FARMS SUBMERGED.
From Keokuk to Hannibal Thou.
sands of Acres Are Under Water.
All the Years Work VIII Be Lost and the
Damage Is Estimated at S2,5OO,OOO to
&4,OOO.OOO-SsveraI Killed
by Lightning.

KeOl1uk, Ia, Juy 19.-Heavy rains
in central Iowa yesterday are send
ing food down upon prosperous
Missouri farmers which will ruin
many of them and cause losses ag-
gregating, at a conservative esti-
mate, 81. 100000. There seems to
be no hope for the country be-
tween the Mississippi river and
its Missouri bluffs between Keo-
lzuk and Hannibal, 800 square miles,
mostly planted to corn, with some
thousands of acres of wheat in the
shock.
The corn crop in the flooded dis
trict is all made, and wheat is in
the shock, and as result the farm
ers will lose all their years work.
Grain men say the foregoing esti-
mate of value is too low and put the
figures of the loss from the over
flow at nearer 100000 between
Keokuk and Hannibal. It is believed
the Illinois levees will hold and the
damage there is likely to be only $780,
900 to $4,000 between Keokuk and
Quincy. Heavy rains were reported
in southwestern Iowa yesterday and
last night there were indications of
still higher water. Lowland farmers,
river men and the weather bureau
observer alike predict the greatest
damage ever known from food on
the upper river.
The Flood on Bay Island.
Hannibal, Mo, July 19.-The flood
conditions on Bay island and the bot

land contains about 10000 acres of
cultivated land, upon which were the
finest crops of wheat and corn, but
the entire island is now submerged
except few elevated spots, to the
depth of from one to six feet. It is
believed that the entire crop of corn
is ruined and the wheat, which was
in shock, is a total loss.
The Yellow Springs Dam Breaks.
Burlington, Ia, July 19.-Advices
just received report the breaking of
the Yellow Springs dam, north of

been submerged. The water is the
highest in years. AT Columbus juno

oats that was being harvested and
hundreds of acres of corn.
