Great Damage at Cairo.

No serious damage has resulted from
the flood.
Great Damage at Cairo.
Cairo, ILL.,, April 5.-The Illinois
Central tracks through the drainage
district went out with the food last
night and more than 5000 feet of the
road is gone. The river at Cairo has
fallen i of a foot in the last twen-
ty-four hours.
The drainage district north of Cairo
this morning presented a scene OF
desolation. Lumber from houses and
sheds float about the district in water
probably 10 feet deep, while here and
there the tops of houses may be seen
floating about. The water went into
the eastern part of the district with
rush. Lumber piles were turned
over and tossed about like toothpicks.
All the workers have been brought
from the drainage district to work on
the levees here. The work will con-
tinue until the high water is passed.
The only rail connection Cairo has
today, is by tug boat to Mound City,
where connection is made with the
Big Four.
Utter pssoIation.
Hickman, n. Y, April 5-A picture
of utter desolation was presented by
this flooded town today whether it be
view of the tented city which shelf
| ers 5000 homeless persons or the ap-
parently unlimited waste Of muddy
water that stretches out before them
and the thread of levee on which men
! are working with feverish energy to
| thwart the river.
| The climax Of the catastrophe may
come at any minute with the breaking
| Of Reel Foot levee below here. Hun
dreus of men are trying to strengthen
| Ii against erosion and should It go
out unexpectedly it is feared many
lives will be lost as means Of escape
| for the workers is limited.
The crest Of the river is already
washing over the levee in many
/ places and several ominous leaks have
been discovered and stopped in the
last twenty-four hours.
Thieves are becoming active In the
flooded section Of west Hickman. The
county authorities are discussing the
advisability OF making a request for
company of militia to protect prop
erty.
Refugees continue to arrive in great
numbers. Their financial losses are
temporarily obscured by personal suf-
fering and anxiety over kinsmen.
On the hill where the tents have
been put up, the women Of Hickman
have assisted in preparing a camp for
the refugees, distributing food, cloth
ing and bedding.

Lexington, KY, April 5.-Reports

Memphis, Tenn, April 5.-New
breaches that appeared in the levees
holding back the Mississippi added to
the menace of the flood situation last
night and at dawn, couriers were on
their way behind the long stretches Of
weakening embankments, warning the
planters out of the danger path.
From Golden Lake, fifty miles north
of Memphis, to Hubert, Ark, the con-
ditions today appear particularly
threatening. A stretch OF revetment
30 yards long threatens to collapse.
The farmers have abandoned the
low lands and the residents of HUI
while the merchants are packing their
stocks to be moved to places Of
safety.
Star Landing. Ark, is also in imme-
diate danger and at half a dozen
points the levees south Of Cairo
threaten collapse. AS far south as
Bayou Sara, the low lands outside
the main levees are inundated. Farm
ers have moved their families to the
towns and their stock and farming
implements to high ground.
The government dredge fleet at
Memphis is being utilized in saving
life and property. Gasoline launches
were sent out from Charleston, Mo-, to
Birds Hill and Wyant to rescue resi-
dents of the two villages who were
reported to be clinging to housetops
and in trees. In answer to an appeal
from Randolph, Tenn, squad of
militia men left today with tents and
food for the refugees.
At Memphis this morning the stage
was 44.2 feet, a rise Of a since z
o'clock last night.

Eagle Grove, Aug. 2S.--Eagle Grove

has been received from the rost"'l,ce

free delivery of mail has been granted
1t will be put in effect as soon as the

At the close of the last fiscal year
the receipts of the office were s"itl-
cent to call for the establishment OF
the free mail delivery. and a postonice
inspector was here short time ago
and after looking over the situation.
he recommended that 1t be established
at once.
Our streets were properly labeled a

The fact is revealed at the state
fair now in progress that there has
been some decline In the live stock
industry in Iowa and that things are
not booming as much as they have
been in the past. The stock men say
that this is because Of the high price
of land and the hightr price Of grain.
II the farmers are able to sell their
grain and hay at fancy prices they will
neglect the live stock business. That
is what is happening In Iowa Just now.
The number of horse and cattle en-
tries at the state fair Is not as large
as in the past, but all Of fine quality.

business for a few days. As he has
relations there. and there had been no
family trouble whatever. she thought
nothing of It, Before he went he
gave his wife money to buy medicine
for his little sick girl. He took 80
umbrella that belonged to his sister
in Atlantic. that he might return It..
This sister and family happened to be
away that afternoon. but they found
the umbrella on their return. Outside
