BADSHOW FORW WHEAT
PRICE CURRENT SEES A GLOOMY
PROSPECT.
Winter Wheat Estimated at SOC, oOO,-
OOO-Spring Wheat Reported Critl-
caI-Cubans Won Victory in the Pur-
patori Hills-Wants Grover Again.
Wheat Outlook Poor.


The Cincinnati Price Current publishes
the following rather gloomy review OF the
wheat situation: wheat crop news is
about the same as in recent past as to
winter grain; whatever has developed to
change average indication has been III
direction of reduction. While present
situation furnishes no reliable basis for
estimating ultimate yield, it is reasona-
BILE to consider about 100000, 600 bushels
for winter crop as extent of present lndl-
cation. There is little room, apparently,
for higher results under most favorable
conditions likely to occur henceforWard.
Information concerning spring wheat IN
Northwest is far from being satisfactory,
and there are elements Of uncertainty. IN
much of Minnesota and North Dakota
which border on discouragement, al
though situation cannot be regarded as 4
hopeless one yet. Temperature has been
too low, and excessive moisture has also
hindered progress of seeding. "A Few
days of especially favorable weather are
urgently needed in that region. Oats
have been sown quite largely in recent
past and are making fairly good start
in many sections, but to a large extent
the crop is belated, and the acreage quite
likely will prove to have been lessened.
It is interesting to note that there appears
to be an indication of maintenance OF
area of corn this season in most regions
of the West"

CRISIS AT ATHENS.
Public Feeling Bitter Toward the
King and His Family.

Public Feeling Bitter Toward the
King and His Family.
Popular feeling in Greece points to
revolution in favor of republic. The
citizens are greatly excited at the revela-
tons made by former Minister Ralli as to
the conduct of the campaign. Large meet
ings have been held and fiery harangues
have been delivered by well-known ora
tors in denunciation of "those who would
betray Greece" The fall of the ministry
is regarded as certain.
A dispatch received at one of the en-
bassies,i in London from Athens SAYS that
King George of Greece may at any mo
ment be deposed or assassinated, and that
the mob is likely to take possession of
the city. Discomfort is growing and the
king will be the scapegoat The news
and truth about the Larissa campaign are
just becoming known, and cause in all
classes deep feeling of indignation and
sorrow. People go to extremes and de-
clare all the business of the war was
comedy got up by the Government and
king. The word treason is freely used.
This is not the opinion Of the irresponsi-
BILE, but Of the better classes-at one in
this instance, with the mass of the neo.
pie.

translated:
''This side is broiled sufficient to be

FLOOD IN OKLAHOMA.
GREAT WALL OF WATER SWEEPS
THROUGH GUTHRIE.
Many People Observation-Disclosures
Wrought by the Cottonwood R1ver-
Heaviest Rain in the Territory's His
torv-Scores of Farms swept Clear.
Awful Story of Devastation.

A terrible food in the Cottonwood river
suddenly ingulfed West Guthrie, .. T.,
shortly after sunrise Wednesday morning.
A deafening roar went up as the water
crushed houses and drove the people from
their homes. At the first rush every boat
and bridge were swept away. All West
Guthrie was submerged, and twenty CT
the business houses had ten feet of water
in them. The river rose thirty feet above
ordinary level. Hundreds of people sought
safety in trees. Several men who were
trying to swim the'current to reach four
women and baby in a tree were carried
away. A woman wading from her home
with baby on her head was swept away
and lost.
It is believed that more than score OF
negroes were drowned in the negro settle
ment and persons who escaped from the
flood estimate that fully fifty persons have
been drowned. Nine people were seen
to drown at Guthrie; two women and
child were carried away on bridge; one
man and two women were on house roof
when it went to pieces and they persisted.
A girl clinging in a peach tree for hours
gave up and fell into the water. 1t is
believed that many were caught in bed IN
small houses and drowned.
The heaviest rain in years fell through
out the territory Tuesday, and continu-
Gus downpour kept up for seven hours,
everything being flooded. Southwest
of Waterloo Il waterspout occurred, and
half a dozen farms were inundated. Near
Clifton, Lincoln County, scores of farms
have been swept Of everything and many
cattle and horses drowned. Near Cush-
ing, Payne County, dozens of people nave
been driven from their homes by hlgn
water. In the western part OF Logan
County several large bridges on the Clm-
AKRON and Cottonwood rivers have been
abandoned, and trains in every direction
are DELAYED by WashOuts.

