FEARS OF, ANOTflER FLOOD Hsavj Eaini Threaten to Causa Dei Hainai aid Coon Emit to Orarflow, CANDIDATES ARE EARLY IN THE FIELD Several Have Already Announced ' Their Intention to Go Before)' ' 1 tha Repnbllcan Conven tion Next Year. ' (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, Aug.. 16. (Special.) Th heavy rains of the ast two days in central Iowa have caused alarm again along. the rivers. The Des Moines and Raccoon river rose about eight feet the past day and a half and are still rising steadily. Thla has caused some overflow of the lowlands lying along the river and several families havs begun to. get ready to move out on short notice, fearing a repetition of the floods ot a few wwekg ago. It la certain that the Des Molnea. river will rlse still, higher because reports from above ar to the effect that the heavy rains la the central part of the etsts have caused the smaller atreama to become rivers. The fact that the ground la ao fully saturated with water makes It easy for the river to rise high again. The clear ing up of the previous flood here has not been fully eompleted. Some famtllea were still living in tenta until this week, when the city ordered all the tenta returned. The fact that there has besn no serious Illness in the flooded district I due en tirely to the care taken by th city officials In having the cleaning done and disinfection of all the pools of water left standing.

Palmer ot Washington, the present Incumbent, Is also likely to be a candidate and Mr. Blake more of Taylor county, who waa in the race this year. The two plaoea on tha ticket will probably be the only ones over which there can be any controversy, aa the three other placea will doubtless be filled by ac clamation. During the coming week the republicans will nominate a candidate for congress In the Second district and the democrats In the Eighth district. The republican con vention will be at Clinton on Wednesday, with four active candidates William Hoff man. Muscatine: F. W. Ellis. Clinton: O. W. Gregory, Maqtioketa; W. H. Wilson. Davenport.
