May Liberate Taylor.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April o.
The news of an alleged attempt to
liberate the murderer, Taylor, was
received today and caused some
what Of stir. 1t came from Milan,
Mo-, as follows:
at is believed here that the
friends OF w. p. Taylor, the con-
demned murderer of the Meeks
family, now in Jail in Kansas City,
will attempt to hold up the train
which will carry the doomed man
to Carrollton on the morning of
the 30th of April, overpower the
officers and get him away, If pos
sible. 1t is said that Taylor has
been corresponding with two
former highwsymen and others
equally as bad, hence the belief
of the rescue plot, and it will be
asked that extra precautions be
taken to foil their plans"

Logging Camps Flooded.

MENoMINEE, Mich, April o.
The Menominee and Fence rivers
are out Of their banks, and the
floods are causing heavy losses to
logging interests. The logging
camps of Isaac Monroe on Fence
river has been flooded, caused by a
log jam, and the employees barely
escaped. The camp with equip
ments and provisions was swept
away.
Many farmers in the Menominee
valley have been driven from
home and have suffered great loss
in stock and crops. One hundred
men are guarding the log booms at
various points on the river. The
back water in this city has driven
sewerage into the city water
mains, and fifty cases of typhoid
fever have resulted. The water Is
still rising and the loss will con-
tinue to be heavy.

The A. 0. q. W. Lose the Case.

ST. LOUIS, April 22.-The court
Of appeals has affirmed the case Of
Mrs. Amelia Zepp against the
Ancient Order Of United Workmen.
The trial court granted Mrs. Zepp
judgment for $4,000 the amount Of
a burial certificate taken out by
her husband, the late Phillip HI.
Zepp, for many years circuit clerk.
The defense was that Mr.. Zepp,
contrary to the terms Of his appli-
cation for insurance, bought an in
terest in a saloon after he joined
the order. This decision will
doubtless have a bearing on many
cases throughout the state in
which liquor dealers who were
members of the A. o. U. W. were
expelled after the adoption of the
anti liquor clause in the constitu-
ton, and who are now suing to
have their dues returned that they
had previously paid.

Venezuelan Question Revived.

LONDON, April 22.-All the al
ternoon papers comm ent on dis
patch from Washington to the
Times which its correspondent is
said here to have been instructed
to publish, concluding with the
remark: "This delay is most peri
lous. The Washington executive
still shows strong desire for an
honorable and reasonable agree
ment (on the Venezuelan question:
but it takes two to make a
treaty"
The st. James Gazette says:
1.-THE statement which George
Smalley was instructed to publish
shows that the United States gov
eminent still hopes we shall help
it out Of the difficulty by surren der.
When it is finally convinced of its
mistake what will happen?"
The Globe remarks: "If Ameri-
cans are wise they will understand
that Marquis Salisbury's attit ude
means the steady determination of
Great Britain not to allow inter-
ference in what she rightfully con-
siders to be her own business"
The Pail Mall Gazette says it
sees no reason for alarm; on the
other hand the Westminster Ga
zette urges Marquis Salisbury to
settle tho Venezuelan question out
of hand even at a cost Of lowering
his pride.

Denver Bank Failure.

DENVER, Col, April 22.-The
American National bank failed to
open this morning. A notice is
placed on the door TO the effect
that the directors had decided to
liquidate. This step was taken on
account OF internal discussions. It
is said all depositors will be paid
in full. Seeps L. Hill is in charge
Of the bank on behalf OF the gov
eminent.
The announcement Of the failure
does not come as a surprise to
business men of Denver nor indi-
Gates any lack of confidence in the
general business situation. The
retirementIfromIthe directorate and
sale of stock Of several prominent
wealthy men has materially re-
duced the business of the bank and
made it impossible to carry it on
profitably. At the report made at
the close of business, March 9th,
the total deposits were 81, All ,567;
loans and discounts ST, 12S,Nl,
cash on hand 1892 ,065; capital
stock Of tn e bank $500, 600; surplus
fund $4,000. The assets are
$2,O25, 532 and it is claimed that
but LITTLE trouble will be experien-
ced in realizing on them.
