The flood damage in this section has
done more damage than any previous
year Many homes along the river
south OF Hickman have been washed
away and stock has suffered considera-
bly, Mr.. Dick Tyler of Hickman has
been one of the. heaviest losers. He
owns about 1000 acres of land in che
bottom and has some saw mills and a
handle factory in the bottom. About
one half million feet of lumber at Mr..
Tyler's mill fioated away Saturday.
The lumber was valued AT about SO. 900.
About ten or twelve OF his tenement
houses on his farms have washed away
which will amount 10 many hundred
dollars Families in that vicinity have
suffered more than ever before from the
Hood Many Tefngees from Missouri
and other places have reached Hick-
man. Several houses are reported to
have washed away near Medley's Land
ing. The danger here has passed and
the river has begun TO fall, but very
slowly. 1t has receded only three or
four inches in the past two days. III
the pretty weather continues al will be
well in few weeks. The roads are
drying up fast and business in HEX
man is again beginning TO brighten up.
Memphis. Tenn. March 10. The
flood situation today shows number
of new and serious developments and
there is scarcely a ray of hope for i'm
proved conditions yet. except the fact
that tributaries of the Mississippi to the
north of Memphis are reported to be
falling.
One OF the most serious develops
ments of the last twenty four hours is
the washing out Of all lines of railroad
entering the city from the west and the
complete tying up of railroad traffic
the Memphis gateway 20 that
section. There have been no trains
either into or out of the city today
o yer the Memphis bridge. and there is
every indication that traffic cannot be
resumed until the food has subsidized TO
a considerable degree so that the tracks
are uncovered and may be repaired
where they have been destroyed.
So suddenly did the rise come IN the
section-of Arkansas across the river
from Memphis after the St Francis.

Denver, Aug. 17.-Deceipts of live

Yards for the month to date were
$500 cattle, 5000 hogs and 1900 sheep,
an increase OF 1000 cattle, 1000 hogs
and 1900 sheep compared with the
same period last year. The best paid
on steers was $40 for corn feds,
and bunch of cows averaging 1000
pounds sold at 1876. The demand
for feeders is very light and they
must be cheap to sell here. If steers
are in good flesh they may bring $4.0O
but 1880 and 1915 will be nearer the
mark.

Sounds a Note Of Warning.

A dispatch from Dixon, Ill, says :
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, Of the
u. S. circuit court, In an address
here before the Lutheran assembly
expressed his belief that In the super
vision Of monopolies by the govern
ment lies the only hope for the per-
petuatiOn of the American nation,
and sounded warning against the
manipulation Of securities in the in
terests of INSCRIPTIONS promoters
and spectators.
"In the fact that within the last
ten years. the deposits in savings
banks have increased from two bill
lion to ten billion dollars, a sinister
rather than Il sanguine meaning was
traced, the judge declaring that un-
der normal conditions this vast
amount would have been invested by
the laborlng classes, but ttat it was
lying idle because polite swindlers
and high-up rascals' were able to sub
vert the laws and give to stocks q
value that they do not really possess.
1--we can never go back to the days
OF our b0yhood,' said the speaker,
but we can go back to the days when
the man with 500 did not have to
hoard it or entrust it to his neighbor
for safe keeping, but could put it into
industries, sure that 1t would return
with earnings.
What should be done? Change
the laws SO that no set Of men can Or
ganize corporation except on a
strict legal basis. Then put it under
such supervision as the national
banks are subject to, and / believe
that, little by little, this immense
boarding in the savings banks of ten
billion dollars will be trickling into
ownership again.
" I say nothing against the man
who makes his fortune honestly
said Judge Grosscup, but 1 see the
laws of my country, introduced to en-
able men to consolidate money for
public good, turned into the excuse
for swindles that should land the
promoters in the penitentiary, and
when see that to he the almost uni
versal history of corporations, every
drop of my blood boils with hate and
revenge"
