FLOOD AT WINONA.
Railroad Traffic In and Out Almost
Suspended.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June IA spe-
cial to the Tribune from Winona- Mimi,
says:
At 5 o'clock yesterday Afternoon Win
ona was the center of a perfect down
pour OF rain which lasted for several
hours. The officials of the railroads
centering in the city put to work hum
dreds of men repairing their tracks and
making new fills. From reports re-
ceived the creeks and rivulets already
swollen to rivers are pouring their
muddy waters over the tracks and re-
ducing them to their former shapeless
mass. In the streets the water was
almost even with the curb and tenn
porary walks had to be erected by the
authorities. WoodIawn cemetery suf-
fered heavily. In the leVee parks many
feet of walks were torn out.
A telephone message from Stockton
and Minnesota City says the creeks
there are over their banks and rising
hourly, the waters finding an outlet in
the valleys below and carrying every
thing movable before them. The city
officials estimate the damage by the
present storm and that of Sunday at
about $4,000, while in the country it is
impossible to estimate it. Railroad
officials say their damage will reach
5000, 200, while the storm now raging
may almost double that. The only
train running out of the city is the
Burlington, and that with a very indef-
mite service.

today will be the starting point of
things which think will be wholly vic
ious. I shall fight against them, but I
have no idea that if this motion car
ries the Peoples party will show the
same forbearance they did in the past.
You know that under Governor Level
ling and again under Governor Leedy
we could have taken possession of the
three state educational institutions. We
could have kicked out every Republi-
can and put in Populists, but we did
not; and when we reOrganiZed this in
Stitution we hired more Republicans
then Populists. We hired two profess
sors in economics who did not believe in
the cardinal doctrine of our party. If
this resolution passes 1 believe in 1901,
if the Peoples party comes to power,
there is very serious danger that they
will reorganize every educational insti-
tuition in this state in a way which eV-
cry friend of non-partisan education
must deprecate.''
The question was put and the resolu-
ton passed by a strict party vote.

HIS REASON LEFT HIM.
Sad Ending of a Young Slav's Bicycle
Trip.

Monongahela, June 14.-John Voloskf,
an industrious Slav miner living at
GaIIatin, left his home Thursday morn
ing to take a ride on his bicycle in the
country. He had considerable money
on his person. He did not return home
that night as was his intention.
Nothing was heard of him until yes
terday, when he suddenly appeared
without his bicycle, and his clothes COW
cred with blood. He undertook to tell
his story, but only got as far that he
had stopped somewhere for supper;
when at this point he lost his reason
and became violently insane.
At 10 o'clock that night he secured a
knife and threatened the lives of his
neighbors, but was finally overpowered
and securely bound. 1t is thought that
he had been drugged and robbed some
where near the Youghiogheny river.
The money which he had on leaving
home could not be found on his person
and he was unable to tell where he had
stopped for his supper.
County Detective McCleary and Chief
of Police Kelly this morning put him
under arrest and brought him to this
place. He will be taken to the county
poor house.

the town refused to change the ar
engagements. being satisfied with the
contract with the Americans, whose
pipe was better and cheaper.
1t was also pointed out that the spec
ifications called for pipe of a certain
quality and shape which the French
could not make. The ambassador re-
quested that the specifications be al
tered to suit the French pipe, but the
town declined for the reason that the
best engineering skill favored the
American article.
The consul transmits specifications of
the proposed waterwOrkS for the town
of Nicolatiev which he desires brought
to the attention of American firms with
a view to their bidding.

A FAMOUS DISH.
With a New and savory Flavor.

Chop beef, mutton or pork into a
nash. Take a quantity of Grape Nuts
equal to half the amount of meat. Mix
into the Grape Nuts a raw egg and

WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS
The nth article If tho Const;tutio

The nth article OF the Constitution
Of the United States provides:
"No state shall deprive any person
of life, liberty or property, without
due process of law, nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws"
And section 9 OF article declares;
"The citizens of each state shall lie
entitled to all privileges and immuni-
ties of citizens in the several states"
Applying these provisions to the
conditions in the Couer d'Alenes, the
Olegon;an says:
"One of the privileges of citizen
of Idaho is the right to sell his labor
on his own terms in any lawful in
dustry; one of the rights of citizen
of Idaho or the citizen of any other
state is protection for his property.
The governor of Idaho either cannot
or will not protect the non-union
men in their right to sell their la
Dor at their own price, from violence
and murderous assault"
Fortunately it will not be necessary
to spin so fine theory of the lawful
right of the authorities Of the United
States to interfere for the suppression
of the Couer d Alene disorders. The
rioters have been guilty OF double in
fraction of the laws of the United
States, The train they siezed to bear
them from Canyon creek to Wardner
carried the United States mails and
they were consequently guilty of vio-
lating the laws forbidding interference
with these mails.
They were further guilty OF direct
violation OF the Injunction issued by
Judge Beatty of the United States
court for Idaho, forb1lding them
from tresspassing on the property of
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan COM
pany, or in any way interfering with
the management of that company.
There is ample constitutional and
statutory law back OF the presence of
the United States troops in the Occur
d. Alenes.-Review.
Governor. Steunen berg has taken
the right horn of the dilema by send
ing an active representative to the
scene. The result is Sheriff Young
shcrn OF his authority and locked up
in Jail, impeachment proceedings in
stituted against the county attorney
and two commissioners, many arrests
have been made and the escaped riot
ers are on the run.

STATE Food Commissioner, E. A.
Mcdonald has decided not to begin
the rigid enforcement of the pure
food law until Sept. l, to allow all
dealers sufficient time TO comply with
the provisions of the new act. In the
mean time the state chemist, Prof
Elton Fulmer, of the State Agricul-
tural College, at Pullman, is making
analysis of divers food products gen.
orally on sale in the state to deter
mine If they comply with the required
conditions as to purity, etc. The
pure food law went into effect April
/, but its enforcement was p, stponed
by Commissioner Mcdonald to allow
dealers to familiarize themselves with
its provisions. Many of the dealers
while announcing themselves in favor
of the new law, contend rigid en-
forcement at this early date would
work great hardship upon them.
At the request of the wholesalers and
jobbers of Spkane, Seattle and Tacoma
the decision to allow an extension OF
time until September ! was made
Commissioner Mcdonald announce:
that beyond that date no further len
iency will be shown, and the law viii
be rigidly enforced.

To keep aloof from our fellow men
because they differ from us in poll
tics, or in religion, or in nationality
because they take different sides OF
mooted questions, because they are
richer or poorer, more fashionable or
less so, or because their advantages in
any respect exceed or come short OF
our own, is to cramp our own natures
to shut out treasures of information
and improvement in thousand I'M
known ways. To give and to receive
is the law of all healthful happy So
cial life; but to restrict our compan-
ionship to our own prototypes, who
do not need us and whom we do not
need, is to antagonize one of natures
best means of beneficence.

; The old rhyme, which in the sedate
age when it was written was quite I'M
usual, was first published in England
in 1S45.-It read thus:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe,
Around the world thought shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do,
How strange, yet shall he true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride
And no horse nor mule be at his side
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In black, in white, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found mid stone,
In land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England at last shall admit Jew,
And tins world to AID end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
