Nursery Needs.
Horne material for rotneprs Is at
the nursery awaiting willing fingers
to convert it into garments to be
used In the institution. Who will sew
for Kl Paso’s homo mission?
Ail kinds of food supplies are
needed. The consumption of beans,
dried fruits, rice and cereals, mo-
lasses, sugar and potatoes Is great.
If everyone who reads this column,
and who Is Interested In this work,
will telephone her grocer, now, to de-
liver one or more article above men-
tioned, how much helpfulness would
be realized. United effort brings
great results.
It will be necessary to appeal to
. generous supporters to help this
j cause as much as possible during the
hot summer months, when the en-
ergies of the Sunshine society cannot
he actively engaged to raise funds to
curry on the work.
The kindergarten teacher, Miss
Vaughn, who lives at the nursery,
will give up her work on May 14th,
and hopes to return In the fall. In

never satisfy the world. But if thou
goest forward thy way, not concern-

CURIOSITY LEADS MANY
ACROSS IUVKR YESTERDAY
Ciudad Juarez was the Mecca yes-
terday of many sightseers and amuse-
ment seekers, notwithstanding the
fact that the program of sports at
Washington Park drew a large crowd.
Most of those w ho went to the Mexi-
can towir across the river attended
the bullfight. The keno game was
also well patronized, but not nearly
so well as on former Sundays, when
the Journey to Juarez was much safer
than It is now.
Good order was maintained
throughout the day, very few intoxi-
cated persons being seen on the
streets. No arrests of any conse-
quence were made. The American
"con men" and "bunco steerers,” who
make Juarez their hunting grounds
were unusually busy, owing to the un-
usual number of persons on the
streets. It is not known how success-
ful they were in their operations, for
no complaints were made by victims
to the police. Excepting the "gend-
armes.” no armed men were seen on
the streets, as the Red Flag soldiers
are compelled to leave their arms at
the barracks when they come into
town.

...... ♦ '"I .'IS
An active campaign will be begun
today«.or tomorrow by the special
committee of the chamber of com-
merce recently named to secure sub-
scriptions of money to the bonus fund
that Is being raised to promote the
prompt construction of the muoh-
talked-of electric interurban railroad
down the Rio Grande vatley to Yaleta.
By the end of this week It is confi-
dently expected by the committee that
a large part of the money will have
been subscribed.
As far aa the right of, way Is con-
cerned that is practically settled nor
No opposition has been met .with by
the friends of the projected road from
any property owner whose land will
be crossed by the line. On the con-
trary there Is apparently the great-
est desire among those owners to free-
ly donate the strips of realty neces-
sary to give the road an economical
and safe location. .
The proposition to build the inter-
urban Is looked upon with much in-
terest fiy citizens of Ysleta. One
property owner there, who holds con-
siderable valuable land, offers to do-
nate one-fourth of his holdings to the
bonus fund In lieu of money. Another
has offered $2000 In cash and a big
strip of right of way. Other men
down the valley say they are ready
to give liberally in money or land.
Nearly 100 property owners between
!• Paso and Ysleta will be Interview-
ed.
A number of banking corporations
and local capitalists of El Paso have
signified their willingness to assist
tho bonus committee with substan-
tial subscriptions and there Is a
unanimous opinion among the local
merchants in favor of the enterprise.
The interurban line, as projected,
will be nine miles In length. It will
extend along the county road known
as "Texas Alameda” from a point
near Washington Park to Ysleta. Its
probable cost, as estimated by pre-
liminary surveys, will be $180,000.
Stone & Webster, the Boston fi-
nanciers who control the El Paso
Electric Railway company, have said
that they will build and operate the
line provided the people of El Paso
present them with a bonus of $60,-
000 and a free right of way of fifty
feet. It Is to ascertain definitely the
will of El Pasoans in tho matter that
the chamber1 of commerce committee
will give its attention fluring the next
few days.
It is proposed to build the road of
heavy steel, well ballasted, and equip
It with the most modern type of In-
terurban electric coaches geared for
high speed. Baggage and market
cars are also contemplated to handle
the shipments of fruit, garden truck
and milk that will originate along
the line. The proposed passenger
rate is twenty-five cents for the
round trip between El Paso and Ys-
leta on commutation tickets.
The special committee named of tho
chamber of commerce to promote the
bonus matter follows: J. A, Smith,
chairman; J. G. McNary, Felix Mar-
tinez, Frank R. Tobin and R. L. Dor-
band t.

