The old plssters lacked the power to do

ever visited this vicinity, set in.
Indian Creek, which runs through
the heart of the city, overlooked.
The damage is estimated at $780,

stone culverts belonging to the city
were swept away; also several
dwellings and barns. All the bust
ness houses on Main and Broadway
streets were flooded and several
losses of life are reported. Cries
for help wer9 heard in every direc-

rent rendered assistance impossible.
The flood rose so quickly that many
business men found it impossible

A Singular Express Package.

From lhe ID tr0it Post ana Ir1DnDe.l
A lady who was waiting for package
In the freight department of the Ameri-
can Express otHe, sat down on some
boxes and carelessl Y ested one arm on an
express package close by. In few
moments somvtbine warm and soft
touched her arm, causing very curious
thrill. She ,okc il u the box thIc ugh
narrow cr.ci AL saw two bright
eyes, when sue appanted 10 one Of the
men:
"Tbere's something alive IN there, "
she suggested.
81 guess not, said the man going on
with his work.
The neAt n omeut little feeble wall
came )rom the boy.
"Gcod gracious, its a baby" cried
the alarmed aomaL; and it will
smother.
Several employees gathered around the
box, and on II BbcctlDG the aperture
they could distinctly sGe the bright eyes
and small patht tic IN. e of the deserted
iufant. Humanity Is ever uppermost.
Some of the men were fathers. They
could not stsnd bis cruel abuse of help
less offspring. and one indignant man
tore off the cover, and-a small African
monkey, billed to the German bird
store, weight five pounds, express charg-
es Is cents, leaped over their heads and
curved itself defnatly on pile OF boxes.
Tableau on the lady's part. Monkey

Hayes prepared the charge which was

got ready to light the fuse the other two
men withdrew to cafe distance from
the water and applied the match In
stead OF throwing the powder iuto the
river at once, Hayes continued to hold
it until his friends became alarmed and
called to bim to pitch it into the water.
Again they begged him to throw the
powder away, but he seemed parnlyzed
with some strange freak of mind, and
only grasped the deadly explosive more
firmly. finally he seemed to realize his
Danger aud tined to cut the burning fuse
with his pocket knife. In second or

with deafening shock and the unfor-
