The bill known as the civil service
measure, entitled "an act to regulate
the civil service of the commonwealth
and of the cities thereof, of counties
containing more than 159, 900 inhabi-
tants, and to provide penalties for it's
violation" which it's friends claim was
drawn in the interests of purity in pol
itics, was the cause Of a very spirited
debate in the senate a few days ago.
The opponents Of this bill contend that
IL should be amended, as 1t confines
its provisions to Philadelphia and AL
legheny, and leaves out the other coun-
ties of the state, with the possible ex-
ception Of Luzerne and Schuylkiii.
A motion to amend 1t was defeated
by the Quay people, which resulted in
a very sharp debate between Senators
Finn and Grady, The fight ragged for
some time, when action was suspended
that further consideration might be
taken on another bill, Despite the fact
that some of the members who are in
sympathy with the friends Of this bill
offered various amendments, these were
knocked out and the bin in its original
form passed second reading The bill

MILLIONAIRE'S SEARCH
Rewarded by Finding His Child in
the Custody of His Divorced Wife.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April H.-After a
search of four years Edwin r. Mohler, a
millionaire lumber man, of Minneapolis, has
located his divorced wife, Loru Maud, and
their eight-year-old child, Paul Raymond
Mohler The woman was found yesterday
afternoon i'm Pasadena, where she had been
living for the past five months under the
name of Austin. She was at once brought
to Los Angeles and now is in charge of
the sheriff. The story OF her disappear
ance is a strange one. She and her hus-
band were married in Minneapolis ten years
ago and in 1888 a divorce was granted Mrs.
Mohler on the ground OF incompatibiity,
she receiving the custody OF the child.
Mohler. some months later. became suspi-
cious of the health OF the child and APP
piled to the Superior Court of Hennepin
county, Minnesota, for the custody of the
child After many hearings and bitter
fight he was awarded the child but his
wife frustrated this by mysteriously dis
appearing with the infant son. She had
given out that she was going to Florida,
but really came to California, settling i'm
Los Angeles. Detectives secured the coun-
try and finally located her in Pasadena.
She had married again and was living un-
der the name of Austin.

DANGER PASSING AT OMAHA.
The Missouri May BE Prevented from
ReSuming Its Old Channel.

OMAHA Neb., April H.-To-night there is
less danger of the threatened cutoff by the
Missouri river, and, unless there is an un-
looked-for rise or high wind from the
north, it is not probable that much more
damage will be done. The hastily built
dyke that stemmed the torrent from Flor
ence lake on Tuesday was greatly strength
ened to-day, and has almost stopped the
flow at the most threatening point The
water has spread out over a wider stretch
of territory and surrounds q few more
houses, but the change in channel of the
Missouri has been averted for the time, at
least. The workmen employed along the
levee struck to-day for double pay. They
were given 10 cents an hour and demanded
80 cents Their demands were refused, and
twenty quit work. Other men were easily
secured.
On the Iowa side Of the river south of
Council Bluffs the water has inundated
farms for distance of three or four miles
back from the stream. The water came up
in the night, and the farmers report many
hogs, cattle and horses drowned These
reports are coming in tonight from every
point along the river far south as St.
Joseph. The flood is the worst since the
inundation of 1881. and is doing immense
damage to property along the rivers edge.
The flood Seems 10 have reached its height
and will probably fall from now on.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Another of the

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE governing
committee of the Stock Exchange this
afternoon preferred charges against

pany on the exchange. a large number of
complaints have been lodged with the dis
trict attorney by people who claim that
they have been swindled. There are said to
oe about one hundred Of these in adjoining
cities and States. Attachments against the
collapsed company We're filed with the
sheriffs office this afternoon by counsel for

OTHER IMPORTANT LAWS.
Change In Method of yOting-ChiId-
Labor Measure.

The 3-cent-fare law is not the only one
going into effect that excites very general
interest. Probably the most important of
these is the new election law, which thus
goes into effect in time to hold the town
elections in May under it. The printing
houses of this city had prepared a great
many blanks and forms under the old law
for these elections. all of which have now
become waste paper involving considerable
loss. Under the new law the pencil will be
used instead of the stamp and the device
will be surrounded by circle
The child-labor law. Involving factory in
spection. is one of those put into effect by
the proclamation, and IL is likely that the
Governor will announce his appointment of
factory inspector in few days. The ar
bitration law also becomes operative, and
the Governor will appoint two labor COM
missionerS, who must be of opposite pol
itics, one an employer of labor and the
other a workngman
There is probably more general interest I'm
the new medical law than in any of those
now made effective. The Governor has con-
sidered thoroughly the subject of an ex-
amining board provided for by this law. and
will probably announce the board in few
days.

Widening and Rising.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, April 1.-THE Mis-
souri, river reached the danger line at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon and is rising more
rapidly than on Tuesday, in spite of its
greater width. The gauge now reads
twenty-one, with an additional rise of one
foot predicted by Friday noon. Already
the effects of the rapid rise are beginning
to be felt in the west bottoms. The water
is seeping through the sand stratum which
forms that land and more than three feet
below the bottoms of the cellars in a large
section Of the bottoms. Some cellars are
already under water. Across the river
along the Harlem shore only foot of the
bank remains but it is feared the water
may back up from Randolph, an eastern
suburb behind Harlem, and float 1t before 1t
affects Harlem The Kansas river, a feeder
of the Missouri, is at a standstill, and the
Missouri may also back up on Armourdale
a suburb on the smaller stream. Much
green stuff is floating down, an evidence
that the banks north of here are being cut
away. Warnings have been sent out to
make preparations for a serious flood.
