WATER RECED|NG;
DAMAGE IS VISIBLE
Railroad Between Alexandria and
West Quincy Sustained Most
Serious Damage by High
Water.
MUCH ROCK NECESSARY
Thirty Loads Dumped In to Protect
Track, Saved Burlington From
Track Wash
Outs.

The falling of the waters in the
Mississippi show to what extent the
property along the river has been
damaged. Between Alexandria and
Quincy the Burlington railroad suf-
fered considerable damage and the
dumping of rock to protect the road
was necessary The Quincy Herald
has the following concerning this:
The greatest damage in the recent
high water was done to the roadbed.
when the river was at the highest
stage few days ago, trains had TO
move very slowly over the submerged
portions of the ''K" line. Below Alex
andria the water was so deep 1t was
over the bottom steps Of the passen-
ger coaches. The water washed under
the track and the rails sagged in
places, causing the coaches to rock as
the train moved along. It took any
where from one to two hours to ira
verse the ten miles OF track south OF
Alexandra and thirty to forty-fve
minutes to get over the 11s miles OF
submerged track between West Quin
cy and Mark. Sunday night the road
bed south Of West Quincy was washed
out on both sides. 1T looked for time
as If a section Of track would be
swept away. put iOiSuAA@SSAy SAAS
work train from Hannibal was there
and as quickly as possible the road
bed was riprapped with rock. This
made the foundation for the track
fairly solid and kept the water from
undermining the rest of the submerg-
ed track. In all, thirty loads OF rock
were used in filing up the gaps made
by the water in less than one and
one-half miles. Rock was also used
for riprapping the roadbed south OF
Alexandria Considerably more rock
was needed there, as nearly ten miles
of track were covered with water,
which at the deepest was twenty-five
inches. The water over the track
south OF West Quincy was never deep
err than eighteen inches. Now that
the river Is going down, the construc-
ton train is hauling material from
the quarries to Alexandria and West
Quincy, where it is being used to re-
pair the roadbed. Rapid progress is
being made The track is safe and
sound and trains are getting through
on good time, arriving here not more
than fifteen to twenty minutes late.
The flood has done more or less
damage all along the river especially
from Keokuk south as far as Louis
lana.

[Republlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug 30.-Champion Freddie Welsh and Challenger Charley White showed lit- tie mercy today to their sparring part ners while training for their champion ship 20-round match scheduled for next Monday afternoon. With only three days left for boxing, the last of these to be merely limbering up bouts, both men were crowding on all steam during the interval remaining.
 White realizes that his opportunity has arrived, and unless he wins the match will be relegated to the pugil- istic discards as far as biS matches are concerned. The old pioneer slogan of "Pike's Peak or Bust he has recon structed into Championship or Bust" His weight today after his workout is 1862 pounds, which he claims is heavier than. he has ever been five days before a fight.
 Boxing experts who have watched the men are of the opinion that both are as nearly perfectly trained as it i is possible to make them. It is remark ed that notwithstanding the altitude neither boxer shows the slightest signs of difficulty in breathing. notwith standing the fast work they have been 1 putting up the last few days.
