The Missouri Pacitic transfer track conneeting that rond with the Rock Island has been washed away cntively, whilo sov- oral hundred feet of its track between the Rock Island and Burlington has been ham- mered by the waves until it is so badly dam- aged that it will have to be repaired before it can be used.

As nearly as can be determined 400 families nave been ariven from their homes by the tiood. These people are housed at'the Park school, First and K school, in the city hall and 10 the basement of the court house. Their aczomodations have ouly the merit of protection from the wind. Last night when ‘ne Bre representative visited the Park school he found the basement rooms filled to overflowing, mostly with women and children. At that time they had nothing to cat and but little to drink. Most of them huddled together like sheep in the furnace room. During tho night cooking stoves wera put up and this morning the unfortunate people were supplicd with plenty of bread and butter ana hot coffee. At the First and K school the people did not fare so well. Fully 800 people were gathered in the building which is completely surrounded by water. It has been diflicult to get food and sapplies w0 these people, but the authorities huvo done everything possible to make them com- fortable. Tonight itis believed thatall danger of further suffering is past. The people now aistributed around the city in temporary shelter will not be ablo o roturn to their liomes for several dags yet and their real sutfering will not commenco until then. Most of them will find their furniture, carpets, gardens, ote., completely ruined and a largo number of them will doubtiess need assistance. TRAF 16 MU " DINT RBED.
