Of the absent mem bers, about 20 will go to Middlesboro Ky, a number will go to Florence, Ala, one has gone to Florida and several to Mississippi It Is thought that the absentees will number 3i to 36.

 Being Fastened.

Washington, March 31.--The fol lowing special flood bulletin was is- sued by the weather bureau tonight:
 "The crest of the Ohio river flood has about reached Cincinnati with stage at pm. Monday of 69.5 feet, 1916 feet above flood stage While the river may rise a few tenths of a foot more, 1t will not quite reach 70 feet. At Louisville the stage at z pm.

 At Cairo the stage. at 2 pm. Mon day was 52.6 feet, 7,6 feet above flood stage. There is some indication that the relatively high stage of the Mis- sSAnn1ppis dt AdifD IS DdthluS up Iue waters Of the Ohio and there is a pos sibility, although a slight one, that the rate of rise in the Ohio at Cairo will diminish temporarily in day or so.
 Between Cairo and New Orleans the following stages are forecast: 4.
 At Memphis stage of 44,5 feet within the next eight Or nine days, flood stage, S5 feet; lat Helena, Ark. a maximum stage Of 54 feet, flood stage 42 feet.

The above Mississippi stages are all slightly un- der those of the 1912 flood.

today were rehabilitating their flood devastated districts, the waters dis there were tightening their disastrous clutch upon regions south of here. The government relief boat Sciota, in command of Lieutenant Height, U. S. A., lowed barge load of provisions into Lawrenceburg to- day to find but forty of 5000 homes there not under water. When the boat proceeded to Aurora conditions were found almost as bad with but 800 homes free from the reach of the waters
 People in southern Indiana needed flood warnings quickly, through the fear created by reports from the flood districts of the central states region. Reports of fatalities where the flood struck unexpectedly, but now is gone, still are conflicting. Pc. rus list of 20 promises to shrink somewhat but with those figures still standing, 1ndiana's loss of life still stands at 6S. Three bodies Of the drowned were found in West Indian apolis today, one remaining uniden- titled, while four refugees have been victims of the exposure suffered.
 Indiana is recovering, outside aid greatly relieving it's burden, and to- day business conditions in Indianaoo' lis were quite normal, with public utilities completely restored. Some Southern Indiana towns believed to be suffering from rising waters are cut off from communication but am pie warning has removed much dan ger of loss of life and property.

WORLDS GREATEST FINANciER EXPIRES AFTER ILLNESS OF
 SEVERAL MONTHS.
WALL STREET WAS PREPARED
Financial District Had Been Warned Of His Condition and the Market Suffers but Little When
 News Is Heard.

Rome, March 31.--J. Pierpont Nor gan, the New York financier. died here today a few minutes after noon.
 For months his health had beepI dar clining, but the symptoms became greatly aggravated about week ago and since Wednesday last he had been in semi-comatose condition.
 Tonight his body, lying in thesdeath chamber, was surrounded with flow CTS. Messages of sympathy have been received from King Victom Elm manuel, high officials of state. dip-| lomatic representatives and from many personal friends in all parta of the world.
 The death of Mir. Morgan was not known in Rome until several hours after it occurred, owing to the desireI that MT. Morgans son, J. Pierpont Morgan, IT., who Is in New York, should first be notified.
 The official statement prepared byI Dr. Giuseppe Bastianella. Dr. M. Ai-| len Starr and Dr. George A. DixonxI the attending physicians, indicates that a general collapse followed a condition of nervous prostrationA which prevented digestive organsl from performing their functions andI affected the mental faculties.
 For five days Mir. Morgan receivedI artificial nourishment but was unabit to assimiIate the food. As a zesultI he very rapidly lost strength. rod many holrs prior to his death he was in condition of semi-coma, which prevented him from recognizing those about him. His end was without suffering. MT. Morgan's daughter, Mrs. Her. bert L. Sattefiee, wilo ilaS been in | constant attendance, was at the dtatn bed She aeld the hand of her fath- CT and tried to obtain some sign of recognition. She thought that whenI ! the supreme moment came he faiHsiy pressed her hand. MT. Satterlee and the physicians almost carried the weeping woman out of tho room. where friends tried to comfort her.
 Mrs Satterlee is prostrated byI grief and had no statement to make tonight regarding future aTrange~ ments. So far, no preparations have been made with reference to the ret moval of Mr. Morgan's body to thoI United States. Those relatives whoI are in New York will first be coma municated with regarding their} wishes.
 Ambassador and Mrs. Thomas O Brien, General Post Wheeler and Mrs. Wheeler, wno went to the hotel this afternoon to inquire about My Morgan's condition were there when his death was announced. They rei mained to offer their services and ef< pressed condolence.
 All the Rome newspapers publis} tributes to MT. Morgan, expTessingI their deep sense of loss felt by the/ Italian people.
 It has been suggested that MrA Morgan's body should be taken tf the United States on board wal ship.

