ARKANSAS RIVER AT STAND; FALL
 TO BEGIN TODAY
Rise Does Not Reach 25-Ft. Stage and Great Damage
 Is Averted.

inc Arkansas river at Pine Bluff was reported on d stand last night without having reached the 25-foot mark on the official gauge. It will begin falling early today. according to indications, and the fall will be rapid, although not so rapid as might be the case were the Mississippi not so high as it is now.
 There may be more and heavy rains, that will also tend to affect the rapidity with which the flood stage will pass Pine Bluff, but this is not expected, and it is the belief ot officials and old river men that within a day or two the river will be al it's normal stage agaln.
 So far, there has been no damage done to the banks in East Pine Bluff, although :. it is impossible to say whether the banks have been under mined. If such should be the case, the bank will cave in as the water recedes, if not before. Half a hun dred men in the employ of the federal government are constructing a large matt for use in an emergency, and there are several barges of stone at hand, should the banks show signs of caving. .s z ssss' ss M
 The usual flooded conditions prevail in the lowlands along Hardin's bayou, and especially in East Pine Bluff, but there has been no great damage done. Many individuals suffered losses of late gardens and late plantings of corn, however. in the city and along the river loWlands generally.

GEORGE ADAMS BACK
 FROM THE STORM ZONE
Entente Allies Lose 1O,0O0 Head 0i Cattle Awaiting Shipment at
 Texas City, He Says.

George H. Adams, business mana ger of The Graphic, returned Sunday night from Houston, Texas, the ter minus of contemplated summer triG to Galveston.
 "The damage in Houston was far greater than reported" said Mr Adams. Going over the files of The Graphic, I see you received news o1 Galveston here as quickly as we die in Houston.
 "The storm was worse than the 1900 hurricans, according to men wh were in both. The loss of life w Il never be known. Property damage was great. Texas City was practical ly wiped out, army officers and me- there losing everything. Ten thous and head of cattle at Texas City, own ed by the allies and awaiting ship menr to Europe, were lost"
