THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.


Observer Signal Service. U. S. A.
THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river is swelling slowly here, but
rising at Cairo and St. Louis, as will be
observed by the telegraphic statement
above. The Ohio is swelling rapidly at
Cincinnati, and another coal rise is re-
ported at Pittsburg. The Arkansas and
White rivers are getting low, and the
former is so full of snags that at the
present stage of water, it is almost worth
boats insurance to go up that stream.
The weather changed considerably yes
terday and last night, and instead Of
standing at 62o, as it did yesterday, the
mercury this morning stood at 260. A
corresponding decline in the tempera-
ture is noticed elsewhere by the signal
dispatches At Chicago, l50; Cincin'
natl, 2s0; Davenport, lo'; Louisville,
24o; Nashville, 260; New Orleans, 400 /;
Omaha, 10; ST. Louis, l50; st. Paul, 50;
and Keokuk, 80. The polar wave that
has so uncersmoniously swept down
upon the country bordering on the rivers
will check the rise now coming down
the Ohio, as well as the Mississippi, and
instead Of a big river, as some expected,
there will not likely be much Of food
before the regular June rise.
