Popo Plus X has suf fered a serious relapse. Ills condition Sat urday was such as to arouse tho greatest fear. Ho showed great weakness und his fever roso tQ103 degrees. Th,o sec ond relapse fojldwcd a disregard for tho physician's Instructions. It was due to over-exhaudon of several audlcncas tiio -JSJgo ,avo today and to exposure to a change of atmospheric temperature. Although everybody ardently wishes tho popo many more years of reign, tho gravity of his condition makes prevalent tho fear that tho end of his pontificate, is upproachtng.

The bedroom Is kept In semi-darkness nnd absolute silence, Prof. Marchlafava having again Insisted, on a visit paid late Saturday that everything was done to prevent the patient from even making an effort to exercise Us mind. This time Cardinal Merry Del Val added his au thority In Bupport of the physician's or ders. The relapse -has caused the deepest i P prehension. The pope Saturday morning received Bishop Loughlln, saying that he could not allow "tho bishop of Mydlocss" to leave Rome without seeing him. The pope was most affable and gave the bishop a pectoral cross with white stones set in gold as a souvenir. Bishop Longhln left the room radiant. He thought that the pope appeared emaciated and prostrated, but that he was cheerful and hopeful. He gathered the Impression that a man with such mental vitality would live long. His delight was so great that he and the sisters of the pope lunched together in high good humor, wishing to celebrate the recovery of the pontiff.

I Estelle Suit Against News Proceeds Slowly FREMONT, Neb., April 13. (Special Telegram.) Tho evldcnco In tho case of Judgo Kstelle against the Omaha Dally finished Suturday afternoon. Unless the defendant consumes some time In rebut tal tho arguments will commence Monday afternoon. Tho testimony was for the purpose of showing that Judgo Ks tello was rather more than familiar with tho charcter of tho "Third ward crowd," and of Its methods of running primaries. Tho morning session was principally taken up with the Introduction of por tions of tho records In tho case of tho state against Krdman. About every ques tion was objected to by Mahoney, and there were some very-spirited arguments between the attorneys. Tho deposition of Column, tho former manager of tho negro club which claimed to oppose Judge Kstelle, read this after noon, detailed a remarkable condition of affairs. Column said that Olo Jackson, Crutchfteld and Jack Bloomfleld, the leaders down there, were all working for Judgo Estelle. Tho cards which they were distributing gave the names of three candidates for district Judge, Kstelle, Leslie and Dickinson. A house-to-house canvass was mudo of the prcrlnct. Tho witness also testified that a short time heforo tho primary election ho was at the court house and saw Dennlson and several others In tho corrldors,sthat they went Into the private office In the rear of tho court which Judge Kstelle occu pied and remained there some time. Ho did not know whether tho Judgo was there or not. The witness admitted that his club had run for some time without a license. The defendants tried to show that tho place, 10G South Fourteenth street, started a gambling Joint Immediately after tho primaries and ran unmolested for fifteen gr twenty days, but the court held It In udmlssable The case proceeded very slowly and tho cross-examination of this witness was not concluded when court adjourned.

However, both of them went on record as opposing a sacred principle of the democratic party "Let tho people rule." Both voted to take from the people of Omaha the right to control their water works, for which they have bonded themselves to pay over 17,000,000. Speaker Kelly expressed the opinion that no democrat who voted ngalnst letting the people rule will ever be ablo to square himself with his democratic constituents. ,moeMv tpo.,11 oS This session will go down In history as having appointed more Investigating com mittees than uny previous sessions and got less out of them. This refers par ticularly to tho democratic house, which sent out Honw nine, or ten committees to raise some scnndnl that would' besmirch republican officials. So far no report has been made from woven or eight of theso committees, so It Is very evident these leglshitlvo grand Juries found nothing that could be used to the advantage of a democratic campaign. One committee did besmirch the reputa tion ot Attorney Grunt Martin and other members of the State Hoard of Irriga tion without giving them a hearing. Mr. Martin secured permission to address tho house, during which he removed from the body of theso membent who adopted the report nuout 'steen yards of skin, after which tho house adopted nnother report from another commltteo appointed to In vestigate tho first committee, saying It did not mean what It fuld and assuring the public tho houso did not mean to re flect on Mr. Martin and the other Indi vidual members of the board.

At least fifteen :amlllcs living In the lower river bottoms near the foot of Burt street aro homeless today, made so by tho steady rise of tho Missouri waters. Homes wero washed looso from tholr foundations and largo numbers of tho humblo huts uro under from five to eight feet, of wuter. Mrs. Jack Lacy, wlfo of a pifrTit laborer nt tho Smelter, came to police headquarters last night und asked for a night's lodging, telling tho officers In command of tho station that her home was submerged. All of her helonglngH aro hidden by the water, and she made her leave by crossing the water from the roof of her home, on a bridge mudo of old planks. Whllo the Missouri Is carrying It's usual , i. spring floods and has Jumped Its banks near the southwest part of carter lako, there is no Immedluto danger of It get ting so high as to bother the residents of the second bottoms. A rlso of an oven a foot was resisted at the local weathor office Sunday morning, over tho read ing of the morning before. The stage of the river at 7 o'clock Sun day morning was 17.7 feet above tho zero of the gun go an dut 1 o'clock In the afternoon had gone up to 17.9, but the crest at that tlmo was between Blair bridge and Omaha and would arrive dur ing tho night. At Sioux City Sunday morning a fall of .7 feet was reported, showing that the crest had passed that place. At Blair a rise of.S feet was registered, but during tho afternoon the waters began to reced and the crest had passed there. A number of people living In the ox tremn west side of Coutidl Hlnffn Imvn 'moved out of their homes in anticipation of high water, but according to Colonel Welsh, thorn Is no neod for alarm. The Missouri will probably not leave Its banks. Around Pacific Junction and lowlands bordering on tho Missouri no damage has been done other than being covered with water fan spring planting will be retareded, but a few days. Many farmers say that the best wheat raised last year was that grown on the soli which had been overrun with te flood waters. At Carter lake te water was slowly flowing from the river into the lake. It started flowing at about noon and abput i o'clock was coming slower. MEMBERS "ARSON TRUST" ARE SOUGHT IN OMAHA Jacob and Solomon noss, arrested here on .
