High Water In Southwestern Iowa
Causes Serious Conditions.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, May 30.-High
waters continue as the rule through
out the southwestern part Of Iowa. At
Pacific Junction and Hamburg things
arc In an especially serious condition.
AT Pacific Junction the town is sur
rounded by water and the citizens of
the town are making their way about
in boats. Southwest of town, on the
Missouri river bottoms, thousands of
acres of valuable farm lands are under
water and the loss to crops will
amount to millions of dollars. At
Hamburg the two lines Of the Burling-
ton railway are under water and hun
dreds Of square miles of valuable farm
lands in both Iowa and Missouri arc
under water. Crops in that section Of
the country for this year are entirely
ruined and thousands of families will

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Supreme Court Disposes Of a Consti-
tutionaI Question.

washington, June By a vote Of
five to four the supreme court yester-
day decided another important ques-
tiCn involving the application of the
Federal Constitution to our e pos
sessions. The case gave the oppOr-
tunity for the expression of some adj
ditional opinions by members of the
court as to whether the Constitution
followed the flag. 1t involved the le-
gality of the conviction Of an alleged
murderer in Hawaii, who had not been
indicted by a grand jury, and had been
convicted by a majority instead of oil
the trial jury, after the insular pos
sessions had been annexed to the
United States, but before it was for
mally taken in as a territory. The
Constitution of the United States pro-
vides that there shall be Indictment by
a grand jury and that the trial jury's
verdict shall be unanimous; the law Of
Hawaii required no grand jury indlct-
ment and permitted a majority OF the
trial jury to convict. Congress in 1898
agreed to the annexation of the Ha-
waiian island by joint resolution
which provided that laws not contrary
to the Constitution of the United
States were to remain in force until
congress otherwise determined. The
question presented to the supreme
court was whether the alleged MUIR
derer's conviction by a majority Of a
jury while Hawaiian laws still applied
was contrary to the American COnSti-
tutional provision that the jury's YER
dict must be unanimous. The court de-
cided that under the circumstances
the conviction by a majority Of the
jury was legal. The case was the
most important decided by the SUI
preme court since the decisions in the
Porto Rico and Philippine cases.

MASKED MEN BLOW UP DAM.
Destroy Chenswatana Property Near

Pine City, Mimi. June 3. The
Chengwatana dam was blown out at
100 o'clock yesterday morning by a
party of disguised men, who, after
overpowering the two ~watchmen, ex-
ploded five charges of dynamite, de-
stroyed two of the main gates, greater
damage being averted by the failure
Of several charges to explode. The
watchmen were used rather roughly
after they surrendered, and their lives
were threatened should they reveal
the identity of any of the dynamiters.
Feeling against the dam has run high
amongst farmers for months past, and
several anti-dam meetings have been
held of late, where the abolition Of the
dam had been stTenuOusly advocated.

payments to a few clerks of more thar
the law allows and the existence OF
designations unknown to the law of

Earded this net result of the overhaul
