Public debt, floods, murders, and a desert canal noted
The year 1898 reports a total debt of 969 million with cash in treasury and a May increase of 4.6 million. Flood losses wide across Indiana and neighboring states, a Trinity Texas disaster, a Louisville tax celebration, and 6000 Illinois residents destitute. A farmer killed his wife then himself in Illinois, and a life insurance collapse moved members to another company. The Mississippi river flood, lynching in Port Jervis, drownings in Iowa, and a high New Orleans water mark are cited, with national money circulation at 1.62 billion and per capita 24.77. A Texan quarrel ends in murder, and the Wolfly canal project will irrigate 300k acres. Also noted: deaths by suicides, rail wrecks, world cycling attempts, East River tunnel work, wheat exports, and tornadoes in Reading and Santa Rosa.
