ried away and railroads are washed out.
At Arrow Rock, 100 miles south of here,
several houses were washed away. 1. The
family of Peter Embry, numbering five,
are missings and it is believed all are
drowned. James Galvin, a railroad
boss, was drowned last night. : Seavy
rain has been falling all over the Mis
souri . valley for the last twenty -four
hours, and shows no sign of cessation..
The Missouri river is nearly a foot above
the danger line. Owing to a rain storm,
amounting almost to a deluge, yesterday
on the river above, it is expected that
the water will continue to rise-for some
time. ' Harlem a smalt tow across the
river, ia flooded, but its inhabitants are
all prepared. - Many establishments in
Kansas City are flooded, and " were
obliged to suspend - business. In Law
rence, a heavy rain has been' falling for
the past twenty-four, hours. ;. The Kaw
river continues to rise, and the city is
almost flooded.;' The water' is too high
to ran water wheels, and the factories
are-shut -.down. -The? Union' Pacific
freight depot ia in danger of being un

Wichita, Kan., May 13. The forma
tion of three tonadoes struck here About
G o'clock this evening. Two- were -about
six miles south and another about the
same, distance' northeast. A dispatch
from Augusta, .Butler county,, says a
northeastern twister struck: there about
6 o'clock, demolishing fifteen houses and
wrecking the. Santa Fe stockpens. Wi
S. Els worth had a leg broken and Frank
Marsh was slightly injured. Nearly, all
the people in town- saw the storm ap
proaching and sought safety . in cyclone
caves, which it is : thought prevented
great loss of life.
. The telegraph wires are down and the
details are unobtainable. Towanda, a
few miles . north of Augusta, was also
visited by a; tornado ' and half a dozen
houses were demolished. ' Towanda was
totally wiped from the face of the earth
by a cyclone in March, and a number of
people were killed and injured. Citi

'. Omaha, May 13.--The, Missouri river
is ten feet above low-water mark and is
rising rapidly. .It has cut away a hun
dred acres on the west bank above ; the
city. It is within fifty feet ' of Florence
lake, and if it should rise "another foot
it would break into, the old channel and
sweep Idown through; to ' Omaha, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars "damage
will be done, r It would leave the manu
facturing suburbs of Omaha on an island.
At Independence much "valuable farm
ing land is under water, and 1 all: chance
to raise a crop this year has gone. The
river is changing its-course to the south.
Last night a trip over half a mile long
was taken off. ' ' :

Boettcher,ojhi8 city, committed -suicide
this morning ' by shooting himself
through, the breast .with an old army
musket.. -.lie was ; 72 years old. Some
weeks ago he" sold farm for $3,000, and
since then had carried the money in
gold about his person. - Every night he
would retire to his . room, . and , spend
hours counting his money-. '- - i -.
v Finally he became so avaricious and
so-afraid of his" wealth being stolen that
he would not associate with the members
of the family, and kept to himself day
and night." ; Bcettcher learned today that
coal had been discovered on the farm he
had sold, and that it was now. valued at
$10,000.-.- He became frenzied at the
news and the thought of his .lost oppor
tunity of being rich," and finally shot
himself. His $3,000 was found on his
body; ' ' ":-':-- - '-- -:. -- -' -. .
Col; John McCraken ,ltewartel.'
- Poktland, May 14. The treasnry de-.
partinent has" accepted the offer of, Col.
John McCraken, - and will take his block
at $160,000 as the site for the new custom
house building in this city. ' Other bids
were far below, him, and the gift of a fi ne
site in. Albina, tendered by J. B. Mont
gomery, w"as rejected. T Col. McCraken
purchased the block which he so'd to the
government from Burnside & Ripley for
a mere trifle in 1857; The deed to the
property! is dated November 12, 1857;
The surrounding country was then a
wilderness. - The block was as far , dis
tant from town as some of the present
suburbs, and many thought that Col.
McCraken's speculation was not a . wise
one.r. At that time the block was covered
wfth pine trees and brush. Col. Mc
Craken .kept the property,, however,
and It steadily increased in valno. Burn
Aide & Ripley, who. sold . the . block to
Col. McCraken purchased it from Capt.
John II. Couch. ' - '- . - '
- In ; 1872 Col. - McCraken ' obtained a
deed to the property from Capt. George
H. ."Flanders -and wife, and the other
heirs of John H. Couch. The deed was
written on a large double sheet 'of fools
cap paper,' and is as al most ; n nmerously
signed as a free-bridge petition.. In
1860, Col. McCraken's present residence
was built in the center of the block, and
he has lived there ever, since. -.-In 1880.
he built a large frame warehouse on the
northwest corner of the block, and in
1889 two brick warehouses were built on
the southeast corner. He has a large
quantity: of goods ;-and -- merchandise
stored in ' the V warehouses," .. and; hopes
that the government will give him suffi
cient time to remove them.- -

