WOE IN WINONA.
Counting the Cost in the Sadly Stricken
Missouri Town.

Winona, Mo, July 9-Now that the
fatal deluge is subsiding in this ill fated
town and it's vicinity, the horror of the
disaster and the enormous destruction
of property become apparent to the brave
body of searchers and others who are
here to render what aid they can to the
survivors The flood has left only scene
of the living from the presence of hun
dreds of dead horses, cattle, hogs and
| other stock. The loss of human life is
placed at dozen to certainty, all but
one of the victims being known. The
bodies have been recovered with the ex-
ception of that of Lloyd Wright's daugh-
ter. The body of George Nevius was
found yesterday. The unidentified body
is that of a stranger who was guest at
one of the hotels.
Besides this unknown stranger the fol-
lowing are dead: Rev. 6. w. Duncan,
Matte Duncan, Crawford Cart, Norma
M9yns s sv,s daughter Mls OF h9ya bncan Mrghs Es
Crawford, George Nevins, Maggie Can
non, George Norris.
The following persons lost their dwell
ings: Thomas McAndless, Vim. Howell,
George Jordan, Ulysses Randolph, John
Norris F(drowned), George Hayden (four
houses), James Hensley, John Chiffon,
Joseph Miller, Rev. G. W. Duncan,
drowned, d. W. Van. DR.. Holmes,
George Farris, Crandall Robertson, Mr..
Lloyd, Tom Gabraith.
The Barr Hotel, Petit House, Lewis
and Sills Hotel were badly damaged.
Hardly a building, except those in the
suburbs and on high grounds escaded
being flooded. Winona, according to the
last census, had 602 population. 1t was
the largest town in Shannon county, al
though it was not the county seat Three
years ago Winona was almost wiped out
by fire.

CRACKERS and CHEESE.

THE GREAT QUESTION BEFOR
THE NEW YORK COURTS.

Crackers and Cheese Ordered. From a
Regular Bill of Fare Fulfill the Re-
quirements of the Law and You May
Eat, Drink and Be Merry on Sunday
Two Bills of Fare.
New York, July 9-City Magistrate
F'lammer gave decision yesterday after
noon in the case of Nicholas Sinot, the
waiter of the Hotel Metropole who was
arrested on Sunday, June 80, by Police
man Hulse, on charge of violating the
Excise law. This is the case on which
the Hotel Mems Association has deter
mined to make fight, and for that
reason it has attracted great deal of at
tention.
Ihe first witness was Hulse. He sa i'd
he went into the cafe of the Hotel Metro
pole on Sunday afternoon, June 80, and
asked for glass of beer. Sinot handed to
him a bill of fare from which he ordered
plate of crackers and cheese.
Did he hand you a bill of fare?'' asked
the magistrate.
Yes, SIR" said the policeman. "I
looked over it. All the dishes were cheap
l think the most expensive was ten
cents. -
Well, what did you do then?''
- ordered plate of crackers and
cheese and a glass of beer. The waiter
served me and gave me check for Is
cents. After that L ordered a second glass
OF beer, which was served me, for which

place?''
Yes, sir; five or six others -
What were they eating? Any steak or
anything of that sort?'
- don't think SO. There was nothing
OF that sort on the bill of fare that saw.
= Nothing cost more than 10 cents. -
!. 9 Was there any other bill of fare?"
asked Mr.. Tanning.
THAT, y said Hulse, ''I do not know. I
saw but the one''
"Well, said Mr.. Tanning esI guess
that's about all there is to the case. The
evidence seems pretty clear''
Up to this time it looked like an ac-
quittal, but then the respondent himself
was called to the stand. Sinot, weary,
perhaps, OF the oblivion in which he had
remained, rushed forward and stood
ready to testify Almost the first oues-
tion asked foored him and ended the
case. He said that several other people
in the place were eating steaks and
chops at the time Hulse was being
served.
"Then," said Inspector Brooks,
There were two bills of fare. -
Sinot, did not. see the trap that was
being laid for him. ''Oh, yes, sir, !"
he said; ''two or three. -
And this cheap bill of fare.' con-
tinued the Inspector quietly, twas that
in use every day?''
"No, SIR said the witness, ''only
sometimes. ~
'tWhen?" asked the Inspector sternly
"On-on-Sundays, stammered the
witness, who was frightened.
II think that will do said Magis-
trate Flammer. ~ have heard all I care
to in this case. The prisoner is held in
500 bail for trial -
If the case goes against the hotel people
in special sessions, an appeal may be tax

Evils of Nature

Where the deadly rattlesnake flour

its bite acts as an antidote. So it is
