Another old garden flower-the mas
turtium-that had almost died out Of
remembrance came back few years
ago on a wave Of popularity and still
holds its place. The flower, in form and
color like a golden helmet pierced
through and stained with blood and
guarded by shield shaped leaf, was
thus described by Parkinson hundred
years ago: 1T is of SO great beauty and
sweetness withal that my garden of de-
light cannot be unfurnished of it, and
again the whole flower hath fine small
scent very pleasing"
A few flowers are UNIVERSAL: roses,
lilies and violetS need no election to
their sweet Office, nor has any genera
ton dared to throw aside the carnation.
These inherit their prominence, and
their nobility is something more than
the fancy of the hour.
With the advent Of each new floral
favorite comes the question of our ma

sunfiower, whose broad smile covers our
land from ocean TO ocean? Bold and
strong, it holds up its head without
fear and without reproach," for there is
no deceit in its open heart, and its gen.
erous gold is without alloy.
The mayhower has some claim, in that
it is held TO be our one historical flower,
but even if Nova Scotia had not already
appropriated it as her own emblem it
is, with all its dainty grace, hardly a
suitable accompaniment to our eagle, to
whom the sunfiower would be fit COM

Indeed it would seem, SO far as the
voice of the people has been heard, that

MILES OF LAND UNDER WATER.

A Cyclone Adds to the Horror of { the

By United Press to journal

BY United Press to Journal.
CHICAGO, May 20.-That the situation
cannot become much worse is the only
consolation left the fiood-scourged in
habitants of the Mississippi valley.
From the source of the father of wa
tiers down to La Delta the story is one of
desolation. Farmsssa are ruined, houses
swept away, lives lost, railroads idle,
human lives in danger. Such is the
history of the big flood.
Beginning at st. Cloud, north of
Minneapolis, following the Mississippi
down to KeOkuk. where the great
Egyptian levee yielded, flooding thou
sands of acres of the richest farm land
on the continent; then in succession
passing the cities of Quincy and Az
ton, where the work of the wind and
water has been disastrous, the first
great stage of the desOlate Journey
ends at ST. Louis.
On the Missouri and tributaries the
waters are abroad to greater extent
than ever known before. Throughout
the DakOtas farms are under water,
bridges carried out, railroad tracks IN
dermined. Sioux City is still engag-
ing attention, and the full story of the
deluge is not yet told.

CUT OFF FROM THE WORLD.

The city is practically cut off from
all communication with the outside
world by high water, and such is the
confusion within the city that it is very
difficult to obtain the names of the vic
Tins Of the flood. The estimates on the
loss of life vary greatly. Some say
twenty-five, while others place the es-
Inmates as high as 165. Few bodies
have been recovered as yet, and it is
doubtful if they will ever be found.
The following is the list Of those who
are given up as lost so far as was known

THE STOCKYARDS SWEPT AWAY.
The union stOckyards have been
swept away and other heavy damage
DONE The city waterworks are sur
rounded and there is great danger that
the supply will be shut off, which, with
fire and high wind blowing, would be
certain disaster. The loss to the rail
roads is estimated at 100000.
Floyd river was almost back to its
banks at noon today and hundreds are
returning to their homes, which they
were compelled to abandon yesterday.
Scores of houses were swept away from
their foundations, and others badly
wrecked.
The damage to mOvables is large,
W here houses were not tloated off.
Fifty or sixty retail stores on the low
ground were destroyed or badly dam
aged. Floyd river cut across the bend
and scooped out great channel, start
ing in about lower Eighth street. All
the houses but very few in that vicini-
ity were utterly wiped out. Railroads
and stockyards will suffer the greatest
individual losses.
THE DISASTER AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, May 19.-Word comes from
the National stockyards in East st
Louis that all the railroad tracks lead
ing to the yards were submerged to-
day, that no cattle could be got in or
out of them. Therefore there was no
market. The union stockyards on this
side of the river, however, are still in
tact.
THE COUNTRY FLOODED.
KEoKUK, IA, May 19.-The Egyptian
levee, which protects vast area of
bottom lands five miles below here,
broke this morning. The waters of
the Des Moines river flood the entire
district The high wind prevailing
will cause immense damage. The whole
Town OIL AI0AduUTld, MISSOuFi, Is COul-
pletely submerged. All the trains on
the Keokuk and Western ST. Louis,
Keokuk and Northern railways, south
of this point have been abandoned.
THE LITTLE SIOUX SPREADS.
CHERoKEE, IA, Nay 10, The LYttle
Sioux has been running bank full for
some time and the heavy and contin-
uous rain of Tuesday sent the river
over the bottom lands. The river this
evening was still rising. Some of the
smaller buildings have been carried
away. The damage to crops in the
Little Sioux valley will be very great.
The Illinois Central tracks are badly
washed away north, east and west of
this city. The city pumping works
are under water, and the city is threat
ened with water famine.
The Des Moines river has risen ten
inches, and is still rising. All the low
lands are under water and hundreds of
houses have been abandoned.

Thess. O'Neal Released From Jail.

Thess. O'Neal, the man that killed Joe
England, a fireman on the Georgia Pa
cific railroad last week, was released
from Jail Tuesday ON bond of 81 900.
The facts in the case are familiar to
the public. England had frequently
visited the home of O'Neal, and at
tempted to force his attentions upon his
wife.
had f equently warned him to stay away.
England's refusal to do this resulted in
O'Neal's blowing his brains out.
SAYS IT IS UNSUITABLE.
Tuesday morning the attorneys for
O'Neal appeared before Judge Richard
Clark and made application for bail.
Accompanying their application was a
letter from Solicitor Charlie Hill.
The letter stated that he had carefully
investigated the facts in the case and
could see nothing like murder in it. and
doubted very much if a true bill would
be found by the grand jury.
Judge Clark, after considering the
case, fixed the bond at 81 900, and Mr..
w. NJ. Scott and O'Neaps father signed
it and O'Neal was released from jail.
O'Neal left the Jail unaccompanied by
his father, aud started immediately to
see his wife.
He said that he had never felt the
slightest anxiety about himself, and had
worried only about his wife.
