Jail Better Than Fines.

In Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, several
 election officers were convicted of con spring to commit crime against the
 elective franchise, whereupon some of the citizens petitioned the court to inn pose a simple fine upon the offenders. The court, however, knew its duty bet ter, and declined to listen to the mis- taken appeal for clemency. Then the election officers went to prison.
 By merely imposing a fine for such offenders there can be no hope of de- terring other men from committing the same crime against the people. Fines are easily settled by the party man. agers, and the offenders thereby dis miss the matter with the contention that they were only playing the game of politics" and that no harm was real ly done. But when a man is sent to prison it is another matter. He can- not settle his accounts by the use of proxy or by a substitute. He has to forego his liberty to eat prison ra, tions, perhaps to wear a striped suit, and be stamped as a convicted crim- inal.
 Were there more rascally election off, ficers and bribers sent to prison crimes against the ballot would not be com mitted so frequently. The poor miser- able fellow who steals a bit of old iron to secure money to obtain the price of drink is sent to prison for larceny. His crime does not injure society to any appreciable extent, yet he cannot escape punishment. But the man who cheats at the polls, and the man who bribes voters are both infiicting a great wrong upon the entire people, and thus they are greater criminals than the man who is convicted of petty larceny.
 We should like to see the law made and provided for the punishment of those guilty of election frauds punished whenever the opportunity is offered Tn this way-and in this way only can election crimes be reduced in num- Der. Mere infiiction of fines is noth- ing. Money losses to such men do not deter them from committing their of- lenses again. They know that they will be backed by the party managers for whom they operate, and thus they have no personal responsibility. Going to prison is another matter and even the most hardened violator of the elec- tion laws dreads a prison cell and the odium attached.

The Flood in Kansas City Subsiding but the Outlying Districts Are Still Under Water.

Kansas City, Mo, July S.-Tonight the Raw is falling here, and west to Topeka, and it is confidentiaIly believ- ed that the worst of the flood is owe. Not for many days, however, will nor. nal conditions prevail at Armourdale. Argentine and the low portion or east ern Kansas City, Kan, where hundreds Of houses of the working class are un~ der water, and many plants are inun- dated. In the low portion of Armour dale, which is located in the most un- favorable portion of the flood district, water is from three to six feet deep, while surrounding the Nelson Morris

 dale and close to the mouth of t,lt kaw,, the water is twelve feet deep. Armourdale is practically abandon | ed, the streets running rivers, and this town of 5000 may never be rebuilt rwo disastrous floods in thirteen months ut terly discouraging a majority of it's former inhabitants. The aggregate
 loss will be heavy.
 After flooding a portion of the west
 bottoms on the Missouri side to q
 depth of four feet the water in the job
 ping district and in the railroad yards
 became stationary at noon today, and
 began to fall when within three blocks
 of the union station. The flood in the west bottoms was caused by the back water. which receded quickly when tho kaw began to go down.
 The flood conditions in Kansas, off
 the Raw watershed, are still serious, streams at Abilene, Ottawa, Emporia and Wichita still being high and con tinuing to rise at some points.
 The water is running several feet deep through little settlement of Riverside on the west side of Kaw riv- CT in Kansas City, Kan. This district is suffering quite as much as 1t did last year, because. although the vol ume of water in the Raw is not nearly so great as during the June flood of last year, the Riverside district this year must withstand the full force of the overflow from the Raw, while last year the Raw cut a channel direct from Argentine through the stock yards and the west bottoms to the Missouri river. Argentine, Armourdale and Riverside are all damage as much as last year for this reason. In Riv- erside, hundreds of employees of the packing houses and west bottoms fac tories were driven from their homes and tonight only the tops of their houses were visible above the surface of the water. Scores of houses have been washed away The new plant of the Nelson Morris Packing company is being erected in Riverside.
 The unfinished buildings are now surrounded by a lake from six to twelve feet deep. Around the north west corner of these buildings the cur rent is running at such a fearful rate that the foundation of one of the build ings was undermined and a portion of the walls collapsed. In the erection of these buildings, it is said, every preacution was taken to fortify them against the effects of the flood. A hundred yards north of the Nelson Morris packing plants hundreds of men are working to keep q small ls- land intact around the Riverside elec- tric power house of the Metropolitan Street Car company. This building re- ceives the full force of the current, and it requires unceasing vigilance to save its foundations. Looking south east and northwest from Riverside the view is a dismal one. To the north west for a mile can be seen the low lands of eastern Kansas City, Kan., and to the southwest for miles the stricken Armourdale district, all mak- ng one vast lake dotted with the tops of houses, factories and other build ngs.

j. w. GIeed Says That Topeka-Kansas
City Project Isn't Entirely Dead.

The appointment of receiver for the
Kansas City and Olathe Electric Rail-
way company will not interfere with
the building of the line eventually to
Topeka. This statement was made by
J. w. Gleed this morning, who is in
terested in the matter legally.
LAS 1 understand it," said Mr.. Gleed,
1.-The Topeka company will probably go
anead and get a new right of way and
build the road
Upon being asked whether the fore
closure of the Olathe company might
sufficiently clear up matters to permit
the Topeka company to continue the
road already started three miles out of
Rosedale, Mr.. Gleed said: THAT may
be done, but I in reality am unable to
say anything on that phase of the sub
ject."
In speaking of the suit itself, Mr..
Gleed said: 1.-The only way in which
the Topeka people were made party
was through the fact that the Fidelity
Trust company of Kansas City thought
it best to include them inasmuch as
they had dealt with the Olathe com
pany with view to buying the road.
The fact of the matter is that the To-
peka people considered such a deal but
then broke it off. The suit was against
the Olathe company primarily, and the
Topeka company was only made
party because the Fidelity Trust COM
pany thought that there might still be
some remaining lingering interest"

CowDERY MAKES APPEAL.
Ottawa Druggist Objects to Being
Called a Jointist.

