and four hundred people were rendered
homeless by the worst flood that has
ever visited Eddyville. The entire
town is under water, and comparative
/ ly few houses have not been invaded
by the unwelcome element. On Main
street the water is from two to seven
feet deep and all the stores have suf-
tered terribly. Even the new banking
house of Manning & Epperson is flood
ed. The school house, the churches,
the city headquarters and other public
places have been turned into houses
have gone to the farm houses back in
the country, or to friends in other
towns The work of rescue has gone
nlanfully on by willing hands, and the
town has done itself proud in the way
1t has thus far cared for all its citizens.
Very little business is being transacted,
as the only means of transportation
thru the streets is by boats. Some OF
the dwelling houses in the lower parts
of town have as high as ten feet of
water in them. All light buildings have
been carried away by the swift cur
rent and the houses in the flooded dis
trict have all been badly damaged.
Families on the higher ground have
moved most of their belongings up
stairs and are ready either TO move up
entirely or leave the premises. The
wagon bridge and the Iowa Central
bridge were still intact Sunday but both
were expected to go out at any time.
The Iowa Central had a big gang of
men at work, doing all they could to
strengthen the weak places. The water
was almost up to the floor of the wa
gon bridge. The settlement across the
river from Eddyville was wiped COM
pletely from the map, and almost as,
far as the eye could reach was moth
ing but a sea of water. The flood COW
cred the Iowa Central tracks as far
as quarter of mile from the depot,
and north Of town was held in bounds
by the Rock Island grade. Below the
Rock Island depot, however. the
water overran the track, rendering
traffic too dangerous to be attempted.
Fully two thousand people from
Oskaloosa took advantage of the en-
cursions on the Iowa Central Sunday
to visit Eddyville and see the flood.
Despite the fact that no announcement
of the excursion was made until sun
day morning and Notwithstanding the
incessant rain that poured all day.
every train was loaded. After reach
ing the high land this side of Eddy
VILE the excursionists had to get off
and walk nearly Il mile down the Rock
Island tracks 10 get TO the town site
1t was muddy, disagreeable tramp,
but almost the entire distance was
lined all day with 4 double line of UNI
brellas and men and women In rubber
boots. Nearly every attendant, de-
spite their efforts TO keep dry. was
soaked to the skin. but the sight was
worth the soaking, and never did a
crowd put up with unpleasantness
with better grace.
