Millions Of Bushels Of Goal Are In Danger Owing
 To Rapid Rise
STORM IS VERY SEVERE
 IN EASTERN KENTUCKY
Tributary Rivers Have Been Pouring Their Floodwaters Into the Ohio Many Hours and Great
 Damage Results.

Cincinnati, February 24.-Follow1ng rains in many places like cloudbursts, the Ohio river at this point passed the flood stage of 50 feet this afternoon. Nearly all points up and down the river and on the larger tributaries also reported flood conditions present or threatened. So rapidly did the river rise that many inexperienced river men were almost caught mapping, the 24- hour jump in stage having been at the rate of half a foot an hour, and con- tinuing at the rate of over an inch an hour.
 Coal men worked all night to pro- tect barges containing 10000, ,000 bushel of coal, now in harbor here, the high wind and the rough water making their labors particularly diff fcult. Other interests along the river front were equally active. The rail- roads are still in normal condition in this city, but the official prediction of at least 55 feet by tomorrow, fore casts the abandonment of the Grand Genital station, which is threatened by, & 53Lfoot stage and made inaccessible Tor traffic at o5 rect.
 In the lowlands. second stories were sought by many when others aban- doned their homes entirely for greater safety elsewhere. Reports from the up- river cities were to the same effect. At Parkersburg the official prediction Is for at least two feet above flood stage, and already the flats have been abandoned Similar reports come from Portsmouth. Ironton, Galliopolis and other places.
 The Muskingum, Kanawha, Scioto, Big Sandy and Big and Little Miami, and Licking rivers are away above flood stage, and have been pouring their floods into the already swollen Ohio, carrying away logs, fiat boats and whatever else happened to be loose along the banks. Wrecked coal barges passed here today from points above Thousands of logs torn from their moorngs on the Licking river almost created panic when they swept into the Ohio at this point. coal and other barges narrowly escaping serious damage The greatest loss will be in terference with transportation, delay to the malls and compusory abandonment of all business along the river front
 Traction lines will also suffer, espe- cially those running along the river below and above the city.
 The storm was severe all over east ern Kentucky and & number of smaller settlements are partially under water, while much loose farm property was carried away
 Cooler weather, with cessation of the heavy rains, will limit the extent of the flood and to this change river and transportation interests look for protection.

THE NEED OF A SPECIALIST.

1t is an undisputed fact that in
every community there are many
cases of chronic diseases that are be-
yond the skill of regular practitioners,
not because our home physicians are
incompetent or unsuccessful, but be-
cause their time is wholly occupied
attending to acute cases. That is the
reason why DIR. Turbin visits our
city. He has devoted years of time
to the treatment o these particular
specialties. He has treated thou
sands of cases in Wisconsin, and by
his unfailing success has established a
reputation unequalled by any special
ist in the state. His fame is world
wide and he is known for the many
cures he has made, where Others
failed. T.
Don't put on seeing the doctor, as
it costs nothing to consult him, and
get positive and candid description
of your disease, and learn the chance
of a cure. You may rest assured OF
honorable treatment and positive re-
lief if the doctor accepts your case
for treatment.
a His next visit TO our city will be
Wednesday, June 30th, at the Bells
Hotel.

tured robbers who held up and robbed
the German American bank of Merrill
a few weeks ago, was brought to this
city Friday evening for sentence. At
the preliminary examination held a

the two men who escaped, A few
days after the examination Krigiboes
expressed desire to plead guilty and
arrangements were made with Judge
Reid to open court Friday evening

charge of the Lincoln county sheriff

term of twelve years imprisonment in
the state prison in Waupun. He was

ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
A Campaign to Be Inaugurated in Wau-
sau This Season.

The city health physician, DIR. ID.
Sauerhering has received 1000 charts
which illustrate the various methods
OF spreading consumption and other
information relative TO the disease.
The city council, at recent session,
appropriated 800 for the purchase OF
the charts. They win be mailed into
every home in the city. 1t is quite
likely that an active campaign against
tuberculosis will be made in the city
from now on.
Few, outside the realm of news
paper mans work, and those practic-
ing medicine, realize how many
people die of this disease in the city
of Wausau alone in single year. As
the population increases it appears
that the ratio of deaths from consump-
tion increase. One of the principal
reasons perhaps is the present mode
of living.
From July l9 to 26 the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis association win
have an exhibit in Wausau, probably
in the court house. During the win
ter, Red Cross stamps were sold in all
the large cities of the state, (Wausau
being among the number) for the
purpose of paying the expense OF send
ing this exhibit out on the road.
The exhibit is spoken of in the most
fiattering terms by the newspapers
in the cities in which it has been
shown. 1t is in charge of w.
o. Gloyer and Hafye Dee Brown.
The latter gives lectures in every
town visited before the meetings,
schools or anywhere he is invited to
talk. Mr.. Brown was candidate for
governor at the last presidential cleo
tion and is speaker of ability. While
in the city the two gentlemen men
toned will interest'local speakers and
every meeting will be full of interest.
They will also aim to form a local
society, having as its object fight
against the spread of tuberculosis.
The Wisconsin association is afffliat-
ed with the Red Cross society, which
is making world wide fight against
the disease.
The PILOT is in possession of facts
and figures regarding the death ratio
from consumption which will be pre-
sented to its readers from time to
time up to the week the exhibit is
shown here.
These figures and facts will startle
the average reader. When the aver
age person becomes acquainted with
the fact that seventy-fve per cent of
consumptige cases can be cured if
handled properly, then the people
will wake up 10 their obligation TO
society-for it is an obligation they
owe.

DIR. MONROE IMPROVING.

We visited DR.. Monroe in his tent
at the McNutt home last Sunday
afternoon, and were much surprised
after the reports received, TO learn
that he was improving. We visited
with him about an hour, and when
We left he said, "You may tell the
people in the paper, that | am going
TO get we'll" We assured him most
honestly that nothing would give us
greater pleasure. We have kept tab
ON the doctor during the week, and
We are indeed pleased 10 state that he
has steadily improved and has not
only been able TO leave his bed, but
has been walking about, and we hope
he may be able TO make good his
word.-Merrill Star.

MUST REPAIR SIDEWALKS.

In Milwaukee cement sidewalk
builders have TO be provided with
permit in order to lay walks, etc.
Their work must be good or they are
not furnished with permit The
Milwaukee Sentinel says:
Sidewalk contractors in Milwaukee,
will be compelled to repair all cement
walks constructed by them during the
past two years before they viii be
granted new licenses TO engage In the
work or street improvements during
1909.
A. G.. Grundman, commissioner of
public works, on Monday, issued
orders to all ward foremen TO prepare
lists of walks constructed during the
past two years, and TO indicate each
instance where there Is defect 50
that contractors can be checked up.
These repairs on defective walks
throughout the entire city will likely
amount TO considerable, and In some
Instances an expense will devolve upon
street contractors aggregating thous-
ands of dollars.
