The YazOO Delta.
Now Under Water Pouring from
the Mississippi -Greenvil!e
City Submerged.

Greenville, Miss, March %. =
A volume of water sixteen feet
deep is steadily pouring through
the crevasse in the levee five
miles south of here and is flooding
thousands of acres of the finest
farming land of the Yazoo delta.
The break occurred about
o clock this morning and the roar
of the rushing waters could be
easily heard here. The whole
town is inundated and many fami-
lies are threatened.
1t is estimated that fully 1900
square miles OF territory between
Greenville and Nicksburg are un
der water and that this area is be-
ing made larger with each hour.
For this reason no estimate can
be put on the loss ofproperty and
the damage that will result from
the break. Rescue boats are
busiIy engaged in taking the peo>
pie out of this large section OF
country and it is hoped that there
will be no loss of life. One boat
today brought out Is souls.
Grcenville, Miss, March 90
The backwater from the Lagrange
crevasse is slowly rising and near
ly all of the city is submerged.
Business is paralyzed and people
are moving about the streets in
the southern section in skiffs. The
rise in the last "a hours is two
inches. The sensational reports
sent out from hero that the city
is in danger of destruction are
highly exaggerated and the facts
do not warrant any such state.
m9nt. Rumors of great loss of
life are absolutely without foun-
dation Sc far as is known here.
Relief parties with boats have
been at work resculng people in
the path of the food and the re.
fugees are brought here.

uel's Forces Routed =
Story of the Fight

Manila, March 81. Two COM
panles Macabebe scouts sigually
defeated the main body of San
Miguels forces today. 1t is be-
lieved San Miguel was killed.
Lieut.. Reese was seriously wound
ei. The scouts lost three men
killed and eleven men wound-
ed.
The enemy occupied an en-
trenched position midway be-
tween MariIuina and San Fran
cisco del Monte, and erected a
stone fort, which was garrisoned
by 200 men. The First and
Fourth companies of Macabebes,
commanded by Lieuts. Reese and
Nickerson, respectively, attacked
the enemy's position, but, as the
scouts were expo. cd to the fire on
the enemy In Il manner which
placed tie Maca bebes at a disad-
vantage, the lleutonants decided
after an hours fight to surround
the position and charge. After
having divided their companies
the two officers then led IL gallant
and successful charge during
which Lieut.. Reese fell seriously
wounded.
The enemy then broke and ran, ,
leaving 40 men dead ON the field,
including general officer, who is
believed to be San Miguel.

A special to the Observer from

wind and rain storm struck this
city last night and has been rags

Special to The State.
Charleston, March 2S.-Chief
State Constable Hammett has
had a satisfactory inter view
with Chief of Police Boyle, with
a Wow Of better cooperation in
the enforcement of the dispensary
law in the future. Chief Ham,
NETT Impressed upon the police
Official the necessity of making the
blind tigers understand that the
two forces are in perfect harmony
and propose to enforce the law to
tho letter. The police depart
partment has been cooperating
with the copstables, but the chief
constable showed that thi. cooper.
alton can be mole thorough than
it has been, and Chief Boyle has
given him assurances of better as
slstance. For instance, the IL
quor dealers have way Of load
ing their trucks on the Clyde Line
wharf and when the opportunity
presents itself they drive rapidly
up the street and escape with their
contraband stuff. AS long as the
liquor is on the wharf it is ia the
hands of the transportation com
pany and, according to the de-
cision of the federal court, it is
protected by the law of interstate
commerce. The services of DO
lice officer on the street leading
from the wharf could be of much
use and assistance to the consta-
bles in stopping the violators of
the law, and the assignment of
special officer to that duty will be
made in the future. The chief
constables wanted the officer sta.
toned on the wharf in order to
cooperate the better with the con.
stables, but Chief Boyle would
not agree to this request.
Collector of the Port Crum has
received notice of the approval of
his bond. He will probably
qualify on April /. All the off
ciai. .rs i'll the civil sorvico aud
Crum cannot put in any of his
friends unless vacancies occur.
The vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Barnwell, who will
not serve under the co.ored man,
have to be filed from the eligible
list.
Arrangements are practically
complete for the business mems

weighted performers to contend with, some
of which are likely to give any horse good
argument over the distance of ground. OF
the possible starters Little Scout, which
ran third to McChesney Saturday, gets in
at 102 pounds Linguist which, however,
has not shown any liking for the distance,
gets in at IS pounds.

