Mandan, n. D., April GA farmer in

Two were dead and one alive. The

THE WORST rs HERE
OUTLOOK IN RED RIVER VALLEY is
BRIGHTER.
Il IL Not Expected That the Red VIII

per press Rooms Under Water
The Lower Jim Ve1ley Vast Sea.

Fargo, N. D., April 6..During one
hour to- day the water in the Red river
rose only half an inch, and the indica-
tioms are that the limit will be reached
some time tonight. During the last
seventeen hours the water has risen
eighteen inches. The water has
reached such a height that the Kelley
institute has been flooded, and half the
families in the Island Park residence
district have moved out, Bishop Shan
ley and State Treasurer Nichols being
among the number. Both passenger
bridges between Fargo and Moorhead
are closed, and the water is two feet
high ON Front street and Northern Pa
citic avenue, and four blocks of paw
ing are headed toward Winnipeg.
BoOms are being put in to prevent fur
Their damage to the streets. The water
is nearly UP to the cross-ties on the
Northern Pacific bridge, but trains
have been sent over i'm both directions,
though great care has been taken to
keep weights on the bridge at all
times. The Sheyenne river, west Of
town, has begun to rise at last and is
flooding the prairie to Fargo and the
entire west side Of town, and many
families will be compelled to move un-.
less the water falls quickly. Nearly
every basement in town is flooded, in
gliding the. press rooms Of all the
papers. It is impossible to estimate
the damage caused by the food. At
first the poor people on the fats were
the sufferers, but now all people are
catching it, and it is feared some Of
the buildings may be damaged by high
water in their Easements.
Grand Forks - The river is rising
three inches an hour, and residents OF
the lower part Of the city are making
arrangements to move out. Indications
point to the highest water in history
and merchants on Third street have
emptied their easements and confident
ly expect to see water over that street.
The Northern Pacific track on this side
is covered and trains are run in on the
Great Northern tracks. The ice has
not moved out and it is feared that
much damage will result from gorges.
Bismarck-Ice in the Missouri gorged
below town and water is now rising at
the rate Of an inch a minute. A per-
feet torrent is rushing toward Mandan,
ard it is probable that the lower part
Of that town will be inundated before
night. The Northern Pacific tracks be-
tween this city and Mandan are under
water, and the great steamboat ware
house at the landing here is af1oat. 1t
Is tied to the bank by cables.

tnlent is about four feet higher than 1t
Is on the west side. In case the en-
bankrnent should break the water
would surely inundate at least a hun
dred homes from which the people
have not moved, although there is con-
siderable water around them. The
water has been slowly seeping through
the embankment for several days and
1t IS thought that another six inches Of
water on the level would break
through the street. In case this should
happen the damage would be much
greater than any that has yet been
CO used.
Winona- TIE Mississippi river this
morning registered 14.75 feet above
low Water mark and is Still coming up
rapidly, with indications that the high
water mark of 1880 will be passed.
All saw mills except that of the Wi
mona Lumber company Rave been shut
down, and Is feet more will make
that close. Youmans Bros. & Hodgins
have a large crew Of men at work
moving lath from the low lands to a
place Of safety. Merchants on Second
street are moving goods out Of their
cellars, and residents on the low lands
on West Fourth street are leaving
their houses. The bridge over Wis
consin slough on the road to the high
wagon bridge has gone out, cutting off
travel with Wisconsin.
Little Falls-A large log and ice lam
broke and moved down the river about
half mile but damned again when
it reached the new boom piers put in
by the Pine Tree company about four
miles north of here last winter The
Pine Tree company is confident that
its works will hold and no damage will
be done. The Mississippi is very high
mere at present, but still lacks con-
siderable of being as high as last year.
1t is estimated that there is 100000, 900
rect OF logs in the jam above this city,
but the boom men claim that the new
works will hold even if the water rises
three feet above the present stage.
. r. 49,
Minneapolis - Nearly 100 families
have been compelled to vacate their
tomes on the West side flats. Of these
fully two-thirds have been forced to
move since Saturday, a rise of at least
sixteen inches having occurred since
then. Whether the Tenth avenue
bridge will sail down river remains
to be seen. After an investigation by
City Engineer ,Cappelen yesterday,
both ends were boarded up and no one
will be allowed to cross it, as it is
deemed unsafe.
Lake City-The water at this point
has raised nine inches in the past
tWenty-four hours, and is, now so high
that the government pier does no good
In stopping ice. There is slight wind
up lake, and should it increase, there
is liable to be considerable damage to
the government fleet and the resi-
denceS en- the point.
Grand Rapids There is no trouble
on the upper Mississippi above Aitkin,
and no breaks whatever The dams
are all in first-class condition and the
ground absorbs much of the moisture
from the snow, which is now reduced
to about eighteen inches in the woods.

