TO AID THE DEPARTMENT.
Volunteer Firemen Favor Turning Old
Funds Over to the City.

The scheme that is being proposed
for the disbanding of the volunteer
Ere department is meeting with a
great deal of support among the fire.
men in the city who have grown tired
of the department work and who be-
lieve that the city should have paid
department. Before any such change
is made, however, the members of the
volunteers are insisting that the funds
now in the keeping of the department
be turned over to the city for the pur-
chase Of some permanent improve
ment for the department.
This fund consists of thousand dol
lars in money which has been in the
keeping Of the department of the vol
unteers for nearly half century. It
was raised in the days of Fred S.
Lowell and S. Y. Brande, and ever
since their connection with the de-
partment it has been at interest, and
the income of it has been divided
among the volunteers.
With the breaking up of the depart
ment it would be unfair to divide this
fund among the few volunteer fremen
now in the department, and it should
be turned into the city treasury and
form the nucleus for fund for the
erection of a new engine house in the
Third ward.
The council is looking into the plan
for call men and it is possible that the
matter will be taken up irrespective of
the petition of the volunteers and the
call men named as regular officers of
the city. With this plan the two per
cent premium would be paid into the
city treasury and the city would
pay the regular salary to her call
firemen.

FLEEING FROM THE FLOOD.
Families Around La Crosse Taking to the
Hills-Mlles Of Farming Land lnun-
dated and Crops DESTROYED.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 1S.-Hundreds
Of families In the district adjacent to
La Crosse are fleeing with what valu-
ables they can grasp to the hills which
skirt the Mississippi to escape death
in the floods which are sweeping the
Mississippi valley. On advices Of the
United States weather bureau station
here yesterday the entire police force
was detailed to warn the residents Of
the surrounding lowlands that the
worst flood In the history Of the state
was to strike La Crosse last night or
early to-day. Mounted couriers were
dispatched in every direction and 1t is
believed that the warning was sent out
far enough to prevent loss Of life.
Farms within rs miles Of La Crosse
are being deserted and in many In
stances the stock has been drowned
before 1t could be driven away. Miles
upon miles of farming land is mum
lated and crops, barns and all proper
y is being flooded and destroyed. As
yet no loss Of life has been reported.
Roads and bridges north of here have
,een swept away and 1t is impossible
o drive from one county to another.
The weather bureau station here
'redicts 13-foot stage on the Missis-
ippi here by Saturday morning, which
1ill mean that the Easements and first
oors In the wholesale district in La
,rosse will be flooded. The losses can
ot be estimated now, but will prob
bly, reach several hundred thousand
ollars before the waters recedo.
