STORM OF WIND AND RAIN DOES
IMMENSE DAMAGE IN POR.
TICNS OF ILLINOIS.
LOSS is FULLY $1,000, 600
While Farmers Are the Heaviest Suf.
ferers, Railroads and Other Con.
Germs Also Sustain Severe Losses.
Rivers Reach the Highest Stage in
aroe Area Are Inundated
Large Area Are Inundated.


St. Louis, July IA low estimate
placed on the damage wrought within
a radius of $50 miles OF Alton, ILL.,, by
the storm of wind and rain that pre-
vailed Saturday night and Sunday is
81, 100000. While the farmers are the
heaviest losers the railroads also suf-
fered severely. In the American Bot
tom farming district the farmers are
ruined.
Wood river, a small and usually
HARMLESS stream, overlooked its banks
early Sunday morning and the resi-.
lands were forced to get into the up
per stories of their houses to save
their lives. Their houses were flooded.
After spending night full of peril
they watched the daylight come in
only to see that their crops had been
washed away.
Reuter- Bros, extensive farmers near
the banks of the Wood river near Al
ton, suffered a loss of $4,000 and when
the waters subside they may learn that
their loss is twice this amount. This
is only one instance. Railroad traffic
through the bottom lands is completely
shut off and the washouts are such
that they cannot be easily or rapidly
repaired.
Among other concerns that suffered
is the big plant of the Western Car
fridge company at East Alton. This
was flooded and President F. w. Olin
states that his loss will be not less
than $4,000 and may be more.
Reports received from the Plaza
creeks say that farmers in their anx.
iety to get their stock out of the val
leys into the hills, saved none of their
shocked wheat and all the crops there
are lost. G

EXCITEMENT IN CORN.
John w. Gates and Associates Have
Manipulated a Corner.
PRICES WERE JUMPING.

Chicago, June 17.-Excitement ruled
in the corn pit on the board of trade
today. The fear of a corner in July op-
ton when caused sharp upturn yes
terday. was augmented at the opening
of business by the reluctance of big
holders in July to sell. In consequence
the shorts, who feared a runaway mar
ket, bought everything in sight and bid
eXcitedly for more in order to stop
their losses. The prices fuctuated
widely and wildly. The manipulated op-
tion opened very steady at 643s to GA
cents, but at once began making jumps
of cent or more. receding as much and
then advancing still farther. The sup
posed corner that is at present the
only factor In corn, is said by old trad
ers TO be an assured fact The bull
clique is said to be led by John W.
Gates and his Wall street associates,
and has been buying everything of
cred. All told at present there are
less than 100000 bushels of contract
grade corn with which the shorts can
cover. and the Gates crowd is credited
with having bought these same shorts
over 15.000,000 bushels. 1t is thought
the elimination of the corner will be
brought about within a week July
closed strong. 31s cents higher than
yesterdays close and the highest point
of the day was 67la cents.

LOST THE SCENT.
BIoodhounds Were Unable to Follow
the Trail of Atchison.
SHOT FROM BEHIND.

So far as known there is no trace of
w. w. Atchison, who killed James
O'Meara and Will Thayer at San Pedro.
The bloodhounds from Santa re for a
time eagerly followed the trail but
they lost the scent. His chances of es-
cape into Mexico are considered good
Atchison had a fight with S. Golding
and O'Meara interfered and took his
revolver from him. thus probably saw
ing GoldinG's life. O'Meara kept the
gun and told Atchison that he would
deliver it to him at the companys
office. The place where the shooting
took place shows that Atchison had
placed himself behind a bush and
from there shot both men after they
had passed him, as both shots in the
men shows that they were shot from
behind. lAtchison after committing the
decd, went home and told his wife
what he had done and left for parts
unknown. He is an old resident of the
county last year having a store at Do
lores, and lately had built some houses
close to the San Pedro smelter for the
purpose of starting a saloon and board
ing house.

ROUTINE BUSINESS.
Pitt Ross Was Again Appointed City
Engineer.
PETITIONS PRESENTED.

The city council transacted routine
business last night with barely a
quorum present. V. V. Clark resigned
as city engineer and Pitt Ross was
nominated and confirmed.
Two petitions were presented. One
was from property owners on North
Broadway, who do not approve of a
dance hall on that street. They asked
the council to put it out of business
and the petition was referred to the
police committee. Sidewalks were
asked on the north side of Washington
avenue from the Santa Fe tracks to st.
Josephs hospital.
During May there were 104 arrests,
3l9 meals served and fines were col
,ected amounting to $440. License col
lections by the city clerk amounted to
$915.
The city attorney was instructed to
take such steps as are necessary to get
possession of the property on North
Fourth street held by Badaracco. A
BOARD of arbitrators fixed the value at
$50, but Badaracco refused to accept it.
Alderman Mcmillan rose TO protest
against the condition of the sidewalks
across the Santa Fe tracks on Railroad
avenue and this brought out the infor-
and the walk will be improved.
An ordinance was passed making il
a misdemeanor for any dealer in the
city to carry gasoline in stock in a
greater amount than fifteen gallons.

