Owing to the dry condition Of the
ground, the rains during the past eight
days nave not had much effect on the
river, the water being mostly absorb
ed. A heavy rain now, however,
would cause of swell of some import
ance to the river interests. 1t was ex-
pected that a stage sufficient to permit
the Cincinnati and Pittsburg packets
to re-enter their trade would be reach

We're general over the territory drain
ed by the streams which are tributary

Wis Island dam was reached yesterday
morning. 1t was about feet 6 inches
The river was rising here all day, but
after six o'clock the water came up
very slowly. At midnight the marks
on the landing showed a stage of
feet inches. 1t will be stationary
this morning, and the stage may be
maintained on account of the heavy
shower yesterday afternoon.
Yesterdays rise will enable the To-
cal packets to continue running for a
week longer at least, if there is no
more rain.
All the local packets were in and out
On time yesterday with good trips.
This is the season when the CiIein-
natl packets would reap the profits OF
the excursions if there were sufficient

CONDITION IMPROVED.
The Sick en- the Concho Removed to
Hoffmnn's Island.

New York, August 1.-Dr. Doty,
health officer of the port, visited the
Concho to-day and found all on board
much improved after a good nights
rest. ~sOne hundred and twenty-five
convalescents were transferred to Hoff-
man Island. The men were elated
over their release from the oyercrowd-
ed quarter of the transport. The sick
left on board the Concho will be trans
ferred to more comfortable quarters
Immediately All are resting comfort
ably. Corporal Patterson and Private
James Rountree are both quite sick
with typhoid fever. Major II. T, AL
len is still on beard suffering from an
abscess in his face.
Sir Bryan Leighton, who was re-
moved from the transport Alamo to
Swinburne island, is said to be very
sick.
New York, August 1.-JT4ieuteEant R.
r. Stogsdall Of the Fourth United
States infantry, who arrived on the
transport Concha yesterday. and who
is recovering from the effects of yellow
fever. said to-day:
"The men were put on board the
Concha because for them to remain in
Cuba longer was sure death. Yellow
fever experts at Santiago said that in
their present weak condition tho men
were subject to typhoid. malarlal and
other fevers and their death was al
most a foregone conclusion This be-
ing the case it was decided to take the
lesser of two evils and get the men
north on the boats available. there be-
ing a chance that II they reached the
north they would recover. This chance
was taken and as already known there
were but six deaths during the trip. I
wish to say that had It net been for
the Red Cross nurses and DR.. Lesser
OF the staff, there probably would have
been over fifty deaths on board"

Papa's Encouraging Talk.

Miss Wilkins" he said, "I met
your father at luncheon to-day, and
We had long and confidential talk"
A glad light came into her big,
soulful eyes, and in low, happy tones
she asked:
"Was papa in pleasant mOod?"
"Yes, he spoke very encouragingly
to me"
For long time she was silent. 1t
was evident that she expected him to
go on. But he only sat there, looking
off into space and tugging at his
mustache.
At last she drew a tremulous sigh
and murmured:
at is strange that papa didn't say
anything to me about it at tea this
evening"
"Well," Henry Twickenham re-
piled, suppose it had passed out of
his mind. lie is very busy man,
you know"
"Still," she said, "He wouldn't be
likely to forget q thing that-that so
directly concerned me-"
"Ah, Miss Wilkins" he cried, ado
you, too, take an interest in me? l as
sure you this is very flattering. Did
you read my plea to the jury in the
Mundlc versus Binkham case? 1t
was that upon which your father es-
pecially congratulated me. He said it
undoubtedly presagcd a bright future
for me-"
Then it suddenly began to grow
chilly thereabouts, and Is minutes
later, when Henry Twickenham had
been frozen out, Gladys Wilkins
clapped her soft white hands to her
temples and exclaimed:
al wish that fool and his Mundle
versus Binkham case were in Skag-
way"

The ZaneS Vile Incident.
N. Y. World.

Az "oitus
The worm when trodden upon will
turn, and the patient, long-sufering
American worm has finally turned on
his deadly oppressor, the politician
armed with his campaign speech.
1t was at GAINESVILLE, o., at the
Muskingum County Fair and Gen.
Grosvenor, the spokesman of the
Administration" and statesman who
can and does speak in Congress, and
who can and does fill pages of the
Congressional Record with speeches
spoken and unspoken, was OH hand to
divert the bucolic happiness of the
county fair to his political uses. Bnt
the people would have none of him.
For once the meek American arose
against the naughty oppressor and
hustled him away in ignominy.
Such an incident is full of hope for
better future. If we can keep poli.
tics out OF our county fairs we may
succeed in keeping politics out OF
school matters and city governments
and army management and other
public departments where its influence
Is always pernicious one.
What a different story We should
have had to tell of the treatment OF
our soldiers if we had kept politics out
OF the war as successfully rs the peo.
pie at GAINESVILLE kept it out of the
county fair.

NOT A SINGLE CHEER"
y. Y. Word.

On Wednesday Mr.. Mckinley visited
his home town. There MIR. Mckinley
had reason to expect triumphant
welcome. lie had always received it
when he returned there as Governor
and us President. And how he was
coming with the added prestige of
having been ut the head OF the nation
Ill war in which our arms had been
crowned with the most splendid sue
cess.
The Worlds special correspondent
sent with his tour gives this account
OF the reception:
In the crowd of two hundred of his
own towns-people who were at the
Valley road station when be arrived in
his special car from Cleveland there was
not single cheer and no demonstra-
ton OF any kind whatever
Only thin row of people lined the
scorching streets, and they were SEEM
ingly too exhausted to make any demon
stration.
We have had several unpopular
Presidents, beginning with John Adams
and including Mr.. McKinley's pre-
decessor. But never before was a
President thus received by his fellow
townsmen.
Not II single cheer" for n war
President. No demonstration of any
kind whatever" for the representative
man OF triumphant nation. Only
two hundred people at the station and
a thin line along the streets when the
Commanderin Chief OF our victorious
army and navy was to be greeted.
Why?
The Worlds correspondent explains:
For several days past soldiers Of the
Eighth Ohio, from Santiago via Montauk,
have been arriving in small squads and
slngly or nearly every train from the
East. Two hundred of that regiment,
sometimes called "The Presidents
Own," went from this immediate
vicinity.
The pest camps. The murder of
our soldiers within the borders of their
own country. The heartless political
juggling with the best men of the ma
ton. The ruin Of our magnificent
volunteer army. All the infamy of
blundering and brutality that is
summed up in the popular mind in
the one word
Algerism!
No Mr.. Mckinley, it will not "fade
with time" All the whitewash in
the word will not cover it over or
make it whit less dark. There will
be no reaction"
What you saw in the faces of your
silent fellow-townsmen is in the faces
OF all your fellow-countrymen.

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when rid.
ing his wheel, set his wits to work to
devise something which would be an
eflicacious, and yet comparatively
harmless means OF defenses. As a re-
suit he has brought out and patented
a pocket pistol which will shoot am
monia, water or other liquid. The
most vicious dog cannot withstand q
few drops of ammonia in his mouth
or eyes, and yet there is no danger OF
actually injuring a valuable animal
which might playfully annoy a rider.
The weapon has proven so much of
n success as means of defense as we'll
as fun-making, that the lucky inventor
is realizing much money from his de.
vice.
