Mrs. Stanford came here from San

that enough poison had been used to
kill twenty persons.

Before retiring last night Mrs. Stan

which she purchased at San Fracnisco.
It is reported that the soda contained
strychnine. but this report cannot be

THE DEs MONIES RISES SEVEN
FEET WITHIN SIX
HOURS.
ICE GORGE I HE CA Sc
Blockade Breaks Above the City,
And Heavy Flow office Brings Fast
Rise at Market Street Bridse.-No
Damage Results and Water Is Clear.

From Wednesdays Daily
Seven feet in six hours was the phe-
nomenal rise Of the Des Moines river
at the market street bridge from
o'clock last evening till shortly after
midnight. Huge cakes and sections
of ice, weighing many tons are today
lying high and dry along the "old
channel on the south side of the river
below the bridge, having been car
ried there and left blythe flood of last
night.
At 6 o'clock last evening after a rise
and fall of two feet during the day, the
river stood at 6 feet on the guage on
the bridge. About 1890 this morning
the water had reached the 13 foot
stage, where 1t remained stationary for
some time. This morning at O'Clock
| it was back to To- feet. where
| 1t remained several hours, later falling
slowly to 8 feet. at 2 O'Clock this af
| ternoon
The heavy and sudden rise is be-
lieyed by those who are conversant
with the ways and habits of the Des
| Moines to have been caused by the
breaking up of the ice gorge at some
point UP the river. The rush of ice
during the night when the river was al
! Its height is said to have been the
1 greatest for many years. Today the
river is entirely clear, except that oc
casionally small fields of ice come
rushing down beneath the bridge.

DAN SHEPHERD ON TRIAL.
Jury Secured in Murder Case at Fair

Jury Secured in Murder Case at Fair
field.
Fairfield March IA jury was fin
ally secured in the case of the State
of Iowa VS. Dan Shepherd which began
Monday, and was sworn in at 10: 40
a. m. Tuesday.
The opening statement of the case
was made by County Attorney Charles
s. Grail, reviewing in detail the crime
that was committed on the evening of
January 5. He was followed by the
attorney for the defendant, P. ]. Han
ley, of Washington, at the conclusion
of the opening statements, the court
adjourned until 1870. At the conven-
ing of court after dinner, the court
were summoned on both sides, and af-
ter being sworn, they were retired to
jury room until wanted.
The first witness for the state was
Mrs. Christian Womelsdorff, the widow
of the murdered man. She was in
clined to tell more than was asked Of
her, and it took the attorneys on both
sides, besides the judge to keep her
within bounds. She is quite old and
palsied and at times did not. appear to
understand the questions propounded
to her, but on the whole she made a
good witness for the state, and made
the identification of Shepherd at the
Womelsdorff home on that fateful ev-
ening complete. The star witness for
the state was sister of Dan Shep-
herd who told some very damaging
stories against her brother, but as
there are SO many witnesses for the
defendant, 1t is very likely that the
evidence of the step sister will be i'm
peached.
When court adjourned last evening,
Shepherd had the worst of it all around
and his attorneys will have to depend
very largely upon impeachment of the
state witnesses. Court convened this
morning at o'clock

ASK FOR HELP
PEOPLE q ,..aTsBuRG PRAY
FOR THEIR aslNFUL
MAYOR"

Philadelphia, Pa, March 1.-Nearly
200 ministers met in Holy Trinity
church yesterday and prayed that 'the
shackles Of the gang be stricken from
our sinful mayor" and for the redemp.
tion of the city from machine rule and
the reign of vice. Three hundred held
services in their own churches and
sent up a similar prayer, or moved
around among their congregations
stimulating supplications.
In their exhortations the ministers
compared 'the vice ridden city Of Phil.
adelphia" to Babylon and to Sodom
and Gomorrah of the scriptures, and
decided those responsible for the con.
ditions should take warning lest the
Lord should wipe out the stain in a
sea of fire.

Constantinople, March 1.-The pres
ent insurrection in Yeman province,
Arabia, appears to have put in the
shade all previous revolts. The cen
ter Of the movement is at Saada,
northward of Sanaa, and already
there are signs of its extension to the
province of Assyr.
The. insurgents have again sur
rounded Sanaa and stubborn fight
has been in progress for five days.
Many Turkish troops are deserting.
The towns Of Aab and Hidjeh are on
the point of capitulating. The alleged
Turkish victory of February turns
out to have been an insurgenr success.
The object of the insurrection is be-
lieved to be the creation Of an auton-
omous Arab state.

Drowned at Grendell Mills.

GREENWOOD, May 22.-This afternoon
at the Grendell Mills one of the opera
tives in the machine shops. A. Anthony,
was drowned in the large pond used as a
reservoir. The accident occurred while
Anthony, in company with s. 5. Hale,
was repairing bridge over the pond.
After completing the work the two at
tempted to swim to the shore, but Mr..
Anthony gave out. Hale did all in his
power to save the sinking man, but was
unable to catch him.
President McKissick was notified, and
went at once to the scene Of the accident,
jumped into the pond, and, after hard
work, recovered the body. Physicians
were called, but the body had remained
in the water too long to be resuscitated.
Mr.. McKissick deserves great praise for
his prompt response and his success in
recovering the body.
Anthony, the drowned man, was from
Spartanburg, and leaves wife, who
resides at the mill. His remains will be
taken to Spartanburg tomorrow.

Knew Their Place.

The following good story, says the
Richmond mes.Dispatch was recently
brought to Richmond by Georgia lady
A Boston couple were recreating near
Augusta, and met an old negro woman,
to whom they took fancy. They invited
her to paw them a visit, and the black
woman accepted, especially as her ex-
penses were paid. In due time she
arrived in Boston, and was installed in
the house of the white folks. She occu-
pied one of the best rooms and ate at the
same table with her host and hostess. At
one of the meals the hostess said: "Mrs.
Jones, you were slave, weren't you?"
ayes, marm,' replied "Mrs. Jones" Il
b'longed to Mars Robert Howell"
II suppose he never invited you to eat
at his table, remarked the Boston woman.
Nor, dat he amt" replied Mrs. Jones"
my marster was real gentleman. he
amt never let no niger set at de table
long er him"
And in making this speech, she meant
no disrespect to her hostess. She meant
merely to point out natural distinction.

Of the Pittsburg Dispatch. It came ON
the head Of Miss Hately, a passenger
from Liverpool on the Coronia, and
created a big sensation at the steam.
ship dock. The hat IS called "propel
Ter" because it resembles part Of q
ships equipment and Is said to be par
ticularly appropriate for wear while at
sea. Owing to the curious shape Of
the headgear, however, It cannot well
be worn during windy weather. The
blade Of the hat, which sailors would
say began aft on the port side and ran
forward to starboard, Is 80 susceptible
to wind that it might not only capsize
the owner, but, having such a peculiar
twtrl, in strong breeze might easily
twist its owners neck.
