WATERS FALLING IN OHIO.
Crest of the Flood at Canton Reached
Situation at Celina.

CANTON. Ohio, April 1.-The crest of

Damage Estimated at $4,000.
The county commissioners of Mercer

bridges and highways along Beaver creek

There Is strong probability that unless
the wind goes down the bank will give way

jacent country will be flooded with water
six to eight feet deep and cause great de-

Danger Increases at Celina.
ST. MARY'S Ohio, April 2.-Great alarm
was caused here at noon by strong south
western gale that dashed the waters
against the eastern bank in its weakest
places. This leaves the water banks around
Celina secure. but it has seriously increased
the danger here since morning
Since the wind has risen the water has
broken through the banks at different
places but not In any uncomfortable man
ner in any one place. Every little leak or
overflow Is at once taken in charge by a
gang of men.
Every able-bodied man In this city and VI
cinity is today employed along the banks
OF the reservoir
While the waters are falling, the wind
Is rising and preparations have been made
for general alarm on a moments notice,
as this city would be overwhelmed by the
lake of 10000 acres In the event Of a
break. =
Break Would Be Disastrous.
It is es mated that bad break would
submerge the southern part of St. Mary's
by from eight to ten feet.
The lowest part OF South St Mary's il
already vacated. Word came here that the
water is ninety feet wide and seventeen
inches deep in the waste weir near Celina.
While that is flooding the farm lands and
washing out the railways 1t Is relieving
the situation some along the eastern banks

ceasing Of the wind win relieve the situa-

Newspaper readers will remem-
Der the question recently appear
ing in the newspapers of the coun-
try in regard to the age of a per-
son known as Ann, and this ques-
ton seems destined to play a more
or less conspicuous part in the
fortunes of Kansas school teach
er. According to the New York
Tribune, "this teacher is on pro-
baton and in grave danger OF
losing his situation, because he
insists that Ann is eighteen years
old and the trustees know better.
The teacher gave the problem to
the pupils and demonstrated
clearly by algebra and plain arith-
metic that Ann must be eighteen.
The children took the problem
home and one of the trustees dis
covered that Ann was twelve
couldn't be anything else. He
called the other trustees in council
and convinced them of the cor
rectness of that conclusion. Like
wise, the school teacher was proved
to be, if not an idiot, an ignoramus,
unfit to teach anybody's children.
The trustees put the alternative OF
resignation before the teacher if he
could not reduce AIMS age by six
years. But the teacher refused to
change his figures, and appealed
to the county superintendent to
keep him in his position. There
the question hangs at present. The
teacher is stiff-necked and unac-
commodating. He should con-
slider the wise adaptability of the
pedagogue who said he had no
prejudice and would teach that the
earth was round or flat as the
school trustees preferred"

George Francis Train.

"He could call t5, 900 children by
name and they all loved him."
What greater epitaph could be
writtian over any man? What
more could he wish if he but knew
that over his grave would fall the
sorrowing tears of thousands of
little ones.
George Francis Train, one of the
most picturesque figures ever
known in American history, is
dead.
He died alone, deserted by his
friends and in comparative pow
erty. The man who had once spent
$4,000 week keeping up villa,
was living at the time of his death
on So a week.
The death of George Francis
Train will wake a flood of various
memories.
His erratic course in his own
country, his espousal of the cause
of foreign nation, his great
wealth, his stupendous enterprises,
any one of which might leave it's
weight behind and constitute the
subject of a fitting tribute to his
character, are as nothing to the
one fact that he was the friend of
children, and thatthey adored him.
His death will not be felt as an
affair OF national importance, for
he had ontlived his usefulness, and
very many young people reading
of his pitiful end, will ask who he
was and why he was famous.
And while there will be many,
many things to remember him by,
above all will stand out in great
letters of gold the legend "He was
the friend of children. ."-Kansas
