Bodies of the dead have been ees floating in the torrent frequently the last few days. Hundreds of cattle were also drowned. When the water falls away and the bodies of animals and human beings are attacked by tbe sun, tbe physicians fear much sickness will follow. Already the stench la being noticed and in some quarters of the city Is well-nigunbearable. FEARS FOR ST. L6UI3. 7 ; Flood Almost Certain to Do Damage to That City. Already beyond the danger line at BL Louis, the Mississippi river continues to rise, and four or five feet more of water may be seen before the maximum la reached. Reports from up the river indicate that the rise will continue for a day or two. Much property damage has already beeq caused by the flood, but with the higher water to come It la feared the loss will grow to enormous sums. foot stage When the thirty-fou- r ; shall be reached there will be two feet of water id the st recta on the levee, the cellar of which are now nearly full of seep water. Damage to the. extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars will be done in St. Louis and, contiguous territory. For - a week the weather bureau baa been tending out warnings of the floods sweeping down from the upper Mississippi and upper Missouri rivers, ' anTatriitxe hid ample opportunity to eeek placet of safety. There will doubtless be some In the lowlands who will rot heed the warnby ings until they are surrounded water, but the .adiitlos for rescuing such here are so ample that none - ahould perish. The river fcau risen to such awtage at Alton, IH-- . that steamers esn pull home on the Island and loaded a part of their household goods on the small boat. In midstream the 'boat capsized and Schmidt was able to save only one of hla children. In some places between here and Alton the river Is five to seven miles wide, covering thousands of acres of farm land, destroying crops, and driving out tbe farmer. The greatest damage yet reported Is at Missouri point, at the confluence of the Mis sourt and Mississippi rivers, where several hundred farmers' and their families have been driven from their JertlleJaniUL by the high water--Sti- ll greater damage In this section Is feared during the coming rise. hlgh-wato- SITUATION BETTER IN NORTH.
