A Bold Horse Thief.

Last night Dignowity Hill was visited
by what will be called professional horse
thieves. When the stable man, who is
employed by John T. Ham bleton, entered
the stable early this morning, he discov-
cred two horses missing, one owned by
Mr.. Hambleton and the other by Frank
Dignowity. The intruder must have en-
tered after II o'clock, as some of the res
idents of that portion of the city did not
retire until that time. The horses are
very valuable and the loss of same is re-
GREETED by the owners.

tains here Probably Cochran is living
in Washington at the rate of 81 900 a
month, but he can afford it, for his law
practice in New York yields him a
handsome income.
Reed rs still the leader on the Repub-
lican side, and when he assemblies his
lieutenants and tells them what he
wants done his dictum generally settles
it. The big man from Maine is lucky
enough to know how to make men ebey
his wishes without rousing their ire.
He hasn't so much tact as genius. He
simply overshadows everybody that
comes IN contact VITA him, and no eae
lresumes to rivalry. Tom Reed has two
sore spots. One Is his constituencies ON
the car business. He believes the out
cry that was raised against his rule in
the last congress had much TO do with
Republican defeat in the elections of
1890, and yet he thinks he was right in
his rulings

tranced. The very next day, perhaps,
you can't get word out of him. He is
so respondent and morose that he seems
incapable of thinking or expressing him
self. While in the dumps he is not
much more than big baby. Then he
is no more like the Blaine as the world
knows him than night is like day. Mrs.
Blaine is naturally much worried about
him, and it is painful to see that good,
faithful wife watching her great hus-
band as mother watches child and
wondering what she can do for him.

The Mississippi Reaches the DANCES
Ane-Great Damage-storms.
LOUISIANA, Mo-, May 1.-THE raging
Mississippi has reached the danger point
at this city, and after lapse Of severa!
years, again threatens inundation to the
large and fertile Sny bottom of Pike
county, nls,. opposite this city.
The Sny fevee, which alone prevents
the mighty Father Of Waters from de-
stroying thousands of acres of growing
wheat, and driving hundreds Of farmers
from their homes, is now In serious
danger from the continued rise in the
river.
The strong east wind of Sunday and
Monday drove the waves and drift to
the Missouri side, and ma terially assist
ed in preventing a break in the levee,
but should the rise continue and the
wind shift to the west dire disaster will
be the result.
Already the people in the bottom are
becoming alarmed and are crossing to
this side of the river with their house
hold goods. Word was sent to this city
for men to assist in riprapping the levee
at point below the Chicago and Alton
railroad bridge.
The low lands around this city are
submerged, and the Crawford Lumber
company is experiencing serious incon-
venienoe therefrom. This company's
planning mill furnishes power to the in
candescent electric light company and
the overflow shuts off the light The
Burlington road has force of men at
work riprapping its elnbankment just
below this city.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, May 1.-THE Missis
sippi river is raging and is out of it,
banks above and below here and serious
trouble is expected. Hundreds of acres
of the finest farming lands are inun

estimated.
The river is rising rapidly. All the
houses in the bottoms are under water
and the occupants have taken refuge or

make only four miles an hour, as the
tTSck is under water for miles. If the
high waters continue and the Sny levee

and serious trouble is expected.

the sofas and easy chairs in the rear Of

and you will hear all the latest stories, all
the freshest mots, all the newest gossip
of men, women and politics. Here the
leaders are pulled to pieces, humbug
exposed, demagogy confessed or ridi-
culed, the future of parties predicted
and the fortunes of presidential candi-
dates settled about fifty times day.
Men like these daily symposiums, this
meeting together of kindred spirits, and
the pleasure here obtained is about all
the satisfaction majority of the mem
bers get out of congressional service. |

Chicago, voiced prevalent sentiment
when he said the other day that but for
the gossip and stories of the smoking
seats he would have resigned his men,

time paying pretty dearly for my whis-
tle," added Newberry. my board bill
for myself and family, five persons, four
rooms, is 5000 month. 1 pay $3.50 a
month for carriage, that being cheaper
than bringing my own carriage on from
Chicago. My other expenses foot up
about $3.50 month, and SO find that
my salary of $416.G a month falls long
way short of keeping me going. 1t
costs me about $f25 week to sit IN the
smoking room and listen to John Aliens
stories"
There are plenty of other congress-
men who spend as much money for the
honor of sitting in the house as Mr..
Newberry. The great majority, how
ever, are hard up all the time, because
they are poor men and a $4,000 year
salary does not hold out very well ia

that the stories told in the smoking
