It Is feared that fir will break out In the city, which, should It happen, a dire, calamity would be the result, as the eitv is without water and In darkness well. A rather high wind sprang up at noon today, but. Providentially, subsided before 2 o'clock. There Is great danger of a food famine, as thtre Is not a sufficient supply on hand to admlnlHter to the absolute wants of the refugees. The number Of dead cannot be estimated at the present time, but the fig ures given out yesterday will not cover the mortality occasioned by the fear-' ful conditions of the last three days. The loss of property will be at least $50,000,000, and In all probability will tnount much higher. KANSAS CITY. June 2 The relief fund this morning stands at nearly '$50,000. No fires were reported last (night and 1.300 officers are patrollng the streets as guardsmen against thieves, and they are .still enforcing the danger lines. Sheffield, a monu- ffacturing suburb east of the city, Is experiencing Its worst taste of the flood today. The back water has ren dered 100 families homeless.

LAWRENCE. Kan.. June J. The IXaw River continues to fall and Is now 14 Inches below the highest mark retched yesterday. One hundred men rare still Imprisoned on the Island In Worth Lawrence but are safe. Reports from up the river tell o heavy rains all night and from several stations the river is reported rising slowly. These reports give serious cause for alarm, as own a slight rise above here is likely to mean worse damage than has yet occurred when the accumulated waters reach this point. A boatman succeeded In crossing the river from the hills back of Argentine this morning. He came back and says refugees there are comparatively well cared for. They took charge of the cars of dressed meat consigned to Armour, which were distributed. They were felling shade trees for fuel. VT- 'BT. LOTJI8. June I.

From Eugene came the (jispatcn today that a very disappointing vote was cast for Hermann. From Marsn- fleld. Coos County, came the report that falling off of 28 per cent was tne result of the elections yesterday. In Curry County there was the light est vote cast In years, and a very small Hermann vote was the result Hlllsboro. over in Washington County, reports that a very light vote was polled and that many Republicans refused to go to the polls because they did not care to vote for Hermann. In Benton County the vote fell off II Der cent, and a dispatch from Corvallls states that although Hermann received a plurality, his managers were disgusted that he carried it so poorly. Linn County polled only half of its vote, and by doing so gave Hermann about 40 per cent of what was expected. Yamhill County, although in a state of more or less uncertainty, will prob ably go - for- Reomes. notwithstanding the claims made by the Hermann push prior to yesterday.

HERMANN FALLS DOWN COMPLETELY (Journal Special Service.) OREGON CITY. June 2 After having given the Republicans the strongest majority for Furnish of all of the coun ties over the state, Clackamas will prob ably be tbe banner county again, but this time the vote will be for A. E. Reames. The Democrats polled a good percentage of their votes, the Republi cans fell short and the Prohibition and Socialists gained votes over their for mer, elections. Many Republicans voted for ReTlmes, while other members of the same faith remained at home. Clacka mas Is an Immense surprise to the most enthusiastic admirers of Mr. Reames. It was felt certain that he Would win. but In winning by over 340 votes he has done memorably well. .The Republican leaders are. to put it mildly, not pleased and are at a loss to account for this behavior of this formerly Republican party. - From statements made by resi dents of different precincts ft Is cer tain that Mr. Reames can give a part of the credit of his big victory In this county to The Journal. It Is noticeable that the precincts reached by The Jour nal have given Reames a good majority. The vote for Reames and Hermann, as received from the following precincts, Is: Precincts Reames.

