CITY Is NOT Liable.

Chicago. July S.-Litigation to the
probable aggregate total of $4. 900, 600
has been discouraged by a ruling OF
Judge Holdom in the Supreme Court
to the effect that the city of Chicago
was not liable in any degree for the
Iroquois Theatre fire. A suit by Eva
Catherine Gibson for SIS, 900 damages
because of broken arm and an in
jured spine was the case. Sixty
other suits are pending, and had the
decision been against the city hun
dreds of other actions probably would
have been filed. The opinion was on
the city's demurrer to the averment
that the theatre was public nui-
sance, and that the municipality was
liable because of the dereliction of its
officers in issuing a license before the
theatre had complied with the or
dinances. But even had the play
house been nuisance in the legal
meaning of that word the city still
could not have been liable.

KANSAS FLOOD.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 9.-All of
the west bottoms on the Missouri side.
including the Union depot and the
great wholesale district of Kansas City
are covered with water. A break in
the Kaw river near Armourdale, Kan,
on Thursday night sent current Of
water into the bottoms, flooding the
outer railroad yards and cellars in the
wholesale houses. 1t is not believed
that the tremendous losses of last year
will be duplicated, as the water is not
expected to recach SO high stage.
Merchants, too. had taken warning
from their experiences CT year ago
and removed their goods to higher
ground or to upper stories.
The large steel bridges of the Union
Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads,
across the Kaw from Armourdale,
formed dam against which great
quantity of lumber and wreckage col
lected. The water, DETECTED by these
barriers, forced its way into the west
bottoms through the railroads. Yes
terday. all business was suspended at
the stockyards, where the water had
covered the pens to the depth Of five
feet. At the packing plants at Ar
mourdale the water stood two feet
deep in the offices of Swift's packing
house, and like conditions prevail a,
all other plants. Practically no trains

his fight for reaffirmation of the Kan

In the trust ana tariff planks, al
though these, as prepared by the SUP

Bryan won notable victory by secur-

plank, the Bryan proposition for pros

twenty three to twenty. In the labor

A BOLT EXPECTED.

indianapolis, July 8. -Nobody has
as yet been able to find out just why
the Prohibitionists want Tomlinson
Hall for the three days of July 20 to
90. Charles Newlin, State chairman
of the Prohibition party, who has
conditionally rented the hall for those
dates, is decidedly mysterious in re-
gard to the matter. He says he may
have some interesting information to
give out by Saturday of this week.
Wait until the Democratic conven-
tion has completed its work. y said
Mr.. Newlin. Let that convention
adopt resolutions declaring against
class legislation and by this l mean
legislation distinctly favoring the
poor man as we'll as the giant trusts
and monopolies-and against the le'
galizing of the liquor traffic. Then
let them nominate Gen. Miles or @
man like him in his views. Then lei
DR.. Swallow finally decline the nom
ination for the Presidency, and see
what we will do. "
Pressed for a direct statement as tt
whether it was the programme tt
fuse with the Democrats under certain
conditions, Mr.. Newlin was non
committal. Just wait" was all ht
would say. Meanwhile it is the be
lief of most OF the leading Prohibi
tionists of this city that DR.. Swallow
will not accept the nomination. Mr.
Newlin admitted that he had writer
to Bryan several times and had re
ceived letters from him. Appear
ances indicate that the Prohibition
lists are figuring on a split at st
Louis, the resignation of Swallow
and a possible alliance with tn
Bryan element of the Democrsti
party. Bryan and Newhn are goo
friends.

TRAGIC INSOMNIA.
Murderous Rage Caused by Lack
of Sleep Proves Fatal to
Two People.

A fearful tragedy recently occurred
z Philadelphia where a prominent
chemist shot both his wife and him
self after desperate struggle. His
physicians are reported as saying that
the terrible affair was due to mental
arrangement caused by sleeplessness.
Many suffer from this cause without
knowing how to obtain relief while
their condition daily grows more des-
perate. All such will read with inter-
est how Mr.. Thomas Hessian, of South
Hampton, n. H., finally succeeded in
Kidding himself of an attack of insom-
MIA which baffled the skill of his ply
stefan.
Mr.. Hessian is farmer and is in
the habit of retiring very early. 1t

to make considerable figure I'm the

But Pennsylvania was unable to
select Senator without illustrating
her own peculiar methods II would
have been more seemly had it APP
peared that the selection was the Gov
ernors own. But the world is frank

their heads together and selected the
man TO be appointed. and the Cover
nor instead of appreclating the insult
takes it as a matter Of course, saying:
1T is an excellent selection I shall
appoint Mr. Knox tomorrow"
Probably the Governor never for a
moment anticipated that he would be
consulted but he had a glorious op-
portunity to read new declaration Of
independence. lie was subservient to
Quay who had made him. but he did
not owe his elevation to the four men
who sat together and picked out a
Senator to be named by him.
Let us hope that Mr. Knox win es-
tablish higher standards for "a Senator
from Pennsylvania He has the abil-
ity and apparently the courage neces-
sary lie was not selected by the peo-
pie. but he can do them service by
Illustrating many qualities which in
his predecessor were absent.
