Low water on the upper Mississip-

The steamer Morning Star, due here
last Friday afternoon at O'Clock. mas
not yet put in an appearance and so
for no word has been received here as
TO its whereabouts. AS the vessel
started on the return from st. Paul
on time, the only explanation for the
delay is the prevailing law water. There
is falling tendency all the way Fr1'n
here to st. Paul and at one point
little below that place, the water is al
ready 3 OF foot under the low water
mark, so that it seems that service up
stream must soon be discontinued I'M
less heavy rains are forthcoming
The st. Paul is expected to put in
here from ST Louis for the night how
ever, and the Streckfus office says 1t
will continue its journey northward il
the morning. The st. Paul, however,
draws less water than almost any
vessel in the service and for this rca-
