UPHEAvAL IN HORSESHOE LAKE.

Subterranean Connection Believed
to Have Been Opened by Flood.
George Link, one of the largest land own.
ers Of the American Bottom, reported at
Edwardsville last night that the flood
seemed to have exerted a peculiar influence
on the Horshoe Lake
The latter has risen out of all proportion
to the amount of surface water entering
1t, and gushed up in several places near
the center OF the lake in a manner to indi-
cate a subterranean influx.
Great sections OF the bank and ,of the
island in the center are crumbling and fall
ing into the lake. 1t is the belief of resi-
dents Of the vicinity that the rivers over
flow has opened some old underground con-
nection, through which the body Of water
is now being augmented.

say who would have the theater. He has
so far declined TO confirm the announce
ment that Miss Crosman is to be his great
attraction, and Maurice Campbell, the
lady's husband-manager. declines to more
than tentatively deny the report. AS Mr..

not admitting that they have gone back to

triumph for her, as we'll as a return to a
