes tall due they must
be paid. There will be no extension The
companies say that the security has been
deprecated and made bad because legs-
lation has been proposed that is virtually
reputation.
Other agents say they will loan the
money at the old rates of interest on the
farms. The protfcred assistance is
eagerly taken and the notes are signed
generally without careful reading. But
when they are read there is clause
found which says that the notes must be
paid i'll gold. II objection is made to this
clause the borrower is told that it must
remain or the money will not be forth
coming. They are told that the silver
legislation is being inflated by the Kan
sas Legislature and it is necessary tor tli'
lenders to protect themselves. The tarm
ers now find that they have bound them
selves to pay in gold both principal ano
interest, and they reason that ii the tre'
coinage act becomes law they will have
premium of from twenty-five per cent
up to pay on every dollar.

GREAT FLOODS FEARED.
The Scenes of 1854 to be Repeated
Around Pittsburg.

PITrsRuRG, Pa, Feb. 17,-At1 O'Clock
this morning both rivers stood at the
twcnty-six feet mark and rising at the
rate of seven inches per hour. The high
water was very unexpected and all the
morning families have been moving from
their houses in the lower part of the city.
Allegheny street is flooded to its door
steps. The tracks Of the Pittsburg and
Western railroad are covered in the city
and all travel at this end is stopped
while the many mills lining the rivers
have been forced to close.
Reports from the head waters show
steady rains with the rivers still rising
and the lower towns flooded. Bridges
have been carried away i'll every direc'
ton and the loss is great. In this city
the river men say the food will be fully
as high as in 1884 when 80 feet of water

PARIS, Feb. 17.-The Gaulois to-day
publishes dispatch from Buenos Ayres
which announces that the Chilian gov
ernment troops have been defeated at
Coquimbo and Quillota.
The same dispatch states that the in
surgent forces are rapidly increasing in
numbers and that they are advanc-
ing upon the capital, Santiago de Chill.
The Goulois dispatch adds that only a
few towns remain loyal to the govern
ment. The destruction of the railways
by the insurgent forces hampers the
movements of the government troops.
President Damaceda is well supported
in the capital and is said to be hopeful OF
being able to repel the rebels.
1t is feared that the act of rebellion will
be disastrous to the finances and com
merce of the country.
During the course of the battle fought
at Taropoca, 1l5 miles south Of llo, the
mines at Taropoca were set on fire and
afterwards were flooded in anattcmpt to
extinguish the flames, The German
miners who were employed in the mines
there fed into the interior.
Torapaco is only ten miles from the
mouth of the river opening into the Pa
cifc ocean. So it is inferred that the des
truction OF property at Taropaca was
the work of landing party which camt
ashore from one of the lnsurgent wal
vessels.
The coal depots at Coronel have beer
pilIaged by the insurgent sailors sent
ashore to obtaincoal for the rebel vessels
Coronel is twenty-five miles south of Con
cepcion.

A Louisiana Judge Accused OF
Taking Public Money.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Articles of i'm
peachment against Judge Aleck Boaman
of Louisiana have been prepared and will
be presented to the House this week.
There are at least a dozen articles, and
they charge him, not only with using
public funds, but with having allowed
his decisions to be influenced by financial
considerations. The abstraction of the
public moneys consists in his having
taken 81 100 that had been paid into the
Registry of the Court, the deficit being
discovered when the clerk of the court
died.

ure a new and more perfect remedy than
had ever been produced, a laxative with
original and attractive features, prepared
from delicious fruits and health giving

bene fetal to the system, the management
very wisely concluded to select the lead.
ing newspapers throughout the United
States to make known 10 the public the
merits of the new remedy, Syrup of Figs.
AS happens with every valuable remedy,
cheap substitutes are being offered to the
public, but with the general diffusion OF
knowledge it is becoming more difficult
each day to impose on the publ C. Health
is too important to be tritled with and

Narvels of the Connecticut River.

Perhaps as curious and delightful a
book as we could select at random is this
History of Connecticut" which lies be-
fore me- 1t is little calf bound volume,
printed anonymously about century
ago, and generally ascribed to the Rev.
Samuel Peters, clergyman of Hebron,
Conn. Mr.. Peters lived in credulOus
age, and some of the facts which he
gravely relates seem little startling to
our modern skepticism. Here is his de-
scriDtiOn of the Connecticut river: 1.-The
middle river is named Connecticut, after
the great sachem to whom the province
belonged 1t takes its rise from the
White Hills in the north Of New Eng
land, where also springs the river Ken

Sound is a narrow of five miles only,
formed by two shelving mountains of
solid rock, whose tops intercept the
clouds. Through this chasm are com
PEELED to pass all the waters which in the
time of the floods bury the northern
country.
People who can bear the sight, the
groans, the tremblings and surly motion
of water, trees, and ice through this aw-
full passage, view with establishment one
of the greatest phenomena in nature.
Here water is consolidated, without
frost, by pressure, by swiftness, between
the pinching. sturdy rocks, to such a de-
gree of induratiOn that an iron crow bar
floats smoothly down its current; here
iron, lead and cork have one common
weight; here, steady as time and harder
than marble, the stream passes, irresi5ti-
