GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT
Messages Flood in From All
Over the State.
WILL MAKE DECLARATION.

Rushville, Ind, July 11.-For the
past few days the large library table
in Congressman Watson's private Of
flee has been literally covered with
missives of most flattering nature
and every incoming mail adds to the
already great accumulation of letters,
All tell the same story and they
come from every nook and point in the
state, and some from outside the state.
They are letters declaring that Watson
is the logical candidate for governor Of
Indiana and many are the earnest re-
quests that he agree to be candidate.
When the proper time comes, Repre-
ser tative Watson will commit himself
publicly on the gubernatorial question
and in the meantime, the publicity CIV
en- his boom will in no wise injure his
political future, no matter what lis
plans may be.

NO WORD IS RECEIVED
REGARDING THE GRADES
Postmaster Spekenhier Makes
Some Inquiry.
APPLICANTS ARE CURIOUS.

Postmaster Spekenhier has written
the postal department in reference to
the grades on the civil service exami-
nation papers prepared in Richmond
some time ago. The rural route ex-
animation was taken by local appli-
cants to the service April Is, while
the clerks and carriers examinations
were taken May %. Nothing has been
heard from either locally. Postmast-
er Spekenhier attributes the delay to
the fact that the clerks in the depart
ment offices are now taking their va
cations and are therefore not able TO
keep up with the vast amount of work
at least at the present time.

More Than Three Inches Fen
In TWenty-one Hours on
Wednesday.
STREAMS WERE ON BOOM.
MUCH DAMAGE is REPORTED
FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS
LIGHTNING ALSO DID SOME
DAMAGE IN THE CITY.

Not in months has the rainfall rec.
ord been as great as it was between
one thirty o'clock Wednesday after
noon and ten o'clock this morning.
During the twenty and one-half hours,
three and forty-eight hundredths inch
es of rain fell. One and fifty-eight
hundredths was the record for fifty
minutes Wednesday afternoon. The
rain, however was welcomed by
many of the farmers as IL did the crops
untold good.
The streams surrounding Richmond
are booming. Wednesday the east fork I
of the Whitewater river was on a RAM.
page and debris of all kinds was float-l
ing down. Joseph White. farmer re-
siding about one and one-half miles
east of the pumping station, suffered
the loss of many shocks of wheat. in
addition to having portions OF his fenc-
es washed down the stream along with
everything else that happened to bel
loose in the fields near the river The :
branch of the river running through
Richmond has been rapidly rising
since Wednesday night and in places
is out of its banks. The residents OF,
Happy Hollow, that secluded nook ly-
ing directly in the river bottoms near
the Gaar-Scott factories, were expect
ing any moment last night to have to
"vamoose" to higher lands, but the
river has only left its banks In spots
i'm that locality. The waters are In a.
turmoil however and are carrying
down the stream debris of all kinds.
1t is thought there will be no serious
danger In this portion unless the rains
continue for several hours.
The electrical display in connection
with the rainfall Wednesday afternoon
was brilliant. The lightning struck in
several localities but the only damage
reported is that at the home Of John
Coppock, 511 North Sixteenth street..
where the lightning struck the roof.
scattering the shingles and tearing n
portion of the roof off the house. Moth

those In the house were shocked. while
the effects Of the lightning were felt
for a few hundred feet around
Lightning also played its queer an
tics with electric public service COM
panies in Richmond. Several tele-
phones OF both companies were disa-
bled while the electric light and pow
er lines were out of service for short
time.
