THE lNsATIATE MISSOURI
Engu1fing the Prosperous Little City Of
winthrop, Mo-, in It's Turgid Channel.

EnguIfing the Prosperous Little City Of
winthrop, NO., in Its Turgid Channel.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 3.--As a direct
result of the high water in the Mis-
souri, river, which viii not begin to re-
cede for some time, the once prosper
GUS village of Winthrop, thirty miles
south of st. Joseph on the Rock Island,
Hannibal q st. Joseph, Missouri Pacific
and Kansas City, st. Joe & Council
Bluffs railroads, will soon be wiped off
the face of the earth.
The Missouri river when it first be-
gan its spring rise this year, began
cutting the bank at the edge of the
town and adjacent to it, and to-day
half the place has melted into the river,
together with half dozen farms Of 100
acres each. The channel Of the river
was half mile west Of Winthrop last
year, but to-day that channel is sand
bar and the new channel occupies what
was once the main street Of the village.
Assisted By the citizens, the railroad
companies have been spending thou.
sands Of dollars in an effort TO stop the
cutting of theriver, but the efforts have
been in vain, and the work has been
given up. The water is now within few
rods Of the tracks Of the four compan-
les which run parallel to each other at
that point, and is rapidly eating it's
way into the railroad right Of way.
All four companies are preparing to
abandon their roadbeds and enter
Atchison from a point further north.
In such an event the 500, 900 railroad
bridge connecting winthrop and Atchi-
son viii be abandoned. Winthrop,
which was a town Of 1900 people, has
already lost most Of its population, and
as the houses cannot be sold they are
being torn down and carried into the
country. The work Of demolition Of the
Methodist church, structure which
cost $4,000 q year ago, is now going
on. It having been sold TO farmer for
$50. Farmers who owned farms valued

cRIPPLE cREEK TROUBLES.

Bankers Removing Their Money from the
Turbulent Town-The Situation Stated.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, june 2.-An
order has been issued for special ses-
sion of the grand jury on June 8 be-
cause of the Cripple Creek affair. The
Cripple Creek banks, fearing a raid,
have shipped to this city and stored in
safety deposit vaults 500, 900.
Army officers believe that it will be
necessary to call out the United States
troops to quell the insurrection. They
believe the strikers cannot be dis
lodged from Bull hill by charging upon
the mountain, but that twill be neces-
sary to shell their stronghold. Mining
attorneys have advised the mine owners
to call upon President Cleveland for
regular troops under the statute giving
the president power to protect the peo-
pie and their rights when the state
authorities refuse or fail to do so.
NO APPLICATION FOR TROOPS.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-If the Colora-
do people rely upon the national gov
ernment to use it's military forces
against the Cripple Creek strikers with
out application in due form from the
governor or legislature, they viii be
sorely disappointed. Although no ap-
plications for federal Intervention have
yet come to the war department, they
will be absolutely without result if
they do come. The reason, as explained
at the war department, is that there is
no authority to be found in law for fed
eral action. The issues involved are
regarded as purely state and not ma
tional in their present aspect

Opinion or Attorney General Little an Re
gard TO the Question.
TOPEKA. Kan, June 2.-There has
been for some time good deal Of diff
ference Of opinion among lawyers and
school teachers in regard to the power
of school districts in the matter of uni
formity of text books II. n. Gains,
state superintendent Of public instrnc-
ton. recently referred the question to
the attorney-general, who rendered an
opinion i'm part as follows:
Section 5S64 provides that school districts
may, at their annual meetings, indicate by
majority Of all the votes cast their desire for
county uniformity OF text books. Section 1856
provides that when majority Of all the dis
tricts OF the county in any one year shall indi-
cate their desire for a county uniformity Of
text books, the county superintendent Of public
instruction shall notify the district Of such
vote and at the same time call for one dele
gate from each municipal township and city
Of the third class in the county, to be elected
at meeting OF the school boards Of such
township. Section $50 provides that a
county text book board may be elected every
five years in each county in the manner pre-
that when uniformity Of text books shall be
adopted in any county, in pursuance Of this
act, no change shall be made in such county
for period Of five years from the date OF adop-
tlOn Vi any pareAcuAdr series VI eoAb DOohS-
take it that where a majority of the dis
tricts decide In favor Of uniformity of text
books, then the superintendent calls for an
election and a text book board is elected.
That when this board meets and adopts a Sc
ries of text books it's power ceases, and that
such series so adopted shall be kept In use
for period OF five years. without any change,
and at the expiration of said five years the
superintendent Of public instruction has no
power to cause another text book board to be
elected without again submitting the PROPOSE
ton to the county,

FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Opinion of Attorney-General Little Re-
rardinr Their Liability for Losses.

