But two embankments remained, and late in tbe day there were indications of the collapse of these. Troops were ordered out to reinforce them and drive the public from the danger zone. The refugees ' from the ten towns and villages destroyed surrounding country in the earlier stages of, the flood add to' the difficulty of handl ing tbe destitute here. Field hospitals have been erected in parks to care for those suffering from exposure. The ordinary hospitals are filled. Camps' for Refugees. Camps have been constructed and public, buildings have been turned over to the homeless. Camps of military tents were ordered erected on the outskirts.

County, Some Contend, Show the Prosperity of Taxpayers of County. Reports by the township trustees and treasurers of school corporations of the county for the fiscal year end ing July 31, have been complied by county superintendent. C. W. Jordan and it is shown that school finances are In a rather bad shape. The bond ed indebtedness is now much greater than it has been in several years and totals $229,239.60 in the county. Of this amount Richmond school corporation has a bonded debt of $157,649.60, the greater portion of which was Incurred in the issue of bonds to meet expenses incident to the con struction of the new high school building. None of the other school corporations are Indebted but there are several townships which have outstanding bonds against them, includ ing Franklin, $9,000; Green $10,000; Jefferson $8000; Wayne $18,400; and Webster $9,140. The fact that the school systems in the county are heavier in debt than for several years only indicates the general prosperity in the minds ' of many. These declare that it shows the taxpayers are not handicapped by an increase of taxes to meet needed im provements to school buildings. They say that if the times had not been .so good the school officials would never have undertaken improvements without the required amount of money in the treasury. - Good Revenue Source. The revenue for the difefrent school funds is very large and it will be but a few years before the bonded in debtedness of the school systems are paid off, unless other bonds are Is sued.

The total expense inoperating the schools in the county -was $141,921.11, of which $45,555.61 was spent in the Richmond schools. The Richmond school corporation had an excellent balance to its credit with which to start the schools next September, it amounting to $44,713.79. The revenue raised in the difefrent townships and school corporations for tuition purposes is as follows: Ablngton township, $3,438.71; Boston township, $4,464.69; Center township, $8,816.54; Clay township, $5,017.37; Dalton township, $2,317.13; Green township, $6,041.84; Harrison township, $2.968.38; Jackson township, $6,478.21; Jefferson township, $4,008; New Garden township, $5,636.20; Perry township, $4,135.81; Washington township, $4,276.81;.

III SPAlirSUIJDAY Not Only Clericals But republicans Were Involved in the Plot. ARMS FOR MONKS SEIZED IT IS THOUGHT TH ;T THE PLAN WAS TO TAKE "FIRST 8TEP TO MORROW IN PLOT TO OVER THROW KING. (American News Service.) Madrid, Aug. 13. Secret plans for an anti-government - demonstration in Navarre and Alva provinces, to - be held tomorrow, have been discovered, according to reports current here today. . Not only clericals, but republi cans are invilved in this latest devel opment of the Spanish crisis, it is understood. ' This is taken as another indication of the clerical-republicau alliance which is expected to succeed the clerical-Carlist combination. The consignment of arms destined for the monasteries which was seized at Vittoria, capital" of Alava, was but one detail of a general plan by which the government was to be taken by surprise, it was declared in .semi-official quarters. The malcontents aim ed to overcome the defeat they suf fered a week ago at San Sebastian, when they were compelled to call off their big demonstration. .What the Plan Was. t It is believed Jtoat the first gun was to be fired tomorrow in a general movement for the overthrow of King Alfonso and the declaration of a re public with strong clerical affiliations. The two extremes of Spanish politics have united against the left center led by Canaljejas. The dispatch today of special orders to the civil and military commanders at stategic points in the North was accepted as tacit confirmation of the discovery of the plot. The position of the clericals in the Basque provinces, however, has been weakened by the diminution, of enthusiasm among; the rich earlists who at l first supported the movement of unrest. Those have been frightened off by the advances of the republicans and the outflow of funds has lessened. ",. The situation st Bilbao remains unchanged, save for preparations by the striking miners for active opposition if the operators fulfill their threat to open the mines next "week with, strike breakers.
