SWEPT AWAY BY FLOODS Uvalde, a Texaa Town. Meets with a Terrible Disaster. An earthquake burst the earthen walls n f an artesian water baslu In the hills near Uvalde, a thriving town, the county seat of Uvalde County. Texas, at 2 o’clock Friday morning. The flood overwhelmed the town, submerging and wrecking bouses and drowning a number of people. It Is feared that 200 or 300 people may have been drowned in the lowlands south of Uvalda The east side of Uvalde Is built on low land and was directly In the path of the water. All the houses In the heart ot the town were submerged. There were a number of miraculous escapes, and the rescuers and the rescued performed many heroic acts A track walker of the Southern Pacific, after wading through water up to his neck with his lantern elevated above bls head, succeeded In feeling his way far enough east to Intercept a west-bound train and prevent its plunging Into the raging river where the railroad bridge had been destroyed. 3he loss to the Southern Pacific Company is enormous, forty miles ot track and many bridges having been washed away. A rough estimate ot the loss to property in general and the railroad c impar.y will, as far as known, reach 11.500,000. WHEAT FOR ANIMALS. Department Chief D. E. Salmon Says It Is Better than Corn for Feed. A bulletin ot wheat as animal food has been Issued by the Agricultural Department a* Washington. It was compiled by Dr. D. E Salmon, chief of the animal Industry bureau of the department, and is in re-ronse to inquiries as to the value of wheat for growing and fattening animals, suggested by the important change in the comparative price of wheat, corn and oats. The bulletin advocates the use of screenings and imperfect wheat as animal food and tbe placing ot only the best wheat on the market. A statistical table snows tbe near approach chemically of 20.6 pounds of wheat to the German standard ration for growing cattle from 6 to 12 months of age. and the fact that 31% pounds of wheat comes much nearer the feeding standard for fattening cattle than does the same quantity of corn. Equal parts of wheat and corn should, however, prove better for fattening animals than either ot those grains alone. For growing animals corn Is plainly not so suitable as Is wheat or oats. SUING FOR SUGAR BOUNTIES. Action to Be Begun in the Court of Claims by Southern Planters.

Many hundreds of persons on board the flower boats leaped overboard and were drowned, while several hundred others remained on board the craft and perished in tho flames.

Removal of Tariff Uncertainty Increases Business Generally. R. G. Dun & Ca’s Weekiy Review of Trade says: The activity which came with exhausted stocks aud tbe pressure of delayed fall demands, and was Increased by the removal ot uncertainty about the tariff, lias continued with heavy entries ot foreign goods since the bill became a law. The gain lx not yet what was expected, and business, if good in comparison with last year. Is still poor in comparison with years preceding. Presumably there has not been time to feel the full effects of tho change, and a gradual gain will be m ire healthy and encouraging than a spasmodic rise, but the expansion ot commercial loans has suddenly ceased, prices ot manufactured products show weakness rather than strength, and there has been a reaction In the stock market, trices ot railway stocks averaging 32 cents and of trust stock 2.11 a share lower thau a week ago.
