many for each separate family.
Enough food is supplied 10 keep the
charges Of the RELIEF committee from
hunger; very few of them have eaten
hearty meal since the flood washed
them out of their homes. They are un-
complaining, however, and most OF them
express their thanks for what has been
done for them. and are patiently wait
ing for further conveniences.
HE IS GRATEFUL
One old man named ]. F. Pierce, who
was driven from his home on lower
ious that his gratitude be made public
Said he:
Il want to thank the people of To-
peka for what they have done for me
and wish that they should know that
appreciate their efforts for my relief.
A reporter called upon almost every
family in the village and only one or
two made complaint. Those who were
in want of conveniences acknowledged
it freely but expressed the hope that
they would be taken care of soon.
There are seventeen families IN the
village. Fourteen of them are in tents
and three in wagons. Among them are
the following:
J. F. Pierce and family of three, from
Kansas avenue; G. B. Mitchell and
family of seven from same locality; Al
Douglas and family of three from $40
Garfield street: Perry Gilbert and fam
lily of four, from Madison street near
Savwell; Perry Tomlinso%, mother and
brothers; Joe ConweH. wife and son;
". H. Sbipley and family of three from

There are. besides these families named,
Miller, Smith, Griffin, Herring and Duff
fer. A negro with a white wife and
several mulatto children moved into the
camp Tuesday, much to the disgust OF
the other inhabitants, all of whom are
white.
Probably the most comfortable refu-

at the corner of Seventeenth and To-
peka avenue. These families have am
pie room. plenty of clothing and good
shelter. They are the Gruhn. Reed.

thirty people in all. They are well quar-
tered and win need little further assist

EAST ST. LOUIS FLOODED
Embankment Broke and DeIuged
Five Hundred Houses.

ST. Louis, June 10-Shortly after mid
night the Illinois Central embankment
at the Valley railroad crossing in East
St. Louis was washed through and the
entire lower portion of East St. Louis
was flooded. About 500 homes were de-
luged. The people are greatly excited
and at 1 O'Clock began building a dixie
on the roadway in an effort to keep the
water from other portions of the city.
Word was received here at 2:10 o'clock
that the water is rising into East St.
Louis from the south side in a torrent
and people are fleeing for their lives.
The heavy pressure tore away the Hi
nois Central embankment. swept other
barriers aside and flowed on in torrent
to the southern portion Of the city. There
is no means of communicat ton except
by telephone and the excitement is SO
great that little can be learned. The
business portion of the city is from TO
feet below the flood level and if the
water pours through the streets. the
property loss will be heavy and many
lives probably will be lost.
