SERIOUS ILLINOIS FLOOD

Nigh water IN me Illinois, Fox, Des-
~ plsinss and sang%m"n. 49,
CHICAGO, March l4.-Reports received
hero show that serious floods are pre-.
vailin4 il tho northern portion Of nli-
nois, by the OVERLOOKING Of the Illinois,
Desplaines, Fox, Sangamon and Kan
kakee rivers. Much livestock and prop
erty have already been destroyed. +
At La Sale the Illinois river and
tributary streams are now ii feet above
normal height and still rising. Not
since 1892 has there been 80 much water
in this vicinity and if the rivers con-
tinue to rise during the next "a hours
tho damage to property will be enor-
NOUS. One pump at the waterworks is
already shut down, the engineers are
working in 20 inches Of water, and Su-
perintendent Walker says that one. foot
more Of water will mean the stoppage
Of the entire plant, thus placing the
city in jeopardy from fire.
The fires in the engine room Of the
Dickinson Cement works were extin-
guished and the kilns flooded. William
Chaplin and family were driven from
their home and water stands foot deep
on the floors Of the summer cottages.
At Peru Water street is flooded and
store Easements are filled with water,
icing much damage to merchants re-
aerve stocks. Fears are entertained
that the fires of the big Illinois Zinc
Company's works may be reached by
the rapidly rising water, which already
covers part Of the company's premises.
General Manager w. B. Brinton has
taken every precaution against the in
undation of the Peru Plow works. If
the water should rise two feet higher
500 workmen at that factory will be
thrown out Of employment.
At Peoria the Illinois river is out Of
it's banks and is doing considerable
damage along the valley. -;
At Havana the Herget levee on tbs
Sangnmon river broke during the night,
compelling 800 families to fee to higher
ground. Much stock has been lost. -
At Pontiac the Vermillion river is
higher than it has been for the last 80
years. Several negro families had "a
narrow escape from drowning and were
compelled to leave their residences fol-
safety.

TRUCE AGREED ON
Danger of. Civil War in Ken
lucky Passes Over for the
Present at Least.
Taylor to Act as Governor
Until the Courts Settle the.
Pending Contest.
The LEGISLATURE sDJOURNS
Final Act Appropriates $780,
600 as a "War Fund" for
Gov. Eeckham.
The LEGISLATURE tDJOURNS
Republicans Will Attempt to
Garry the Dispute to the
Federal Courts.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 14.-The leg
islature of Kentucky has adjourned
sine die. A conference between Adju-
tant Generals Collier and Castleman re-
suited in perfect understanding being
reached. Governor Taylor will con.
tinue to act as governor and Governor
Beckham will make no move toward
securing possession of the state build
ings until after the court Of appeals has
decided the disputed governorship. The
legislature appropriated 100000 for the
use of Governor Eeckham in reorganiz-
ing the state militia. This in brief is
the present situation in Kentucky poll
tics.
Among the more conservative element
in each party the opinion prevails that
the worst is over and that when the
court of appeals renders It's decision the
danger of civil war in the common
wealth, which has been terribly immi-
nent, will have entirely passed away.
To the Democratic leaders, with full
understanding Of the situation, only
One Cloud Appears on the Horizon
and that is Governor Taylor's future
course. Governor Taylor himself will
not outline his plan Of action beyond
the statement which he made to the
Associated Press correspondent that he
would "continue to act as governor"
Republicans in Governor Taylor's con-
fidence, however, say that he will re-
main at Frankfort in the discharge of
his duties until the court Of last resort
passes upon the question at issue. Then,
if the decision be against him, he will
step out at once and turn over the state
buildings to Governor Beckham. The
Republicans will make every effort to
carry the dispute into the federal courts
in case the decision Of the court Of ap-
peals is against them.
The Democratic leaders assert that
they will cheerfully abide by the deci.
sion Of the court Of appeals. But should
the decision be in their favor they will
insist on the occupancy of the state
buildings, peaceably if possible, but
forcibly if necessary.