NEW CONSTITUTION.
New instrument for Connecticut Sub
nitted to the Electors.

Hartford, Conn, June 17.-The fate
of the new Connecticut constitution,
which was submitted to the electors
yesterday for ratification or rejection,
is uncertain and will not be known
positively until the full returns of the
election have been received. The
chief provision of the proposed con-
stitution relates to representation in
the legislature. Its adoption would
leave about the same number of legis-
lators as heretofore. but they would
be redis,ricted so as to give the large
cities more representatives at the ex-
pense OF the towns and rural districts.
The contest is almost devoid of par
tisan politics, and in most towns of
over 1000 population whose represen-
tation in the legislature would not be
changed by the adoption of the new
instrument, little or no interest is man.
ifested by either party. The contest
has practically sifted down to a fight
between the cities whose representa-
ton would be increased. but not pro.
portionately, and the little towns
where sentiment may be divided pc,
tween wish to retain present repre-
sentation and desire to endorse ..e
work of their delegates in the con.
vention.

GREAT CROWDS PRESENT.
Part of the Fort Hall Reservation was
Thrown Open.

Blackfoot, Idaho, June 1.-THE
boundary line of the ceded portion of
Fort Hall reservation which was open
ed to settlers today, was lined for miles
this morning with people awaiting the
hour of noon. The town of Pocatello,
with perhaps 1000 population, will be
practically deserted this afternoon,
owing to a ruling of the secretary of
the interior that prospecting for min
eral will be permitted on and after
noon today. within five-mile limit of
that city. A special train over the
Oregon Short Line railway from Nc
Cannon, in the southern portion of
the ceded lands, to Blackfoot, run for
the benefit of those who have taken
up lands and wish to enter them at the
land office at Blackfoot, will not arrive
here before o'clock this afternoon
The nearest point to the ceded portion
is seventeen miles from Blackfoot, and
not more than hundred or two are eX-
pected to arrive ahead of the special
train, though many will try to do so
with relays of horses. The race will
be lively and exciting and possibly
may be attended by bloodshed, as num-
bers of desperate and determined men
are racing for the same land.

THE HIRED MAN.
He Runs Away With the Heiress of La
Junta Ranch.

TIC Nhho AWAY F'ihH Ni'N a'N' W -
Junta Ranch.
A special dispatch to the Denver
News, from La Junta, dated June IS.
says:
Last evening Miss Amy Russell, the
IS year old daughter of Mrs. II. T.
Russell. who resides about four miles
north of this city, eloped with A. l..
Kearby. who has been in the employ OF
Mrs. Russell for a number of years.
The officers have telephoned and tele
graphed in every direction and have
been unable to get any clue of them.
The Russell family is one of the oldest
of this city and are quite well to do.
Mrs. Russell is a widow, her husband
having been a leading druggist of this
city for a number of years. At his
death, which occurred about three
years ago, he left her a comfortable
fortune. With her family she has re-
sided on her ranch north of town.
Kearby is a brother in law Of Rev. ~.
H. Haupt, the Episcopal rector of ,Ae
local parish, and is quiet, industrious
young man.
Mrs. Russell upon learning the rela-
tlons between the young people dis
charged Kearby about one week ago
and thought all was going well until
last night. when she found that her
daughter had gone. 1t is supposed
that they have evaded all telegraph
and telephone stations and are headed
for New Mexico, where they will be
married at once. Mrs Russell is near
| ly frantic over the affair and her many
| friends are lending her such assistance
as they can.

ROAD VALUATIONS.
Arizona Board Of Equalization Com
pIetes its Work.
ASSESSMENTS LITTLE HIGHER,

The Arizona territorial hoard of
equalization has concluded the assess
ment of the railroads of Arizona FOR
the year 1902. The assessments are a
very little higher than they were a
year ago and in almost every instance
the valuation of the track and fran
chise was increased above the returns
In all cases where this was done the
board did not believe that such differ
ence really existed, but the raises were
made TO cover a want of a proper re-
turn on all other classes of railroad
property than the track. Ii was more
convenient to secure a proper yalua-
tion in this way than to wade through
the different items of Improvements
and personal property.
