Bryap's Running Mnte.

Chicago, April 9.-RObert T. Pattison
of Pennsylvania for vice president is the
very latest thing in democratic national
slate-making. William Jennings Bryan's
staunchest supporters in the party's ma
tional organization make the suggestion.
The first hint heard here of the Bryan
Pattison combination came from a recent
visitor to Washington. Highest sources
of democratic information available in Chi
cago treat it in way that is tantamount
to confirmation.

over Fifty Lives Lost.

Dallas, Tex, April l0.-RepOrts received
from the flood sections show that more
than so lives have been lost, including
those at Austin. Many of the localities
where the lives were lost are off the rail
road and telegraph lines.
Wires in the southern section are in a
worse condition than ever before Rail
road traffic of the southern half of the
state is abandoned.
Austin, Tex, April l0-Reports from
Bastrop, Fayette and Wharton counties,
on the Colorado river below, are to the
effect that the full force OF the flood is

rapidly that the people are preparing to
desert their homes with all possible speed
to protect their lives
Reports from Bastrop state that II PEG

In Wharton and Fayette counties the
situation is even more grave and it is ex
pected that yesterdays flood in that see
ton will not only pile up the immense
property loss, but that the list of lives
lost will be considerable.

upon themselves the needless suffering
