Farms.
Beaumont. Texas. April S0.--Reports
have been received from the communities
along Hillebrandt and Taylors bayou to
the effect that the extraordinary rainfall
OF Friday night spread sheet OF water
over all of the farms of that section. The
rainfall there was equally as heavy as vt
was in Beaumont, and In addition high
tides in the gulf and lake prevented the
flood waters from flowing on through the
bayous and their tributaries. resulting in
a backwater that was both dangerous and
damaging On some of the rice farms along
the bayou it is said the water reached a
depth of two feet and stood at that deptf
until the tides receded and permitted the
water TO flow out. Some of the farms were
sill under water Sunday afternoon, but it
was flowing off rapidly and the floods have
doubtless disappeared To-Day.
Damage resulting from the flood will be
considerable, but It cen not yet be esti-
mated. The water. together with heavy
fall of hail. ruined such garden truck and
crops as were growing. and some residences
were Hooded. while others were consider
ably damaged by the hail. No loss of stock
Is reported. and the water did not get
sufficiently high to jeopardize lives a.

Nine Nevada, the we'll known prIma

concert instead of having sthc sustaining

Her first number on the programme last
night was the Bell Song. from Lakme.

full vibrant tones with the light. soft,
echo strokes of the CLOTHS was divine. She
also gave highly dramatic example Of the
effect called in artistic vocalization mar
tillo.
Her two numbers, a. and b., were Rus
sian song, whose title is found TO be quite
unspellable, which may seem strange after
one is told that the composers name is
a simple little thing like Tschackong; and
b. was Taubert's VogeI i'm Waldo bird in
the woods, and to an appreciatiye ear no
feathered songster could surpass the sing
ing of Nine Nevada in this.

critic TO say that this delightful song has
been heard in Houston many times more
effectively and touchlngly rendered than by
Nine. Nevada III fact this artist does NOT
excel in the ballad style.
After singing the Shadow Dance from,
Dinorah quite exquisltely, Nine. Nevada
showed her appreciation of the vociferous
applause OF the audience by seating herself

To the Editor of The Post.
Richmond, Texas, April 2s-In your
paper today there appears report that
the 'Brazos rose about ten feet since yes

deal of unintentional harm This report
could be divided by three and be nearer
correct. On account of so much rain the
farmers here and elsewhere on the Brazos
are very much behind with their work and
need all the labor available. but these en-
aggerated reports are calculated to drive

in the town. As yet the country has

most into sp.irters. The colored Bnp-
fist church also was leyeled to the ground.
Quite a number of residences we're lifted
off the blocks and wrecked. The livery
stable front, bakery front and two store
house fronts were blown off. Such prop
erty as windmills and shade trees is
nearly completely destroyed. The wild
est excitement existed all over town.
Several families left their homes to hunt
shelter from the wind and rain. As thu
storm Gained down. the thunder burst
loud and often and the lightning played
wildly over the town and the scene was
anything but pleasant one.
