A FESTIVE DRUMMER
He Was Good Looking
and Accomplished,
HIS SECRET DIvuLGED
And He Gathers His Ready Money and
Leaves For Parts Unknown.

PALMER, Mass, May 2.-M. ID. Nichol-
son, a tall, good looking young man Of
about 30 came here about year ago as
agent of the Rutland Marble company,
and canvassed the country for orders for
headstones and other marble work. With
him was his wife, comely blonde, who
did dressmaking.
Nicholson was good violonist and was
soon at the head of the local orchestra,
which was much in demand for entertain
ments Every few weeks he would 20 to
Rutland on business for the company, and
his wife always remained here.
After while 1t was hinted that he had
Another Wife In Rutland,
pnd finally a Palmer lady, travelling on
the cars, met Rutland lady, and In talk
Ing of people in the two places 1t was
learned there were two Mrs. Nicholsons,
one music teacher, the other the dress
maker in Palmer.
Shortly afterward drummer, while
standing in local hotel Office, asked the
name of couple passing, and was told
they were Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson. That
could not be, he said, as he knew Mrs.
Nicholson in Rutland well, and imme-
diately asked Nicholson what it meant.
Nicholson left for Rutland after giving
out that he had been
Left An Estate by His Mother,
and that to inherit II he must live on tho
property certain length of time, Mean
while the Palmer Mrs. Nicholson had dis
appeared.
One day letter came for Mrs. u. d.
Nicholson; it was forwarded to Rutland,
and then the whole thing came out. The
letter was from the brother and sister Of
the Palmer wife in England, asking her to
meet them in New York.
Nicholson took 5000 In cash left him by
his mother, decided the rest of his property
to his Rutland wife, and left for parts un-
known. hether the Palmer woman
knew his true character or not is not
known

THE RISING FLOODS
People Homeless and
Property Wrecked.
NEARING THE DANGER LINE.
The City of st. Louis in Danger and
the Mississippi's Banks 0verAown.

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-All last night the
river roso Ut the rate Of almost an inch an
hour, and this morning the swell touched
the danger line-32 feet. The current In
running swiftly, and the heavy swell IL
causing great anxiety To owners OF ware
houses and stores ON the east side OF the
river
In the northern part Of the city residents
of houses and storekeepers along the levee
are moving their goods to upper floors.
The squatters on the lowlands have been
driven out Of their cabins.
Along the levee the water is up to the
railroad tracks and is gradually forcing it's
way toward the stores that line the front
of the city. The
storekeepers Have Taken Warning
and are moving their goods to places OF
safety. Experienced and conservative
river men predict that the food will ex-
ceed that of last year.
On the east side of the river from Alton
to East St. Louis the food has already
caused great damage. At Altonwood the
river has overflowed Its banks, damaging
the Equitable powder mill and throwing
the bridge of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad out of line, 30 that 1t can
not be safely used.
At East st. Louis the river has filled
Cahokia creek, and it Is now running flush
with the sewers. The race track is but q
few feet above water. Many stables have
had to be abandoned on account Of high
water.
Reports received from south of here
show that all the rivers In southern Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, southern Illinois, Ken.
lucky and Tennessee are on the rampage
and pouring heavy volumes of water into
the Mississippi
At Fort Smith, Ark, traffic on the
Frisco road south from the city is sus-
pended. At one place 40 feet of trestle has
been washed away, and 1t Is hard to tell
when traffic will be resumed.
VanBuren, Ark, reports that not q
last Saturday. Three bridges and several
embankments
Have Been Washed Away.
At Pine Bluff, Ark, the river Is within
four feet of last years high water mark
and is steadily rising.
Advices from southern Missouri and
northeastern Arkasas are to the effect that
the third food this year In the White and
Black rivers is now pouring down In those
streams and doing great damage to all
kinds of p operty A large part of Poplar
Bluff, on both sides of the Black river, Is
submerged, and people have been obliged
to abandon their homes.
The Iron Mountain railway track has
been washed out in several places at tho
bottom lands along both White and Black
rivers and is flooded for scores of miles and
all crops are greatly damaged or wholly
destroyed.
At Steelville, on the Maramec river, In
Crawford county, No., water poured
through the main streets four feet deep,
flooding houses, and people had 60 Be
taken from their homes on horseback.
The branch of the st. Louis and San
Francisco RAILWAY between Steelville and
Salem, which runs through an iron min
ing region, is washed out In dozen
places, bridges have been swept away and
it will take 10 days or more to repair it.
