this morning concerning the advance i'm

first time in many months the announce

vancing wool market in London Such
news we regard as significant: If this
advance abroad is sustained, firm
err prices for domestic wool may be
seen, because Of the increasing prom

in our markets recently the absence Of

GRENADA, Miss, April Rain has
poured down almost without cessation

highest overflow ever known here.
Early Wednesday morning the Yala-

of 1882, which was the highest known
here before, and it has risen fully a
foot to-day. and is still rising and still
raining. The Illinois Central railroad
has had force of men at work keeping
their bridges clear of drift for
the last twenty-four hours. The
trains are suspended south OF this
place on account of the road-bed being
washed out, and the indications are that
the night will cut travel off from the
north. Between Winona and Warden
the Big Black river and other streams
have overflowed their banks and sub

the streams are still rising. II will re-

The Truth of History.

Cleveland Leader: The talk about
Mr.. Cleveland's victory being the most
overwhelming in American history in
dulged il by some OF our super-enthusi-
astic but ill-informed Democratic con-
temporaries is highly absurd. Like
many other claims made by partisans,
1t is measure of enthusiasm rather
than of knowledge. The fact is that
10 less than seven presidents in nine
presidential elections received larger
propor,ionate majority in the electoral
college than Mr.. Cleveland will get
next month. In 1904 Jefferson had 81
per cent. of the electoral college, Mon
roe twelve years later received 81 per
cent, and on his reelection SO per cent.
jackson had 76 per cent in 1882, and
Gen. W. b. Harrison 70 per cent. eight
years later. In 1852 Pierce got So per
cent. of the electoral college, while
Lincoln for his second term had 81 per
cent. and Grant had respectively Y and
81 per cent. in 1868 and 1872. MIR.
Cleveland will probably have 26S votes
or but a trife over 60 per cent. OF the
membership OF the electoral college.

An Omaha correspondent writes as
follows concerning Evangelist B. Fay
Mills, who is soon to begin work in
Sioux City:
followed the song service and SER
mon very closely and have been trying
to analyze them to sec wherein lies the
power OF the little man over the hearts
of men and women. There is nothing
out of the ordinary in his ser1nons-in
fact as q sermonizer he is not much of a
success. He uses the smallest and
plainest words in the vocabulary with
no attempt at oratory, elegant diction
or rhetoric, nor does he make any noise.
His talks are more of conversation
than sermon, and yet they are inn
pressiye.
There ought to be nothing surprising
in the fact that preacher who confines
himself to simple, every day language
in presenting the truths of the Gospel
is meeting with success that is almost
sensational. Such preaching has the
highest authority that could be offered
the authority of the Man who first
gave the Gospel to the world. The
wonder is, not that Mills is successful
but that many other earnest, intelligent
preachers do not adopt the same meth
DDS, instead OF striving for rhetorical
effects or indulging in abstruue theolog-
ical dissertations.

LONDON, Dec. 2s-There is anxiety at
Lloyds over the non-arrival in New
York of the Cunard steamer Umbria.
which sailed from Liverpool on Dec. II
for Queenstown, sailing from Queens
town for New York on Dec. lS. The
Umbria has, therefore, been out from
Queenstown about nine days, which is
at least two days in excess of what was
expected. The great storms on the At
lantic may, it is thought, have detained
the vessel without involving any acci-
dent, but the apprehension felt is SO
serious that reinsuring has already COM
menced. Tue Umbria arrived at Liver
pool on the previous voyage Oh Dec. 10,
having left New York Dec. 3.

4 Large Number of Citizens Have Been
Stealing the City's Gas.
ToLEno, o., Dec. 2S.-A sensation
has been created by the discovery that
large number of citizens have been
stealing the city's natural gas. The
new pumps have been working for sew
.eral weeks and the trustees could not
imagine why the supply did not give
better satisfaction. They started an in
vestigation, which resulted in finding
that several large manufacturing firms
and numerous private families had Sc
cretly connected their burners to the
line. Two of the factories used as
much as 500 families would need. Two
of the thieves are members of the NUM-
cipal reform COMMITTEES, which is now
formulating code designed to give the
city better government, and one is a
well known city official. The trustees
will offer to accept settlements in pri-
vate, failure to accept which will re-
suit in suits in the courts and conse-
quent exposure.

Pierre Free Press: The Republican
party of South Dakota has taken ad-

equalizing. taxation, both in conventions
and legislation, and it will devolve up
on the coming legislature to make GER

as to cure inequalities and prevent cer-

just proportion of the public burden.
The legislature will have plenty to oc-
cupy itself with during the sixty days

ST. PAUL, Dec. 2S-In the Ramsey
county district court Judge Cornish has
filed an order and memorandum in the
case of the Bohn Manufacturing COM
pany against w. G.. Hollis ct al, officers
and members of the Northwestern Lnm-
bermen's association. The court denies
the motion for an order setting aside
and dissolving the temporary injunction
made on the 18th day Of May last. and
the order to show cause is discharged.
The plaintiff claims that the defend
ant, the Northwestern Lumber associu-
tion, has entered into conspiracy to
restrain trade and to evade the law in
this regard; to prevent every wholesale
lumber dealer from selling lum Der to
any one except members of the defend
ant association, so as to compel all re-
tail dealers to join the defendant asso-
citation and act with its members.
Plaintiff sold certain lumber to sew
eral customers within the territory of
another member of the association and
was fined by the association. and it is
proposed to punish the: plaintiff by
warning the dealers in the state not to
trade with him.
In their answer the defendant associ-
alton virtually admits the facts. After
citing the facts in the case the court
says:
If trade can be so controlled by this
association there is established barrier
between the producer and the con
sumer which cannot be passed except
upon the payment of the fixed penalty
of ~ per cent. This tax must come out
of the manufacturer, and through him
out of the labor employed by him, or il
must come out of the consumer, and il
either case it comes out of the people o.
the state without any equivalent. 1t il
to protect class Of lniddlemen, and as
sure them of their profits whether the,
sell goods or not. If this association i
successful the people of the state cal
buy goods only Of or through the loca
dealer in the locality in which the good
are to be consumed. Competition j
thus prevented and the lumber trad
controlled by the association. The re
suit would be a great monopoly in
great industry.
Trade cannot be so restrained. Th
defendants have substantially admitte
the charges made by the complaint
disclosing their real purpose. Th
answer that not all the reta
dealers of the state are members of th
association is not sufficient, as this clas
of monopoly need not be complete to /
effective.
