ditions Quite Serious.
Cincinnati, April 2S.--The Ohio river
has been stationary here and for some
distance below Cincinnati since 8
o'clock yesterday morning, when the
limit of 5a.65 feet was reached. Those
depending on the prediction Of the
limit not exceeding SIS feet have suf-
&fered, since the stage became almost
ten feet above the danger line. Local
Forecast Official Bassler said last
night:
b Il look for the river to remain sta
tionary until tomorrow morning. when
there may be a perceptible fall. +
think the flood will decline very slow
ly and that 1t will take six days be-
fore stage Of rs feet will be reached.
A reduction to so feet, the danger line
at Cincinnati, win not come before
Monday .si 4
Favorable weather Is reported
throughout the Ohio valley and relief
is confidently expected The conditions
on both sides of the river here are
quite serious. The Ludlow lagoon suf-
fered much damage. as well as the
Newport race track and other places
on the Kentucky side. On both sides
Of the river public storehouses have
been opened for the destitute by the
municipal authorities, but there Is no
call for public aid. Many sick have
been removed from Inundated houses
to hospitals. Relief committees have
been organized at many places above
Cincinnati. where there is distress.
1t is estimated that 500 residences
have been Inundated In the east end
of Cincinnati and more on the West
side along Mill creek valley These
do not include flooded districts along
the frontage Of the Ohio river, where
tenement houses, as well as business
interests suffered. On the Kentucky
side from Coyington through Newport,
Bellevue and Dayton, the situation is
equally distressing. Thousands are
out Of work here and UP the valley but
most Of them will resume Monday.

not BE Opened Until june 4.
A foot Of snow In Buffalo has de-
ayed work on the Minnesota building
at the Pan American exposition, and
1t Is probable that 1t will not be ready
for use until June i, month after the
fair opens. The commissioners were
notified yesterday that with unfavora-
BILE weather nothing more can be done
for several days.
One days interruption of construc-
ton work now means q serious set
back. The contractors are working
day and night shifts, and through six
teen hours Of the day the building has
been steadily growing. Commissioners
Hall stated that the delay will not
cause difficulties in placing the ex-
hibits and that the Minnesota head
quarters will probably be open as soon
as those Of any other state, even
though the work has been hindered.
Supt. McMullen will leave for Buff
faIo in few days and will remain on
the grounds during the exposition. He
will have offices In the Minnesota
building when 1t Is completed.

soR MoRn THAN TWENTY TEARS


lH Is y I'd
SheriRs Have UmlS,iowingly Violated
the statutes. N N
Attorney General Douglas has been
called upon to decide rather peculiar
question, which brought to light the
fact that for twenty years or more the
statutes have been violated by every
sheriff in the state; not Intentionally,
but unknowingly.
County Attorney Maryland OF Albert
Lea wrote the attorney general asking
him to pass upon the question whether
the state or the county Is liable for ex-
penses incurred by an officer in going
to another state and bringing back
fugltives from Justice, and also the
amount Of fees an officer is entitled to
Tor bringing back prisoners,
After looking up the law the attorney
general decided that the statutes state
explicitly that such expenses shall be
borne by the state. not by the county
For the last decade the counties have
been in the habit Of footing such bills.
AS to the amount OF fees allowed the
officer for bringing back the prisoner
the attorney general holds that he Is
| not entitled to any mileage, but should
be allowed only his railroad fare and
reasonable expenses. s55 .lS5
Discussing the matter Attorney Gem
eral Douglas said that the legislature
has never appropriated sufficient
fund FOR the expenses OF such trips,
and that the counties generally fell
into the habit Of paying them. No re-
lief can be granted until the next legis-
lature meets, and the counties must
continue the custom or hold up the
bills pending the creation Of such a
fund.

The state timber board recently dis
cussed the disposition of number OF
stumpage drafts which are long over

settlement.
The trouble dates back to when Coy.

While he was in office several stump
age drafts were drawn and payment
refused because of alleged errors In
them. The sum involved does not ex-
coed $4,000. but something like $4,000
hangs in the balance pending the set
