GALENA, Ills, June 24.-The terrific
rain fall of Wednesday night and yes.
terday, has proved 10 be the most dis
astrous of any storm ever before exper-
fenced in this locality. The Galena
river rose at the rate OF an inch each
minute, and Main street by eight
o'clock last nigh: was flooded and row
boats were resorted to as the only
means OF crossing the street, and OBJ
tanning entrance into some Of the build-
ings. The easements and lower floors
OF every business house in time was
flooded with deep water, At the Law
renee hotel, tho water stood seven feet
deepin the dining room parlor, and at
the European hotel the parlor floor was
several feOt under water. Business men \
attempting to rescue books and papers
found themselves up to their necks in
water ia their offices and were obliged
to leave everything, in order to escape
with thcir lives
The custom house floor, however, was

tho Merchants bank, in which build
ing IS located the Western Union tele-
graph office Tho wires OF that COM
pany were ont OF order owing 10 the
storm and flood, and all communication
with the outside world was n part OF the
time impossible. The upper bridge,
owned by the Illinois Central, notwith-
standing the heavy ballast Of stone
laden freight cars, broke away and was
hurled into the river, ballast and all.
The heavy iron structure known as the
Green street bridge was carried of COM
pletely.
Landslides obstructed the railroads,
as many as twenty OF the distractions
covering the Burlington & Northern
track between Galena and Galena
Junction, a distance Of three miles.
Seven miles OF the Northwestern track
is washed away. The amount Of dam
age that has been done to property
both public and personal cannot be
estimated. The heaviest personal
losses will fall on the lumber dealers.

Of the new road law, some extracts
from same may prove useful.
Sec. 33-Every oserseer, imme-
diately after his appointment, shat
demand of every person WITHIN MS
district. a list OF all the hands he
NAV have IN his family or employs
ment, liable TO work on the road;
the demand shall be made person
ally, or ia writing left at the usual
place of abode OF the person ap"
piled to-; and If any person shall re- e.
fuse or neglect, for the space OF ~
DAYS, 10 deliver to the overseer, inc
list 80 required, such person .. 8 sh s
forfeit and pay the sum or S1O LOT
each hand liable to work, so neg
lected or refused to be gwen In TO
be recovered by an action, IN the
name of the county, and 1t Is maze
the duty OF the oyerseer to cause
sucb action to be instituted.

THE ROAD LAW.

It has for long time been asked,
allow shall we have good roadsT
say by using the law now in force,
talking less and working more.
Section AZ of our present road
law provides that roads may be
worked by contract.
Is this any improvement on the
old system? Yes; under the old
system, which is the present sys:
tenn. unless changed by the Board
Of Supervisors, the overseer gets
nothing for bis work but curses
and bad wishes; and if he does not
work the road the hands are not
bothered; while road overseers are
excused from grand jury duty the
hands who 60 free through their
neele ct compose the grand jury and
will not report their overseers VINO
never summons them to work the
road. While under the system
which the Board may adopt, the
contract or shall give bond to keep
the road in good condition as per
specifications in his contract, and
has the same right to summon the
hands for the same number OF days
that tho overseer has, and since
the more days that he works the
hands the more 1t will be for him,
be will work every man the v hole
time required, aud in return since
the road hands have to do full work
they will see that the contractor
furnishes them good roads to travel
on. And, again; the Board has a
right to levy a road tax. Under
the Ole system the poorest peasant
has to do as much road work as
the richest man in the country. He
has to keep up the roads for those
upon whom God has bestowed the
good things of this world. Under
the new law the Board may levy a
tax to keep up the road. Is this
right? Yes; if the man who pay s
taxes on a twO-horse team now can
be provided with a good road he
can use One-horse tea m and save
the feeding of one horse; so it Is
better for him to pay for the road
that saves half of his team expense
and reduces his taxable property,
than to be paid by the man who Is
not able to enjoy a good road for
himself when he has made it.
| make these few suggestions,
and hope that orr Board of Super
viSors will consider the matter.

NEWSPAPER LAWS.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
"If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper ia sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that rev
fuslng to take periodicals from Of
fee before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound TO give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send il
on and subscribers will be respon.
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all IS sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any man for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses TO pay for it. Under this
law it is a dangerous trick for a
man to allow his subscription &C.
count to ruu on from six months
to q year and then tell the post

send the editor notice to dlscOn-
tinue the paper"
