The Flood In the DesMoines River An
sumes Threatening Proportions.

OTTUMwA, Ia, April 26.-It is be-
lieved that the flood was at its worst
Sunday night, but the river rose a foot
during the night, and is now higher
than it has been since 1876. The damage
is tremendous. The Burlington road,
which has been kept open with
mighty effort, gave up Sunday night.
The main line communication from
Chicago to Denver is now cut off. OF
six railroads here the only trains NOV
ing are the Wabash from Milwaukee
north. All the Burlington, Rock Island
and Central and all the Milwaukee and
Wabash traffic south is stopped en-
tirely. Even the right of way fences
in many cases are out of sight. On the
Rock Island and Burlington roads for
miles it is believed the tracks
have been washed entirely way.
Even when the water recedes
it will take days to re-estab-
lish communication. All nearby
towns are reported equally as bad.
No branches are operating at all. The
water is flowing across the business
portion of South Ottumwa- The popu-
lation is in panic. Hundreds of men
are working on the levee at the west
end of the city.
