SAVAGE DEMANDS RETRAcTloN.
Believes Governor Mickey Has lmpli.
Gated Him in Bribery Charges.

CateQ MIN IN 6rioeFy Chaf9eS.
Lincoln, Neb., May 29.-There was an
exciting conference Thursday in Gov
ernor Mickey's private Office at the cap
itol, between the governor and former
Governor Ezra T. Savage. The meet
ing was the result of public state
ment which credited Governor Mickey
with charging that indirectly he had
been offered bribes to influence ap-
tpointments and that money had been
used for the same purpose during a
previous administration.
Mr.. Savage labored under the impress
sion that Governor Mickey had i'm
plicated him in bribery charges and
yesterday demanded an explanation.
At the conclusion Of their interview
Governor Mickey said that he had not
meant to implicate Mr.. Savage and de-
MED that his interview would give that
impression. Mr.. Savage, however, was
not satisfied am later he made the fol-
lowing stateme
Governor Mickey must retract his
statements about bribery in my admin
istration, or will make him do it. ]
do not prnpose.to tell how, but wait and
see. He says that he did not mean
me, but that is not enough. He must
retract."

BRYAN AND LEADERSHIP.
Says Need Of Silver Standard Is a. Evi.
dent Now as Ever.

0SUS NOW do CVoTs
Lincoln, Neb., May 2e.-In an ex-
tended article in his Commoner Mr..
Bryan renounces all claim or desire to
leadership Of the democratic party. AT
the same time he says the need OF a
silver standard Is as evident now as 1t
ever was. On the question of party
leadership he says:
The editor OF the Cog1imoner is not
seeking leadership Neither is he con-
cerned about his political position in
future years. The advocates of the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms have
shown their willingness to suffer for
their conditions. Why should they pre-
tend confession of error when they
believe that they are right? Why pre-
tend that the issue is past when 1t is
still upon us and must remain? Why
ignore, for the sake Of a few Offices, a
fierce conflict between money and man
hood? Why delude ourselves with the
belief that a real or even a nominal
victory can be won by sacrifice Of
the peoples interest to the cold, cruel
and merciless dictation Of monopolists
and magnates. in whom love of money
has extinguished the feeling Of broth
erhood?"

Des Moines. May 2s.-From all over
the state come reports to the effect
that rivers are receding and that fur
ther danger from the flood is passed.
In the Des Moines valley from Spirit
Lake to the Missouri river the entire bot
toms are covered with water and the
damage to corn crop is inestimable. In
Fort Dodge, Boone, Madrid. Des Moines,
Ottumwa and other points. fully five
hundred homes have been Inundated by
waters In Des Moines alone the dam
age will reach half a million.
Specials from Van Meter and other
points on Raccoon river above here are
to the effect that the river has continued
ito steadily rise and is yet going up
and while the Des Moines Is receding
above the confluence with the Raccoon
it is rising below. South and southeast
Des Moines is threatened with further
devastation as a result OF the breaks
in the levees, hundreds Of homes are
surrounded with water and break

ward of two hundred fine residences.
Contrary to earlier reports a telegram
at eleven today from Boone, states the

But down at the abutments Of the

rowly calculated It's course, and falling
in behind 1t managed to catch up with

of the oars. to make landing down
the river somewhere. They passed the
Ninth street bridge and were swept
with the wreck on down the river,
which was here nearly a half a mile
wide, still clinging to the raft and US
ing every exertion to push 1t inland.
In this they were partially successful,
eventually. They saved perhaps, half
Of the lumber.

FLOOD AT CEDAR RAPIDS. /
Indications That Cedar River Will
Reach Hjuhest Point.

N00SIl g0s8UOSS rVtUSs
Cedar Rapids. May 29.-At 10 o'clock
last night Chief Train Dispatcher
Pauley Of the Rock Island said that
in his opinion the flood this year In this
city would undoubtedly be higher than
it was last year. The flood was at it's
highest at Waterloo at noon yesterday
and as 1t takes about forty eight hours
for the flood to reach this cityhe looked
for the maximum Of water about noon
on Saturday. He believed it would be
well for business men and property
owners to take immediate steps for the
protection OF their propsrty. Arrange
ments have been made by the general
Office OF the Rock Island here for con-
slant reports from points up the line
and it is expected that the Office here
will be able to supply all needed infor-
nation on the coming of the food. Last
years flood was bad enough as every
one knows. II this years flood is to be
higher there will be great damage un-
less the utmost precautions are TAX
en-.
Reports coming from the Rock Island
offices In this city yesterday indicated
that there was big flood coming down
the Cedar, SURPRISING in volume even
the high water of last year. Reports
from the Rock Island offices last even
ing Indicated that the height of the
food had passed and the river began
falling at Waterloo at 2 o'clock. A tel
ephone message to Waterloo last night
elected the information that no danger
was apprehended from the river and
that the new bridge there was standing
the water all right.
At Vinton last night the river was
rising slowly but no danger was ex-
pected there. The river here raised
about foot during yesterday and the
reports from the north Of the tremen-
dous flood awakened great alarm.
The alarm was heightened by the
Rock Island people notifying firms
along the river front in this city to be
ready to move out in short order as the
river might rise rapidly. Extra precau-
tons were taken at the packing house
last night to protect the stock IL the
sudden rise should come. but there was
general feeling produced by the re-
ports that the food, IL flood there be,
will not be as bad as last year.
The rains in the northern part of the
state and also in the central part, north
of Cedar Rapids, have been heavy and
long continued and the smaller streams
