tn Il HIGH WATER
The State Of Afiairs at Present--AndL
SWhat Is Beirg Done in the Way OF
Relief,

The often repeated question, how is
the water" can be answered by saying
that probably the worst is over. Author
tiles who have been watching tho river
closely state that at midnight the water
ceased to rise, and has continued station
ary ever since. AT 6 q. m. to-day the
stage of water at the bridge was 1910 and
been on stand since according to the
best official information. With fall OF
several inches at Dubuque as reported.
wa must soon experience fall here. but at
first it will not be Erapid. In general
appearance matters are much the same as
they were yesterday. and there is no like
lihood now of their being any worse. for
should rise take place at st. Paul. which
was reported but not confirmed, the tall in
the meanwhile will save any increase here,
and the chances are that there will not 10
any case be an increase that will amount
to anything.
The Relief Committee have been hard
at work since the evening of Thursday and

the responses to their calls have met in
every instance with promptness and open
handed generosity. Last evening the
collectors responded to the disbursing
coin mittee. and the sum $l,02s had been
obtained in actual cash: $50 had been
collected in provisions and lumber. and
500 more had been pledged. The First
ward canvassers made a most excellent
showing yesterday having obtained $685.
so, In this was the handsome donation
of $3.50 from Mr.. P. l.. Cable, There
was number of subscription of $25 $40
s5 and other similar and lesser sums.
The collectors to-day report the work
going Oh bravely and when they
make their report this evening
the above figures will be very much aug.
mentsd The disbursing committee have
been also vigorously at work. and orders
have been issued and help offered where
ever it was required or could in any way
give relief Parties requiring relief can
obtain it by applying to Mayor Carse and
the city officers, aud others whose names
have already been published. A number

Our Theatre.

During the week which is now drawing
to close, Harper's Theatre has beer
opsn every evening. and the Florence
Herbert Company now we'll known here,
has given a series OF most interesting and
high classed plays. a change of pro-
grammc has been made nightly and a
variety in the way of choice, has been
presented, such as is only to be found in
large cities Tho performances have
been fairly attended but snot so we'll as
they should have been. aud many of our
citizens are hard to convince that anything
is good unless it is highly priced and
heralded with trumpets of fame. Those
who have attended these performances
have returned but one verdict. and that
of satisfaction aud pleasure. The days
have gone when high prices can be obtained

ascertained that they employ it to make
hotbeds, upon which their eggs are depo-
sited to be Matched by the heat produced
blythe fermentation of the leaves. The ants
do not eat these portions for food, and the
larvae are fed upon q carefully selected
diet. Once the brood is Matched. the ants
clear away the hotbed, carrying out OF
their nest all the decomposed vegetable
matter. This is thrown out 10 heaps apart,
and in the large ant hills these heaps will
contain a bushel and upwards. Many
efforts have been made to exterminate
these ants, at least 10 the vicinity OF farms
or gardens; but whetherthe nests occur In
paintings or in uncultivated grounds all
attempts have failed. Our Consul, Mr.. B..
B. White. however, believes that he has
discovered an eficacious remedy. and it was
shown to him by a negro. When q plan
tation or garden is attacked, all one has to
do isto procure a'quantity of the debris from
the hotbeds thrown out OF an ant-hlll
entirely uDconpected with that from which
the invading ants proceed. Scatter this
around the beds and on the ant roads, and
the effect is marvellous. The ants seem
seized with a panic they drop their bur
dens instantly ; the word seems passed
along the roads, and empty-handed the
whole of the invading army hurrles off to
its own nest. They will not return to the
same place for many days and even when
they do they avoid all spots in which
traces of this, 10 them, offensive matter
remains. The smallest quantity will
suffice, and a bushel will defend acres of
ground. Mr.. White. in a letter to the
secretary of the. Geological Society of
London. which is published in fuD in thu
society's Proceedings, declares that he has
seen this plan tried repeatedly, and it has
never failed. The biggest army OF ants
pioneers, engineers, directors general. and
all-is utterly discounted by this very
simple means of defence. This plan is not
generally known, even in the State Of An
tioquia (wbere these ants abound), and he
thinks that our c%olonists might proitabIy
be made acquainted with it.-Iimes.
