THE FLOODS.
Scenes of Distress and DesoIation
in the Submerged District.
The Fox and Illinois Rivers Still Rising-The
Danger at Ottawa Partly Passed
Broken Dykea

kEoKUK, Ia, May 1T 10 not believed
so great disaster as that of 1881 will re-
suit from the present foods in ard around
Alexander, Mo. The unprecedented rains
OF the past week have swollen the Fox,
Des Moines and Skunk rivers to such en-
extent that the Egyptian levees between
this place and Alexandria broke, flooding
thousands of acres of lands, mostly wheat,
and doing great damage. Alexandria is be-
Ing rapidly submerged and the people are
preparing TO leave for high lands Stock
mas been driven to the hills but great loss
OF cattle nevertheless is reported. Bust
ness at Alexandra is at a standstill and
the only means Of locomotion is by boat.
VIEW OF THE FLOODED DISTRICT.
The view of the flooded district from
! Warsaw presents a picturesque sight The
river has made the lowlands back of Alex
andria great lake, upon which are float
ing wreckage, driftwood and small build
ings. Tho losa cannot be estimated. but
stock and farm products have suffered
greatly. The greatest fears are entertained
for the extensive levses along the Illinois
shore, but now it ia thought thousands of
acres of wheat between Warsaw and
Quincy will not be inundated The river
measures about eighteen feet above high
water mark both at Warsaw and Alex
andria, and water is pouring over the low
lands
At Keokuk the river is fifteen and ak.
tenths feet above high water mark of '64,
and there are no indications of a rise as the
rain apparently has ceased.
Heavy floods are reported along the line
OF the Toledo, peoria 81 Western road with
bad Washouts near Bushnell. Untold dam
age is done to crops and farm property by
the rains and foods.
THE DANGER POINT PASSED.
On the Mississippi the danger point is
passed and the river is falling Between
Alexandria and West Quincy, some thirty
miles, the tracks Of the st. Louis, Keokuk
q Northwestern are covered from one to
two inches and trains were abandoned this
afternoon.
At Santon, Mo-, this morning the water
put out the fires in freight engine The
report that train was washed away is
true. II is expected the water will have
fallen enough by Monday to permit trains
TO run as usual. The track of the Rock
lsland paralleling the Des MONIES river is
badly damaged, but 8. large force is making
repairs and trains are running OF time.
