and struck his right foot. Only the fact
that he had started to step back saved
him, as the same thing had saved Leary.
Fortunately for Toward, the blow that
struck him was glancing one and tho
force of the timber at the time had been
broken. AS consequence he will not
lose any portion of his foot.
A couple of hours after Toward had
been taken from the mine Mike Beycrs
was buried beneath mass of rock and
earth in the West Colusa. Instead Of
finding dead body his fellow workmen
were surprised when they removed the
debris to find Beyers suffering only from
bruises. Like the other two men, he got
all these on his right side. His leg, side,
arm and face had some bad contusions.
He was taken to Murray & Freund's hos.
pital, where he is resting easily today.

Torrents Pouring Through
Breaks in BulWarks in
Arkansas Town.
NEGROES ARE IN HILLS
Driven to the Highlands
by the Rush of the
Waters.
by ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Memphis, Tenn, March so--in spite of
heroic work by hundreds of men, the
levee near Pecan point, 40 miles north
is reported to have given way early to-
day and vast column OF water is run
ming through crevasse 400 feet wide.
Pecan point is 20 miles north of Trice's
landing, where the first break occurred,
and the additional flood being let into the
St. Francis basin will cause the waters to
rise more rapidly through the low lands.
The reports OF the suiferings of the peo-
pie at Marion are believed to be some
what exaggerated. Every opportunity has
been given those remaining to move out
of the flooded district, but they decline
TO leave. There is some talk OF dynamit-
ing the levee opposite Marion, but so far
no action in this direction has been
taken.
Chief Engineer Parr Of the St. Francis
board left today on the government
steamer Minnetonka for Pecan point and
the levees from that point will be closely
watched. Another break is reported at
North Helena, where the waters are rush
Ing through an eight-foot gap in the small
levee, flooding the district and driving
many negroes to high lands. Residents
along the river south of here are becom-
ing alarmed in anticipation Of the rise to
come when the waters begin to fall at
Memphis. The river here today continues
TO rise slowly, the gauge marking 40 feet
This is rise of one-tenth in ~ hours.
The railroad situation on the west side
of the river is unchanged. No trains are
moving and it will be several days before
the waters recede so the tracks can be put
in shape for traffic.
Greenvlle, Miss, March ao.-Thc pro-
lection dyke at Leland, Ark, is rapidly
slipping into the river, and it is now prob
able that the river will seek a new chan
nel leaving Greenville in the interior.
The situation is most grave.
The river is four feet above the 1907
mark and rising at the rate Of half foot
a day. Heavy rain fell during the night,
which will retard work on the dyke and
add to the danger. The levce from Lunar
to Leland is seeping badly, but the en-
gineers do not regard this with apprehen-
sion.
Helena, Ark, March 2o.--Two or three
small breaks have occurred in the North
Helena levee which protects the northern
suburbs. The water pouring through the
breaks in the levee and over the top of
the embankment will soon fill the entire
basin and cover the territory from Walker
street to the hill. Walker street levec,
which protects the city proper on the
north, is positively in no danger.
New Orleans March ao.-The river reg
istered 1916, the maximum reached during
the food. Except for the break at Bog
ceres all the levees have held in this dis
trict.

Is for the purpose OF arranging for the
formation of such q committee
1t is the desire OF all interested in the
matter that all organizations in the city

do Its part toward the formation of such

that the labor organizations should be

that all interests and all citizens be well

into the park TO do absolutely as he
wishes. He wants to be alone, or as
near alone as il is possible for him TO
be, and his wishes are to be obeyed In
every particular. There will be no
crowd tagging at his heels, no sight
seers crowdng in upon him."
The party which goes into the park
will fare exactly as do the soldiers who
patrol the reserve. It's members, the
president included, will get no better
shelter than the little cabins erected for
the shelter Of the patroIline troopers
Each little cabin contains a bunk, a
stove, a supply Of fuel, some bacon,
beans, coffee, tea and few other neces-
safies. Crude, bare and unadorned
these little cabins are mighty comfort

General Miles Report.

The old and distinguished
American General Miles who
has grown gray in the service
of his country and who has late
ly been sent by his government
to inspect the armies in the
Philippines and in other parts
of the world, has just made
his report to the government,
which divulges some very grave
charges against some of the of
ficers and men in the Orient,
which report is being very de-
cidedly condemned by the par
tisan press for his telling some
disagreeable truths, as he saw
and heard it.
If it was not intended that the
General was to learn and make
known what he discovered why
send him to our foreign possess
ions on his late mission?
That conduct unbecoming a
true soldier or gentleman has
been enacted in the Philippine
Islands, is unquestionable, and
it should receive the most hear
ty condemnation of every SOL
der, and every American citi-
zen. It should be fully under
stood that the American uni
form covers a brave, chivalrous

Telephone "RubberIn9"

A telephone is built on scien-
tific principles and isas delicate
as a watch and should be treat
ed and handled as you do the
latter. One particular thing is
that you do not rubber" when
other parties are talking, as
this creates chemical action in
the batteries which is continual
ly weakening them and in time
will render the phone useless
as a talking instrument. Not
only does it effect the phone in
this way but it oftentimes packs
the carbon in the transmitter.
"Rubbering" while one is ring
ing also has a very bad effect
on the receiver. The receiver
should be handled carefully and
should be taken from hook and
replaced with care.
This much talked of rubber
ing" is not only detrimental to
the phone but a great annoy
ance to the operator and parties
on the lines. For instance A
and B are "rubbering" while
the operator is ringing C, caus-
ing the ring to become weak,
changing the call, and probably
summoning D. A mistake has
been made by receivers being
down and all the blame is gen
erall shouldered onto the oper-
ator, while the person who got
the call and the one who did
not get it and the one sending
it are all inconvenience.
The central office knows
when a party is "rubbering"
and such practice does not add
to the credit of the subscriber.
"Rubbering" is a bad practice
and should be stopped. Lone
Tree Reporter.
No lady or gentleman will
listen to the talking that is go
ing on over any telephone line
when not addressed to them. -

building called at the Office Of
Superintendent shortly after a

handsome May basket. TIE
basket is woven of raffia and
reeds. The work was done by
the children in this room, every
one having some part in the
making of the basket and fill
ing it with flowers. The work
was so carefully supervised by
the teacher that the basket is
without flaw, and it will serve
as a model of handiwork in the
manual training department of

he could have been had it been

There came near being a trag-

tion in this city this morning, a
COW old enough to have better

being the principal characters.
Just as the engine of the fast
mail started to cross the Sixth
street crossing the COW stepped
in front of the engine. Brinnie
was piled in a heap on the pilot
and when the engine stopped it
required the services of several
men to extricate her. Although
considerably bruised it is though
there will not be a fatal termi-
nation of the mishap.
