THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
ST. Louis in Danger---2o0 People
at Black Walnut in Peril.

st. Louis, Mo-, June Like a
mill race the swollen Mississippi is
snrging past st. Louis with stage of
$40 feet tonight, making a rise Of
one and one-half feet in the last six
hours. The Government forecast is
that the rise will continue until mid
night and then for the next two days
the stage will creep up slowly, pro-
badly reach 50 feet and begin to recede.
No word was received today from the
200 people imprisoned on low land
at Black Walnut, twenty-five miles
northwest from ST. Louis, and in
peril of their lives from the rising
waters of the Missouri River. Word
was received last night that rescue
must be effected Immediately or they
probably would be swept away by
morning. The river has spread out
around the island with swift cur
rent and, although every effort has
been made to reach them, nothing was
accomplished today and there has been
no means of communicating with them.
Aside from loss of life if such a cat
sstrophe should occur, the property
loss will be very heavy as the entire
valley is under water and homes have
been wased away, farms depleted and
stock drowned.
