The Water.
About two thousand head of livestock
were drowned at Sioux City stock yards
on the 18th. The round-house of the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha road was damaged to the extent
of $40,000. Eight thousand people were
driven from their homes. All business
in the city was suspended. The damage
to property is estimated at 1,500,000.
Miles of cedar block paving was washed
out. At Springdalo, a suburb, a woman
stood in the second story or a house 000
yards out, holding her baby out or the
waters, and two men had been drowned
in the attempt to rescue her. Tho gas
and electric light plants were under
water. Twenty-five persons aro known
to have lost their lives. It is feared that
the walls of tho packing houses are
badly injured and an immense amount
of stored meat is certainly destroyed.
At Lincoln the Hood was two feeM

Veterans" Route to the Encampment.
Veterans going to the G. A. R. En

via the B. it O. B, R. will traverse terri
tory fraught with a thousand reminis
cences of the conflicts in which they
figured so gallantly. Along Cheat river,
on the western slope of tho Alleghanies,
they will pass the scenes of Gen. Mc
Clellan's victories over Gen. Floyd in
the early stages of the war. At Grafton

OPhillippi. At Piedmont they will enter
the historic Potomac vallev, which was
debatable ground all the wav to Wash

of the mountains, along the banks of the

the B. & O. R. R, which the Government
zealously guarded as the great highway
of communication between the West and
the National Capital, and which is the

DESOLATED BY FLOOD

lessRelief Work Going: On Damage
Will Reach S5,000,000 Around Kansas
City The Sioux City Flood.
St. Louis, May 23. When daylight
spread over the submerged districts in
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys
this morning the outlook was more dis
couraging than at any time since the
beginning of the floods. The temporary
fall of the river was checked late last
night and the water is again
rising, with no prospect of
cessation until it reaches the
highest point registered in the last half
centurv. Recent rains in northern
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska
have swollen the flood in the Missouri
river and that stream is now pouring
into the Mississippi river a greater
body of water than ever
before. From Alton to St Charles,
twelve miles from the mouth of the
Missouri river, the country is one vast
body of muddy water. The water has
worked its way around the high land
and for miles back of these cities the
countrj is inundated to a depth of
from two to six feet. The same con
dition exists for many miles down the
river toward St. Louis, and should the
flood begin to recede to-day it will be
many weeks before the river will have
returned to its regular channel.
The amount of damage and suffering
caused by the overflow can scarcely be
estimated. The whole country is a
desolate waste. Hundreds of families
arcdriven from their homes, their live
stock drowned and crops destroyed.
To add to the serious condition of the
beleaguered people sickness has over
taken them to an alarming extent.
They have been living in improvised
huts, tents and poorly constructed
buildings, and as a result of the ex
posure many families are suffering
from pneumonia and other sickness in
cidental to cold and wet weather.
A public relief committee has been
organized in this city, and already
$10,000 has been subscribed for the re
lief of the destitute.
Gov. Fifer of Illinois and staff
reached Alton this morning, and ac
companied b.y the Alton relief commit
tee, boarded a steamer and began a
tour of the flooded district- The Gov
ernor will, if necessary, call a special
session of the Illinois Legislature with
a view of making an appropriation
for the relief of the inhab
itants of the submerged dis
trict. The Governor has given orders
that the tents, blankets, cots, and
other quartermaster's stores at the ar
senal be used for the temporary relief
of the refugees of the inundated bot
tom lands, and should these prove in
adequate the United States quarter
master's stores at Chicago will be called
upon.
The water commenced to rise in the
northern part of St. Louis at midnight
last night and has been gradually ris
ing up to noon to-day. The guage
shows that the rise has overcome the
fall of yesterday and the worst is ex
pected. DAMAGES OF 85,000,000.
Estimate of the Effects of the Flood at
Kansas City and Vicinity.
Kansas City, Mo., May 23. The
Missouri river rose about an inch last
night and is now stationary again,
with reports from above indicating
that a fall is coming. The Kaw fell six
inches at Manhattan last night and is
falling a little there now. At St. Jo
seph, Mo., and Plattsmouth, Neb., the
water is stationary and above there a
slight fall has been noticed. It rained
all last night and is still threatening
here to-day. As the water begins to
go down an estimate is being made of
the actual damage done in this vicinity.
There are now in Harlem, Argentine,
Armourdale and West Kansas over one
thousand houses which have been de
serted and are surrounded by water.
It is impossible to more than make a
rough estimate, but it is believed that
the damage actual and resultant will
amount to fully 55,000,000 in this im
mediate vicinity.
Sioux City Needs Help.
Sioux City, Iowa, May 23. Only one
more body has been found. The sensa
tional reports sent out about another
flood from Big Sioux river last night
are unfounded. It is cold and
snowing, but no further floods
are expected. Sufferers are being
cared for. At a joint meeting of the
committees appointed by the citizens
of Sioux City to provide ways and
means for the relief of flood sufferers
held this morning it was agreed to say
to the benevolent people of the country
that the losses far exceed the first es
timate, and that whatever aid may be
offered will be gratefully accepted. All
contributions should be made to Maris
Peirce, mayor, or J. C. French, treas
urer ot the relief committee.

The train was stopped by the waving

and fireman, at the muzzle of revolvers,
to run the train down on the trestle, two
hundred yards distant. While this was
being done the other two robbers en
tered the expresb-car, and in tin en
counter with them Saunders was killed.

OSWEGO'S LOSS $400,000.
Six Mammoth Grain Elerators and Other
Property Destroyed.
Oswego, N. Y., May 23. It is diffi
cult to obtain a complete list of the
losses by this morning's fire. The as
sessed valuation of the elevators burned
is S148.000. This is not one-half
of the value, however. The Wash
ington mill and elevator is valued
at 3100,000 and is insured for
$40,000 on building and machinery and
$20,000 on stock. The Columbia is own
ed by the Jesse Hoy testate, New York.
The Merchants, is assessed at
$50,000 and was to-day without insur
ance. The insurance on the Continental
is not yet known. The Corn Exchange,
owned by John H. Hankinson, New
York, is partly insured. The Marine is
insured for $40,000 on the building and
880,000 on the stock. This loss is fairly
covered. The Northwestern elevator
was on fire several times and the grain
in store is slightly damaged. Rath
bun's loss on lumber is $12,000, covered
by insurance. It is estimated that the
elevator costs cost $330,000. The total
loss is now estimated at less than
$400,000.

"Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers havo repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children."
Du. O. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Moss.
4 Castoria is the best remedy for children ot
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distai: t when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and ilso Castoria in
stead ot the variousmiack nostrumawhieh aro
destroying their lored ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature groves."

ond attack of tho grip this year," says
Mr. James O. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "Tn tho latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Item
ed, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a littlo over two
days, against ten days for tho first at
tack. Tho second attack 1 am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as tho
first but for tho use nf this remedy, as T
had to go to bed in about six hours after
being struck with it, while in tho first
case I was able to attend to biihiness
about two days before getting 'down.'"
