The IVorst Is Over.
St. Louis, May 21. It is almost im
possible to give an adequate estimate ot
the !oss by tbe flood 10 the Mississippi
bottoms. A single instance, however,
will illustrate tbe seriousness of tbe sit
uation. Of all tbe land under water, at
least 300,000 acres in wheat, which," at a
conservative estimate, considering the
fact no crop can be raised this year,
means not less tban 10,000,000 bushels of
wheat lost. In addition to this homes
have been wrecked, cattle have been
drowned and lakes and ponds formed
where tbe lands were dry for years. This
renders what was formerly valuable land
worthless. Over 100 flour mills are
affected more or less in tbe flooded dis
tricts; farm laborers are out of work for
tbe season, as well as millmen, and so
tbe tale of woe increases. One unfortu
nate occurrence to day was tbe sinking
nt some two feet ot trestlewnrk on tbe
new Merchants' bridge half a mile east of
the bridge proper. This will soon be re
paired and business over that route re
sumed. Tbe water in Cahoki creek has
fa lea six inches, and m many of tbe
flooded districts tbe waters are beginning
to recede. Keports from sections ad lu
cent to Bast St. Louis are more favorable.
Tbe railways bave not yet begun using
their recently aband. ned tracks. In
North St. Louis the backwater caused
many sewers to burst and the health ol
the residents of that section is in danger
unless there is speedv relief. All danger
of a coal famine is said to be past.
SCENES OF DISTRESS.
A trip by an Associated Press reporter
from tbis city to Cairo revealed scenes of
distress. Tbe river is bfteen tu twenty
miles wide, and is eating awav homes.
drowning stock and submeigmg farms
It is estimated tbat 10,000 people are
homeless in this stretch of cnuntrv alone.
and 500,000 acres of growing grain des
troyed utterly. A potato famine is in
prospect. Th great American bottom,
comprising most of Atchison and St.
Clair counties, one of the greatest potato
6elds of the Mississippi valley, is entirely
inundated, and will not yield a single
potato. The cabbage crop is also ruined
The newspapers and the board of trade
are soliciting subscription for tbe flood

or property may follow the stopping o
'rains, be will take prompt measures to
suppress tbe union miners. Ibe sole ob
ject of tbe latter in obstructing travel is
to obtain time in which to urge th
non union miners not to accept work in
the Cceur d'Alene mines, but it is feared
tbey may go too far.

Aberdeen, May 23. The ranchers
living three miles up the Wisbkah river
tound at the dock tbis mornings floating
boat containing a woman's hat, cloak
and one oar. Inquiry developed tbe fact
that Ella Beard?ley, aged 20, had been
rowing on the river, and was missing,
Two theories are expressed, some think
iag it a case of suicide, and others that
she went abore to gntbrr flowers, and
tbe tide carried the boat away. Parties
are now scouring thw woods and drag
ging tne river, siua iSeardsley came
over from Portland Friday with Dr,
IMtel to visit her parents, and was lo

The case is shrouded in mystery. The
search was continued all the afternoon
by dragging the liver and teaicbing the
woods, but without avail. I; Is generally
thougnt she is drowned, whether by acci
dent or suicide, is unknown. Her rela
tives know no cause ot suicide. Her
friends arranged yesterday lor a Doat ride
at 9 this morning, bnt for some unknown
reason she arose .at 6 o'clock and rowed
np the river without the knowledge of
the others. At 10 o'clock the empty
Doat was found. Miss Jicardsley was

Nice liittla Scheme.
Wash inqton, May 23. It ia reported
here that a genuioe surprise is iu store
for tli t: opponents of Cleveland at tbe
Chicago convention, and that a novel and
dunug scheme is under consideration by
whicu tbe hostility ot tbe New lork del -
egation to tbe noiuinntlon of tne ex preu
dent may be neutralized.
A gentleman, who is on tbe inside nf
the Cleveland councils, said to dav "The
opponents of Giover Clcveiaud, who have
been counting a great deal upon the op
position which tbe Hill du'cguon Could
make at Chicago to Cievelaud as a can
didate from New York, will possibly be
urpnsed to know that Cleveland will
not pretend at tile Chicago convention to
be a candidate from New York. The
fact appears to bave been overlooked by
he politicians, curiously enough, that
Grover Cleveland now actually claims a
residence 10 New Jersey. nd the prob
auilty is that he bas takeu 'he proper
Step to become a legal res dent there."
At all events, it is said, that if be shall
carry the New Jersey convention this
week, as bis friends expect he will, bis
name will be presented at tbe Chicago
convention as a candidate of tbe state of
New Jersey. ' This will give the anti
Cleveland movement iu New York, tbe
friends of Cleveland think, a different
aspect.

