Almost Up to the Sixteen Foot Dang
err Mark at ottumwa and Still
Climbing.

The Des Moines river, jealous of the
actions of the Mississippi and other
big streams, is doing something on its
own account and the situation at OF
tumwa is rather serious. The river is
now falling at Des Moines but is ris-
ing south of there. Last evening S
Courier tells of the flood at Ottumwa
as follows:
With a two foot rise from o'clock
yesterday evening until 8 O'Clock this
afternoon the Des Moines river at
Ottumwa has now reached the danger
mark of sixteen feet. 1t is still rising
at the rate of about. one inch an hour.
From two inches to two feet of water
is standing in the cellars OF business
houses on Main and Market streets.
The river is receeding at Des Moines
after remaining stationary all day yes
terday, and gradual fall lower down
the river is expected, but local river
observers believe Ottumwa will get a
further rise of from four to six inches
at least before the stationary stage is
reached.
