nation of Domestic Troubles.

Richland Center, Wis, April 26.-
Henry Morrison, a carpenter, GO years
Of age, this afternoon shot and killed
his wife and daughter, Mrs. Deb
Clark, at their home in Woodstock,
fifteen miles north of this city and
tried unsuccessfully to kill Mrs. Ma
thias Klingaman, a neighbor and in
innate friend of the woman.
After domestic troubles extending
over considerable period of time,
said to involve dispute over some
property interests, Morrison left his
family about a fortnight ago and came
here to reside. This morning he
drove back to his home and without
warning shot his wife, who fell dead
where she stood.
His daughter fed from the house,
carrying her two year old child. Nor
rison rushed after her and catching
her by the hair, threw her to the
ground. Bending over Mrs. Clark's
PROSTATE form he held mis- revolver
close to her temple and drove a bull
let into her brain. When her lifeless
body was picked up by neighbors the

bia left on deposit with the company
when the new contract of the Panama
company was signed. Both these
share and the $4,000, 900 paid by the
United States of America, are claimed
by the new republic of Panama.
The British and continental bond
holders had hoped that Colombia
would use the money which she was to
receive from the United States Of AM
erica to pay OF part of the foreign in
debtedness. but now that Panama has
been separated from Colombia and the
money is to be paid to the new repub-
lie, the hopes of the bondholders are
shattered. II is hoped that the Un-
tied States of America will perhaps
eventually use It's good offices with the
republic of Panama to induce 1t to as
sumo an equitable share of the bonded
obligation Of the United States OF
Colombia. The point of view Of the
holders Of the Colombian bonds Is
that England. which by cancelling the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty, enabled the Un-
tied States to carry out It's canal pol
Icy, win likewise do all in its power TO
protect the rights of its citizens who
are Colombian bpndholders.

TWO FEET ABOVE DANGER
LINE AT ST. LOUIS
IT MAY REACH 81 FEET
Large Territory is Now
Under Water.

st. Louis, April 26.--The Mississip-
pi river at a. m. Tuesday stood al
80 feet. two feet above the danger
line. at st. Louis It Is still rising,
though not as rapidly as during the
preceding twenty-four hours, during
which time 1t has risen four feet.
Conservative predictions estimate that
the crest of the food will reach St.
Louis Wednesday night and that the
rise will reach "a feet.
At East st. Louis the danger is not
imminent. The city and the railroads
can stand So feet without serious dam
age.
Tuesday afternoon the dam of the
+. c. p. & st, l.. r. r. two miles west
of Mitchell, H., twelve miles north of
East st. Louis. broke and the low
lands of the American bottoms west of
the Chicago & Alton railroad tracks
are fast being inundated.
The backwater of Caholda creek,
whicn flows into the Mississippi, three
miles below East st. Louis. is caus-
ing the most trouble on the east side.
1t has been flowing up stream for two
days now and has flooded all lowlands
east of East st. Louis.
At Venice, Madison and Granite
City, ILL.,. there is as yet no immediate
danger, for it is fidmly believed that
the Madison levee, which protects
these three towns, can safely stand 35
feet.
South of East st. Louis, where the
land lies still lower, the damage is
greatest 80 far. The village of Ca
hokia is under water.
At East Carondelet the water will
pour over the tracks Of the Mobile &
Ohio railroad by morning.

fourteen feet. Reports from points
up stream indicate a similar rise and
from points below here SO far down as
Keokuk, where the Des Moines emp
ties into the Mississippi, it is stated
that the rise is even more marked,
caused in part by the. Mississippi
backing the water. The rapidity of
the rise in the Des Moines is unprece-
dented but no damage has been done
as yet save at Keokuk.

For Recognition of the
Union.

Johnstown, Pa, April 26.-Three
hundred and fifty miners employed in
the mines Of the Cambria Steel COM
pany here struck today for recognition
OF the Union Mine Workers Of Am
erica. Two men were discharged by
Superintendent Robinson and the men
claim 1t was because of their belonging
to the union. Robinson refused to re-
instate the men and the strike fol-
lowed. The district organization Of the
miners is backing the strike. As this
is the first opportunity the mine work
ers have had to get the Cambria COM
pany to recognize their union, 1t looks
as though all mines OF the company
