weather has been clear with the mercury

Z o'clock tonight, when the water began
to rise slowly. At Q o'clock it had reached
so feet and inches, and was still rising
slowly. Perfectly trustworthy advices re-

They show the river falling from above
Wheeling all the way down to Portsmouth.
From Portsmouth to Cairo it is rising slow
ly. The Great Kanawha poured out COM
paratively little water. From the Big Sandy
down to the mouth of the Ohio the southern
affiuents contributed big floods. They are all
falling down to the Kentucky river and in
Guiding that stream. All the freshets from
tributaries on the north side of the river
were less serious than first reports repre-
scented. It Is not probable that the stage
here will much exceed 81 feet. Moreover,
If there should be no rainfall in the mean
time the high water here and below will
run out before the flood accommodating at
Pittsburg comes down.

NOT A FATALITY
Curious Law That seems to Follow
some Persons, Believed to Be
DfvertibIes

It has frequently been observed that when
a married couple arrive at the point where
they have furnished nice home and after
some years of work and economy are just
ready to enjoy life, one or perhaps both
find that disease of some sort has made it's
appearance and sadly marred the happy
picture.
A little care in the selection of food. dur
ing the time one is well and strong will pre-
vent the encroachment of disease. whereas
a continuance in the use of improper food
and drink is sure to build in disease sooner
or later, and by some curious law the de-
mon shows himself just when we are on
the point OF accomplishing some long cher
ished plan.
But poor Judgment for disease can be
found in the. properly fed and nourished
man or woman.
