Appleton.-The flood waters of the
Wolf and Embarrass rivers. from
the recent heavy rains in Shawano,
Oconto and Landglade counties, have
reached New London and the Wolf
river raised over two feet in twenty
four hours, while the Embarrass riv-
er at New London came up about
fourteen inches in the same length
of time.
Part of the city of New London is
under from one to three feet of wa
ter, the residents being compelled
to move to the second floor of their
homes and to use boats as the only
means of getting away from their
homes.
The water is running about two
feet deep over the floors of over 100
houses and many are moving out in
boats to the higher ground on the
south side of the river.
Hundreds of farmers in the low
lands in the northern part of Outa-
gamie and in Shawano and Waupaca

Thousands of acres of cabbage and
potatoes are under several feet of

The food waters will not reach

PASS SUGAR BILL
SENATE ADOPTS MEASURE THAT
WILL REDUCE TARIFF DUTY
ON COMMODITY.
SAVE CONSUMERS 100000 900
Would Cut Revenue $500, Oo0-As
Adopted Is a Compromise Between
the Lodge Plan and That Advo-
Gated by Senator Bristow.

Washington, July 30.-The first
purely Republican revision measure of
the present congress, a Republican
sugar tariff bill, was passed in the
senate Saturday night.
The sugar bill was a compromise
between the Lodge plan, Endorsed by
the regular Republicans, and the Bris-
tow bill, behind which the progress
sives lined up. 1t would cut the pres
ent sugar duty of $190 to $1.60; would
abolish the Dutch standard, under
which practically no refined sugar can
be imported, and would abolish the
71s cent "refiners' difterential,' an ad-
ditional duty on refined sugar, which,
it is claimed, has accrued directly to
the profit OF the sugar refiners.
1t is estimated that the sugar tariff
reduction, If it becomes effective, will
reduce government customs receipts
about $5,500,000, while it's saving in
the retail sugar bill of the nation is
estimated at $20,000,000.
The Democratic free sugar bill
passed by the house did not come to
vote In the senate. The BristowLodge
amendment was first adopted in the
committee of the whole by a vote of
81 to %. Senators Thornton and Fos-
ter of Louisiana, Democrats, voting
with the Republicans.
The senate Democrats then offered
their substitute for the house bill, pro-
posing a one-third reduction in the
existing sugar tariff. This was de-
feated, SO to "a, the Republican regu-
lars and progressives holding to their
agreement. The Bristow-Lodge bill
finally passed the senate with all but
two Democrats voting for 1t. The final
vote was SO to 8, the negative votes
being cast by Senators Hepburn, Re
publican, and Foster and Thornton,
Democrats.
The senate bill would reduce the
duty on Cuban sugar, which comes in
under the reciprocity treaty at $1.34,
to about $120 per hundred pounds.
The maximum reduction of duty on
all refined sugar is three-tenths of a
cent pound.
Washington, July 29,-By a vote of
7 to rs, the senate In its considera-
ton of the excise bill repealed the
reciprocity law in It's entirely and
levied duty of two dollars ton on
print paper here Friday night.

TAFT MAKES REPLY
STATEMENT ISSUEn FROM WHITE
HOUSE DEFENDING :loM-
NATION.
Declares That After Examination of
Facts Committees Decisions Were
Right in Every instance.

Washington, jury 30.-The long e,-
pected and carefully prepared answer
OF the Taft faction to the reiterated
charges that the president stole the
nomination at Chicago" was issued
from the White House Sunday. 1t is
the longest and probably the most
complete political statement ever put
out from the executive mansion.
AN examination of the facts" cor
cludes the statement, shows that the
tribunals were right in every instance.
There is not the slightest evidence
that they were moved by other than
a mere desire to reach a right concllE
sion. On the other hand, the action
of the Roosevelt men In bringing 100
contests that they promptly aban-
doned strongly tended to show the
lack of good faith In the prosecution
of all of them. Those who support
President Taft can well afford to
stand on the record in these cases"

HER KISS A LINGERING ONE
imprinted by Bernhardt on the Hand
of Little Girl, 1t Wouldn't
Come Off.

A London lady who returned from
Europe a few months ago tells pretty
story that concerns Sarah Bernhard
and two little giriE, the daughters of
Doctor Bull, the famous Paris oculist,
who is Canadian.
Bernhard at the time was playing
version of the Sleeping Beauty"
and wanted large doll to use as
baby In the play. In all Paris. how
ever, she found it impossible to secure
one that looked natural. The two lit
tie daughters of Doctor Bull were play
ing in one of the public gardens one
day and had with them very large
and beautiful doll which had been sent
them from America. The great actress
happened to pass by where the chill
dren We're at play and at once noticed
their big doll. She dismounted from
her carriage and came toward them.
"Oh, children" she said, that is
just the dolly want. Will you lend
1t to me for my play?'
IF mamma will let us we will lend
1t to you said the elder Of the two
little maids
Madame Bernhard inquired of their
nurse who the children were and on
being informed, took them all up in
her carriage and drove to Doctor Bulls
home. Mrs. Bull, of course, was de-
Lighted to be of service to the actress
and the children's doll appeared in all
the future performances. A day or so
after the little incident tickets for a
box for the performance arrived for
the children. They attended, and be-
tween the acts the little girls were ia
ken behind the scenes to meet their
new friend
"And now ell the lady what the
great actress did when you went be-
hind" said Mrs. Bull to the elder OF
the little ones when the incident was
being related
Well, you know" said the child
with great earnestness, she stopped
down and kissed my hand, and the kiss
would not come off and my mother
had to wash it off"
