BIGFLOODS in TEXAS
NUMBER OF PEOPLE DROWNED
AND THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
Much Stock and All Railroads Suffer-
Fort Worth Covered With Water
Proclamation Issued Calling for Help
for Homeless-River Rising One
Inch an Hour.

Fort Worth Texas, May 25.-Seven
people are known to be dead, 5000 are
homeless and a dozen or more are re
ported to have been Killed in Fort
Worth and North Fort Worth as a re
suit of a great food which, beginning
at 1880 Saturday evening, reached a
climax at o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Following the torrential rains, a vol.
ume of seven inches, the river went
three inches above the record of 1889.
Stock valued at many thousands of
dollars, including 2500 sheep penned
up in the stockyards of North Fort
Worth, was washed down stream and
destroyed
The paralysis of railway service is
almost total. The interurban has dis
continued service between Fort Worth
and Dallas. The Rock Island made no
attempt to operate trains north of Fort
Worth The Frisco and, in fact, all
roads, are more or less damaged.
Rowboats from Handley, White City
and Lake Como, hauled to the scene
of overflow on street cars, wagons and
in patrol wagons, figured prominently
in the work of rescue.
lIany persons are missing and it is
feared this is the beginning of a long
list of fatalities. Not until the water
has receded will it be possible To tell
the exact loss of life and property.
Not vestige of the big wagon
bridge over the Trinity, near the steel
foundry was visible at o'clock Sun
day morning. Piers, Orders and abut-
ments were swept downstream, for
time threatening the lives of thousands
of sightseers congregated on the city
park bridge and approaches. Relief
camps have been already established
by Manager Green of the bureau of
charities.
Mayor w. d. Hart of Fort Worth
issued proclamation, calling the citi-
zens to help the homeless. The Saliva
ton Army also cared for many. Food
and raiment will be dispensed tomor-
row.
The river is rising at the rate of one
inch per hour.

Drummers Stop TIPS.

Fresno, Cal.-At a recent session of
the grand state council of commercial
travellers it was decided to take up
the elimination of the tipping habit
before the supreme council. Delegates
were unanimous in agreeing that the
tipping habit has become obnoxious
and can no longer be tolerated. An
effort will be made to make it unfash-
ionable. Drummers assert that they
have to tip practically all BARRIERS,
walters, bootblacks, hotel men and 9th
ers with whom they come in contact.
