The heavy rains and high
waters that seem to have extend
ed over all the surrounding conn
try, gave Salem rather more than
its share. Never in the history
of the town have the waters here
been so high. 1t was in all the
business houses in the center of
town and a number of houses
al.o, while the lower part of the
town was completely flooded.

given evidence Of possessing
that shrewd ness in politics which
has ever characterized him in
business. Like the majority Of
right thinking Democrats, he has
come to the conclusion that the
safety Of the country lies in q
sound financial policy, and has
deserted the Bryan and sewalli
standard.

It's impossible to speak too
highly of the generosity of the
Baltimore q Ohio authorities in
providing prompt transportation
for the delegates returning from
the convention, in view of the
fact that bridges. track and tres
ties were in many places washed
out, rendering travel very diff.
cult. But the railroad company
were equal to the emergency,
and with admirable dispatch and
enterprise, were soon able to
transfer their passengers, who
reached. their destination with.
out any considerable loss OF time.

The Flood.
Great Damage Throughout
West Virginia.

The great food last week will
go down in history as one Of the
most disastrous in years. In ali
the centra. West Virginia coun.
ties the bridges are gone, thou.
sands of acres of meadows are
ruined and many cornfields are
worthless. The water at C.larks.
burg did not get as high as in
1888, but it was bad enough and
did lot of damage. An old
conductor ON the B. & o. says:
II have been travelling for
fifteen years, and in all that time
] never saw anything like the
present situation. The entire
country along the B. 4 o. api
pears to be ruined, and many
people have lost everything they
possessed. AS we came along on
our way to Grafton we could
see entire families standing along
the track or on the hillsides, in
the rain, their houses. crops and
everything else having been car
ried off or DESTROYED. These
people now have to face the
coming winter in a helpless and
destitute condition, for their only
dependence was often on what
they could cultivate during the
summer. The amount of rainfall
must have been tremendous, for
every ravine in the mountains
was full from one hillside to the
other, while the runs were
creeks and the creeks rivers,
while the larger streams looked
like lakes wherever there was
enough level ground for the
water to spread out. Everything
was torn to pieces by the force
OF the current, and it is very un.
certain when the railroad will be
running again. Wednesdays
food was bad enough, but that
OF Friday was worse, and was
doubly destructive, coming on
top Of the first one.
These hot days bring to mind
the Mountain Chautauqua, with
its cool breezes and picturesque
woods. The literary program at
Mt. Lake Park this year is I'm.
surpassed in brllliancy. The
Hotel Chantauqua, nader the
management of John Dunhill, is
9 favorite among visitors from
this section, and has for its
hostess the celebrated authoress
and and evangelist Miss Jennie
Smith. The matron, Mrs. vir.
ginia Slime, is well known to
many people in Harrison county.
No one who stops at the Hotel
iChautauqua can ever fail to be
royalty entertained. This hotel
was formerly called Grace Cot.
tage and was founded by Miss
Jennie Smith.

Word comes. from all quarters
telling of the damage done by
the recent rains. Bridges have
been washed out at various
points, and the whole country
deluged. Nor did the raging
torrents spare the stone founda-
tions, but swept the whole thing
away in its mad rush. Untold
loss will be sustained by the ru-
raj districts, and the farmers
will be the heaviest losers, and
an early special session of the
County Court will probably be
necessary to make arrangements

A DARK DEED.
please copy.

This is the language used by the At
Ianta Constitution, aD3mocrasic paper,
in telling how and when Secretary
Carlisle signed the call for the last
800, O0O, 900 issue of bonds:
Midnight, Sunday night! There
was a cropping about in the dark
cautious movements for fear of turn
ing over a chair-a whispered consul
tation in the corridors. Suddenly the
clock strikes. The hour has come; it
is time for the robbery Up goes the
sides of the dark lantern, the bond
call is spread out, and with one stroke
of his pen Secretary Carlisle, repre-
senting his master, signs away another
ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOL
LARS worth of the peoples substance,
to replace which they will have to
labor and sweat and practice their
pitiful economies as they have never
done before since the Republic was es-
tablished.
1t is well that the hour of midnight
night was selected for the consumation
of this browning infamy. 1t was an
evil deed and the darkest hour of the
t~wenty-four was the hour of its &C
complishment.

NOTICES.

No one ever thought of introducing
so expensive a feature as photographic
color work in the days when the lead
ing magazines sold for 81 a year and 35
cents a copy. But times change, and
the magazines change with them. 1t
has remained for the Cosmopolitan,
sold at one dollar a year, to put in an
extensive photographic plant capable of
printing 800, 900 pages per day zone
color. The January issue presents as
a frontispiece a water color drawing by
Eric Pape. illustrating the last story
by Robert Louis Stevenson, which has
probably never been excelled even in
the pages of the finest dollar French
periodicals. TIE cover of the Cosmo-
politan is also changed, a drawing of
page length by the famous Paris artist
Rossi, in photographic colors on white
paper takes the place of the MANILA
back with it's red stripe. Hereafter the
cover is to be a fresh surprise each
month.
