A terrible flood is sweeping
The Mississippi Valley. Nine
thousand square miles OF Loulsi-
ana are under water, and thou
sands more of the richest portion
are threatened. The inhabitants
are huddled together in temper
ary quarters awaiting the arrival
of relief steamers. One steamer
picked up 500 people and l,OOO
head of cattle, all in danger ol
drowning. Cattle have been knee
deep in water for two days with
out food. Business is thoroughly
demoralized and the whole
country is in most terrible
condition.

General Grosvenor.

Ifthere is a man in Ohio poll
iics We especially dislike from a
Democratic stand point, it is
Charley Grosevenor. He is un-
scrupuIous in his policies. He is
intense in his politics. He makes
his enemies squirm and US Dem.
ocrats mad. He is not a man
who "sits on the style, Mary.
but he is a fellow who is out in
the political potato patch al
work he is not . man who sits
on the fence He goes into The
field and every body knows in
what pasture lot he Is in hornins
fhe decrepi: out of the herd.
The redist-icting OF the Slate
places him with majority be-
find him, if he is candidate, OF
1000. The election of Repub
iican in that district is inevita-
be. Inasmuch as a Republican
must come from the 18th district,
why not Grosvenors He is a
commanding man in the Ameri-
can congress. He is a recognized
leader Of his party-a man who
fights us fearlessly and some
times forcibly. "He is man
for a that"
No poor soldier Of his or any
other district. asked his atten-
ton who did not get it. An in
stance we will mention. George
Cook, soldier from the start ID
the finish, died. George asked
fer no pension, though de-
serving one. Mrs. Cook soor
afterwards died leaving a de-
pendent family of children II

request was made 10 the Super
fniendent of the Xenia Soldiers

che Cook boys. Word came bacl
that Hooking county's quota wa

the boys.
Gen. Glosvenor was written to
