Des Moines, Ia, March 22.-The Des
Moines river continued rising steadily
at this point till noon today, when it
began to recede slowly. From points
further up the river reports came in
dicating it began to recede last night.
This morning hundreds of people
were ready to move from their homes,
and many of them took their effects
to places of safety.
The levees along the low lands in
several places gave way. and the river
spread over the country. The water
late last evening compelled the street
railway company to abandon the regu-
lar engines having flooded the power
house; but another battery of boilers
had been fitted up and a smaller en-
CINE was connected and protected from
the advance of the waters, so that the
street car service was not interfered
with. The worst is now past, unless
the weather becomes warm very sud
denly, and starts the snow moving
again.
From Cherokee, where the floods have
been worse perhaps that any place in
the state, comes word that the water
in the Little Sioux is falling and the
railroads have sent out construction
trains to repair the grade and put in
temporary bridges where the old ones
went out. The loss of hay, grain and
movable property was very large.

When Speaker Reed called the house

WILL BE NO AUTOPSY
Funeral of Miss Cohen Set For
This Afternoon.
DECEASED WAS IN THE HABIT
OF USING LAUDANUM.
Took the Drug Occasionally to Dead
en- the Pain of Neuralgia, But It
Was Not Connected With Her
Death-The Girls Father Heard
From.

1t was learned yesterday that on Satur-
day afternoon Miss Eva Cohen, who was
found dead in her led at the Wey hotel
Sunday morning. had purchased an ounce
vial of laudanum. This strengthened the
theory that the young woman had COM
mitted suicide. Subsequent investigation,
however, served to disprove this again,
as it was learned she had been in the
habit of procuring this drug at regular
intervals.
Miss Cohen, among other ailments,
the purpose of -desslening the pain she
applied the poison.s She usually procured
the laudanum at the Knutsford drug
store. AT first the drug clerk. was very
cautious and questioned her closely. but
after having sold her the drug several
times he ceased to enquire for what
purpose it was to be used.
1t is safe to say that the laudanum had
no connection with the girls death. as
the condition of the body showed. Ply
sicians who viewed the remains declared
she could not have died from laudanum
poisoning.
An effort was made to secure an
autopsy. but the county refused to bear
the expense. 1t was then thought the
board of education might authorize il.
but also this was given up. The body
was embalmed early yesterday morning.
and it was doubtful anyway if an autopsy
would do any good after the preserving
liquids had been injected.
Manager Wey received word yesterday
from the ladys father. Louis Cohen, who
was located at Victor. Colo. He wired
back TO have the remains inferred at the
Jewish cemetery These instructions will
be followed out and the funeral will take
place at o'clock this afternoon from
Evans undertaking parlors on State
street. The arrangements have been
taken in charge by a number of promi-
nent Jewish ladies and the interment will
be at the Hebrew cemetery.

THE DEAD SLUGGER.
His Slayer Sent to Prison, Bail Being
Denied.

Philadelphia, March 22.-Deputy Cor
oner DUNCAN today held inquests in
the cases of Christian Kielnecker, who
died On Saturday after engaging in a
boxing bout with Frank Connolly, and
of Edward Gibbons. who died the same
day from the effects of a heart blow
delivered by Samuel S. Perry on Friday
night during bout at the Tenth Ward
Democratic club.
1t was testified that Kielnecker stum-
bled, and in falling struck his head on
a spike which projected from the floor.
The autopsy showed that the fall
broke an abscess which had formed
on the mans brain and that death re-
suited therefrom. Connolly was dis
charged.
In the Gibbons case, Peter Gillespie,
the referee; James ONeill, the second
for Gibbons; William Orr. the second
for Perry, and several others, stated
that it was not a brutal contest. DR..
Cattell, the coroner's physician, de-
clared that death was caused by hem
orrhage of the neck, nose and brain,
due to traumatic injuries"
The jury held Perry responsible and
the deputy coroner committed him to
prison without bail to await the action
of the grand jury.

Atlanta, Ca, March pa special to
the Evening Constitution from Airing
ton. Ca, says:
A cyclone struck this town today and
left behind it trail of death and dis
aster.
The high school building was blown
to pieces and from the wreck nearly a
hundred dead, dying and injured peo-
pie have already been taken. Among
the dead are:

Professor Covington. school teacher.
Professor Walker, teacher.
At least ten others will die, accord
ing to the hasty reports of the corps
of emergency physicians now caring
for the injured.
NOT ONE ESCAPED INJURY.
Professor Walker probably cannot
live, and Professor Covington is badly
injured. Not a single soul in the big
building escaped injury.
There was "a lull in the high winds
which had prevailed, giving some
promise of clear day.
Professor Covington went out to
look around and beheld a dark cloud,
well fringed with electricity, moving
rapidly in the direction of the school.
His trained eye at once told him there
was danger.
Hurrying the children into the build
ing for safety the roaring of the COM
ing cyclone was upon them before they
had time to think.
The storm gained in strength and
velocity and the building began to
shake and careen as if rocked in the
arms of a mighty force.
The building was wrenched into
fragments so that the pieces fell in
ward, and among the first struck were
Claude Roberts and Alice Putnam, who
were knocked into the insenSibility of
death at the first blow.
Little Willie McMurra had been
caught under the heavy timber and the
life was crushed out of him.
Kenneth Boynton was the next who
was seen vainly endeavoring to escape
from the death trap, but too late, for
