We have been having unusually
high water since the fret of the
year The January rise was due to
an unusually heavy rain throughout
Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas. The
water fell in February. / think
there will be no rise again for quite
. time.
AS to the danger of melting snow
l have never found that melting
snow caused as much trouble as
good steady rain. We have not had
any more snow during the winter
than in the last three years, and we
have had no high water to speak of
since 1892
The melting snow does not come
down until June. sometimes later,
and often it's effect is not noticeable
at all. Last year, for instance, our
high water water was in August,
aud it did not reach the danger

MISSISSIPPI IS ON A TEAR.
River Reaches the Highest Point in the
Weather Bureaus History.

Weather Bureaus History.
Memphis, Tenn, March 14.-To
night the Mississippi river has
reached the highest mark since the
tablishment of the weather bureau.
The guage registers 35.7 feet, and
the water is still creeping up. The
river reached it's highest record on
March ii II, 1890, when the guage
marked $50 feet.
News has reached Memphis of the
breaking of the levee Saturday at
Marion, Ark, and the consequent
inundation of that little city and all
the surrounding country. The
waters had swept over the country
for miles around as far as the eye
can reach.
In the town of Marion water is
about three feet deep and the inhab.
itants are not lingering to take
last look at their household goods,
but are leaving summarily; although
the houses at this point were not
considered to be in imminent dam
ger of being tran nsformed into RATS.
Much destruction Of stock is report.
ed.
| At Presidents island all the stock
is destroyed except twenty-five
horses, and at Athen and Chicken
islands the destruction of stock has
been equally great. The ferry boat
c. c. Bryan left to day on special
trip to gather up all the stock which
is yet alive at these and other inun-
dated localities. The inhabitants
there have betaken themselves to
improyised RATS.
In the neighborhood Of Mound
> City the houses are also ahoat, and
the people have abandoned them and
also taken to RATS. There are nu.
merous arrivals Of refugees from
; the overfowed district. Across the
!, river large force of men is engag'
'' ed day and night, trying to save the
} filling.in under tho trestle from be-
: ing washed away by the food.
The river has remained stationar,

has certainly been reached at tha

large trade they are giving Us. We
also want to thank them for waiting
so patiently until we can wait on
them, all this we appreciate, and
there is no one that strives harder to
please the people and make the low
est prices possible than we do. We
are now arranging our store to make
it more handy and more room, so
We can accommodate our trade in
better shape, The people know that
we make the prices, and that some
others follow on few things, be
cause they have to, and We will con-
tinue to make the prices as long as
the people stay by US, as they have
in the past. While our trade is
double now what it ever has been,
so are we selling on half the profit.
We do not make prices one day and
change them the next day, as some
do. Another thing the people have
learned, that you buy goods as cheap
from US when you bring Us your
produce as though you brought the
cash, which you know some don't
do.
We have more goods in our line to
select from than any two stores in
Butler, and we are daily adding diff.
ferent lines to our stock; and do you
notice when we add something new
to our stock, how quickly the price
drops. You could not buy the shoe,
makers stand and three lasts for less
than 75c; we bought them and put
the price 35c. Same way with our
axes, barb wire, chicken netting and
hundreds of other things which we
have lately added to our stock. We
are still selling everything at same
price we advertised them last time
except few things which we have
cut still lower.
Don't forget that we carry almos
full line of hardware. barb wire
chickes netting, nails, staple, axes
hatchets, hammers, bolts, hingel
. saw file, door locks, screws, monke,
wrenches, braces, hasps and staples
butts, stay chains. spring bolts, pa'

That jackson has lost all hope was
evidenced Saturday night, when be

to friends and relatives In all these
letters he said he was spending hia
last hours on earth.
The belief that jackson will make
a confession is gaining ground here
This belief is based on a story tha,
Jackson again renewed his pledge te
Walling to save him.
