,KEOKUK, Ia, July 22.-The height

at Keokuk, and the fall will soon reach
southern points. Yesterdays rise of
foot more in the vicinity of Canton.
Quincy, Lagrange and Hannibal car
ried the water over thousands Of acres
previously uninjured. The highest wa
ter is between Lagrange and Gregory,
where food poured over the railroad
tracks and reached to the steps of the
coaches. The roadbed is good, and
trains are delayed only by slow rum
ming through water.
The last rise covered more wheat in
the shock which previously stood with
its butts in water Extension Of the
flooded district increased the total
damage, though not very great per-
centage on the enormous total Of mil
lions hitherto accomplished by the
food The greatest part Of the food
now is between Gregory, ten miles be-
low here, and Hannibal, sixty-fve
miles below. Farmers report much
greater loss than before. but estimates
approximating $G,O00,O0O damage over
seventy-fve miles of river frontage
will not be changed greatly.
The river here is full of debris. South

OIL Well Fire Put Out.

JENNINGS, La, July 22.-The fire In
the Haywood oil wells has been extin.
guished. Nine boilers of large capacity
were set in the field to the northeast

One of the lines was stationary and
the other movable, so as to follow the
flames and man was stationed at
each boiler to keep the steam pressure
up to 125 pounds. 1t is estimated the
combined boilers gave a 225 horsepoW-
er force. Two four inch water lines
were laid from the north with four
two inch connections and fifty feet
of hose on each connection and were SO
arranged that the flames could be COW

chemicals did not have to be used.

M'LAuRlN DECLINES.
President Had Appointed South Car.
Olina senator as Judge.

FfeEINent tt0u appointed Suush SUFs
Olina Senator as Judge.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y. July 22.-Pres.
ident Roosevelt is in receipt of letter
from Senator John l.. McLaurin of
South Carolina declining the proffered
appointment to the vacancy on the
bench of the United States court Of
claims. The president, ii can be said,
u!uch regrets Senator McLaurin's deci-
sion, as he believes that McLaurin's
senatorial experience and his career as
attorney general of South Carolina
would have rendered him particular
ly good addition to the court of claims.
The president now is uncertain what
he will do about Senator McLaurin. 1t
is understood that he is anxious to ap-
point him to some position in recogni-
tion of what the president regards as
his services to the country and his
demonstrated ability in public life.
Senator McLaurin's letter is couched
in the most positive terms and evident.
ly was based in particular upon a
newspaper article which accompanied
the letter. The article stated that the
senator had sold himself for the pros
pect of getting such an office as that
offered to him. 1t can be said. how
ever, that the president regarded such
4 type Of accusation as beneath notice
and sincerely regrets that Senator Nc
Laurin should have deemed it necessa-
~ to pay any attention to It.
Senator McLaurin evidently has
changed his mind about accepting the
proffered appointment since he was in
Oyster Bay Oh July II. At that time
he indicated his readiness to accept the
vacancy of the court of claims, and the
only question then was when he should
resign from the senate.

the proposed trolley line to West

Chester through Kenneth Square,
Oxford and Unionville to Brandy
wine Springs, there to connect with
the Peoples Railway to reach Will
mington. The line will be in oper-
alton early in the spring of 1903.
The railway runs through section
of the country which should make
it paying investment from the
start. Wilmington will, when this
road is completed, have three rail
ways running out of the city, with
one of their terminus located here:
the New Costle and Delaware City,
the Wilmington and Chester line
and the Wilmington and West Chess
ter lines. These should bring hun
dreds of visitors to Wilmington
