Marietta, o., July ia flood that
has assumed the proportions of the
one in March holds this vicinity in
its grasp. The entire valley is under

lowing the cloudburst near GAINESVILLE.
A Pennsylvania passenger train
which left this city was marooned at
Stanleyville, seven miles from Mari
eta, on Duck creek. The waters rose
at an alarming rate, and it was neces-
sary to remove the % passengers by
cutting holes in the roofs of the cars
They we're forced to walk back to
this city. A small boat was used to
carry the passengers from the train
to high land. When the party left

GAINESVILLE, o., July 15.-Repetition
of the spring foods was feared by the
people of this city when the rains de.
veloped into a cloudburst and the
rainfall was 6.45 inches, less than half
an inch below the rainfall which
caused the March food. More than
20 bridges in the county, chiefly small
structures across creeks, were wash.

those of the farmers, were estimated
from 100000 to 100000

within a period of eight hours, but
the waters are now receding rapidly.
Thousands Of acres in the lowlands
of the county were under water, while
in the city perhaps 80 houses were in
undated to a depth Of several feet.
Sixty GAINESVILLE people were ma.
rooned by the storm while returning
from Buckeye Lake on the Ohio Elec-
trio traction. The car was stopped
by washed-out bridge nearly a mile
from the Black Hand tunnel, and the
crowds had to walk to it in a drench-
ing rain, SO they passed the night in
wet garments and were without food
for about 20 hours.
Railroad traffice was demoralized
for many hours.

THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE.
Tuberculosis Is Not Hereditary.

1t was very natural that in the
dark days of tuberculosis, as we
might call the time before the dis
covery of the true cause, one should
explain the frequent occurrence of
several cases of the disease in the
same family when one member after
another died from it, as heredity.
With Koch's discovery of the fact
that tuberculosis was an infectious or
communicable disease caused by a
germ, all was made clear and the in
heritance theory broke down.
What was ignorantly regarded as
Inheritance was simply infection.

conversed briefly with the young lady
Then there was a swift, undertoned
marriage ceremony. The clergyman
filled out two blank certificates.
Doris Mayfeld." A sweet, simple
name, wholesome as the fair face of
its owner! She whispered few last
words to Leslie: go back to your
land. You will hearAfrom me-" Then
her escort returned. They left the
train together at the next station.
One week later Leslie returned to
his land. He had tired of the city, the
lure of the wilderness was too strong
spell to resist The town banker
met him.
81 hope you have come back to
stay" he said. I'VE need such men
as you. Then, too, it is all arranged
for you"
About what?" queationed the mysti-
fed Leslie.
Your land A confidential client
has forwarded the bank several thou
sand dollars to protect the mortgage
and cover new improvements
But 1 cannot accept money under
such conditions" began Leslie.
"Our client probably anticipated
your independent spirit" smiled the
banker. THE money is simply a
guarantee, and you can have ten years
to pay Off the mortgage if you wish
it, and we will advance you whatever
funds you need to rebuild. No danger
of your not soon cleaning it up"
1t was a month later when, one
morning, Leslie stood surveying the
new habitation. A veritable wood
nymph seemed to come forth from the
greenery lining the town road. 1t
was-his wife
She came forward to greet him with
humid eyes of gratitude, In free, fear
less womanhood. He could tell from
her restful face that her great trouble
had passed by.
81 have come" she said simply
ito explain"
He led her to rustic bench Her
eyes sparkled, her cheeks were like
shaded velvet in the gentle, health
giving breeze.
Then she told him briefly. She was
an heiress. Two worthless brothers
had become involved in forgery. A
scheming lawyer had threatened dis
grace if she did not wed a client, a
man she despised She was ready
to make the sacrifice when the train
episode occurred. Later her produc-
tion of the marriage certificate had
baffied the plotters. A sum of money
had secured immunity for her grace
less relatives, whom she had sent to
new country.
She looked down when she had con-
cluded. She filled his vision with
new glory. Then she said:
'I have come to tell you that have
arranged to have the marriage an
nulled, and to beg of you to allow me
to share my fortune with you" Then
she burst forth, stretching her hands
across the peaceful scene before her
"Ah, what rest, what beauty, all this!
1t is nearly heaven"
She resembled some wearied
traveller gone through turbulent ex-
perience. Her very soul seemed to
plead for peace after storm.
"A lonely home" spoke Leslie ire
sistibly. 1T will be doubly so when
you leave. You cherish its peace and
quiet Then-could you share it, with
me and-love?"
Afar a lowing herd droned forth
musically, mingled with mellow tintina-
bulations.
She leaned towards him, both
hands extended, sob in her voice,
but joyful, serene.
Listen" she said simply-"our we'd
ding bells!"

Attorney General McReynolds. Such
plans for the voluntary Reorganization
Of the New Haven as its directors
have been able to make were laid be-
fore the attorney general, T. w. Greg
Dry and Jesse c. Adkins. the assist
ants. who investigated the railroad
with q view to prosecuting 1t under
the antitrust act.
Unless the proposals made by Mr..
Elliott are looked upon as sufficient to
insure reorganization meeting
the approval Of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds, negotiations probably will
be abandoned and the department will
act on the recommendations of its in-
vestigators.
The department had no comment to
make on I'M. Elliott's visit but Nc
Reynolds announced weeks ago that
he had no desire to rush into court to
accomplish q reorganization of the
system II its management could con-
vince him that such an end could be
brought about by voluntary action.
