FAR only one life has been lost IN this
city. Michael Igol was drowned TINS
morning in the kitchen of his nome.
The height of the food was reached
at & o'clock this morning, when the riv-
er, which had expanded to twice It's
width. began slowly to recede. Com
munication by the telegraph and tel
enbone with towns on the upper part
of the river was cut off. The informa-
zion is meager. The flood was antici-
pated and much property stored in the
buildings along the river banks moved

age however, has been done In this
city. The water was swept back from
the wharf lines Tor tnree piockS III Soiie
places, surrounding dwelling houses,
great manufacturing plants, inundat-
ing tracks and causing chaotic condi-
ton that will take many days to eradi-
cate. Several hundred sheep and hogs
at the Abattoir yards We're drowned.
Probably the greatest sufferer is the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The road
has abandoned service over it's main
line, sending out trains by other routes.

both to it's authors and the parties at
interest the bill will next week come
before the senate and will likely pass.
The reformatory bill has been left In
much better condition than it was be-
fore the senate reconsidered its hasty
action and adopted certain amend
ments. The bill will now meet the OBJ
jections of those who have feared 1t
would not stand the test of the courts.
The parole and pardoning power Is
left with the governor to be exercised
on the suggestion or report OF the
board of control, and the indeterminate
feature is confined within certain limits
to be set by the trial judges. Blanchard
appears to be the only kicker in the
senate at the present time on the bill.
While pretending to be for it he has
attempted to ridicule some of its best
features, and is prepared to take 1T UP
at the next time the bill comes UP for
consideration. But the fact remains, as
a prominent member said last evening
that Iowa is far and away behind other
states of its class and ought to begin
to do something for reform in penology
Criticism has been made of the bill be-
cause it gives convicts a better oppor-
tunity for an education and to learn q
trade than non-convicts. There is not
much force to. this argument. One
matter not yet considered, however. Is
the effect the reformatory will have
on labor and the labor element. Some
opposition might have been expected
from this source.
The BARRIERS of Abba have presented
to the legislature a formal protest
against the barber bill. which is de-
nounced as measure in the interest
of few BARRIERS. And the bill never
had ghost of show of passing.

Germany Will Save.

Berlin, March 1.-The German gov
ernment will save 25,oo0,o00 marks a
year as the result of the convention
agreed upon at the international sugar
conference and set forth by the Metro
pole of Antwerp. In view of the budget
deficit, this is no inconsiderable item.
Furthermore, the government has long
been wanting to get rid of the bounty
system If it could do so without giving
ether states an advantage.
The bounties began when Germany
did not export sugar. They grew with
out design to inordinate proportions
thru the wording of the law. which did
not anticipate the improved process of
sugar production.
The abolition of bounties gives gen
cral satisfaction thruout Germany, ex-
ccpt the sugar interests.

To Bessianed at Once.

Vienna, March 1.-Barring unex-
rected difficulties, the convention
agreed upon at the international sugar
conference will be signed on March l..
In addition to the basis referred to by
the Metropole at Antwerp, the conven-
ton is understood to have decided to
impose countervailing duties on sugar
from states continuing to grant boun-
ties or granting bounties in the future.
Possibly clause may be inserted
providing against any great influx OF
foreign sugars to states joining in the
convention during an abnormal move
,nent of prices.