Need Government Discipline.

Inspector Constantine of the Northwest
mounted police at Fort Cudahy, in the
Yukon district, reports that the territory
about the mouth of Mackenzie river and
the Herschell Islands demands the at
tcntion of the Government. Twelve steam
ers stayed there last winter. The crews
numbered from 1000 to 1900. These
vessels do not leave winter quarters until
about the middle of July. Each year a
vessel is loaded and sent from San Fran
cisco with a cargo of supplies for this
feet. Liquor is sold or traded to the ma
tives for furs, walrus, ivory and young
girls. The natives have also learned to
make liquor from dried fruit, sugar and
molasses. They are violent and danger
Gus when they have liquor. Last winter
it is reported that one tied up his daugh-
ter by the heels and whipped her to death.
Mr.. Whitaker, a missionary, and the
captain of the ship, tied up the man and
whipped him. The result was that the ma
tives threatened to make the missionary
leave the island.

OF Delivery to Foreigners.
A practice that has existed for some
years of delivering mails addressed TO
foreigners in the foreign labor colonies OF
the .large cities in bulk to saloons and
other places of general assemblage, there
to be sorted over and handed out in the
crowd, instead of delivering at the house
addresses, is being generally complained
Of. The complaints allege that in some
cities, like Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg and Chicago, carrier
acquainted with the foreign colony is en-
ployed, who, knowing the habits OF the
men, delivers their mail to their lodging
places, and that during the campaign OF
last year there were instances where ad-
vantage was taken of the crowds SO con-
gregated to make partisan speeches ana
otherwise manipulating politics while DIS
tributing the letters. The matter has
vexed the Postoffice Department and the
Civil Service Commission, and Assistant
Postmaster General Heath has about de-
cided on a step which may put an end to
the trouble

to attempt the leap and was suffocated
later in her apartment. Her husband es-

Wins the Most Memorable Political
Battle Of Kentucky.
W. J. Deboe was on Wednesday elected
United States Senator from Kentucky.
the vote stood:
Deboe ........ II Stone .......... /
Martin ........ II Blackburn $50. %
After the official declaration of the e.ec-
ton of Deboe there were such loud dem
onstrations that even the telegraph ofhces
in the lobby had to suspend business ana
only the bare ballot could be sent Out:
The excitement was intense, as it enoeo
a contest that has been waged since last
year. Senator Blackburn and his friends,
after fighting hard for over year IN the
regular and the extra sessions, went down
with their colors flying. The silver Demo
Gratis conceded their disappointment and
the gold Democrats joined in the jollihca-
ton. There never was such a scene in
the Kentucky State House. Senator De-
boe'proceeded to Washington at once with
his credentials, to assist in recognizing
the United States Senate, and in the pas
sage of the tariff and other measures on
which the lines are closely drawn.

WANTS CLEVELAND IN 1890.

