SHOWING
LITTLE RISE NOW
Continued From Page -

The waters are getting into the chal-
tau1na tent which is located upon a
hillside and 1t has been found neces.
sary to move it farther up the hill.
Some little difficulty has been ex-
perienced by the railroads passing
through Ottumwa today but no special
trouble has been met with. Both the
Burlington and K & D. trains which
follow the line Of the Des Moines river
for distance have been late and the
Milwaukee trains have also been
slightly behind time on account Of
soft t1ackage.
