THE REVIVAL.

Ia spits OF the threatening weather
last night, a large audience greeted
Egaogelist Holcomb st the Washing
ton STREET Methodist Church. The
preacher took for his subject. "Prspsr.
log the Way" The text was Luke, 8 4.
He said: ga revival Is visit from God.
Christians must prepare for this visit,
before he will come. The mountains
must be laid low. The mountain Of
pride is the most difficult to overcome.
No matter how smart you are, there is
some one that is smarter. No matter
uow rich you are, there is some one who
ia richer, No matter how beautiful you
g. there is come one more beautlinl
Thsre is something 10 the lives OF ell OF
OF use that If We stop to think will take
the starch out of us, something that Will
bring us down on a level With other
folks. The crooked places must be made
straight. God will not work through q
crooked life. The valleys must be filed
M. and the rough places made smooth
A. long as you have malice OF haired In
your heart, God cannot work through
You and your work will fail"
At the close of the sermon the evan
eelist asked all who desired to coDseciate
their lives anew 10 the service OF God to
come forward and give him their hand.
Most Of The congregation responded
The large chorus choir, under the
l. a 1ership of Mr.. Rountree, sang a
number Of songs before and after the
sermon. This feature of the service Is
very attractive, the songs being new aud
spirited. Mr.. Rountree sang as solo,
IT sm Praying for YOU"
There will be no service tonight. 10.
morrow will be busy day. There Will
be preaching at IL o'clock, $3.50 p M
and a. 1880 at night. The afternoon
service will be for men, and will be held
in the Young Peoples Building, and
the subject will be "WhsPs Your POr-
rosa ?"

DEAD BY HIS OWN HAND.
Mr.. JULIAN FoGG, A Prominent
BLACKSMITH, SUICIDES.

Mr.. JULIAN FoGG, PROMINENT
BLACKSMITH, SUICIDES.
Lying on the hoor in the tack part Of
Mr.. ]. Oven Lynch's grocery and liquor
store, at the southeast corner of Henry
and Duke streets, at 2:20 o'clock this
afterpaou wss The lifeless body OF MI.
Julisn Fogg, who ct one time conducted
one of the largest blacksmith es'aSlish-
ments iu this city. he had been drink
ing to excess and spprt ached Mr. Lynch,
the proprietor, and asked for glass OF
liquor, which Mr.. Lynch refused him.
Mr.. Fogg, thinking that the proprietor was
Anticipating that he would not be paid
for the liquor, informed Mr.. Lynch that
he ba money and wanted drink. Mt.
Lynch again refused him, telling Mr..
FOeg that be already had enough and
could get DO liquor IN his place. Mr..
Lynch then started for the grocery por-
ton of his store, bat he had hardly
turned his back when Mr.. Fogg placed
a 38-cslibre pistol to his own head and
brought to close all his earthly troubles.
The ball entered the brain from the
right side Of his head aud caused instant
death. Mr.. Fogg's business had been
declining for some time and 1t is Possi-
bic that financial troubles caused The
rash act. He was married man and
lived on King street, between Patrick
sod Henry. His wife was the "idoW OF
Capt. Miles, who WAS we'll known as
conductor on the PeDnsylyauia Railroad
some years ago. Sue had one daughter.
Mr.. Fogg conducted blacksmith shop
on Lee street, Just north Of King, at the
time of his suicide.
There we're two or three railroad men
10 the store when the act was committed
but they were powerless to prevent 1t.
1t is said by friends Of the unfortunate
man tbst he had been contemplating this
act for come time. Alter he fell TO the
floor DR.. NJ. D. Delaney was summoned,
but could do nothing for him, as he vas
beyond hope. DR.. S. B. Moore, the
coroner, was summoned, and pro-
nounced sn inquest unnecessary. The
body of Mr.. Fogg was later removed to
mis- home on King street.
1t will be remembered that a few
months ago Mr., Fogg was bitten on the
hand by horse, for which he was treat
ed at the Psstsur destitute, 10 Washing
ton. This worried him considerably and
combined, possibly, with the loss of
once lucrative business, no doubt caused
him to take his life.
Mr.. Fogg was a genial, whole souled
citizen, and his death under the above
circumstances is deplored.

FINED THREE DOLLARS.

