Arkansas Levee In Danger.

Arkansas Levee In Danger.
Memphis, Tenn, April g.
With the Mississippi river swell
ing to what will probably be the
highest stage in it's history and
the flood beating with it's great
est force against the embank-
ments about Charlottesville. NO.,
and along the Reelfoot levee
west of Hickman, KY, the only
report from the levee workers
tonight that might be regarded
as unfavcrable came from Biggs,
Arkansas, south of this city,
where a "boil" developed today.
Officials Of the St. Francis Levee
Board who have supervision over
this section of the levee, express
the opinion however, that the
situation there was not serious
and the trouble would be quickly
remedied. Additional rten will
be dispatched from Memphis
to work on this stretch of levee
tomorrow.
United States Engineer Hinton
who is directing the fight along
the Reelfoot levee, reported to
the headquarters of the engineer
corps here ! ate tonight that the
embankment was withstanding
the strain we'll.
Similar reports came from
Charlottesville.
The gauge at Memphis tonight
showed a stage of 44.3 feet,
within one foot of the record
stage of last year, when several
levees gave way. The rise dur
ing the day was six-tenths Of
a foot. The crest of the food is
not expected to reach Memphis
for at least five days.
CONDITIONS AT MEMPHIS.
Beyond the spread of the back
water over several additional
blocks in the northwestern Sec
ton Of Memphis, conditions here
were unchanged today. Levees
along Bayou Gayoso, through
which the water is backing from
Wolf river, a tributary of the
Mississippi, are being raised tt
withstand a 47-foot stage on the
Memphis gauge, a foot above
the maximum predicted. Begin
ming tomorrow, analysis will be
made daily of water supplied
through the North Memphis
pumping plant. So far no con-
termination has been discovered,
but as a precautionary measure
a solution of chloride of lime is
being injected into water coming
through this station.
In all, about eleven blocks
in a cup-like depression are in
undated.
RIVER GAUGE AT HELENA.
Helena, April Cat 7 o'clock
tonight the gauge registered a.
round SO feet. The rise of the
last four days has exceeded
one foot for every "a hours. Not
more than "a or IS feet is ex-
pected here, and the levee COM
missioners assert that the levee
opposite Helena will hold 81
feet, and are not alarmed.
The water usually goes as
high here as at Cairo, at which
point it is now reported to be
falling, having reached 54.8 feet.
Although the reports that the
river was falling at Cairo reach
ed the people here, the levee
work goes on undated, Gay and
night.

DAVIS THEATER.
The Right Princess.

The wonderful powers that love, kindness and good. existing in the na- ture of one person. can exert upon the personality of another may be seen in The Right Princess, an emotional drama, with Maude FeaIy and James Durlkin in the leading roles. at the Davis theater Friday evening, Feb. 21. The theme of the play, written in three acts by Clara Louise Burnha1n, breaks away from the ordinary and Is re- freshfngiy original, carrying with it an object lesson we'll worth needing. Miss Fealy carries the role of The Right Princess in the person of Miss Frances Rogers, the niece of the houeskeeper for an English family of title The heir to the title has been suffering from a mental defect since childhood, when he met with a serious accident. All efforts to cure him have been un- avafling until finally Miss Rogers comes upon the scene. She brings the promise of light through mental sug- gestfon. She is persuaded to devote all her time to the treatment of the young peer and finally accomplishes his cure. Then, of course, he falls in love with her. The efforts of his relations to prevent the marriage presents many dramatic situations. There is a vein of comedy throughout the three acts and the scenic and electrical effects are particularly pleasing.
