This engine is com- pletely under water, and there is not asign above water to show thata $20,000 locomotive is buried there. The engine was attached to a Pull- man standard sleeping car. About three feet of this car projects out of the water. It was coupled to anoth- er Pullman car which was overturned and its forward trucks just touch the water, On one side of the pond more engines of a large type are in the wa- ter, It looks much as if the two en- gines had attempted a header in the stream. The engines are completely submerged, but the tenders are out of the water, furnishing evidence of the plunge taken by the two engines, Railroad men say that there are two more passenger coaches in the bot- tom of the sink hole, but this is doubted by the yardmen who keep record of cars.—Kansas City Times.

These are surely evidences of greatness.—La- mar Leader. —_—_—_—_—_—"" The Howell county Gazette says: Binding twine4rom the Kansas bind- ing twine plant in the penitentiary will go on the market this year at nine and a half cents a pound in lots of less than five thousand pounds. These figures are of great interest to every farmer in wheat belt, because binding twine represents one of the chief items of expense in the harvest and the price of state twine virtually fixes the price of all twine. Rural free delivery has been pressed forward so rapidly that the postot- fice department is wise in slowing up until it can fully grasp the situation In 1897 rural free delivery began with an appropriation of $40,000. The amount allowed in 1898 was $50,000, and in 1899 $150,000, In 1900 the appropriation was $450,- 000, and the routes in operation in- creased from 44 to 1276. In 1901 $750,000 was provided, and in 1902 $3,993,740, with 8,466 routes laid out. For the year beginning next July $12,921,700 is available. In six years the routes have expanded from 44 to 12,000, on which carriers travel 275,000 miles daily, serving 7,000,000 people, or nearly 10 per cent of the total population of the country. That the system possesses greatadvantages is nolonger denied, but it is not good policy, for its own or other interests, to be rushed head- long fashion.—Globe-Democrat. The wholesale frauds being worked by department officials have more to do with the slowing up process, than the reason assigned by the Globe Democrat. Part of the people should not be discrintinated against. It should be extended until every rural family in the country is served, or it should be abolished entirely. There is no reason why some communities should receive governmental favors that are denied to others equally as worthy. The honesty and efficiency of the officials at Washington is growing leas and less each day as the investi- gation goes on.

Thus far 13,000 pensions have been granted; 18,185 applications have besn rejected, and Hannibal, Mo., June 7.—A rise of 4 inches in the Mississippi river at Hannibal to-day sent the water over the 22-foot mark, The gauge at the Hannibal bridge registered 22 feet and 2 inches this evening, which is 9 feet and 2 inches over the danger line, This stage is 7 inches higher than the water is ever known to have gone before, the water being that far over the high-water mark of 1851. To- night the water is washing over four blocks of South Main street, and is up in the gutters on North Main street, One-third of South Hannibal, with @ population of 3,000 people, is sub merged, and seven bridges over Bear creek, connecting that part of the elty with Hannibal proper, are under water, and only one of them is now passable. A little more water willin- undate this and cut off connections entirely between the two parts of the city. The first floors of all the business houses on North, Hill, Bird, Center, Broadway, Church and Lyon streets east of Main street and many resi- dences and business houses in South Hannibal are now covered with wa- ter from 3 inches to 2 feet deep.

It is estimated, from the way new ap- plications are being sent in that 60 per cent of the soldiers of this war will have applied for pensions before the close of the present year. Experts in the pension office declare that un- leas a stopping place is soon found that the pension list growing out of the Spanish-American war will exceed that of the civil war. Democrat.

Corn Prospects Poor, crop report of the Missouri state board of agriculture makes the con- dition of corn 74 per cent, and the area planted 82 per cent, of which a considerable acreage has been wash- ed out, leaving the area standing 75 per cent or less June 1. Theaverage are’ injured by too much rain. correspondents report damage from |!2, is only a point below the five average. A very light acreage was sown this year. der which corruption ran riot and up- on which prosecutions in St. Louis are based, was overwhelmingly Re- publican. The indictments for legislative boodling, as well as in the confessions made, show a decided majority of Re- publicans implicated, although that is the minority party. There were Democrats as falthless as Republi- cans, True Missourians, without regard to politics, are anxious and determin- ed to see the honor of the State up- held and crime unsparingly punished. The Globe-Democrat, however, with the foul smell of the whisky ring still uponits garments, can knowno high- er purpose than mere partisan ad- vantage. Experience has taught this ribald sheet nothing. First and last the Globe-Democrat has abused and slandered every prominent Democrat in Missouri, 1t has not hesitated to libel the State and assail its credit in the mere hope of partisan advantage. It has slan- dered trusted officials of the highest people of the State have put the tion upon its tirades of falsehoods and abuse, The Globe-Democrat does not want asingle boodler punished. There is an affinity between the old whisky ring crowd and the Ziegenhein gang. It was the organ of both and is the friend of both to-day. What the Globe-Democrat wants is partisan advantage, and it does not care whether this is obtained by fair means or foul. The Globe-Democrat knows that Democratic officials are making an honest effort to rid St. Louis and the boodling. It knows large sume of money, necessary to successfully car- knows, too, that this same Globe- Democrat has been publicly rebuked by a non-partisan grand jury of St. Louis for its efforts to discredit these but There is Still a Chance for Large Yields.
