FARMERS RUINED.
Storm Damage Around Alton

st. Louis. June 8O.-A low estimate
placed on the damage wrought within a
radius of $50 miles of Alton, Ill. by the
storm of wind and rain Saturday night
and Sunday. Is 100000. While the farm
ers are the heaviest losers, the railroads
also suffered severely. In the American

of peril they watched the daylight come,
only to see that their crops had been
washed away. The Reuter- farm, near the
banks of the Wood river three miles from

may be twice this amount. This is only

STEBBINS ENJOINED.
He Mustn't Bring Any More Suits
Against Western Union.

Judge Hazen this morning allowed
the temporary injunction asked for by
the Western Union Telegraph company
against L. H. Stebbins and W. H Steb-
bins to prevent them from prosecuting
the company under the antitrust law
of the state.
WI. Stebbins claimed that he rented
an Office in Kansas City, Kansas and
started in the hay business and that he
offered the telegraph company several
kilograms at the rate of 10 cents fixed
by law and that the company failed to
accept and deliver the n essages. He
asked for the 800 penalty in each case
l. H Stebbins prosecuted the cases. In
delivering his opinion Judge Hazen said,
The temporary injunction against
Stebbins will be allowed 1t seems to
me that the court should stop this liti-
cation before justices Of the peace
against the telegraph company pending
the decision of the case before the court
in Wyandotte county. This seems to
me to be simply a shift and scheme to
send the kilograms to people whether
they sold hay or were blacksmiths. One
telegram was sent to an agent of the
Western Union company. It seems that
W. H. Stebbins had a stamp to use to
save writing the kilograms. This seems
to be d scheme only to get into htiga-
ton and not into business If he had
been anxious to buy hay he might
have tried the Postal Telegraph COM
pany or he n light have written letters"
Perhaps he was like Chef Thomas
and would rather walk 20 miles than
write a letter. commented Otis Hun

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Coinage Question to Be Left Out
of Philippine Bill.

Washington, June 30.-The conferees
of the two houses Of congress on the
Philippine civil government bill have
practically reached an agreement. They
probably Will present their report to the
senate during the afternoon.
The understanding provides for the
elimination of the coinage question from
the bill, thus postponing that question
TO another session for Independent ac-
ton. The senate conferees held out for
their silver standard provision and the
house men We're just as firm in their
contention for a gold standard.
The house provision for a territorial