diction made in these dispatches Fri
day that great disaster to the Missis-
sippi delta would follow the breaking
of the levee at a point on the east side
of the river north of Helena, Ark, has
been terribly realized. The break at
Flower Lake has rapidly grown from
a dozen feet to a thousand. This is
at the head of the delta and will cause
an overflow of the northern tier Of

ton of a part of Tunica. # the water

A WORLD OF SEA.
The Lower Jim Valley Water Far
as the Eye Reaches.

The Lower Jim Valley Water as Far
as the Eye Reaches.
Yankton, S. D., April 6-The torrents
from up the Jim river. valley still ar
rive. The valley is now a vast sea as
far as the eye can reach. The Great 4
Northern, Northwestern and Milwau-
kee railroads are suffering badly. Over
three miles on each road is floating and
being washed in many other places.
The bridges are still sound although
water threatens at any time to float
them The approaches are cutting out
fast. Yankton is now utterly severed
from the outside world, and probabili-
ties are that it will be two weeks be-
fore roads are able to resume opera
tons. The damage so far has been
mostly to railroads, as farmers had
ample warning and the majority were
prepared for the food. Those foolish
enough to stay are now living in boats
or waiting for assistance. The water
is still rising and it is thought the
worst is still to come.
Aberdeen-The flood situation in this
city and Immediate section has
changed somewhat for the better and
has undoubtedly passed it's worst
stage. In the city damage will here
after be confined to further losses in
Easements and cellars. The water has
receded and there seems no danger
that Main street will be flooded. Loss
on goods in Easements will be heavy III
the aggregate. A dozen or more coun-
try bridges, many of them new and
substantial, have gone out. Railway
people say the situation south is get
ting worse, instead of better, and they
do not look for trains to- run over
south lines for two weeks. .....
Redfield-No trains have arrived or
left here for six days, owing to the
washouts. Mary ofathe railroad bridges
are unsafe and every foot of wagon
bridge in the county has been swept
away. as have many Of the iron ones.
What iron bridges are left are incapa-
bic of bearing a load and the APP
proaches to all bridges are gone. LIZ
Huron = The water in low p:a':ss
throughout the city is disappearing
and the river is rapidly receding. The
flood conditions are improving and a
few days of fine weather will enable
farmers to begin spring work, which
is delayed.
| Vermillion - Gayville, fifteen miles
west of this city, is under water from
the Jim river. People have gone to
the second stories of their buildings.

In the United States senate a bill has
lately been introduced to establish a
national department of public health.
The bill is the result of efforts by the
Pan-American Medical Congress, a
gathering of physicians from the coun-
tries of North, South and Central
America. Such a department, if es-
tablished, would study in systematic
and scientific way, not only diseases
and their prevention or cure, but many
kindred matters which have quite as
important a. bearing upon the welfare
of the people-matters such as the con-
dition of the laboring classes, their
workshops and dwellings, the cost and
nutritive value of various kinds of food,
the purity Of water supplies, etc.

little time the probable candidacy, Of
United States Senator w. A. Harris
of Kansas for the nomination for pres
ident of the fusion forces in 1900 has
been common gossip among Kansas
politicians. The Daily Capital in this

tor, Rev. H. B. Fonkin, and while he
was away they sent for congregation
al minister at Cedar Rapids to come
down and preach to them last Sunday
evening. After the service one Of the
deacons arose and made motion that
every member join the Congregational
church. And it was carried unani-
mously. Rev. Mr. Fonkin is recovering
very slowly from the shock.