Mr.. L. D. Lyles, Market Master,
complained to the police department
this morning of the procedure Of a
countryman, who, he alleged, had ex-
posed spinach on his bench which he
had purchased from another man. The
accused was cited to appear before the
Police Court and show cause why he
should not be fined for conducting bust
ness without 8 license. Being unable
to do so, he was made to Pay So. 1t
has often been observed that much OF
the produce exhibited on the benches of
some countrymen could not have been
grown by them.

PLAGUE HITS CARACAS
A Case Develops in One of the City's
fashionable Cafes.

Caracas, June 1.-THE dreaded
plgaue has at last, come. to Caracas,
which for few months past has been
hoping against hope that it might be
spared from the scourge which had
stricken the neighboring port of La
Guayra. The city awakened today to
the full knowledge that the disease was
here and the fact that the case was
that OF an employee of the famous La
india cafe, one of the finest in Caracas,
did not tend to decrease the general
alarm. 1t was realized that the pres
ence OF the bubonic plague in such
quarters meant that no section of the
city was safe from it's ravages.
About the same time. rumor spread
that there was another case in another
section Of the city
As no money has been appropriated
with which to fight the disease in La
Guayra or to clean up Caracas, and
as the money subscribed by the mer-
chants and corporations was not suffi-
cient for the purpose the joint COM
mission of doctors and merchants
which has been fighting the disease In
La Guayra has been obliged to aban-
don it's efforts. Neither the public nor
the government has been awakened I'M
til the present to the dire necessity for
action

lEvEE UNDER WATER.
The Mississippi Continues to Rise
Steadily at ST. Louis.

ST. Louis, June 1.-THE Mississippi
river. which has been steadily rising
for the past three weeks, has reached
a stage of 33.7 feet. almost four feet
above the flood danger line. and the
levee is completely submerged The
cellars OF buildings along the levee are
flooded and it is predicted that before
the day is over the first floors will be
covered by water.
Mayor Cook, who is personally con-
Quoting the work of safeguarding East
ST. Louis, is not apprehensive of flood
damage at the present stage Of the
river.
Most of the steamboats, are obliged
to lower their smoke stacks in passing
under Fades bridge.
The first caisson on the Missouri
shore Of the new steel bridge being con-
structed for the Mckinley Electric In
terurban railway system was carried
away by the flood today. The caisson
is 80 by 20 feet in dimensions, built of
heavy timbers. 1t was held in place by
pilings and two heavy steel cables. The
strain of the flood caused the cables to
snap and the caisson f1oated away. 1t
was secured by tug and tied UP at
the foot Of Dixon street.

intervals during the day.
The light rains which fell in the
watershed Of the Kaw during the past
tWenty-four hours will under no con-
olton cause another rise in the river
at this point as the rate of fall will
more than care for the water which

North Topekans are again at home
ana have taken up house cleaning for
the second time within a week, with
renewed vfgor. The water has receded
from North Topeka excepting in few
instances where it is retained by banks
OF earth and where it will remain until
removed by drainage or evaporation.
Ieh residents of the flooded portion of
the city are experiencing trouble in
securing help to assist in the. house
cleaning process, as the railroads are
using hundreds Of men in repairing
their tracks, and the damage done to
their property by the high waters.
Little Russia is no longer under
water and the natives of this low dis
trict are again at work and repairing
the damage done to their property.
low places in North Topeka are looked
upon as a menace to the health of the
residents of that part of the city and
more uneasiness is felt from this con-
dition than any other at the present
time A few days of warm sunshine
would work wonders from the sanitary
standpoint but the forecasts of the
weather bureau do not offer a great
deal Of encouragement along this line.
Soldier creek is again safely within
considerable area lying adjacent to the
bed of the stream. The street railway
company has a force Of men at work
in North Topeka repairing the damage
done to their property by the flood wa
tiers and will have their line in ship
shate as soon as the water recedes
from Kansas avenue to Kious street.
This is one Of the low districts in the
portion of the city which was flooded
and it will be several days before the
waters entirely leave this section of
North Topeka.
The use of horses as motive power
to draw the street cars through the
street on Kansas avenue was aband-
oned Tuesday afternoon as the depth
OF the water is such that electricity
can be Used to force them through the
flooded area. The loop at the end Of
the track near Garfield park has been
repaired anu the car SeTNlCe III INOTtIl
Topeka is in about as good shape as it
was the, day prior to the first flooding
of the tracks.
There is some water standing in
pools on this side of the river in the
vicinity of Crane street and this too
Is becoming stagnate and complaints
are pouring into the office Of the city
health department. The showers
which have fallen during the past few
days have served to add freshness to
the pools Of stagnating water and
depth as well.
