FERRIS IS ACQUITTED.
Man Who Dynamited a Train Freed
of Murder Charge.

Butte, June 20.-Louis Ferris has
been acquitted on the charge of mur-
der in connection with the alleged
dynamiting Of the overland Burling-
ton train near this city May 1, last,
the jury deliberating scarcely an hour.
Ferris who is a youth of % years, con-
fessed to dynamiting the train but the
defense claimed that the confession
had been wrung from Ferris by third
degree methods. Ferris's mother and
sister testified that they heard the Of
ficers promise the prisoner job of
driving team, new suit of clothes,
freedom and other things II he would
acknowledge the dynamitfng of the
train.
The defense insisted that bad rail,
not dynamite caused the wrecking of
the train, introducing a number of
witnesses to bear out the contention.

Mr.. RYAN IS FUNNY.
Democratic Leader Says Taft Is Weak
Piece of Timber.

Had to come down to file my pa
pers,' said W. H. Ryan, who is in
Topeka today. wasn't interested in the
Chicago convention in the least, for
the nomination Of Secretary Taft has
been a foregone conclusion for months
If not years. It Is what we have all
expected and you can say for me that
he is about the weakest piece of tim
ber that could have been selected from
my view point. The nomination was
ali cut and dried and I think that 1t
means a victory for Bryan at the
polls in November.
Every thing in the state looks good
to me and I am sure that neither
Stubbs nor Leland will be the next
governor of Kansas and modesty pre-
vents me from making the statement
more definite. John Atwood is out Of
the race for the nomination for COVER
nor and as far as I can see it will be
either Botkin or Ryan and my choice
is Ryan. John Atwood has written a
letter to B. S. Strother, editor Of the
Galena Times, in which he says: I
neither want. will not seek, nor will
I accept the nomination for governor.
I simply cannot take it and that is all
that there is to it and the circulation
of petitions tends to unsettle conditions
and I wish it stopped That should
settle the matter of the candidacy Of
Mr. Atwood and leave a clear field for
Mr.. Botkin and myself"

BetrOthal of Anna Gould and
Prince Helie Announced.
Wedding Is Expected to Take
Place Within a Fortnight.
HE is 49 AND SHE is 33.
The Ceremony Will Be Accord
ing to Protestant Ritual.
Only a Few Friends and Rela-
tives to Be Present.

Paris, June 20.-The marriage bans
or Nine. Anna Gould, formerly the
Countess De Castellane and Prince
Hel1e De Sagan, a cousin of Nine.
Gould's first husband, have been post
ed on the walls of the offices of the
mayor of the sixteenth and seven
teenth ACCOMPLISHMENTS of Paris in ac-
cordance with the law, that requires
the publication of a marriage in the
ACCOMPLISHMENT of each contracting
party. Neither Nine. Gould nor the
Prince De Sagan appeared personally
in the mayors office, friends acting
for them.
The document which in the case of
Nine. Gould is preceded by the mar
riage declaration of a seamstress, and
followed by that of a butcher, reads
as follows:
This publication of an intended
marriage between Marie Pierre Ca
mile Louis Helie Bosom De Talley-
rand-Perigord, Prince De Sagan, rent
Ter, domiciled at No. IL Rue Sedillot,
eldest son of Charles Guillaume-Fred-
erlck-Boson de Talleyrand-Perigord
Duke De Sagan and Talleyrand, with
out profession, and Anne Alexandrine
Seilliere, deceased and Anna Gould,
without profession, domiciled at No
126 Avenue Malakoff, daughter of Jay
Gould and Helen Miller, deceased, di-
vorced from Marie-Paul Boniface,
Count De Castellane, of which ac-
acknowledgement has been drawn up, is
posted this day on the doors of the
mayors office
The document gives the age of Nine.
Gould at 33 and Prince De Sagan as
49. Although the marriage will not
take place in France, the French law
required that the bans be published in
the place of domicile. The exact place
and date of the wedding have not
been disclosed, but it will be celebrat-
ed within fortnight and very quiet
ly, only a few friends and relatives,
including George ]. Gould, being pres
ent. The religious ceremony will be
according to the Protestant rite.
Prince Helie has not renounced his
Catholic faith.
Count Boni De Castellane has not
yet made any legal move, and Nine.
Gould's lawyers do not think he will
act until after the marriage. They are
confident his efforts to secure pssses-
sion of his children will be futile.

Mississippi Believed to Have
Reached Its Highest Limit.
Current Is Running at Fourteen
Miles an Hour.
LEVEES OF SAND BAGS
Have Been Erected at a Number
of Low Lying Points.
Seven Feet of Water in the
Streets of Venice.

