 WASHINGTON, June 1.-According to off cial letters received at the navy department to-day the damage to the Columbis result ing from striking an obstruction on her trial trip appears to bs much more serious than at first reported. It seems that no less than twelve of her sheathing plates are badly wrenched, that the cement must be removed in order that the inner hull and distorted frames may be straightened.

MT. Owens Makes an Editor Suppress
 

ScurrilOus Letter. LOUISVILLE, June INV. O. Owens, Breckinridge's opponent, went to the efice of The Blue Grass Blade in Lexington, and compelled the suppression of letter which charged him with gray act eof im- morality.
 It recites that while speaker of the Ken. lucky legislature he had been intimate with certain women in Frankfort, and also that he was 8 habitual gambler. The letter purported to be from L.. Jett of George town, where Owens lived, but no such man is known there.
 MT. Owens said the letter was lie out of whole cloth, but that while he made no threats, he would hold both the writer and publisher responsible. The editor of The Blade had the letter in type, but backed down and agreed to suppress 1t. MT. Owens then announced that he would hunt the author down. He believes it Is from 8 Breckinridge man.
 Trouble is very likely to grow out of the canvass. Owens and Breckinridge have been bitter personal enemies for five years, and have not spoken in that time.

CHINCH BUGS DAYS NUMBERED.
An Epidemic Made to Order VIII
sweep Through Illinois Grain
Fields.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 9.-For
some weeks complaints have been
sent the Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture regarding the prev
alence of chinch bugs. These
complaints have been forwarded TO
Professor S. A. Forbes, State En-
tomologist at the University of Hi
nois. He reports the receipt this
spring OF several requests for advice
and assistance on account OF injury
by chinch bugs to small grain, and
the prospect of much greater injury
to corn, throughout Southern and
South Central Illinois, twenty-four
counties in that region being at
present more or less involved.
Most of these correspondents wish
material for the introduction of the
contagious disease among the ehincf
bugs. The State Agricultural Eek.
pertinent Station has consequently
made an appropriation sufficient Il
enable Professor Forbes to supply
this demand. Those wishing to avail
themselves of the opportunity thu
afforded TO experiment with thli
method should send to him at Cham
paign. Ill.,, from 900 to 5000 liv'
chinch bugs, inclosed in a tight til
box. This box should be about hal
filled with green vegetation, prefera
bly, wheat and corn, and should b
sent by mail or express, accompanies
by a note of advice. In return Pro
lessor Forbes will send, with tn
least possible delay, a stock of in
fected chlnch bugs with full direc
tons for their use.

Higgins. Mrs. Dowd-lIiggins received
a letter about IA years ago from the
Chief of Police of Louisville, KY, say
ing her husband was dead in st. Louis
Of yellow fever. She wore mourning
for Dowd almost to the time she mar
ried Higgins.
After marrying Higgins in England
they came to this country and settled
in Bloomfield, where Higgins purchas-
ed a house and lot and gave them to
his wife. Higgins was about to go to
work when Dowd arrived. Mrs. Dowd-
Higgins recognized her first husband
Mt once and fell ina faint. When she
revived, nowd told Higgins who he
was. The second husband did not be-
lieve the story until his wife confirm
ed it.
Both husbands talked the matter
over, which ended in -Dowd telling
Higgins ifhe had anything around the
house that belonged to him personally
he had better take it and get out.
Higgins has retained a lawyer and
SO has Mrs. Higgins, who says she will
apply for a divorce from Dowd on the
ground of desertion, as she is happy
and contented with Higgins. Dowd
says he has been living in Custer
County, Montana. He say he fire.

We still hear some complaint Of
hard times and money being scarce.
During the last few weeks one buggy
company in Iowa has had six or
seven agents in Audrain county and
in one or two adjoining counties and
have sold $4,000 worth of buggies.
Ten car loads have been disposed of
within twenty miles of Mexico in
less than ten weeks. Does this
look like hard times or that money
is scarce? In addition to the We
hicles sold by this particular firm
our local firms have also enjoyed a
fine trade, which shows clearly that
times are not as hard as some would
lead us to believe.

Get Ready for Big Democratic
victory.

victory.
From the Jefferson City Tribune.
Democratic newspapers ought to
quit trying to make it appear that
there is a fight going on between
leaders of the party in the state. In
the first place, there is nothing to
fight over, and even # there was it
would not be good policy for the
newspapers to encourage it. There
is plenty of room in the Democratic
party for Gov. Stone and his friends,
ex-Gov. Francis and his friends and
all family divisions. So far rs the
view of the party on the money ques-
ton is concerned, that is settled.
That there was an honest difference
of views on this question no one
will deny, but that it in any way
caused ground for internal strife, we
do deny. We think the entire mat.
ter has been su Efficiently discussed
for the editication of every one who
reads the newspapers, and the best
policy now is for all to join in and
win a big victory next November.
