Keokuk, Ia, July 19.--The floods
caused by the heavy rains are sweep
ing down ON the 800 square miles Of
farming country between this place
and Hannibal, Mo-, and 1t is declared
that loss of S4,000,00O to the farmers
of this district will result. A more
conservative estimate reduces this fig
ure to 50, 100000. Hundreds of farm
ers are facing utter ruin.
There seems to be no hope for the
country between the Mississippi river
and its Missouri bluffs between Keo-
kuk and Hannibal, mostly corn laid
by with several thousands of acres of
wheat in the shock.

instances which had come TO his notice
illustrating the growth Of Methodism. He
was followed by Bishop McCabe, who told
OF the wonderful growth Of Methodism in
South America. The Methodists there, he
said, are disputing the ground with Roman

NOT IN CONTEMPT
Judge Munger Decides There is Nothing in
Union Pacifc's Case.
REBUKEs COMPANY FOR BRINGING SUIT
Court IntimRtes that Railroad Law
yers should Have Known Their
Evidence Was insufficient
to Sustain Allegations.

Judge Munger gave his decision in the
Union Pacific strikers contempt case yes
terday, in which he denied the allegations
of the railroad company and discharged
the strikers. Although the case has been
one of Importance attracting much atten-
tion on account OF the positions Of the
parties at suit, there was but little inter-
est shown In the judges decision Monday
morning, because those who had followed
the case could see beforehand that It had
only one side.
In announcing his decision Judge Munger
said that the charges made by the Union
Pacific in the Firth and Tillman affairs. IN
which the railroad charged that strikers
had violated the injunction in accosting
these men. had not been proven beyond a
reasonable doubt, as is necessary in cases
of this nature.
In regard TO the picket line. the court
failed to see from the evidence furnished
that the strikers had been otherwise than
peaceful in this regard. 1t had not been
established by any testimony that any
thing had been lone in violation Of the
injunction or in violation of the law.
These things being considered, he ruled
in favor Of the defendants and dismissed
the case.
Judge Munger further administered what
might be taken as a rebuke to the Union
Pacific for bringing the case into court,
He said that he could not see why 1t
should believe 1t had a case against the
strikers without more evidence than 1t
brought into court.
Judge n. Baldwin, attorney for the
Union Pacific, was absent this morning,
being in St. Louis before the court of
appeals. The railroad was represented by
Charles Dundy.
