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

The river is rising all the time. The
chief flood thus far is on the Missouri
SIC from KeOkuk 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 Quin-
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 food 175 square miles III lii

Quincy are in the same situation, eX-

FARMS ARE A WASTE OF WATERS
Scenery Along the Mississippi Pictures a
Loss of Six Million Dollars.

Keokuk, Ia, July 21.-Exploration
of the flooded districts Of the Missis-
sippi river from KeOkuk south shows
conditions beyond the appreciation or
realization of any but people Of long
experience with the Father OF Waters
in his most destructive mood. The sit
uation is growing worse hourly, and
q great cOnfagration in great city
would not be more rapidly destructive
of values than the flood 100 miles be-
low Keokuk. There is absolutely not
the slightest chance OF stopping this
dOzen-times most costly flood in the
history of the great river above st.
Louis.
The correspondent of the Associ
ated Press went all over the worst
damaged area yesterday in the steam
er Silver Crescent, and found every
where the greatest crops ever known
under water deep enough to float a
steamboat. People at the river cities
gave an immense mass of details all
to be generaliZed in losses aggregat-
ing many millions of dollars; hun
dreds of farmers rich ten days ago,
penniless and homeless, hundreds
watching and praying that the great
levees may hold, which are now their
bulwark against additional millions of
loss and many cases of penury.
Careful estimates of the territory
covered and generalization of the
statements of best Informed people
indicate the loss up to yesterday OF
about $6,OOU,0OO, win every prospect
of 100000 or $3,OOO,O0O additional.
Most of this loss is on the Missouri
side of the river between Keokuk and
Hannibal. Passing the water-lapped
lumber yards of Keokuk, the mouth
of the Des Moines river is seen to be
nearly two miles wide.
Alexandria is protected so far by
the Egyptian levee, the breaking of

Baltimore, Md, July PA tornado,
accompanied by thunder, vivid light

upon Baltimore at 80 p. m. yesterday,
coming from the southwest, with the
net result that eleven persons lost
their lives, hundreds of houses were
unrOofed, trees in the public parks and
streets were torn up by the roots,
many buildings damaged and several
people injured. The storm exhausted
its fury in less than Is minutes. The
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
the river front and in the harbOr
where the wind spent it's violence.
Most of the Dead Are Children.
Of those who persisted nine were
drowned in the harbOr from open
boats, one was killed by falling tree
and one by live wire. The following
is list OF the killed: Drowned in the
harbor-Roy ateman, Il years old;
Joseph Cain, 10 years; John Cain,
years; Thomas Carroll, y years; Har-

How Some of Them Died.
The first three victims Oh the above
list were out in a rOWbOat on the
river with three other companions.
When the storm broke the boat was
capsized, three being drowned and
three rescued. The boy killed by
live wire had, in company with two
other boys, gone into shed for pro-
lection, when the shed blew down and
a live wire fell on one of them, re-
sulting in his death. The drowning OF
Mrs. Schiller and her children was the
most pathetic incident of the hurri-
cane. Michael Schiller. with his wife
and three children, accompanied by
his brother-in-law, Joseph Cook, and
his wife, had gone out into the harbOr
for a sail in a thirty-foOt boat. The
boat was capsized and those drowned
were shut up in the cabin.

Where will they fall? Who will be the happy winner of these symbols of bless ng and forgiveness? The slender leaves fell in freakish windings. The one whlch.

 But one reached farther than all the others. and this was the arm or Manas- sch. who, standing upon one of the 1oists of the scaffold, was an arms length Tn advance of the multitude, and luckily caught the palm leaf.

ITO compel such a Christ-denier to view the whole passion and glorffication Is just like treating the refused: he said that he had no right to obtrude his companionship upon two ladies who had not requested 1t; that they would perhaps deem it impertinent on his part.

At last the infidel was obliged to surren- der. and he will go with us to visit the churches"
 The Princess now realized that angels have wings, and that in moment they fly away leaving morals on the earth. In these cool regions. where the sun never shines; where only the stars and the glo- rious crowns of martyrs gleam, she will not find protection from that which al- lured her. she will even then be accom- panied by the man who fills her whole being with a sweet dread, with whose soul her soul seems so knit together that she can not flee from herself: whom she fears as a maiden fears the man who de- mands her for his wife. He seemed to her like an inhabitan of a distant world. in which, perhaps. bliss can be found. but to which access can be gained only at the cost of death.
