sand Of Dollars Damage Done.

Three Mile Creek In Brown county
near Aberdeen did more damage to
growing crops and property after the
hard rain Of Monday than this creek
has ever heretofore done. Water in
the creek valley was from three to
four feet higher than It had ever be-
fore been and scores Of acres Of corn
were covered by the rush.
The village Of Ellsberry located on
the banks Of the creek was probably
damaged more than any other COM
munity. Water was in many Of the
houses In the village and the Cochran
blacksmith shop was washed from its
foundation and carried away some dis
tance.
The water was four foot deep in the
covered bridge which spans the creek
near Slickaway and many chickens
were drowned. One COW was carried
away and a horse was carried from
near Ellsberry to a point near the
bridge at the Ripley pike but was
saved.
Damage done to crops along the fer.

Quite large delegation from Mays

Of the heavy rains and the fact that a

The meeting at Manchester was
quite an enthusiastic one. Mr.. John

was unanimously chosen President Of
the association and Mr.. Robert Stivers,
Of Ripley was made Treasurer. All the
counties along the river route will be
organized. Both sides Of the river will

tion fee of one dollar each and funds
thus raised will be used by the associ-
alton in promotion Of the river route,
Another very important meeting OF
the association will be held in the
town of Ripley within the next few
weeks at which time plans will be per-
fected. Great interest is shown in
Maysville and it is expected that a

them in religion, race or even ma
tionality-which the elect need
respect.
The dominant religion of
Great Britain and the United
States, on the other hand, is
built upon the so-called Old Tes-
lament, that is, upon a Judaic
basis. The Ten Commandments,
the laws and maxims given by
Moses and the Prophets are the
roots of Anglo-Saxon ethics.
That the Lord requires that man
shall do justice, shall love mer-
cy, that there shall be one law
for the stranger and the native,
are Jewish doctrines given to the
world many centuries before
either Christianity or Moham-
mechanism came into existence.
These maxims do not form
part of the religion or of the eth
ical code of the Eastern or
Southern Europeans, hence their
failure to emerge from barbar-
ism and their need for the rule
of the iron hand.
Naturally, these people hate
those who have a higher and
more civilized standard of eth
les, and this is what lies back of
the pogroms and prosecutions in
the backward countries and even
of the prejudice against Jews
and their social exclusion by
more civilized peoples.
Hungary and Austria need a
monarchial form of government
to keep order at home and pre-
vent them from being a nuisance
perhaps a danger-to the
world at large.
Hence we can view as calmly
the return Of Charles to Austria
Hungary as we did that of Con-
stantine to Greece. Mankind was
none the better for their down.
fall and will be none the worse
for their restoration.-The Am
erican Israelite.