A Fatal Accident.
About midnight Friday, tbe lifeless
form of Mr. Julius W. Klein was brought
tu tbe residence of bis parents by bis
brother Frank and Mr. Otis Savage, from
Foppiano's ranch, about fifteen miles
Irom Mitchell. Under such circum
stances the grief ot the parents can better
be icsgiued than described, for tbey bar
not received tbe least intimation tbat
anything had befallen tbe young man.
Tbe following are tbe particulars as far
as we can learn tbem from his brother;
About three weeks ago Frank, "Tony" as
he was familiarly called by bis compan -ions
and Otis Savage took an outing, and
arrived as far as tb'u place mentioned
where tbey stopped several days. Sat
urday they were helping a man in tbe
neighborhood separate a band of horses,
and Julius was standing at tbe gate keep
ing one portion in tbe corral, while tbe
others were flowed to eacape. A par
ticularly wild and vicious animal jumped
at the gate and .knocked young Klein
about fifteen feet, he lighting on bis face
in a rocky place. This happened about
2 o'clock in tbe afternoon, and hit brother
and young Savsgo carried him to tbo
bouse, and as quickly as possible sum
moned a doctor from Mitchell. Being
unconscious at the time tho physician ar
rived tbe naturo of bis injuries could Dot
be ascertained, and it was supposed tbat
he was bruised and stunned from tbe
shock and would recover in a icw days.
Sunday be regained consciousness and
talked to bis companions. Every atten
tion possible was given the injured boy,,
but Thursday morning, about 2 . o'clock;
ho died. Procuring a light wagon bia
brother and Otis Savage, at 4 o'clock, of "
tbe same morning, started on the sad
mission of conveying tbe remains to bis
parents in this city, a distance Of 135
miles, and arrived bere Friday. A few.
days before tbey started with light hearts
and buoyant hopes on tbe trip; but tbe
return wss the saddest journey tbey ever
made, and it is not to be wondered at
that iu the bewilderment of parents and
oi the beys it was very difficult to learn
the fauts in the case. Julius was aa
i-xctDtionall v bright lad. and alwava
ambitious to succeed ia whatever be un
dertook. Tbe blow falls doubly severe
on tbe parents, who are highly respected
residents of this city, by reason of Its sud
denness, aud in their terrible misfortune
thoy bave tbe heartfelt sympathy of tbe
community. He was aged 18 years and
10 days, and was born iu this city. Tbe

Supposed Suioide.
Mr. W. A. Allen, who baa bsen oonfioed
to bis bad by sickness for some time, was .
found dead near his resideooa on Five Mill
creek last Saturday with his throat cut. He
was an old gentleman, tod aged about 70
years. Mr. Allen had received a good edu
cation, and was a highly respected and in
telligent citizsti. Three years ago, during
the dry season, bis crops failed, and ha has
been heavily in debt ever since. Some time
ago his eyesight failedand for the past year,
he has been nearly totally blind. It is pre
sumed these misfortunes so preyed upon
bis mind that his reason became dethroned,
and it is conjectured that last night in a fit
of insanity he wandered from his honse and
ended bis existence in tbe manner indicated.
Last Thursday Dr. Eahelman visited bim,
and found him suffering from several con
tusions in the head. He dressed the wounds
and applied the usual medical remedies.
Two ot his grown daughters waited on him
during his sickness, and on questioning
tbem they assured the doctor tbat they had
not left his bedside for over five minutes at
any time, for he required close attention,
being periodically very delirious. He was
rational at the time of tbe visit, and sug
gested to the doctor himself that perhaps
he had been struck by the smoothing iron
which was kept at his feet. From these
facts it is fair, to draw tha conclusion that
during a period of mental aberration he had
inflicted the wound oa his head bimself,
and that his death resulted last night by his
own hands, during a fit of temporary
insanity. Justice Schutz left this morning
for the scene of the tragedy, for tha pur
pose ot ascertaining the full facts, and hold
ing an inquest if deemed necessary. Mr.
Allen bas three grown daughters and one
son, who arrived in the city last night, be
ing telegraphed for on account of his fath- '
er's serious illness. He was a member of
tha Adveotist church, and always bore a
good reputation in tbe neighborhood in
which he lived.
