A COMMENTATOR LETTER.
GLAsFoRD. Peoria Co, |
January 81, 1881.

[ wish to communicate through
your paper a few facts in relation to
the sickness of my wife, and her re-
markable benefit received at the hands
of Mrs DIR. Keck, thinking that L may
in this way influence some suffering
fellow beings to seek the aid which
may restore them My wife has been
laboring under chronic affections, in
Cluding catarrh, for II years, and has
been treated for the same most of that
time, without material benefit. until
she applied at the Office of Mrs. Dr.
Keck, in Peoria, last fall. She had not
then spoken a loud word for nearly 5
months, having lost her voice while
under other treatment. She was tire
atened with paralysis, her entire left
side being very weak and numb, her
nervous system was completely shat~
tered, her lungs in serious condition
and her health falling rapidly Her
hands and feet were always cold, so
that it was almost impossible TO warm
them. showing a poor circulation and
condition of the blood.
About October 1st, 1880, she applied
at the office of Mrs. DR.. Keck, in Pc
oria, for advice and treatment, which
she continued faithfully at home until
the middle OF December. She made
in Peoria in the meantime, to obtain
necessary directions and medici es,
and improved very much, Her voice
was still gone, however, and [ had
very little hope that she would ever
recover it, although Mrs Dr. Keck said
that her remedies were working splen
didly on her system, and that if she
would now accompany her to Dayen-
port Intirmary to receive extra treat
nent she would recover her voice and
health But still dOuotinr, took my
wife to several physicians OF emil
nence for examination and opinions
They agreed with Mrs, HECK as to
what t-.e trouble was. Some OF them
said there was rery little hope. while
Others said their was none (for recov-
ery.)
So Mrs. Watson went with Mrs Kcck
and remaiLed at her Intirmary five
weeks. She went under q vigorou-.
though pleasant treatment there, and
i'll two weeks her voice was restored
to its Origina strength al. q tone.
met her at Peoria on her return home,
and heard her speak aloud for the first
time in eight months. Her health is
very much better IN every way. There
was great establishment among the
boarders at Mrs Wonders boarding
house. where Mrs. Keck has her Office,
when Mrs. Watson talked aloud Liz e
the rest, for all had heard her whisper
so long, aud did not believe she could
be restored. 1t has paid us well to
follow Mrs. Keck's advice, although
we had very little faith at first. My
wife's recovery is q truly remarkable
one. If any one doubts the above they
may correspond with me at Glasford,
Illinois. w. V. WATSON.

While Mr. Beecher thinks revivals have

believes what he breaches, all over.
The strange spectacle of a church float
ing down a river was seen during the pre-
valence of the recent floods in Dakota. 1t
was constructed of strong timbers securely
fastened, and as it 1oated majestically
down the Missouri the bell in its steeple
could be heard above the roar of the flood
and crashing of the ice.

THE RIVER.

The Mississippi is still on the boom, the
rise during the night being four inches.
Points above, however report the river
falling, and this leads to the conclusion
that the water has now reached its highest
stage
The Josephine came up last night and
the Libbie COnger viii pass down this af-
ternoon or evening. The Mary Morton is
the next boat from below, being expected
to arrive Friday morning. The White Eass
gle left LIE Clair Monday, and is due here
to-day. The Victory, with barges in tow,
is expected up tomorrow. The Blue
Lodge passed down and the LIE Claire came
up during the morning.
The Viola is the daily packet between
this city and Andulasia, and is doing a
rushing business She leaves Andulasia
every morning at o'clock, and returning

NEW CHANNEL.
The st Louis Republican contains the
following:
Much interest is felt in the overflow of
the bottom lands on the Illinois side,
which, should the flood increase, would
produce immensely more damage than did
the flood of 1914, as then there were no
railroads and few manufactures, and cult
waited farms and fine houses, in compari-
son with those of the present time An
old pilot, after reviewing the situation.
said he thought there was no great danger
of the river making for itself a new chan

there should be seige OF wet weather.
The water spreads over wide surface ana

stream begins to concentrate IN direct ana
c;p0le current that there may be fears that
II viii scour and cut out for itself new
channel. The same gentleman said that in
all chutes where the river is liable to
change the deepening, the water must be
gin below and work up until it meets the
deep water above. He cited the forming
of the horseshoe cutoff fifteen miles be-
low Helena, Ark, in 1841, of which he
was an eye witness. There the water per
colated over the neck on the Arkansas side
and all the little streams at the lower end
united into one and began cutting below.
1t was sixty hours in cutting through. 1t
cut off ten miles of the river, making it
that much shorter at that very spot, and
cut away Island Sixty one, completely
washing it away This cut benefited Hell
ena and Friar's Point. At the latter place
it lowered the surface level of the river ov-
er two feet, and at Helena the effect was to
make it two foot lower Frfar's Point is
Immediately above the cutoff. Two miles
below the cutoff at place called 'fOld
Town Landing" the water was raised two
feet above the river level, because the slope
Of the river was shortened ten miles, as
can readily be seen would be the effect as
the distance was drawn into quarter of a
mile. The same occurred at Johnson's
cutoff, or ''Shirt-tail Bend" about twenty
miles below Greenville, Miss, about 1856.
| This cutoff shortened the course of the
river from fifteen miles to about quarter
of Il mile. 1t broke through in forty-eight
hours altogether before the cut became
navigable 1t lowered the flood level
above the cutoff as much as three feet
and raised it below the cutoff in cores
| ponding degree. There were other cut
| offs, one in the Arkansas river of about
| eighteen miles; also Terrapin neck, thirty
five miles above Vicksburg; also Roausee
cutoff, just below the mouth of Red river
This cutoff saves about twenty five miles
around the bend, which shortened the riv-
er to about quarter of mile. 1t lowered
the high flood level at the mouth of the
Red river over six feet, doing away with
the necessity for a levee in Red river
reach for some distance above. The old
boatmen say there is Il popularity in all
these cut-offs; when they lower the flood
level below them, that lowering remains
| for long time before it changes, while
the flood level below it soon subsidies and
the river soon regains its normal condition.
