disastrous storm for several years in
this district occurred last night. The
streams and big river around here over
ran their banks and everything ahead
of them was swept to destruction The
reports come in that the two rivers,
Little and Big Brazos have met and
that help is needed. On hearing this
all the business houses closed up and
everybody went to the rescue of the
unfortunates. A number of lives have
been reported lost So far only five
bodies have been recovered, all being
negroes. A large number Of houses in
the lower part of the city are flooded.
The Mayor and citizens have provided
shelter and food for the destitute.
1t is impossible to get between the
two rivers to ascertain the true dam
age, but from observations the water
appears to be in the lowest place six
teen feet and in the highest twenty feet

OPPOSITE VIEWS.
Opinions Of Military Men In the
Field and Thinkers.

NEW YORK, July IA Herald spe-
clal from Manila via Hongkong, says:
Two opposite views of the Philippine
situation are held by those persons who
have followed the American campaign
with close attention.
First is the official military view.
According to this the situation is now
well in hand, and the campaign has
been as successful as possible
The natives are tired of the insur-
rection and are more friendly toward
the Americans than toward the insur-
gents. The insurgent army is made up
almost entirely Of brigands, who IAN
no longer be held together by their
leaders. The war will soon be over. it
is declared, if the wet season holds off.
The force of troops is sufficient for
the emergency. Business is picking up.
The disorganized insurrection depriv-
ed of its resources is held together at
present by the hope given the rebels
through the antiannexation movement
in the United States and the American
papers which reach here.
The insurgent leaders are actuated
solely by selfish personal ambitions.
The second view which is held by
military men in the field and leading
thinkers is that as the ability Of our
troops to drive the insurgents at will
has been proved, the suppression Of
the instruction depends upon the
ability of the men in authority to cope
with the situation, and not upon muz-
zling the American press.
The outlook at present is more
gloomy for speedy ending of the war
than ever before.
The method of making raids into the
country and then withdrawing, leav-
ing the friendly natives at the mercy
of the returning insurgents, has tend
ed to ALLEVIATE the population and not
materially to weaken the insurgents.
The organization Of the insurgents is
still good, and their resources are not
greatly impaired.
The failure this season to take the
railroads running through the valley
nando leaves to the enemy immense
resources, and fails to protect the in
terests of foreign merchants.
With the present methods of the war
with the Filipinos, they can continue
indefinitely. The only true method to
pacify the country is to garrison all
the important towns.
To do this more than twice the num-
Der of troops already here, including
the volunteers, are necessary, with sew
eral regiments of mounted cavalry.
Four thousand men being in the hos
pital, 4,So0 in the southern islands and
10000 in Manila, Cavite and small
garrisons, this leaves only 5000 men
for active campaigning.
This number is not sufficient, since
the troops in the north are in bad con-
dition, many Of the soldiers having ir-
ritated hearts, by reason Of overexer-
ton.
On account of the small number Of
troops available, new advances are
constantly required and frequent
changes of the exhausted regiments
There is great waste of time and en-
ergy of the men by long marches to
the front.
The non-combatants are more friend
~ toward the insurgents than toward
the Americans on account, mainly, OF
the petty tyranny Of the soldiers.

A Chicago paper calls attention
to the fact that the death ofla num-
ber of old line insurance men in
recent years has brought out the
curious fact that many of them car
ried large amounts of fraternal in
surance, although they spent a
greater portion oftheir time arraign-
ing organizations of this character.
Recently Adolph Meyer, an agent
of the Equitable, died, and it was
found that he carried over $4,000
insurance of this kind. Yet he was
one of the most bitter opponents in
the world of this form of protection.

Not the Old Members.

The Grand Recorder of Indiana
says: Think of net loss of $40 for
the first six months of '98 as COM
pared with net increase of 151
during the last six months of '9S.
The suspension rate of ALI per
cent. in the group of ages between
18 and "a was reduced to 24.39 per
cent, being a reduction of nearly
1S per cent. In the next group of
ages (25 to 29), reduced nearly "a
per cent; in the next nearly % per
cent, and so on in the remainder of
classes, with the exception of the
higher age, where the rate was in
creased a little over Al per cent.
The latter should demonstrate that
the old members are not being fro
zen out as was predicted when the
classified plan of assessments was
under discussion.

In military prisons an offender is some
times sentenced to carry cannon balls from
one place to another and pile them up all
day long. That is all. Perhaps it does not
seem very terrible but it soon wears his
life out 1t is practically death sentence,
and he knows it; he would rather be shot.
Many a sick man feels the same way about
the burden of disease that he is Juggling
back and forth from day to day. He would
as soon be down with a mortal disease. 1t
will come to that sooner or later.
A mans life can be dragged out by
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex-

giving it power to supply pure, healthy
blood, which drives out blood poisons and
dead tissues and builds up sound whole

The answer to my inquiry advised me to use

indigestion and liver complaint; at this time
two months had passed. In two or three days

There never was better time for
earnest, effective work in the Degree
of Honor than at the present time.
Its beneficiary system is in fine con-
dition. Its death rate is low, and
having the experience of the A. o.
U. w. to guide it, its results ought
to be all that can be asked. The
facts bear us out, for we believe it
is true that in every jurisdiction
where they have beneficiary de-
partment the comparison can be
made with favorable results to the
degree.
The membership of the A. o. U.
w. at the present time is about
800, 900, and as there must be one
beneficiary for each member, we
can safely state that there are at
least 100000 persons eligible to
membership in the Degree of Honor.
They may be cases where brothers
and sons, over age, are beueficiaries,
but for every case of that kind there
would he sisters, daughters aud
mothers who are not benefiiciaries,
but who are eligible to the degree,
in much larger numbers than We
find men as beneficiaries. The
chances are that the eligible MEM
bership in the Degree of Honor is
about three times as large as the A.
o. U. W., indicating that there is a
field Of say 100000 persons to work
in to build up the degree. If this
is true of the degree at large, it is
true of every locality, and if the
present membership will take this
idea as basis for their work, they
will find they have plenty Of ma
terial with which to build up the
Degree of Honor.
AS membership in the degree is
essential to the beneficiary system,
the first step toward receiving the
ultimate benefit is to become social
members, and thereafter application
may be made for beneficiary certifi-
cate. The association, as a social
proposition, is worth all it costs for
social membership, and if the bene'
ficiary is desired, it will be found in
every case safe, reliable and eco
nomical.-A. 0. u. w. Monthly.
