inches has fallen since Sunday. White
river, Big Eagle and Fall creek are out
of their banks, and many families have

GAINESVILLE, Ohio. March 23.-Slnce
midnight Muskingum and Licking riv-

ward and part of four other wards are
submerged. Four thousand people have
been driven from their homes and very
few of them have saved any of their
household effects. The current of Lick

half mile and is washing out everything
in il path. There have been a score Of
hairbreadth escapes and more than so
persons are missing. The supply of

the people and il will take all night to
get them on dry land. The number of
lives lost here is a matter of conjecture.
The only bodies so far recovered are
those of Mrs. Chauch and John Leach.

Cincannati. March 23.-The Ohio river
is swollen by a peculiar and remark
able flood, peculiar that while the stage
of water Is phenomenal from Wheel
ing to Cairo, no tributary on the left
bank of the river makes the slightest
contribution to the freshet. Added to
an unusually high stage of water at
Pittsburg. there have been freshets and
floods throughout Ohio and Indiana,
and torrents are pouring into the Ohio
from the north. Throughout Indiana,
Ohio and western Pennsylvania there
has been an almost steady downpour
of rains since last Saturday. Nearly all
the railroads in central and southern
Ohio are either crippled or totally DIS
abled owing to the washouts and weak
ened bridges. Throughout Indiana,
except. perhaps, in the extreme north
ern parts, railroad traffic is demoral-
ICED.
In Cincinnati the stage of the river at
O'Clock was AZ feet inches. and the
flood was rising at the rate of three
inches an hour. Rain is still falling.

War Book.

In our advertising columns will be
found an announcement of Ex-senator
John j. ingalls, forthcoming book, en-
titled "America's War for Humanity"
Canvassing agents will find in it book
OF remarkable interest, and certainly of
extraordinary stability. The history
of the war is told in picture and story,
and in a way that always characterizes
the brilliant pen of Senator Ingalls,. Ia
narrating the incidents Of this war he
finds grand scope for his superb descrip-
tive and analytical powers. The theme
is worthy of the author, and the author
is worthy of the theme. 1t is published
by N. d. Thompson Publishing Co., OF
st. Louis, Mo. 1t will be monumental
work that will not only be everywhere
read, but it will be monument to his
genius that will outive in history his
brilliant senatorial career. The sub
scription book trade and the canvassing
agent are fortunate in the fact that an
author of such rare ability has been en-.
listed in its interest.

Looking to the future, there is little
risk in predicting that when our war
with Spain shall have passed into the
realm of history it will be found that
we are only standing on the threshold
of new and better era in our political
and commercial development. The as
sumption OF our proper place among the
great powers of the world will take
away the taint of provincialism from
our politics and will prove a sovereign
cure for the mental and moral hypoc-
hondria which is one OF the weaknesses
OF our national character. The freedom
OF Cuba will be glorious object lesson
to other down-trodden millions OF men,
and the wonderful island that is soon
to echo to the tread of American armies
will afterward present one of the fairest
OF all possible fields to American mer-
chants. In few years we may expect
to have always ready fleet and an
army with which to hold our own
against all comers. We shall win our
selfrrespect by making other nations re-
spect us, and we may be sure that the
flags of our merchant marine will follow
the flags of our battleships to the utter
most ends Of the earth.-New Orleans
