 WITH HEAD CRUSHED.

 Last Monday night Mrs. Goheen went to depot in company with a friend; this was at 9:30 o'clock, She was last seen at the depot two hours later. following the departure of the train. The next morning her hat was found on a lawn a few doors from where she lived She was an adver- tising solicitor on Nowata newspa- per, but when she did not appear for work the following it aroused no sus. picion of foul play.
 The body was found this afternoon lying on a knoll 200 yards from highway The head was beaten to a pulp. Large bloodstained rocks were scattered about the spot where the body lay Her poeketbook was un- touched, and there was no evidence of assault The soft earth showed evil dence of struggle, and footprints indicated that she had been accom- panied by two men. The imprint of her Shoe heels in the ground show that she was forcibly taken to the spot An inquest will be held tomor- row.
 Mrs. Goheen's husband is a travel ing man He last wrote to her from Pueblo, Colo, stating that his next ad- dress would be Hutchinson, Kas. She received this letter the day she dis appeared.

MINNESOTA RATE CASE.
Argument Is Being Made Before U, s.
 Supreme Court.

Washington, April f0.-In the Min nesota rate case argument before the supreme court today, Edward T. Young, special counsel for the state, declared that the railroads had ma nlpuIated their operating expenses during test year and that was one of the reasons lower court had held the Minnesota rates to be eonflsca- tory
 Chief Justice White asked repeat edly why that had not been brought to the attention of the lower court, adding he considered if it were true, it would deside the case.
 MT. Young declared the interest of every state and the federal govern ment itself demanded that the SUI preme court lay down some rule for arriving at the physical valuation of railroads He declared the valuation was not the cost Of reproduction.

tin parishes are inundated. The new crevasse, on the west bank of the river. at Atkins bayou, seven miles south of Melville, was several hun dred feet wide tonight and millions of gallons of water from the swollen stream are rushing through the breach.
 There is only slight possibility of the loss of life as the flood waters will stretch out over miles of marsh lands without a settlement in it's path nearer than 20 miles of the break, with the exception of Kretz Springs Much concern is felt tonight for the inhabitants of that place, village of perhaps 150 inhabitants, near the Frisco bridge. By tomorrow morning, however, the waters probably will have reached Port Barre, Sackett, Darbonne, Cortableau. Babbett, and withiR sight of Opelousas. The in, habitants of the smaller towns prob ably will be forced to abandon their homes and go to Opelousas, which is safe from any flood.
 There was very little live stock in the territory, which is fast flooding. and the property damage will not be great, except in the case of the rail- roads. It is altogether probable that large sections of the Colorado South ern and the Opelousas, Gulf and Northeastern railroad tracks will be either washed out or covered with wa ter.
 Warnings were sent broadcast to the fishing camps and to the little towns and settlements on the swamps outer edges and any persons caught in the path of the waters undoubtedly had all the time necessary to enable them to reach high ground
 President Gordy of the levee board of this district expressed the belief that the levee had been cut.

New Orleans Feels Safe.

New Orleans, La, April 10--With no change in the reading of the gauge during the past 12 hours. the Missis- sippi river at New Orleans was sa- tionary at ' o'clock tonight, registered 18.2 feet, two-tenths of foot above the flood stage. It is estimated the crest of the rise, which is about 300 miles above the city. will reach here the first of May, when it is predicted by the local weather bureau that something slightly over q feet will be registered. This will be about 8 foot higher than the rregiols nigh record in 1903.
 The Orleans levee board today be- gan the erecting of wash board pro tection along the leyee on the west , side of the river, below Algiers The boarding. which will run up abolt three feet from the crest of the levee. will extend for about 1000 feet. This precaution is being taken to prevent the wash caused by ocean.goinG yee- sells.
 A night and day patrol Is being maintained along the levees on both sides of the river to prevent any dep relations or interference with the drains which have been constructed along the land slide of the embank- ments to catch any seepage from the river.
 The engineers of the levee board made an inspection today of the en- tire river front They report to the board that there were no indications of serious developments. The New Orleans levees range from five to seven feet above the present stage of the river.

Better Feeling Prevails Among oper- ators and Miners--Arkansa Min CTS to Vote on Acceptance
 of the Schedule.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 10.--Pros- poets of peace with an early resump. ton of anthracite mining grew much brighter today after the miners and operators decided to confer. When negotiations were resumed here this afternoon. George F. Baer. president of the Reading company, proposed oIt behalf of the operators to let the anthracite coal strike commission, which settled the strike of 1902, to investigate present conditions and de- eide whether any modification of the commissions award is necessary.
 In the discussion that followed the miners practically threw this offer aside and the conference agreed final ly to appoint sub-committees to take up the demands of the miners with power to make recommendations for adjustments. The sub-committees inn mediately were appointed and after a brief joint session they adjourned un- til tomorrow afternoon.
 While the sub-committees are try ing to reach an agreement. there will be no conferences between the two general committees of the operators and miners.
 Aside from the offer to put the set clement of the differences up to the strike commission, neither side made proposition but the willingness with which they agreed to further discuss the demands is looked on as a good sign. It is expected concessions will he offered in the subcommittee ses- sions What these wd1I pe is msrs conjecture. Miners representatives said today they fully expected 1G per cent increase in wages. Aside from the wage demand. that for the recognition of the union appears to be the stumbling block.
 The offer to send the matter to the strike commission is held in abeyance and if the sub-committees cannot agree the proposition to call in the commission will be renewed. Today's conference broke up with all concern ed in a hopeful mood. The best feel ing prevailed while the opposing sides were together

DANGER ZONE

MISSISSIPPI AND LAulsIANA LEV FEES NOW BEARING 5RuNT OF
 BATTLE WITH FLOODS.
Break In Louisiana Floods St. Landry Parish-New Orleans Prepares for Supreme Struggle With
 the Torrent.

