THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD
Many Miles Of Fertile Farm Land Gov
cred BY Water.

Keokuk, la, July 21.-Exploration
Of the flooded district Of the Mississip-
pi river from Keokuk south shows
conditions beyond the appreciation or
realization of any but those of long
experience with the Father of Waters
in its most destructive mood. The
situation is growing worse hourly
and great confagration would not be
more rapidly destructive. There is
not the slightest chance of stopping
this most costly food in the history of
the great river. People at the river
cities give accounts Of losses aggre-
eating many millions Of dollars. Hun
dreds Of farmers rich ten days ago
are penniless and homeless.
Careful estimates gathered from the
statements Of best informed people in
dicate the loss up TO date is about sG.-
100000, with every prospect Of two
or three millions additional by the rise
above. not yet reaching the lower
stretches Of the river. Most OF this
loss is on the Missouri side Of the
river between Keokuk and Hannibal.

FEDERAL AID COMING.

of Good Roads.

While the good roads moyem.n.
las yielded tangible and practical ra'
suits in a few states the necessi,.
of federal aid and cooperation in N.
building of state highways has Ion.
been recognized. The fact that each
state concerns itself with its o,,,

of permanent value must not onl,.
reach across state boundary lines IN
many instances but must ultimatsIv
form parts of II great connected in.
terstate system of country roads.
Its close and vital relation to in.
terstate commerce therefore makss
the good roads movement a question
of as much national interest as m.

since the establishment of the gov.
crnmcnt, nearly half billion dollars
If the millions that have been ex.
pended in the Improvement" of nm.

had been expended in the building of

eft to commerce and to agriculture
would have been far greater.
To secure action that will lead IN
the adoption of definite and prac.
tical national policy in this direction
is the purpose of the bill now pend.

Mr.. Mackays condition, as stated on
Saturday, had improved. but the pa
tient had a bad night and yesterday
morning a consultation was held by
three physicians. Mr.. MaCkay grew
worse as the day passed. He was un-

very peacefully. The immediate cause
of death was heart failure. The right
lung was found to be Congested, and
the sypmtoms indicated pneumonia.
Mrs. Mackay, her mother, and Coun-

Mackay died. and Princess Galatro

Wire Fence Telephones.

We have telephone line six miles
long, using wire on fences. To
cross highways we. raise the wire on
poles high enough to serve the pur-
pose. lnsulators must be used, 120 TO
the mile we use, and they cost one cent
each. We have had no trouble with
brear'1g of wires by climbing fences.
but We post notices along warning
people not to do any damage. Each
farmer inspects the line on his own
farm occasionally, to see that every
thing is all right. We started with
secondhand phones that cost eight
dollars each, but now buy new ones
for $12. With new phones and fence
wire il costs about $3.50 to install a
phone in the house, and it will cost
about 30 cents yer for maintenance
We expect to have much more line
by fall.-Farm, Stock and Home.

PLEASURE SEEKERS DROWNED
Excursion Steamer On EIbe Cut In Tive
BY Tug.

by q uy.
Hamburg, July 22.-Between so and
60 lives were lost in collision on the
river Elbe early yesterday morning be-
tween the excursion steamer Primus
and the Hamburg-American line tug
Hansa. Early reports made the loss
of life over a hundred, but as the day
advanced missing passengers turned up
and reduced the list to the figures given
above.
The Primus had made an excursion
trip from Buxtehude, province of Han
over, Prussia, and had 1S5 passengers
on board. While on the Elbe, between
Blankenez and Ninstettin, the Primus
attempted to cross the river channel
and was rammed by the Hansa. The
tug tore her way clear through the
side of the steamer, almost cutting her
in two. The Primus began to settle,
and the Kansas crew set about to res
cue the painc-stricken passengers Of
the steamer many of whom jumped in
to the river rather than go down with

sengers were hauled aboard The tug by
means of ropes and boat ho IS, and iJr
a time it was thought that It's number
was all that had been save. Later it
was learned that 10 Others had been
rescued by other craft.
The terrible panic that occurred on
the Primus when the iausa struck
her rendered the efforts t. save ner
passengers almost useless. Some OF
the survivors furnish graphic descrip.
tions of the awful suddencss of the
disaster. According to their story, the
band was playing and many couples
were dancing on deck when the crash
of the collision came like a thunder.
bolt. In the midst Of the confusion
the boilers exploded, adding to the
horrors OF the scene, and many per.
sons are said to have been injured by
flying splinters Of metal.

DECLINED A JUDGESHIP
Senator McLaurin Refused Appoint.

Senator J,n l.. McLaurin, of South
Carolina, d lining the proffered ap-
pointmen. g. Ia vacancy on the bench
Of the L. / States court OF claims.
The pres lt, it can be said, much re-
grets Ser .ior McLaurin's decision, as
h believes that McLaurin's senatorial
perience and his career as attorney
general of South Carolina would have
rendered him a particularly good addi-

The president now is uncertain what
he will do about Senator McLaurin. II
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. Sen
atOr Mclaurin's letter is couched in the
most positive terms, and evidently was
based in particular upon a newspaper
article which accompanied the letter.
The article stated that the senator had
sold himself for the prospect Of gettinS
such an Office as that offered to him.
II can be- said. however, that the presi-
dent regards such type of accusation
as beneath notice, AMI sincerely re-
