La Grange, Texas, April 1.-THE river
here rose last night about FIVE inches
and today has been on stand. leaving
it thirty feet yet above the low water
mark.
Since Wednesday large force has been
busy at the power house cleaning up the
plant, which was submerged eleven feet
by the food water. with a view OF resum-
ing the electric light service tonight;
but as the fall has not been sufficient by
twelve feet to reach and repair the
pumps the city will be in darkness for
quite q while yet All Of the fuel was
washed away from the plant. but II the
water falls enough to allow the working
OF the pumps. this viii be supplied BY

claim that today's results shows that
Mr.. Bailey's strength is as wide as the
State and as enthusiastic in one section as
In another.
The Chiffon forces exerted every pos
sible effort in Hill and Hunt counties.
The contests in both are taken as a fair
measure OF the relative strength of the
two candidates. Hunt is the biggest coun-
ty In Senator Chilton's own congressional
district, and the loss OF dt is felt more
keenly than any OF the others
No language can over-describe the feel
ings OF the Dallas Bailey men--they are
simply wild with Joy. Mr.. Bailey spoke
at Garland tonight and will come to Dali
las early tomorrow. 1t is unnecessary
to add that he will be received with lusty
and glad acclaim.
