with murder, and, after several weeks
spent in trying to secure a jury. they
were tried and acquitted.
When the affair had quieted down it
is alleged that the cattle associations
brought in stock detectives to hunt
down the "rustlers.' During the sum
mer Of 1895 William Powell and Will
liam Lewis. ranchmen living in the
Iron mountain country. were muir
dered. 1t was alleged that Horn COM
mitted the murders. He was brought
before the grand jury, but not in
dicted.
Powell was killed while haying in
a meadow near his house. He was
shot with a rifle ball fired at long
range. Lewis was killed in his corral
while loading some beef.
On July 10 last Horn left Coblo
ranch at Bosler and rode to the ranch
OF William Miller, who lived three
miles northeast OF the ranch OF Kels
p. Nickel, father of the murdered boy.
Horn remained at the Miller ranch un~
til the evening of July II, when he
disappeared. At 1880 on the morn
ing of the 18th Willie Nickel was
killed. Horn showed up at the Coble
ranch again on the 2lst.
Deputy United States Marshal Joe
La Fors. celebrated western detective
and terror to outlaws and train rob
hors, was engaged on the case. La
Fors told Horn he knew Of a cattle
outfit in Montana that wanted a killer,
but said that the man selected would
have to come well recommended. La
Fors made Horn believe he was his
friend. Horn came to discuss matters
with La Fors and the two met in the
outer ONCE of the United States mar
shal on Jan. -. The county officers
had previously placed Deputy Sheriff
l.. Il. Snow and Stenographer Charles
j. Ohnhaus in an adjoining room and
close enough to hear all that was
said
Killing is my speciality" says Horn.

Pass, Tex. where he was joined a
month later by his senorita. The cou-
pie were to have been married, but
upon the day set for the nuptials the
girl received word that her mother
was dead and she buried away 20 her
home to attend the funeral, promis
ing to return and marry Horn inside
of month
The scout waited one month, two
months. and a year sped by, but his
senorita never returned and grada-
ally Horn drifted to the plains Of
Wyoming Since the day when he
realized that the beautiful Mexican
would never return to him the scout
has probably pursued as deliberately
villainous a career as any criminal
that ever lived.
Because OF Horns exploits there has
been a reign of terror among the
ranching districts for more than
twelve years. During this period
many murders have heen committed
on the plains of Wyoming, northern
Colorado. western Nebraska and

A son who went west and entered
politics was at last elected to con-
gress. He was naturally greatly elat-

his good fortune, he sent the following
telegram to his father, who was an
honest old farmer back east
Have been elected to congress. Your

A few hours later John got the fol-
lowing reply from his father:
I'VE all feel sorry for you. Advise
us how we can help you.

STEAMER BROKE DOWN. {

Harugari Society Reached New Haven
 at 2 O'Clock This Morning.
 The excursion given by the Harugari Singing society yesterday to North Beach was marred by breakdown on the way home, causing the City of Lawrence to get here at 2 o'clock this morning, about five hours later than was expected. The steamer left North Beach on time, about o'clock, but af-S ter being out but a short time one of the boilers gave out and she had to put back for repairs. It took until g o'clock to get the machinery in shape for an- other start, and about 9:15 the excur- sionists were again on their way to New Haven.
 It was reported that the steamer Will Ham G. Payne, of Bridgeport, was go-g ing to start out for the exeursionists, but as the repairs were made on the City of Lawrence there was no need of her assistance.

than at other places and all in the shock is washed away. The chief crop there. however, is corn, and there is the sans ruin there as at other places.
 In the vicinity of Quincy and Hanni- bal there is much unnecessary loss on account of the peculiar condition of the flood. A smaller flood began to subside, when warnings from the Keokuk weather bureau observer were received and were unheeded, as being after the fact, when actually it was before the new and greater flood.
 Levees protecting the Missouri bot tom between Keokuk and Quincy, stood the strain of to-days flood which fail- ed to overflow them. The Egyptian levee is still several inches above the Des Moines river, which is now station-s ary here at it's mouths. Reports show 8 fall of two feet at ottumwa. Unless heavy rains shall come, the Des Moines will begin to fall here to-n.orrow. The situation is much brighter. The Mis- sissippi here shows a stage of 15.4 feet, the highest since 1897, and is still rising, but not as fast as it was this morning. The crest of the Mississippi rise will probably pass here tomorrow. Great damage has already been done, but the worst is probably over.

CHILD ABDUCTED.

