RIVER RISES THREE
FEET In TWO DAYS

The Mississippi has risen nearly
three feet in the last 60 hours, accord
ing to Capt. A. c. Jaynes, an old river
man, who watches the river stage
every morning. The rise, however, is
not abnormal, as the river comes up
every year during the spring. Such a
sudden rising has not been recorded,
however, in many years, the rivermen
say.
Thursday morning the stage of the
river was found to be 2O.9 feet and
rose to 23.6 within the next As hours.
Last night the river stood close to "a
feet. Although the water was higher
last year, it was not seen to rise so
suddenly as it did in the last two
days.
Rivermen attribute the rapid rise
of the river mainly to heavy rains in
the North and the melting of the ice.

FIRE DESTROYS
FARM HOME NEAR
CORDoNVILLE,MO.
Home Of Louis Hit Burned
to Ground in His Absence
Yesterday Afternoon.
ONLY FEW HOUSEHOLD
GOODS ARE RESCUED

The farmhouse of Louis Hit, on the
Gordonville road, was destroyed yes
terday noon by fire while Mr.. Hit was
in Jackson attending the school meet.
Only few pieces of furniture were
saved. Those who were present when
the fire was discovered were finally
driven from their rescue work and
forced to look on while the flames con-
sumed the big two-story house.
The blaze was discovered by Misss
Nellie Hit, a daughter, who, with her
brother, Luther, and servant, Miss
Laura Watson, were eating dinner.
When the fire was discovered the en-
tire roof was ablaze. The three began
to carry out what they could handle,
and with the assistance of several
neighbors, who came to their aid, sue
ceeded in saving some of the house
hold goods The dense smoke in the
house and the heat finally drove them
intp the open and forced them to
abandon efforts to save the furniture.
4r. Hit went to Jackson yesterday
morning in his machine in company
with Mr. Watkins, the teacher of the
Alternately school. He did not learn
until late in the afternoon that his
home had been destroyed He told his
friends that he estimated his loss at
approximately $500, which was partly
covered by insurance.
The cause of the fire was not learn
ed, but it is believed it was due to
defective fiue. The fire, Miss Hit told
The Tribune, started near the CHM
ney IN the roof. A fire in the kitchen
stove is believed to have been respon-
sible for the blazes. Miss Hit said
that when she noticed q dense smoke
issuing from the attic, she hurried
outside and discovered the roof ablaze.
Several negihbors were attracted by
the smoke and hurried to the chill
dren's assistance. Mr.. HIT and his
children went to the home of his old
est son, Horace Hit, whose farm is
about a mile west Of the destroyed
house

FOUR PEBOYSNOW.
ON MEXICAN BORDER

The four Cape boys, who recently
were enlisted for military services in
st. Louis, departed yesterday morn
ing for Douglas, Ariz., on the Mexican
border, according to telegram w. d.
Black received yesterday from his son,
Charles, one of the young men. The
other three ale Robdrt Flanuigan
Gene Speak and Russell Mcbride.
All four youths are in the same COM
pany. They were assigned to the
Eleventh Infantry and will be sta
toned along the border for an indef-
mite period.
Mr.. Black made an effort Friday
morning to communicate with his son
by telephone, but the authorities at
Jefferson Barracks, where the young
men received their first training, de-
clined to let Mr.. Black speak to his
son. He was requested to call again
Saturday evening.
According to the telegram Mr.. Black
received from his son yesterday, 90C
men were sent to Douglas yesterday
morning for border duties.
Welton r. Berch and George w
Boyce, two Cape boys were enlisted
yesterday for services in the infantry
st the local recruiting station and will
be sent to Jefferson Barracks in a few
days. Two others were also enlisted
by Sergeant O'Rourke yesterday. They
are Thomas B. Mulkey of near Chaffee
and Rudolph j. Bliss of Maiden.
Boyce, who was formerly employed
at the butcher shop OF Frank Lawler
on independence street, will be detain-
ed for some time before he can be sent
70 Jefferson Barracks. He has been
suffering from chicken-pox for several
| days and it will be at least a week
| before he can depart for the garrison
in Jefferson Barracks. He applied al
the local recruiting station last We'd
neSday, but it was not until yester-
day that his application was accepted
cepted.
The four enlistments brought in yes
tercay made a total of 81 applicants
at the local recruiting station since
April l, or an average of three every
day. Cape Girardeau is leading all
other recruiting stations in the st
Youis district, except st. Louis.
Sergeant O'Rourke said yesterday
that he was disappointed at the small
number of applications received up to
this time from Cape boys. The great
majority of those who have enlisted
at the local recruiting station were
young men from the lower counties
Cooter, a small town in Pemiscot
County, has sent more than a dozen
men to the army in the last two weeks
| Other cities as Charlottesville, Por-
tageville, Chaffee, New Madrid anC
other small towns in the southeastern
part of the State have also contributed
to swell the enlistments at the Cape
recruiting station.
| Since the declaration of war by the
| United States on Germany, Sergeant
O'Rourke has received orders to again
enlist colored men for services in the
army. During the time of peace the
colored regiments were filled and fol
that reason no applications were &C
cepted for these regiments. Up to this
time the Sergeant has not enlisted a
colored man.
