THE FLOODS IN IOwA.-The State OF
Iowa is suffering from unprecedented
floods. At Des Moines, miles Of water
meet the eye in all directions. A
break in the levee forced hundreds oil
residents to abandon their homes, and
much property was destroyed despite
tho mighty efforts to save. Four feet
of water is rushing through district
of score of blocks occupied as resi-.
dences. The flood is only equaled by
that Of 1851, when the water was siz
feet deep over tract now occupied by
residences, business houses and fac
tories. The Racoon river rose three
feet in as many hours, yesterday morn
ing, driving 400 people from theiI
homes. Similar conditions prevail
throughout the central sections of the
state.

TracY's Will Still ia Law.

Alter a week OF brOadsides OF the
daily press, giving what is claimed to
be minute details of the doings Of
the convict Tracy, the latest re-
ports end with the statement that
| the hunters are at their wit's
ends, without the slightest clue as to
his exact hiding place. He has been
seen, from reports the past week, al.
most everywhere on land and sea.
These accounts are not entirely
gioundless, for any man seen with q
gun, or who acts strangely, is now a
verltable Tracy in the excited imagi-
nation OF those who see them, and to
cap the climax. Merrill has come to
life again and is appearing at widely
separated points simultaneously, a
characteristic not hitherto freely ac-
corded to even the most ubiquitous Of
"spooks." While he is smaller lu-
minary than the man performing the
stellar part, he is quite enough of a
desperate to excite terror to those
who live in positions where bold hold
ups have been proven to be so practi-
cable.
To show how easily q pure canard
can be started, a man with . rife
appeared at the home of C. ID. Hill
man, back of Seattle. Wednesday
night, and asked to use the telephone.
At once the posse was summoned to
find that the man was just what he
professed to be, a suburbanite in
search OF COW! AS if Tracy-though
it must be acknowledged his wants
are varied and somewhat out of the
common run Of necessities-should
need telephone to make his presence
known, although he has shown him.
self to be immune to the sentiment
which surrounds him.
Another instance of the audacity OF
the man, which may be true, is that
he turned up at the house of farmer
named johnson, living five miles from
Kent. He took charge of the farmer
and his family consisting of wife and
six daughters. Tracy gave Johnson
money Che seems also to possess q
never-failing purse along with his other
remarkable gifts) and sent him to Ia.
coma to buy revolver about the size
Of cannon and ammunition, accom-
panying the order with threat to kill
?he whole family, if he did not return
with the gun and without giving an
alarm. The plan worked, as usual.
The next morning yesterday Tracy
went forth from the johnson abode,
stole horse from man named An,
derson and held up farmer named
Mccullough for money.
johnson was so badly frightened
that he did not give the information
till the next morning. when Sheriff
Cudahee Immediately dispatched men
to follow up what was left of the
"clue." After securing the money
from Mccullough. the desperate
struck off through the woods towards
Palmer.

Cold Reception for Tax Reform.

Cold Reception for Tax Reform.
The other night considerable sport
Was made in the Chamber Of Com

ton oi the local august body in Sc
curing stoppage of some OF the leaks
for the peoples money in the civil SER
vice throughout the state. The meet
ing was largely composed (what there
WAS OF it, of office holders and the
legal profession.
A motion was made by one OF the
former gentry to refer the letter to the
local Taxpayers League, but President
Wier ruled that the motion was out of
order, as the Chamber had no official
connection with the League. An APP
peal was taken and the chair sus-
tanned. Then many motions were
made, some to down the troublesome
proposition and others to show the wit
OF their movers, and, for probably a
quarter OF an hour, the proposition
was kicked from pillar to post like a
football, amidst the jeers and sneers OF
the players.
Another Office holder wanted the
matter referred to a committee con.
sisting OF three lawyers and two tax
payers, an unintentional concession
that tax-eaters are a somewhat distinct
class from the taxpayers.
1t was quite evident that the propo-
sition to reduce court expenses finds
little, if any, favor, with the bar, who
can use the peoples money to lombard
opposing litigants, and the idea of a
reduction OF pie or pudding to the
average Office holder is a proposition
so repugnant to his feelings his nose
goes into the air at the bare suggestion.
A motion to lay on the table was
lost; a proposition TO refer to the Ju.

of reference; to send it to the Execu.

A New National Song.

"Flag of the Free" is the title of
a new national song which made its
appearance in some of the Eastern
papers on the 4th of July, with the
musical score, taken from the beauti-
ful strains of the Wedding March in
Lohcngrin. The words are as follows ::
Flag of the Free fairest to see.
Borne thro' the strife and the thunders
of war;
Banner 80 bright with starry light.
Float ever proudly from. mountain to
Sages of Old thy coming foresaw,
Empire Of Justice, empire of law;

Golden thy stars in the blue of the sky !
