levees At Modoc the break is now
nearly mile wide.
The levees in Mississippi are older,
higher and better aligned to resist than
those on the west bank of the river
and the area under water is much less.
The worst break is below Friar's Point,
but cross levees restrict the overflow.
A dispatch from Greenville, Miss, says
the Sunfower river is as wide and full
of water as the Mississippi at ordinary
stages and that the sluggish Yazoo
river is now raging torrent. Rescue
work continues unabated from ViclSs-
burg. Helena, Memphis and Hickman,
KY. Steamer expeditions never return
fruitless and it would seem that only a
start has been made to save the suffer-
ing.
The misery undergone by these peo-
pie is beyond description. Naturally
an improvident class, they were not
prepared for the calamity that came so
suddenly. All are without extra cloth
ing and many had not eaten a morsel
for "a hours when reached. A startling
statement by river pilot is published
here. He says: "All the rescue work
seems to be done on or near the great
river. Nothing is known of the fate ot
100, 900 poor people in the lowlands oi
the White, the Arkansas and the Blacl
rivers in Arkansas When the death
roll is made up it will be largely from
these valleys"

Grants Delight in Taking Prisoner.

Grants Delight in Taking Prisoners.
He made very few comments upon the
stirring events which were crowding so
closely upon one another until the re-
ports came in regarding the prisoners.
When the large number captured were
announced, he said, with the first trace
of animation he had shown: That's
the kind of news 1 like to hear. l had
hoped that bold dash at daylight
would secure large number OF prison
ers. Hancock is doing well.' This re-
mark was eninently characteristic of
the union commander. His extreme
fondncss for taking prisoners was man
ifested in every battle he fought. When
word was brought to- him of success
on any part of The line, his first and
most eager question was always: Have
any prisoners been taken?" The love
for capturing prisoners amounted to a
passion with him. 1t did not seem to
arise from the fact that they added so
largely to the trophies of battle, and
was no doubt chiefly due to his tender
ness of heart, which prompted him to
feel that it was always more humane
to reduce the enemy's strength by cap
lures than by slaughter. His desire in
this respect was amply gratified, for
during the war it fell to his lot to cap
ture a larger number of prisoners than
any general of modern times.-Gen,
Horace Porter, in Century.

bezzlement of Cyrus e. BREEDER, the
defaulting cashier of the First national
bank, of this city, who disappeared .
few weeks ago, leaving a shortage esti-
mated at $4,000 He also stole 81 900
from building association. Breder'a
bond was not renewed, so the bank had
to make good the shortage of $50. 900.
BREEDER is said to be in Denver, and it i
likely that steps will be taken to have
him brought here ON charges of for

shows that he began his stealings six
months after he became cashier.

As soon as these were finished they
were distributed to the subordinate

from the duplication of the names of

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A THRush,s SONG.

Il was Just before tho battle,
In the rosy dawn OF day
Ere the hosts, like maddened cattle,
Met amid the roar and rattle
OF the fierce and bloody fray.
And a picket man, on duty,
Heard q thrush above him sing
Heard the liquid notes of beauty
From the wondrous, witching Lutte he
Hid beneath his happy wing
And the music sent him dreamin'
To the home-nest, far away;
And he saw her fond eyes beaming
On the baby's face a-gleaming
In his careless, cradle play.
Then there woke the awful thunder
OF the Death-King in his might;
Stately oaks were torn asunder
While the heavens watched in wonder,
Till the darkness lulled the fight.
Where a wounded thrush was lying
Close beside a shattered nest,
There the night wind wandered, signing
For the soldier who was dying
With bullet in his breast

Mine Owners Fail to Agree and Prices

CLEVELAND, March 24.-After anoth-
err meeting of representatives of all
mines producing Bessemer iron ore in
the Lake Superior region, which was
held here Tuesday, it was announced
that the leading interests on the Me.
saba range-Rockefelle and the Min.
nesota Iron Co-were unable to reach
an agreement and the mines of the Me-
saba range will have no part in pool
during 1897. This means competition
between the Mesaba and other ranges
and lower prices for ore. A meeting
of mine owners of the old ranges win
be held to-day and it is the opinion
that pool of tha old range mines will
be formed, but even this is not certain.

and it has been suggested that he
spend an occasional day in rest at the

The president is so conscientious
however, that he insists upon staying
at his desk as long as his strength will
permit. His friends believe that if he
does not take brief outing he will
break down with overwork.

Mrs Mary j. Westerheld and her sister.
Flora h. Rogers, to recover from Cauld-
we'll and their brother Thomas the sum
of 13,4s0.95 which they say was the
deficit missing from the estate on Jan.
/, 1896.
This sum, they say either Cauldwell
or their brother. or both jointly, have
appropriated to their own use.
Jason Rogers died i'm Morrlsania on
Aug 25. 1868 leaving an estate valued
mt over $2.O0O,OOO. BY the viii the son
Thomas and the two daughters, Mary

In 1886 the latter died. and Cauldwell
was appointed in his place and has since
acted with Thomas. Neither was re-
quired to give bonds.

pert accountant, to examine the ac-
counts of the trustees. She says she
found that early in 1889 Cauldwell be-
gan to withdraw large sums from the
trust funds for his own use. These ap-
pear on the accounts as "call loans"
She further alleges that on Sept. 90
1898, the trustees presented their ac-
counts to the surrogate Of Westchester
county In them they charged them

and that he turned over his interest In
/ the Hotel Empire and other property
to make restitution.
However, as all this property was
