RIVER RIPLETS.

The water is rising rapidly as a
result of recent heavy rains in the
north. and yesterday afternoon passed
the eight foot stage. The old Mississippi
is going on a rampage, evidently, the
rise having been unusually rapid the
past few days, averaging six inches
every "a hours. The northern tributar-
les must of a necessity discharge
mighty volumes Of water into the par
ent stream to bring about this rise
every day. AS the stage of water
grows higher the river expands over
the bottoms along the stream, and the
quantity of water required to raise
the river a single inch is enormous
after the four foot stage is reached.
Rivermen are predicting some unus-
ually high water this fall.
1t is reported that the former gospel
ship "Megiddo," the floating church"
of the Mississippi. has again been sold.
The boat. after striking a rock in the
Ohio river and sinking near Paducah.
was raised and repaired, and was
placed on sale the other day. Capt.
Trigg of Chattanooga purchased the
former gospel ship, paying therefor the
sum of $500, from the Chattanooga
& Tennessee River Packet company,
and will run the boat in the eXcur-
sion business down south, il is said.
The Megiddo has had an interesting
and varied experience since she was
built at the Clinton Marine ways five
years ago. and no other steamer along
the river has become so widely known
as the old MegiddO, now the Chatta-
nooga. The name "Magiddo," which
means God is in this place with
band of troops" was all right as APP
piled to a mission craft, but as factor
in river commerce the name was not
through entirely appropriate, hence
was changed.
The Mac and WinOna were north
and south and the B. Hershey and Phil
Scheckel went north.
At a m. the stage OF water was
S.25 and at noon it was S.35.
RIVER FORECAST
The Mississippi will fall slowly be-
low Dubuque and falling stage will

anxiety over the difficulties of the sit

which international law provides no

personnel unframed and incompetent,
was Itself an act of folly. There are
no two opinions on this poiEt in any
