FLOODS IN THE NORTH.

Four Inches of Rain Has Sent Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska Streams Up.
OMAHA, Neb., April special tele.
grams from points in South Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska bring word of in
creased floods in all the rivers. Rain
has fallen almost necessarily for the
last seventy-two hours over an area of
more than 100 miles in radius from
Omaha, the fall being fully four
inches for that time. This has greatly
increased the volume of water in the
already swollen streams and now what
are usually babbling brooks have been
transformed into raging torrents.
Thousands of acres of farm lands are
under from four to six feet of running
water, and many families have moved
from their homes in boats.

sna, Ark.--Bad Condition OF the Poor

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 5.--Another
disastrous break in the Mississippi
levee occurred yesterday morning at
8 o'clock at Fowler lake, six miles be-
low Tunnica, Miss. The crevasse,
while not yet of great width, is fully
fifteen feet deep and the water is pour
ing through the opening with great
velocity. This will probably be the
most destructive break that has oc-
Cured in the Delta. The most fertile
farm lands of Mississippi, lying in
Cohoma, LAHORE, Quitman and Talla-
hatchie counties, in the northern part
of the state, will be inundated and the
newly planted corn crops will be laid
waste. Fortunately, no loss of life is
reported, the inhabitants of this strick-
en- section having made preparations
for just such = catastrophe as exists
there.
The condition of the poorer classes
throughout the flooded area is indeed
critical Thousands of refugees are
huddled ON the levees and spots OF
land waiting for relief. The towns Of
Rosedale and Tunica report that every
thing possible is being done for these
poor people, but that funds and pro-
visions are fast becoming exhausted.
In the little city of Rosedale alone
1,2OO refugees are being cared for by
the citizens. Half hundred towns
stand in six feet of water, and the
yellow stream is creeping up slowly,
but surely.
Advlces just received tell of a break
in the levee two miles south of Helena,
Ark. This is the levee for which the
people of Southeastern Arkansas have
made such desperate fight. Tho
waters from this break will flood a
great area, and in all probability will
back up into the streets of Helena.
At Memphis the river is slowly ris'
ing again, the guage registering 1874
feet. This is rise of one-tenth since
last report. At points below Vicls-
burg the river is rising. 1t is the gem
eral opinion of old river men here If
the levees below Vicksburg hold the
great volume o5 water in its regular
channel, 1t will be little short of a
miracle.

Mrs Smith and her sister Mrs.

refusal Of Mrs. Smith to rent him

knife he went to the Smith residence,
calling his stepmother for the ostensi-
BILE purpose of getting some medicine

In = Fit of Jealous Rage George Miller
Shoots Mrs. W. H. BeFkoy and Two
Daughters Mt Klncald, Kau.--TwO WIN
Die From Their injuries.

KINoAID, Kan, April 5. = George
Miller of Moran, Kan, shot and prob
ably fatally wounded Mrs P. IL.
Berkey and her grown daughter, Miss
Effie Berkey, and slightly wounded
another grown daughter, Miss Jennie
Berkey, at the Berkey home, near
here at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
An hour later Miller himself was shot
and dangerously, but not necessarily
fatally, wounded while resisting ar
rest.
Miller, who is not quite right men
tally, has been in the habit of calling
upon Miss EfRe Berkey frequently.
Recently, having heard reports of a
defamatory nature concerning her, he
determined to demand an explanation,
and drove to the Berkey home for that
purpose. Mrs. Berkey answered his
knock and informed him that he could
not see her daughter. This enraged
him, and he demanded admittance to
the house. This was refused and the
door slut in his face. At this, Miller
drew revolver and fred through the
glass door at Mrs Berkey, striking her
in the breast, inhicting wound
from which it is thought she will die.
On hearing the report Of the revolver
Miss Elite Berley, who had gone up
stairs on Miller's arrival, came rush
ing to her mothers assistance. AS she
stopped over her mother Miller shot
her In the small of the back and the
girl fell on her mothers side. Then
Miller opened the door and went into
the house. By this time Miss Jennie
Berkey had come upon the scene, and
received bullet in the shoulder. 1t
is not thought that this wound will
prove serious.
After the shooting Miller drove to
Kincsid and called upon DR.. Wynn
and DIR. Splawn, informing them that
if they were good hands at pulling
bullets they had better go at once
to the Berkey home, where their
services were sorely needed. Miller
himself started to return to the
BerLey home, but was inter
cepted by Constable Hosley and
posse, who demanded his surrender.
Miller remarked, SAN right" and
Immediately climbed out of his buggy
to give himself up. When the officers
asked for his revolver, he started to
turn it over, and then, suddenly chang
ing his mind, fred three shots at the
officers, none of them taking effect.
The officers returned the fire, wound
ing Miller in the side. Miller turned
and ran after he was shot, but was
captured after short chase.
