THE DAMAGE .iNCALCULABLE.

Destruction of Property in the Arkansas
\ Valley Increases with Every Report.
PINE BLUFF, Ark, May 21.-The de-
%struction of property in the Arkansas
valley near this city caused by the flood
increases in magnitude with every new
report. 1t is now stated as a fact that
sixteen negroes were drowned on Hensly
island during the night. Several more
people lost their lives near Red Bluff.
The loss to the growing cotton crop is
incalculable. All the bridges on the
Iron Mountain road south of here have
been swept away, and the water in the
eastern and southern parts of this city is
covering the ground to the depth of
three or four feet. In answer to Mayor
Whites dispatch, United States Senator
Jones said that the president had di-
rected that a government boat be ordered
here to aid the sufferers. The river is
still rising.

THE FLOODS IN IOWA.
Another Flood Coming at Sioux CIT,

Another Flood Coming at Sioux City.
Sioux CITY, Ia, May 21.-Another
flood is coming this way. This time it
is the Big Sioux which forms the west
line of the city for miles. The water is
reported by the Milwaukee and St. Paul
road as having reached Elk Point where
it forms a wave several feet high. The
river there has risen 10 feet in a few
hours. For miles up the valley is re-
ported a covered by water and the
stream two miles wide. The wave is
expected here about 10 o'clock. It will
do little damage in the city as its banks
are given up to parks. Great damage is
done to farms and villages up the valley,
but reports are meagre.
Only one body was taken from the
Floyd river bank burning the morning,
that of Mrs. Henderson. It was recov-
cred lear Springdale where it had been
caught in the bushes. There are still
from fifteen to twenty corpses under the
drift wood piled along the banks or in
the Missouri bottom below town. These
cannot be taken out till the weather
1noderates for Sioux City was the victim
of a fierce February blizzard.

Rising.
KANSAS CITY, May 21.-The Missouri
river rose all the forenoon, but very
slowly. At 3 a. m. the signal service
guage showed "A feet 9 1-2 inches above

3 inches. the principal part of the rise
for the tw%enty-four hours being that of
Thursday. The river was reported sta
tionary at st. Joseph at s a. III. A rise
of 6 inches was, at the same hour, re-
ported from Plattsnouth. From Man
haitian, On the Kaw river, a rise Of one
tenth of a foot was reported. A tele-
gram from Leavenworth said that the
stage of the river there at noon was 20
feet 3 1-2 inches above low mater mark,
a rise of a fraction over a foot in the last
twenty-four hours. The stream at 9:20
p. III. was rising slowly at Leavenworth.
A telegram from St. Joseph says: The
river is IL feet 5 inches above low water
mark at noon, a rise of 3 inches in
twenty-four hours. No danger is appre-
hended.
No heavy rains in the upper river
area that had been draining into the
Missouri river were reported. Should
these conditions continue the stream will
fall.
At midnight the river is at a standstill,
having unchanged at noon. The Kaw
river is rising slowly at the mouth, but
reports from above say that it is falling
there. Argentina is in a worse condi-
ton than at any time. One thousand
families were compelled to move out
during the evening. Reports from the
Missouri river show that the June rise
has left Bozeman and that means it will
be here in about a week.

The Worst Over at Des Moines

Dies MONIES, May 21.-The flood is at
its height in this city, neither rising nor
falling. The Coon river rose 10 inches
during the night and the Des Moines 13,
but the top was reached about noon,
and as the Des Moines has been falling
for twenty-four hours at Fort Dodge and
the Coon is falling at Coon Rapids and
below and with fair weather predicted it
is fairly safe to say that the worst is
over. Another heavy rain, however,
would force the river up again, and if it
rises six inches more East Des M ONES
will be delused. The suffering in the
flooded districts here has been very great
and the authorities and private citizens
are organized for relief.
