The daily paper was lying on the table
at her elbow. and her glance at length

below the junction Of the Wabash and
Ohio rivers and is situated on low
lands.
From Cairo north on the Mississippi
river much concern is being shown by
the residents. particularly Belleville
and New Athens. Farmers surrounding
New Athens have been driven from
their homes and forced to go into the
city to save their lives. SoSle living
north of the place are marooned in
their homes and it will be necessary
to rescue them by motor boats. In the

Connection Cut OFF.

In the Kentucky towns Of Dayton,

all communication with Cincinnati,
Newport and Covington has been sus-
pended.
In these towns there are total of
1000 persons being cared for by relief
committees and moro than 500 homes
have been flooded Property damage
will be immense, especially as this is
the second time within three months
that the Ohio valley has suffered from
high water
Street car officials here announced
that when the river has reached sixty
eight feet the power plants which ope-
rate the ear lines to the Kentucky
shore will be out of commission and
communication with Cincinnati will be
eut off. So far only two Of the five
big bridges ACROSS the Ohio at this
point have been seriously affected. The
other three are so high that it will re-
Guire more than seventy-two feet of

Medical Supplies Short.

ITO add TO the menace OF the situa-
tion, we found that with one or two ex-
oeptions every stock Of drugs in Dayton
was destroyed by the food. aMny OF our
officers are without medical or surgical
supplies. a lieutenant doctor came TO me
today begging for supplies, He snid he
had several obstetrlcal cases to care for,
besides several urgent surgical cases. but
had nothing to work with. Medical
knowledge does not do a man much good
if he has not drugs and instruments.
Already there are a considerable num-
Der OF sick here, but We are making ev-
cry effort possible to care for these pa
tients- A maternity hospital has been
established in Dayton View. an emer-
gency hospital is being operated, under
extreme difficulty, however in the court
house, and a hospital for conta gious dis
eases already is treating several cases
OF chicken pox, mumps and measles.
There are innumerab Bile cases Of la

South from Cairo the Mississippi is
steadily rising. The stage at Memphis
is expected to reach 3S feet by Mon
day. Convicts will be brought from
Little Rocl1 to assist in the work Of
strengthening OF the levee. The crest
OF the flood is expected to reach Mem
phis in two weeks. River men feel
certain the stage will exceed that Of
1919, when all previous records were
broken. President s Island, south of
Memphis. is expected to be under wa
ter by Tuesday All refugees from
there have been brought to Memphis
A stage Of so feet is expected at
Helena, Ark, by the end of next week.
The levee there can hold this stage,
but in fear of higher one gangs are
working to strengthen what is known
as the north levee.
Railroads have begun preparations
for a flood. Fearing a repetition of

Openings All Closed.

CAIRO, Ill, March 29.-All openings
in the stone wall around Cairo are
being closed tonight and strengthened
with sand bags.
The flood gate which shuts Cairo
off from the drainage district on the
north probably will be closed tomorrow,
The river registered so feet at Z
clock tonight.
Three companies Of the Missouri ma
tional guard will concentrate today at
Commerce, Mo-, north of here, to pa
troll and protect the Mississippi river
levees. Telegrams sent to Adjutant
General O'Mearer indicate that the
Mississippi may rise higher than ever
before and that the levees arc not as
strong as they should be.
Major A. V. Adams, chief Of the
quartermasters corps of the Missouri
national guard, started for Commerce
from st. Louis last night, where he
arranged TO ship forty tents for the
use of refugees in southeast Missouri,
whose farm lands now are flooded.
In Mississippi county all living in
the lowlands have been warned by
telephone to prepare for flood.
