ALTON, H., May 9i.-Thc floods on
the Mississippi have left in their wake
nothing bnt devastation and woe.
Hundreds OF thousands OF wcl-tilled
farms, two weeks ago rich In waving
grain, are now under ten feet of water
or piled high with mud and driftwood.
Their owners or tenants, driven TO the
NJ per stories of their fnrmhouscs by
the flood, were prisoners there withouS
food TO eat or fires to keep them warm,
and did not dare close their eyes in
sleep, In this terrible disaster the
citizens of Alton have shown true
nobility, and day ana night
they fought their way in every con-
ceivnble form OF boat through tho
whrling, eddylng river TO rescue tho
imprisoned farmers But many of the
farmers, robbed OF every other form OF
property, refused to leave their sub
merged farmhousos until their stocls
was placed in safety, alike from tho
flood and the cattle thieves and river
pirates who like vulturcs prowled
about To reap their harvest from the
woes of others. From an upper story
of one small house twcnty-seven per.
