THE ARIZONA DELUGE.
Losses I'm Yuma County Alone Foot Up
$4,000, OOO-Provisions Scarce.


A special dispatch from Yuma. A. T., in
speaking OF the devastation wrought by the
food says:
Over $50 houses are I'm ruins from the
food and 1,400 people are homeless. Not
single business house remains standing,
and IL is feared that hundreds OF lives have
been lost in the ella Valley. The tele-
graph wires are down i'm the valley, and as
all bridges are down and roads impossible,
no reliable reports can be had from there
The river above town is seven miles wide,
and below the town in places the water
covers the country i'm one great lake over
fifty miles across. The railway company
will not have the blockade raised for
west-bound trains for four days. and
IL will be ten days or two weeks be-
fore they can get east. The town has pro-
visions sufficient for eight more days and
the Southern Pacific Hotel is feeding a
thousand people "A day. Reports from
Jakuno, 15miles above here are Ia the effect
that the flood drove the people into the tree
tops, and many became exhausted from
cold and hunger and dropped into the water
and were drowned. Reports from reliable
sources put the loss of lives In the valley
anywhere from thirty To 100. All along the
valley for 200 miles everything is I'm desola-
tion. Costly houses and barns have been
washed away like playthings, while stock
and fences have been carried down by the
food, leaving the country as bare as a
desert. Men who ten days ago were wealthy
are now homeless and paupers.

SOME CROPS SHORT.
Only for Them Have Prices Advanced the
Past Week

Only for Them Have Prices Advanced the
Past Week.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says;
There Is not much change In the condi-
tion OF trade, but there Is little more
dullness at the South and I'm the Northwest,
with little more stringency In money
markets and complaint about slowness OF
collections. In general. business Is still
hesitatlng. The larger cause Is undoub cd
ly the partial loss OF crops, which has left IA
great many farmers without means for
the usual purchases. At the same time
the collapse OF tho rcal-estate boom
which SO wildly inflated prices through
out the West and South has affected
business more than has yet been realized.
To this influence is added at tho South the
extremely low price of cotton, which affects
farmers the more because so many OF them
tried, by holding back their crop, 10 force n
higher level OF prices. There has been an
advance I'm the average prices OF all COM
modities, amounting TO half OF per cont.
for the week. but IL has been almost exclu-
sively in products OF which crops were
short. The business failures during the
last seven days number 200. as against 297
last week For the corresponding week OF
last year the figures were 301.

Do Not Worry.

About the hardest achievement is to
live without fret and worry in the
midst of uncertainty. A business man
doesn't know how the vital venture is
going to turn out. A housewife is
placed in such circumstances that her
position tomorrow is utterly unforsee-
able. What shall be done? Let to-
morrow alone. Attend to the nearest
duties. Above all, don't chafe. You
will need all your vitality, perhaps,
and all your courage, TO meet those
dreadful contingencies. But nothing
wastes vitality, nothing depletes cour-
age like apprehension. Provide, if
you can. If you can't, 60 on calmly
in the round of present occupation.
Tackle tomorrow when it becomes to-
day. Don't cross the bridge befoTe
you come to it,

Panhandle at Hagerstown, little Town
sixteen miles from Richmond, Ind. The
fast express train which runs between
Chicago and Cincinnati, while going at
high rate on the down grade before

The heavy coaches and the sleeper were
piled up in heap, the struggling pas

caught in the wreck. Almost before
hand had been lent TO help them. the
smoking car burst into flames, and IL
seemed as If the horrors Of fire were to
be added 10 the already dreadful cal
amity.
Soon the passengers who were not dis
abed struggled forth and these with the
trainmen set 10 work TO take out the
dead and those of the wounded who were
unable TO help themselves. by siren
uous efforts all were removed from the
shattered coaches before the flames had
gained sufficient Roadway TO stop the
rescuers. Three OF those in the sleeper
were taken out dead, and of the wound
ed one survived but for a few hours
Two others of the wounded received
fatal hurts, while of the others at least
ten are badly injured. The cars were at

Mr.. McKinley's bill materially increased the
