loyalty to his country, we hereby announce

a soldier in the Confederate war and fi
was badly wounded in the leg, which
rendered him a cripple for life, but "
notwithstanding this affliction he has <
supported himself and family hy hard
work on his farm without murmuring
and has never asked for an office \
. Therefore, a more deserving man f
* could not be elected Treasurer of Lancaster
county. He will support the '*
Democratic nomihee. i

Damage Incalculable and Thousands
Made Penniless by a
Dig Freshet.
Kooknk, la., July 10.?The
Hood conditions of yesterday
were much wopse today and the
Mississippi river is from two to
ton miles wide for 75 miles bolow
Keokuk and is raising rapidly.
The flood is reaching far outlying
farms, hitherto missed, and

Missouri side have lost everything.
Damage is also occurfng on the
Illinois side, between here and
Quincy, where tfiere are many
thousand acred of riverside levees
and where the levees themselves
are not entirely efficient,
the water is working through at
the site of the floodgates. The
greatest damage is on the Missouri
side of the Mississippi river,
between Keokuk and Hannibal,
territory covering 300 square
miles, and on which the corn
was estimated at 80 bushels to
the acre a few days ago. Hundreds
of farmers are tenants,who
lost crops by last year's drought
in the uplands and moved to the
lowlands this year. They are now
penniless and hunting work in
fnn>n. . - .1 -ii.1 * '
uunun miu uuhh, rteporis ioaay
are that in the territory indicate
the loss will be over $4,000,.
000, chiefly to corn land and in
splendid condition previously.
The damage done along the
Mississippi river is greater than
was expected or at first reported.
One township in this county,
Green Bay, is six or seven feot
under water. It contains more
than 11,000 acres of crops.
Families there were driven out
hurriedly and some cattle were
drowned. Corn was the finest
111 huh eecnon or the country
last week. The levee eight miles
north of Burlington broke, inundating
three square miles that
had been considered safe.
The Skunk river, the most
damaging tributary of the Mississippi,
is roaring down with a
flood approached, but twice in
the history of the State, in 1S51,
ai?u 1892. The water topped
the record of 1892 and touched
ho highest record of 1851. This
river rises in the centre of Iowa
and empties into tho Mississippi
25 miles north of Iveokuk and
greatly increases the tlood at
points below.
In the interior Iowa towns on
the Dos Moines and Skunk rivers
were surprised by the rapid rise
and there is much excitement.
It was believed that the recession
for the flood of the first three
days of the week removed all
danger and people returned to
ordinary conditions.

i'eoria, III., .July 20.?The Illinois
river tonight stands in imminent
danger of causing thou
sands of dollars worth of damage
up'-Kmldings and manufactories in
rVeoria. The damage already
caused along the lowlands by the
Hoods will he hut a drop in the
bucket compared with the loss it
the water shall rise one toot higher.
Rivermen say there is no
possibility ol the water receding
in the next .'10 hours. Today the
river stood 20.5 feet above the
low water mark and it is rising at
the rate of half an inch an hour.
Should it continue at that rate
until tomorrow noon it will have

Sensation in (tats.
Chicago,,Ju)y 19.?Fearing that

the new standard contract oats
to iil! July contracts created great
excitmeet on short on the board
of .trade today and July oats
soared to 65c., the highest price
since 1S74. This point marked a
gain for the day of 7 3 4 cents,
and of 15 cents for three days.
The supply of contract oats at
present is almost nil, and of to* *
day's scant receipts only 28 cars
went up to the new standard
which oats must grade to be deliverable
on contracts. July oats j
closed 7 l-4c, up at 64 1 4c.

happened in almost every neigh

has been told and retold by thou- t

New York, July 20.?The
Abiel Abbot Low, a 38 foot
launch equipped with a kerosene i
oil engine in which Capt. Henry <
j Newman, a well known boatman, <
accompanied by hiB 16 year old (
son, sailed from College Point, L. i
I., on July 9th. on a 3,000 mile (
voyage to Falmouth, Eng., was j
reported having been spoken by |
two vessels which reached this ,
port today. f
Captain Ivon of the French <
bark Tourville from Nantes, re- (
ports having sighted the little \
craft, on July 13th in latitude t
40 33 north and longitude 61.32 (
west, but it was so far away that (
he could not communicate with
the occupants of the boat.
The American liner St. Louis
from Southampton and Cherbourg
also reported having sighted the
Low. The little boat exchanged
colors with the big liner on July
IS in latitude 41.34 north, longitude
55.35 west. The two occupants
seemed to be in the best of
spirits and waived their ran* to
the ofticers and passengers of the
St. Louis.
Capt. Newman, before sailing
from this side said he expected .
to roach Kngland in less than (
thirty days. In tho nine days <
she has been to sea when sighted i
by the f^t. Louis she had covered ;
approximately a distance of 875 ,
miles?almost a hundred miles
per day?at which rate she should'
reach her destination if no mis- i
haps befell her, in a month's
time. K

The Future ot' (ulni
Havana, July 20.?The Union
Kspanola quotes President Palma
is saying in an interview that he
las great hopes tl.at the country
vill emerge victoriously Irom the
present ciisis. President Palma
taid :
"It American syndicates have
nought all our cigar lactone- and
considerable land, besides a number
of smaller estates, it is because
if faith in the economic future of
3uba. Moreover Senor Ierry,
tvho is a planter, admits that a
price of three reals per 25 pounds
>f sugar ofTer6 a profit, which
hough not very great, makes it
vorth while for these to cultivate
?ugar who can avail themselves
if the methods. Furthermore,
tve are approaching a day when
lugar bounties will be suppressed
and when Cuban sugar will be
able to compete with the European
product, and there are besides
favorable symptoms of reciprocity
with the United States.
With these reasons as a basis, we
may hope that the economic tuture
of Cuba will soon improve. When
once the economic problem is
solved, the political situation will
not present difficulties. The inexperienced
regarding official organization
is compensated for by
:he good sense of the people.
Annexatien is not the way to
save Cuba, as it will not come
svhen the present population ot
3uba would benefit by i?. but
when the Americans choose?
hat is, when the influence exerjised
by the Latin element in
Duba shall have ceased.
