SAN ANTONIO, Sept. The scenes
of destruction and desoiation in the
flooded district, 100 miles cast and west
of here. and extending south from the
Southern Pacific road to the Rio Grsnde,
200 miles away. is simply terrible.
Thousands upon thousands of Rores OF
pasture and farm land are under wIyter.
1t 10 estimated the damage to crops in
the valley of Leona river alone, VAL
reach half q million dollars. In the
valley OF the Saco and Sabinal, the
leases will be fully as much. Many
thousands of cattle, horses and sheep
were swept away. 1t is still mat
ter of uncertainty as to the number
of lives lost, but the additions to the list
OF drowned are constantly being made.
Half the hounes in Uvalde, a town of
2S00 people, were carried away, and there
ia much suffering there among the home
less families. Nothing has yet been
heard from a settlement OF rs fami-
lies several miles below Uvalde. but there
are still grave fears that many, il not all
OF them, were swept down the current,
Batesville was inundated and there was
heavy loss of property. There are sew
ersl other towns in the flooded districts,
away from railroad and tslegraphic
reach.

Tom Buckley was working on the
spring roundup in the employ OF ono OF
the large cattle outfits in southeastern
Montana. While riding through
clump of brush one day hunting cattle
full grown silver tip bear suddenly
arose and confronted him. The only
weapon at hand was his lariat, and with
visions of juicy bear steak for the boys
at supper around the mess wagon that
night and a fine rug for the pretty
schoolmarm he quickly loosened his
rope and threw it. A few turns over
the saddlehorn, at the same time spur
ring his horse, and the shock came.
1t was very severe, for unluckily the
bears fore leg as well as his head was
through the loop of the rope. Tom was
about to drop the rope like hot cake
when his horse Suddenly put his head
down and started bucking in true
broncho style.
Thomas didn't last long. He suffered
when he struck the ground, but he didn't
linger in the vicinity to ascertain the
extent of his injuries. He started for
the top of butte close at hand, and, al
though an Indifferent sprinter, he man
aged to make very fair time.
Looking back from his position OF
comparative safety, he could see that
both animals had become entangled in
the rope and were having it out in great
style, making frantic efforts to free
themselves. The rope finally parted,
and away they went in opposite direc-
tions, or, as he expressed it, "they quit
the country, hitting only the high
spots. Chicago Record.

The Kolbltes Resolve That Oates ehal
Not Be Governor.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 13.-In tn
Kolb convention last night heated
wrangle arose over the question Of re-.
christening the party, which in the par
tial report from the special committee,
has been dubbed the Peoples and JET
fersonian party. The result of the argu-
ment was that the convention of Jeffsr-
sonians and Populists resolved them
selves into a national Peoples party.
Chairman Skaggs OF the committee on
resolutions read q report which stated
the committee had ample proof that
Kolb was elected last August and had
been counted out.
DIR. Grow OF Perry county paced up
and down the aisles and declared be
should be seated. even if bloodshed
we're necessary. and that on Dscem ber
1st the Populists and Republicans
should meet at Montgomery, and if the
state military interfered with them
there would be enough men on hand to
handle them. These revolutionary sen.
timents were backed up in stout talks
by number of men until ShagRs finally
resumed reading the report, which went
on to say the evidence was at haud to
prove the fraudulent election of Cover
nor.elect Oates, and if the legislature
did not right the wrong the federal con-
gress would be called upon, and q force
bill demanded, if necessary.
The convention adjourned sine die,
after adopting the report. Not a sug-
gestion as to double- -barreled legisla-
ture or government is contained in the

A WELL EARNED REST.

