the River.
TROOPS ARE SENT
Black River Falls is In Bad Shape in
More Ways Than One Since
the Dam Went
Out.

BLACK RIVER FALLS. Wis, Oct.
s-Pestllence and plundering are the
threatened results of the flood which
swept away fifty-nine business places
Friday. The situation became such
that the authorities decided to ask
the governor for aid, and word was
received that the Mauston and Fan
Claire companies of the national guard
will arrive to stop the thieving by
vandals, and there will be national
guard surgeons here to prevent dis
ease and enforce sanitary regulations.
The arrival of Ettinge Elmore, a
millionaire coal dealer OF Milwaukee,
as the official representative, paving
the way for a relief expedition from
I Milwaukee. brought hope to the peo-
pie whose places of business or en-
ployment have been swept away.
Mr.. Gilmore, the mayor, the sheriff
and other authorities, made definite
canvass to ascertain the needs and
found the financial loss totals $780,.
700, with still more to follow.
The flood is still so high that other
buildings may tumble into the stream
or will have to be rebuilt. The river
has changed it's course, where 1t runs
through the center OF the new channel
/ a quarter of a mile farther to the west
and nearly as far to the south below
the bend.
The individual losses run from IS,
600 to 100000, and the power of the
flood was such that it swept away the
sides of the hills themselves, where
they bordered the old river bed.
The flood, according to advices from
down river, reached the Mississippi
near Trempealeau, above Lacrosse ant

nois When New Campaign
is Launched Against
Flames.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Forty years ago
this morning those Chicagoans who
had been able to sleep during the
preceding night awoke to find the
city in flames.
To the farthermost suburbs smoke
obscured the sky. Every possible
conveyance was being pressed into
service to carry the homeless to
places Of safety.
Where twelve hours earlier had
stood proudly erect the city's business
district flames cracked and heavy
smoke rolled heavenward, carrying
with 1t the ruined hopes of the metrop-
oils of the west.
Hundreds of panic-stricken people
fled to the lake and waded out waist
deep and from that place of safety
watched the flames licking their way
from house to house.
Scores ran back into the flame-fed
area sacrificing their lives to rescue
relatives and save property. Three
hundred lives were snuffed out and
property damage amounting to $500,
100000 resulted.
Chicago was wiped out, physically
but the civic spirit was not destroyed
Today that undestroyed spirit will
assert itself and Chicago will be the
center of q nationwide movement fol
