Violence is Threatened, 1t wae reported yesterday that when the Jast squad of nonunion men were being es- corted by Union Pacific guards into the yards Thursday evening pickets from the wtrikers' ranks threatened to assault them and that one of the guards in resisting tho threatened attack drew.his revolver as If to ®hoot. The strikers, it le said, persuaded him to put up his pistol and eerjous trouble was averted. Four of the nonunion men, however, followed the strikers off later. ‘William Canada, chiet of the secret ser- vice for the Union Pacific made this state- ment yesterday regarding this affatr: “t fs not true that any guard drew his pistol, 1 was at the head of the guarde and 1 did not ses anyone e his pistol out of his pocket, and they all told me they did not. Ot course 1 could not see all that ‘went on in the rear, but I believe the men told me the truth. One of them did admit that he reached under his coat to get a billy, ‘but says he did not draw his pistol “It is our alm to avold any trouble and we do mot propose to take the initiative at any time. The strikers may bave thought the guard who reached under his coat was drawing his revolver, but I think they wero m'stakon In saying that he actually aid pro- duce a plstol.” Several of the strikers declare they could mot have been mistaken about the plstol, ‘which they protess to have gated in the “mustle.” Strikeras Will Celebrate.

KEOKUK, Ia, July 18.—Heavy rains in central lowa yesterday and today are send- ing a flood down upon prosprcus Missouri farmers which will ruln many of. them, aud cause lobbes, aggreghting at & conservative estimate, $2,500,000. There seems to be no hope tonight for the country beyond the Mississfppl river and its Missouti biuiis between Keokuk and Hannibal, 300 square miles, mostly in corn, and thousands of acres of wheat {n the shogk. The flood bad touched the danger line the first of the week and had began to fecede when heavy floods started again in the Des Molnes, Skunk and lowa rivers. With a stage in the Des Moines river only three teet below the “tops of the great. love: the river began to rise three inches an hour at its mouth here today. The factor of safety was wiped out this afternoon. A rise of one and a half feet this morning at Ottawa, and a further rise throughout Its length. below the capital city was pre- vented from running out freely by a rise t o foot and & half at Davenport last ight, increasing and coming down rapidly.

The inhabitants there are preparing for an overflow of the river. Year's Work, The corn crop in the flooded district is all made and wheat is in the shock, and as a result the tarmers will lose all their y work. Graln men say the foregolng esti- mate of value s too low amd put the figure of the loss from the overflow at near $4,- 000,000 betweea Keokuk and Hannibal. It is belleved the Illinols levees will hold and the damage there is likely to be only $20,000 to $30,000 between Keokuk and Quiney. Heavy ralns are reported in southeastern lTowa today and tonight there are indica- tions of still higher water. Lowland farm- ers, rivermen and the weather bureau ob- server alike prediet the greatest damage ever known from flood on the upper river. _Reports late this evening show tremen- dous. rains along the Des Moines river and tributaries. Six fnches at Corydon and nearly that much at Ottumwa. Rains all over this section continue tonight, with two inches as a general minimum rainfall, and many reporting five: inches.

" JULY 19, 1902 fLOODSTRIKES PLATTSMOUTH Water Rushes Through Business Btrests and Does Oonsiderable Damage. LOSS ESTIMATED AT FIFTY THOUSAND king of Chioago Avenwe Sewer Stream Three Feet Deep Over the Surface of the Pavements. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., July 13.—(Special Telegram.)—The choking of the Washingten ivenue sewer last evening resulted in Iy estimated at $50,000. Rain fell in torrents from § o'clock until 8 o'clock and there was .a considorable fall all through the night. The precipitation for thobe first two hours is thought to have been at le five inches, which ls more than fell when Plattsmouth had its previous great deluge ob July 6, 1898; On that occasion both the Washington avenue sewer ahd the Chicago avenue sewer choked, but this time the Chi- cago ayenue sewer remained open. Other- wise the loss would have been much greater, Plattsmouth nestles among hills, and in street, from Sixth to First street, the river front, is practically a valley or draw. The two avenues metioned same down from the heights at angles and the water they carrled struck Sixth t at a tangent, rushing past the side streets that are the Droper extenslons of the avenues, to gush down Main street-and the alleys in fts r The flow on Chicago avenue was small be- cause its sewer, measuring 6x8 feet, re- mained open at’ the mouth on Seventh street and carried most of the flood. But the Washington avenue clogged with portions of outhouses from the heights and the consequence was that all the drainage from the hills on that side swept along on the surface of the ave- nue paving. There was three feet of wator on the avenue and Main street and Dr. Stewart Livingstone and Ben Elson were carried three blocks on a section of dis- lodged sidewalk. The brick walks were washed up and the bricks scattpred from Sixth street to First. Estimate of Loss Difenlt. Accurate estimating of losses at this time is difficult, but those who suffered are willing to make rough gues The flood first washed out the rear basement wall of Robert Sherwood's shoe store buflding and Its floor in the rear part sagged four feet into the cellar. The dam- age to the bullding alome was perhaps $1,000. Mr. Sherwood owns it. The stock loss is guessed as another $1,000. The foundation of the wall dividing the fruit and confectfon store of Jobn Schiap- pacasse and the stationery and toy store of George B. Lenhoff was undermined and a large section of the tea-inch wall, which ick, toppled over onto the confec- stock, carrying It and the floor into the flooded cellar. Immediately the floor of the stationery store gave way and sank with the stook. V. V. Leonard, & pho- tographer, with apartments on the upper floor, owned the double buliding and suf- fered at least §2,000 damage. The confectlon &tore was somewhat ele- gantly furnished for ice cream trade, and the loss will fiot be known until it en how much cf the $2,600 worth of fixtures were spared, buf the loss is estimated at §2,500.

