Very Much ImDrOvcd-Thc
Relief Work.

Waco, Tex, April 30.-The flood sit

titute and suffering being nearly all
provided with wearing apparel and

mated the suffering to great extent.
The principal difficulty the commit
tee of organized charity who have the

are living in tents waiting to see if the
predicted overflow of the Brazos ma