Washington, May" '13. Oregon and
Washington senators and representatives
feel very well satisfied over the amended
river and harbor bill, the bill being in
creased 7 something .over .. $1,123,000.
Oregon and Washington together have
$726,000 of this increase. The boat raiU
way was a good thing for both Oregon
Land Washington. There is an import
ant amendment providing for the im
provement of the Columbia river, so
that deepwater ships may reach Van
couver. This improvement will be a
benefit to Washington. - The proposed
opening of the Columbia river to the international-boundary
line,:.; for which
$10,000 is appropriated, is also import
ant to both states. '. - .

HIS RECENT . SPEECH AT ALBINA.
The Possibilitj- of Throwing the Elec-
. . tion in'to the House.
"
HIS VIEWS ARE FCRE DEMOCRACY.
Wishes to-See Weaver Notntnated at
the Omaha Convention Pithy '
Talk Etc.
Poktj.a.vd, May 14. Governor Pen
noyer's Albina speech has caused so .
inuuii comment, coupiea . witn some
speculation as to his motive, if any, that
did not an near on the Biirfar. that a -
Telegram reporter was detailed to inter
view his excellency yesterday.. ,
After saying that "it is freely inti
mated that it. was made as a prelude to
a big scheme, the - outcome . of which
might be your.-nominalion for president
At Omaha w tha 1 1.1.1 .........
tion the governor quickly replied:
"Oh, there's nothing in that; nothing
whatever, it's all moonshine; why, no
body knew till last Satnnlav 1 h
going to make that speech. No I am
not a candidate for president, or vice
president, or senator, or anything else.
I am not a candidate; that speech: was
made with no reference to any such
event.: It is not- a supposable ' case.- -Weaver
will probably be the candidate, -
and be is entitled to it." "Do you think -an
out-and-out free-coinage man, with
that the main plank in a platform not
overburdened, with too many others, -could
gain some electoral votes, and thus
throw the election into the house?", "In .
the event of the nomination of Harrison
by the republicans and Cleveland by the
democrats," the governor responded
promptly and .emphatically, "such a
m nn vrnn'd mptp tliA 1 oof n-o T .-kfaa rt n
all the South .would vote for him ia-....
preference to Cleveland."
: '' Welli governor, don't ., you see that
the Omaha convention, seeing that in
all probability you could carry Oregon, i
in addition to all the other states that .
Weaver or any other candidate could, is
likely to make you the nominee?" -
"Oh, I don't know about that; that
speech will never be heard of outside of -Oregon.
No," he repeated, "Weaver is
doing splendid . work, and " I think lie--ought
to be and will be the nominee."
. The governor expressed himself freely "
and fully as to his politic-al position, hut
did not care to be quoted further. He .
believes his views on the coinage qucs
Won are the true and right :denocrncy
he has no political-aspirations, but is -determined
to stick to what he' "belie vt-a
to be sound democratic principles.
