Her name in print you often see;
OF sli new women in the land
There's not one more new than she
She lectures. writes, and is. in fact,
A sturdy leader OF her kind;
She wears a vest, suspenders, and
IL noted for her breadth OF mind.
Yet when she goes TO bed at night,
She kneels beside it-not in prayer.
But just to look beneath to zee

SOME STRAIGHT TALK.

The Chicago Journal, which earnestly
supported the candidacy of President
Mckinley last fall, and is one of the
ablest republican newspapers in the
west, is frank enough to declare that the
result of the elections in Chicago and
Cincinnati shows Enthusiastically that the
political tide is now turning against the
republicans and in favor of democracy
The reasons for the disastrous defeat OF
the republicans in Chicago, the Journal
sums up as follows:
"Continued idleness among working
men, continued depression among bust
ness houses, the failure of those great
chunks of prosperity to put in their APP
rearance on schedule time-these were
the things that gave the democratic
candidate his majority over his three ri
walls.

ty years lease of power which fool pol
iticians have been talking about in def
ance of the revolutions and counter rev.
oluuons of the last twelve years. Prin
ciples that appeal to the intelligence
when they are correctly stated are hurt
not helped, by false representations ano
false promises, and the American voter
at present is trying to get through the
lies and at the facts -

s1OO,OOO,OOO DAMAGE.
Great Destruction Wrought by the Flood
Along the Mississippi.

Great Destruction Wrought by the Flood
Along the Mississippi.
1t is est mated that the Mississippi
floods will cut the cotton crop short q
100000 bales, representing a financial
loss OF about $50, 100000. The loss of
other crops, the destruction of homes
and farms and the droN ming of live stock
added to this will run M the total
damage to vast sum, going beyond the
800, 200, 600 mack.
Some very interesting figures on the
damage done by the flood are given in
detail in report just issued by the ag-
rcultural department at Washington.
The report gives the actual damage up
to April 9th, and, therefore, does not en-
brace The entire loss. Up to that time
however the total flooded area was 15,-
800 square miles, of which about 5000
square miles of territory was in Mis-
sissippl, $500 in Arkansas, l, $50 in Mis-
sour, 200 in Tennessee and a small
amount in Louisiana. This region con
! tanned in 1890 about 358,000 people.
| OF these 1856, 600 were in Mississippi.
| 100, 600 in Arkansas and the remainder
are distributed in Missouri and Tennes-
see. 1t is estimated that the flooded
district OBTAINED 80, 800 farms. The to-
tai value Of these farms distributed in
four states is put at S65, 600, 900. The
live stock on these farms reached a
value of $7,50O,000, with farm products
on hand to the amount OF 50, 1906
more, This submerged region produc-
ed last year about BIC, 600 bales of cotton
valued at close on $13, 100000; over H.
100000 bushels of corn, worth about So.
100000 and wheat oats, potatoes and
hay worth over S800,OO1 more.
! A fair idea may be had from the above
of the terrible calamity that has befaller
the people of che Mississippi country
1t will be several years before the farm.
9ers of that section can recover from the
effects of the food.
