St. Louis, June 2. A special to
the Post-Dispatch, from Keokuk,
Ia.i says: Six ' hundred square
miles of Rich farming land along
the Missouri south of here is un
der water.' . The Egyptian levee
broke during the night in two pla
ces, and there are now more than
twenty breaks in it. This levee
runs from the Mississippi at Alexan
dria to the Bluffs, and protects the
town and shore as far 'south as
Hannibal from overflow of the Das
Moines. A strip of country 10 wide
and 60 miles long is now under wa
ter, and the crops, which never
looked better, will be a total : loss.
Much of the land overflowed has
not' been flooded for 33 years. The
loea will reach: $1,000,000.
The town of Alexandria, la., six
miles south of Keokuk, is entirely
submerged, and the people are" liv
ing in the second stories or making
preparations to move.
A strip 300 feet long and 25 feet
wide along the river front is the
only land in the town that is not
flooded. This is covered with cat
tle, horses, hogs and people, -with
their household belongings, and
the problem of transporting them is
is a serious one. Grave fears are
entertained' for the safety of the
Hunt levee, which protects the bot
toms from Warsaw io Qnincy, on
the Illinois side. Men are at werk
on it, and it can stand a'few more
inches of rise. , The loss of live
stock will prove very heavy.
St. Louis, June 2 The . Missis
sippi river has risen to 30 feet, the
danger line, at St. Louis and con
tinues to rise more than two feet a
day. Indications are that the 34
foot stage at St. Louis, predicted by
the civil service bureau, Thursday
or Friday morning, will be. exceed
ed. A 34-foot stage at St. Louis
means immense loss. Already
thousands of acres of land, the most
productive in the Middle West, on
the Missouri and Illinois sides, are
under water. Hundreds of thous
ands have been lost, to Illinois and
Missouri farmers through ruined
crops. In a half-dozen, places ; be
tween Alton and St. Louis, the riv
er, with its lagoons and bayous, : is
from fiye to seven miles . wide. At
St. Charles, Mo., the water has
spread out over three miles of coun
try, covering farms and driving out
families from their homes.
Hannibal, Mo., June 2. The
Mississippi tonight is six feet above
the danger line. Thousands of
acres of fertile farm . lands about
this eity are devastated, causing a
loas estimated at not less than
$100,000. The town of Shepherd,
111., is depopulated, and its resi
dents were driven away by the
flood.
Kansas City, June 2. At 2 o'
clock this afternoon the situation
is the gravest that can be imagined.
The day is cold and a drizzling rain
is falling to add to the misery of
the BituatiorjTCS?
The river is still rising slowly
and in the flooded districts the wa
ters are mad raging torrents. Boats
are unable to reach the hundreds
of imprisoned people who have
since yesterday been signaling dis
tress from house tops and from the
windows of buildings which have
become the temporary places of re
treat.
Women and .children are suffer
ing terribly in many instances.
Scanty apparel, lack of food . and
the hopelessness of realizing 'that
everything they possessed has been
swept away by the floods, adds to
their sufferings. Strong men are
breaking down under the strain,
and it is reported that three sui
cides have occurred today. Anoth
er special meeting of the city coun
cil will be held this - morning and
more funds will be appropriated for
relief funds before night, v The . re
lief committees are working day
and night, and many men and wo
men engaged in the work have not
slept since Sunday.
In the east bottoms it is reported
that 60 people were drowned from
the Crescent Hotel district last
night. : These people were Belgians
and refused to leave their little
homes, "uot believing the waters
would reach them. Last evening
their houses began to float and were
carried down the swift current to
destruction.
Much trouble is occasioned by
thieves who are organized into pil
laging bands that overrun the city.
The United States government has
decided to send troops from Fort
Leavenworth to guard against this
horde of scoundrels.
It is feared that fire will break
out in the city, which, should it
happen, a dire calamity would be
the result, as the city is without
water and in darkness as well. A
rather high wind sprang up at noon
today, but, providentially, subsided
before 2 o'clock. .
There is ereat dansrer nf a. fnnrl
famine, as there is not a sufficient
supply on nana to administer to
the absolute wants nf tha rofnonnn.
The number of dead cannot be esti
mated at the present time, but the
figures given out yesterday will not
oover the mortality occaeioned by
the fearful conditions of the last
two days.
' Tnet loBa of manerfcw will he at
least $50,009,000 and in all prob
ability will amount much higher.
Gainesville, Ga., June 2. The
6090 inhabitants of this city iiave
tonight just begun to realize the ex
tent of the appalling disaster of
yesterday. It no?f seems that the
death list will not be much short
of 100, perhaps somewhat over 100;
a considerable number of danger
ously wounded, whose chances for
recovery cannot be calculated.
Figuring, from an available
source, and giving credence only to
thoee reports which are believed to
be trustworthy, the following is , a
summary of the effects of the torna
do in Gainesville and its suburbs:
" One hundred killed, 150 injured,
of whom 2o will die; 8oo homeless,
their residences having been wiped
out of existence; property . loss of
about $5oo,ooo, none of which is
covered by storm insurance.
