THE FLOOD $ COST.
Fifty Million from Kansas City
to New Orleans,
And the Estimate is Considered
Conservative.

Half Million Acres of Wheat and Corn
Destroyed in Missouri Alone - EST
mates of the Great Damage Done IA,
Gathered from Reliable Sources in the
Afflicted Districts.
ST. LOUIS, June 3.-Now that the
great flood of 1899 has begun to pass
away, an estimate of the losses oc
casioned thereby has been made from
statistics gathered from various boards
of trade, exchanges, etc, throughout the
afflicted district. Where exchange
figures could not be obtained, estimates
from reliable correspondents have been
utilized and the total is appalling, reach
ing 500, 300, 900, as follows
Missouri-Wheat and corn destroyed
600, 900 acres, sic, 200, 900; homes ruined
81 900, 900; cattle drowned $50, 600; rail
road property destroyed, $150,000; total
$11 100000.
Tennessee - Cotton loss, 100000
wheat loss, 81 100000 homes and cattle
100000; total, 81 100000.
ADMINISTRATORS inundated 9,33S
loss as follows: Corn, -, 500, 900; cotton
$5,000,000; other products, $2,500,000
total, $10,000,000.
Mississippi's loss, $4,000, 900; Louis
iana's loss, S., 900, 900; Kentucky's loss,
5000, 900; total loss, $20, 300,0 900.
This estimate does not include stagna-
ton in business among the merchants
and transportation lines.
A conservative estimate of the amount
of damage caused by the loss from the
high waters from Kansas City to New
Orleans will reach the enormous figure
of $50, 100000.

out are not true Drs. Hysell and Ack-

charge, say that there are not over
twenty-seven cases of the disease in the
Pomeroy Bend, and are confident thai
there will not be over half a dozen new
ones. The disease is of the mildest form
known to the medical profession and
only one death has yet resulted from it.
1t is expected that it will be wiped out
in about two weeks.
Minersville, town three miles above,
has one case, that of Mrs. Hughes, wife

mll1tlaman lay in the gutter until picked
up by civilians, and Lieutenant Hopfner
went on his way, followed by the jeers
of the crowd.
On the next morning the Speyer Ga
zette contained brief account of the
occurrence. During the day the bitter
ness of the citizens increased alarmingly
and Editor Wolff received numerous
letters demanding that Hopfner should be
court-martialed and that the press
should call attention to his brutalness in
order that he would be disgraced. On
the following morning Editor Wolff re-
sponded by publishing an elaborate item
upon Hopfner's conduct and charging
him with cowardly and disgraceful be-
havior.
Hcpfner, accompanied by Lieutenant
Dietl, started for VOLTS house at about
dinner time, with the avowed intention of
Furnishing the editor severely and forcing
him to retract and apologize in his
journal. Wolff received notice in adj
vance Of their intentions, and when they
called he was mot at home" Hopfner
and Dietl, however, forced the door
open, pushed aside the servant and,
having drawn their swords, began

found him at his desk, as he had not yet
been informed that they We're in the
building, Hopfner demanded an i'm
mediate apology, threatening instant
vengeance should it be denied. Wolff
refused to apologize, and when the Off
GERS tried to force him to the wall he
fought them back, AS Hopfner raised
his sword to strike, Wolff snatched re-
volver from his desk and shouted to
Hopfner:
''StOp, or l will shoot"
Hopfner and Dietl We're completely
cowed by " Offs evident determination
to kill the first man who touched him
and they backed hurriedly out of the
room. Wolf followed them to the
street.
He then went to the municipal police
and reported the outrage, at the same
time sending notice of the affair to the
commander Of the garrison.
The apology demanded by the two
lieutenants has not appeared in the
Syeyer Gazette and the people of the
city are determined to support Editor
Wolf in case any further demand for it
be made The whole city is in an up
roar over the affair and immediate ac-
ton on the part Of the commander is
generally called for.
