33 1-2 Feet.

Business Is Re
sumed. ",.
The r;-e or the river has stopped; and
It is expected that it will begin to fall
rlowly to-day. The dikes and railroad
embankments arotfhd East St. Louis,
Venice. Granite City and Madison with
stood the flood, and the damage has not
been great.
Ijist uildnUht the gauge at St. Louis
marked SS'i feet. Unless there are further
heavy rains all danger from the flood Is
part.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad em
bankment at Venice gave way In one
place yesterday, an for a time threat
ened trouble. By quick work, however,
the gap was speedily filled, and It Is an
nounced that the embankment will with
stand the strain of the river until It sub
sides. ,
Resides the Mississippi at St. Louis, the
Weather Bureau reports that the Missouri
and Illinois rivers will begin to rail to
day. Several hundred families who had
fled from Venice, .Madison and Granite
City at the first sight or danger returned
to their homes yesterday.
Little rear is now relt in East SL Louis
on account of the hlcli water. Business
has been resumed and the merchants are
again hustling ror trade.
Hfmdreds of persons watched the river
as it rose tho last day and many walked
to the Illinois Central right or way to
view the flood waters.
The preparations which have been made
by Mayor Silas Cook aand City Engineer
Helm and the men under them have re
stored confidence In the city nnd practic
ally all tear has vanished. Many who fled
rrom their homes are returning. The
only part of the city affected so far as
what is known as ltush City, a negro
squatters' settlement, near the old race
track.
Filtered water is still being supplied to
the citizens although the flood waters of
the river are being kept out or the filtered
water basin by a dike or sacked clay 3
reet high.
ma dike wbs hunt Wednesday nUht and
yesterdav morning by a gang or men un
der the direction of Charles Hotner. Mr.
Horner says that he hopes to supply fil
tered water, but that if his dike should
break and the river water flood the fil
tered water basin that he will connect the
settled-water b3sln with the city supply
pipes. These basins are beyond the reach
of the flood.
The greatest damage so far has been to
the railroads In the "lower yards." The
roads moved out their freight and have
been doing but little business, through
Tear or the flood. It is expected that by
the beginning of next week the shipping
will be resumed.

i '
Council Bluffs' Executive, Un
aided Arrests Fourteen
Tersons.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Council Bluffs, la.. April IS. With his
back to the door and a 45-callber Colt re
volver In his hand. Mayor McCrea of this
city last night raided the big and fash
ionable Manhattan saloon and alleged
gambling den, arrested single-handed
fourteen persons, and confiscated the
paraphernalia of the place.
Afterwards the doughty Mayor made
the rounds of the town, raided three
other smaller gambling dens, and prac
tically broke up gambling In the city
within two hours. The Mayor's action
came as the culmination of a crusade
against gambling which has been waged
for some time, and In which It is said the
Mayor could not secure the co-operation
of the police force.
Shortly after midnight McCrea entered
the Manhattan saloon and demanded en
trance to. the rear room, from which the
clink of chips could be plainly heard.
"Who are you7" demanded the bar
keeper. "I happen to be the Mayor 'of this town,"
returned McCrea, drawing a big gun.
"You open that door or there will be
trouble."
Tremblingly the barkeeper opened the
door and the Mayor entered, gun In hand.
There was a wild scramble among the In
mates, but the sight of the gun pre
vented any from leaving the place- AH
were taken to the police station in the pa
trol wagon. To-day all gamblers are
asking to be permitted to leave town
without further prosecutions.
Summer In tbe East.
It Is estimated that there will be a lar
ger travel to the Eastern resorts this year
tbanfor s'eveml years.
The New York Central Lines will offer
a marvelous train service, and anticipate
that their facilities will be taxed to then
utmost capacity.

be honored. They are good, however, any
