street, Clinton, Mo-, has a curiosity in
the shape of growing center stand.
About two months ago Mrs. Church
purchased rustic center stand, nicely
trimmed and vanished, which she
placed in her room, and recently she
noticed that sprouts mad started from
the stand legs, which are now about
three or four inches in length Mrs.
Church has placed each leg of the
stand in saucers of water and will
keep the curiosity as long as possible.

GENE YATES RELEASED.
He is Free Man Through His Mothers
Efforts
TFrom the Leavenworth Times, Saturday.


From the Leavenworth Times, Saturday.
E. B. Yates. the young Topeka sport,
was released from the county Jail yester-
day afternoon and he is once more free
man. His release is due to the hard
work of his devoted mother, who has
been here several days laboring to bring
it about.
She held several conferences with Ar
thur Simmons yesterday and it resulted
in his agreeing not to prosecute the
young man and withdrawing the case
against him from Justice Carney's court
1t is said the $81 Yates secured from Mr.
Simmons by making false representations
has been returned and that he agreed
not 10 prosecute him for his mothers
sake.
Young Yates is out of serious box
and has been taught lesson that will no
doubt have tendency to make him go
slow in the future.
Mrs. Yates has a number of warm
friends in Leavenworth who are more
than pleased to see her son out of trouble.
They assisted her in every way possible.
When it was decided not to prosecute
Yates, Mr. Simmons went to the county
Jail and brought him to the National
hotel where his mother was waiting. He
promised faithfully to make no more
trouble

HOW THE FLOOD CAME.
Graphic Description of It's Sweep Through
Russell County.

Russell County.
Western Kansas counties through
which the Smoky Hill river runs never
saw such food in all their history as
swept down the valley and inundated
Salina, In Russell county the flood
came soon after daylight The Russell
Journal describes it graphically. 1t says:
"Persons residing within a mile or even
two miles heard the rumb bling and roar
ing of the mighty waters and some of
them thought it was that of some har-
vesting machinery. Others who lived
close by saw the water coming and made
haste to remove their stock from the
low pasture grounds along the river, and
in some instances at least, were none too
soon. The water came in rolling waves
four feet high and rose ten feet in
an hours time, and in five or six hours
after it began to rise, it was from eigh-
teen to twenty feet above low water
mark.
''The iron bridge across the river south
of Russell was about 800 feet long and
Is feet above the bed OF the river. Eye
witnesses say that when the water
reached the floor of the bridge, a large
wave of water Just raised it up in the
center and it parted as though made of
straws. It is a total wreck and is lying
a half mile down the stream.
''Those living along the river report
| having seen a great deal of stock of var
ious kinds passing down the stream as
we'll as parts of bridges, buildings, house
hold furniture of every description and
even several freight cars
"The body of boy is also reported as
having been seen going down the stream
"The most surprising part of the flood
was the fact that no rain of any conse
| Quence had fallen in this or Ellis county
| lying west of US for several weeks The
high water being caused by terrible
rains from 100 to 200 miles west of here.

FOOLED A. R. GREENE.
A FOrger Came Near Getting Some Money
Out of Him,

A. R. Greene of Lecompton was in
town Saturday. He had an experience a
few days ago with a man who palmed
himself of AS an army comrade long
enough to secure Mr.. Greene's signature
which he counterfeited on $35 note,
and attempted to raise money on the pa
per. Mr.. Greene found that the man is
in Topeka, hanging round the state
house, and it is supposed he is trying to
work the same game on some of the
state officers.
After he had made Mir. Greene's &C.
quaintance, he asked him to write q
note to the cashier of the Watkins bank
of Lawrence, telling him that s'no mack
intosh had been left at his house. "
Though Mr.. Greene is by no means dull
he fell into the trap, and signed the
note, and the man then used It in forp-
ing his note at the bank, which was not
cashed, by an accident

NEVER before was such q fight made
against "dying" cause as is being made
by the gold-bugs against the cause OF
free silver. They are not only pouring
out money like water but they are using
every effort to prevent any expression by
the people. Why do they do this, if as
they claim. "the silver craze is dying
out" Why don't they just let it die? Or
better yet, they might marshal their
cohorts at the free silver conventions
held under partisan auspices and vote it
out. The fact is their experience in
Kentucky was enough for them. They
don't want to try that again. They will
use their best efforts to keep the people
from getting together.

WICHITA seems to be burdened with
an incompetent police force. They say
they can't find the joints. They should
be put out and men put in their places
who can find them. Topeka could fur
nish them policemen who could find their
joints. If any other law were being vi
olsted to the same extent that the pro-
hibitory law seems to be violated in
Wichita, it is extremely likely that her
policemen could find the criminals and
their places of business. What can be
expected of a chief of police who. by his
own confession, declines to prosecute Of
tenders against the dignity of the city
because their relatives are prominent
business men. What rights have one
class of citizens that another class does
not possess? The chief in his interview
quoted in this paper last week, complains
that he receives no word of encourage
ment Has it come to this that mans
oath and his salary are not sufficient in
centives to do his duty? Wichita's chief
evidently is too sentimental for a good
officer. He should resign and make room
for some man who will do his duty be-
cause it is right and for the salary at
tached to the Office, No greater reason

THE Usage City Press speaking of the
chief justiceship middle says: "Next
winter Col. Anthony will appear before
the Editorial association and assure the
editors in very impressive manner,
that the Times always tells the truth,
and Frank MacLennan will expatiate
upon the beauties of wide-awake jour
nalism." The JOURNAL suggests that
the Press hold its breath a little while
We are not through collecting facts
about this matter. The first invoice ap-
peared in Saturdays JOURNAL Judge
Thaoher's story comes pretty close to in
dicating that he was the first choice of
Governor Morrill,. When it comes to
getting at the truth of things the STATE
JOURNAL is always pretty close to the
band wagon Some of the truth isn't
always agreeable, but it is the truth, and
that is what the JOURNAL readers pay it
for getting.

THE fallacy of comparing this country
to Mexico in connection with the silver
matter is apparent when it is considered
that Mexico is buying nation while
ours is a selling nation. Who would re-
fuse to take our silver dollars at 100 cents
when they could exchange them for a
dollars worth of our products When
we cease to discriminate against our own
currency other people will do the same.
What people want in a currency is not so
much promise to pay as q promise to
receive as long as we have things to sell.

NOT so FAIR FOR A CABLE.
The Pacific Cable Scheme Meets with Some
Objections.


Objections.
VICTORIA, B. c., July 15.-Australian
papers received by the Miowera an
nounce that the premier OF Victoria has
cabled the agent general of that colony
as follows, with regard to the Pacific
cable scheme: Impress upon the i'm
perial government the extreme necessity
of the Pacific cable project and urge an
early meeting of the joint commission
of representatives of the imperial gov
eminent of Canada, and the Australian
colonies, to arrange definite plan sub
ject to the approval of the governments
interested.
In reply to this the premier received a
cablegram from Agent General GILES,
stating that none of the other agents
general had received instruction to CO.
operate with him in urging the con-
struction of the cable. The objection is
raised that cable touching only British
soil is a somewhat quixotic proposition
not likely to prove acceptable to the COM
mnrcial world
