RIVER MAY REACH
more Than 50 FEET
IN THIS DISTRICT
Weather Forecaster Deyereaux Says
Crest May Be IS Feet-Sharp Rise
In River Last Nlght-Stream
Continues to Creep
a Up Banks.

The Ohio river may 60 beyond the
Hood stage of so feet in this district
Is the statement made this morning
by District Weather Forecaster Dew
ereaux in Cincinnati. He predicts that
a flood stage Of so feet will be reached
at Cincinnati by Saturday morning
and that the crest may not be reached
before Sunday
During Thursday night the Ohio at
this point rose several feet. The guage
at the local wharf at o'clock Thurs
day afternoon registered 3S feet and
at 8 o'clock Friday morning 1t regis
tered 41.2 feet. At 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon the government guage reg
istered 43.5 showing rise Of 23 feet
III seven hours on a very large vol
umn Of water.
The food stage of fifty feet will put
water on the floor of Limestone bridge
and greatly interfere with traffic into
the East end of the city. Forty-five
or six feet will put water in the "hole''
under the C. & o. railroad bridge on
Bridge street and make 1t necessary
for the street car passengers to trans
fer. This is expected Friday night.
Should the river reach a stage OF
near IS feet in the Maysville district
considerable damage will be done here
but so long as the river does not reach
a higher stage than so feet little DAM
age will be done.
The very cold weather the people Of
this section are now experiencing will
do much toward holding the river
back. As long as the ground in the
up-river districts remains frozen it is
possible that anything like disas.
trous food will be averted.
The weather Bureau at Cincinnati
received reports Friday that consider
able water from Pittsburgh was or
its way down the river in addition tt
the heavy waters from the Kanawhf
river. At Pittsburgh the river is 22.t
feet-S inches above flood stage. Al
Dam 6, below Pittsburgh, the river
stage Is 1926 feet, rise Of 13 feet
and two feet above flood stage. A
Wheeling the river is 3O4 feet, rist
Of IL feet.
Five to six inches of snow has fal
len in West Virginia and there was ;
very light snowfall in the Cincinnati
district Friday morning. A dispatcl
from Gallipolis Friday morning state'
that the flood stage there or 80 fee
was already exceeded by seven fee
and the river was rising half foo
an hour.

MONTHLY STOCK
SALES WILL Be
HELD ON monday
Next Monday Is Regular Monthly
County Court Day and Stock Sales
Day - Committee Expecting
Many Farmers and Cattle
Dealers Here.

The committee in charge Of manag-
ing the regular monthly stock sales
expect good sized crowd Of farmera
and stock men in the city on next
Monday to attend the monthly stock
sales. The tobacco market being on
in full blast will in all probability at
tract many farmers here as sight
seers.
AS a usual thing large number OF
the tobacco growers Of this section of
the country who are unable to attend
the opening sales make arrangements
to attend the sales on County Court
day and the warehousemen are expect
ing many spectators at the sales Mon.
day.
In view Of the fact that the govern
ment is soon to sell at public auction
a large amount of mules and horses
used by the cavalry during the war
would indicate that the horse dealers
who have surplus animals on hand
will make a frantic effort on next
court day to sell their horses before
the government lets all of their ami
mails loose and it is expected that the
horse trading ring will be filled with
not only trading stock but first class
animals.

Z given time by the brain and Pur-
re trainers Of our constitution
Iclearly foresaw that. TO meet the ~
ture needs Of great ana growing ma. lls-
ton. changes would from time TO time
be required They provided, there
fore. in the constitution itself an or
derlv method by which it might be
amended.
How It Is Made u.
The constitution OF the United
States as We now have II. consists OF
a preamble, seven articles and eight
cen amendments. These amendments,
however. have not altered its funda-
mental conception OF the relationship
Of government TO freedom and human
happiness nor its basic provisions for
esta blishing that just relation
What, then. are the fundamental
PRINCIPLES Of the constitution and
what are the vital rights that each Of
US enjoys under it,
The most fundamental OF these prin-
ciples is the guarantee Of civil lib
erty by the limitation Of the powers
chief Justice Marshall. the first
great interpreter Of our constitution,
says
ssThis government Is aeknOWl-
edged by all to he one Of enum-
Grated powers. The principle that
ers granted TO il is now
universally admitted"
Keeps Back the Freaks
Again and again in our history. as
In the history Of all nations, factions
for the moment in power have wished
to enact laws the desire for which
grew out Of the passions of the hour.
But they have always had to face
that great principle OF our constitu-
ton which limits the powers OF gov
eminent and which they dared not
transgress. And so we have re-
manned a free people.
Recognizing these wise restraints.
Abraham Lincoln urges us 10
sLet reverence for the law 49,
become the political religion Of
the nation.1
Lest at any time those in power
should willfully or ignorantly refuse
to be governed by the limitations Of
authority laid down by the constitu-
ton. a supreme court and lower fed
eral courts were established with
power 10 render ineffective all legis-
lation in conflict with the constitu-
ton
Power of Courts.
In respect 10 these courts. Alexander
Hamilton, one Of the authors OF the
constitution, says:
BY limited constitution I under
stand one which contains certain spec
flied exceptions to the legislative
authority. Limitations Of this
kind can be preserved in practice in
no other way than through courts Of
justice, whose duty IL must be 10 de-
clare all acts contrary to the mani
Test tenor Of the constitution void"
Ot the supreme court. Daniel Web
ster declares:
The constitution without II would
De no constitution. the government,

The principles which the constitu-