DIR. c. L. Cowdery, an Ottawa drug
gist, objects to having mis- drug store
termed a joint and he further objects
to having it proved one to the extent
that the district court of Franklin coun-
ty decided that it was a nuisance and
must be abated. He has appealed to
the supreme court to reverse the dis
trict court.
Cowdery mas been running drug
store in Ottawa for a, number of years.
Some time ago he had his permit to sell
liquor revoked, but when the officers
raided his store they found enough
liquors to stock an amateur saloon and
have plenty left over. He was arrested
a time or two for violating the prohib-
itory law but always escaped convic-
ton.
Then County Attorney Pleasant, of
Franklin county, started an action de-
claring his drug store nuisance and
asking for an injunction against his
continuing it as such. hard fought
legal battle followed, but the county
attorney won. Now Cowdery wants
the supreme court to make the district
court take it back.

Big Shipment of War Material.
London, July 2S-The Times this
morning says that six German steamers
have been chartered to take 81, 500, 600
worth of war material from Hamburg
to Constantinople. The inference is
drawn, according to the Times, that
this material is intended for the equip
ment of the Russian volunteer steam
ers or other Russian war ships in the
Black sea.
Japanese Pressing Forward
Sintsintin, Manchuria, July 2S.-Sim-
south, the Japanese from the north
have pressed forward toward the west,
as if to strike the railroads out of Muk-
den, but the move is not made by
thought scarcely possible that the Jap
anese would dare to extend such a line,
leaving the troops on the Russian left
in a position to flank them.
Notwithstanding the prophecies of
some of the Manchuria weather experts
there is only a slight rainy season this
year. Rain is falling everywhere how
ever, and several of the rivers are over
flowing. The question of provisioning
the troops will soon have to be faced
by the japanese as the movement of
transport trains through the country is
already almost impossible.

HE PULLED DOWN THE HOUSE
Saloon Keeper Who Hit Mrs. Nation

The following is special dispatch

Elizabethtown, KY, July 25.-The as
sault of Saloonkeeper j. R. Neignbors
upon Mrs. Carrie Nation is the same
thing to the temperance cause in this
city as the blowing up of the Maine was
to Cuban independence. 1t has aroused
all the churches in Elizabethtown and
will bring about vote on the whisky
question. Rev. A. p. Lyon of the Meth
odist church preached against the whis-
ky traffic yesterday morning. At a
union meeting of the Baptist, Meth
odist, Presbyterian and Christian
churches at the Methodist church last
night Rev. w. H. Brengle, of the Bap-
tist church, also talked upon the tenn
perance subject, and at the close of the
meeting requested the members of the
several denominations present to sig
Nifty their objections to the selling of
whisky in Elizabethtown by arising to
their feet. The congregation of about
$50 persons arose as unit
This morning Revs. A. p Lyon, W.
H. Brengle and Wn- Megginsen, Coun-
ty Attorney L. A. Faurest and Com
monwealth's Attorney j. R. Layman
met and formulated petition for the
purpose of voting upon the whisky
question in October. A union religious
revival of the several denominations of
the city will be held.

VladivoStOk squadron. The Hamburg
American company, the owners of the
ship, undoubtedly will appeal to the
German government to secure the re-
lease of its ship and compensation for
the delay in her cruise and other items
of loss. 1t is deemed highly desirable
to take conservative action and above
all to avoid the increasing irritation
aroused in shipping circles over the
recent seizures and sinking of vessels.
Therefore Mr.. Eddy has been, it is
understood, instructed to make some
very moderate representations to the
RUSSIAN government and these may be
strengthened later if expedient.

protesting against the action of the Rus
steamer Arabia which left this port early
this month for the Orient, carrying a
mlS1eaafe0us nin aaf os o,S cargo including large
IN Hong Kong and other far eastern
points. The protest is lengthy one and
statement of the facts relating to the
cargo carried by the Arabia. The state
ment is made that the -four shipment is
only one of many made by the Portland
Flour Milling company to regular con-
1hs emphasizing the G fact % that tn the Arabia ans is
a neutral vessel, carrying the German
flag and engaged in legitimate business On
the high seas, carrying a legitimate car
go from an American port consigned to
private parties in the port of Hong Kong
to private citizens and subjects of the
Chinese empire
Speaking of the protest sent by him to
the state department on behalf of the
Portland Flour Milling company, Senator
Mitchell said that he had made the pro-
test vigorous, because of the serious Inn
port of the questions involved. Senator
Mitchell has requested the state depart
ment to advise him of the conclusions
reached by the department in its negotia-
tions with the Russian government and
of the action taken by this government
in the matter. Senator Mitchell had been
advised that similar protest would be
made by New York attorneys on behalf
of the German owners of the Arabia.
