DID MUCH DAMAGE.
Results Of the Heavy Rains Along
James River Reported.

Memo. S. d. July 2S.-rhe unusually
heavy rainfall and resulting floods dur-
ing the month of May and June has
caused considerable damage to crops
along the James river in this part OF
the ate. While the Q along the
bottomlands are injured to a serious
extent. crops on higher land were never
in better condition and will yield well.
Parties who have recently Travelled over
the flooded district report that the dam
age extends over a distance Of eighty
miles. and that crops have been dam
aged 10 the extent of $1,000 per mile
for the entire distance. or $4,000 in all.
Even the hay crop will be of little value
on some portions of the flooded land.
due to the deposits made by the high
water. 1t is not unusua for the bot
tom lands TO be flooded during the
spring. but the Oldest inhabitant fails
to remember when the land was
flooded before during the month OF
July. Water standing from ten days &c
two weeks in wheat fields hat were al
headed out was one of the features OF
the floods. A great e of the land
which was flooded was occupied by
cash renters. who WITH suffer extensive
losses.

PALACES OF GREAT RULERS.

No monarch in the world eXcels the
Gar of Russia In the splendor of his
palaces. Tsarkoe. near St. Peters
burg. where the emperor has been
staying recently, has a park around it
which is eighteen miles in circumfei-
ence.
One room of the palace has walls OF
lapis laZuli and a floor of ebony inlaid
with mother of pearl. Another has
walls of amber c~uriously carved, and
the walls of d third are laid thick with
gold.
In the throne room of the palace of
the Shah of Persia there is a carpet SO
thickly soWn with pearls that the text
ure OF the cloth can hardly be seen.
Near it is the throne of carved wood,
studded with jewels valued at $4,000
600.
Near the throne stands a huge silver
vase set with pearls and turquoises,
but, strange to say, alongside of it
stands q cheap European painted urn,
such as can be bought anywhere for a
dollar.
The Shah has curious ideas about
the value OF things, and on the walls OF
one room a painting by one of the old
masters hangs side by side with a
fish hooks.
And everywhere about the palace are
cats. The Shah has a specimen Of
every kind of cat of which he has ever
heard. and there is hardly a country
that is not represented in the feline
army which it is the pleasure of the
Persian ruler to maintain.
To take care of this assemblage OF
cats there is a corps of we'll paid Off
Gals.
TIE palace of the emperor of Abys-
sinia is a large building. QUILT like a
Swiss chalet, with a red tiled roof and
whitewashed walls. 1t is Il very ordi-
nary affair. and is surrounded by huts
nothing splendid about the palace OF
its furnishing, and. indeed. 1t would be
considered at quite lacking in every
thing except size as a residence for an
American of moderate means.
But 1t is the palace of an emperor
nevertheless. and of a powerful one.

JONES WALKS FROM JAIL.
elimination Of a Most Sensational
Murder Case in South Dakota.

Sioux Falls. $. d., July 27.-The clos
Ing chapter in n of the most sensa-
tional murder cases I'm the history of
South Dakota is the granting by Gov
ernor Eirod of Il pardon to Lambert b.
Jones. n life prisoner III the Sioux Falls
penitentiary.
Jones today, in accordance with the
terms of the pardon. stepped from the
penitentiary n free man.
The conviction of Jones was based
purely upon circumstantial evidence.
He was found guilty of the murder in
June, 1897. of a celebrated Missouri
river character. named Henry Van
Roden, who was known as Dutch
Henry" Later evidence indicates that
Van Roden was killed by cattle rustlers,
who, to cover their WI tracks. through
friends and accomplices. had the crime
fastened upon Jones. Il Roden and
young Jones lived together on the east
bank OF the Missouri river. in the eX-
IRENE northern part of Charles Mix
county.
Van Roden was quite aged. AT the
time of the murder the we men We're
engaged in gathering driitwood from
the Missouri river. This was to be sold
and the profits divided between them.
In June, 1897, Var Roden disappeared
M no trace of him could be found.
Nine months after the disappearance
of Van Roden. or on March 81. 1898.
the body of the old man was discovered
in a gulch not far from his former
home. The body had been buried. but
the heavy spring rains and melting
SHOWS had washed a part Of the over
