The Beafher and Rivers.
Ice water and lemonades were the
principal tonic indulged in by the ma
rine yesterday, and sun-shades, palm
leaf fans and cotton umbrellas decorated
the august personages who unfortunate
ly are compelled to work for the interest
of the commerce of the great father oil
waters. Some declared the weather
warm, while Others expressed them
selves more forcibly, and well they
might, as the mercury at eight O'Clock
in the morning stood at ninety degrees
in the shade, and later in the day went
up about two pegs farther, the shades OF
night reducing Il but a fraction. The
river came to a stand early in the
declined an inch, the level then being
26 feet IL inches above low-water mark.
The changes at other points along the
different streams were reported by sig
nal kilograms as follows: Brunswick,
Missouri, rise Z feet 5 inches; Daven-
port, rise inches; Herman, rise
Inches; Jefferson City, rise 2 feet
inches; Leavenworth, rise 2 inches;
Shreveport, rise S inches; st. Louis, rise
2 inches; Cairo, fall feet; Cincinnati,
l foot; Evansville, 20 inches; LexiDg-
ton, Missouri, feet inches; Louisville,
. inches; Nashville, 10; Paducah, 10;
Pittsburg, 3. The Arkansas was rising
slowly at last accounts, and White river
is falling. Quite considerable rise is
coming out of the lower Missouri tribu-
taries, but with that exception there are
no changes of great importance.
Movements Of Boats.
Considerable business was done at the
landing yesterday. The John B. B.Maude
went up at daylight for st. Louis, DIS
charging here 100 tons, 50 of which was
for reshipment on the Batesville, that
boat leaving as soon as she got it on
board. The John Kyle got out her 1910
bars of railroad iron in good time, and
after getting about twenty cabin passen-
gers left before noon. The Julia left for
st. Louis at 10 am, adding 700 sacks
of corn for that market. The Richmond
came UP early, and laid here until late
last night to discharge 1890 bars of rail
road iron and 100 packages vegetables.
She had 100 cabin passengers and $50
tons freight, principally vegeta-
bles for the Ohio. The Kittie
Hegler, from the Arkansas, On..her way
to Cincinnati, added here 203 bales of
cotton, making her about 400 bales in
all. The Falls Pilot, with tow of coal,
arrived night before last, and was to
have returned last night with an empty
tow. The Rankin, from Pine Bluff, ar
rived just before. dark with 1000 sacks
cOtton-seed and eight bales of cotton.
The City of Chester was expected down
