High Water Expected to Break
Over WickIiiie Levee
LOOK FOR HIGH STAGE
WEATHER OBSERVER SAYS
GAUGE HERE WILL BE Al
SEWERS CLOSED AND
LoWLANDS FILL
ING UP.

Weather Observer p. II. Smyth has
predicted a II foot stage for Cairo
within tie next six days, providing no
more rain falls and if a general rain
sets in the river will probably reach
the danger mark here within the next
ten days or TWO weeks.
The danger mark here is As feet
This, however, does not mean that
there is any danger whatever when
the river gets to that point, but when
the gauge reads 40 or more all of the
lowlands near Cairo are submerged
The gauge last night al o'clock
registered 3S.S, a rise Of IA within a
hours.
The river has been rising at rapid
rate for the past few days Saturday
the sewers We're closed and already
water has commenced TO appear in
the low lots and commons in different
parts of the city. The sewers close
automatically when the river reaches
30 feet Unless heavy rains set in
there is little likelihood of the citys
pumps being started. as the predie
lions point to the fact that the high
water viii last but a short while.
The rapid rise has caused
over 20 feet of the Kentucky
bank in the bend, between Fillmore
ana the head of No. /. to cave into
the river and it was expected yester-
day afternoon that the river woull
rise sufficiently during the night to
overflow the leyee back of Wickliffe,
which would inundate about thou
sand acres of farming land back Of
Wickliife. The warehouse at the
ferryboat landing at Wickliffe was
moved back yesterday afternoon
about so feet. in order to prevent it
tnmbling in the river

Last Friday the fine residence

ing the lucky purchaser. This is one
of the best pieces of residence prop

has spent much money to improve
the Surroundings and to make the
whole place inviting.
DR.. Short, we are informed, intends
to transform the place into a SAM

sirablc location no better point could
have been selected for the purposes
either in this city or this section
of the state. The main buildings
are all roomy and the grounds are so
situated that every convenience nee
essary to make it an ideal Sanitarium
can be observed at a glance and DIR.
Short was not long in making up his
mind that the property was just what
he wanted for his purposes. and the
sale means another move forward in
our general industrial circles.
