Special TO the Globe.
WATERFOWL, S. D.. April 12.-It is a
wet lot of boomers that will keep their
weary dreary vigils tonight. Rain, the
wetting kind of rain, has descend ed all
day and is still industriously at it. The
Sisseton boomers, many of whom are
strangers, say this country takes the
cake for rain. They had heard it never
rained in Dakota, but still they hang on
to their position in the line. There
is no weakening on the part of
the Sisseton boomer. lie knows
there is money in securing
quarter section of the land. A dry
goods establishment near the land Of
fee luckily for some of the boomers,
got in huge boxes of dry goods today
and left the empties OH the sidewalk.
\ forage party quickly secured one or
mere Of them and in an instant at the
very door of the land Office was erected
a shanty, but in the ranks of the BOOM
erS in line there is weeping and wailing.
The government has put its foot down
OH the filing of soldiers declaratOries
by the wholesale. This is very dis
cOuraging 10 the holders of job lots of
declarations. Parties have secured the
East for powers of attorney, thinking
tney cOulu gOOOle up tne landS
in the reservation without title or
trouble, but Uncle Sam has stepped in
and says every man present must have
4 show, 50 the man who has pocket
full of declarations can file only one;
then must, like the dull scholar, 20 to
the foot of the line and await his turn TO
file again. The crowd bordering the
reservation Is increasing rapidly, and
will be very large Friday noon when
the word 90 is given. 1t will be sight
worth seeing, men in wagons, on horse
back and on foot, all running. as if for
dear life, for piece of land. Although
there were many here and crowds came
in on the trains today, it is now estl-
mated that there are still good chances
for many more to secure filing.

tonight is only thirteen feet below the

MILBANK, s. d., April 70. The

end OF the track today OH the Wllmot
line OF the Chicago, Milwaukee d 81.
Paul railroad. This point is % miles
northwest Of Milbank, II miles beyond
WlmOt and about miles inside the
line of the Sisseton Indian reservation.
The railroad company has established

menced to build a long side track. A

station and the agent located. The sta
ton has been named Bush, in honor Of
the popular division superintendent, ID.
l.. Bush. The rush Of settlers is very
large, and on Friday the stampede
for claims will be immense. The
train today from MilOank carried about
100 emigrants, and every train from the
East brings in hundreds more. The lit
tie town OF WilmOt is bOnming, the
hotels are totally incapable Of accommo-
dating the crowd, and tents erected at
the adjoining town or Mibank are being
heavily drawn OH for supplies and pro-
visions. 1t IS now we'll understood that
a well or builds a shanty will hold his
claim against one who may file at Water

later. Every available team is engaged

AS the city is largely Democratic, the
members of that party are not very
fayorably impressed with the result of

a Democratic city convention next year,
and the prevailing opinion is that with
the Republicans it is case of having

FEARFUL DESTRUCTION.
Southern Floods Result In Wide.
spread Ruin.

COLUMBIA, Miss, April H. - The
death aud desolation caused by
the flood has so demorallzed the
entire population that the days are
as quiet and business as Idle as any
Sabbath. While communication is re-
sumed with the northeastern part OF
the county, still the city is wateT-bound
from every other direction. Later re-
ports rather enlarge than diminish
previous estimates OF loss of life and
destruction OF property. A general
idea of the effect of the flood can be
stated i'm this way:
A belt OF country ranging from five to
fifteen miles wide, running north and
south through tie county, Is one stretch
OF debris made up OF ruins OF houses,
fences and carcHsses of stock, ana
it is doubtful whether there are
left standing in that belt half
dozen houses. The pitiful scenes
Of the past few days have opened the
hearts or all. and public and private
charity prevents the cruel suffering of
those who were rescued. But the most
helplessness will come when the water
subsidies, and there will be left In this
place LOCO 10 1900 negroes who have
not one cent and no credit, anu the
places tlldt were thtlf MONIES nothing
but mud holes. The landlords OF the
tenants are In no condition 10 replace
these destroyed farms. and there IS no
future for the negroes Subsisting now
on public charity. Ii there was ever all
occasion when people had right 10
cali on their government for help, That
time is now for these poor freedmen.
Even at the present stage OF water
any estimate of the loss of life is
pyrely guess work, but the death
list is a long one. As yet no
death is reported among the whites. as
these low lying lands are inhabited
almost exclusively by the negroes, and
such whites as lived there were always
kept well protected by keeping good
boats. The old Indian mounds saved
the lives Of hundreds of negroes, besides
countless numbers of stock.