Little Lottie Wakeman. Daughter of
 Charles B. Wakeman, Taken by Her

 Attorney Charles c. Spreyer is coun- sel for Mrs. Porter and he says that Mrs Porter has legal right to the child inasmuch as the superior court did not decide the matter at the time of the divorce From Wakeman. Wake man is a mechanic at Winchester's and has worked there for number of years,

MEETING OF STRIKERS.
Trades Council Hall Packed Yesterday
 Morning-Joint Conference.

Trades Council Hall Packed 1eStefoay
 Morning-Joint Conference.
 Yesterday morning there was joint meeting of the strikers in Trades Coun- cil hall in the Insurance building. The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the situation, but it is un- derstood that no action of importance regarding the strike was taken by the men. The rnoulders who have quit work at the Sargent factory were at the meeting in large numbers and listened with interest to what was taking place there.
 They assert that they have not struck, but that early last week their foreman came to them and said they might as well quit work, as the work that they completed was only piling up about them, with no helpers to take it away. When the laborers come in each morning they remove the work that has been completed by the moulders, and as the laborers are all out the work has accumulated extensively.
 The moulders take the side of the strikers and will be loyal to them throughout the strike. notwithstanding the fact that they derive no benefit whatever from the national lodge. Some of the moulders stated yesterday that. although most of them have suffered as a result of the strike, a great many of them will find employment in factories out of New Haven.

LOSSES REACH $6,OOO,O0O

 telling of many farms that were good for one hundred bushels to the acre be- fore the flood. The loss is total. Ex- perience is that if the water stays forty eight hours even four inches under the surfance it kills corn and every stalk wet by water perishes from rotten roots.
 The height of the flood is shown by an incident at La Grange. The steamboat Warehouse was we'll back from the river bank and stands high. A strong current and gale caused the pilot to make an imperfect landing and the cor- nice of the roof of the Warehouse was torn by the forward guards of the Sil- yer Crescent. The river Is rising all the time six inches during the day in the immense area of 700 square miles, and the worst is to come by the exten- sion of the flooded area by the water passing levees which it is now topping.
 The chief flood thus far is on the Mis- souri side from Keokuk to the Louis- jana, with Canton and West Quincy as centers of the country hurt worst. On lue llllllOlS SluC dIC lHLEt levees for forty miles from Warsaw to Quincy above the water which thus far are safe. but farmers are afraid of crevasses from muskrat holes and every rod of the redoubt is watched day and night.
 The breaking of these levees would flood 175 square miles in Illinois and de- stroy s2,oO0,000 to s3,0OO,OO0 worth of corn. The levees below Quincy are in the same situation, except that they are lower and less firm.
 Opposite Quincy on the Missouri is still another center of special devasta- ton, which is appalling. North twelve miles to La Grange and south to Mol- ton large prairies are well under water, reaching from the Illinois bluffs to the Missouri bluffs. at least ten miles. Levees hastily thrown around farms are disappearing in fierce current rush. ing from above through the draw of the Burlington bridge carringing every thing before it. Lone Tree prairie, ten miles square, is deserted the population having fled to Quincy and the bluffs on the Missouri side from which they watch the complete destruction. Fa- bius river, sixteen miles above Hanni- bal, is high and furnishes route for the Mississippi to flank the leveee as the Fox river does forty miles up the Mississippi. This flanking movement makes even the highest Missouri levees ineffective. Around Lamotte, Silverton, Busch station, Clemens, and Ashburn, north of Hannibal, there is more wheat

FEED THE CHILDREN.
Learn What to Give Them,

People with weak children should look to food for making the youngsters stout and hearty. Scientific selection of food is the true way to health.
 A mother speaks of her experience in feeding children. She says, About two years ago our little two year old Isa- bella was taken with stomach and bowel trouble She was so low at times that we despaired of her ever recovering.
 She could not digest the lightest kind of food. She fingered along from Aug ust to November in that condition when I decided to try Grape-Nuts in small quantities three times day I poured boiling water over them and let them stand five minutes to soften, then added sweet cream and a very little sugar.
 We'll, from that day, the 18th of Nov, 1898, until now we have never had to give her drop of medicine and she IS the picture of edith. So also is my little boy now two years old. He has lived on Grape-Nuts since he was a year old and is the stoutest little fellow you nearly ever saw
 Nearly everyone asks what feed the children for they are so big and healthy.
 Our F year old daughter began to have headaches about last Christmas and we put glasses on her. She got some better but was still poorly. Fin ally I took away most of her food and put her on Grape-Nuts. She steadily improved and is now able to go to school regularly and is quite we'll. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