WEIRD PICTURE PRESENTED
WITH THE FLOOD FOR
A BACKGROUND.
Annotated Prett Dtipatoh.
Vicksburg. Miss., April 16.—The
Mississippi levee for miles along hero
presents s weird scene tonight Fires
msde of driftwood dot the embank-
ment on which refugees are roasting
the carcasses of beeves for food.
Meanwhile the work of rescue pro-
ceeds In the back country. Volunteers
In launches and skiffs and on impro-
vised rafts have saved nearly a thous-
and persons since the Salem levee
broke Friday, and other thousands
who made their own way to safety
are camping along the levee. Tugs
and steamboats are gathering them
up and bringing them to Vicksburg.
Governor Brewer has ordered tents
sent here for their use.
In two days the inhabitants have
been driven out from a territory em-
bracing a hundred square miles. The
cause was a fifteen foot wall of
water, fifty feet wide, that burst sud-
denly through the levee at Salem last
Friday evening, inundating two miles
of farm land within twenty minutes.
Ahead of this rush of water rode
a score of negroes from the Alsatta
plantation. They rode all night
through the darkness and rain, warn-
ing the inhabitants to flee, until over-
taken by the rlstng tide, they were
forced to flee for their own lives.
Vicksburg, New Orleans and Lake
Providence were appealed to and sent
relief expeditions, which started 1n
boats across the flooded country to-
ward Alsatia and Roosevelt on the
crest of the current. Families were
found on top of the houses, having
chopped holes In the roofs and perch-
ed upon tho ridge poles.
TOWN OF TALLULAH
REPORTED UNDER WATER
Attodated Prett Dispatch,
Tallulah, La., April 14.—All of the
town of Tallulah on the Vicksburg,
Shreveport & Pacific railroad with the
exception of a few business houses, is
under water tonight.
Hurried levees have been thrown
up along the railroad and every able
bodied man is lending his aid in the
fight to save the rest of tho town
from the flood rushing' through the
dog tall crevasse Jn the Mississippi
river.
Dwellings and small houses are
floating about In the flooded area,
some of which is under ten feet of
water. Late tonight the water con-
tinued to rise at the rate of two inches
an hour at the railway station.

BALLON IN THE CLOUDS
WITH IGNORANT AVIATOR
Cossonay, Switzerland, April 14.—
The 8wig» Aero club’* balloon, St
Gothard, is somewhere above the
clouds with a man aboard who is
totally ignorant of handling the aerial
craft. The balloon was returning
from a fli ght today with a pilot and
three passengers. During an attempt
to land the basket was blown against
a rock by a wind gust and tho pilot
and two of the passengers thrown
out. Thus lightened, the balloon shot
up to u height of 15.000 feet and
whirled away with the third passen-
ger, a man who had Just made his
first flight.
FLOODS ARE RISING
ON LOWER MISSISSIPPI
Anoelated Prett Dispatch,
New Orleans, April 14.—The floods
of the Mississippi continued to rise to-
day from Vicksburg to the mouth of
the river. The levees above New Or-
leans give promise of withstanding
the strain, according to official re-
ports tonight. They are In fair con-
dition below* New Orleans for forty
miles but at several points still fur-
ther south the situation Is not reas-
suring. More than an inch of rain
fell here this afternoon.
The river here tonight registered
19.7 feet, less than one foot below the
previous high record.

NEGRO ARRESTED ON
INSANITY CHARGE
Andy Hightower, a negro, was ar-
rested early this morning In a room-
ing house on East Third street and
docketed at the police station as in-
sane. The negro Is sold to have en-
tered the rooming house and driven
the occupant of a room from his bed

hysterics from some fear that he
could not explain. He will be trans-
ferred to the county Jail today. The
arrest of tho negro made the second
arreBt of the night on the insanity
charge. The first case was that of
a Mexican, Sllvestre Carrasco, who Is
alleged to have tried to fight his
son-in-law.
