Chicago HOd Carrier Drew the Line at
Being Put In Order by Woman.
One of the shod carriers at work on a
brick building out in, the suburbs
climbed up tosthe first story Thursday.
Then he fell and the hod, the bricks and
the ladder fell on him. When the debris
had been pulled away the hod carrier
was lying face downward on the pave
ment stones sense1ess. There wasn't a
drug store or doctor within half mile
a bricklayer put on his coat and tore for
the nearest patrol box. Meantime the
hod carrier was lying there in pool of
blood. apparently thinking about moth
ing in particular. "
The boss was fuming about, kicking
blocks of wood into the street and
swearing at the iaziness of the police
The big plasterers who could drive a
spike with their fists were standing
around as helpless as children. At this
time a young woman in blue coat came
across the street. She was pretty and
rosy, with lot of yellow hair drawn up
tightly from her temples. and she had a
most decided look in her bright blue
eyes She brushed the big fellows aside
and asked briskly. What's the trouble
here, inen!'' l-ien IS 81 ~
A.'One ofsthe boys has busted himself
wide open.- said the boss politely.
"Let me see, said the pretty girl,
dropping on her knees beside the hod
carrier. She took off a dainty kid glove
and with her little white hand felt the
man s skull. ~ 2

Then she noticed the pool of blood ly-
ing beside the mans right arm, and
whipping out a pair of scissors she
ripped mp the coat sleeve and the sleeve
of the flannel shirt.

The boss pulled a pieceof coarse string
from his coat pocket and handed it to
the girl She drew it around the mans
arlns made a loop knot, thrust pencil
into the loop and twisted it until the
cord sank deep into the flesh.
-,-s You hold this" she said to the boss,
and the big man knelt down and grabbed
the ligature. Then she had some water
brought out. She washed the scalp
wound in a jiffy. Then, she cut among
the loose flesh with the scissors and with
plaster and d strip of linen, from a bag
she carried she made neat bandage
Then she arose and viewed pretty job
of emergency surgery with reasonable
complacency. The patrol wagon and
the hod carrier came around at the same
time. As the wagon backed up the hod
carrier opened his eyes and saw the girl
in the blue cloak
Are you hurt, Mixer said the boss.
Nav said the hod carrier. Take
me somewhere that can geta doctor.

quizzingly and laughed as she washed
his gore from her hands in the bucket of
water.-Chicago Herald.

TIE MAs1eRY or LOVE.
Ilov,s.. Was . slf.shrefi-......s.


Love was a stranger
Without lock or key
He unlocked my bosom
And took my heart from me.
Now my heart is subject
Everywhere go.
Be gentle master. Love.
To one who loves you so.
In a few days and weeks,
In a few months or years.
Love brought me sorrow,
And the salt, salt tears.
oh, Love, come with laughter.
Or. Love. come with woe,
Deal but gently with the heart
That leans upon You SO.
The bees wing Is fragile.
The lark's egg is small.
That you. took was little.r
But II was my all.
Bear the captive where you will.
To high estate or low,
But be gentle master, Love.
To one who loves you 50.

WASHINGTON. May 9.-The Vice Pres ident laid before the Senate a reply of the Navy department to the Senate resolution in regard to bids for certain types of warships from shipbuilding firms on the great lakes.

PEORIA IS FLOODED
MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO
 VARIOUS PROPERTIES.
Farms Converted Into Swamps, Cellars Filled With Water - Much Ineon- venience and Some Suffering Caused In Other States

PEORIA, Ill.,, May l0.-1t has been many years since the people of Peoria looked upon such a flood of raging waters as now goes sweeping past their doors, sometimes entering their cellars, Hopping mauufactories, and wrecking small buildings. It is computed that l5,00o people visited the lower free bridge for the purpose of gazing on the muddy turbulent waters as they went whirlinfi past. The old bridge shakes and trembles in every joint, but has so far stood every shock and will proba- ply continue to do so. The river came to it's climax at noon yesterday, and has remained in that condition ever since.
 The railroads are great sufferers. particularly the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific branch from here to Bureau. miles of the track having been swept away. The Santa Fe and the Toledo, Peoria & Western have also suffered a good deal in the way of bridges swept away. On the Toledo, Peoria X Western yesterday one bridge went down the stream immediately after a train had passed over it. This city is totally cnt off from com munication with the Tazewell side of the river, as the approaches to the bridge are feet under water. At the upper bridge saloon formerly on dry land is now nearly in the middle of the waste of waters, but so far has not been carried off. The section of the city known as "Flatboat City" is totally submerged, the people are living in tents on the shore. The weather is cold and the women and children arc suffering.
 The dam at Henry, forty miles above here, threatens to go out and should it do so the devestation along the river will be appalling.

With such an end in view he introduced in the House yesterday a resolution asking the Attorney General to investigate the alleged trust
 The first business in the House was the Sibley bill coming over from Fri day, but the House refused to consider it, and went into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Hatch of Missouri in the chair) on the river and harbor bill.
 A good deal of discussion was had on the subject, but no definite action was taken, and pending action the commit tee rose and the House took n recess. The evening session was devoted to the consideration of private pension bills

THE LEVEE BROKEN.
.ppALLINC CATASTROPHE IN LOUISIANA.
rhou.ands of Acres Laid Waste and the Ioss VIII he Millions of Dollars Water Continues to Rise All Over the Northwest

