Water Mark Today;
People in Panic.

Cairo, ILL.,. April 4.-Rain falling n
a steady downpour and the flood waters
washing against the sacks of sand piled
on the concrete levee wall changed
conditions materially here last night.
Although the weather change naturally
would carry with IL a negative outlook
for the welfare of the city. confidence
seems to have sprung up among the
citizens who have worked hardest to
prevent Cairo.s destruction.
Day after day the residents have
watched the flood water. climb on the
gauge, measured by tenths OF a foot
until last night at dark it stood slight
ly above 54.s. The previous record was
k4.5
In spite of the climbing water there
could be found many persons today
who now believe the levee will stand
any strain, and IL trouble does come II
will be an overflow and not a break.
Only a few inches separate the surface
of the water and the top of the govern
ment gauge, which is IS feet Two
inches higher than this would bring

FLOOD HANDICAPS
STEEL INDUSTRY
Inability of Railroad to

New York, April 4.-The effects of |
the food on the iron market will re-
quire time for their full development.
The steel companies will not need more
pig iron because of 1t, since their steel
output Is reduced more than that of
their blast furnaces. The closing of
coke ovens, due to the inability of rail-
roads to make full coke shipments
may still limit the pig iron output in
some districts, counteracting some of
the weakness generally evident In that
product. So far as foundry iron Is
concerned the flood has apparently cut
down output more than 1t has reduced
the consumption.
If the week has been disastrous for
many producers of iron and steel it
has also greatly restricted business.
Apart from what the railroads are al
ready figuring on. the largest new
buying is in bars. Some implement
business has been closed. but the mills
limited deliveries to six months from
July rather than a year. Tinplate and
! sheet mills of the steel corporation are
! running to about 55 per cent of
! pacity this week as against only 40
per cent at one time last week
/ Flood Damages steel Mills.
! Pig iron markets in the central west
/ have been practically at a standstill for

Steel works output was reduced more
than that OF blast furnaces and a good
many finishing mills. particularly sheet
and tinplate' works, have suffered in
! consequence Jobbers' stocks have had
to do duty steadily for months and
! have not been rebuilt. The result is
embarrassment to many manufacturing
consumers
The same flood that has or will yet
cause loss of $50. 900 to 300 900 tons
in steel output brings down upon the
mills emergency calls that will only
add to the difficulties in deliveries. One

The barn hands made desperate

rescuing the animals used exclusively
for show purposes in preference to
those carried merely. for exhibition.
The show hands in charge OF the ele-

to lead the mammals to safety. They
chained them together and drove them
in a herd toward the hill which lay
beyond the circus farm. But the on
rushing water was too swift. Before
they had proceeded far. the torrent

They began to stampede. The men

HARRIS SURRENDERS.

James Harris, who made his
escape from jail at Owingsville,
where he was confined in de-
fault of $500 bail on the charge
of numbering young Thurman
Purgrim, returned quietly We'd
nesday night and surrendered
to Jailer Robert Duff. Mr.. Har-
ris, despairing of giving bail for
the present, took advantage OF
an opportunity and went home,
he says, in order to transact
some business that needed his
immediate attention. He said
he would have been back soon
er, but that he was continually
harassed by parties searching
for him to obtain the reward
of $500 offered by the governor
and $50 offered for his appre-
hension by the jailer. Mr.. Har-
ris could have possessed him
self of these rewards through
the medium of some friend, but
this he declined to do, as he
had written Mr.Duff, the jailer,
that he would return within a
stated time. Among other
things Mr.. Harris did was to
bulk down a considerable crop
of tobacco, doing the work him
self, so his five girls could strip
it and put it on the market.
Coming back to Jail he avoid
ed the roads and waded Slate
creek waist deep, the water be-
ing almost ice cold. This he did
in order to prevent the posi-
bility of being assisted by some
one to secure the reward. This
is the second instance in the
history of Bath county where a
man in custody for murder has
returned after escaping or be-
ing released. The other instance
was a man by the name of
Stephens in Jail for tine murder
of neighbor, and who after be-
ing taken from Jail by a mob of
friends voluntarily returned to
Jail after being at liberty week
or so.

Don't kick and whine,

Don't frown and scowl,
Look glum and growl;
Stop prating about ill-luck.
Lift up your head,
Don't seem half-dead,
Stop wearing a wrinkled face
Give smiling hope
Sufficient scope,
And joys will come apace.
Out on the man
Whose little span
Is full of grief and gloom;
Always dreary,
Never CHEEKY,
From trundle-bed to tomb.

Looks up and is cheerful still
<rWho meets brunt
With a smiling front,
And nerve and vim and will.

WHY / ATTEND CHURCH

1t is sweet on a summer
morning when the air is aquiv-
err with the love songs OF the
birds and fragrant with the
odor of roses blown, to hear
the music of the churchgoing
bells, an invitation to the world
wearied to enter Gods temple
and find peace, because the in
stinct of worship is in the heart
of man and the church is the
temple of the living God.
| go to church because find
there, that peace which De-
Quincy described as resting
from human labors, a Sabbath
of repose, respite granted
from the secret burdens of the
heart, as if / stood at distance
and aloof from the uproar of
life; as if the tumult and fever
of strife were suspended; as if
there brooded over me a dove
like and halcyon calm.
I go to church because l love
the music that / hear there the
mighty roll of the great organ,
mingled with the marvellous
symphonies of that divine strin-
ged instrument, the human
voice, untwisting all the chains
that tie the hidden soul of har-
mony.
| go to church because | de-
light to hear the teachings of
the preacher, whose soul is ded-
icated to God, whose field is as
wide as Gods universe, whose
theme is the destiny of man,
and whose words are the oracles
of Fate. Marvellous is the spell
of the preacher to whom God
has given genius and consecra-
ton and the power of illustra-
stion drawn from the old, sacred,
immortal Book, and from the
miracles of nature, no less re-
vealed in the crimson-tipped
flower turned up by the plow-
share of Robert Burns upon the
soil of Ayr thin in the long
reaches of the star-girt skies.

way is dark and / am far from

is the polar star to light my
pathway in the rayless night.

church ministers not only to
the spiritual but also to the ma
terial needs of life, and because
it is there that the charities that
soothe and heal and bless are
scattered at the feet of man like
flowers.

awarded the prizes by number,
the names of the students being
registered corresponding to the
numbers.
Mr.. Rhoads, in a very inter
esting talk given to the High
School, proved himself to be
thoroughly informed on corn
culture, also on the condition of
the crop throughout the State.
He stated that the average yield
per acre for Kentucky is go
bushels, while the average for
Montgomery county is "a bush

this county are good enough to
give any boy an equal chance
with boys of other counties in
the State Corn contest to be
held at Lexington during Farm
ers' Week.
