The Mevaia-Review. E. C. KILEY, Editor. MINNESOTA. GRAND RAPIDS - The average man who tries heroic measures gets a misfit. When a man gets too lazy to work he becomes a lofty idealist. The candidates put up their money and the voters make their choice. Beauty is the only thing that con- soles some women for being women. Many handkerchiefs are moistened by expected sorrows that never come. Perhaps a little purification by fire will be a good thing for Coney island. A man seldom does anything the way a woman thinks it should be done. A woman’s thoughts of matrimony before and after taking are seldom the same. Paradoxical though it may seem, the word “trust” excites a good deal of suspicion, It's an important business engage- ment for a man when an heiress prom- ises to marry him When Dame Fortune knocks at the door she very often finds the man inside too lax to lift the latch.

Washington, July 9.—Following the rule governing diplomatic exchange, the state department absolutely re. fuses to make public the latest instruc- tions sent Mr. Choate respecting the modus vivendi. However, it can be stated that they do not contemplate any abatement in the claims of the included in the provisional boundary tine, and generally they look to a per- sistence in the original position on our part. It is the belief now that the two gov- ernments have come to a point where it must be admitted that their present representatives must abandon their ef- forts to agree themselves upon a boun- dary line, even though the latter be but temporary and subject to correction by subsequent negotiation. Whether or not arbitration will be the Dernier resort cannot be foretold at present. Propositions have not been offered in such shape as to be acceptable to our own government, and it is feared that the effort to rearrange the limitations of an arbitration would be beset with as grave difficulties as those in the way of direct negotiation. OMAHA TRAIN FIRED UPON. Attempted Hold-Up Near Wisconsin. Chetek, Wis., July 9. — A desperate attempt was made near here to hold up the limited passenger train on the Omaha railway. The train was fires into three times. Two bullets went through the windows of one of the coaches and lodged in the roof of the car. Two lady passengers were struck in the face by the broken glass, and one woman, Mrs. J. W.

The planters of the bottoms are still moving their help and whatever is left of their stock to places where they can be cared for. They are all nobly helping each other and taking refuge wherever they can, some of them seeking safety on the housetops. All the planters statea that the outside world has no concenp- tion of the floods or losses incurred by the destruction of crop, stock and buildings. Nearly every planter has built boats and sent them through the flooded districts to render assistance to the people, and, if possible, save some of their drowning stock. ‘The flood district has a length of over 500 miles, a breadth of probably five miles, and in all this vast space damage incalcula- ble has*been done. “The loss of life will never be fully known, perhaps; the bottoms were thickly settled, mostly with negro ten- ant farmers; among these has been the greatest loss of life. To show the dam- age done the following estimates have been made by men who are in a posi- tion to know: Lives lost, from 100 to 800; loss to farmers, including crops as well as live stock, from $5,000,000 to $15,000,000; damage to railroads and to country bridges, $2,000,000 to $4,- 000,000. These estimates are taken in the whole area. It is known that more than sixty people have met their death— that many bodies have been re- covered. It is not believed that all of them will be recovered. At Brook- shire the Brazos river has overflowed the country for miles. No loss of life is reported there. The citizens have asked the governor for assistance and measures have been taken for the re- lief of the sufferers.

One Man Killed and Two Fatally Injured. Akron, Ohio, July 9.—By the collision of two cars on the Akron, Bedford & Cleveland Electric railway, Howard Martin, son of the motorman in charge of one of the cars, was killed, two were fatally and a dozen or more seriously injured. Clarence Smith, superintend- ent of the road, was fatally injured, also Earl T. Martin, motorman. They both live at Cuyahoga Falls and were taken to their homes. Both will die. Among those seriously injured were: Mr. Clarkson, George Paul, John Geib, Ambrose Spurgeon and Benjamine FI. Edline. Others were injured, but not seriously. ? The accident was due to a confusion of orders on the part of one of the crews and the cars came together in the hills near Cuyahoga Falls. BRYAN THEIR GUEST. Ohio Democrats Give a Dollar Ban- quet. Columbus, Ohio, July 9.—About 1,000 people attended the dollar dinner given by the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Columbus at the Auditorium last night.

New York, July 9.—The Times prints the following: Before his departure from the city yesterday (Friday) Secretary Alger had a word to say regarding the Micn- igan United States senatorial contest. He denied in the most positive man- ner the existence of a political combi- nation between himself and Gov. Pin- gree. “There can be,” he said, “no political combination between Gov. Pingree and myself, or with anybody who is not in full -accord with the president’s policy, and Goy. Pingree is known not to be. I heartily favor the president’s policy and-have no inten- tion of resigning from the cabinet.” Secretary Alger told Gov. Pingree and his friends that he was not a can- didate for the senatorship in the sense of seeking the place at the hands of the legislature, and that he would not put any money into the campaign.
