There Is no doubt about flood
coming but how high 1t will be we
cannot exactly estimate at this
time. According to the Wheeling
reports they expect forty two feet
which Is 2 feet and q inches lower
than, the food we had In January
last. Still, with AZ feet at Wheel
ing we may have as high water as
we he'd In January as all the side
streams have run out and the river
is rising at all points below which
was not the case when we had the
food here In January. IT the riv-
er acts as 1t did In January the
river here will be from to 5 feet
lower than 1t was In January last
which Is high enough. In January
we had FL inches In the Oh Review
Office so at the same ratio this time
we will just escape being flooded
out or at best we will probably on,
ly have 2 or 3 inches of water on
our Office a ,or which will not hurt
as any at all only make Us scrub
out again.
A Record Breaker
The oldest residents of the valley
are agreed In saying that never
in their recollection of foods, has
there been two great and dangerous
floods such as those of 1904, com :
tug so close together or ever In one
year. The cold wave may have
something to do with checking the
rise, but 1t Is believed that the stage
at Wheeling will be at least 42 feet
and the crest will be reached about
Saturday noon at that city and
Sunday morning here. The Allie
gheny which has been running ou'
full of Ice for the past twenty four
hours, did yot reach here yesterday
and the Beaver river has contriout
ed maiuly to the present rise. 1t 1:
believed that both those rivers will
have spent their larger proportions
of water before the Monongahels
water reaches here, that river hav
Ing started to run out last night.
If its full volume of water reaches
Pittsburg before the Allegheny be
comes stationary,'then there will be
danger of q greater food than that
of January 24th.
At Wellsville, from 200 to 25c
houses were inundated by food
In the west end.
The people along the Ohio Val
ley were treated to a very uuwel.
come surprise early yesterday
morning, when the news spread
like wild FIRE that another food,
worse than the one In January,
wher stage of "a feet and 2 inches
was reached, would soon be surg
Ing down the valley. Later re
ports during Wednesday night and
Thursday morning, stated that the
rain had fallen heavily at Pittsburg
and on the Monongahelia and
Allegheny and their tributaries, but

FLOOD NEWS

In view of the fact that the river
here had just reached a stage OF
26 feet 10 in. 1t was not believed
that any great fool was imminent
However, the food Is coming,
and at a very inopportuue time,
when many families have made
reparatious to settle In their houses
for the spring, and had no thoughts
of the te. rlble hardships of another
q ,od.
Prof. Vose, the weather man at
Parkersburg sends The Review a
telegram at noon today In which
he states "Flood will 60 about two
feet lower than 1t was last January.
Notify your people,"
This telegram confirms the re
port from Wheeling that there will
be about a. feet in that city. This
amount of water will not get Into
the OH Review Office and will do
bat very little damage to any of our
people. Quite a number on the
low lind will have to move ont but
with the promise of warmer wealth
er the food will not be a hard one
to 60 through with.
At noon today the water was up
over Water street. 1t came over
the street as usual at the foot OF
Catherine and Charles street and
then met on Water street about
midway.
The river was falling at Davis
Island dam at noon today. The
river reached a depth of IS feet and
s inches which was a little below
the estimated depth of the rise pre-
dicted last night. In other words,
the river did not reach the heighth
predicted by nearly one foot at
the headwaters.
The river will continue to rise
uutil tomorrow sometime. We
feel sure the prediction that We will
have two feet less water here than
we had last January Is as near the
mark as any one can guess at this
time. The chances are 1t may be
less bat 1t may be little more bu,
lit will not miss that mark very far,
1t Is the quickest and most TN
expected fl bod evel known In the
Ohio Valley. Around Pi'tsbure
and many other towns Mp 4ue river
thousands of dollars worth of pro
perty has been destroyed.
The rise we have here today Is
from the Beaver river and by eve
ming the rise out of the Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers will be
here. According to the rule the
river rises here from II 10 "a hours
after 1t stops rising at Wheeling,
While the food will inconvenl-
ence many, the people of Sisters,
Vile can be thankful we are located
so high. But few houses will be
inundated and these only a few
inches. No property will float away
nor be injured but very little: no
one will suffer and compared with
other towns we ought to be happy
and thankful.

Tendency Toward Conservatism.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
The Saturday Evening Post of last
week, published in Philadelphia, that
stronghold of Northern sentiment,
has this to say for the South under
the title "The South S Largest Gain"
For decade remarkable change has
been going on in the South. The mani
festations have been local, but the results
bear the semblance of a great movement
After the war the South had almost as
many drinking places as it had stores
Today more than one-half of the counties
below Mason and DixOn's line prohibit
the sale of liquor.
The whole trend of the South is to ward
wise and safe conservatism, and the evo-
luton of the Southern personality is pro-
ducing broad minded Americans who live
clean lives and do good work.
1T follows as a most hopeful fact that
in the consideration of the race question
which fingers long after the abolition of
human slavery, the work of Cancellation
and adjustment will be done by men of
temperate habits and temperate minds. ;"
True words these, fifty spoken The
North is just beginning to realize
that the South is, after all, the most
conservative part of this Union.
The Southern man who has grown
to manhood under the post bellum
conditions, has probably less use for
and less patience with liquor than
any other class of American citizens.
1t is pleasure to hear such words
of praise for the men of the South: it
has always been our opinion that
they should be recognized as the best
type OF Americans. But perhaps
there Is some partiality in this
opinion.