Mr.. Bayard Says He Would Rejoice
to See Grover Again President.
A dispatch from London says: Ex-
Ambassador Bayard was much interested
in the report Of the Reform Club dinner
in New York and ex-President Cleve-
lands speech. When asked for his views
with regard to Mr.. Cleveland for Presi-
dent in 1900, he said: $50 far as my own
preference goes, however, and my regard
for the welfare of the United States is
concerned, / should rejoice to see Mr..
Cleveland again in the presidential chair.
Mr.. Cleveland is the logical leader Of the
Democracy, and if, as is entirely probable,
there should be no leaders SO capable
as Mr. Cleveland to take the helm in 1900,
l would be one of the first to ask him to
enter again upon the onerous task"

Loda township, and that trust estates
involving between 100000 and $25O,OOO
went down in the general crash
In the papers which he left Sheldon
assigned all his property to Ada G. Willis,
his cashier. The assignment was made
for the benefit of creditors, and with it
were directions to the cashier to give the
family what was left, if any, of the bank
er's estate after the creditors were salts
fed.
AS soon as the assignment became
known there was panic among the bust
ness men of both Watseka and Loda.
Sheldon was rated in the Chicago banks
at $15O,OOO. He had been in business In
Loda as a real estate dealer and banker
for twenty years, and this business, ex-
tended through several counties, was
closely connected with other institutions.

Traffic at Standsti11 and the Water
Still Rising.
At Ottumwa, Iowa, the river rose foot
during Sunday night, and is now higher
than at any time since 1876. The damage
will be enormous. The Burlington road,
which had been kept open with mighty
effort, gave up at II o'clock, cutting OF
main line communication between Chi
cago and Denver. Of the six railroads
the only trains moving were on the Wa
bash, from the south, and the MilWau-
kee, from the north. Even the
right of way fences in many cases
are out of sight on the Rock Island and
Burlington roads for miles. 1t is believed
the tracks are washed entirely away.
Even when the water recedes it will take
days to re-establish communica ton. All
nearby towns report conditions as bad.
The water flowed across the business por-
ton of South Ottumwa, and people were
in a panic. Hundreds Of men were put
to work on the levee at the west end Of
the city.

large variety, called "swifts" from
their remarkable speed in running,
seemed to be especially coveted.
Whenever one Of these was cauSnt,
which was not often, Moses Would pe

The lizard would promptly resolve IL

half running, half flying, Moses would

crowd, Of which only those on horse
back had much chance of keeping up.
It was in no sense cruel sport; IL
amused Moses and us, and didn't huft
the swift, for he got away every time,
and if the feelings of our pet were a
trifle injured, as he returned, perched
on some ones wrist or saddle-horn,
from his fruitless hunt, these were
speedily soothed by the prompt gift OF
a nice bit of fresh beef, SO no one was
the worse. The lizards, however, he
seemed to view as a sort Of dessert,

quantity, they were always in demand.

OF course, Moses was perfectly wen
able to catch the smaller kinds OF liz

exertion in allowing some one else 10
do it for him; and exertion, at this perl
cd of his life, was thing to which
Moses was violently opposed. These oc-
casions were almost the only ones
when he would be silent for any length
of time: for he seemed to understand
perfectly that at the first note OF MS
voice every lizard within hearing would
run for his life to the nearest refuge;
and only when a blow Of the stick
failed for the second or third time to
reach it's mark would he give utterance
to his deep disgust at such clumsiness.

MILLIONS IN A FIRE.
Pittsburg Is Visited bv the Worst
Blaze Since 1S45.

Blaze Since 1S45.
The greatest fire that has visited Pitts
burg, Pa, since the memorable one of
1916 started shortly after midnight Sun
day in the immense wholesale grocery
establishment of Thomas G. Jenkins.
Three large blocks, extending from Lib
erty to Penn avenue and from Fifth
street to Sixth street, have been reduced
to smoldeling ruins. The loss will ex-
coed $4,0OO,OOO, and is well covered by
insurance. Among the buildings de-
stroyed are Jenkins wholesale grocery
establishment, Horne's six-story dry
goods establishment, Horne's otnce build
ing, the Duquesne Theater, and the
Methodist Book Concern. The fire start
ed in the cellar of the jenkins building,
in pile of barrels filed with waste pa
per. The flames were discovered by
Waterman William Hunter while max
ing his rounds on the third floor. He had
smelled smoke earlier in the evening, but
believed that it came from the outside,
and had paid no attention to it.
