MANY ARE HOMELESS.
Hundreds of People In Des Moines
Forced to Sleep Outdoors Be-
cause of the Flood

Des Moines, Ia, July 12.-Hundreds
OF homeless flood sufferers spent
Thursday night in schoolhouse yards
and in downtown parks without so
much as a blanket to cover them.
Some had to beg for food, although
every possible effort is being taken to
provide for them. The charitable So
cieties and city officials are becoming
better organized and it is believed the
wants will be generally met.
The smallpox hospital and the city
hall and Jail have been filled with cots.
These can accommodate but small
portion of those who need shelter,
however, and tents are being distrib-
uted.
Neither the Des Moines nor the Rae
coon rivers have receded perceptibly.
The net decline since the highest point
was reached is but two or three inches,
and the Des Moines actually rose half
inch during the night. 1t is believed
the situation in the flooded district
cannot be materially relieved for sew
eral days and that when the water
finally reaches it's former channel an
epidemic of malaria and typhoid fever,
will prevail. An estimate of the dam
age at this time is practically impos-
sible. 1t is expected to reach mil
lion dollars.
The Great Western and Keokuk
& Western round houses are COM
pletely submerged and neither road
can cross the river owing to the
washouts and destruction of
bridges. The Great Western can haul
no freight, but is maintaining pas
senger service by transferring pas
sengers across the river by means of
omnibuses.
Topeka, Kan, July 12.-The Kaw
river here has risen one foot since
Thursday and is, still rising. The
lowlands are flooded. In North Topeka
several families have abandoned their
homes, which together with the First
Cumberland church, are surrounded
by water. There is four feet of water
in the basement of the Wolff pack
ing plant. Water is running over both
Garfield and City parks in this city,
and the. street railway tracks in the
outlying districts are submerged. The
street railway bridge in Topeka still
stands, but is in a shaky condition,
and the bridges at Willard and Valen-
cia, nearby points, are in danger.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 1.-THE
Missouri and the Kaw rivers here are
nearly one foot higher than Thurs
day, with Indications that they viii
continue to rise gradually for another
"a hours at least. The worst damage
is at the railroad town of Armourdale,
on the Kaw, where several streets are
under water from one to four feet
deep.

DEs MONIES FLOODED.
Highest Water in Fifty Years Does
Great Damage in the Cap
ital City of Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia, July 1.-THE flood
situation reached it's most alarming
stage in the history of the city Thurs
day morning. The Des Moines river
was u feet above low water mark at
seven o'clock, having risen three feet
in less than ten hours. 1t is still ris-
ing at rapid rate. The Raccoon river,
this place, advanced four feet between
3 and 1880 o'clock Thursday morning,
and is still going up.
The flood is at the highest point since
1851, when the river was six feet deep
over what is now occupied by thou
sands of residences, business houses
and factories. At that time the river
was but one foot higher than at pres
emit, and it is evident the old record
will soon be broken. Nothing but
levees protect all this district, and in
two score places they have either
broken or given way.
Hundreds of men are working des-
perately along the levees to save their
homes and property, but the water is
slowly driving them from their posi-
tions. Residents of South Des Moines
kept an anxious vigil all night long,
and at four o'clock, owing to the break
ing of large section of the levee,
were forced to flee. Many thrilling
rescues by boats are reported. Thou
sands of dollars worth of property
was destroyed in so minutes in South
M, r.. =. ~; ",
cut off from the rest of the city. Four
feet of water is rushing through a
district of 20 blocks occupied by res
licences. In North Des Moines a wide
breach in the levee occurred at eight
o'clock, and 400 residents were forced
to abandon their homes, and much of
their property.
Des Moines, Ia, July 11.-At ten
o'clock the Des Moines river ceased to
rise and by noon it had receded three
inches. Heroic work on the leyees
in North Des Moines repaired the
breaks and saved many valuable resi-
dences. The Raccoon river, however,
continued to rise and spread out over
an enormous territory. At noon it
had invaded the factory district and
nothing but the roof of the Keith
furnace factory and the Mccormick
Manufacturing company could be
seen. Thousands of dollars worth of
machinery in these places were de-
stroyed.
Council Bluffs, Ia, July 1.-THE
high waters throughout the western
part of Iowa are receding and all
roads running out of this city have
their trains nearly on time. Burling-
ton and Rock Islnnd branch trains in
the Nishnabola valley are experience
ing some trouble, but trains are run
ming regularly.
Sioux City. Ia, July 1.-THE waters
have begun to recede on the lowlands
near here and, as no rain fell to-day,
| it is believed the worst is over. The
damage done in Woodbury. county
alone is estimated by conservative men
at over $1,OOOO0O, and the total loss
NAV reach twice that amount
