RIVER GRADUALLY RISING.
Situation Below Cairo Recomino More
Critical,

Cairo, ILL.,, March 1.-THE river at
Cairo is gradually rising. The situa
ton below Cairo is hourly becoming
more critical. At Birds Point the wa
ter is running over the Iron Mountain
tracks and is within a few inches OF
the Cotton Belt tracks. The entire
place is under water. The water has
backed in behind the levee at Norfolk
and the entire country between the
river and Charleston is fast being sub
merged. Reports from Belmont, Mo.
say the entire place is under water
and that the situation is gradually e.
coming worse. A serious state OF az
fairs exists at Columbus and .Hick
man, KY, thousands of acres Of farm
ing lands being covered by raging va
tiers. The farmers have been moving
out as best they could, but much valu
able stock has been left to perish. The
Kentucky country opposite Cairo is
under water for several miles back
and large part of the Paducah branch
OF the Illinois Central tracks has been
washed out.

Full particulars were recently receiv-

to the terrible hurricane which visited
those islands and In which over 600
lives were lost. Such loss Is appall-
ing, but after all is not to be compar-

have lost their lives from indigestion,
dyspepsia and constipation and other
stomach troubles. The number has,
however, been considerably reduced
since the introduction OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, 50 years ago, because
It positively cures all such ailments

AT BEAR RIVER MoUTH-The
company of Northern Pacific survey
ors that has been working in the vicln-
ity OF Ilwaco. has moved to the mouth
Of Bear river. headed toward the CO.
lumbia. The surveyors are now within
eight miles of Chinook. They started
from South Bend and have surveyed
the route through the Nasel country.
Just where the line will strike the
river is only speculation yet, bur from
the way they are headed ii now looKs
as though they would come out at or
near the old town of Chinook. The line
Is surveyed down the river from Ka-
lama to Ilwaco, and 1t is thought the
company intends building from South
Bend to the Columbia, eight miles east
Of Ilwaco. and then follow the river
to Kalama, where the main line will
be struck. The survey has also been
made down the river into Ilwaco, and
the intention seems to be to build a
branch down to Ilwaco and out to the
beach to stackpole harbor to tap that
Country.
