Keoluk, Iowa, July 19,-Heavy rains

before are sending a flood down on
prosperous Missouri farms which will
ruin many of them and cause losses
aggregating at a conservative esti-
matae $2500,000. There seems to be
no hope for the country between the
Mississippi river and the Missouri
bluffs and between Keokuk and Han.

day, continuing until hope of safety
was abandoned.
yesterday afternoon the observer

warning to all points south to prepare
for danger. The crest is expected here
Saturday or Sunday. The Egyptian
levee, which stood the flood just re
ceding, after strenuous efforts to hold
it, Is only slightly above the water
now and the coming flood in the Des
Moines VIII top it certainly. This lets
the water into hundreds of square
miles, including the town of Alexan-
dna, Mo- The inhabitants there are
preparing for an overflow of the en-
tire town to depth of several feet.
This is the town in whichc Mark
Twain in his Life on the Mississippi"

The worst feature is the time of the
year. The corn crop is all made and

the figures of the loss from overflow
near four millions between Keokuk

nois levees will hold and the damage
there is likely to be only $4,000 to
$40, 900 between KeolSuk and Quincy.

farmers, river men and the weather
bureau observer alike predict the

yesterday evening showed tremend-
Gus rains along the Des Moine river

reach the lower river and flooded dis
tricts by Sunday with a still further
rise and devastation. Both the Des
MONIES and Mississippi rivers are ris'
ing faster and faster. Late reports
show that half the country for dis
lance of thirty miles between La
Grange and Hannibal was already un

one Of his trips in quest of the pearl
oyster he had a narrow escape from a
fearful death.
He had been instructed never to stir
from the bottom until he had looked up
and around. Fortunately he needed the
advice. Having filed his bag he glanced
quickly about and caught sight of a
huge shovel noscd shark watching him.

watched every movement, changing his

Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea of binding the
shark by stirring up the mud. Under

worked for dear life and had the water
