The Worst in the History of the Levee
 System.

Greenville. Miss, March PA volume of water sixteen feet deep and over 5000 feet in length is pouring steadily through a crevasse in the levee five miles south of here and flooding thou sands of acres of the finest Farmins land in the celebrated Yazoo delta. The break in the levee occurred at Il o'clock this morning, and the roar of the rush. ing waters can easily be heard in Greenville. Only POO feet of the em- bankment gave way at first, and Q mighty effort was made by hundreds of laborers in charge of the government engineer to check the flood by cribbinS and sacking, but it was soon apparent that it was beyond human power to successfully combat the resistless fury of the current.

Panama, March 2I.-The revolu7 tionists of Nicara qua have captuB some of the steamers plying on La, Nicaragua and have left the depart ment of Chontales, which has prevent ed President Zelaya's forces from at tacking them.
 The official advices from Managua, however, say the rising has been sup pressed.

FOREIGN FORCES AT WORK.

Washington, March 2. - Secretary Hay has sent a warning to Cuba that the slightest amendment of the Cuban treaty by the Cuban congress, even that which proposes to make it's ratifi- cation conditional on the treaty going into effect during the current calendar year, certainly would defeat the con- vention itself. since any amendment must be submitted to the United States senate and before that can be done the date fixed for the final exchange of notifications, March q. will have been passed.
 MT Sauiers. the United States minis ter at Havana. has transmitted this note to the Cuban foreign minister. and he is hopeful that it will be sufficient to curb the desire to mend the treaty.

THREE REPORTS ON TREATY.


 Havana, March 27.-Three separate reports on the reciprocity treaty with the United States were presented to the senate this afternoon by the for eign relations committee. One signed by the chairman, Senor Busuamente. the president of the senate. Senor Ca pote, and by Senator Dolz, recon mended the approval Of all the amend ments adopted by the United States senate.
 Senator Zayss presented q report against the ratification on account of the action of the United States senate in confining the 20 per cent reduction of the duty of sugar to the basis of the tariff law of 1897: Senator Tamayo submitted the third and adverse report upon all the amendments. Both the minority reports were rejected by the senate.
 The majority will he discussed to- MOTION, and it is expected that il will be approved by a small majority. It's provision requiring the adoption of the treaty by the United States congress before December l, however. is gen orally believed to be fatal to the treaty since the acceptance by the United States senate of this provision is i'm possible. It is barely possible that the trio of senators may make an amended report tomorrow.

WATERMELON PALACE.
Novel Feature of a Carnival For
Oaktown, Ind.

One of the chief events that VIII oc-

As Oaktown is in the heart Of the mel

will be a most interesting sight.
The crop this year will be the largest
ever known, judging by present condl-
tions. More than 1000 acres above last

nreparations are making to handle nun
dreds of cars. Last year entire melon
trains left Oaktown, and hundreds OF
melons were wasted because the rail-

A MINT FOR MENELEK.
Abyssinian Monarch to Make
His Own Coin.

King Menelek of Abyssinia is getting
along in the world First he thrashed
the Mahdists. Then he drove the Ital-
ians out of his kingdom. Then he wei
coined the diplomats of European ma
tons, playing one against another.
Now he is to have mint, says the
New York World. What an advance
this means may be realized from the
fact that Abyssinia until recently has
been getting along with cubes Of rock
salt for cash. A small amount of coin
minted in France has of late been in
circulation. Now the king will make
his own. Consul Masterson of Alden
reports that he has saved up 11O,23O
pounds of gold for the purpose.

GREAT WHEAT STATE.
Nebraska's Crop Estimated at
Fully 80, 900, 900 Bushels.

Reliable estimates received at the
general offices of the Burlington route
indicate that Nebraska will have one
of the largest wheat crops in history,
says the Burlington Qa) Hawkeye.
In 1902 the yield was 6O,216,670 bush
els, of which approximately 5O,OOO,OOO
bushels was winter wheat and the re-
mainder spring wheat This year 1t
ia believed that the crop will reach
fully 100000 bushels, and nearly all
winter wheat The acreage Is proba-
bly, from 20 to 25 per cent greater
than last year.
Nebraska's development as a winter
wheat state can be shown by compar-
ing the figures in recent years In
1890 the yield was less than 1O,OOO,OoO
bushels, and practically all Of 1t was
spring wheat. In 1899 the yield was
approximately 100000 bushels and
nearly evenly divided between spring
and winter wheat
This splendid crop alone can sustain
Nebraskas prosperity for another
twelve months, to say nothing OF the
large yields of other staple products.

TARANTULA ON HIS DESK.
An Albany Man Had an Interest
ing Experience,

Mr.. S. H. Tiff brought to the Her
aid Office this morning huge tarantu-
la which has proved an object of curl
osity to all who have seen it.
Mr.. Tiff killed the big insect last
night at the Albany Artesian Ice Com
pany's plant. He was sitting at desk
writing when he observed the taran-
tula crawling toward him. He struck
at it once, but the blow was not effect
i've, and the insect, instead of retreat
ing, showed fight. Another blow how
eyer, killed it.
The insect is certainly not a native
of Georgia It's body is nearly an inch
long and the legs are an inch and a
quarter in length, so that when out
spread the insect would cover a spot
more than two and half inches in di-
ameter The presumption is that the
tarautula escaped from some car OF
Cuban bananas or other ifruit which
was being iced at the factory. Mr..
Tiff is to be congratulated that the in
sect did not sting him. The sting OF
the tarantula, naturalists say, is never
fatal, but the poisoning causes great
pain to a victim.-A lbanV Herald.
