Rushing Into the Mississippi, and Change
OF Channel Possible.
MEMPHIS. Aug. 2I.-A day or two ago
q small stream of water began to tricl1le
out Of North lake and to make its way
to the Mississippi river. mile distant.
Gradually the stream grew larger, the
volume of water increasing In speed as
in volume, and now the entire lake is
rushing toward the river at furious
pace, carrying before it everything in
the shape of bridges, fences and crops.
North Lake is one of the largest bod
les of water in north Mississippi. 1t is
clear and has been the fayorite resort
for fishermen for hundreds of miles
around. Formerly the Mississippi river
flowed through that way, and when the
current changed to a new course mile
distant the lake was left. Last spring
when the river was high it oyerdowed
and completely filed the banks of the
lakes. Now the river is at about its
lowest ebb and the lake is returning the
compliment.
all persons and livestock had plenty of
time to get out of the way, and no lives
were lost. The flow is from North lake,
but this body is so connected with South
lake that the entire body of water will
go. The town of Lakeview, consisting
of large hotel, summer resort and
numerous adjuncts to the Illinois Cen
trail railroad depot, will be left high and
dry, though river men think that the
river viii, when it rises again, take adj
vantage of the new channel now being
made, and resume its old course through
the bed of the lake.

Great Destruction Done to Growing Crops
in steuben County.
HoRNELLsvnLE, N. Y, Aug. 81
Farmers of Steuben county are much
alarmed over the appearance of grass
hoppers in large swarms. Owing to the
extreme dry weather their numbers are
increasing rapidly in many places,
especially in the western part of the
county they are attacking all kinds of
of vegetation. Many fields of buck
wheat for distance of two rods around
the outer edge looks as if it had been
used for a race course, the buclrwheat
being eaten of close to the ground.
Farmers in many instances have been
compelled to cut their oats green in
order to save them. The pests seem to
be working eastward. Cattle are be-
coming badly pinched for pasturage,
and in some places it has become neces-
sary to feed mich COWS once or twice a
day to keep them from starving. Many
farmers are blowing up their meadows
where the pests are the most abundant,
with the view that the grasshoppers
may be killed by burying them.