Vicksburg, Miss, April 10.-Tha Mississippi rivers angry torrent tenn porarily halted it's work of devastation today. Aside from continuance of the break in cut off embankment above Natchez, Miss, no further ere vases were reported along the threat ened stretches of dikes from Mem phis southward.
 Despite this temporary abatement of the damage caused by the torrents wild sweep down the valley, the crisis is not past.
 As the tide continues southward, many points between Baton Rouge, La, and Helena, Ark, must stand q terrific test. If they fail, then hun dreds of square miles in some of the worlds richest agricultural territory may be flooded, many bustling cities inundated and life threatened.
 As the rise of the flood continued from Arkansas City downward to- night, the stress on threatened em. bankments increased and anxiety grew among the myriads of workers toiling to reinforce the dikes. Army engineers declared they had under control the situation at Millers Bend, the dike guarding Greenville and the southern delta's fertile acres. This point was regarded as one of the most menaced in today's danger zone.
 The crest win not reach Greenyille for three days or more, If the rise continues gradual it is believed the dikes can be sufficiently strengthen ed to contain the flood.
 Portions of the country were flood ed north of Vicksburg today by back water and swamps where Colonel Roosevelt hunted several years ago, hundreds of bears and deer, gaunt from hunger, took to the highlands Pothunters have shot down scores or the starving animals.
 Reports from points south of Vicks. burg declared that except for the con tinuance of the crevasse at Giles Bend, the situation remains unchang ed. Government engineers tonight de- clare today's disturbance does not add to the danger. They expect to repair the dike tonight so that any chance of the rivers escaping a curve anu hurling itself across the country in straight course will be eliminated.
 Stories of the rescue of flood refu- gees in the area below Helena con tinned to reach here today Rescue parties, according to official reports, found hundreds of suffering persons marooned above the floods reach.
 The gauge here tonight at o'clock stood at 50.S feet, rise of two-tenths of foot in 12 hours. This is one tenth of foot less than the rise In the preceding 12 hours.

ROOSEVELT
 IS PLEASED
"WE KNOCKED FEM OUT IN ILL NoIS," SAYS THE COLONEL
 IN PENNSYLVANIA.
New York Endorses Taft but Does Not Tie egation-Roosevel Gets the Delegation from
 Maine.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 1O,-Across the state of Pennsylvania, from Pitts burg to Philadelphia, Colonel Roose- welt went campaigning today, making his appeal for support at the Satur- day primaries. It was the liveliest day of his campaign thus far. $n no other state in which he travelled since he began h:s right has he found the crowds so large and demonstra- tive.
 Wherever he spoke, Colonel Roose- welt asked the people to do on Satur- day what Illinois did yesterday.
 "We knocked them over the ropes in Illinois, he said, "and want to see them take the count in Pennsyl- vania"
 The colonel referred for the first time to his view upon the outcome of the fight
 If, as I believe we will," he said twin in this fight, I want you to re member our success must be made to turn for social and industrial jus. tice."
 After what I've seen yesterday and today" he said, "at another time, I believe that on Saturday Pennsylva- mia will do what Illinois did yester- day"
 In his address here tonight, Col onel Roosevelt made a detailed ex- position of the theories which he has lpropounded in regard to the courts He again directed severe criticism against Joseph Choate. John C. Mil bunr and the other New York lawyers, who have formed an association to combat his ideas. He said these men whom he termed as "embattled attor- neys for the defense of special privi- leges," in taking the position they do "nakedly champion vested wrong"
 These worthy gentlemen" he added, speak as if the judges were imposed on us by heaven and were responsible only to heaven
 Later Colonel Roosevelt brought in the name of President Taft He as- serted this country would not be a good place to live in, If we permit our government to be twisted away from it's original purposes and be- come government such as MT. Taft, Mir. Choate, MT. Lorimer, Mir. Mill burn, MT. Penrose, Mir Guggenheim and their allies wish to make it, a government by corporation attorneys on the bench and off the bench"
 When he reached Philadelphia a throng was waiting for him. Four hundred policemen lined the streets to keep back the crowds along the three squares from the station to the hotel The Metropolitan opera house in which he spoke tonight was filled an hour before the colonel arrived, and the street in front of the build ing was filled with jostling crowd.
 The last day of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign in Pennsylvania will be spent in the eastern part of the state. He expects to reach New York late tomorrow afternoon and go at once to Oyster Bay.