 The Republican booth is next, where subscrip lions may be left for the great est daily in the southwest. The Phoe- nix Stationery and News Co.,, Doris Bros, furniture dealers, w. E. Rhodes and the Hub clothing store, all have windows that are attractive and will repay examination.
 The Bente-Javins company has a booth display that is very novel. The central figure is a mammoth wheel, and surrounding it are numerous smaller wheels and everything that pertains to a bicycle. The stand is neatly dressed and arranged as con- siderable expense.
 The McDougol. Gage company has a sand in front of it's store that proves a great center of attraction. It is arranged to please the eye from the outside and within are some of the pret- tiest specimens of burnt lea, her, bls- kets. decorated canes and general nov cities. The burnt leather is the plin- cipal feature, though there are many attractions. Flags enter largely into the decorations.
 J. R. Para has a big confection booth adjoining and his enterprise is netting him good returns. He sells soft drinks in connection.
 The s. F., P. and P. railroad and the Wakelin drug store are all nicely trimmed with colors.
 On the south side of the street. be- tween Center and first avenue, there are no booths. bu- the business fronts are most of them nicely Ornamented, some very profusely.
 Beginning at the Fleming block, the visitor enters upon the central section of carnival activity. That is, it is the block immediately adjoining the queens throne and carnival headquar- ters. The Phoenix National bank, Wakelin's grocery store, Plank, the halter, and the Wilson 6 Wool ridge store are all nicely deco rated in front. and those having show windows have not failed in their duty toward them. The first booth is that of the Arizona bakery, where all the virtues of mothers bread are set forth. The stand is well arranged. Next comes the booth of P. l.. Andrews 6, Son, bicycles and photographers supplies. It is one of the most inter- esting and is filled with pictures char aoteristic of this region. There are

ANOTHER PEORIAN.-JeanB Brown, con of Deloss Bdown, of Peoria, Illinois, came in yesterday. He is looking ar ter his fathers extensive real estate holdings in the valley.
 PROBATE COURT.-In the estate of John E. Aver, appraisers were appoint ed in probate court yesterday, and decree of notice to creditors was or dered. The final account of the ad- mlnistrator of the estate of Mrs. T. A. Johnson was received on Monday, De- .cember Y was fixed for the hearing.
 A PEORIA VISITOR.-Charles Bal lance, a distinguished citizen of Peoria, Illinois, arrived from the land of per petual shiver yesterday morning. He is delighted, of course, and will probably invest in orange lanw and grow up with the country Mir. Balance is an old friend of Will Foster, s. M. Me Cowan and other Peorians.
 FROM HOLBROOK.-Edfto H. A. Pease, of the HoIbrook Argus, is down
 to see the big show. This is his first visit to the valley and he is delighted and hcarmed.
 CARRIAGES.-A visitor to the car nival said yesterday that something
 should be done to keep carriages away
 from the vicinity of the queens throne during the events that take place there. One reason is that one man with q vehicle takes up as much room ! as twenty five equally anxious sight seers and pays nothing for his privi- ! lege. A far better reason is that any horse is liable to become frightened and should one do so in big crowd Of
 women and children, disastrous re-
 suits might follow.

hundreds of other things as well and they are arranged in @ way to attract attention. It is a well ordered dis play.
 The Curio follows in regular order, and is also a unique exhibition. The
 nature of the goods handled by the | Curio enables the managers to make
 an excellent display. Navajo blankets form the groundwork of the picture, and Indian baskets of numerous vari- i ety; curios, burnt leather goods and Q | thousand novelties go to complete a display that is interesting alike to resi- i dent and tourist. The draping of the booth is also we'll done and it is so arranged that it can be locked up with
 q blanket for ;he night. MT. Benham ! has been active in booming the car nival. and his booth reflects great cred i 1t upon kim.
 1 DavidsOn's cash store is represented | by Q booth that catches the eye of the l grown person and is a perfect paradise 1 for children. Its leading display is of dolls and toys and one cannot look al
 it without the thought at once com 1 ing to his mind that Christmas will be here before the carnival is fairly out 1 of the way. Davidson's was one of ! the first erected, and stands well a | comparison with the rest of them. i The H. H. McNeiu Co. has a hand some booth also. its leading features l being Navajo blankets and masks. It l is also arranged with great care and
 with an eye for beauty.
 ! J. F. Grain has a confectionery store
 in the next booth, and his exhibition is
 we'll worthy the compliments it re-
 celves.
 | The Valley creamery has booth
 that does credit to the fair and from
 which creamery products, nice sweet | huttermilk, etc, are dispensed. Then comes the carnival headquarters booth,
 a work Of art, and in the vicinity the decorations of Clark's place, the
 Ford hotel, Valley Abs s,ract Co.,, A. J 1 Bradley anI dozen other places.
 The queens throns is passed for the reason ;hat it has already been fully | described. On the south side of the block is the display of McKee's cash
 store. a booth of large dimensions and embracing practically a whole up-to- | date grocery store. The structure is
 a verftable early day brush house, and
 adds novelty to the scene. A coffee pot big enough to brew Ankola for the
 whole town, is at one end of it. A phonograph stand is situated some distance down the line and close to ii
 is the booth of the ladies of the First | M. r. church. where hot lunches are ! served in the real Methodist fashion. 1 F. ". Spears has a handsome booth next to the ticket office for the grand stand, and has it filled with Chinese 1 and Japanese bric-a-brac, etc. Be yond the grand stand is the big booth

 That closes the street fair though de-
 corations extend much farther.

 a. the cross streets. particularly Gen. 1 ter. north and south, from the Con-
 mercial to the Hotel Adams, are liber- 1 ally decorated. Many smaller places i are necessarily, but unintentionally
