The river at this point continues 10
rise slowly, and at noon was 3 feet 2
inches below what is called danger
line, and o feet B inches below the
high water mark Of March 9,llS82. AT
some points above and below here
where the land is low, the water Is
running over little and. doing some
damage to growing crops, From the
water In sight just now We see no
cause for alarm as to what NAV
be termed an overflow. The rise AZ
st. Louis has ceased. The Cumber-
land and Tennessee rivers are very
low and falling. and it is probable that
we will get foot more Of water unless
there are heavy or continued rains
along the Cumberland and Tennessee
river sheds. The levees below here
should be watched and strengthened
where weak places make their appear
ance.
The rise at st. Louis has ceased and
by night steady decline of the river
will be in progress. The situation in
East st. Louis is not materially
changed: The water is a little deeper
and the area of land inundated IS a
little larger, but no actual destruction
OF property is yet reported. The
Bowman dyke has been strengthened
and raised so that it might stand a rise
OF another foot, but the citizens are
quite hopeful that danger from that
source has passed. Information was
received at st. Louis that Fish Lake

miles of rich farming land on the

Gossip About I.ennett

| Norman l.. Munro, the publisher
has been having a rather unpleasant
siege tor the past few months, and has
gone for" James Gordon Bennett il
order to get square. The cause of the
trouble is that q number OF personals
signed Sadie" have been printed in
the Herald, directed to Mr.. Munro
and conveying the impression that
there was an undue intimacy between
him and the supposed fair unknown
The outcome of all this is that MIR.
Munro has been numerically guyed
by all his acquaintance. and his wife,
taking more serious view of the mats
ter, has INDUCED him in what is
technically known as "the grand
snake" This Munro is the brother Of
the one who has made such a barrel
of money with the Seaside Library.
He owns one of the weekly story pa.
pers published in New York, and is
his brothers strongest oppositionist.
Within the past few years he has
made great lot of money, and this
system OF publishing personals, calcu,
lated to break him up, is probably the
work Of some black mailer. What
makes the thing look rocky forMr. Ben
nett is the fact thatlthe last paragraph
came out after Munro had warned The
Herald not to do SO any more, and had
been promised a disGontinuanae of the
practice. He wants Bennett to give
up $5O, 900 for the damage done him.
But nobody knows who the deuce Sa-
die is.
Bennett must have split" with his
Secretary, young Chamberlain, for the
latter has just started daily news,
paper In Paris, and Albert Ives has
gone over to help him run it. Cham.
berlain travelled everywhere with Ben.
nett, and got salary of $4,000 year
and his expenses. 1t was bis custom
to boss Bennett good deal more than
Bennett bossed him. He is a very
bright, dashing writer, however, and
was OF great value to his employer.
He had pretty fat position, for some
times he WOULDN'T see his employer for
a month at a time. Ives is the Young
man who had charge Of the
Herald London Office for G long
time, aud left when Bennett
undertook in his characteristics
way to order him to Hong Kong, San
Francisco, Rio Janeiro, aud theNorth
Pole, simultaneously. He sent in a
hot letter of resignation, and Bennett
acknowledged it as your impudent
letter" 4hereupon Ives responded
that he was glad to hear upon such
excellent authority that he was impu
dent, because he had been told that he
only lacked a big stock of that article
to make him fit for a leading place on
the Herald staff When Bennett got
that letter he filed Ives place. These
two young men ought to get out
rafting good newspaper 10 Paris. be- |
cause they are very bright Journalistic |
and know the ropes from stom Il stern. !
Ives married Miss Florence Carpenter
several years ago. She is daughter of
Frank b. Carpenter, the artist. and a
most charming girl.

Tunnelinr for Water.


Tunneling is new method of obtain
ing water for irrigating purposes, and
it has. been very successful in some
cases. 1t can only be resorted to where
there is n range of hills near the land to
be irrigated. The San Bernardino IN
deG mentions a recent case in which
good results were obtained in this way.
A farmer named Rubottom has owned
100 acres of dry land, just west of Sono-
IA, for n good while, and it has hereto
fore been considered us good for winter
pasturage and cereals only. Not long
ago he determined to tunnel into the
range of hills, part of which his land
covered, in the locality above mention
ed, and drift of $50 feet tapped liv-
ing stream which will furnish enough
water to irrigate 500 acres. The Inde1
adds: "What further argument is nee
essary to convince people of thus OBJ
tanning watere There are hundreds
and hundreds of acres within distance
of from six to fourteen miles of San
Bernardino OH which it is believed that
water can be obtained by both tunnels
and deep artesian wells, and much of it
is government land, too. san Fran
