Des Moines, May 29.-(SpeciaL)
At noon today the river stood 1877
feet and falling. Danger Is past unless,
there is more rain, which the weather
forecaster says is imminent.
About fifty families In the lowlands
moved out last night, but at the pres
ent rate of the fall will soon be able
to move back to their homes. The
river gauge registered 1S feet at
o'clock this morning.
The River at EddyviIle.
Eddyvi1le, May 20. Especially -
The river was at standstill at I
p m. here today Nevertheless since
6 o'clock last night the rise has been
about inches There is no fear for
a further rise unless 1t rains again.
Water backing from the Des Mofnes
river through the drain yesterday and
last night into the basement Of Phil
lips Big Store before 1t was posi-
BILE to move the merchandise to an
upper floor caused damage Of $4,000
o-stock, according to an estimate
made by Mr. Phillips today. The base
ment is used for the grocery, meat,
china ware and bargain dry goods de-
partments. AS a result of the confu-
sion throughout the store because Of
the dtsorderly array of goods from the
basement it is impossible for the.
store to open for business this week,
The water began to reach the Phil
lips basement yesterday afternoon
when the river gauge registered
above the thirteen feet mark, and last
night when the river had reached q
stage of sixteen feet, inches. the
basement contained three feet Of wat
er. This morning at 8 o'clock there
was still two feet Of water in the
basement after the river had fallen
considerably.
Men Work Hard.
A large force of men worked tho
greater part Of the night to move the
goods to the upper floors for safety.
Today, saucers and plates OF the
china department may be seen float
| ing on the muddy water.
What Mr.. Phillips considers IL
still worse and did more damage than
even the flood was the leaking of the
roof Of the building, caused by the
enormous downpour, which literally
| tore up the gravel and pitch roof In
/ places. A new roof had been placed
on the building within the past few
days
! Others Damaged.
| The water did considerable dam
age to the Woolworth and 10 cent
store and that, too, was closed to
business today. This was caused by
i the moving Of merchandise to the
street floor. There was not great
amount of damage done here.
| s. C. Cullen & Co., Iowa Clio. Co.,
and Globe Tea Co. and other business
houses having goods in their base
ments, removed them yesterday. The
Globe Tea stored the stock of canned
| goods which it keeps in the basement
to the building recently rented for
bakery purposes at the corner Of
Commercial and Market streets. All
| easements in the downtown districts
of the city were flooded more or less
last night.
Sixteen Feet, Eight Inches.

inches near midnight, the turbulent
stream began to subside, and by s

Washington, D. G., May 29.-It was
made evident soon after the senate
convened today that Senator LaFol-
lette would do all In his power to OBJ
struct the passage of the compromise
currency bill and there was ground
for the report that he had succeeded
In obtaining assurance of help from
Senator Stone Of Missouri.
Before 12 o'clock LaFollette had
made two demands for quorum and
when upon the third demand the vice
president refused to recognize him be-
cause Senator Culberson had the floor
and declined to yield, he raised a
point of order to the effect that the
presiding officer should have the roll
called when there was demand for
a quorum even in the face Of a declfn.
alton by the senator occupying the
floor to yield for that purpose.
The vice president held against the
Wisconsin senator and the latter an

How Properly to ciothe These Iu-
porkant Members Of Society.
As q general rule, we do not dive
much thought to a boys outfit, and "a
the midst Of the brilliant displays Of
women's and girls garments Of the
season we forget that boys are really
to be considered at all. A visit to the
places given over to providing for the
very young discloses the fact that
there are styles as distinct as those for
girls and their mothers. To begin, we
VIII frst notice the headgear for the
small boy. Tam-o' -shanters are much
liked for boys under six and seven
These nearly all have some sort OF en-
blem embroidered upon the crown, par
ticularly IL 1t be a stiff one. Some OF
the tams have soft crowns, just the
kind the boy can pull down into any
shape he finds best suited to his sense
Of comfort. Some wear them pulled
down over one ear. while others wear
them on the very back Of the head. ]

his hat on the back Of his head, SO far

There are many regular Scotch caps
Rob Roys they ara called. These are
made Of anything. almost, the prefer
snce being some dark cloth. There are
the little ribbon bow and ends at the
back and the wee bit rosette" nj the
left side, with the stiff little heron
quill. This style IL most suitable for
the young men Of six and seven, and
they are and always were jaunty and
pretty. have seen two or three with
a band Of plaid ribbon, a clan plaid,
stitched along the brim, and they are
pretty. but the average boy would pre-.
fer less color.
Soft felt hats for boys of, say. from
eight to fourteen are shown. and few
derbies and polo caps Polo caps are
just the thing for active boys; but. IN
fortunately for the boys. the mothers
buy the hats and do not consider polo
caps dressy enough.
Pants for small boys may be of two
kinds, gathered at the knees or made
snug. One boy told me that the tight
ones were mo good, for they dent let
you have bit of fun and your mother
Is always at you about keeping them
whole" So 1t Is to be supposed that
the boys like the looser ones best.
Blouse suits for boys under seven
are made In the Russian blouse shape,
which has a blouse reaching to the
knees. Leggings to match a suit are
considered the best style for dress, but
the leather leggings made famous by
little Lord Fauntleroy are still with Us

are many kinds of stockings, all war
ranted to stand the wear on the knees,
but so far l have never seen anything
that could really do that. The hosiery
is all black now, some being ribbed
and some plain. Shoes are cut much
higher on the ankle than heretofore
and generally lace.
Norfolk jackets and snug coats are
shown for the larger boys, but have
seen no three piece suits for any boy

1t is made 50 that it reaches just be-
low the knees. The legglngs reach

Boy Was Sentenced to Industrial
Home Last FAN.
Judge Mccall, of Rathdrum, is in
the city today and to a Press repre-
sentative stated that the case of
young Gordon Irving, sentenced to
the industrial home last fall in the
probate court, from this city, should
have had earlier attention, but a
question regarding the proper officer
to take the boy to the home was rails
ed. The sentence was not carried
out and has been left unexecuted for
numerous reasons.
The sheriff thought he would have
business in the southern part of the
state soon and had agreed to take
the boy at that time, but he has not
made the trip and it was thought the
boy might improve his conduct If
given an opportunity, but he seems
to need strict discipline and win
soon be taken to the reformatory.
