Greenville Miss, April 1o.-There

country tributary to the Mississippi

is yet to come and the vast extent of
human suffering and destruction of
property cannot be conceived
Here in the delta alone it may be
truthfully said that the half has not
been told. The river is still al a stand
because of the water coming back into
it from the St. Francis at Helena and
the White and Arkansas just above
Arkansas City keeps up the rise at the

reached them, strange to say, have
only just begun to realize the mag
nitude of the calamity.
Yesterday afternoon a call was is
sued by representative colored men
for meeting to organize a standing
relief committee. The river bulletin
just received promises a-further rise at
Cairo, to begin about tomorrow and
continue for several days. The Ohio
is again rising from Pittsburg south
and the Arkansas is again rising.
Nature seems determined to do her
worst for the lower Mississippi valley
this year, and when the end will be
reached or where the wholesale de-
struction will stop no one can fore

gauge here has touched a higher notch
than at any previous period during the

Privation and Suffering.

Grand Forks, n. D., April 10.-Re-
ports of privation and suffering among
the farmers down the river are pour
ing in. The local relief committee to-
day secured the Great Northern steam
ers here for relief work. This after
noon the government steamer started
on its errand of mercy to the suffering
farmers. She went thoroughly equipped
to fight the ice gorges and aid the peo-
pie, who are said to be on housetops
and even in trees waiting for help.
Locally, there is hardly any change.

Especial TO Inc Aerald)
Laramie. April 1O.-There is a bitter
fight on here over the management of
the state Denitentiary. The state
board of charities and reform signed
a contract with n. K. Boswell of this
city TO care for prisoners during the
ensuing six years, and he was to have
assumed charge today, but the heirs
of the Marsh estate, who held a Is
year lease, only five of which have ex-
pired, refused to permit Boswell to
take possession The whole matter is
horribly mixed. and the state board
is trying hard to fix things up. Secre-
tary of State Burdick, one of the mem
berS of the board and the leader of
the state gold-bug gang, has his
hooks in both contracts and he is
at a loss to know where he is at. From
present indications a big scandal will
result and several shady transactions
of Republican state officers will be
exposed.
