PRINCE OF WALES WILL REIGN
The Greatest and Most Universally Be-
loved Sovereign of the World Passes
Away-A Long Career Ter
inmates.

Queen Victoria is dead! The news
of the death Of the aged and world
loved sovereign of the British EN-
pire has caused the whole world
TO bow in humble respect, and to
laud the name OF this great and good
woman. For sixty three years she
has been good and noble queen,
and her Geath is perhaps the most
important one that has occurred in
the lifetime of most people now on
earth. Victoria was always a loyal
friend to the United States, and at
the time of the civil war her inter
ference with the policy of her min
listers no doubt prevented actual
war between this country and Eng
land She was nearly eighty-two
years of age. She has been succeed
ed by the Prince of Wales.
The queen was a NOBLE aud UNI
selfish woman, ADD her death takes
from the world its greatest crowned
head President Mckinley referred
to the queen lately "as the great
and the good queen. +"

successful in all points. Light re
freshments we're served at each.

Will take more explaining than Mr..
Bryan is able to make to prove to
the members of the order here that
he is as pure ard -spotless as "De
Milk in de Cocoanut. ~ For a second
count the man who has been sign.
ing his name to other peoples writ
ings denies owing So to THE TIMES
for election tickets, The circum-
stances were this way: In July, 1897,
Mr.. Bryan called at The TIMES Of
fee aud said that he wanted some
school election tickets, which
amounted to So. We told him that
we would print them if he would
guarantee the payment, to which he
agreed, saying that he had arranged
with the candidate whom he was
pushing that the tickets would be
pad for by him (Bryan.) Ia due
time we asked Mr. Bryan for a
settlement, and he repeatedly prom
.sed to pay, and never denied the
Indebtedness or Indicated that we
were to look elsewhere for it until
within the present month But Of
course, he is an honest mamie
comedies it himself-oh, how noble.
4 m too much tor Johnnie Jones. !"
he says. That reminds US Of the
story of the freshman who said to a
friend: You should have been up
to the democratic club last night,
we had some OF the most elegint
speechmaking We ever heard " Is
that So said the friend, II had not
heard of it; "who made the speech
esq" "Oh, " replied the Irishman,
there was Mike O'Brien, Pat Ma
honey, and meself, but the others
didn't say much" Ted 5 display of
egotism is about on a par with that
OF the fellow in the story, and he
wants people to be sure and know
"that he is too much for Johnnie
Jones, and he is modest" enough
to tell them himself, for fear they
haven found it out.
Now Ted, you had better let a
man who understands English con-
tinue to edit your copy, as you
made a mighty poor fist of it last
week; you are doing no better with
tie pencil than you did with the
horsewhip the time'you were going
TO use it on your chum Yates.

appears to have been IN sympathy
with the taxpayers, declined 10 per-
NIT the use of the bridge until the
company had paid him what was

for the amount he refused to accept
it and then when a train was sent to
secure the money the engine was de-.

however, although on legal holt

FIGHT FOR BONDS
The County Aid Bonds Question Now
Before the Court.
$4,000 STANDS IN DISPUTE
The Case of Herman and bayfield, County
for Possession of County Bonds of
bayfield, County is Now
Being Tried.

]. Attorney Alvord and Chairman
McBeath, of this city, and Attorney
San born, of Ashland, and most Of
The members of the county board,
besides a number of other witnesses
from other parts of the county, left
Sunday night for Milwaukee, where
the case of the County ADD Herman,
for the possession of the railroad
aid bonds, amounting to $50, 900 for
the Bayfield, and Western division,
will be tried in the circuit court.
Messrs. Alyord and Sanborn repre-
sent the county, and Fl. H. Hayden,
of Eau Claire, will appear for Her
mann, and incidentally for the Sabin
interests. This is the matter which
has been before the county board
for some time, and which has hung
IN the air for over year. The facts
and the circumstances are all in
favor of the county, but there is a
feeling of doubt as to what the re-
suit will be, as Mr. Hayden s ap-
Ipearance for the defense undOubted-
ly suggests that hard battle is on.
Mr.. Sabin and his associates have
very successfully gained possession
of all previous bonds, and have by
their manipulations, made the
county stock worthless.
If this case should go against
the county, which ought not to be
even probability, the county BOARD
should see TO it that the county's
rests are protected, and that If
there is to be any earning value at
tached to the road, that the county
comes in for its share of the divid-
ends. The following regarding the
case appeared in the Evening Wis
consin Monday.
The effort of Bayfield, county to
avoid the liability for bonds to the
amount of $4,000 pledged for the
building Of the Bayfield, & Iron River
railroad came before Judge Elliott IN
the circuit court this morning and
was productive of a number Of
sensational developments as to the
methods claimed to have been re-
sorted to by taxpayers Of Bayfield,
county to defeat the building of the
road The county asserts that the
railroad was not completed ia the
time designated in the agreement.
while the company declares that it
has lived up to all the conditions and
50 entitled to the bonds.
There is a difference of bat less
than one day. The county claims
the road should have been completed
by midnight on the night of Novem-
Der 30, 1892 while the railroad as
serts that it had until midnight of
December l. As a matter of fact
the road was completed and trains
were run as required by the agree
ment by about 7o'c'ock on the morn
ing of December L.
1t appears that the taxpayers,
lorg before the road was built be-
came tired of the agreement that the
Supervisors had made aud they are
charged with having resorted to ex-
IRENE measures to prevent the com
pany from completing the line. Tt
is charged that telegraph poles were
cut down, the wires destroyed, rails
soaped and CREASED and engines de-
rallied Then when the company
seemed certain to succeed, the

DESTRUCTIVE STORM STRIKES
PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO

In addition there is the enormous In
direct damage caused by tlIS complete
suspension of trade. What that
amounts to no one can determine en-
actly. and estimates simply reflect the
conservative or radical character of
the computer.
At Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, the
damage by the flood and storm was
considerable.
The first direct communication from
Washington, Pennsylvania, tonight
says: CHARTERS creek is Il raging tor
rent and has overtiowed its banks in
hundreds of places.
Waynesburg is isolated and many
houses there are flooded.
At Aticanna about twenty houses
were wrecked.
Fifty thousand workers are sufr ering
from enforced idleness.
Big land slides occurred on the Lake
Erie and Baltimore X Ohio at Shosho,
on the Panhandle, on the South Side.
the Bessemer at several points and the
Allegheny Valley near Franklin, Penn
sylvania. The slide at Shosho was $50
feet long. and 1t required fourteen
hours work to clear one track.
The submerged districts in Pittsburg
and Allegheny are to-day scene Of
abject misery. Cellars, and in some
instances the first floors of stores and
dwellings. are covered with water.
Where the flood has subsidized it has
left behind n greasy, yellow scum two
to three inches deep.
Cincinnati, April 21.-There has been
more alarm throughout the Ohio val
ley to-day on account of floods than at
any period since February, 1884. when
the Ohio river reached it's highest
stage of seventy-one feet nine inches
at this city. Most of the Inhabitants
of the valley spent the night in antici-
patton of the worst flood ever known
in the valley. as they will not know
until tomorrow that the water has
begun falling Mt Pittsburg.
Until this news reached river men
here tonight it was feared that the
record of 1854 might be broken. but
now it is generally believed that the
river will not exceed the floods of Feb
ruary. 1897. and Of March. 1898. when
it reached siXty-one feet at Cincinnati.
The present food is the worst that
has ever been known so late in the
spring. The first week in April. 1886.
the river reached tifty-tive feet and
nine inches in this city, and that was
the highest water ever known so late
in the spring. There has been no flood
in the Ohio valley since March, 1888.
