The following letter has been received by Sbepard from his son Willis, ot Sioux City. EOMUNU SIIEPAKD, Iowa City. Dw you come up, it might be well to gather up any old clothes that you may have about the house, and bring with you There are many here to whom the oid clothes will be very acceptable. The number flood sufferers is about 4,000 This includes men, women and children. Sioux City has finally had to admit that the job is a bigger one than she can swing alone The SJOUK City Northern railroad has miles of (rack to rebuild at a cost of $16,000 per mile, besides loss to rolling stock, materials, etc.

This is only a sample. To any city but City this flood calamity would have been a "crusher," but to Sioux City it simply means a tightening on of the harness and bigger work to do. This city certainly has many men of whom any community might be proud. Lovingly, WfLIJ.t. Mr.

Shepard makes the following announcement: It is thought best by my friends to collect a box of clothing, for women and children, as well as men, to send to Sioux City. Any good serviceable clothing left at Starkey's auction house in care ot Claud Holt, will be forwarded to me at Sionx City for distribution. E. SHEPARD. THE CITIZEN orges tbat by all means the good people of Iowa City come to the aid of those of a less fortunate sister city, There is nothing that so binds two communities together as 2 manifestation of the spirit of generosity, and at the present time Iowa City has the opportunity to place Sionx City under everlasting obligations.

Now, it happened that he did not know my horse, so tbat, instead of taking what he supposed to be my carriage, he took a farmer's carriage tbat was also standing in front of my office, and drove off over Ihe bill, singing, 'My la rich in houses am! land.

He knew that his horse would not have run away if the University battalion had discharged a volley over its head. While he was thus wondering what had become of his horse. I came down stairs, ant! he promptly told me his story Seeing my horse still hitched at its post, 1 saw the whole situation and thought here was 3 chance ior some fun, so I told him tbat there was a very obnoxious individual in the city who was in tbe habit of driving off with rigs that he found hitched on the street when he thought be could return them without being discovered; that 1 had seen this same man drive over College Hitl in a carriage 'Well, 1 will fix replied the farmer. 'I will show him wbgse property he is using without And away he went over tbe hill, muttering something to himself about Amsterdam, Rotterdam and mill dam.

In the meantime I slipped into a store and totd the proprietor of the job I had put up on tbe Reverend Doctor, who immediately put on bis hat and followed in the wake of the enraged farmer. Just as the Hever- end Doctor came on his return over the hitl singing the last verse of 'When pence like river attenileth my the farmer met him. Rushing up to him and thrusting bis fist into his face, he cried, 'You scoundrel, what do you mean, Oh, I have caught you at In vain did tbe surprised Reverend attempt to explain, for it only increased the OUtftd wrath.
