|IHE Beers WERE 100 SWIFT HEAVY FLOODS IN TEXAS
THE LOSS WILL BE ENORMOUS.
Had the Heaviest Rains on Record
All the Rivers Are Overfowing-a
Five Million Dollar Loss-Ask
for Aid.

Waco, Tex, April 30.-The flood situa-
tion remains practically unchanged. Con-
ditions could hardly be worse. Every
available wagon, dray and float was
brought into use and the entire night was
spent in moving hundreds of families out
of the submerged district. There are
no new names added to the list of fatal
tiles, but reports OF persons missing and
who were last seen in the overlooked Sec
ton are numerous. A call for aid, sign
ed by the mayor and many prominent
citizens, has been sent out.
The local weather bureau gives the rain
fall for the past "a hours as 4O5, the
heaviest on record. 1t was believed that
the worst of the overflow was at an end
until the government bureau posted the
following bulletin today:
Excessive rains throughout the Brazos
drainage basin will probably cause de-
cided rise in the Brazos river, overflow
ing much low land from McLennan coun-
ty to the gulf during the next 10 days.
Please warn residents along the river"
Much anxiety is now felt over the Bra
EOS overflow, and runners have been sent
to notify the farmers in the lowlands.
The flood yesterday was not alone con-
fined to this county.
Temple and Bolton, 80 miles south, re-
ported vast damage by overflows, the
rainfall at Temple being 5.94, by far the
heaviest ever known.
Specials from Bolton say: "Not since
1852 has this city and vicinity been visit
ed by such a downpour of rain as fell
here during the past two days. The Sa-
lido river broke all previous high water
marks and destroyed the fine iron wagon
bridge at this place. At Summersville
the school house was carried away and
the dam washed out. The large steel
bridge at Little River, on the main line
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road is
wrecked. The electric plant is flooded
and the city is in total darkness.
No Signs of Receding.
Dallas, Tex, April 3O--The floods show
no signs of receding On the contrary,
most of the Texas rivers are rising. "A
Fort Worth telegram at 10 o'clock says
that Trinity river has overfowed, doing
much property damage.
The telegraph lines of both companies
are gone south of Waco, isolating more

Insurance People Hit Hard.

Ottawa, Ont, April 3O.-Although two
days have passed since the confagration
which practically wiped the city Of Hull
out of existence and devastated large
part of the city of Ottawa, there is yet
no means OF knowing the exact amount
of the loss or the insurance. The total
loss is still conservatively placed at about
$l5,O00,OOO. E. B. Eddy is still the heav-
lest loser in property, and has only $780,
600 insurance. One estimate gives the in
surance loss as follows: In the British
companies, $2,5OO,OOO: American COM
panies, $l,25O,OO0 total, $5,OOOOOO. 1t
will be some days, however before any
accurate figures can be had.
Hundreds of people from the surround
ing district and many from distance WIS.,
tied Ottawa to see the ruins today. The
death list of seven persons remains the
same as yesterday.

ENGLISH IN HOT PURSUIT.
They Have Plenty Of TroOps-Ought
to Wipe the Beers Out II They
Overtake Them-Several Trans
ports Have Arrived.

