The Terrible Condition Of Thousands of
People in Arkansas Portrayed.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, April 2.-Mr. j. j.
Hogan of The Memphis Commercial, has
arrived here direct from the flooded dis
trict along the Mississippi river. He
says the situation is alarming and that
in his opinion the flood has not reached
its highest notch. In the Laconia circle,
which is situated in Desha county, Ark,
and comprises about 10000 acres, the
scene is heartrending one. This strip
Of country is now inundated to depth
Of five to twenty feet and the inhabit-
ants, numbering between 1900 and 5000
people whites and negroes, women and
children-are perched on housetops and
haystacks and in the trees. Live stock
not already drowned, are maintaining
precarious existence with their wretched
owners In some instances on the roofs of
residences and elsewhere on improvised
platforms of wreckage. Starvation is
telling on the cattle, while the human
victims are in scarcely less deplorable
condition as to food. From Helena the
entire delta country reaching from
Vickshurg. west to Shreveport and down
to New Orleans seems doomed to de-
struction. Mr.. Hogan reports that all
the people in the wide district threat
ened, who realize the true situation, are
fleeing for their lives.

swept away by the wind and water in
the recent storm, the farmers losing all
their household goods and stock and

BARON O'KEEFE's HORSES
Thibadsau Charged with Stealing Them
He is in Jail,


Isaac Thibedeau IS an admirer Of
horses. Ia fact his interest in fine horses
is such that he is now IN Jail charged
with stealing horses from Baron O'Keefe
OF Missoula county. The Baron came
here yesterday and told his story to Sher-
III Hamilton and City Marshal Lester.
They set their keen wits to work and
soon found Thibedeau, who, it is alleged.
carried off several head of horses from
Baron O'Keefe, who yesterday set out in
quest OF valuable tilly, which 1t is sup
posed Thibedeau has at the head of the
Dupuyer. The O'Keefe, as he is called
after the manner of Irish chieftains. is
one of tie old settlers of Montana. He was
warm friend of General Thomas Fran
els Meagher, who was for some time a
guest at ais castle. He is also a
friend of Major Roman, the ablest
indian agent IN the northwest.
The O'Keefe was formerly
member Of the Montana legislature
where his ready wit and genial ways
made him general favorite. He will
return in few days from Dupuyer and
1t is hoped will recover all his horses.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Some on,
has circulated the rumor that Miss Susal
B. Anthony proposed removing to Wyo
ming and making the race for the United
States senatorship when the TERRITORY
shall be admitted as state. Mis-
Anthony laughed good naturedly wher
spoken to about the report, and said tha
inasmuch as she had no such intention
1t must have been started as joke.
"But there is," continued Miss An
Shony more seriously nothing to pre-
vent women from being elected to seat
in either branch of congress if they re.
ceive the required number of votes
Some years ago Mrs. Stanton announced
herself as candidate for congress in
one Of the New York city distrit ts-it
was represented, il mistake not, by
one Of the Brookses at the time--and she
received twenty odd votes. So distin-
guished an authority as Horace Greely,
in his comments subsequently upon the
matter, said that there was no law to
prevent Mrs. Stanton from taking the
seat II enough votes had been cast for
her. The constitution prescribes who
shall vote. It says nothing concerning
the person who shall be the beneficiary
Of these votes"
sis there any probability that the
women of Wyoming will aspire to con-
gressional honors when that territory
becomes state?'
II should think not" Miss Anthony
replied
"There are not to exceed 1900
women in the territory. In the new
states you will always find women in the
minority. In the older commonwealths
like Massachusetts, for example, they
largely outnumber the men,"
"Will any other states change their
constitutions, thus putting women OH an
equality with the men po1itically?''
South Dakota will hold constitu-
tional convention next autumn, which
will result, we believe, III striking out
the word male from their constitution,
thus giving us political rights. If South
Dakota does this North Dakota will
speedily follow. Then Washington will
fall into line. and so, ultimately will
Kansas and several other Western
states"
"What do you hope 10 accomplish in
Massachusetts, whore women outnum-
ber the men?'
Miss Anthony shook her head despond-
ingly, II have but little hope of Massa-
chusetts," she said. "The foreign ele-
ment is very strong there, and it is op-
posed, as rule, to female suffrage"
