punched as possibilities and some of
the knowing ones nod when Captive is
mentioned. The track was never faster

FLOOD IN MINNESOTA.
The Water Pouring in Torrents
Through Large Valley.

ST. PAUL (Minn), June 19-News
has been received by courier that the
Pine River Government dam has broken,
and the water is now pouring in tor
rents through the valley of Pelican
Greek to the Mississippi. The break is
about four miles from the dam proper.
and was caused by the water running
over the top of the bank, washing the
channel before it was discovered, and
the water is now rushing through
break 200 feet wide.
There was a sixteen-foot head on the
dam, and confined the water of seven
teen lakes, all being bank full The
gates at the dam were raised at once
in order to draw out the water into Pine
River, which is now running full. The
water was rising this afternoon at the
rate of one foot per hour in the new
channel, and also in Pine River
The buildings of A T. Kimball, a.
hotel keeper at Pelican Greek, have all
been moved from their foundations,
and some of them swept down stream
in the new channel. He saved his stock
and furniture.
At Brainerd they are preparing for a
five-foot rise in the river, which will
make it two feet higher than during the
recent flood. No lives are reported lost.

A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

j. NJ. Gruber Appointed to Relieve Capt
Jenks-New Time Table in Force.
A telegram received here Tuesday
announced the fact that j. NJ. Gruber
formerly division superintendent on the
Eastern Minnesota railroad, at West Su-
periol, had been transferred to Great
Falls as superintendent Of the Montana
Central and would arrive here soon to
relieve Capt. jerks, who will return to
Grand Forks and resume his old posi-
ton at that point. The citizens OF Great
Falls will generally regret losing Capt
jerks, who is highly appreciated here ae
citizen, as we'll as generally liked as q
railroad official both by his employees and
the business public. The new superin-
tendent is said to be railroad man of
ability, though stranger tn most OF the
employees here. There is a rumor that
General Supt. Barr of the Great North
ern and j. j. Hill are expected here with
Mr.. Gruber, but it could not be con-
frmed.
The new time table, published few
days ago in THE TRIBUNE, takes effect
today.
General Manager Warren is said to
have been granted ian indefinite leave
OF absence" by President Hill, and it is
further stated that General Superinten
dent j. M. Barr will to a certain extent
assume his duties.

TIA general county school tax is to be
levied this year, County Superintendent
Swan will in few days ask the county
commissioners to make the levy about
four mills.
There is considerable sentiment in this
city, however, against any general county
levy, its opponents favoring special levy
by each district.
II a general county levy of four mills
should be made, district No. / would
pay in taxes about $4,000, but, under
the system Of per capita apportionment
would receive not more, and probably
less, than $4,000. In addition, Taxpayers
in district No. l would be required tc
pay special levy of at least four mills.
If, however, there should be no gen
eral levy, the total special levy IN district
No would not be more than six mills,
and it is argued that this would be suf
fcent to pay all expenses of the district
If, however, district No. | decides tc
raise all taxes by special levy, the
country districts, which, heretofore, dis
trict No |, has, IN great measure, aided
will suffer and some of them will be un
able to maintain school for more thar

strictly choice cattle we're not numerous
and there was not much trading above

around s330@3.35. Fat cows and heif-
ers sold light today and calves we're

one election district to another within
the same county in which he registered,
vote in the district into which he has
moved in the same county, provided, he
has obtained the certificate allowed by
section 1888, and provided, he presents
this certificate within the period of reg
istration to the registration agent within
the election district to which he has
moved, and provided his name is regis
tered the second time as required by
said section. But it must be understood
that under the registration law of
the state now in force there is no
way whatever by which an elector may
vote unless his name appears upon the
registration books of the county in
which he actually resides at the time of
his registration, or in which he will have
actually resided for 80 days before cleo
tion day. This important prohibition
also appears by section 1884, to follow.
This section gives right in certain cases
to registered voter to vote in a district
other than where he first registered.
But he cannot vote under any circum-
stances in any county except where he
first registered and lives. nor unless
registered before registration closes"

Wilson's FallaCies,

Again, Mr.. Wilson says: "They the
silver men take ratio which never did
produce parity and never did give us
concurrent circulation OF gold and silver,
and now when silver has so depreciated,' "
who deprecated it'll they demand US
to restore it.
Now, this contains some truth.
Speaking in mathematical sense, an
absolutely exact parity Of the metals has
not been maintained, probably cannot
be. Bot the difference in their value in
money was very little. They might be
said to differ in value much as horse
differs in value before and after his feed.
After the feed the horse is worth more
by the price o. the feed. No one thinks
of it in the case of single animal, but
If one were to buy 100000 horses to i'm
mediately consign the price of the feed
would make an item. So it is with the
mathematical difference between the
value of gold and silver money. In all
domestic transactions it is not thought
of and is too inconsiderable to be taken
into account. Where large Gums are
wanted for export the trit]ing difference
may amount to sum worth saving.
For more than 200 years anterior to
1873 the ratio was always between II
and lG to |. 1t would sometimes run
for generation with but the smallest
fraction of difference.
In 1873, when silver was demonetized,
the nominal ratio was 1G to l; the actual
ratio was 1898 to l.
Mr.. Wilson assumes that to have a
concurrent circulation of gold and sill
yer they must have an absolute parity
of value. Our common observation and
all the facts of history teach us other
wise. Sometimes We see more silver,
sometimes more gold, but one will al
ways procure the other without premium
unless large quantities are wanted.
There is much more in this remark
able letter, but the space OF daily pa
per is limited, and ! vii! note but one
other point. Like all other goldites he
predicts "appalling disasters to follow
| bimetallism.
Again false conclusions. "AppalIing
disasters" did not come because of BIZ
metallism from 1892 to 1873. They did
not come when silver was stricken from
the list of primary money in 1873. The
law does not look so terrible. Here it is
That the gold coins of the United
States shall be 81 piece, which, at the
standard weight of % $40 grains, shall
be the unit of value"
1T is not as wide as church door MOI
go deep as a well, but It's enough
Sometimes the little is great. A
single arrow at Severac changed the
face OF history. A pillet Of ball from the
pistol of Wilkes Booth took mourning te
every home in Christendom. The effect
of that law has been to increase the pur
chasing power OF every hoard in the
country and in equal ratio to lower the
value Of every product OF labor; to re
duce the debtor to desperation and des
pair, and to make life harder to unnum
bered millions. G.. II. ROBINSON.

