NO DAMAGE YET REPORTED.

The river is rising here, the gauge
at noon registering "a feet. The 40
foot stage, which is the local danger
line, is looked for and 1t may go a
few feet over that mark.
Reports from all points up the
rivers are of rising streams, and it
depends on the present weather con-
ditions just how much water can be
expected here. However, it is
thought the middle of the week will
see the crest of the rise.
The river is over the banks across
on the Illinois side opposite the city,
and has backed up into all the low
lands around the city, There is a
good deal of driftwood passing down
out of the Ohio and Tennessee.
The boats are feeling the effects
of the high water in a slackening of
business as many of the landings
cannot be made.
So far there are no reports of dam
ages to amount to anything.
