The whole valley of the Slang was
flooded, the floods pouring over the dykes
in torrents. Siantan, a prosperous city,
was flooded to the second stories of the
riverside buildings. At Chansha the wa
ter flowed through the city gates flooding
out the people the water being as high

MAE THOMAS is GUILTY.
Jury at Omaha Decides She Stole Dia-
mond and Swallowed 1t De-
spite he Mumps.

OMAHA, Neb., June lit is the
opinion of twelve good men and true
that a woman with the mumps can
swallow diamond. Mae Thomas, ac-
cording to the verdict, is guilty Of grand
larceny.
After all, the question of what be-
came of the diamond still is awaiting
answer. If she swallowed it, as she
has stated on sundry occasions, though
she testified she did not know whether
she had or not is it still in her stomach,
is the question which Jeweler Combs
would like to have answered.
Miss Thomas has declared that if she
were placed on trial she would not con-
sent to the use of the knife to enable
Jeweler Combs to get back his diamond,
and there the matter rests.

ing the % cent rate it was legal and
that the Burlington later raised its tariff
to 80 cents.
Judge McPreson said that in the case
on trial there is no question as to the
reasona bleness of the rates nor as to
the efficiency of the service, but the ques
ton is: Did the defendant packing COM
pany receive unlawful concessions in
making said shipments?
Sentence to Come Later.
The case was given to the jury at
10:40. The verdict was returned at
II 40. Judge Mcpherson stated that
the sentence would not be assessed until
the case against the Burlington railway,
which is charged with granting the con-
cession to the packers, is concluded.
The Burlington's trial began this aft
ernoon. The law in the present case
provides for fine only, and not jail
sentence.

Asks That Preparations for His Execu-
ton Be Stayed, but Receives Small
Satisfaction.

OSSINING, \. Y, June 12.-Albert
I. Patrick, the lawyer whose appeal for
a new trial on the charge of numbering
William Marsh Rice was denied yester-
day, suggested to Warden Johnson of
the state prison today that the warden
defer his arrangements for Patrick's ex-
ecution next week. Patrick, who did not
seem respondent, notified the warden
he was preparing an application to the
United States circuit court of writ of
error and that this would probably stay
the execution. Warden Johnson, how
ever, informed Patrick that he should
continue his arrangements unless stopped
by order of the court. The warden said
he will issue tickets on Thursday to the
necessary witnesses to Patrick's execu-
ton.

Frog Skins a Puzzle.

NEW ORLEANS, La, June ian
unusual question was today asked OF
several railroads by their rural agents:
Shall frog skin be classed with wild
animal hides, bird skins, fish, or in a
class by itself for which double rates
shall be charged? Dealers have had
the skins shipped under each heading,
but so large has become the industry of
sending them east for manufacture into
covers for womens pocketbooks that
more uniformity is demanded. The eX.
treme lightness of this commodity has
contributed to the confusion.

SUCKERS BIT AT SMALL BAIT
Arrest of Negro Preacher Who Prom
ised Lot Immigrant Is Requested
OF Dawson Official,
OF Dawson Official.

Chief of Police Hill has received a
request from Prentiss, Miss, to ar
rest negro preacher who is supposed
to be in Dawson and had promised to
take to that place fifteen negro fami-
lies, for which he had been paid
$500.
1t seems to be a good season for
suckers in Mississippi, but not immi-
grants, whose labor is wanted, from
southwest Georgia.
The letter states that a negro
preacher whose home is thought to
be in Dawson, had contracted to take
fifteen negro families to Prentiss, and
had been paid $500 for his trouble.
The families had failed to arrive,
and likewise the preacher, whose
nameis given as Joe Blakely, had neg
lected to inform those who paid the
money why, or what efforts he was
making to comply with his contract.
Blakely is described as being of gin
ger-cake color, about 100 or 175 in
weight and with a shutting walk.
He is not known in Dawson, and as
labor is quite an item here no spe-
cial effort will be made toward find
ing him and forwarding the people he
had promised to deliver in Missis-
Sippi.