tor Cannon was not present at the con-
ference, owing to business engagements

they represent the great principle OF

dent, and we appeal to all citizens, and
especially to republicans who feel, as we
do, that gold monometallism would be of

"Stagnation' Describes 1T, c. Power
on the Situation.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Ex-senator T. c. Power, president OF
the North Montana Woolgrowers asso
citation, was at the Park hotel yesterday
and in answer to TRIBUNE reporters
questions, said: "Stagnation and demor.
alization are the words that describe the
wool market, both in Montana and in

grower ought to do with his wool, ccr
sidering the circumstances. One ttire
is certain, he will have to either store
his wool or consign it, if no change oc.
ours very soon. The Boston wool buy.
ing houses appear to be entirely indiffer
ent about securing wool, either by pur-
chase or consignment. The fact seems to
be that they do not care to invest their
cash in wool this year. A few choice
clips are about all they care to purchase
and the financial outlook is such that
they do not care to borrow money
to advance on consignments. They
have little demand from manufacturers
at present and are taking no chances
on the future. | believe that Montana
wool at current prices could be shipped
to London and sold at profit. That
market is 25 per cent higher than it was
year ago at this time. 1t is a fortunate
circumstance that the local banks gen.
orally are pretty easy for money and not
inclined to push the wool grower. This
fact may enable some OF them to wait
for more favorable terms before they
finally sell their product"
There was but one sale yesterday, and
that WAS the clip of B. L. Stack, who
sold to Weston. Whitman X Co. at figures
not made public. Quite number OF
clips were consigned. Only the very best
quality of wool now secures bid at any
price, and the advances on consignment
are very small.

FRANKFoRT, Ky, July 21.--Nine lives
were lost as the result of last nights
floods, SO far as heard from. Gaines
bridge, over Benson creek, was washed
away, four miles from town. The dead
are: James Bradley, wife and five chill
dren and Mrs. Bryant, widow, and two
children. They lived on flat along Ben
son creek. The creek rose 30 rapidly
that their houses we're washed away be-.
fore the occupants knew of their danger.
Mrs. Bryant was daughter of
Squire Dan Moore, candidate Tor
county judge. James Suddeth, a
tenant, made miraculous escape
with his family. He was awakened by
the storm and discovered the creek had
swollen and was likely to sweep his
house away. He swan over mile, pro-
cured horse and they made their es-
cape from the house only few minutes
before it was washed away by the rush
Of waters. Traffic on both the Louis
VILE, Cincinnati Il Lexington and the
short line divisions of the Louisville 4
Nashville and the Chesapeake & Ohio
will go over the Louisville Southern
tracks, via Lexington.
Half dozen or more county bridges
have been washed away. The most
valuable was one recently constructed
over Benson creek and cost $4,000.
Hundreds of acres of crops are totally
ruined, and it is impossible to even ap-
proximate the awful damage. The dam
age in Franklin county is estimated at

until Oct. q. So holds the supreme
court in decision, notice of which was
received in Great Falls yesterday
Associate Justice Hunt handed down
the opinion, in which all justices con-
Cured, and it settles the vexed question,
holding that the registry law of 1893, as
incorporated in the political code, is sub
stantialy in force.
The sections of the political code, re-
lating to the registry law, that are held
to be in force are 1900, 1909, 1911, 1919
and 1918 to and including 1884, as the
same are designated and compiled. The
attorney general will have the compila.
ton printed in pamphlet form for distri

state. According to the latest interpre'
tation no one can vote under any condi
ton unless registered. In relation tc
section 1888, concerning an elector who
removes from one district to another, the
conditions under which he may vote are
given as follows:
"By the original registration law OF
1889, an elector could receive what wat
called territorial or state registry GER
titicate from his registry agent, and upor
its exhibition to a registry agent in an
other district within the county in which
the elector registered, or in any other
county, he could register second time
and vote. But the legislature OF l89;
materially changed this provision of the
law and expressly prohibited the regis
tration or voting in any county othel
than the one in which the elector actu
ally resides at the time of his registra
ton, or in the county in which he will
have actually resided for 80 days before
election day.