DR.. Parkhurst's Farishioners Oner Him
Vacation.
New YORK. Nov. 13.-The session OF
the Madison Square sbyterian church
has decided to give Rev. DR.. G. II.
Parkhurst q vacation from his duties as
pastor until January 1st. DR.. Park
hurst's co-workers in the Madison
Square church realize the full extent of
the prodigious labors which the fearless
preacher has performed and the drain
on his nervous forces, which has not by
any means been stopped because the
election resulted as it did. The church
officers say that il ever rest WAS earned,
DR.. Parkhurst has earned one. 1t is
not known, however, whether DR..
Parkhuret will accept the offer OF the
session or not. He has always ex-
presBsd the feeling that the church
year wan too short at best, and he may
be un willing to cut it shorter, notwith'
ata nding the evident fact that he needs
the vacation.
DR.. Parkhurst is expected back from
Lakewood on November Goth to address
a union meeting OF the young mems go
cieties of the New York and Brooklyn
churches, which is to be held at Madison
Square church. On the next evening,
November eth, dinner in his honor
will be given under the auspices of the
officers of the City Vigilance league.
Covers will be laid for 500 guests. This
dinner, and the meeting at the Madison
Square church on the previous evening,
will he of special interest as being DR..
Parkhurst's fret reappearance in public
after the election.
In case DR.. Parkhurst does accept the
offer OF vacation made by the church
session, his pulpit will probably be filled
part of the time by we'll known minis
ters OF the city and part of the time by

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 13.-Ex-

Cleveland's first term, when questioned
about the causes that led to the defeat

said: 1.-THE people have Iebuked the
Democratic party; not for what that
party did, but for the way it did it. Our
party is divided into two squads. and
the squads fell to fighting and abusing
each other as if they we're contending
against foes and conspirators, instead Of
being friends and striving to outdo each
other in battling for common cause.
This unseemly spectacle among our
leaders had a confusing and depressing
effect upon our rank and file, for such
conduct of leaders is as disastrous in
politics as it would be in war. The re.

HELENA, Mont. Nov. l3.-By far the

was witnessed last night when Helena
formally celebrated her election as the

was bower of bunting. All the fire.

a bonfire blazed from the highest peak
OF Mount Helena, which could be seen
many miles. Most of the bands and
marching clubs of the state were here.
There were arches with notices over
the principal streets and the buildings
were aglow with lights and flags. In
the procession were all sorts of unique
and fantastic transparencies. The pro.
cession started about 8 o'clock and
marched for nearly two hours. It was
the longest cavalcade ever seen in the
state.

"
Two Republican Candidates Counted Out
at Kansas City.
KANSAS Cry, No.. Nov. 13.-The
voters Of all parties received shock to-
day. From election day until now they
all believed w. 7. Jameson, Republican.
and W. A. Sloan. Republican, had been
elected prosecuting attorney and county
marshal, respectively. The returns, as
announced by the recorder OF votes. said
so. but the official returns give different
results, which turn Jamieson's plurality
of 1858 in the city to plurality OF 32 for
j. II. Bremmerman, Democrat. This
sudden change caused amazement; but
CONSERVATION struck the town when the
announcement that Sloan's before un-
questioned plurality had dwindled away
and the count actually gave Joseph
Keshler, Democrat, SO plurality.
Justices Shannon and Hawthorne
completed the comparison of the vote
yesterday, according to law, and found
NO change from the result before an
nounced, except in Bremmerman's
count, who was credited with an extra
hundred because of q wrong addition.
This, however, has no effect excepting
to Lessen Jamieson's plurality. Until
the official announcement wGs made
these two justices would have stsked
their lives the Republican candidates
were elected. Nobody knows how it all
happened. There are loud cries of fraud.
The Star independently, a conserva-
tive paper, publishes q scare head de.
claring the election has been "Stolen."
The Journal (Rspublican) declares
the boldest of frauds has bsen sprung at
the last moment. Justice Hewthore
has wired the secretary that the returns
have been manipulated. and advising
him not to issue commissions to Brem-
norman and Keshler. County Clerk
Caldwell has issued certificates of elec-
tion to Bremmermsn and Keshler.
