At Present There will Not be More

NO GREAT DAMAGE DONE YET

The river will probably not go to
40 feet here. II is fully expected that
by morning 1t will be stationary, if
not falling. The rise since yesterday
has been slow and only about half a
foot. The indications point to speedy
relief. Steamboat men are elated over
%he prospects. They hope to see the
rivers within their banks within COM
paratively a short time.
At Metropolis factory or two has
had to shut down, and at Golconda the
water is nearly to the top Of the
streets, but the danger is believed TO
be over.
There is no fear at Sha wneetown,
and thus far what loss there has been

No buildings in the town have ye

The tie people have lost many ties

GRAIN STORED.
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CARs
AT CHICAGO.

Chicago, March 19-Fully 5, 900. 600
bushels Of grain are stored in Chicago
awaiting transportation to the East.
The eastbound trains, however, are
totally unable TO provide cars for the
grain movement, and are giving no
promises as TO the time when sufficient
cars can be had. Western roads have
nearly all ordered their traffic men
not TO solicit nor accept grain for
movement to Chicago until further
notice, ana the condition promises to
become worse before it is better. The
condition was illustrated yesterday,
when the Lake Shore officials prom.
ised to send Armour & Co. twonty.
five cars to be loaded with grain, and
found that the best they could do was
twelve cars.
II is estimated that the railroads
centering in Chicago could make i'm.
mediate use Of at least so, 900 more cars.
The grain condition is but a sample Of
the general conditions which exist
with respect TO other kinds Of traffic.

ten miles per second. Want Of knowledge
OF the distances Of the stars, even at the
present time, has made the estimates
assigned by our investigators partake
more or less OF the nature OF guesses. and
their values range all the way from i've
to thirty miles per second
The invocation Of the spectroscope helped
IN the work OF solving the problem by its
ability to measure velocitiee OF recession
and approach. Mr.. Campbell in 1905 began
work with a Photographic spectroecope,
or spectograph. as II is called. that Was
presented to tho Lick Observatory by
Darius o. Mills of New York.
With this instrument attached TO the
greet telescope, and with the assistance
Of W. H. Wright and DR.. II. NJ Reeee, the
Lick Observatory director has already
measured the line-of-sight velccities OF
about four hundred Of the brighter stars.
A combination of the results showed that
the solar system was moving approxt-
mately toward the southern part Of the
constellation Of the Tyre with q speed OF
twelve and half miles a second.

very few stars previously determined.
Sir William Hernchel moro than a century
ago was led 10 the shrewd guess that the
solar system is moving In a straight Ii ne
toward a point within the constellation
Hercules. A the number and accuracy OF
observations made within the meridian cir
Gle increased from decade to decade. other
solutions were attempted.
One astronomer. Stumpe. recently COM
bined the observed proper motions Of
5000 STAN for this purpose. The results
obtained by Boss, Stumpe, Kapteyn, New
comb and othen CONFIRM In a general way
the correctness Of HerSchel's opinion
Nevertheless, their individual results vary
TO such an extent that an uncertainty OF
at least ten or fifteen degrees exists in the
assigned positions Of the apex.
