north q ne city for fifteen or twenty
miles is now completely submerged, and
Immense damage has already been done to
farmers in Benton, Jackson and Huron
Townships. Thousands Of acres of corn
are under water, and large amount Of hay
and wood have been carried on by the
surging torrent of water. Jackson town
ship is almost entirely under water, the
people having taken refuge on the bluffs
west of the main Kingston road. Every
effort has been made to save the stock by
building RATS, and some hay has been
saved in this way, but only small amount
compared to that which has been lost. The
water is now within few inches of the
great flood of 1880, and the damage done
to tie citizens of this county is almost in
calculable
IT'S consummation devoutly to be
wished for, though there has been no cut
ting, crashing, grinding ice to damage
property and endanger life, neither grow
ing cross to be destroyed, an immense loss
has come from the food Farmers, mer-
chants, mill owners, lumbermen, steam

misfortunes attending the overflow, and all
will with rejoicing hail the falling of the
waters.

PREPARING FOR WINTER.

Dan Currie passed along Second avenue
last evening, and was pleased with the ap-
pearance of DIR. Calls buggy robe, which
was hanging over the physicians carriage
in front of Bengston's drug store. Currie
helped himself to the robe and started Over
the river. The theft was at once discover
ed, and the police of Davenport were no
titled of the facts. Currie barely reached
the shore, when he was arrested and con
veyed to this city.
He had a preliminary examination be-

AN UNPLEAsANTNEss.

The present. high water has caused an
overflow of the river ON nineteenth street
near fourth avenue, and the water has
found its way to the corner of Eighteenth
street and fourth avenue. At this point
an embankment has been placed to pre-
vent the water from flowing into the
slough. The few residents of the corner
above metioned have objected to the
proceedings, and this noon one of them
to flow down fourth avenue. The break
was soon discovered by one of the city
and officials who repaired it in short time.
The incipient dam may cause more trouble
in the future.

HEALTH COMMISSIONER.

At the next meeting of the city council
which will occur ON the 7th of November
the question of abolishing the local Board
of Health as at present constituted, and
substituting in its place single health
commissioner will come up for considera-
ton, and probably some definite action
will be taken thereon.
The action of the Board of Health in
legislating themselves out of office in the
belief that q single health commissioner
would prove more efficient has been gener-
ally applauded by all classes of citizens.
This official recommendation of the new
system, it is thought, will have great
weight upon the council, and there is a
reasonable prospect that the aldermen win
look solely at the increased efficiency of
the change and act in that direction. IF
the merits of the two systems are COM
pared, there can be no doubt that change
will be ordered by the council, as SO many
reasons can be assigned for the new sys-
tenn, and SO few given for the old organiza-
tIou

THE RIVER.

At o'clock this afternoon the guage at
the government bridge indicated that the
water was still seventeen feet and nine
inches above low water mark. A rise of
one half inch was reported during the
night but the stage remains stationary at
the figures above given and has so contin-
ued for two days.
A private despatch to Phil Mitchell last
evening from j. f. Bready. of Dubuque,
states that the river fell six incher at that
place yesterday.
Information received from st. Paul states
that the river is falling, the fall yesterday
was three inches, and decline of -four
inches is recorded at La Crosse
It is more than probable that the rivel
has reached its Igreatest hight and from
now ON fall may be expected

PREVENTING DISEASE.


The County Clerk has received the fol-
lowing which explains itself as directed to
the local secretary of the Board of
Health
DEAR STR:-Concert of action on the
part of the Health Authorities of the State
is necessary to prevent, control and stamp
out contagious and epidemic diseases dur
ing the coming winter.
Small pox now prevails to an alarming
extent in some of our large commercial
centres. and viii, in all probability, be
rapidly distributed from them as the tenn
perature becomes lower. Vaccination and
re vaccination of all residents of your
township is extremely important, and may
prevent, not only loss of life, but the seri-
Gus interference to business, which always
accompanies such an outbreak.
Should an outbreak of small pox occur,
/ respectfully call your attention to the
following regulation adopted by the ILL
nois State Board of Health. at its last meet
ing, on the Both of September, ult:
Under the authority conferred upon the
State Board of Health, by section 2. of the
State Beard of Health Act 1t is ordered
that, on and after January 1st, 1882, the
first cases of small pox occurring in any
county, township, town or city in this
State be promptly reported to the Board /,
also the prevalence of any epidemic, by
the local health authorities, it being borne
in mind that in counties where township
organization exist, the township board is
the Board of Health, and in counties not
under such organization, the county COM
missioners act in like capacity.
Reports should be promptly sent to the
Secretary of the Illinois State Board of
Health, Springfield.
BY order of the Board,
JOHN H. RAUCH, Secretary.

FIRST FROST.

An exchange thus touches up the first
appearance of winter
The first frost of the season made it's ap-
pearance On Wednesday morning. Prior
to this frost vegetation wore its summer
hue. Since its appearance the leaves have
turned yellow, brown and red, presenting
the varied aspect that makes autumn seen
cry so charming; lovely in its decay. The
first preclude to winter was visible on
Monday. The rain of the preceding day
and night had loosened the maple leaves
carpeting the ground, underneath the trees,
with myriads of summer garlands.
