The Masons are coming in by the
hundreds now and by the morning
about 1900 representatives to the

ter will be in the city. They are all
being we'll cared for and are having
no trouble in getting accommoda-
tons. This is made possible by the
organization of the local Masons
for the entertainment of the visitors.
Practically all of the grand officers
of both the Grand Lodge and the
Grand Chapter have arrived in the
city and the several standing COM
mittees are busy getting their re-
ports ready. All seem at home and
are we'll pleased with their new
home in Waco.
The city has made full prepare
tons to give their guests a hearty
welcome and are doing so. There
is no great amount of decorations
from the fact that all appreciate
that the Masonic body is not one OF
show, but for work. They show this,
for as soon as they arrive and are
located they begin to get ready for
the opening of the grand bodies to
which they are delegates.

SNOW MAKES WATERFALL AT BAD GASTEIN INCREASE TO MIGHTY PROPOR- TIoNS-BUGLEs BLOW ALARM.

New York. September 1s.-A disaster in the shape of storm has fallen on this place, says Herald dispatch from Bad Gastein, a, famous Alpine wateEius place i'll Austria. Snow fell on top of accounts lated snow and then came heavy rain and on both sides of the valley from the great ranges of mountain for miles came squirting forth turbulent cataracts. The streams and the famous waterfall which runs through the center of Bad Gastein became a laundering mass of furious wa ter, causing all the houses in the neigh borhood to vibrate from it's force.
 The climax came at Il O clock Thursday evening. About that hour the main street of the usually quiet town resounded with the ominous sound of long, loud bugle calls, recognized in the neighborhood as the call of alarm and the signal that as- sistance was badly needed The water fall had increased to mighty proportions, Trees and great masses of wood came laundering down. Earlier in the evening the electric lights all over the town had gone out, and the upper bridge on tho main road to the Bockstein had fallen A little later the one below the big water fall gave way.
 All communication with the nearest sta ton, Lend Caste, has been cut off owing to the fall of bridges and the few visitors remaining here are temporarily imD-s- oned.
