AT midnight last night the water In
the river had passed the 16-foot mark.
the gauge at that hour registering 16.1
feet This made a total rise during
the day Of just one foot. About 8
o'clock the quantity Of logs and ice
floating down the river seemed to
greatly increase and the rise of the
water was also much more rapid than
it had been during the day. The water
is now within 3.6 feet of the extreme
high water mark. Should the water
continue to rise at the same rate as
during the past three days, the high
water mark will be reached by Sunday
morning. 1t was thought, after
the freshet caused by the breaking OF
the ice gorge at Minneapolis had spent
itself, that the water would begin to
recede, but the river holds good its
record Of the past few days of doing
exactly the opposite to all predictions
concerning it's actions.
The flood situation in ST. Paul is
assuming alarming proportions. 1t

with the breaking of the ice gorge
above Minneapolis on Wednesday came
a rush of water almost equaling that
Of Monday night the river rising al
most two feet in the tWentyfOur
hours ending at 6 o'clock last night
At that hour the government gauge
at the foot of Jackson street registered
15.7 feet, showing that the water was
at least a foot higher than at any
previous time since the great flood OF
1881. With the sudden rise of the river
came huge chunks of ice and thou
sands of logs borne along by the
swiftly moving current. In times Of
peace these logs would have been well
coined by the fat dweIlers as they
gather all their fuel from the river
but yesterday they were regarded with
anxious eyes, for in many cases they
were borne dangerously near the
houses along the river front.
The people living along the upper
flats have felt comparatively safe until
yesterday, when it was discovered that
the heavy wind that was blowing di-
rectly across the river was forcing the
water against the levee with the force
of a hundred trip hammers and grad
ually eating it away. The city engl-
neer was called to make an examina-
ton of the levee and found a strip of
about twenty feet at the upper end
of James street that threatened to give
way at a moments notice. A force
Of men were at once set to work fill
ing the crevasse, and for the time be-
ing the break is averted, but, with
the rapidly rising water and Its con-
slant beating against the banks, it is
feared that the levee cannot hold much
longer.
Yesterdays raise brought the water
to within a foot and a half of the top
of the low parts Of the levee, and, with
the exception Of some half dozen fam
lilies, whose homes are built on the
extreme high ground the upper flats
are deserted, If the levee holds and
the water does not go over its top, no
more serious damage will result to
the people of this part Of the city than

Blue Spring Bubbles

The Dunnellon cycle club has
completed it's cycle path from
Dunnellon to the head of Blue

was 0, S. Singletary, who was
accepted as an honorary member
to look after the interest of the

A patent has been granted to
Pearl Crowell, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, that promises an innova-
ton in the cotton industry IN
point Of economy, time and labor.

and can be hauled from place to

Of the principal features of the
invention is that it takes the cot.

Symmetrical Squibs

Court business has been very
regular for a number of weeks,
but little profit to the county or
state. The jury deciding that
John Graham knocked Ann Tay-
lor down in self defence, and did
very well that he stood so much
abuse before he made any de-
fence. Harry Glymp was the
last one to be called before ellis
Honor, for appropriating some
hogs Of another mans mark and
brand before he had rendered an
equivalent to the owner; he was
held to appear at circuit court in
the sum of one hundred dollars !;
not finding bondsmen until after
dark he took leg bail and has not
been seen since.
We have had some beautiful il
Illustrations of the workings of the
stock law of this state, for the
last week or two. Several hog
owners, who have raised no crops
on which to fatten them, sit by
in their comforta BILE homes and
listen while other men who have
good crops drive the hogs out of
their corn day after day, and
only to find that they have made
a new hole in the fence each day,
by which they get into the fields.
1t seems to this correspondent
that the time has come when a
man should not be required to
pay two or three prices for his
land in the shape of fences to
keep his neighbors' stock, especial
ly hogs, from destroying his crop,
after he has worked hard in the
hot sun to make it.
r. S. Hall has been here the
past week to see about the tur-
pentine farm he will open up here
this winter. He will employ free
labor and will thus give employ
ment to many of the men here
that have not had regular work
for some time.
Maj. Henning continues to
make improvements on his place
here, and it gives an entirely diff
ferent look to the place to have
an orange grove started up where
before was only relic of the big
freeze.
The Symmetrical Co. made a
change in partners last week.,

firm and returned to his old stand,
