River Items,

Sioux City Journal, Saturday: The
river yesterday morning stood at
1879 feet above low water
mark, which is within seven
points of the highest water last year,
July 4. Yesterday it rose IL feet. The
danger line is 1877 feet and high water
mark a little over twenty feet. A fall of
Z was reported ut Pierre and a rise of 2
at Buford and at Bismarck. This water
will be two weeks coming down. "This
fact" said Observer Purcell, "leads me
to conclude that there will be high water
all the month, and that it will be con-
siderably higher than last year.
The Sioux City Journal says that
Captain Talbot, (who will be remembered
as the captain of the large steamer
Libbie Conger, which came to Bismarck
from Sioux City, turned over it's contract
to the Power line, and left almost imme-
diately for down the river), is consulting
with persons in that city, relative to
buying a boat to engage in the Charles
Mix county trade.

The Fruit. CroD Outlook,

A close observer declares that the pres.
ent prospect for the fruit grower of Cali.
fornia is favorable. The fruit crop in the
east is expected to be only about one-half
as large as usual. Although the output
in California will be less than that of last
year, the size and quality of the fruit will
be improved so much that it will command
advanced prices. The value of the fruit
crop this year in California is estimated at

THE NEW GYMNASIUM.

The corps a5 West Point forms one battal-
ion consisting of four companies. Officers
and noncommissioned officers are selected
from the ranks. The daily routine is sim
pie enough and it becomes perhaps monot-
onous to many of the boys after some time,
yet they have nc reason to bemoan their
fate. AT o'clock a. m. the man falls in
with his company at the ~reveille, at $50 he
takes breakfast, at 8 sharp he marches to
his section room. The fencing lesson be-
gins at $50, whence the young soldier re-
turns to barracks at 1915. Dinner is taken
at / p. m. At 2 o'clock the men march
again to the section room, and afterward
they drill from Ais to $50 p. m.
During fall the cadets of the first, second
and fourth class receive riding lessons.
Nearly all Of them become good riders, but
the building q which the lessons are given
Is utterly inadequate for that purpose, and

New ORLEANS, May 22.-News has

the largest sugar-prOducing sections OF
the state. The break is forty feet wide,
and there is scant hope of closing it. 1t

celebrated Nita creyasSe of 1890,
and the chances are that the damage
will be very heavy. The plantation on
which the break occurred is one of the
finest for its size in the state. With the
break at the Gypsy plantation, which
cannot be closed, and the one at Hestor

VERY STRANGE DEATH.
Apparently Caused by a Half
Hatched Egg.

FALL RIVER, Mass. May 22.-The
local medical profession is much inter
ested in the following well-authenti-
Gated facts, reported by DR.. Cas-
grain, a respectable physician of
this city. Victoria Berube, aged
six years. died yesterday noon
after remaining unconscious TOR sixty
four hours. She had been in delicate
health for two years. Wednesday She
went home from school and shortly
afterward was taken sick. vomiting a
black substance. DR.. Casgrain was
called in and found the patient insensi-
BILE. He was unable to restore her.
Two hours before her death. yesterday
noon, she vomited a dark reddish
substance, which on examination
was found to contain partially formed
bird. The doctor declines to advance
any theory. but will report the facts
shortly to the local medical society. A
prominent physician advances the the
ory that the child may have eaten par
boiled half-hatched egg. The beak OF
the bird may have become imbedded in
the walls of the stomach. This theory
is strengthened by. the fact that sym

