Thoro is groat danger yot to come from

dreds of volunteers from tho vicinity.
A Jackson, Miss. , special, dated
March tiiith, says news from tho Missis
sippi rivor is disheartening, not only to
the State administration, which has
had 060 eouviots hard at work on tho

plo of tlio groat Valley of the Missis
sippi, who have mado such a horoio
fight against tho muddy wators, spend
ing their money freely and using evory
means and onorgy in upbuilding and
strengthening tho levoos, which broko
on tho night of tho 68th.
A bad break at Lako Leo, soven
miles south of Oroonvillo, has caused a
great scction of country to bo under
water. Tho wutor from /this broak is
going to flood thousands of acros of tho
finest, farm lands in tho world. Jt will
spread out forty miles wido and cover
the growing, corn a depth of from ono
to livo feet.
An enormous body of water is pour
ing past Dallas, Texas. Trinity rivor
has risen fully ton foot sinco tho morn
ing of tho 28th and is rising at tho rate
of a foot an hour. Tho overflow is doing
vast damage to farm property along tho
river banks. John Jist, and Miss Kuby
Smith wcro drowned in a branch of tho
Trinity, near Fro in Cook county.
Hailroad managers. estimato tho dam

Tho general property loss in Texas
from tho storm is estimated at from
ono million and a half to two mi lion
dollars.
Tho rivor is rising steadily at St.
Louis, Mo. Hoports received fron up
per river points btato that an im
mense flood is on its way down.
At New Orleans tho rivor has finally
reached tho top of the levees and has
began running over into Mandovillo

not believed that any damage will oc