St. Louis, Mo-, June 20.-Sweeping
through the valley at the rate OF four
teen miles an hour the flood tide Of
the Mississippi river 1t, is believed has
reached it's crest and after remaining
stationary for a day will slowly begin
to recede. The stage measured 34.9
here this morning A rise OF a little
more than one inch during the night.
The slight rise was sufficient to dis
lodge the driftwood and whereas the
river yesterday was dotted on here
and there by trunks of trees lazily
| bobbing on the surface, steady
stream of debris is today surging
through st. Louis harbor on its way
toward the gulf. This indicates that
since yesterday considerable addition
al ground has been inundated up
stream.
Ceaselessly toiling through the night
gangs of laborers, piled thousands of
| sacks Of sand to form temporary lev
ees for the protection of East St.
Louis and today, viewed from Fades
bridges long lines of white sacks ex-
| tend out as far as the eye can reach
with scores Of patrol watches on
guard.
Venice, Madison and Granite City.
Immediately north OF East st. Louis
and situated along the river are suf-
fering from the flood.
Venice Justifies Its Name.
In Venice especially the situation is
grave. The flood has covered the half
mile Of territory between the center of
the town and the river. Main street,
paralleling the river and itself an en-
bankment five feet above the other
portion Of the city, is only a foot
above the water line. Houses west OF
Main street are standing in water sew
| en- feet deep and many have been
abandoned. The occupants are living
| in tents wherever high ground can be
found in the vicinity. Should addi-
tfonal heavy rains send the river up
another foot Venice would be entirely
under water and traffic on the railroad
arteries leading to the north would
have to be abandoned.
| In Madison and Granite City, towns
| occupying for the most part higher
| ground, the flood has encroached only
| into the outlying portions.
| Betwixt all three of these towns the
| low farming lands are inundated from
one to ten feet deep. Street car traf-
| fic between Venice and East St. Louis
| has been abandoned and their tracks
are under water. The Mckinley sys-
| tenn line connecting the cities Is still
above water but in places the cinder
embankment forming the roadbed has
| been covered with sand bags and
| further protected from the tapping
waves by strings Of telegraph poles
Joined end to end.
Much of the fertile lowland between
Madison and East St. Louis Is devoted
to potato raising and bands of farmers
worked all night valiantly striving to
build embankments to protect their
potato fields. But the water resistless-
" spread onward as the rise of an
inch was sufficient to inundate large
areas of the fiat ground and much Of
the work was In vain.

President Roosevelt Writes a
Letter to Spreckels,
Urging Him to Keep Up the
Fight Against Graft.
HE KNOWS HOW 1T. is.
Has Had Difficulties to Contend
With Himself
to Those Encountered in
San Francisco Prosecutions.

san Francisco, June 20-The Call
prints letter dated June 8. at the
White House from President Roosevelt
to Mr. Rudolph Spreckels, in which he
comments on the local graft prosecu-
mons and urges the prosecutors to
keep up the fight" The following is
the letter in part:
My Dear Mr.. Spreckels:-Now and
then you and Mr.. Heney and the others
who are associated with you must feel
doWnhearted when you see men guilty
OF atrocious crimes who for some cause
or other succeed in escaping punish
ment and especially when you see men
of wealth, of high business and in a
sense, OF high social standing banded
together against you.
My dear sir, I want you to feel that
your experience is simply the expert
ence OF all of us who are engaged in
this fight. There is no form of slander
and wicked falsehood which will not as
matter Of course be employed against
all men engaged in such struggle.
Now, I do hope that you and your
colleagues will treat all this bitterness
with entire disregard. 1t is of small
consequence to you or to any of us who
are engaged in this work, whether men
think well or otherwise personally of
us. But it is of great consequence
that we should do the work without
finching on one hand and On the other
W1llOuI lOSlIlS OuT SOOu luIIlOIcu COll-
mon sense, without becoming angered
and irritated to degree that will in
any way cause us to lose our heads.
ut is just as bad to be ruled by a
plutocracy as by mob. 1t is pro-
foundly un-American, and in a social
sense profoundly immoral to stand for
or against given man, not because
he is or is not a brave upright and
able man, but because he does or does
not belong to labor union or does not
represent the big business interests. In
their essence, down at the foundation
of things, the ties that are all import
ant are those that knit honest men,
brave men, square dealing men to-
gether and it is a mighty poor substf-
tute if we replace these ties by those
that bind men together, whether they
are good or bad, simply because they
follow a particular business, have a
given social standing or belong to a
particular organization.
"You have heart-breaking difficult
ties with which to contend. You have
to fight not only the banded powers OF
evil, but, alas, that it should be said,
the supineness and Indifference OF
many good men. upon whose Jealous
support you had right to feel that
YOU could rely. Do not be discouraged; /;
do not finch You are in fight for
plain decency, for the plain democra-
cy of the plain people who believe In
honesty and in fair dealing as between
man and man. Do not become dis
heartened. Keep up the tight.
Very sincerely yours.

Capital City Savings bank. the only
negro bank in Arkansas, has gone
into the hands of a receiver on request

There was only $4,000 in cash on
hand and the doors were not opened.
Liabilities are about $4,000, with as
sets considerably in excess.
