city OF Madison, having a population
OF about five thousand, with scarcely
a dozen houses above the water and
some completely submerged.
The inmates Of the school house
numbered about 800. | shall never
forget one lady in particular. She
and two small children were there
with not a change of clothes, nothing
to eat and nowhere to lay their heads.
She informed US her husband re-
NAMED at home TO save what he could,
but parties told her he was drowned;
but in about two hours, to her great
Joy, she saw him coming.
You can't conjecture the conditions
of affairs in the school house that
night. No doubt some prayed who
never did before. About 8 o'clock the
water began to run Into the basement,
and we knew ii il continued to rise at
that rate it would soon be on the first
floor. But about midnight it ceased
to rise so rapidly. When morning
dawned a vast ocean Of water sur
rounded US, with only three small
islands visible.
By noon some boats could be seen
breasting the waves, but very few ap.
peared TO be out to rescue. In the
afternoon one or two boats came from
St. Louis, and assured US more would
come in the morning and all would be
rescued; sure enough, when morning
came a number of boats arrived and
offered to take all who desired 10 60 TO
Merchants Bridge or to the Anna
Russell boat, and from thence to North
Market or Olive streets.
Wife and | started to St. Louis about
II A. NJ. Tuesday. | shall never for
get Mr.. G. Pate, who rowed usAto the
Anna Russell. He was the most
skilled oarsman l ever saw. The
distance to the boat was about one
and a half miles, and he rowed with
80 much skill that no floating timbers
or buildings were encountered.
After taking wife to a friend on
Lawton avenue, and securing q pass
from the chief of police, l returned to
Madison to wait until the water sub
sided in order to ave what | could at
our home, but not until June 18th
could enter, and then only by wading
in water up to my waist inside of the
house. Not until June 10Th did the
water leave the floor. You can i'm
agine the condition OF our furniture
when | tell you the water was five feet
five inches deep in the house.
Pat Reilly stated to the Post Dispatch
that one pay would put US all right.
1t Is q false report, for a dozen pays
won't do it. A relief committee in
each of the ri.cities are distributing
to all who make application, to the
amount Of about $l5.

MADISON. ILL, July 10, 1908.
Ed. RegsSter:-No doubt you have
read a great deal about the flood Of
1908, which swept v e a part of Kan
sas, Missouri and Illinois, but mas
much as wife and l were among its
victims, we, too, will give you some
facts concerning its disastrous effects.
Several days previous to the break
ing of the levee in Venice, Sunday,
June 7th, l inquired of a number Of
persons. whom | considered authority,
what they thought about the river,
but they all assured me there wasn't
any danger at all. They also said If
we got any water at all, it wouldn't
amount to auything--possibly a few
inches In our yards. Believing them,
l didn't make any effort to get my
furniture out until after the levee
broke, and then I didn't have time
enough. Sunday afternoon l was
busily engaged in ~elevating my furni-
ture and carrying some articles to Mr..
Trott's home.
About 5.P. NJ. wife and / went to the
East Madison school house, but upon
arriving and seeing how rapidly the
water was rising, | decided to return
to our house and bring some OF our
bedding; and we'll | did, for upon
arriving | found the water around our
house, and rising at q very rapid rate,
| made three trips, and the last one |
waded in water almost 70 my waist.
No doubt some thought the papers
exaggerated about the food, but |
think not. just think Of the little

The Belle of Leisure.

BY c. V. +.
I'm a lovely belle of leisure,
And dress myself just fine;
To run about, and CAD about,
l always have the time.
I'm a lovely Belle of leisure,
| always live at ease;
My nav she does the ~housework,
| do just as l please.
Pm a lovely belle of leisure,
My hands are white as snow;
My nav she does the washing,
And bakes the bread you know.
| sit on the veranda,
Waiting for my beau;
My nav she does the sewing,
While driving out l go.
Pm a lovely belle Of leisure,
l love to ride a wheel,
Or go and play lawn tennis,
While nav she gets the meal.
Pm a lovely belle of leisure,
Go to parties and to balls;
I've got the cutest beau in town,
Three times a week he calls.
Nav cooks the Sunday dinners
And clears the things away;
Gets supper in the evening
And asks my beau to stay.

Angels bright have borne him

From a world of sin and sadness
He took thy darling boy
To heaven, where all is gladness,
Hope and love and Joy.
Think of another meeting,
When the cares of life are DER,
Think of an angel greeting
Upon the heavenly shore!

st. Francois county for murder, was at
a relatives house near Patton. MI.
Dooley is badly wanted for killing a

An attempt was made in the Pied

the city license for saloons from 800