Kansas City Journal
THE fine cattle business is as good as it
ever was-that is to say, the breeders of the
best pedigreed stock are not able to sup
ply the demand for such animals said
j. E. Robbins, of Horace, Ind, yesterday.
Mr.. Robbins is of the breeding firm of j. G.
Robbins & Sons, whose herd of Shorthorns
is one of the best in the United States.
1.-THE crosses of Shorthorns are most sat-
isfactory grades in the world con-
tinued Mr.. Robbins, land they are adapted
to range conditions in a manner better, per-
haps, than any other crosses of cattle.
The stock farm of Mr.. Robbins is blue
grass farm. There, it is alleged, is the
OF Kentucky as q bluegrass State came
after the seed of that grass was taken to
the latter State from Indiana by Henry
Clay. There is no State that approaches
Indiana in the matter of bluegrass unleess
1t be Missouri, said Mr.. Robbins. In Mis-
souri, l have seen some bluegrass pastures
that were the equal of the Indiana pas
lures"
Mr.. Robbins will have some show cattle
at the next American Royal Cattle show.
He states that his stock is in the best pos
sibe condition and will be winners in the
prize ring.
The question of dipping cattle for the
eradication of itch microbes Is one that is
attracting attention of cattlemen all over
the country at this time. Mr.. Robbins
stated that in his opinion 1t was necessary
to take measures with all the cattle every
spring, for the reason that the mango or
itch is becoming so widespread as TO call
for measures of prevention.
DIR. v. "A. Norgaard formerly connected
with the bureau Of animal industry of the
Department of Agriculture was also
spoken to in regard to the cattle dipping
proposition on the ranges and ranches of
the West. Dr. Norgaard has made study
of the mango problem and has decided that
there is only one thing to do-that is to
dip the cattle every spring In some solution
to remove the parasites 1t is claimed there
are several mixtures which accomplish the
desired result in a satisfactory manner.
"Cattlemen in Western Kansas are OBJ
jecIing to the enforcement of an order by
the Kansas live stock sanitary commits
sion,'' said DR.. Norgaard, which demands
the dipping of cattle In thirty of the coun-
ties OF that State before they are allowed
to be removed from the ranch. Cattlemen
have held several Indignation meetings and
are resolving in all OF the counties. The
measures are in my opinion very beneficial.
The mango affects the cattle in the winter
time 1t leaves them In bad shape and time
spent in taking on flesh in the spring in
the case of NANCY cattle Is consumed in
recovering from the effects of the winter s
siege of scratching and loss by reason OF
the itch. A dipping just before the cattle
are placed on the pasture will be a great
saving to the ranchmen and will be but
very little expense"
The breeders of good cattle have adopted
the dipping plan and find it most effica-
cious.

Steam the clover over night, about one

about one-half what they will eat. then
afterward scatter some millet seed-about
one gill to a dozen hens-in the litter in the
scratching shed.
Keep the hens busy scratching all day,
working in the litter, but see they have
enough to I'LL their crops at supper. Feed
all grain in the litter. Feed variety of

are excellent. Green cut bone is the great
est egg-producing food about. one ounce

Keep your fowls free from vermin. Pro-
vide dust bath; paint the dropping
boards at least twice year with some good
liquid lice killer; whitewash the house twice
a year, spring and fall. If mites ever get
in the house take everything out, for in a
well-regulated poultry house everything is
movable. Spray 1t we'll with kerosene emul-
sion. Repeat in ten days to get the nits.
Spraying with a liquid lice killer l con-

The lister Is a double pillow, or right and
left-hand pillow set together at the land
sides, so as to throw the furrow both ways,
and make a ditch. Behind, attached to the
back end of the beam, is subsoiler: this
stirs the bottom of the furrow. Then fol-
lows the drill, drawn by one horse unless
a combined lister and drill, and drills the
corn in the bottom of the ditch, which is
always fresh and clean of weed seeds. The
advantages are. that no blowing and har-
rowing, marking or checkrowing are neces-
sary. consequently the farmer has more
time for small grain in the spring, and is
reasonably sure to get his grain planted
in good season with less labor Ali weeds
will be killed when the corn is planted
This gives the corn equal chance with
the weeds. The work can be commenced
as soon as the listing is done, with no dan
ger of the horse tramping on the corn, as
they walk on the ridges, the corn is in the
ground so deep that ii is not easily blown
down, and the crop will stand a longer dry
spell than when planted top of the
ground. In listing, one should always list
up and down hills. as then each row will
carry off its surplus water without injury
to the corn; but IL listed the other way,
across the hills, the bitches will fill with
water, wash in and cover up the corn so
deep that it will not get through. The
first tool to use on listed corn is harrow
or planter, or both; then use the cultivat-
ors; ii has been found great deal less
labor than the old way.
