Mailany, who was drowned east of the
Driving park while trying to tow a

that five had been drowned at Valley

report was without foundation.
Worst Believed Over.
The present indications is that the
worst is now oyer and that the water
will steadily recede. 1t will take many
days, however, for conditions in the
flooded districts to permit return of
the inhabitants.

" Des Moines, July 11.-Hundreds of
homeless flood sufferers spent the
night in school house yards and down
town parks without blanket to COW
.er them. Some had to beg for food,
although every possible effort is be-
ing made to provide for them.
+ The charitable societies and city Of
ficials are becoming better organized
today and it is believed the wants of
the sufferers will be generally met.
Neither the Des Moines nor the Rae
coon rivers have receded perceptibly.
1t is believed the situation in the
Hooded district cannot be materially
renewed for several days and fear is
expressed of an epidemic of malaria
and typhoid fever.
An estimate of the damage is prac-
tically impossible, but it is expected
that it will reach $1,000,0OO.
i, Highest Since Flood of 1851.
The Des Moines river Yesterday

the flood of 1851. the water guage at

inches higher than the high water
mark mark of 1892. After 10 o'clock the
twater began to recede about an inch
fanhhour. At o'clock last evening it
stood at 2O.9 feet, at 9 o'clock at FOG
and at 10 o'clock at .2O.4..
The submerged area within the city
limits covers several square miles
The South Side was submerged ex.
cept Sevastopol. The southeast bot
toms were under water from Raccoon

Emma Nevada.

Nine Emma Nevada was once called by
Ambrose Thomas 1.-The only Mignon.
When Nevada dies" he said. "Mignon
will die" This fact will most likely be
realized. unless some young singer arises
to take her place. for she is one OF the
last Of the great school to which the
operas of Thomas. Bellini, Delites, Meyer
beer and Donnizetti belong. 1t is of this
style of work the New York Tribune re-
ferred when it said. in review of her
last appearance in New York; "Such min
ature work has never been heard here
for years past as Nevada gave us on
Sunday night. and by miniature we mean
the rounding off and finishing and color
ing OF tone to it's finest and most delicate
points. Madame Nevada is entitled. from
the character of her work, to be ranked
among the best of living singers"
Madame Nevada will be at the Jefferson
Theatre next Friday night.
Pablo Cassal, whom Madame Nevada is
instroducing to the American public this
season, comes of distinguished Spanish
lineage and traces his ancestry back for
centuries. He is the first of his family
to become a professional musician but
he is quite proud of the fact. He wears
the insignia of the order of the Cavaliers
of Santiago. with which he was decorated
by the Queen Regent of Spain. who has
been his patroness since he began his
studies at the Conservatory of Madrid
The superb Guarnerius violoncello on
which he plays at all of his concerts is
also gift rom the Spanish Queen. He
values this latter gilt more than anything
else he possesses and never allows it to
go out of his sight. When travelling it
occupies a berth in the sleeping car near
its master.

Blanche Walsh.

Much interest attaches to the appear
ance here at the Jefferson Theatre next
Wednesday night Of Blanche Walsh and
her company in H. J. w. Dams play of
modern Partisan life. La Madeleine"
The piece is said to supply an intense
emotional part for Miss Walsh and to
exhibit some excellent and original char
acter types In the other roles. The sup
porting company contains the names of
some very well known American actors
and actresses and the piece is said to be
staged with lavishness. La Madeleine"
was recently produced in New Orleans
and the Times-Democrat in commenting
on the performance, said:
Blanche Walshs new play, La Made
leine," should prove an unquestioned sue
cess If the manner in which 1t was re-
ceived by a large and discriminating au-
dience of first nighters can be taken to
mean anything. Enthusiastic and Oft
repeated curtain calls followed every act
dncluding the LAST and not only Miss
Walsh, but the author, H.. j. w. DAM

tain in the third act.
