GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago.

Chicago, April 13-Wheat was heavy to-
day closing at 1-2c decline, due to short
selling. The export demand showed signs
of waking up, and this sustained the mar
ket toward the end. Other markets were
dull and weak, chiefly through sympathy
with wheat, corn and oats declining lac
each, and provisions Z 1-2M20c. In wheat
further advance of 3-4c at Liverpool,
in addition to the 14c rise of the day be-
fore was disregarded, because of some
of the conditions prevailing at home. May
to " 3-Sc, against yesterdays closing
prices of 81 7-S06Sc, and after gradual
ly working up to 81 Use, it dropped back
under the influence of heavy short SELL
ing to 66 3-4@66 7-Sc. The activity in
the -four trade at Minneapolis was re-
markable, and dispatches from there put
total sales during the last two days at
between 175,0OO and 100000 barrels. This
news, together with the report from New
York, that twenty-five boat loads had
been taken there for export finally check
and easy feeling prevailed. May gradu-
ally recovered to 81 lie and closed
steady at 81 3-S@67 1-2c.
Corn ruled quiet and easier. The break
in wheat had some influence and the mar
ket felt the absence of anxious shorts.
yesterdays purchases having apparently
filled them up.
Oats were quiet and generally weak.
Seaboard clearings were $4,000 bushels.
Provisions were heavy and lower. At
the close May pork was about zoe lower,
lard 1-2c, and ribs 10c lower.

Supposed to BE One of the Longviet
Bank Robbers of 'O4.


San Antonio, Tex, April 13.-Sheriff j
G. Howard of Longview, the county seal
of Gregg county, passed through here to-
day, having in charge Jim Mite, supposed
to be one of the notorious Dalton gang,
which looted the Bank of Longview in
1894, and shot down two prominent citi-
zens. Mite was captured and badly
wounded in Kimble county by posse.
headed by Sheriff John Jones. Sheriff
Howard is carrying the man to Longview
to stand his trial for robbery and murder
Word that Mite was being taken to
Longview had evidently gone along the
line, for number of bad men from this
and Wilson counties collected here today,
and gathered around Mite. who was
placed on a cot in saloon. Sheriff How
ard Immediately conveyed the prisoner
to the international and Great Northern
depot and had him locked in the waiting
room, but it is feared that secret confer
ences passed between Mite and his pals,
and that rescue will be attempted be-
tween here and Austin tonight.

FRANKS OF THE MISSOURI.
Big Muddy Changes It's Coarse.
East Omaha Will Soon He
in Iowa,


Omaha, April 13.-The Missouri river
is changing its channel past Omaha, and
in doing so threatens to destroy property
to the value of several million dollars.
Last night the river broke through its
banks about mile above where it left the
old channel twenty years ago. and is to-
day running two broad streams across
what was yesterday fertile market gar
dens. Those streams run into Florence
lake, a relic of n former cut off. From
Florence lake the water is pouring into
Cut Off lake, and it now seems only a
question of few hours until east Omaha
is moved into Iowa and all the property
In the line of the flood is swept away.
The government gauge records rise
in the Missouri river of but 90 of foot
In the twenty-four hours ending at noon.
Five miles up the river from the loca.
non of the gauge is where the Missouri
has broken its banks in two places. This
discharge of the flood accounts for the
meagre showing of n rise ON the gauge.
The first break in the banks occurred a
little more than a mile above the orlgl-
nal channel that left Florence lake in the
old cut off, and the water is sweeping
down stretch of land that has been
transformed from most fertile gardens
INTO stream 1000 feet wide and i've feet
deep. The market gardens OF north
omaha will be swept away.
The flood is pouring in upon the low
lands of the east Omaha bottoms in
stream that is estimated to be 1000 feet
wide. 1t is sweeping southwest and
pouring into Florence lake. The water
IN the lake has broken open the levee
that was built to separate it from Gut
Of lake, and it is now rushing with
ever increasing volume into the latter.
A large number of families were
forced to abandon their homes. Many
narrow escapes from drowning are re-
counted, but so far as known no lives
We're lost. Efforts to recover personal
esHects from the engulfed houses have
peen OF little avail. Forces of workmen
were hurried out to protect the houses
IN the Hooded district and have succeed
eu IN restraining the spread of the water
~ the west, combining it to the channel
cut cur from the river to Florence lake and
from there to Cut Off lake. This has
saYed most of north Omaha from de-
ssiIir!uction. Cut Off lake at nightfall was
niling up rapidly, but could then accom-
IN touate four or five feet more of water.
~ Is held back by a strong double dyke
aeross It's lower end and. from there on
~ tne river the old bed is crossed by
pa'eu streets, car line, railroad tracks,
fu., All of which present entertainments
, ,,pi, eight to fourteen feet in height,
Nt Men must be washed out before the
''ouri can resume its abandoned bed.
