The Thieving Missouri.

ATCHIsoN, Kan, May 2s.-During the
forty-eight hours ending at o'clock
yesterday evening the Missouri river
has risen nearly feet at this point.
The rise was very sudden and great
damage is being done to property in the
vicinity of East Atchison. During past
twelve hours the stream has cut away
nearly 200 feet of adjoining land near
that town. and the work of destruction
continues. The town of East Atchison
has been protected heretofore by q
strip of land known as the point
and which extended for several yards
into the river. This point" has been
cut away. however. and the main cur
rent of the stream strikes the town al.
most directly from the north. 1t will
probably be only a question of a few
hours until the current has full sway
at East AtchisOn from this direction.
and then no power on earth can save
the place from being swept away Q
Just north of East Atchison there are
three lines of railroad paralleling each

is probable that trains will be COM

PORTLAND, Ore, May 2s.-The entire

disastrous flood caused by melting
snow in the mountain ranges. The
Willamette in this city is now % feet

hours the Columbia has risen feet,
which means foot and half rise at
this point during the next twenty-four
hours. The water yesterday reached
Front street and all day long merchants
on the water front were moving goods
to upper stories. In Albina many small
houses on the flats are under water and
the occupants have moved to higher
grounds.
The Spokane river and C9ur d Alene
are higher than ever before known, and
immense damage has already been done
to railroad property in western Wash
ington and northern Idaho. All rivers
and streams flowing into Puget sound
are swollen, many of them beyond their
banks. The damage to railroad prop
erty and farming land is very heavy.

for reelection to congress from the
Seventh district of Kansas he seems to

tributiug his defeat not only to tho
revolutionary spirit SO prevalent in the
country, but to the eXtrayagant eXpen-
diture of doodle.
Mr.. Simpson says That he is for any
party or combination that can defeat
the republicans. They are responsible,
he says, for tho present state OF affairs
in the country. He admits the fact
h a the popular sentiment of the coun.
try has been controlled and influenced
against democracy IN account of the
precipitation of hard times just as the
democratic party came into power.
Not so much, says Mr.. Simpson, wa il
a blow at democracy as "a disposition
of restlessness and a desire on the part
of the people for relief from OPP
preston and for a restor-
alton of confidence. and prosperity.
The country is indeed III a deplorablo'
condition." he continued, land while
there is bound to be some Improvement,
| do not look for easy times for the
next two years. The recent republican
landslide was rather expected by many
people, and upon the whole may have
a good effect in reminding them there
is a growing tendency toward political
independence, Inc hat the blind love
for party is becoming IA thing of the
past. What the people want
is prosperity in the coun.
try, and until that is restored
the great pendulum rejecting public
sentiment will continue to swing from
n side to the other. There are many
serious problems to be solved. Chief
among them are the great labor and
finance questions. The rapid improve.
ment in machinery, in agriculture n.

fact makes it necessary for the labor
ing man in some way to ally himself

John w. Hayes. who led the revolt

laboring people throughout the coun-

whether this government cherished

made reply in substance that ID re-

scarcely be an adequate basis for dip

did not believe Mr.. Thurston made any
such statement as that alleged, and
thai the government did desire To sub

from any desire to roo ont or modest

Since the adoption Of the constitu-
ton of the republic the tons of the

exclusion of Japanese, as such, from

NEW YORK, Nov. III. NJ. Irwin,

He said: "As for Zimmerman retiring

he will race, and when he ~retires IL
will be when he feels his physical
nerves giving way. lie is the cycling
wonder of the age, and there is cer-
tainly no man in the world who can
beat him"
How much did Zimmerman make on

THAT cannot be said, although he
had the most tiattering guarantees. l
should say that he cleared between

"llow does cycling on on the other
side compare with the sport in this
corntry?'
y well, all in all, cycling is further
advanced there than 1t is here. Great
crowds turn out at the races and the
liveliest interest is manifested in the
contests. zimmerman was treated
splendidiy wherever he went, and
when we started in n race It was al
ways Zimmerman first, with the others
simply fighting for second, third and
fourth places. Zimmerman, | am con-
WINGED, will not start in the twenty

that both husband and wife speak most

south Dakotu Soldiers Home.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. d., Nov. l3.-Par-
ties who have recently visited the state
soldiers home report that everything
Is running smoothly there. The en-
rollment shows 1870 old soldiers pres
ent. This is a pretty large number for
n new state like South Dakota, and
still there arc many applications on
file that have not yet been acted upon.
1t takes IA strong certificate of disabil-
ity from tho surgeon to gain admit
lance, except ia the cases of men 65 to
20 years old. One veteran admitted
last week was 81 years of age. Since
the opening of the home there have
been twenty-threc deaths, and six of
those since July 1 last. This is owing
to the broken down condition OF tho
men being sent there. Over 1000 peo-
pie have registered as visitors since tho
beginning of the year, but as half ID
those who enter the building do not
segister, 1t Is u conservative estimate
that $500 people visit the institution
each year. A visit to tho home proves
that South Dakota takes the best Of
care OF its gallant old veterans.

GRESHAM - INDIGNANT.
bsnies There Wss Underground Ensou
pent to Bering Sea Attorueys.

bsnies There Wss Underground EuSour
msnt to BerinE Sea Attorneys.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Secretary
Gresham Is very much displeased over
the publication In republican papers of
= story charging an underground up.
,repriatiQn Of $4,000 each for Attor-
aeys PheRs and Carter of the Bering
Tea tribunal.
A former attache Of the department.
If state, who is now the correspondent
pf a Chicago newspaper, and who has
iaken particular pains to misrepsent
the state department on every possible
occasion, Is the author of the story.
For those who have not seen it., it
may be summarized to the effect that
Secretary Gresham obteined by a letter
written during the closing hours of
the last session of congress an appro-
prialion of 5000, which was divided
between ex-Minister Phelps aud j. c.
Carter, attorneys for this government
before the Boring sea tribunal.
In the story Is published what pur-
ports TO be a letter 10 Senator Coclkrell,
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations, asking for IN appro-
priation. No other explanation of
the conditions is given, aud the affair
Is SO stated AS to make 1t seem that At
torney Blodgett Of Chicago and Coude,t
of New York, as we'll AZ the special
agent of this government, ex-Secretary
John W.. Foster, have not been duly
paid for their services.
In the first place Secretary Gresham
claims that his letter has been COM
ple,ely garbled and only partially
printed.
The letter in full explains the case,
shows that Attorneys Phelps and Carter
were earliest engaged upon the work,
made many trips 10 Washington, and
were longer detained abroad than the
Others interested in the case. Mr..
Coudert was only engaged late in the
matter and wa himself an instigator
in obtaining increased pay for the two
gentlemen in question.
Ex-Secretary Foster was never an at
torney Of this government, but was
sent as a special agent and received the
fun compensation agreed upon. The
whole matter assumes an entirely diff
fcrent light when all of the facts are
known, and this story is only an
other case of Misrepresentation, OF
which 80 much has emanated from the
same source,
