the emperor of Austria and the Sui
tan of Turkey. To make this jos
sible the American embassy has in
creased its normal business ten fold.

fell on three before the war. 1t has
engaged a corps of expert accountants
and clerks who respectively keep tab
on the manifold disbursements and file
away hundreds of documents a day.
The money thus spent for England's
enemies during the war will be re
paid to Uncle Sam when hostilities
cease, IN the meantime Uncle Sans

Flood of Water.
fCenteryille Outlook

tO6DlGENlllG OutlOOh.J ,.
An almost steady doWn-pour OF
rain for the past 70 hours raised the
water in Black River and adjacent
streams to an almost unprecedented
height last night, and this Friday
morning, doing untold damage to
farms and growing crops and resulting
in the drowning of much live stock
throughout the county.
At Centerville the water coming
down out of the GAINESVILLE and
Brooks hollows practically flooded the
town and about so people took refuge
in the Court House, about IL O'Clock
at night, not knowing at what time
their homes might be undermined by
the madly rushing waters. Logs.
rails and drifts hoated down main
street and the water in the court
house yard was knee deep in many
places. The streets are nearly ruined,
great bitches and holes being washed
out in many places that it will require
hundreds of loads of rock and dirt to
fill.
Meager reports from the Iron Noun
tain and Missouri Southern Railroads
say that the tracks have been SO badly
damaged and washed away that il
will require several days to get the
roads in shape before they can again
operate trains.
The public roads throughout the
county are almost totally ruined, ant
it will take several days to get then
in condition for even temporary pas
sage for wagons.
1t is reported that Ellington wal
badly overlooked, but we have beer
unable to learn the extent of the
damage done.
Taking everything into considera'
ton we are certain, from the informa'
ton already at hand, that it is thu
most destructive food that has eve
visited this section of the State.

JACKSON Cash-Book: THE Repub-
lican paper Gin the ape is congratulate
ing itself because it thinks it has
found one honest Democrat, the editor
of a Democratic paper. This editor
criticises a little the Attorney-Gen-
erals opinion rendered in regard to
State revenue derived from certain
sources of taxation. The Attorney
General says the revenue from oil in
spection, etc., cannot be drawn from
in support Of the public schools. The
Republican press of the State, always
without any real issue in Missouri, de-
ponds upon its ability to misrepresent
and mislead the voters in regard to
matters of minor importance. The
Cape paper, parroting other ADLER
Republican sheets, is trying to make
capital for its party out of this opinion
by the Attorney General in regard to
certain revenue. 1t would have the
public think that the Democratic
party is trying to rob the schools of
some Of the money they ara entitled
to. Attorney General Barker simply
gave it as his opinion that certain
state revenue derived from a special
kind Of taxation a not properly be
classified with the general fund from
which school moneys r distributed
to the county schools. Auditor Cor
don, as it is his duty to do, is with
holding this money pending a decision
by the Supreme Court on the At
torney- GENERALS construction Of the
law. That is all there is to this Re-
publican bugaboo about the DEM
ocratic aflcials at Jefferson City try
ing to cheat The schools out OF money.
