a letter was received from Mr.. Will

pleased to have the proposed buyer
come to Independence and though he
could make the trip pleasant for him,
he need not come with the intention of
getting the FLY for 81, 800, as she was
not for sale now at any price. He
might, however, be able to buy the
Axtell-Anna Diekerson colt, as its
owner was holding it for about S1O,-

to breed one.

The LIST of March is the moving sea-

fewRdays past a great many people
have been making a change of base.
There has been apparently an unusual
amount OF changing ofhomes this year
among the class above referred to,
more than we have ever noticed be-
fore. There has also been very
great number of land and ytock sales
in the last two months. The prices
realized have been good, almost with
out exception, in fact much better
than for several years past and this in
the face Of the loud cry of "hard
times" heard on ever hand. The call
for farms to rent, is excess Of the sup
ply, desirable place having a num-
Der of good applicants at once. In
the town there is scarcely a vacant
house tnd We have inquiries every day
for hotses to buy or rent. Rents on
city f,dRery have advanced since

good opkabg for investment in
cheaper cid ss of houses that would rent

OVERLOOKED.

The news from the flooded districts
of the West show a frightful state of
lesolation, caused by the overflow.
In the lower Mississippi valley, the
situation is critical, and great alarm is
felt lest another inuudation should
occur. Yesterdays Courier, in re-
viewing the situ;iou, says: The cX-
tent of the food damages in tie far
West is just being realized. In the
Colorado Valley is a vast sea of water,
and everything is in dcsolation for goo
Gilos. 1t is thought that hundreds of
iva &1cre~fosts HI the -Gila Valley,
Where all the wires are down and
Aridges swept away. The river is
seven miles wide near Yuma, and in
some places the stream has expanded
into lakes eighty miles across. Many
people were forced TO the tree-tops,
aud, exhausted from cold ard fatigue,
fell of and were drowned. Water
extends over eighty miles Of the
Cocopah Indian reservation, where
there are no hills, and The refugees re-
port 100 drowned. At Yuma, 1,400
people are homeless, and not a bust
ness house is standing. One thousand
people are fed daily by the Pacific
Hotel. The losses i'm that county
alone aggregate 100000, Of which
the Pacific road sustains %2j0000.
Reports from along the Mississippi
river show a critical situation. Tcc-
grams from Yicksburg and Natchc2
indicate great alarm as to the strength
Of the lower river leyecs. The Kempc
levee, in Mississippi, is shaby, and re-
quires great watchfulness. The river
is higher, comparatively. than in 1890,
and repetition of the fight of last
year means a loss Of millions TO Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi"
