ELECTION PET PAID

DOUGLAS. Nov. 2S. - The $l,OOO
 which was placed in the hands of IF. J. Casey of the First Territorial Bank. ag wager money on Wilson and HugLes. $500 being put up by Dan Harding on Wilson and $500 by Eric Barquist on Hughes. was paid by Casey to Harding uis morning, the former taking the latter's receipt for the same. Barquist had served notice on the bank not to pay the money over, but as the bank was not interested in the matter. Casey holding the stakes as an individual, he turned them over to Harding in compliance with the terms of the wager. Had the result of the cleo tion been different. there is no doubt that BarQuist would have insisted that the terms of the wager being carried out the same as did Harding. The moral to this is that 1t is not recherche to bet on Republican can. didates when-well when there is no show for their election. when the very air is laden with the essence of Democratic victory and when the general trend of events seems to be toward the three WIS, WisOnism and water wagons.

MUscATINE CITIZENS WORKING
NIGHT AND DAY TO HOLD
BACK WATERS.
FAIL TO PREVENT F- ~ e..
BREAKS IN LEvEEs
Lower Part Of City Under Water Sub
merged and Back Waters Threaten
Vast Territory-River Still Rising
But Slowly-Greatest Flood in Twen-
ty-Five Years.

Muscatine, May 6.-Yielding before
the swollen Mississippi river which Il
now on the greatest rampage in the
long history Of the big stream, more
breaks in the Muscatine Island levee
! occurred during the night. resulting in
| the inundation of miles of land. To-day
; the Mississippi claims just title to the
Father Of Waters" having assumed
gigantic proportions not witnessed in
a quarter Of a century.
! Backing up toward South Muscatine,
the southern portion of the city is
menaced by a new danger which is
hourly becoming more acute as the
flood waters increase. Fear is now
entertained that some portions Of the
! levee within the city limits will not
hold, which will see most Of the south
end under water.
River Still Rises.
Altho the river raised but two inches
during the past twenty four hours, &C
cording to Water Works Superinteno-
ent Molis, a stage of eighteen feet is
still expected. The stage was 17g6 feet,
the highest in Muscatine's history ex-
cept the memorable food Of 1892.
In the opinion of the water works
superintendent, fall of approximately
TWO inches resulted locally by reason
of the breaking Of the !evees on Nus
catine Island. The widening of the
flood waters there and the placing of
many miles Of land under water tended
20 have an effect on the river here.
Despite the fact that the river rose bu:
two inches locally, it is believed that
the rise would be faster last night be-
cause the flooded waters are expected
to find the level during the day.
More Breaks Occur.
Three serious breaks are now re-
ported 10 have occurred in the Mus
catine Island levee. The third breach
occurred late Thursday about hall
mile below the Parker Landing. The
other breaks occurred near the Sand
Mound" and between the old Walton
and Beatty homesteads.
During the night the swollen stream
rapidly encroaching upon the land 90
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Q. Beatty
on the island, indicating the serious
ness Of the situation and the wide-
spread effect of the food
That the waters may even go so high
az to enter the Beatty home is feared
now. according to Mrs. Beatty yes
terday morning. The homestead IS now
virtually surrounded by water. The
barns and farm buildings already con-
tain water.
The Elliott road. the principal high
way leading to the sHopewel! district,
is entirely cut off, the water stand
ing several feet on some portions Of
the road.
With the rising water still going up.
a dam has been thrown around the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Beatty. This
has been done in orde:- to protect the
dwelling. However, grave fear was
expressed that even this will not pre-
vent the food from entering the home.
Fight For Railroad.
Nearly 200 men and more than fifty
teams staged a valiant battle to save
the Rock Island railroad bridge at the
Eight Mile bridge during the night and
to protect the residents in that local.

GATHERED BY THE WAYSIDE

J, the crowd called for excoriation of
| Roosevelt, tho 1t was not q part Of the
pilgrimage to engage in such matters
and for the most part we kept to our
| text, But In the matter Of Wilson
against Roosevelt, 1.-THE result Is not
open to reasonable doubt Wilson will
be reelected by increased majorities.
The name Of Justice Hughes did not
| come into our discussions, properly, as
think. But In private hundreds Of
people Of the most influential and con-
sentative class expressed the hope that
he would be nominated and it is my
belief that If he Is nominated he will
be elected. But even then Wilson's
strength should not be under estimated.
The moment you get out of the super
heated atmosphere where there are
vast sums of money being made by the
manufacture Of munitions you strike
the American mind which does not
want war, and more than that does not
want to launch out on vast military
program of ornaments"
"All along the line" DR.. Berle con-
cluded, there were mutterings about q
new party. In fact before we left New
York this talk began. Men like Ru-
dolph Spretkels were especially strong
in urging this. Personally ! am not
strong for third parties and suppose
I was the reactionary of our group.
But this may be set down for reflec-
ton that the Ford vote in Michigan
was not an accident. It represents
the sober attitude of the middle west.
The party that in June adopts the
strongest so-called preparedness plank
will lose hundreds of thousands of
votes The artificial character Of the
propaganda Is becoming evident and
understood. I believe the motto Of the
people. to be Millions for defense but
not cent for the war makers The
so -called pacifist vote is likely to be
decisive in the next election. OF course
If the candidate Of the republicans
should be Roosevelt there would be no
need for further discussion. The other
man would be elected
