through Tuna valley. Twenty streets
contiguous to the creek are inundated

forced to flee.
The east and west branches of the
Tuna are both transformed into good
sized rivers
Below Foreman street, at the con-
fluence of the tw 0 streams. the flood
is a quarter of a mile wide and is
high enough to ruin all the carpets in
the houses on Hilton and other streets
in the lower part of the Sixth ward.
The Douglas dam is partly torn away.
Weaver's ice house is in ruins.
The North street bridge is gone and
several railroad and street bridges
are in danger. The railroad people
are holding down their bridges with
heavily loaded cars. In the Sixth
ward twenty families were taken out
of their houses iu boats, and on Clar-
ence River and Hilton streets a rescue

more.

A COWARDLY ACT.
"A Mob of Masked Men Call a Miner Out
and Kill Him.

and Kill Him.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 21.-The
striking miners at Pratt mines are
held responsible for a cowardly as
sassination which occurred at that
place yesterday morning. A mob of
masked men went to the house of
Walter Glover, a miner who has re-
fused to be called out, telling him
they were officers and wanted to see
him. Glover opened his door, when
volley was fired. Glover's body was
riddled with bullets and he died in
stantly- His bed, wherein slept sew
era1 children, was also riddled, but
the children escaped by fleeing from
the house.
The mob fed, closely pursued by
deputy sheriffs. who were armed with
rifles. A running fight followed for
half mile. One of the murderers
fell, evidently wounded, but the 9TH
ers lifted him up and the entire party
escaped to the woods.

Held Up by Masked Men.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, May ga. R.
Fuller, the Missouri Pacific night
operator at the independence main
line depot, had lively experience
with four highwaymen early Sunday
morning. After confiscating the cash
in the depot till, SIS 80, the robbers
forced open a refrigerator car, into
which they showed the iuekless oper-
ator. then left him to his fate. After
three hours in his prison, he managed
to break a hole through the side of
the ear, and his cries for help arrested
the attention of a passing freight
train crew, who released him.

THOMPSON'S CROOKEDNESS
The Ex-Cashier Hypothecated Sedalia
School Bonds Ordered Cancelled.

School Bonds Ordered Cancelled.
SEDALIA, No, May Elm 1888 the
board of education had issued $40, 900
of per cent bonds, later calling them
inland putting out others in their stead.
The old bonds were not destroyed
and Cashier Thompson, of the defunct
First National bank, in whose hands
they were put, placed them among
his private papers. When the oppor-
tunity arrived, Thompson, it is now
claimed, hypothecated them with
Kansas City, Newark, N. j., and West
Chester, Pa, capitalists and bankers.
The cashier kept all knowledge of
the transaction from the public, pay
ing the interest on the coupons as it
fell due. The holders of these bonds
will not lose anything, it is said, as
they will be able to recover the full
amount. 1t is said that government
detectives are close on Defaulter
Thompson's trail, and that his arrest
is only question of few days

DIVERSIFIED EARNING.

It would seem, that except under
certain conditions, and then only for
a very limited period, is it probable
that wheat will rise in price much
above its present low level of value.
After analyzing all the many infu-
ences that have contributed to bring
ing wheat down to a new level of val
ue, it would seem as if there was lit
tie use in making any calculations on
better prices, and the best plan is to
make preparations to abandon wheat
raising, as it does net now pay the
cost of production,
What is best under the circum-
stances, is therefore, a natural ques
ton, and to this we hear and can give
but one answer, viz: diversity your
farming" If we are to judge by the
experience of other and older commu-
mites this is good advice, and as it is
seemingly the only means of our fl
na1cial salvation, there seems to be
nothing left to consider but as to the
best method Of accomplishing the
change. ~
In our present financial straits,
through the loss of our one and only
source of revenue the wheat crop
for two successive years, anything that
requires capital is simply out of the
question, and hence any move that
is to be advised or made must be with
a view of gradually changing the
present methods.
It would seem, under existing cir
cumstances, that our farmers must
change their ideas as we'll as their
methods of farming. In the first
place each farmer must consider his
farm as a little world of itself-rely
upon it as the only source from which
the supplies needed for every day
wants are to be obtained, depend on
it for supplying family needs, and lay
plans, shape work and direct efforts
to produce nine-tenths of all he con-
sumes. When our farmer plans to
raise that which will supply his own
needs, he has solved the problem of
| an independent living, and when he
can plan to raise surplus, he has
discovered the secret of getting ahead
in the world. The idea we wish to
impress is, to endeavor to ensure a
living, by raisinga little of everything.
For two years past our farmers have
staked everything on wheat crop and
lost and they must, therefore, run no
more hazards, especially as even with
a good crop there is no assurance of
making expenses, let alone anything
else.
