THE DAY.
BE Crowned between August .
and 12-PrOcessiOn Abandoned.

London, July lit was officially
stated Friday that the coronation of
King Edward will take place between
August s and August IL. The pro-
posed procession has been abandoned
1t is officially announced that there
will be no royal programme, as orig
inally planned, the day after the
coronation, and there will be no pro.
cession apart from that in which
their majesties will proceed from
Buckingham palace to Westminster
abbey and return.
1t is now considered practically
certain, in view of this announce
ment, that King Edward will be
crowned Saturday, August 9, since
the holding of the coronation cere-
mony Monday, August IL, would in
volve another full. bank holiday, with
the attendant ~dislocation of general
business, while Saturdays are almost
universally observed as half holidays.
The fixing of such an early date for
the coronation is regarded as an adj
ditional guarantee of the confidence
the kings physicians have in a con-
%tinuance of his rapid recuperation.

Hangs Himsef on His Fifty
Ninth Birthday.

Belleville, ILL.,, July 12.-William
Fable celebrated his tifty-ninth
birthday Friday by hanging himself
in a coal shed, in the rear of his resi-
dence, All East street.
His body was found by Mrs. Jacob
Roth, who went to the shed to get
coal and bumped against the swing
ing form of her neighbor.
A faint heart caused Fable to end
his life. He was SO years old Friday.
His wife and six children were de-
pendent upon his labors. He was
without work and had passed the
meridian of his usefulness. Life held
barren hopes, he thought. So, while
his wife was preparing a birthday din
ner, in order that the anniversary
should be fittingly celebrated, her
husband was soaping the rope with
which he ended his life.

HELD ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Doctor Arrested In kansas for Al.
legged Connection with h Shoot
ing of Miss Maud Holmes.

MCPHERSON, Kas., July 11.-Dr. A. b.
Ryno has been arrested on a warrant
sworn out at Gaha for alleged con
nection with the shooting of Miss
Maud Holmes, who was fatally wound.
ed here on Sunday night, the 5th, by
some one who fired a load of buck
shot through her bedroom window,
DR.. Ryno is "a years old and the head
of a family. He has lived in McPher'
son county for rs years. He was
overcome by his arrest and to-day is
in a state of collapse. He denies all
knowledge of the shooting. There is
no known motive for the shooting Of
Miss Holmes, who belongs to n OF
the most prominent families in the
community.
Detectives have collected a mass OF
letters written to Miss Holmes be-
fore she was shot, dated at various
points in Mcpherson county and
signed in different names. One writ
ten at Galva had first been sent to
the postmaster at Toledo, o., who re-
mailed it to her. Another represented
the writer to be a wealthy widower
seeking a wife. The handwriting is
said to correspond with specimens OF
Ryno's penmanship. When arrested
Ryno was taken to the Holmes resi-
dence and identified as a man who
had previously called there under the
name of George A. Clark. Ryno has
a wife and grown children and is well
to do. He was so i'll to-day that it
was necessary to postpone his pre-
liminary hearing.
Miss Holmes continues in a critical
condition. She has been unable to
make a statement.

At An ALARMING STAGE.
The Flood In the Des Moines and
Racoon Rivers, in Iowa, Be-
come Quite Serious.
At THE HIGHEST POINT SINCE 1851.
and n Vas mou of Property
Destroyed-The City In Danger of
stoppaae of the Water and Power
Works.

Des Moines, July 1.-THE flood sit
uation reached its most alarming
stage in the history of the city early
Thursday morning. The Des Moines
river was 81 feet above low water
mark at seven o'clock, having risen
three feet in less than ten hours. 1t
is still rising at a rapid rate. The
Racoon river, which empties into the
Des Moines at this place, advanced
four feet between three and 1880
o'clock Thursday morning, and is still
going up.
The flood is at the highest point
since 1851, when the river was six
feet deep ove what is now occupied
by thousands of residences, business
houses and factories. At that time
the river was but one foot higher
than at present, and it is evident that
the old record will soon be broken.
Nothing but levees protect all this
district, and in two score places they
have either broken or given away.
Men Working Desperately.
Hundreds of men are working des-
perately along the levees to save
their homes and property. but the
water is slowly driving them from
their possessions. Residents of South
Des Moines kept an anxious vigil all
night long, and at four o'clock, ow-
ing to the breaking of a large Sec
ton of the levee, We're forced to flee.
Many thrilling rescues by boats are
reported. Thousands of dollars worth
of property was destroyed in 80 min
utes in South Des Moines, and it Is
now practically cut off from the rest
Of the city. Four feet of water is
rushing through a district of 20
blocks of residences. In Des Moines
a wide breach in the levee occurred
at eight O'Clock, and 400 residents
were forced to abandon their homes
and much of their property.
An Impending Danger.
The situation is intensified by the
necessity of closing down the water
works if the river advances another
foot, and the city will be absolutely
without water for domestic consump-
ton, factory use or fire protection.
Hundreds of men are constructing a
temporary levee about the water
works, but the water rises almost as
fast as they work. Street car traffic
has been abandoned on a number OF
lines, and will have to be abandoned
all over the city in a short time ow-
ing to water putting out the fires I'M
der the boilers of the power house.
1t is reported from Abel, FIT. Dodge
and other places above Des MONIES
that the rivers are still rising which
is a greater menac to this city.
Great western Bridge n Wreck.
The Rock Island railway claims to
have resumed trains on almost its
regular schedule, and the Northwest
ern is making satisfactory time on
it's main lines. The Milwaukee &
Great Western continue to suffer
most. Another span of the Great
Western bridge at this place went
out Thursday morning, the bridge
now being almost a total wreck.
The Des Moines race track is sub
merged. Two hundred horses IN
training there for the race meeting
that was to open next week were re
moved during the night. The race
meeting has been abandoned.
