There Is no danger of a flood
stage (40 feet) at Paducah.
This announcement was made to-
day by Saunders A. Fowler. in
charge OF the government records at
the Paducah office.
According to Mr. Fowler there
has been no rainfall in the upper
Tennessee and Cumberland valleys
and no rain at Pittsburgh. The pre-
cipitation seems to be confined from
Cincinnati to Cairo and up the
Wabash and White river valleys.
The continuous rainfall here for
the past three days is unprecedented
Five inches were recorded from Z
O'Clock Wednesday morning to 7
o'clock this morning. making the
total precipitation for three days,
$50. II has been raining almost
steadily today but the volume has
decreased to a great extent So far
the total rainfall up to this after
moon is between 3 and IL inches.
Never in the history of Paducah has
this amount fallen at one time.
IL was almost an unprecedented
rise in the Ohio at Paducah yester-
day and last night Yesterday morn
ing at Z O'Clock the government
gauge at the foot of Broadway
marked SO feet and this morning
the gauge showed 1872 feet of water.
ia rise of 6.3 feet in "a hours. The
river will continue rising here but
will not reach a higher stage than
from 16 to Is feet. This is assured.
The stages of the wharfboat were
nearly submerged early this morn
ing. but the wharfboat was pulled
closer to shore before noon without
any damage being done. During the
|high wind over the local harbor last
night the towboat Chancey Lamb
and packetboat Electra, moored at
the foot of Monroe street, were
blown out into the river but we're
soon caught and taken back, where
they were made fast with heavier
lines. The two sand diggers and
outfits owned by the Ohio River
Sand & Gravel company and Thomp-
son & Etter, were lying a good dis
tance OF shore this morning. caused
by the big rise. They were not
damaged.
There is no occasion for alarm,
according to Mr. Fowler. as only sew
Ieral weeks of rainfall would cause
a flood stage.

FEW DEMOCRATS
FOR PROTECTION
Bryan's Paper SO Declares in
Editorial Criticising Texas
Conventions Action.

LINCOLN, NEB.. August 1s.--Sen-
ator Bailey's nomination of the demo
cratic State convention and the adop-
ton Of platform which. William J.
Bryan says declares for protection are
severely criticised in this weeks issue
OF Bryan's newspaper. which says:
1T remains TO be seen how many
of the Texas democrats really favor
protection, but IL they favor IL now,
they viii not do so long, for they will
not only find themselves out of har-
mony with the democracy Of the ma
ton, but they will find that those
democrats who try to carry out the
Texas doctrine will be kept so busy
trying to retain protection for a few
gheep-growers and lumber men. that
they will not have time to do any
work In behalf of reductiono on manu-
featured products, Those who want a
tariff on wool Will. OF necessity. be
driven TO act with those who want
tariff on woollen goods.
1T is unfortunate for the party that
just as the insurgents are entering
upon "a fight against Aldrichism in the
republican party an attempt should
be made TO commit the democratic
party TO the doctrine of protection.