NEW ORLEANS, May Tt waa learned last night from Capt. de La boussaye, who passed there yesterday, that .he great Morganza levee in pointe Coupee parish-the biggest levee in Louisiana broke during the ra;nstorm, in consequent of the great nressure of the swollen river aoainst it. The levee is 25 feet hiob. from 60 to 150 feet wide and a mile long. It is one of the most i'm nortant levees along the lower Missis- sipi ana parted at a point where a break will cause the greatest possible amount of damage, since it will let the water down on Pointe Coupee, Iver- vile. West Baton Rouge, Assumption Ascension. La Fourche, Iberia and st. Martin parishes, and may flood all the country between it and the gulf.
 This levee broke in 1884 and caused slO. OO0. .O00 of damage, cutting down the sugar crop of the State materially Ii was partially broken in 1890, but enough of 1t was held then to reduce the amount of damage. The United states government assisted in rebuild ing it both times.
 The crevasse, if as serious as is feared will stop the Southern Pacific and the Texas and Pacific railroads in a few days.

The Price of Irvine Gone Up.

MASON CITY, Iowa, May 1.-The Ma tional Cordage company has now for the first time given its price on sisal twine, which is from l 4 to 1x cents per pound higher than last season. The dealers who are compelled to buy sisal twine must of necessity sell at not less than 12 cents per pound. Those who were fortunate enough to place their contracts before the Ma tional Cordage company gained com- plete control can make a shade lower price. Only about one-fiftieth of what will be needed is now in the hands of dealers. Jobbers are completely out and will be compelled to pay the prices of the company. This means an extra expenditure of thousands of dollars to the farmers of the country.

COAL MINERS RIOT.
The Durham strikers Rcsorting to vio-
 fence.

Ience
 LONDON, May l1-There is great ex- citement at Hartlepool over a series of outrages by union colliers. The trouble began last Saturday and was caused by the employment of non- unionist named Stockdale, in the Castle don colliery. Stockdale was attacked by the union men as he was leaving his work, but the police interfered. The rioters hurled shower of stones at them. A number were badly in- iured. Stockdale ran to his home. The mob then rushed to the colliery and smashed the engine house to pieces They then made a descent upon the piles of coal and every man lugged off as much as he could carry. Again and again they returned, and 1t is said that they managed to steal a hundred tons of coal. Finally some one in the crowd suggested that they attack Stockdale's house, and in a very short time it was totally wrecked. The occupants. however, had been warned and made their escape. An other house, in which resided an official of the mine, was set on fire. Yesterday the mob gathered again and threatened to wreck all the upper works of the colliery. The mine off cials parleyed with the mob, and fi' nally, by promising to discharge Stock dale, induced the miners to cease hos tilities. Great indignation is ex- pressed at the action of the mob and there is no doubt that the ringleaders will be severely punished.

Miners Are Discontented.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa., May 10.-Mur- murings of discontent among the min CTS of the Wyoming Valley since the consummation of the Reading deal are increasing and an organized effort is now being made by them to resist it. It is the universal opinion that the policy of retrenchment already inaug- urated by the Reading will bear heavily upon the miners, and for the sake of their homes and their little ones the men are determined that the constitution shall be obeyed or serious trouble will follow.

CROP OUTLOOK BAD.
Heavy Rains and Cold Weather Threaten
 Disaster.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The farmers in the West and Northwest have good right to be blue these days. The heavy rain- falls seriously delay those who have not finished their seeding, and the un- seasonable snowstorms in the more northern regions have played havoc with the crops already in. The corn belt is soaked, and the tillers of the soil in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa are fretting away the time until the sun dries the land so they can do their drilling and seeding. Wheat, too, will have to wait in many Seates until the land assumes a better con dition for blowing. The outlook is not at all encouraging to-day. Cloudy weather still prevails in the vicinities visited by rain, and in those still vis- ited by snow and sleet the temperature evinces a most discouraging tendency to hover about the freezing point.

ACTION AGAINST THE READING.
It win Re Brought Under the Law on
 Foreien Corporations.

NEW YORK, May 10.-The bill of in- formation which the Attorney General will file in the Count of Chancery at Trenton, N. J., probably this week touching the Reading railroad deal, will hold that the Port Reading road, one of those leased, is a corporation on paper only, created recently for the purpose of facilitating the combine. The law of New Jersey prohibits the leasing of its corporations to foreign corporations, and the Central, to get into the deal, which was really planned several years ago, had it leased to the Port Reading, a company controlled by the magnates of the Reading and LaclSawanna, and yet so insignificant that it has never made any returns for taxation to the State Board of Assessors, as by law all railroad corporations are bound to do. Now the Attorney-General will insist that the lease is an evasion and fraud on the law forbidding leasing to for eign corporations or nonresident own CTS, and he will ask for an order de- creeing the lease to be invalid and directing its cancellation.

BUFFALO, N. Y., May 10.-Rumors of gigantic combination of wall paper manufacturers have been current.

Iowans May Seek the Hills

OTTuMwA, Iowa. May 11.-A heavy rain last night has set the Des Moines river booming again. The water has risen rapidly and continues to rise. The heavy rain of last night, it is feared, will swell the river to the high. est point since 1857, when all the city except that part on the hills was sub merged.
 BURLINGTON, Iowa, May 1.-The river has fallen three inches here and the serious aspect of the flood is over. All trains on the St. Louis, Keokuk & Western arrived in this city on their own lines. Rains have falling here of and on since Sunday, and the condi ton of things in the farming districts IS deplorable. No corn is planted and little blowing done. Wheat and oats are suffering in low places. Farmers and business men are scared over the situation.

No counties in the State instructed thein delegates to vote for Hill delegates, but they are for President who would carry out the demands of the Ooala platform.
