Itnor funds will be appropriated for relief funds before night. The relief
committees are working day and night, arM many men and women engaged In
the work have not slejt since Sunday.
Sixty Mora Drowned.
In the. east bottorns'it la reported that 80 people were drowned from the
Crescent Hotel district fast right. The.se people were Belgians and refused to
!)ava their little homes, not believing that the waters would reach thVrn. I--st
evening their houses began to float and were carried down the swift current
to destruction. ,
Much trouble is occasioned by thieves who are organlsM Into pillaging
fMMids that overrun the city. The United States government "has decided to
end troops from Fort Leavenworth to guard against this horde of scoundrels.
rire Tlend reared.
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. The cur-
irent Is mild, however, so rescue work
Is easily done In skiffs. The estimates
today ehow that 40,0e are homeless.
(There Is no possible war of giving the
uot figures of the .deed.
. 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. There Is a gen
'Jfal erxodus of Inhabitants of the low

south side is increasing alarmingly.
Sixty cares of scarlet fever, measles

KANSAS C1TT, June J. At o'clock
' this morning the river registered $6

ST. LOUIS. Mo.. June . The situa

greater peril than ever before. From
Hannibal to here the river has become a
maddened monster, the rising waters

are coming in of families being shelter

to the hills.
The river at Hannibal Is three feet

been brought by Maegly In pursuance of
this contract, a decree was rendered de
claring the warrants Illegal and void
and enjoining the county from paying
them and the bank from collecting them.
This left in the hands of the bank war
rants to the amount of $4,063.75, regular
on their face and purchased in good
faith, but which the bank was enjoined
from presenting for payment
The truth of the foregoing state
ments by the bank Is not disputed by the
county. The new and Interesting fea
tures of the transaction are set forth
in the subsequent portions of the an
swer, which proceeds to recite that at
divers times during 1900 and the early
part of 101 VV. F. White, a warrant
broker, applied to the bank desiring to
purchase the warrants, the negotiations
covering about a year prior to the final
transaction with the county In June,
1901. Prior to June 1, 1901. in pur
suance of these negotiations, the - bank
contracted to "sell, transfer and deliv

thereon and substantially all of which
assessments were and are illegal and
void and without real value, but which
might be made to produce some re

said certificates of tax sales for the
aforesaid county warrants theretofore

said petition being the same petition
and containing the same matter set out
in plaintiff's complaint herein, but this
defendant denies that said petition so

still held the possession of and the legal
title to said warrants and as its name
was used for the benefit of its vendee.

today that a very disappointing vote
was cast for Hermann. From Marsn-

falling off of 28 per cent was tne
result of the elections yesterday.
In Curry County there was the light

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:

majority and Furnish IBS only last year,
but yesterday they were carried' by

HERMANN'S VICTORY

(Journal Special Service.)
SALEM, June 2. Almost complete re
turns from Marion County indicate
victory for the Hermann forces by
about 125 plurality over Reames, the
people's candidate a victory that Is in
reality a defeat, for Just one year ago
the late Thomas H. Tongue carried this
county by a plurality of 1.291 over
K. Weatherford, that prince of good
fellows, who is himself a popular and
influential Democrat and a solid citlsen
The election here was remarkably

whatever certificates were issued by the
County Court of Multnomah County in
exchange for the warrants aforesaid
were Issued and delivered to the de
fendant. 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

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. Mr.
Reames would have .been successful,
and Oregoh would not again be burdened
with Hermann In Congiess.

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. On the occasions of both vis
Its to the Market-street house, this man
said he was a photographer;"- t -
And that Is all that is known of this
man.
No one has yet ascertained the name
and address of the sister of Mrs. Ar
nold, from whom was procured the little
stranger now at St. Vincent's Hosprtsl.
Whether or not the rail mother will
wish her child to remain In an orphan
asylum can only be surmised.