The death list so far compiled in
cludes 32 at the Pacelet cotton mills
at New Holland, all of whom were
killed in the demolition of the com
pany's cottages, and 36 at the
Gainesville cotton mills, near the
Southern Railway station, . where
the tornado first struck.
Vancouver, June 2. Vera Hew-
ton, the 3 -year-old daughter of A.
Hewton of this city, was nearly
killed in an encounter with a fero
rocious Leghorn rooster. The child
was running : across a vacant lot
near her home when she was attack
ed by the fowl. He was a monster
of his kind, standing more than two
feet high. " ? -
The child's mother heard her
scream, and when the woman . ran
to the rescue, the child had fallen
and the rooster was inflicting se
vere wounds on the youngster's
head and shoulders. .It was half
an hour before the child recovered
consciousness. The holes were cut
entirely through her cheek, making
it necessary to take five stitches to
close the wounds. A policeman shot
the rooster. ' -. '
Dixie. Wash., June 2. A strio
of Country, a mile wide and several
miles long, at the base, of a ranee
of hills a few miles south of Dixie,
wai visited by a violent hail storm
Sunday night that wrought havoc
on the farms of H. D. Eldridge, D.
J. Kelly and Orlando Damaris.
Hailstones the size of partridge
eggs covered the ground to a depth
of three feet. Yesterday morning
the hailstones were stacked three
feet high along the demolished rail
fences. The fences were battered
down, and will have to be rebuilt.
Strawberry vines were beaten into
the ground and entirely ruined;
cherries were knocked off the trees,
and the alfalfa and wheat fields
look as if they had been trampled
by herds of cattle.
The rain, which accompanied the
hail fell in torrents, . Fearing' that
a cloudburst had occurred Mr, El
dridge prepared to take his : family
and flee to the hills near by.
Mr. Eldridge's loss' will amount
to $ 500. In addition to crop dam
ages a number of bead of hogs were
drowned. The storm was a phe
nomenon. The noise was heard
four miles a way by Andy Tash, a
rancher.

Portland June, 4. 'They tell
me I am to be arrested. Well herea
lam!"
Dressed in the height of fashion,
with her beautiful auburn locks
artfully coiled; about her shapely
head, and with a smile upon heir
dainty rosebud lips, Miss Marie
Ware entered the office of Deputy
United States Marshal Pres Wortn
ington exactly at noon today.
With the above remark the band
some young woman greeted tbe offi
cer as he advanced to meet her with,
the warrant in his hand. Forgery
and conspiracy is the charge.
Within 1 0 minutes from th
diBg, Miss -Ware had been takes
into custody, had listened to th
charges against her. had heard tha
date of her hearing, had given
bonds and gone . forth free. Her
brief stay with the authorities waer
more in the nature of a society calL .
than an arrest.
Miss Ware is charged with,
forgery and fraud in connection
with land swindles, alleged to have
been perpetrated by Horace G Mo
Kinley, S. A. D. Puther and other
j ; . 1 . . 1 1
uuriug too nine mat sue was an
incumbent of the office . of United ,
States Land Commissioner y at
Eugene.
- The fact that Miss Ware was dis
missed from office, that her alleged
irregularities are said to have oc
curred while she was subject to the
antrinrl tv rt TTnitd Rtafaa T.anti
Commissioner Binger Hermann
who was also forciably removed,
combined with the fact that she
was not taken into custody until
the votes for Mr. Hermann bad
been counted is causing consider
able comment.
United States District Attorney
Hall, in whose hands the prosecu
tion rest, admits that he has held
authority for tbe arrest of, Misa
Ware and three others for some
time.
Although it has been known for
months that arrests were likely to
follow the dismssal of Mies War
from the office of Comncisnonerand
although Deputy District Attorney
Mays positively stated more t nan a
week ago that a warrant for Miss
Ware's arrest would be issued tha

toward bringing the alleged cul
prits to justice was taken late yes-
terday afternoon, when Horace G,
was arrested in this city. It is un-
derstood that it was not the origi
nal intention af Mr. Hall to bring
about the arrests so soon, but a
rumor, that Mr. McKinley .was;
contemplating an Eustern trip pre
cipitated his action.
Friday June 19th is the day set
for the preliminary hearing of Mc
Kinley and Mias Ware, at . which,
time O'Day & Tarpley will appear
as connsel for the defense. The
line of evidence to be followed by
the defendents has not yet been
made known.
"I have nothing to say further
than that I am entirely innocent of
any wrong-doing," said Miss Ware,
sweetly, when seen" after having
been arrested and released. "I do
not care to make any statement to
the press. I have no fear of tha
outcome,
A. R. Green special inspector in
the employ of the Department of
the Interior, and the man who has
collected much . of the evidence
said to have been accumulated by
prosecution, today said that it was
impossible to estimate in money
the extent of land frauds that have
been going on almost uninterrup
tedly for years. Further than to
say that unless it had been felt
that sufficient evidence had been
secured to make the prosecution
reasonably certain of the grounds
upon which it stood there would
have been no arrests, Mr. Greer
declined to be interviewed.
