like the clubs of some barbarian
army, as far as the eye could follow
the waters into the woods above.
And in a few minutes their. force was
felt in repeated bursts that covered a
great section Of the city with the mad
flood. The scene that followed 1t
was cruel beyond belief. In the part
of the flooded district that bore the
main weight Of the attack hundreds Of
poor working people lived with their
families in frame houses convenient
to the factories where the heads Of
the families were employed. The
flood swept these slight tenements be-
fore it, and made them driftwood be-
fore the very eyes Of the watchers on
the bridges. Some OF the sllghter
ones were picked from their posts and
tossed, contents and all, on the sur
face of the water. Others made a
stout resistance, but were crushed or
rent as it happened, and sent on the
same course. In less than an hour
and half the homes OF $500 people
had been either borne down toward

standing dismantled in the middle Of
the flood. From the bridges the peo-
pie who had fled at the first warning
watched the dreadful scene. They saw
men and women clinging to the roofs
Of houses and screaming for help. The
waves climbed, and soon, before the
eyes of the watchers, these human
creatures were dashed from their
places and sent whirling down the
river, driftwood themselves. Above
the Milwaukee and ST. Paul bridge
whole family chung to the roof OF a
frame house. Among them was a
little girl. Suddenly she let go her
hold and slipped into the flood. Later
she was found alive lying on pile OF
driftwood half a mile below. Her
father and the rest of the family
went away with the house, which sue
cumbed to the waves shortly after the

fall, and when day broke Wednesday
morning the Floyd was tearing at its
bank. In the middle Of the night
wild gale began, and that, with the
rain, did the business Of death.
The Floyd runs east Of the thick
Of the city into the Missouri River,
which bends at this point, and
10 almost directly north. 1t comes
from the hills, and is an inconsidera-
BILE stream for the most Of its course
till it reaches Sioux City, where it
broadens somewhat. In dry weather
the numberless streams that feed it
It are mere bitches, but under such
storms as we have had lately they
grow wild. They gorged the Floyd.
The rising Of the wind forced the
water in the Floyd down through its
banks, and finally pitched volume
into the course through Sioux City
that would have strained the capac-
ity Of a great river. 1t reached the
town at 8 o'clock in wave about two
feet high, which roared over the
Floyd course and tossed spray up
about the piers OF the railroad
bridges. Preparations have already
been made for clearing out families
and personal property in the district
sure to be flooded, and under the in
structions of the police chief, mount
ed men had been sent from house to
house with a warning based on reports
from up the river. The first wave
rolled to the knees Of the horses Of
the patrolmen, but they kept about
their duty pushing through the flood
and driving families from the houses.
In cases this was difficult matter.
The Floyd had never shown anger
before, and even when the first rush
came many persons chung to their
little property and refused to leave
their homes. The mounted men
worked till the spray was dashing
over their horses TANKS and then
took to the high places with the hun
dreds of workingmen who had seen the
tide coming and had left the factories,
the packing-houses and the round
houses and scrambled for safety.

There was lull after the first
burst, and the people standing on the

The Cute Jap.

A gentleman travelling in Japan
broke the handspring of his watch,
which he took to native village
eweler. The watch was returned in
apparently as good go ng order as
ever, and kept good time until the
rainy season set in, when it stopped.
Being in the city of Toxic at that
time, the traveller took the watch TO
an English workman, who was aston
ished to find that the cunning Jap
had put in a spring made out OF bam-
boo, which so long as it kept dry re
NAMED elastic, but during wet
weather had gathered dampness and
lost its power.

sioux City's Calamity.

Sioux City correspondence: One Of
the saddest scene in the history Of
the food disaster of the West stands
revealed. The contemplate Floyd
River, which spread such desolation
through this city, has crept back to
its original narrow channel, leaving
vast piles OF shattered houses, torn
up streets, broken telegraph poles
and tangled masses of debris to at
test the fury with which it swept the
place, engulhng the homes Of hun
dreds and extinguishing human lives.
Not less than thirty-fve persons
were drowned, and just how many
more may have been borne to the
raging Missouri may never be known.
The flood did not sweep down in a wall
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1892-06-08

by side currents to the shore; some
went straight to the Missouri. 1t
was desperate task to face the fury
Of the flood, but many brave men
ventured out in small boats and
picked up the drowning men and
women. While the flood was at It's
height many Of these were saved by
ropes held by men in safe
places. Some were armed with ropes
and long poles, and large number
OF lives were saved in consequence.
One OF those thus rescued was Will
lam Mills. He came sailing down
with the tide in common dry-goods
box. Long before he reached the
trestle-work he had attracted the
peoples attention, and the life-sav-
ing rope was lowered and in waiting.
JusS before he reached it, however,
the box turned, and Mills all but
missed the rope. He succeeded in
grasping the rope, and was quickly
hauled up onto the level track.
Many incidents OF the flood were
thrilling. Chief Hawman rescued
Robert Cockran's family and Victor
Grillet's family from the roofs OF their
houses. Louis Krumann, a milkman,
saw two men go out in BOAT, chop a
hole in a roof, and draw out fam
lily who were shivering in the water,
that reached TO their chins in the
back room Of the top floor. The two
men started out on a second trip,
capsized, and were drowned.
The most pathetic incident con-
nected with the disaster was the
drowning of Andrew G.. Anderson,
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1892-06-08

