Probably the greater los of life
occurred at the Falls City hail,
which was in the cetilre of tho for

their mothers and other relatives,
taking it.incing lessons. There

lower floors, and 75 mote attending
a large meeting on the upper floor

While the father was imploring
the workers to get his other child,
lire broke out and the work was
suspended.
A thrilling experience was (hat
of (ieorge II Capita who was pres

of Honor in the lodge room on the

from the ceiling. A wild uish was
made for one room, w hich carried
me w ith it, and I just reached the
door when the ent ire 11 or gave way
and we were hurled to the base

nvM'lf from the debris and make
an" exit to the street through the ad
joining ho.i.-e. tin! doors of which I
kicked in. Ihero were neany a
hundred memliers present at oili
lodge meeting. Fully two-thirds
of those were ladies. I'.e-ides our

The band was rehearsing on tho

one of the greatest calamities the
country ii;;m ever known is immi
nent, and that it is the dctv of the
pie.-- to warn the people of lowci
Mississippi to prepare for tho worst.
Ho says it will be the greatest
calaurly Unit, has ever befahen that
section.
In spite ot the crevasses carrying
on a million gallons of water every
seconii, the height ol tho river at
Yicksburg and Cairo remained al
most the same atthotopof the flood
limit. This snows that the chan
nel of the river below is choked
with alluvium and debris from the
first flood. This is acting as a dam,
which will eventually work havoc
with all the levees. When the
wave crest from the new storm
comes down tho river, the entire
surrounding cnuntrv will be cover
ed. This will probably arrive at Cairo
iu 2 or!! days, but may be there 3
weeks before it reaches New Or
leans. rUOMPT ACTION TAKEN.
Washington, March 2$. The
signal service office has issued a
special river bulletin, warning the
iieople of the lower Mississippi val
ley to prepare for the greatest flood
ever known.
