With the Ohio river, already above
the record flood mark of 1884 in

cities. until the work of cleaning I'D
is able to be carried on in nearly all
the streets
Thousands have lost their homes
and are without money. They are be-

the homes of the fortunate who were !.
not in the path of the floods. Thou

response to the call for aid has beea
magnificent. Governor Cox has al.
