LOST 60 HOGS.
Flood Damages in Monroe County
Last Week.

Paris, Mo-, July 16.-Floods 10
Salt River and its tributaries in
Monroe County, all of which are
out of their banks, have work ID
thousands of dollars in damag 5
since last night, and the streams
are still rising.
The greatest damage has been
done TO wheat and oats and bot
tom corn. Much of the former
grain had been harvested al1
shocked and was washed away,
the rise being so sudden as to pre-
vent getting it to higher ground.
Hundreds of acres of ripened
and harvested grain have been
lost in this way and the list of
losers is a long one. Near Tulip,
Doctor f. w. johnson lost a drove
of sixty-five 200-pound hogs, sold
at 8 cents and TO have been de-
livered to-day. The animals took
refuge on a high knoll, but were
washed away, their owner being
powerless to save them.
Several fiockS of sheep were
lost in the same way, and it is i'm
possible to estimate the damage
at this time.

TIP FOR PROBERS
City Club Makes Su1gaS,
tiOnS to Graft Committee.
BACHE TO PRODUCE BOOKS.
New York Bankers Submit to Request
Of ouizzers After Much Wranglins.
Names Not Connected With In
vestigation to Be Withheld.

New York, Sept. 14.-The committee
appointed to probe alleged graft exist
ing In New York state will again meet
today TO inquire into the accounts and
dealings of various business institu-
tions in New York city. Chairman
Merritt Of the committee sent a letter
to the City club asking for any infor-
nation that might be useful to that
body regarding crooked legislative in
surance methods.
He received letter from the club in
answer to his own, in which that or
ganization asked for probing that
would keep the committee, of graft
hunters" busy for about two years.
The suggestions made by the organiZa-
tion include the inquiry into many bro
kerages and many different kinds Of
petty CRAFTS alleged to have been per-
petrated during the last few years.
The list caused quite a stir when look
ed over by Mr.. Merritt and was set
aside for further scrutinization by the
entire body after they pass upon the
matters now before them.
Chairman Merritt will submit the
letter to full executive committee
meeting If he can get all the members
behind locked doors.
Leopold S. Bache, head Of the bro
kerage firm of ]. s. Bache & Co., came
to terms with the legislative commit
tee that is investigating graft and con-
sented to produce such accounts of the
=, Hxrt hn
committee. The brokers held their
ground to the last ditch and only capt.
ulated when convinced that District
Attorney Whitman was on the point of
issuing a warrant for the arrest of the
senior partner for violation of section
1880 of the penal laws.
After a conference between counsel
for both sides before District Attorney
Whitman the terms were agreed upon.
They were the same that were origi-
nally proposed by the committee
namely, that Bache & Co. should sub
NIT to them q list of their customers
from which they might select the ac-
counts which they desired to inspect.
Jules S. Bache said: 81 returned
from the country and find tempest in
a teapot.
1--WE have agreed to give the COM
mittee what we would have given
them from the start and what we have
| constantly offered them if sought in
| the manner provided by law.
1--WE have submitted to them list
Of some 25,000 names now on our
books or at some time during the pc
riod in question, and when they have

these accounts will be submitted tc
them unless the owners Of such ac
counts shall file proper objections"