Opinion of Attorney-General Little Re-
garding Their Liability for Losses.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.-Attorney-
General Little has rendered an opinion
in regard to the custom of certain fire
insurance companies of limiting their
liability to three-fourths of the actual
value of the property insured, which
win no doubt benefit policy holders as
well as companies.
whenever any policy of insurance
is written to insure any real property
against loss by fire, lightning or tor
nado, and the property insured is
wholly destroyed without criminal
fault on the part of the insured, or his
assigns" the Encouragement says,
''the amount of insurance written
in such policy is to be
taken conclusively to be the
true value of the property insured,
and an insurance company cannot
limit its liability to three-fourths Of
the actual value of the property stated
in the policy. If the company desires
to limit it's liability to three-fonrths of
its actual value, it can only do so by
writing insurance to an amount equal
to three-fourths of the actual value of
the property"

HER DARK sEcRET.
A Tale Of How Two Hearts and Two BoRrt
Bill Were Made One.

A Tale of How Two Hearts and Two BoRrd
Bnl Were Made One.
She was as fair as the day and as
stately as the night and beautiful be-
yond the dream of any poet.
He was strong and brave as any
knight that ever jousted on the plain;
superb and handsome as the sculptured
gods of Greece.
1t happened by propitious fate, that
sometimes brings the brave and beauti-
full together, that these two mortal
paragons each had fashionable suite
of rooms in the most fashionable hotel
of the most fashionable city of all the
land
1t is really not much use to finish this
story. The reader is shrewd and knows
thing or two, and has read novels be-
fore, and knows already how this thing
is coming out.
But suffice it to say they met, and
they loved with an unutterable and in
finite devotion.
Darling" said he-not at once, Of
course; he was no grump like that
but like to get at the denouement of
story at the beginning and get it out
of the way. Darling said he, when
the proper time had arrived, 'I love
you beyond expression, with devo-
tion that can never end. Be mine, OH
say that you will be miner'
A look of ineffable sadness, of inf
mite grief came into her azure eyes.
Harold" she said, You know not
what you ask. There is a dead secret
in my life, which, if you knew, you
would spurn me from thee like dead
~ thing"
"Tell me the secret, darling" said
he, ''and / swear by my honor / will
love thee all the MORE
Harold, my own, I will be frank and
tell thee. III owe three months
bill for my suite of rooms in this hotel"
He looked into her lustrous eyes with
an expression of increased endearment.
'Sibyl, my darling said he, 80 do
l. We owe the sordid landlord two
large bills. Let us wed and make the
two bills one.
"Oh, my hearts lovef'' she cried.
"Oh, my hero, my inancierF' and she
threw herself into his arms
Thus two loving hearts and two
growing hotel bills were beautifully
merged into one.--Yanlxee Blade.

The Signs Somewhat More Cheering Tor
Busfness-Ra failures Of the Week.
NEW YORK, June Pr. G. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade says:
It is 8 sign OF cheering import that in finished
business, represented By clearIngS and rail-
way tonnage, there has been less decrease since
the strike began than might have been ex-
pected But in inehoate business, the orders
which start the wheels, to result IN tonnage
and payment weeks or months later, there
seems to be an actual decrease. Meanwhile.
the consequent interruption OF traff1e and In
dustry increases. The stoppage OF irou fur
naces between the Allegheny mountains and
the Mississippi river has become complete. and
a great number OF concerns manufacturing
iron. and others requiring soft coal or coke IS
fuel have been compelled to stop.
Though a large number Of works are idle,
the demand for products Is not what might be
expected, either In volume or in urgency.
The output Of iron and steel has been suddenly
and sharply reduced, but the reduced supply
seems about as sufficient for the demand as
it was month ago, except In Bessemer.
Sales Of small lots Of Bessemer pig
at places as distant as West Troy and
Duluth for transportation to the Carnegie
works near Pittsburgh disclose how complete
ly stocks are exhausted, and sales for delivery
in July and August at S11 and S11.15 price e1.50
higher than prevailed a few weeks ago, tndi-
Gates belief that the termination of the strike
win not soon bring back the old prices. But
for most products. Notwithstanding the inter-
ruption, the demand is unexpectedly narrow,
and buyers feel that the present advance is
but temporary.
