Surprise Is often expressed by very

ment instead of the executive mansion
and none OF them from the navy. treas
ury or other administrative bureaus.
This Is generally deemed a very singu-
lar fact, and from 1t writers have
plausibly drawn the conclusion that
Lincoln personally liked the secretary
of war better than any OF the other
cabinet officers. While this indeed ap-
pears to have been true, 1t does not nee
essarily so follow. He certainly held
Mr.. Seward In high regard. yet he sci,
dom went to the state department.
In the circumstances 1t was not at all
singular. The explanation is easy. War
was the business of that time. and Lin
coins eyes were always bent TO the
army. especially when great military
events were impending. He habitually

were strenuously concentrated on the
fight, wherever it might be. His fertile
brain saw, too, the critical points In the
game oftentimes far more clearly than
some of his so called "ablest generals"
He not only wished to know what was
going on in the field, but performed his
own part nobly. In the heat OF action
or at crucial moments his orders. sug-
gestions and inquiries were fired off
spontaneously from wherever he might
be at the moment. and at such periods
he was generally lover at the war de
partment" with Mr.. Stanton. That is
the chief reason why so many Of his
dispatches are dated at that depart
ment and not because he perhaps held
Stanton In higher esteem than the sec
retary Of the navy or state or treasury.

Chicago, Ill, July lo-Freight
rates on butter, eggs, cheese and poult-
ry were advanced to normal basis to-
day by western railroads. The ad-
vance ranges from 20 to 30 cents per
100 pounds from St Paul and Mis-
souri, river points to Chicago, with
comparative increases from intermed-
late points. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that | 900, 600 pounds of but
ter, cheese, eggs and poultry are re-
ceived i'll Chicago daily and about 10
per cent of the traffic goes east. The
advance in rates averages about 81 per
ton, making a daily increase in the
revenues of the railroads from this
traffic of 81, 600 a day. or about three
quarters of "a million per annum.

WORST FLOOD
IN MANY YEARS
Des Moines River Highest
Since Fifty One.
Large Portion of City Protected
Only by Low Levees Water
Works Must be Shut Down
Farms are Flooded.

Des Moines, Ia. July l0-The flood
situation at 10 O'Clock this morning
had reached the most alaEming stage
in the history of the city. The Des
Moines river is twenty one feet above
low water mark, having risen seven
feet in less than an hour.
The food is at the highest point il
has been since 1851, when the river was
six feet deep over what is now occu-
pied by thousands of residences and
business blocks. Nothing but dykes
now protect that portion OF the city,
and should there be break the results
would be appalling.
The situation is intensified by the
necessity of shutting down the water
works if the water raises another six
inches. This would stop the supply
of water for domestic purposes.