Erwin replied, the afdavit continued: ““That will mot be enoug Greene then added: “What do you think of $300,000?" He said: “I don't think that is enough, but you don't want to g0 through the rest of your lite hunted wherever you go, and you must remember that if you are extradited and you are in Georgia it will ba too late to make a set- tlement.” Green finally replied: *Well, anyway, I don't see how we can pay any money, be- cause that would be an admission on our part that we have received money Wrong- tully; that we have not done.” Greene swore that this talk of settla- ment for $500,000 referred to the criminal proceedings. against them and not to any civil claim. This: afidavit was supported by another from Mrs. J. F. Gaynor. Mr. McMaster read an afdavit, signed by Marion Erwin, completely denying the allogations contained in the afdavits of Mr. Greene and Mrs. Gaynor. Regarding the interview between Greene and himself, Mr. Erwin stated that on his return to his room on the afternoon of May 17 he found a note there, in which he recognized the handwriting of B.'D, Greene, which note was as follows: “If you can call to see me at any time today you will do me a great favor.” The original of this note is in the posses- sion of Mr. Erwin and was shown to Judge Caton. In response to that request he had gone to Greene's room and the latter opened the conyersation by saying that while he knew that Erwin had been prosecuting him vig- orously for over two years, he wanted to thank him for having always treated him with. personal consideration. He then sald that it the extradition proceedings at Mon- treal proceeded for any length of time it was probable he might desire to give bond. Erwin's afMdavit continued in substance: “I called his attention to the fact that he and Gaynor had already forfeited bonds in the sum of $400,000. He replied that he had left the United States because he had re- solved never to be put in jail as a conviet; that he had come to Canada with the ex- pectation that after a year or two his friends in the United States could effect a settlement of the clvil claims of the gov- ernment. against him and then he could probably obtain a dismissal of the criminal prosecution, He sald that he had mot given his personal word that he would not run off'from the. prosecution in Georgla, but he.would pledge’me kis word of honor that If I woyld. agred to his giving bond betore, Judge -La; Fontgine he would not run oft. He then referred to tho fact that the government had alveady tied up by civil proceedings half. 2 mijlion dellars of assets of what the. goverpment claimed was O. M. Carter's share in the fraud and asked me what was the exact amount the government clajmed that he and John F. Gaynor had re- ¢elved as thelr share. I replied that we claimed that he and Gaynor had received $1,400,000 as their ghares in the fraud. He replied that he was in no position and had not sufficient means to meet such a claim, but that be and Gaynor would be willing to pay the government $300,000 in settiement of the entire litigation, .to include the $80,000 claimed on forfelted recognizance.” WILL REST IN ARLINGTON Remains of Captain Willilnm Wagner Retsinger 11l Be Interred in Military Cemetery.

He Tells a n-pnnoy the Simple Way in Which He Overcame the Diffenity. “1 have had a great many experiences,” sald Mr. Albert L. Oall, a drugglst of Sams Valley, Ore, “but the recollection of one of them outshines them all.” “What was that?" ventured a reperter. “Well, when I was a little fellow, about 12 or 13 years old, I began to be afficted with an éraption of the skin, something like Qiminutive bolls. T think the cause was ad hereditary impurity of the blood. Physi- clans did not help me, and, in fact, their remedies scemed worse than the disease. 1 kept growing worse and the eruptions be- came &0 numerous that it was a misery to wear clothes, After a while my kidnéys became affected.” “Your skin looks elear mow," reporter. “Yes, the trouble was all cured years ago. How? By Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard of what these pills had accomplished in diseases of the blood and decided to try them. Rellef came as €oon as could be expected and I continued taking them until all trace of the disease had vanished. That was seven years ago and 1 have had mo return of the trouble since.” Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are always successful because they go to the root of the disease. Other remedies act on the symptoms—these maryelous vegeta- ble pills remove the cause of the trouble. Not only have they cured hundreds of cases similar to Mr. Gall's, but they have proven themselves to be an unfailing specific for all Qiseases arising from impure or impover- inshed blood and weakened nerves—two fruitful causea of nearly all the Ills to which human-kind is heir.