PUBLIC PARK.
Editor Enterprise:

Editor Enterprise:
An article in your last weei,
issue on GA Public Park struck
responsive cord in many minds,
and certainly now is the time to
secure the site before property
goes up out Of reach, as it surely
will, in the near future. There
are few very fine available spots
even now. "The Shadows would
be a very desirable selection,if the
price could be reached and the
property secured for the purpose.
There is another piece of proper
ty which is about to be laid off in
choice City lots for special res
ident "Place" such as We find in
most of the large cities, but if an
effort is made now to secure this
place for Park, we think it
could be bought at reasonable
price and On long time. This
place has a frontage on the Ba
you of 500 feet with a depth Of
400 more or less. There are seye-
raj large live oaks and other
trees. The place is perfectly
drained, every way. 1t for
time, bore the name Park
Place" New iberia will soon
have a resort vt Spanish Lake in
the West End, and a Public Park
in the East End on the Trolley
line would not be a bad idea and
should meet the approval Of the
Southwestern Traction Co. There
is four room house On the place
which at sinai cost could be con
yerted into Club house with
wide yeranda, etc. There could
be boat houses on the Bayou and
possible bath houses. This is
merely suggestion, let have =
better one if possible just to keep
the ball rolling until it reaches
our Prbtle Park.

BOOSTERS.

In seeking to enliyt the co-ope-
ration of their neighbors in their
efforts to advance the CONNER
cial and industrial interest oil
Southwest Louisiana, the Boos-
ters of Lafayette have undertake
en- a praiseworthy task, the ac
complishment of which would
mean much to this section. In a
country where nature has been
so lavish, the people have grown
accustomed to secure the good
things of life so easily, that indif-
ference has marked their prog
ress. and has resulted in less fav
ored communities acquiring the
benefits which justly belong
here. Within the territory OF
Southwest Louisiana, lies the
richest agricultural lands in the
country. Crops of every variety
vie. one with the other, in offer
ing the best inducements to the
progressive farmer; while the
lake and sea marshes adjacent
afford never failing pasture
ground which could provide sub
stance for heards upon heards OF
cattle. In wealth Of timber I'm
surpassed and possessed of Sui
pher. oil and salt in untold guam
titles, nature has yet endowed
this favored spot with net work
of navigable streams for the eco
nomical handling of these gifts.
The Boosters, seeking to de
velope these many resources, are
endeavoring to organize the bus
mess interest Of the several com
munilies; and with this end III
view. recently visited every town
from Lake Charles to Morgan
City where the cordial receptions
extended them and assurances
given at all plans, insnres the
success Of their undertaking. Az
a meeting to be held at Lafay
cite next Wednesday and Thurs
day, every Parish and every town
within the District will be rep
resented by a delegation and a
permanent organization will be
effected whose objects will be
to make known the favorable
conditions prevailing in South
west Louisiana and TO endeavOr
to induce capital to come and as
sist in their development.
New Iberia is second to no
community i'm the section com
posed and its representation
should be second to none Par
ticipating in the deliberations
Of the body and helping in form
ing its plans and purposes should
be a dirty and pleasure to every