Thursday no train entered the city.
Then train was pushed through on
the Chicago, Minneapolis and Omaha
line, from Manila, and the trip was
one Of the most perilous ever under
taken. A repair train was sent
ahead and the road was practically
built up ahead Of the passenger
coaches. At every mile waShouts
were encountered, and when Maple
ton was reached the train ran
through lakes bigger than those on
which clubmen sail in their yachts
in the summer time. The Maple
River had overlooked its banks
and for miles around the farms
lay under from three to ten feet Of
water. When the Little Sioux was
reached the situation was found to
be extremely dangerous. The road
here runs over a long trestle across
the bottoms that adjoin the Little
Sioux. The trestle Is six feet above
the bottoms, but there the water was
rushing tumultuously against the
tracks. A gale Of fifty miles an
Hour was blowing, and when 1t swept
over lake made by the flood for five
miles on either side it tossed up
breakers like those that rush across
Lake Michigan. Half way out
the engineer halted. The con-
sductor got out and signaled
him ahead. He went on through the
food. The passengers, in fear and
many Of them. white-faced, stood upon
the platforms and clutched at the
handrails. The waters sprayed around
. them and they could feel the trc stle
quaking. The trestlc passed, the
next danger point was the bridge over
the river, which was swinging be-
meath the blows of the noisy Little
Sioux. 1t was stanch, though, and
the train ran over in safety and
reached Sioux City.
Although nearly 1000 people were
rendered homeless there Is little desti-
tuition, as the relief committees are
carrying out the work Of assistance on
systematic principles, and besides
most of the heads Of families are en-
ployed in clearing up the debris left
by the flood. Sioux City is hopeful
and a few weeks more will see it
"boOmin" on the road to renewed
prosperity, as though financial loss
Of nearly 100000 had not been
visited upon it.

Scenes of Woe and Dissolution
The scene when the flood, having
receded, left the marks OF its deadly
hand on the city were most distress
ing. Piled up on all sides were seen
huge banks Of wood and iron, paving
blocks, the roofs of houses, telegraph
poles and big trees dragged from the
hills In the places where high
streets had been were mere boys, into
which the workmen sank to their
knees. Low expanses in the Floyd

child fell. The father was drowned,
but the other members Of the family
escaped. The mother was rescued by
an engineer who had himself been let
down from the railroad bridge to the
plank to which she chung.
Facing Dreadful Fate.
Houses disappeared completely and
the families clinging to the roofs
were seen next hundreds Of yards
down stream wildly striking out for
support from the drift. Some were
thrown unconscious into masses OF
wood piled against the bridge piers.
Still more were seen fighting for life,
tossed in the middle current Of the
stream. Some of these were thrown

Too Much Curiosity.

What was God doing all this time
before he made this world?" asked an
incipient Bob Ingersoll of a Harlem
Sunday-school teacher.
The teacher was silent for some
minutes, evidently absorbed in deer
thought, but arousing himself he
said:
God was growing switches with
which to drive out the curiosity OF
little boys" and drawing the boy
across the bench, the teacher allayed,
temporarily at least, the curiosity OF
the seeker after more light.-Texas

Valley were hip deep in water.
Looking up and down from the bridge
one saw spaces which were recently
dotted with little frame houses abso-
lutely bare of structures Of any kind.
In the places where tenants had been
thickest one only saw shattered skel-
etons Of homes. Railroad tracks
were twisted and forked, round
houses had been lifted and demol-
ished and the broken upper ends OF
poles hung to the trolley wires that
used to run the electric cars.
Around the bureau of information,
which had been organized by the
citizens, the scenes were most
pathetic. Mothers came looking for
their children, husbands for their
wives, and children for their parents.
In some cases the committee was
able to give information as to where
the missing ones could he found, but
it was too often the case that the
seekers went away benumbed at heart
In some cases the suspense became
grief, when it was broken by the an
nouncement Of the recovery of a
body.
The Work Of Relief.
AS soon as possible after the flood
the work Of rescue and relief was be-
gun. Private houses were thrown
open to the homeless and soup
kitchens were organized. The coun-
Gil voted S., 200 to the relief fund.
When Gov. Boies telegraphed the
Mayor an offer Of assistance that
official pluckily responded that Sioux
City could take care of herself. This,
however, was reconsidered when the
full magnitude Of the disaster became
known, and now relief is coming in
from all parts of Iowa.
The most gratifying features of the
visitation were the warm-heartedness