London, April 30.-The total absence Of
war office news from the seat of war in
South Africa, it is presumed, indicates
that operations are progressing, which it
is deemed prudent to keep secret. So
far as the situation in the southeastern
part of the Free State can be worked out
from the latest dispatches the main body
of the Beers, composed Of the forces re-
Gently holding Thabanchu, Leeuw Kop
and Dewetsdorp, is retiring, probably with
a view to joining in the neighborhood of
Ladybrand, the commands from the vicin-
ity of Wepener who, according to a dis
patch from Aliwalnorth, dated April %,
made good their retreat to Ladybrand.
The main body of the Beers is being fol-
lowed by Generals Hamilton, French,
Brabant and Hart, while General Rumble
also is on the spot.
The British thus have an overwhelm-
ingly superior force and ought to wipe out
the Beers if they succeed in overtaking
them and bringing them to bay.
1t may be assumed that the Beers are
TO the eastward of line drawn from
Thabanchu to Wepener. The retreat, it
seems, is being carried out without fight
ing, which indicates that the Beers have
good start and the dispatches say that
they are not hampered much by transport
and leave no visible wheel tracks behind
them on the veldt. This initiates against
the probability of their being overtaken
and forced to decisive action. While
it is possible that news of such battle
may come at any moment the chance
seems even that the retreating comman-
dos may get away without being forced
to turn and fight. 1t is within the range
of possibilities that Lord Roberts, with
out waiting for the outcome of these
maneuvers may begin his advance north
ward. This may be the secret the censor
has been so jealousy guarding. The out
come of this interesting situation can not
long be delayed.
Smelling and sniping continue about
Warrenton, apparently Intellectually, as
no casualties have been reported on either
side.
A special dispatch from Biera, dated
April 20, states that the dispatch of Cen
eral Carrington's division to Rhodesia is
proceeding as rapidly as circumstances
| will permit. Seven transports have al
ready landed troops and stores.
Firing Heard Near Thabanchu.
Maseru, April 3O.-Firing was heard
in the direction of Thabanchu for some
hours. Many Beers are retreating from
Wepener and Dewetsdorp, proceeding by
crossroads instead of the main roads near
the Basutoland border. 1t is reported
that they are in miserable condition,
diseased and depressed. Many have de-
serted and are hiding on the farms. The
main body was in camp last night near
Leeuw river mills. They were unham
pered by wagons, using pack holders most
ly for purposes Of transportation. 1t is
believed that most of the Tmnsvaalers
have gone north. They told the natives
that they had been called away by Pres
ident Kruper

THE IDoL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey In America
and England Recommends stuart's
Dyspepsfn Tablets.

rhe Most Popular Jockey In Amerfc'
and England Recommends Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets.
No jockey ever appealed SO
so strongly to public favor as Tod
Sloan.
He has achieved more than his
most noted predecessors ever at
temped and stands in a class by
himself.
Not satisfied with his successes
in his native country, he went to
England and now his fame as a
successful horseman is on the tip
OF every tongue not only in this
country and England, but in every
section of the globe where racing
has found favor.
When Tod first went to England
his temerity was openly laughed
at, but the little American played
skittles with his English rivals
and his victories made all Eng
land gasp.
Having the stamp of royal ap-
proval, society both at home and
abroad "lionize" him and he is
feted and petted to an extent that
would turn an ordinary mortals
head.
The great jockey was in such de-
E1and socially and dined and
wined to such an extent that it
was feared his health would give
way. Too much society and the
nervous strain of racing told on
him.
A two weeks trip to America
made him acquainted with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and their re-
markedly restorative effects on a
depleted digestive apparatus and
he recommended them in unstint-
ed terms to a friend, saying STU
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are the
best thing l know of for keeping
the stomach in condition and ap-
petite in good repair
Thousands of former dyspeptics
can vouch for the truth of Tod
SLAMS words, as "Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets" have become house
hold word in America, and few
families are without them. One
or two taken after meals keep the
stomach sweet by causing prompt
and healthy digestion of the food.
Perfectly healthy people use
them after heavy dinners to keep
their good health and to make
sure that no i'll effects will follow
an unusually hearty meal.
Your druggist will tell you or
your doctor either that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are composed
only of digestive ferments, Ascep-
tic Pepsin, Hydrastis, fruit acids,
ETC., and for the strong stomach as
well as the most delicate, consti-
tute a safeguard against indiges-
ton and stomach troubles.

The managers of the Wheeling base
ball team are trying to secure the
grounds of August Breitenstein on
South Broadway, for a park. These
grounds are very available for such
purposes and the managers have done
well in selecting such territory. The
management, it is said, will play about
half of the week day games On these
grounds, and also Sunday games. This
is a wise conclusion of the managers
and will insure high-class base ball
for both sides of the river. 1t is said
that some will object to Sunday ball
games, but this is hardly probable, as
many of the best citizens prefer that
the people go to a place where no in
toxicating drinks are sold and that
the public see nothing but plain sport;
also that it will keep the people home,
as one good citizen stated that he
would prefer the people to go to a ball
game than to park where they would
drink beer and come home drunk. The
people would do we'll to encourage this
game on this side of the river.
