The rains of the past forty-eight
hours, though very light in this vi
cinity, were very heavy in the region
about headwaters and have completely
changed the aspect Of affairs along the
river. At midnight there were rs feet
Q inches here and rising. The guage
at Davis Island dam recorded IL feet
inches and rising. Rivermen think
that the extreme stage here will be
twenty-eight or thirty feet, but no cor
rect estimate can be made as the Beav-
er river is on rampage and is full,
pouring it's accumulations into the
Ohio. The weather bureau has issued
bulletins notifying the residents Of the
low districts to take the proper pre-
cautions.
With such river as the present no
coal can be shipped down the Ohio.
Yesterday afternoon the river be-
came stationary at "a feet Z inches and

there was 171a feet of water at Davis

Like the rivermen, they do not place
much faith in the weather bureau, and
are not taking chances. Boat owners
have made everything secure. Some
of them fear food. With the high

liable to reach a flood height. The
Beaver is on rampage and all trlb-
utary streams to the Ohio are putting
out large quantities of water. At mid
night it was raining Should the rain
continue all night, people living on
the lowlands in and about Wheeling
had better take precautions.

sirous that Bryan should be

should think that if the intelli-

being a democrat, that there
would be rejoicing over it in