W. F. White, and received and retained by him to .his own use, and this defendant at no time had posses sion of. ownership In or control over said certificates of tax sales or any of them. The banlf further avers that the action of the County Court In recently setting aside the order of June 6, 1901, whereby the exchange of warrants for tax certificates was effected, was illegal, being beyond the Court's Jurisdiction and authority. The bank denies that It ever received anything from the sale or disposition of the tax certificates turned over to White, and denies that It 'has any knowledge of the disposition made of the certificates by White. The state ments in the county's complaints that the warrants were worthless and that the tax certificates were worth their face value is denied. In conclusion, the answer reiterates the assertion that the bank had an equitable and moral claim against the county by reason of its ownership of the warrants, which were regularly Is sued by the County Clerk, upon the order of the County Court, accepted by the County Treasurer, and purchased by the bank, for full value and without notice of any defect or irregularity. The moral andk equitable . claim which the bank thus acquired against "the county wi s a sufficient consideration, It is alleged, for the- order of the'County rtiurt on June . 1901. directing the ex change of the warrants for tax certifi cates. The answer is signed by Dolph. Mal lory, Simon and Oearin. as attorneys for the bank, and fsr verified In the1 usual manner by the -affidavit of the presi dent, of the bank, A. L.. 11 Ills, who de clares under oath that the facts stated In the answer are true.. -. , . v the result in "Old Marlon In the four precincts in this city Her mann had a plurality over Reames of only 60. and in the 10 ,Salem precincts of only 63, while Mr. Tongue, last year, carried the city proper by 688 to 805 for Weatherford. and the 10 Salem pre cincts by 1.239 to Weatherford's 670, It was in the country precincts where Hermann found his strength, Aurora coming "up with its. usual Republican majority, the vote standing 71 to- 11 in favor of Hermann. In the northern part or tne county Keames ran aneaa or ills opponent almost everywhere, except In -Aurora, butl n the balance of the.county the Republican nominee secured a little better support, and the result Is that he was successful in saving this county. Complete returns may change the fig ures a little, but - Hermann's plurality will not be far frOm 125 to 130. . The Socialist candidate found his stronghold in Anns-vllle, where he se cured 28 votes, to Hermann's 39, and Reames' 24. County Chairman W. H. Downing stated that he was well pleased with the results In Marion County, and as serted that if the balance of the coun ties In the district had done as well in cutting down. the Republican vote.

VANISHING BABE HAS BEEN Ei Oil) journal Locates the Denver In fant in St. Vincent's Hospital, But Mrs, Arnold Has Entire ly Disappeared. Mysterious Man Wno Was In terested in the Case-an d Who Gave Two Accounts of Him self, Has Also Faded Away. "Time has certainly doalt kindly with Mrs. Blowgirl. She's still good look ing," remarked Mrs. Ooodfriend. - "Of course. She never dealt harshly with him grabbing him by the fore lock, or anything like that." replied Miss Aeide Chicago Tribune. - : A The vanishing babe has bePnvfound! This morning, after a search of 24 hours, The' Journal located the little actor In the Arnold drama. The Infant is safe and sound at St.. Vincent's Hos pital, and doing very well. The mile one was taken to. the Insti tution Sunday night last. The mystery surrounding this most peculiar case an attempt to regain a deserting hus band by means of a dummy babe has by no means been solved. The babe has been found, 'but the woman who had prepared to represent herself as the mother has disappeared as effectually as did the Infant yesterday. when Mrs. Arnold, as she was known at the Market-street house, ran out of he police station yesterday morning all trace of the woman was lost, save in one instance. Where she went, where she is now, are matters of mystery. Some of those who- were brouarht into contact with MrsV Arnold during her spectacular sojourn In this city express the fear that she has committed sui cide, having failed In the 'attempt to foist -her sister's infant on her husband as his own child. These persons declare that the woman has shown every evi dence of being mentally unsound, and that more than once she has expressed the determination to end her life. When she left the police station while the back of the Chief of Police was turned she went down Second street. Further than this no one has been found who oan tell of her flight or its end. Only once did she appear to any one who had known her before, and that was yesterday afternoon, when she en tered the office of Dr. Elsen. She tame, she said, to secure the package of In fant's clothing that she had left there the night before. To this the physician made no ob.lect.lon, and without any fur ther conversation the woman left. A Kaa of Mystery. Flitting through this story of a wife's fantastic effort to bring about the re turn of her absent husband, . Is " the shadow of "a fnih of mystery. This Individual, whose connection with the case is not at all clear, has never theless displayed a remarkable interest In Mrs. Arnold. He has told two widely varying stories concerning himself, on neither occasion going Into details. " He appeared rather to be desirous pf gain ing Information, i' . , . ' To Dr.' Elsen this man, appeared on the day' that the police interested themselves In the vanishing babe. Ho toldf the doc tor that the husband ' pf Mr Arnold formerly worked for. him; that -he was a painter! that the husband hart been forced to leave h'ls wife because the lat ter was of unsound mind and might Kill him. Dr. Elsen expressed the belief that his visitor was the busbandi So 'far, however, there Is nothing to substan tiate this theory. On two occasions this dime Individual called on the landlady of the lodging house at 205 Market street, where Mrs. Arnold rlutfr dtrrtng the week ending yesterday afternoon. He ssld that 'he at one time knew M-rs. Arnold's husband and that the landlady could collect from him any money that might due If the lodger fulled to pay. Yesterday, while the landlady was having ah altercation with Mrs. Arnold,, which led to the lat ter's leaving, the same mystortous Indi vidual called again. He prtld the balancs due on Mrs. Arnold's bill and the worhan was permitted to go. taking her trunk with her.
