S.; rtling and unprecedented as
the word Is, there seems to be no
doubt about another food coming
down the Ohio river, just how
much water we will have cannot be
estimated now but 1t will be a
plenty. Heavy rain fell all day
Sunday and Sunday night In the
upper Allegheny and Mononghalia
rivers. 1t also rained through out
the Ohio Valley yesterday In a
slight way bat fairly poured down
last night. The rain however fell
heavier on the east than on the
west side of the Allegheny noun
talns which has flooded the rivers
east.
What makes 1t look so bad for a
food Is the fact we have a stage OF
Is feet at Pittsburg and rs feet at
Wheeling to start on which Is only
about S to 6 feet below the danger
line.
A dispatch from Plttsburg at
1870 this afternoon says the river
there Is Is feet and rising 4 inches
an hour. Ridgway says he cannot
tell until this evening what the
government estimate will be- as to
the heighth the waters will reach
at Pittsburg.
At the local wharf the river

The Queen City Is due to arrive

ST. MAkYs, w, Va. MARCH g.
W. J. Hilderbrant, an employe of
the Amity Oil company, was found
dead In the public read near which
he works on McKim creek, this
morning. He was an excessive
drinker, and his death Is thought
to have been due to heart failure
brought on by intoxication. No
marks of violence or evidences of
foul play were discernable. Squire
Brown went out late this afternoon
to the place where the body was
found, about six miles east of here,
and brought the remains to this
city where an Inquest will be held
tomorrow morning.
Was he Doped!

ANOTHER FLOOD

commenced to'rise here today at
the rate of inches an hour at
about II O'Clock this morning
Rivermen here predict higher
rise than the one we had last week.
So lar this Is ali sheer guess work.
All we know definite Is we have
had heavy rains at the headwaters
and this water Is now coming down
on TOP of river almost at present
at q food stage. Of this much we
are sure but we are not certain OF
ANYTHING more. We regret the
food coming but so far We can see
now there seems to be nothing to
stop apother food that may be ev.
en- higher than the one we had last
week. We are sure of being food'
ed but how deep 1t will be Is uncer'
tain.
We called up Capt. Crockard, at
the wharfboat at Wheeling at 8
o'clock this afternoon. We asked
him for the river news. He re-
piled they had 23 feet at Wheeling
and rising and raining. When
asked his opinion as to how much
of a rise we would have, he re-
piled: "Wait until 1t quits raining
and I will tell you. At this time I
do not know how much water we
will have nor does any one else.
We are going to have big flood In
all probability bat we will tell you
more about 1t tomorrow"

FOUND DEAD
ON THE ROAD

Many people here were heard to
express themselves xpon the streets
today, while In conversation with
reference to the sudden death of de.
ceased, that they were of the opin-
lon that the whiskey he drank had
been doped. They further stated
that the authorities of Peasants
county should investigate the
matter thoroughly. The cir
cumstances In connection with
his death looks very suspicious,
and certainly demands q careful In
vestigation. Hence ic Is up to the
authorities OF our neisnbor county
to do their duty. While 1t Is
wrong for any man to drink to ex'
cess, 1t Is far worse for saloon
keeper to sell doped or poisoned
whiskey to any individual. And
should 1t develop that Mr.. Hilder-
brant came to his death from
drinking an inferior q1altty of
liquor, the saloon.keeper that sold
him the poison should be given the
full extent of the law. The whiskey
Is said to have been purchased In
st. Marys, but there are other
towns just as guilty of the charge
of selling doped whiskey as St.
Marys.

That the President and his party lead
ers are sorely troubled concerning those
postal scandals, lest they be used to adj
vantage by the democrats for campaign
material in the coming Presidential con-
test this fall, is evident from the many
conferences which have been held over
them. To stir them up threatens dam
aging disclosures for the party in power,
but to treat them with silent contempt
might be worse, and in order to get out
of bad political dilemmait has been de-
termined to continue the Investigations
throughout the summer. This would
seem shrewd move on the part of the
Administration, as it will be an easy mat.
ter to prolong the investigation for any
length of time, even till after the cleo
ton, and by this apparent activity in
searching out the frauds, checkmate any
possible attempt of the opposing party to
use the scandal as campaign weapon.

Japanese Economists.

Japan showed as much intellectual acu-
men in the way she has handled the
money question as she has in the way she
has handled her warships. When she
found that the great commercial nations
with which her foreign trade must be
carried on were determined to change
their monetary systems and make an
attempt to establish the gold standard,
she reduced the purchasing power of her
gold coins one-half, instead of doubling
their value. as was attempted in the
United States. She had no 'panic in
'e3" and no commercial depression such
as we had in these states. There are
large banking institutions in Japan; she
has over 5000, 900 of people; she sells
her goods in every mart of trade in the
civilized world; her consuls are found in
every great port; she has an immense
home trade; she has railroads, steamships
and sailing vessels; large cities, great
farming population and all the tangled
and interviewer intricacies of modern
commercial life. But Japan never had a
commercial panic. She has maintained
the stability of the purchasing power Of
her money. She has not demonetized
silver or doubled the purchasing power OF
her gold. and by these wise policies she
is able TO put great army in the field
and great navy on the sea, without
contracting foreign debt. The econo
rnists have done more for Japan towards
making her invulnerable from foreign
attack and domestic disturbances thar
any other class Of her people, howeve,
great her admirals and generals may be
or whatever heights her other scientist:
may have gained. All hail to the Jap
anese economists !-Neb. Independent.

The first regular session of the Fifty
eighth Congress was brought to close
on Thursday of last week, according to
the schedule arranged by the leaders Of
the majority party. President Roosevelt
was also anxious for an early adjourn
ment on account of the approaching
Presidential campaign. And, too, owing
to this being campaign year the
majority party leaders in Congress have
been careful not to enact important leg
islation. Such subjects as the tariff and
currency have been carefully avoided for
fear of embarrassing the party in the COM
ing campaign, and only such necessary
measures as were approved by the man
ayers in both houses passed.
The session has been in accord with
that practice which has grown up of al
lowing legislation in Presidential election
years to be influenced by political con-
siderations, hence but little has been
accomplished except the expenditure of a
large amount of the peoples money
which is always looked for contingent
of Congress, and the adjournment is in
no way to be regretted, as all had been
done that was intended.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
the greatest of all expositions in size and
amount of wealth represented-opened at
St. Louis on Saturday afternoon, President
Roosevelt touching an electric button at
Washington which set the machinery in
motion. The Exposition, which COM.
memorates the purchase by President
Thomas Jefferson in 1903 of that i'm
mense area of land which at present en-
braces twelve states and two territories, is
the most stupendous affair of its kind
ever undertaken. Its approximate cost is
$50, 900, 600, and 1910 acres of lard are
devoted to this dream city of the twen-
tieth century.
