Clinton, Iowa, Oct. 19.-The Missis-
sippi river is given to extremes this
year. Early in the season it was
within a few inches of low water
mark, and Indications were that all
previous records would be broken.
Just at a time when the low stage of
water was seriously interfering with
navigation, the river commenced to
rise and within short time the water
reached good stage, which has since
prevailed. The latest freak of the
Father of Waters, and one which is
assuming serious aspects. is a rapid
rise in the river, which, with but one
exception. has eclipsed all records in
the matter of high water in the fall
of the year.
