FLOOD SUFFERERS AGAIN IN
FEARFUL STATE.
LEVEES GIVE WAY TWICE
Situation in Arkansas More Grave
Than at Any Other Time During
Flood-R efugees Continue to Ar
rive in Memphis in Large Numbers
The Situation Elsewhere.

Memphis, March 21.-The feeling of
hope produced Thursday night by the
Mississippi river coming to a stand at
this point was dispelled yesterday by
two additional breaks in the st. Fran
ces levees north of the first crevasse
at Tierce's Landing, Ark, and grave
reports that are being received from
Mississippi points, as well as by
slight rise here. Yesterday the ST. Fran
ces levees gave way at Randoll Shot
and Shawanee village, Arkansas. The
situation in Arkansas is more grave
than at any time during the flood. Re
lief measures have been taken, but
must be for several days completely
inadequate. The long line of levees
that guard the river front of the Mis-
sissippi and protect the vast and fer
tile delta region of that state and
have thus far stood firm against the
flood are reported in a critical condi-
ton at many points, and the news of
disasters from that coufntry will not
be surprising.
The most encouraging feature last
night was that falling stage is re-
ported from ST Louis, Cairo and other
points. Refugees are continuing to ar
rive in great numbers and facilities
are entirely too limited to care for
them In response to a telegram ask
ing for aid, Secretary Root has all
swered that he will supply all needed
tents as well as provisions for flood
sufferers.

was passed by the assembly. 1t is
| a sweeping measure anu was drafted
at the instance of pioneer Eau Claire
druggist who found himself unable
to buy from certain wholesalers be-

| tail druggists organization. The Kin

to require farmers to work 10 hours
day instead of in road making
was killed. II to %. Mr.. Dahl thought
the bill a good one-that farmers
ought to work 10 hours, and Mr..
Peterson, Mr.. Morgan aud Mr.. Baker
argued along the same line while
Messrs. Benson, Carberry, Chandler
and Fridd spoke in opposition, some
holding that farmers could not do
their chores and put in 10 hours on
the highway and others, like Mr.
Benson, insisting that at such hard

that Mr.. Baker would regard it so If
he only shoveled 4 hours. Mr.. Rays

poll tax all persons who go to the
polls and vote but making the tax SO
on all male adults who neglected that
duty was killed and the governors
veto of the bill forbidding the importa-
ton of western hc1ses into the state
unless accompanied by clean bill of
health was unanimously sustained.
The assembly evidently feels full
confidence in county boards, because
it refused by an overwhelming vote
to reconsider the vote by which it
had ordered to a third reading the

appropriations not exceeding $4,000

The presidents report of the opera
tons Of the company during the past
year is as follows:
A comparison of this years financial
report with that made to you a year
ago, will show q gratifying increase in
the business done, and profits realized.
There has also been a substantial in
crease made in the deposits in the Saw
ings Department. The Board greatly
desires to add to this feature of its
what has been said on similar occa-
sions, as to the help expected from each
stakeholder in this particular.
l specially commend to your atten-
ton the Auxiliary Savings Banks
adopted by your company, and which
should be in the house and office of
every stockholder. See the treasurer
and secure one of these little helps, at
once.
During the year about $4,000 worth
of our real estate holdings have been
board. 1t is expected that at no dis
tant date we will have sold all of such
investments 1t is the fixed policy of
the board to dispose of such holdings
as satisfactory prices can be obtained.
During the year there has not been a
foreclosure made or any property taken
for debt. Every loan made has been
well secured, and I do not know of a
loan on the books of the company con-
corning which there can be any ap-
prehension felt, as to it's security.
This result can only be obtained and
maintained by the watchfu1 care and
prompt attention of those to whom you
have trusted the investment and man
agement of your capital to this faith
fulness and care on the part of the
directors and officers 1 bear cheerful
attestation.

A communication will be addressed
to the County Commissioners in which
it will be asked that some appropria-
ton be made so that a room can be
fitted up in the county Jail where per-
sons, more particularly white women,
who are awaiting an examination for
lunacy, or some offense against the
state, can be kept.
There are no accommodations at the
Jail now for insane persons, and the
county has no matron. ]. r. Saussy,
Esq, called upon Mayor Myers at the
City Exchange yesterday and called
his attention to the condition of af-
fairs that exist at present. Mr.. Saussy
was accompanied by Mr.. Pleasant A.
Stovall, and the need of better ac-
commodations at the Jail was discussed
at some length. The case of the Miss
es Hartman was cited as an example
of how badly the county needs the
services of white matrOn.
Mayor Myers agreed with the gentle
men and called their attention to the
fact that not long ago Council asked
the County Commissioners to Join with
the city and employ matron who
could serve both in the Jail and at the
station house. Nothing was ever done
about the matter by the county, how
ever. The Hartman sisters are made
as comfortable as possible by Chief
Deputy Sheriff Sweeney, but that Off
Ger has no white woman who he can
press into service as a matron, and
he has no fund with which to employ
one. Mr.. Saussy will direct the at
fnV ,f InA .s.4-
condition of affairs that now exist and
will ask that something be done.
