May27-2s, 1889, q hours, 800 inches.
June s, 1889, IL hours, 2.77 inches.
May 1928, 1898, IA hours, $50 inches.
Dec. 17-1s, 1895, 26 hours, sos inches.
1t will be seer from this list that
this was the heaviest rain in the last
eight years.
A VERITABLE DELUGE.
CARTHAGE, Mo-, December 1s.-To-
day the heaviest rain storm known
here since June, 1874, prevailed. Pas
senger trains on the Frisco, both
ways, were abandoned. The electric
light plant is crippled, and there is
great danger of both gas plants being
swamped. The electric line has cas-
ed to run between Carthage and the
power house, and at the creek the
waters threaten to overflow the en-
bankment, endangering the bridge.
Reports from the country indicate
great loss of stock.
GOLDEN CITY, Mo-, December 49,
The heaviest rainfall ever known in
this section has been in progress dur
ng the last "a hours and is still fall
ing. The Big Muddy, the largest
stream in this county, has reached a
higher watermark than in 1871, which
had been the highest heretofore.
JOPLIN, Mo, Dec. 1s.-Rain has been
falling with but slight cessation for
over "a hours. Creeks have over
flowed their banks and low grounds
are flooded. The sudden rise of water
has flooded mines in the district, caus-
ing damage that will aggregate fnous-
ands of dollars.

"A NEW PARTY PLAN.


Washington, March THE follow.
Ing was issued to-day by the American
Bimetallic league:
"a statement Of the issues on which
the new party will organize: The
money question Is now indisputablr

tent, involves all others. The. issue
Is between the old standard, gold
bonds and bank currency ON the one
side. and the bimetallic standard, NO
bonds and government currency, on
the other. -
"First-On this issue we declare
ourselves to be unalterably opposed to

the unrestricted coinage of both silver
and gold into standard money at the
ratio Of 1G to 1 and upon terms Of ex.

"Second-We hold that the power to
control and regulate paper currency
is tnseparable from the power to coin
money: and hence that all currency
intended to circulate rs money should
be issued and Its volume controlled bv
the general government only, and
should be legal tender.
"Third-We are uEalterably opposed
