StandstilI.

The Mighty mississippi on its Annual
StandstilI.
Notwithstanding the report of the fall
up the river the old Father of Waters has
continued to rise at this point during the
last "a hours. The water is now lap-
ping close up to the railroad tracks on
First avenue. The embsnkment in the
lower part Of town along the r. 1. & P
road is still in good condition and no
danger is feared from that point The
stage of water at the Rock Island bridge
at neon today was 1870 against IA 10
yesterday, but is now rising very slowly
and is almost at standstill, so that I'M
less another rise comes no danger need
be feared. In Davenport the water is up
along Front street and has blocked
out the B. G. R. 6 N. but 10
serio2s damage has yet been done. At
Dubuque more or less damage has been
done and saw mills. etc., are all closed
down. The Wapsie bottoms at Clinton
are all overfowed as are also the Msrias
de Osier bottoms opposite, but no great
amount of damage is reported from either
locality. Down the river at Fort Maids
son, Muscatine and Burlington the river
is out Of its banks and is spreading over
the low lands.
Health Commissioner Eyster wishes to
call the attention of residents, and partic-
ulsrly those in the central portion of the
city, to their sewer connections. The
high water in the west end of the city and
wherever the sewers empty, has made it
dangerous on account of the water backing
up, which is likely on account Of no ven
tilation, to create sewer gas. On this
account he suggests that all residents
with sewer connections be careful 10 keep
traps closed and their houses well Yenti-
lated.
