WORST YET TO COME.

Weather Bureau Predicts Even More Dis
astrous Floods Along the Lower Missis-
sippi.
CAIRO, Ill, March 29.-That the flood
situation on the Mississippi has not
nearly reached its zenith now seems
certain. Local weather and river
men in many parts have said SO, and
now the announcement bears the Off
cial stamp of the weather bureau of
the nation. A special official bulletin
was issued from Washington to the
river districts stating that the river
will continue to rise for at least ten
days in the region from Helena south
ward to Vicksburg, and to rise dusing
a longer period from Vicksburg south
ward; that the levees will be subjected
to the greatest strain about April 10,
in southeastern Arkansas, western
Mississippi and in Louisiana, and that
should the levees break the result will
be one of the most disastrous floods
ever known.

The Prospects in rs Out of 1O5 Counties
Warrant q Prediction of a Yield of 49,
100000 Bushels in the State.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 21.-The scat
tering reports about the bad condition
of wheat are not borne out by the
facts The prospects now in IS of the
los counties warrant a prediction of a
total yield of 40, 900. 900 bushels in the
state. 1t is impossible to secure esti-
mates covering all the state, but let
tiers to Secretary Coburn, of the agri-
cultural department., reports to rail-
road officials and estimates of expert
grain men who have travelled through
the wheat belt to gather facts, indi-
cate that the plant is in fine condition.
OF course, the critical period is the lat
ter part of April and the month of
May, but from indications now Kansas

TERRIFIC WINDSTORM.
Texas Visited by Tornado Thar
Causes Big Property Loss
Austin and the Surrounding Country L.
Roughly Treated by the Elements
Floods Do Untold Damage
Lives Reported Lost.

AUSTIN. Tex. March 29.-This city
and the surrounding country were Wis
tied yesterday afternoon at two o'clock
by terrific cyclone that did great
amount of damage to life and prop
erty. The wind came from the south
west and blew at about 60 miles an
hour for nearly 20 minutes, tearing
down trees or splitting them asunder
with terrific force. Several large cleo
trio light towers were blown down and
quite a number of houses in the resi-
dence portion of the city were demol-
ished. In several cases narrow es-
capes from death are reported.
In addition to doing much damage
to the state university, the wind blew
off the entire roof of the adjoining
dormitory, letting the rain drive full
into the four-story building, doing in
estimable damage to the building and
the property of the 200 students there
in, many of whom fed for their lives
when the roof was carried away.
The small town of GAINESVILLE, near
this city, was swept by the winds, and
many horses were killed by flying de-
bris, while number of small houses
We're blown down, though. fortunate
", the inmates We're not killed, but
several were badly MANNED. With the
terrific wind came a driving rain that
was little short of a flood, and swept
everything before it.
The little town of Buda, near here,
was roughly handled by the storm,
quite number of houses being blown
down and one or two persons killed,
though their names are not obtaina BILE,
owing to the fact that most of the
wires are down. Late details of the
storm show that the loss to property
| will reach into the thousands. Many
| fine dwellings were demolished. At
Calvert an old lady and two children.
| who were in their house, were fatally
| injured by the collapse of the building,
| which was partially destroyed by fire,
| Notwithstanding the torrents of rain
which were falling.
It is authoritatively stated that
| through the heavy rains which visited
| Texas generally yesterday 90, 900 feet
of track is gone at Valley Mills, two
bridges gone at Kopperl, one at Blum,
one at Morgan, one south of Alvarado,
and quite a lot of track between Gle
| burne and Alvarado, and great num-
Der of small bridges. The Santa Fe is
sending out every available man to re-
pair damages. The tracks are reported
| to be all right north of here.

SIX CHILDREN DROWNED
TreaCherOus Kansas Stream Swal-
lows UP Helpless Little Ones.
Family of Nemaha County Farmer Make
n Fatal Attempt to Ford Swollen
Br1nch-The Mother Alone Saved
All but One Body Recovered.

SENECA, Kan, March 3O.-Mr. and
Mrs John McGrath, who live in the
northwest part of Nemaha county,
Sunday the parents of six children,
are childless to-day, and the mother is
SO distracted by grief that it is feared
her reason may be dethroned- The
children were drowned Sunday after
noon while trying to ford Manley
creek in wagon. Mrs. McGrath,
who was with them, escaped with her
life The dead are: Frank McGrath.
aged Ii years; Katie McGrath, aged IL
years, Leo McGrath, aged nine years;
John McGrath, aged five years; Robert
McGrath, aged two years, and a babe
In arms, aged eight months.
The mother protested against at
tempting to cross, considering it a
hazardous undertaking, but the chill
dren were eager to visit a neigh Dor and
dren We're eager for visit, and all
urged the eldest boy, Frank, who was
driving, to attempt to ford the stream.
Prompted by their pleading, and en-
eouraged by the knowledge that others
had made the crossing safely earlier in
the day, he drove in. The horses had adj
vanced but few steps when they were
beyond their depth, and were forced to
swim They Immediately swung
around in an attempt to return to the
bank they had left, and in doing SO up
set the wagon and threw its human
freight into the swiftly running water.
The older children struggled desper-
ateIy with the current, striving to
grasp the floating wagon or overhang-
ing boughs, but the mad waters were
TOO much for their childish strength,
and, one by one, they sank to their
death Mrs. McGrath directed her
special efforts to save her babe, but the
icy waters soon chilled her until she
was almost helpless, and when she
realized that all she could possibly do
was to save herself she found that a
most difficult task. After having been
swept some distance down stream,
however, she succeeded in laying hold
of overhanging limbs of trees and man
aged TO draw herself half dead with
cold and horror, on to the bank.
When she had recovered sufficient
strength 80 walk, she wandered in a
half 6azed condition along the stream,
looking eagerly into the dark, pitiless
water for her loved ones. After fol-
lowing the stream for mile, she came
TO the residence of John Calnan, where
she told her heart-rending story. Search
for the bodies of the drowned children
was begun Immediately. Two We're
found in short time, and three more
were recovered yesterday, leaving one
still to be located.

May Apply to Labor Unions.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 27.-The MEM
bers of the late legislature were prac-
tically unanimous in a desire to deal
the trust knockout blow, and in their
zeal to accomplish this purpose they
enacted a law which may be applicable
to labor unions as well as to the great
commercial and transportation COM
panies. When the measure was dis
cussed in the senate and house moth
ing was said about la Dor organizations.
However, some very good lawyers ex-
press the opinion that there is ground
for the courts to construe the act so as
to make it apply to labor unions.