Federal Oficeholders Going to

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Post this
morning prints full list of the dele
gates to the Minneapolis convention,
and OF the sos itasserts that over 100 are
federal officehoders. ''lf the order at
tributed last week to the president, that
officeholders must not attend the con-
yent1on, is carried out" says the Post,
"there will be considerably over 100
absent delegates. In the Northern states
the officeholding delegates are not as
numerous as in the South. The reason
of this is self-evident. In the first
place the Republicans of the North
did not care to have their actions tram
meled by men who were under oollga-
tions TO a dispenser of patronage. In
other states, too, as In Colorado, the
antipathy to the administration was so
pronounced that it would have been the
height of folly for an officeholder to at
tempt to run the gauntlet of an cleo
ton. Still, it so happened that even III
the North the slate is not entirely
clear" A number of OfficehOlding del
egates in the North are named, but the
list is not complete. the Post says. In

the statements made by the secretary in
his letter to the president recon-

"The statements made by you in your
letterto the president recommending
the withdrawal of my nomination as a
United States consul to Brunswick,
Germany, and furnished by you to the
press the goth inst, demand a prompt
answer. The remarkable tone to your
letter is no less surprising than the fact
that you now assign an entirely different
ground for my removal from that you
gave when first interrogated in my be-
half on the subject. On that occasion
you assigned as the only reason of my
removal that l had been absent without
permission delivering lectures which in
all occupied my time for but few days

SAN FRANCISCO. May 22.-The half
dozen grown children of millionaire
James P. Pierce, of Santa Clara, are
greatly exercised over the secret mar
riage of the old man, who is 70 years
old, 10 his servant, Miss Julia Neff.
The marriage took place last Tuesday,
but the facts did not become known un-
til yesterday, when Mr.. Pierce returned
to his palatial home with its new mis-
tress. A lively family row is predicted,
but as the old man is worth $1,000. 900
he will probably effect compromise.

Fixed UD

CHICAGO, May 22.-"Unless Blaine
says positively he will not accept the
nomination if it is rendered him, think
the Minneapolis convention Will choose
him.as its candidate for the preslden-
cy." 1t was in these words that John
NJ. Thurston expressed his opinion on
the Republican presidential nomination
at the Grand Pacific last night. He had
just arrived from Detroit, where he at
tended the so-called political conference
held at Gen. Ayers house. After ex-
pressing this opinion he added:
''And it makes me feel good. when I
think about the success that awaits
Blaine and the Republican party"
Theu he smiled. 1t was one of the few
smiles that have illumed the Nebraska
mans face since the publication Of the
Blaine letter. He was very happy, and
talked freely about the prospects for the
nomination of the secretary of state. He
said the meeting at the Alger residence

he ''All about the crops, the weather
and the floods. and, incidentally, about
the flood of Blaine sentiment that has

CROPS DROWNED OUT.
Ruin on Every Hand in the State

TEXARKANA, Ark, May 22.-All
traffic over the Iron Mountain north has
been indefinitely cut off. The Red
river is still rising, and several miles of
the road track has been washed away.
The town of Homan, fourteen miles
north of here, is several feet under
water; in fact the whole of the Red
river bottom is veritable sea of water
from hill to hill for distance of twenty
miles. The bridge at Fulton still
stands, and it is believed will succeed
in weathering the storm, as driftWood
has about ceased to come down. In the
cotton belt, all trains between here and
Pine Bluff are running on time. Its
tracks are also being used by the Iron
Mountain, which will go to st. Louis
via Pine Bluff and Little Rock. Parties
in from the edge of the bottom report
the water at noon today rising at the
rate of about an inch per hour. The
water is far above the highest water

THEY CUT THE LEVEE.
High-Handed Work by Citizens of
OttUmWa.

OTTUMWA, To-, May 22.-Fifty armed
citizens cut the levee at this point to-
day to save their property from the
destruction which they judged would
otherwise follow from the continually
increasing flood. AS the cutting
was calculated to injure the
property of the water company, 1t was
necessary to carry out the work at the
point of the pistol, and this the deter
mined citizens did. The city marshal
was appealed to by the company, but he
was powerless. The water company's
superintendent endeavored to check the
men in their intentions, but withdrew
when a revolver was leveleG at his
head. A dixie was soon opened in three
places, allowing the water TO escape.
Additional houses and barns were swept
away by the flood. and while no lives OF
persons have been lost, cattle and horses
were taken by the waters.
