floating RATS and slowly withdraw to
higher points, only to be again pushed
back. The apparent Indifference of some
of these people is astounding. They have
always lived in the same spot, and when
offers are made to remove them to places
of safety, they shake their heads and re-
fuse to be aided. With sacks of corn
carefully preserved. and with an OCCASION

strange land in which they have no kin

cured by excrtion. They have passed

ed to live through it somehow and the
most graphic description of the horrors to
come fails to move them. The water

thousands were saved who might have
persisted from hunger and cold. Nearly
10000 persons were carried to Memphis
alone. Not all the Villages, however, are
deserted. From some of them, which
stand on high ground, and where the water
runs through the streets at q depth of
only a few feet, none of the residents have
departed, but make the best of the situa-
ton by plying about in small boats.
Some of the scenes are graphically de-
scribcd by a writer who covered the en-
tire section when the water was at it's

way slowly over the vast body of water.
and stopped wherever human beings were
in sight to pick them up. He says:
"In this body of water are occasional

ditions are lofty bluffs and high ridges of
land. On these are gathered the popula-
ton for miles about, sleeping and living

lection of a bit of canvas hoisted above

How the Bucket Shops of Chicago
"Work" the Country.


John Hill, Jr.. chairman of the COM
mittee on gambling of the Chicago Civic
Federation. has been ut Eldora. Iowa.
before the Hardin County grand jury. 1T
is claimed he secured some valuable in
formation affecting the bucket shops al
legged to be running in that part OF the
State.
1t is claimed it has been proved to. the
satisfaction of the grand jury that Il GER
tain produce and stock exchange of Chi
cago is doing IL bucket shop business. 1t
is claimci there that the institution-act-
ing for the Chicago concern--took S3S.O00
out of Hardin County i'll one week last
January. and has secured from the peo-
pie of Iowa over $1.uDO,OUO during the
last four months.
Mr.. Hill has the names of man. losers.
as we'll as evidence in the eases. He
claims that agents of the bucket shops are
travelling over Iowa Systematically riga
iZing the business. and that the nlain
evidence is to the effect that two former
employees prove that the business is only
carried on the books of the company aud
not III the open market.
In an interview at Ellora MIR. Hill saih
few people had amy adequate idea of the
extent to which the State of Iowa is being
drained to enrich the bucket shop proprSe-
tors of Chicago. and that his mission now
is to secure evidence throughout the cnun-
try districts that would convict those men
| and drive them out of the business, which.
he asserts, has no connection whatever
| with legitimate market quotations or spec
| ulation in actual transactions on the
Board of Trade. but is II system of gam
bling in which the operator has every adj
vantage. no matter how prices may tinctu-
ate. md the patron is inevitably a loser
if he stays in after the initiatory stage of
the game.
The Chicago house has leased wires
from the Western Union Telegraph Cons
pany running through Illinois. Indiana.
Ohio and Iowa. 1t establishes agencies
in small towns where no other bucket shop
or legitimate house is represented, it's OBJ
ject being, apparently. to avoid compare
sons of prices with the quotations of other
houses.
