Keokuk, Iowa, July 19.-The flood
conditions of yesterday were much
worse today and the Mississippi
River is from two to ten miles wide
for seventy. five miles below Keokuk
and is rising rapidly. The food is
reaching far outlying farms, hitherto
missed, and farmers in the loWlands
on the Missouri side have lost every
thing but their citadels on high
knolls and a few fields behind the
highest levees. Damage is also oc-
curing on the Illinois side between
here and Quincy, where there are
many thousand acres Of riverside
le7ees, and where the levees
levees themselves are not entire
ly efficient the water is working
through at the side of the food gates.
The Lima and Hunt le7ees opposite
Canton, Mo-, the most dangerous
places and which protect many
square miles of corn in Illinois, are
constantly patrolled and hopes are
entert' ined that they may possibly
hold. The greatest danger is on the
Missouri side of the Mississippi
River, between Keokuk and Hannl-
bal, the water covering 300 square
miles and on which the corn was es
timated at eighty bushels to the
acre few days ago. Hundreds
of farmers are tenants who lost crops
by last years drought in the up
lands and moved to the lowIands
this year. They are now pennlless
and are hunting work in towns and
cities. Reports today are that IN

be over 100000, chiefly to corn

CAMPAIGN AT
LITTLE MOUNTAIN.
CHILD LABOR holds THE ATTEN-
TION OF TIE LEGISLATORS.
The First Political Meetlog Ever Held at
This Plsce-Artended by About Three
hundred Persons-Prayer aud Mu-
sic For the First Time in the
Campaign.

Little Mountain, Newberry County
July 49, The gentlemen seeking the
Offices at the disposal of the people
of Newberry reached this, the high
est point in the county today. The
meeting was held in the grove at the
foot of the mountain, in which each
year is heldthe Newberry college re-
union-a grove famous for the many
gatherings that have here assembled
in the cause of education.
It was only by an Act of the last
Legislature that the whole of the
town of Little Mountain was placed
within the bounds of Newberry coun-
ty, and voting precinct here estab
Hshed, and this was the first political
meeting ever held at this place.
About three hundred persons, in
cluding about fifty ladies, were in
attendance and gave the speakers
good attention. As at the two former
meetings, there was no applause
The monotony of the campaign
was broken today by two excellent
innovations. The exercises were
opened with prayer aud good music
was furnished by the Little Noun
tain string band
The principal question discussed
by the candidates for the legislature
was child labor. In fact, from pres
ent indications, it seems that before
the campaign lsover, this will be about
the only question discussed. Taxation
and appropriations to State colleges
and biennial sessions and other. good
and evil things, as one may vie"
them, are gradually fading into the
BACKGROUND and are being given
brief notice. Shall the little chill
dren be prohibited by law from work
ing i'll the mills? That is the burning
question with the Legislative candl-
dates.
MIR, J. B. Derrick was in charge OF
the meeting, He was impartial ana
obliging and made an excellent pre-
siding officer.
THE EXERCISES
were opened with an earnest prayer
by Rev. J. K. Efrd aud short ao-
dress of welcome by the chairman:
The candidates for the office OF
PROBATE JUDGE
were the first speakers Messrs'
