DAMAGE BY FLOODS
 IN THREE STATES
Some Loss of Life and Much Suf-
 fering.
WORST THOUGHT TO BE OVER
A Number of Streams in Indiana, Michigan and Illinois Have 0Nerfowcd Their Blanks,
 Doing Much Damage.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 29.-The flood conditions in the Grand river valley have greatly improved in the past 24 hours, and unless there snould be fall of rain, which is threatened Monday night, further danger from high water is passed Since the morn- ing the river has lowered nine inches from high water mark of 20:15 feet. Monday night the water is stationary. All the marooned inhabitants in this city have been properly cared for. School houses, church and the audi torium are being used for that pur- pose. Contrary to all reports, there has been no loss of life in this city on account of the flood. The subway recently cut out under the Grand Trunk railroad tracks is now believed to be responsible for the unprecedented flooding of the upper half of the west side. Heretofore the railroad embank- ment, 20 feet high. served as a dyke.
 Encouraging reports from Lansing, Battle Creek, Flint. Kalamazoo and other towns where flood damage have been estimated up in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, show that the danger and distress are largely cen- tralized in the Saginaw valley and around Grand Rapids in the valley of the Grand river. And at Grand Rap ids, too, a marked improvement is not ed, yet it is estimated that 14000 peo- pie are in distress.
 On the Shiawassee river, near Che saning, 25 families were rescued from their homes on a sagar beet farm just in the nick of time. before their houses were almost entirely submerged, Gil- bert Bertras. foreman fer the sugar company lost his life trying to save some of the property. He was in the water five hours and died from ex- DnSnrp
