Dr. S. S. Adams delivered an interesting
lecture to the teachers of the public schools
yesterday afternoon at the hall of the Cen
trail High School. His subject was Con
tagious Diseases The doctor gave a
lengthy explanation of contagious diseases,
defining the different diseases, including
smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever. He
said that children between the ages of
seven and ten years were most susceptible
to disease Parents, he said, frequently
want their children to contract measles or
chickeEpoX when they are young but this
idea, he said is Il Lad one. He advised that
mothers should protect rather than expose
their children to danger. Some good adj
vice was given to the teachers concerning
the precautions they should take for the
protection of their pupils, and the doctor
explained how some of the diseases were
contracted. Another lecture on the same
subject will be given.

A Bad Outlook on the Lower River
The Loss in and About Manning
ton One Hundred and Fifty Thou
sand Dollars-The Situation in
the Eastern Part of the State.

Cincinnati, O., July 26.-Though the
sky is clear here tonight the change OF
temperature rushing the mercury high
up in the eighties, causes apprehension
of more rain and an accession to the
flood in the Ohio. Reports from all
points above here in the Ohio river as
far as Wheeling show that stream is
rising. At Cincinnati at ten o'clock to-
night the river stood thirty-fve feet
one inch above high water, having ris-
en- thirteen inches in four hours, or
three end one-quarter inches per hour
The rate of rise, moreover, is increas-
ing hourly. There's seems to be no
doubt that the Ohio River Railway IN
the vicinity of Parkersburg and the
Baltimore and Ohio from Parkersburg
east have about resumed traffic. Great
forces have been employed repairing
washouts in Ohio and it is fair to pre-
sumo that all the roads embarrassed by
the floods will resume tomorrow, eX-
cept those among the bad washouts IN
the Muskingum Valley.
