ANOTHER DISASTROUS FLOOD In TEXAS
The Colorado River Ten Feet Higher Than Ever Before
Known-Trinty River Also Out of Its Banks.

AUSTIN Tex, Sept. 24-Goy. Sayers
wired tonight to all points south of here
warning notices that the most terrific
food in the history of Colorado river,
which flows by this city, is now surging
down the mountain gorges to the north
west of here, and is expected at this
place by night. The warning was sent
out by Gov. Sayers in response to the fol-
lowing telegraphic warning:
'.Goldthwaite, Sept A.-To Gov. sayers:
Notify all towns on Colorado river, and
have towns notify country points that
river Is ten feet higher than ever before
known, and is stiIl rapidly rising. Very
urgent. Phil II. Clements,
''State Representative.
HAS RISEN IS FEET.
The river has been rising rapidly at
Austin since o'clock this afternoon, and
reports from Goldthwaite at O'Clock
tonight say that water is still rapidly
rising there. The rise at that point was
reported at dark Along the Colorado
watershed very heavy rains have fallen
during the past four days and the rise re-
ported coming down now is twenty-five
feet higher than the one that broke
the Austin dam and wrecked the city s
light and power plant last April. 1t IS
expected that the advance of this great
rise will sweep by Austin about midnight,
and parties in the Iowlands TO the south
of the city, and all points reached by
either telegraph or telephone were COM
municated with by the governor with the
warning to escape before the food ar
riyes. Great alarm is felt as to the re-
suit of the rise
Gov. Savers left here tonight for Gal
vaston to inspect the worn being done
there by the various relief committees.

WANT SMALL BILLS.


Assistant Secretary Vanderslip Con-
fers with New York Bankers.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Frank A. Van
derlip, assistant secretary of the treas
ury, conferred with bankers in this city
today with reference to supplying the
extraordinary demand for small currency.
While what is known as hand to hand
money is always rather scarce at this
season, the supply of $40 and $5 bills
is now wholly inadequate. The subtreas-
ury has had great piles of soiled or
mutilated currency turned in for redempt-
ion today. After conferrlng with the
bankers this afternoon Mr. Vanderlip said
that he had ordered $500, 900 in $40 gold GER
tificates to be shipped to New. York from
Washington at once That, he thought,
would relieve the situation and supply
the banks with class of money that
they did not have He added that he
thought the next step would be to supply
small denominations at the subtreas-
ury Bankers were preparing today
for heavy October disbursements One
of the largest institutions, having hun
dreds Of out OF town accounts, reported
a. great mass of notes on hand for collec-
ton. Banks are still using quantities of
bank notes for interior currency demands
One large bank today had very few Of
Its own notes on hand, and reported
great difficulty in keeping out what extra
circulation 1t had ordered at the time
that the new currency law made possible
greater expansion.

all the persons who had sought refuge
there. eight were mangled corpses, while
the other five were badly injured. Paul
Gatzke, owner OF the place, was badly
injured. He was dragged out In time to
see the helpers pull out his son, dead and
disagured.
One by one the bodies were found. and
after two hours work, it was learned
that the death list numbered eight.
Some idea of the terrific velocity of the
wind may be gathered when it is stated
that the compact, solid brick building
was leveled in a second. The wind struck
it and the structure simply fell to pieces
The other dwellings, most of them
frame, escaped with varying degrees oe
damage. Some roofs were blown of. win
dows blown in and several barns were
completely destroyed and the fragments
scattered all over the town. There were,
however, no dwellings completely de-
stroyed with the exception of the saloon,
and now people are recalling the cyclone
at New Richmond, where the most sub
stantial buildings suffered tie worst.
MR.. WAITETS DEATH.
Henry Waite is one of the prosperous
farmers of Deerfield, and leaves a wife
and three children to mourn his sad end
ing. He was about forty years of age,
was nominated on the Republican ticket
for representative and would have made
a noble one He was honest and upright
and loved by all who knew him.
The storm was a fierce one while it last
ed. A horse was picked up and carried
three blocks and dropped and not hair
hurt. The storm struck again about
three miles from town. took the rocf off
the barn owned by John Hanson. There
were six horses which escaped without
being hurt. Trees were twisted off the
ground as though they were pieces OF
paper. The damage is estimated TO be
about $4,000. Morristewn has hard luck.
It was partly destroyed by fire last jan
uary, followed by one in June. There
are now only five business places left.

BIG DEMAND FOR MONEY.
TREASURY PRESSED FOR CUR
RENCY TO FACILITATE MOVE
MENT OF CROPS
INCREASE SHOWN OVER 1899
Gold Certificates Issued by Subtreas-
uries at Various Points I'm Ex-
change for Gold Deposits
at New York.

WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-The pressure
for currency for moving the crops is
beginning to be felt. The issues of gold
certificates by the treasury at various
points in the South and West, in e1-
change Of deposits for gold in the New
Yark subtreasury by banks on behalf
of their country correspondents, are al
ready 81, 100000 more than at the same
time last year. These exchanges have
reached $4,945,00O of which all but $780,
600 has been in September. New Or
leans has taken s., 3,795,o00 in the new gold
certificates; ST. Louis $750O0O and Chi
cago 100000. These are not the only
exchanges being made in New York and
Washington, in order to get currency
into the country districts. A shipment
of 100000 in small silver certificates has
just been made to ST. Louis in return for
an equal amount of gold coin surrender
ed to the New York subtreasury.
Gold certificates are also being received
at New York in exchange for the pay
ment of gold coin at New Orleans. New
Orleans has received this month nearly
100000 in small notes of various classes.
y.
The treasury is refusing to issue silver
certificates and other small notes at in
terror points in exchange for gold sur
rendered to the subtreasury in New
York, because the gold is not needed to
strengthen the reserve. The policy of
shipping notes from Washington to in
terror points in exchange for gold at New
York was adopted when the gold. reserve
was low. because the banks proated by
the express rate on the currency in one
direction. and often directed their New
York agents to deposit tho gold in order
to obtain the benefit.
A severe pressure for currency is not
expected by the treasury officials be-
cause of the great increase in the avail
able supply which has been made with
in the past year. The treasury paid out
in premiums on bonds under the refunding
law $3S, ,165, ,0S3, and has paid in redemption
of the old two per cent bonds under the
recent call of Secretary Gage, $40, ,067, ,150.
These two items Of more than S53, 900, 900
have been exclusive of the ordinary ex-
penses of the government
The August statement of the collections
of internal revenue shows that during
that month the receipts from all sources
amounted to $685., 716, which is an in
crease over the month of August last
year of s., 1,174,F51

clone which swept over Morristown, a
small village six miles east of this place,
on the Minneapolis & st. Louis road, this
afternoon.
BRICK CRUMBLED FIRST.
The cyclones fury was over in few
minutes, leaving the little village a
wreck, and, strange to say, little damage
was done except to the brick saloon, the
most solidly built structure In the place.
1t was about five O'Clock when the peo-
pie of Morristown first saw a lurid, green
ish tinted cloud to the southeast, and
as they watched it it grew rapidly and
seemed to be advancing at a great speed.
Cry of Cyclone" went up, and every
one rushed for the nearest and most ef-
fective shelter.
PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE.
The eight men who were killed ran
into the saloon, forgetting that wooden
