The Stricken Monarch Probably
Nearing the End of Life,
HIS VIOLENT oUTBURsTs RETURN

1t Had Been Expected by His Physi-
clans That He Would Become Quiet
and Tractable and Imposslve to His
Surroundings-Imag lie Can Fly.
Munich, April 6.-The condition of the
insane King Otto of Bavaria has sud
denly become worse, and 1t is feared
that he is dying. The condition Of the
unfortunate monarch has been kept as
close a secret as possible, and of late
it had been thought he would become
quiet and tractable and impassive To-
his surroundings His physicians had
even expected that, unless a blood yes
sci on the brain should burst, he might
reach an advanced age. This improve
ment in his mental condition was so
marked year ago that a proposal to
declare his reign closed and to crown
Prince Luitpold, the regent as king of
Bavaria was definitely abandoned on
the advice of Emperor William and the
kings Of SaXony and Wurtemburg.
Within the last three months he has
relapsed into his old violent state; his
lucid intervals have become less fire.

The Flood Was SO Quick aud Thor
ough That Not Pound of Provi-
sions of Any Sort Is For sale In the
Town-All Must BE Fed by Charity.
Shawneetown, Ills, April 6.-Twenty-
three known dead, a possibility that
the list may reach 80, 1900 people in
actual need of the necessares of life,
ZOO people homeless, and damage to the
amount of 100000 is the net result of
the flood which swept through Shaw
neetown late Sunday afternoon Not
one of the bodies have been recovered,
and it is not likely that they will be
until the waters subside, which will
be in ten days or a fortnight.
There is no danger of further damage
to the town unless more storms set
in, and even then it is difficult to see
how matters can be made worse than
they now are. The entire town is
buried under 10 to Is feet of water, with
the exception of the houses on the en-
bankment Immediately fronting the
Ohio river. All of these have water in
the cellars, and most of them are flood
ed to the second story. The water be-
gan to fall yesterday.
The levee on the north side of the
town broke, sweeping what is known
as the First, Second and Third wards
clean of all buildings. All of the peo-
pie who were drowned met their fate
in the First and northern part of the
Second, nearest the break There is a
large semi circular dyke to the south
of the town, enclosing it on that side
as the broken dyke enclosed it on the
north. Down the edge of this dyke
and in the town proper is a tangled
mass of trees, shrubs and brush wood.
Into the curve formed by the southern
dyke the bodies were carried by the
flood, and all of them are supposed to
be scattered along the southern dyke,
which is nearly a mile in extent from
the western end of the curve to the
eastern end.
The flood at the time the damage was
caused and the people were drowned
was not over three feet in depth. 1t
rushed in with such violence, however,
that all people who were caught waist
deep in the stream were hurled to-
gether and smothered before they could
rise. AS an example of the speed with
which the flood came, 1t may be men
toned that Mrs. Charles Pillow had
just removed her dress, for the purpose
of putting on a new gown when the
alarm was given. Before she could don
the new dress the water was six inches
deep on the parlor floor Warned by
the shouts of her husband she grasped
her baby and ran for the unbroken
portion of the dyke, distant but a few
feet. Before she could reach it the
water was knee deep, and she was
thrown to the ground and would have
been drowned but for her husband.
The flood was so quick and so thor
ough in it's work that not merchant,
a butcher, a baker, dry goods man or
any dealer in any of the other neces-
saries of life was able to save any por-
tion of his stock. The consequence is
that today in Shawneetown there is
not loaf of bread a pound of meat
or an ounce of drugs that can be
bought with money. There is abso-
lutely nothing in the town for sale
Charles Carroll the richest man in
| Gallatin county, was obliged to stand in
line at the relief boat and receive food
for his family from the contributions
