Special to The State.
Charleston. July IS. Senator
TiIlman has put Mr. George Won
kolnitz, candidate for the State
Senate, under the ban, and he de-
clares that If Mr.. Vonkolnltz is
elected he will never do another
thing for Charleston. Senator
Tillman's declaration on the sub.
Ject is most emphatic, having
been given in writing as we'll as
by letter, and ne declares that he
means every word that he has
said.
The situation becomes doubly
interesting for the reason that
MIR. Vonkolnitz is thus far with
out opposition in his canvass. Mr..
Joseph w. Barnwell detern. ined
some time ago not TO stand for
reelection to the senate, leaving
the field undlsputed to MIR. Won
kolnitz. No other names have
been mentioned as likely to make
the race, and it remains to be seen
what will be the outcome now that
Senator Tillman has put the onl y
candidate out for the office under
the ban.
Senator Tillman's opposition to
Vonkolnitz is based on Vonkoln-
it's support of-thev Republican
party platform and candidates in
thecampaign of 1896 Vonkolnitz
made number of speeches in op,
position to the Democratic tick ct
in New York and other doubtful
States. He spoke as u "sound
money Democrat" opposed to the
Chicago platform, prefering the
Triumph of the Republican ticket
to that put out 10y the Democratic
convention.
tits known that recently certain
interests opposed to Mr.. Vonkol-
nitz endeavored to have the State
executive committee rule him out
of the primary on account of his
former political affiliations The
appeal was made to Chairman
Jones, but not m' eting with sue
cess it is presumed tha: the matter
was carried to Senator Tillman,
and the dictum has been rendered
accordingly.
The action of the senator in in
terfering with the election here is,
of course resented by many peo-
pie.

ke6knk, Ia, July 10. The
food con iitipns of yesterday are
much worse today ami the Miss
issippi river is from two to ten
miles wide for rs miles below
Keokuk and is rising rapidly.
The flood is reaching fur outlying
farms, hitherto>missed, and farm
ers 10 the lowlands of Missouri
side have lost everything.
Damage is also occurring on
the Illinois side, between here and
Quincy, where there are many
thousand acres of riverside levees
and where the levees themselves
are not entirely efficient, the water
is working through at the site of
the foodgates. The greatest
damage is on tho Missouri side of
the Mississippi river, between
Keokuk and Hannibal, territo,y Y
covering 800 square miles, and
on which the corn was estimated
at 80 bushel Is to the acre few
days ago. Hundreds of farmers
are tenants, who lost crops by
last years drought in the up
lands and moved to the lowlands
this year. They are now penni-
less and hunting work in TWINS
and cities. Reports today are
that IN the territory indicated the
loss wall be over $4,000, 600,
chiefly to corn land and in splen-
did condition previously.
The damage done along the
Mississippi river is greater than
was expected or at first reported.
One township in this county,
Green Bay, is six or seven feet
under water. 1t contains moro
than 1000 acres of crops.
Families there were driven out
hurriedly and some cattle were
drowned. Corn was the finest
in this section of the country last
week. The levee eight miles
north of Burlington broke, inun.
dating three square miles that had
been considered safe.
THE DAMAGE Is ESTIMATED AT &c.
900, 900.

Press went over the worst dam
aged area today in the steamer
Silver Crescent and found every
whore the water deep enough to
float u steamboat. People at the
river cities give accounts of losses
aggregating many millions of
dollars. Hundreds of farmers,
rich ten days ago, are penniless
and homeless.
Careful estimates gathered from
the statements of best informed
people indicate the loss up to today
is about IS, 900, 900 with every
prospect of two or three millions
additional by the rise above not
yet reaching the lower stretches
of the river.
Most of the loss Is on the
Missouri side of the river, between
