damage done in the business part of
the city was comparatively slight, be-
ing confined to the blowing down of
signs and injuries to roofs. 1t was in
the residence portion of the city along

RIVER CONTINUES TO RISE
Where tho Worst Damage to the Crops
Has Been Done.

Where tho Worst Damage to the Crops
Has Been Done.
The river is rising all the time. The
chief flood thus far is on the Missouri
Sue from Keoliuk to Louisiana, with
Canton and West Quincy as centers
of the country hurt worst. On the
Illinois side are the continuous levees
for forty miles from Warsaw to Ouin-
cy, above the water and thus far safe:
but farmers are afraid of crevasses
from muskrat holes, and every rod of
the embankment is watched day and
night. The breaking of these levees
would flood 115 square miles in ILL
nols and destroy $2,00O000 to $1,000
0OO worth of corn. The levees below
Quincy are in the same situation, eX-
cept that they are lower and less firm.
Opposite Quincy, in Missouri, is still
another center of special devastation
which is appalling. North twelve miles
to La Grange and south to Holton
large prairies are well under water
reaching from the Illinois bluffs to
the Missouri bluifs-at least ten miles.
Levees hastily thrown around farms
disappeared in fierce current rushing
from above through the draw of the
burlington bridge. carrying everything
before it. Lone Tree prairie, ten miles
square, is deserted, the population
having flown to Quincy and the bluffs
on the Missouri side, from which they
watch the complete destruction.
Around LaAIottc, Silvcrton. Busch Sta
ton, Clemens. Ashburn, north of Han
nlbal there is more wheat than ut
other places, and all in the Shocl, is
mostly washed away The chief crop
there is corn, however. and there is the
same ruin as at other places
The hopeful side of the picture has
just developed. No levecs gave way
yesterday, and reports from up the
Des MONIES river show fall. If no
more heavy rains come Immediately
the worst is probably over.

The Bar Meeting in Dubuque.

The State Bar Association held its
eighth annual session in Dubuque last
Tuesday and Wednesday. Much inter
est was taken in the. questions assigned
for consideration. The proposed changes
In the law relative to the taxation of
moneys and credits brought on severa
spirited debates.
One of the features of the first day
was the banquet Tuesday evening at
Hotel Julien. 1t is said of lawyers that
they are men who strive nightly, yet
eat and drink as friends. The truth of
this statement was we'll exemplified in
the proceedings of the business sessions
of the day and the festivities of the
banquet In the evening. Judge Blair
of this city responded to the toast, "The
Agricultural Lawyer" in very happy
and instructive manner. He told about
his experiences in early times with agri-
cultural lawyers, in such humorous
manner that he was frequently inter
rupted by laughter and applause. A
number of meritorious responses were
listened to, one in particular by Sena-
tor Allison, who had "Iowa" for his sub
ject He became reminiscent and spoke
feelingly of the deceased members of
the bar, who in the early history of the
state contributed largely to the public
good.
Five recommendations of the COM
mittee on law reform were approved.
The only recommend OF general public
interest was one providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee to consider
and report at the meeting next year,
upon the advisability of law to pro-
hibit in certain cases the propagation
of species.
The following is the list of newly
elected officers:
President, r. M. Haines, Grinnell.
Vice president, George w. Wakefield,
Sioux City.
Secretary, Samuel S. Wright, Upton.
Treasurer, George Henry, Des Moines
Resolutions thanking Judge Carpen-
ter of Milwaukee for his excellent paper
and electing him an honorary member
of the association were adopted. Reso-
lutions thanking Dubuque for her hos
pitality were also adopted

When the storm broke the boat was
capsized, three being drowned and
three rescued. The boy killed by a
live wire had, in company with two
other boys, gone into n shed for pro-
lection, when the shed blew down and
a live wire fell on one of them, re-
