dress suit habit, but he has not missed
anything that came his way on account.
Mr.. Bailey says he has no grounded
prejudice to "claw hammer" coat, but he
is afraid to put on his first dress suit be-
cause it might be taking a very dangerous
step. He says he has not the time to be
a society man or a regular diner out, and
resisted the temptation to order a suit of
evening clothes when he received his in
vitation to the White House, fearing that
if he should once get into the dangerous
things the temptation to do so again
would lie too strong to be resisted, and he
would in time become an habitual diner
out, thereby frittering away much valua-
BILE time, which could better be devoted to
study and to answering the letters of his
constituents.
Joseph W. Bailey, representative to
Congress from Texas, may be considered
beyond a doubt as the leader of the Dem
ocratic minority in the House. His home
is in Gainesville. There he went in 1885.
He had boundess political ambition, and
selected that locality as good one to
grow up with. Mr. Bailey made rapid
progress in his political career. Within
two years he became known as the
young Demosthenes of the Texas Dem
ocracy," and in 1890 he was sent to Con-
gress by plurality of nearly $4,000 votes.

been, and one day an actual movement of

were hastily drawn up asking Congress
for an appropriation to build a levee along
Horseshoe Bend, but nothing came of
them.
A few days ago a river captain ran a
passenger steamer through the "cutoff, y
and the trip was made securely. 1t is now
probable that the new channel will widen
sufficiently this season to change the
course of the river and leave Evansville
high and dry six miles inland.
That Henderson will be benefited as
much as Evansville is damaged goes with
out saying. The change means that all
the boat supply houses in the latter city
would be moved at once within the gates
of the former. 1t would mean larger
volume of business for Evansville's rival,
because many shoppers who have gone to
Evansville by river will not so by rail.
The Evansville water works would be
ruined and the saw mill industries could
not survive. These saw mills are
located on the river bank. They secure
their raw material from log RATS which
are foated down Green river in Kentucky
and thence into the Ohio and to Evans

The correspondent of the Associated

Kansan Who Is Making War on East

The man most discussed in Kansas Just
now is Webb McNall, State Superintend-

the unceremonous dismissal from the
State of the New York Life, the Mutual
New York and the Connecticut Mutual
Insurance Companies because they have
not settled the famous Hillmon claim,
which has been pending in the State and
Federal courts for more than fifteen
years. For this McNall was summoned
to appear before United States District
Judge Foster and show cause why he
should not be fined for contempt for thus
passing upon q question unsettled in that
court. just what right the United States
court has to interfere with McNall, who
is acting under State law and in con-

has not yet been able to determine. Nc

slGNsoF AN AIRsAIP EXPLOSION
Citizens of Pavilion, Mich, Hear a
Mys- eriOuS Noise,

Citizens of Pavilion, Mich, Hear a
Mys- erious Noise,
Since the airship was seen by residents
of Chicago reports from a large number
of other points indicating that it has been
seen by great numbers of persons have
been received. The most startling report
comes from Pavilion, Mich, where it is
claimed that an airship, while passing
over the town, exploded. Not only was
the flash of an explosion seen, but the
noise resulting was heard by a large num-
Der of reputable citizens.
The airship was travelling at a rapid
rate, when there was loud report, and
the lights that had been visible at each
end were eNtinguished. The machine dis
appeared, and it is expected, was blown
into atoms. Carpenters engaged in s.iing-
ling house beneath the point at which
the ship was seen to explode assert that
when they resumed work the following
morning the roof was covered with innum-
cradle particles that looked as though they
had fallen from above during the night.
Telegrams from Madison, Wis, assert
that several railroad men who have been
at Baraboo recently are sure the airship
was simply circus advertising scheme.
They believe it was controlled by cables
and that it was in reality nothing more
than something on the order of the sta
tionary balloon that was seen at the
Worlds Fair.
Reports from Macoupin County, Ill,
however, say an airship has been seen at
several points in the county, alighting at
two places and resuming it's journey when
delegations started in the direction of the
point where it alighted i'll order to inspect
it. These reports say the ship travelled at
the rate of thirty miles an hour at least,
and that it seemed to be under complete
control of those in charge of it, Other
points at which an airship has been seen
are Emporia, Kan, Wabash and Muncie,
Ind, Perry, Okla, and Palmyra and Ri

Grave Danger.

Evansville, Ind, Confronted with a
Grave Danger.
The city of Evansville, Ind, is threat
ened with grave danger and perhaps
when the present high floods in the Ohio
river subs;de its prosperity may be forever
crushed The Ohio river, which has been
one of the great sources of the city's COM
mercial and industrial activity, has SCOOP
ed out for itself new channel, and Ev-
ansville may soon stand six miles from
water.
Three miles up the river from Hender-
son is what is known as the "cutoH. At
this point the Ohio river makes sharp
curve, forming almost perfect horseshoe.
The bend derives it's name from this pecu-
liarity for it is known as Horseshoe Bend.
Evansville is in the big end of the horse
shoe and Henderson is on the southwest
ern point. The peninsula formed by the
bend is of that rich river bottom land that
produces The finest corn in the world, but
little else
Six miles up the river from Evansville
is the entrance to Mound Slough. Here
is the beginning of the "cutoff." In high
water the river runs through the slough,
emptying into the Ohio again at the point
three miles from Henderson already nam
ed.
For years with each succeeding flood
Mound Slough has been gradually widen
ing. The water has eaten away ton after
ton of the soft river bottom land. until
to-day there is hardly place where the
passage is not 200 feet wide. 1t ranges
from this width to nearly half mile. AS
the slough grew in width it also grew in
depth. Last year for the first time the
people of Evansville realized the danger
to their city. They noticed that in high
