FLOOD IS NEARING CREST
ACCORDING TO RIVER-MEN
Thirty-Foot Daager Mark May Be Beached To-Day, bat Moat of
the Shipping Along the Levee Has Beea Bemored to Places of
Safety Packet Companies Not Taking Any Chances.
GAUGE SHOWS RISE OF NEARLY
Notwithstanding the enrouraittne pre
dictions made by Fcrc-caster Bowie yes
terday to the effect that the Mississippi
River would not xo over the a-foot tnarjc
experienced rivermtn ray the present rue
wilt so to near the 30 mark, the danger
lie?.
In his special bulletin of warning, issued
Suclay. Kcrecaster Bowie announced that
the Mississippi would reach the danger
mark bv to-night. Further developments
in the river at pointr above Si. Insula and
the rece-lln. of th Missouri River have
caused Mr. Boale to alter his predictions i
ana iv kivv ine larmerF ana iinuwu-tn-n
more favorable reports.
The gauee at the Harbor Office yester
day at 6 p. m. registered within a frac
tion of the 2-foot mark, with a rising
river. The gaugn ahoweu a rise of 4.8 feet
In twenty-four hours.
The Missouri River east of Kansas
City will fall during the next severs!
days." says Forecaster Bowie, "except
that there ntll be a further rise of not
to exceed .5 of a foot at Hermann. The
Mi3lippi between Grafton and Chester
will continue to rl tut at a utatly re
duced rat. At- St. Louis jihc riier will
come to a stand Wednesday at a stage
near 9 feet, nml will start to fall at this
point Vednedav night or Thurs-lay. The L
jiunois ami the upper Mississippi win not
change materially."
Old rivermen usually base their predic
tion on a "river full' of ilriftwood." and
that was the case yesterday. They dec-Lire
that more water l always on lt
way down stream whenever the driftwood
conditions exist in thi iniJcurrcnt. All
day yesterday the river prcnted a foamy
aim dtirtwood-cover-U surrac-.
The wise old men say the river will not
come to x atan.1 l.v :.i.n-ht. Th-V tre-
dfi:t that it will continue to rle through- J
out to-day and to-r.iieht. and. after tne
30-foot danger mark ! reached, there
is a posslbllitv of it "showing Its crest"
and receding slowlr. They blieve that
there is fullv another foot rle coming,
but declare that the river will not reach
mor than th first pr-diction of Forecast
er Bowie that of feet.
Hundreds of slght-sirers lined the titer
front yesterlay. and thronged to the I-vw.
to see the treacherous stream. Many bales
of hay p.iwd down the river during the
day. A little cabin. h!ch had been de
serted and left empty. cojM le seen In
midstream, while an accumulation of Im
plement and discarded household cool
floated donn.
All arriving sfamboat crews yesterday
reported that there was no great loss
above or boiow Ht. Loul. TIte farmers,
although they did not expect the rlc.
grew siisplcioun whn it came upon them
at such an unusual season, and prepared
to meet it. In onse lntances a few
head of stock ere lot.
The packet companies are not taking ar.y
chance-. All manifests brought in by
stiambnats yesterday were t.ikn to the

commission men. to whom the freight was

He does not think that the volume

Reports received to-day from the

The ridges and creek bottoms raised an
enormous crop, but jester day morning the

much corn that had been cut was washed

The same rtjort comes from all the

Utica. M.j S.-pt. .-The heavy rains

and Wolf Creek out of their banks, and
the entire bottom east of Utica is a sea
of water, coveting hundreds of acres of
wheat land which was narfy to sow
T add to the peril of the situation.
Grand River Is out of Its banks tn places,
and rapidly rising, so that an overflow
from this stream Is almost certain.
Hundreds of acres of corn are from 2

apprehension Is felt by the bottom farm
ers. During the severe electrical storm yes
terday the residence of Brewster Coit In
Utica was struck by lightning, and the
Interior completelr demolished, even the
windows being torn out. Mrs. Colt was
severely shocked, but not seriously In
