The very best way to know whether Dobbins' Electric

The very best way to know whether Dobbins' Electric Soap is as good as it is said to be, is to TRY IT YOURSELF. It can't deceive YOU. Only be careful not to get au imitation. There are a great many Elec- tries and Magnetics, all intend ed to deceive the public into supposing that they are Dob bins Electric, or just as good. We have made this since 1869. It is the original Electric and is guaranteed to be worth four times as much as any other soap ever made. For washing anything, from the finest lace to the heaviest blanket, it IS without a peer. Only follow directions.
 READ all that we say wrappers
 around the sosp. and then see for yourself whether oi uot you can afford to ever use any othei soap than this, after having heard its oTr story, told you by your own test of 1t. DORBLWS SOAP MFG. CO.,, Successors to I. L. Crsgtn & O., Philadelphias Pas

TREMENDOHs LOSS OF LIFE.

Hundreds Of Persons Drowned by a
 Big Storm in Japan Vessels
 Foundered and Others Smashed to
 Pieces.
 SAN FRANcIsoo, Nov. 13-The steamer China brings news of frightful loss of life and tremendous devastation by floods in the southern and middle provinces of Japan. At Toyoe the water rose twenty feet and submerged all the houses in town. At Minouam the water attained height of thirty feet, sweeping away many houses. It was still worse in the neigh borhood of the prefect of Eksyems, where at Kawabe the river rose eighteen feet and broke down a great embankment, carrying away two hundred houses. About one hundred persons are unaccounted for. Going northward the storm beat with violence on the island of Sado, where 1t broke to pieces six vessels in the port of Yebisu and nine others at Suisu, whereby four seamen lost their lives. Before going 50 far northwsrd 1t touched at Toyama- Ken and carried away forty eight houses and broke down the roads at Shing Minsto, but happily without loss of life. At the city of Toyams eighty houses were car ried away and over one thousand are under water. Ine OenlnO rose twenty | seven feet in Tokushima-Ken, many houses were demolished and the embankment burst in many places. In Kawabe and | the neighborhood four hundred houses | were carried away and the fate of over two hundred persons is as yet uncertain, while @ similar number of houses have been swept away at Kuboya. At Tsnoura in Buzsn 8 large number of junks and fishing | ing boats were smashed to pieces. | Up to the present the report of the great est loss of life, 80 far as actually known comes from Futakata-Gun, in Hyogo-Ken

Lewelling Gives His Reasons for
Making the Compromise.
TOPEKA. Kan, Feb. 17.-Gov Lewell-
ing dictated the following statement to
an Associated Press representative this
afternoon:
The Populist party has taken no step
backward. TO the Republican house
has been conceded in the interest of
harmony the possession of represent
ative hall in the capitol building. The
concession of the hall is not an admis-
sion Oh the part of the PopuliStS or my
self that the Republican is the constitu-
tional house. Had possession OF it been
steadfastly claimed by the PopuliSts and
striven for, the problem would have re-
solved itself for solution into a
shameful physical contest. The
Populist legislature will now
proceed without fear or moleStation to
any of its officers or me mberS by arrest
or other means to the transaction of
business. BloodShed has been averted.
This is the crownlng triumph of the
Populist victory. The governor and the
senate of Kansas will recognize but one
house OF representatives. If at some
later day the supreme court shall de-
clare the Popullst house an unconstitu-
tional body, then the responsibility for
the action Of the house will rest with it
alone. The people will be the judges.
The Populists have at all times denied
the right of the supreme court to de-
termine OH any question arising from the
organization of the house of represent

Assignment Of a Prominent
Capitalist OF Eastern
Ohio.
Gov. Mckinley Indorser on
His Paper for a Large
Amount.
Indications That All the Gov
ernor's Property Will
Be Lost.
Failure Due to Investments
in Many Unproduetive
Enterprises.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., Feb. IA sensa-
ton was caused in the business. finan-
cial and manufacturing circles today by
the failure of Robert l.. Walker. prom
inent banker and capitalist, who made
an assignment this afternoon to Hal K.
Taylor, a Well-knoWn attorney, for the
benefit of his creditors. The failure
will be widespread in its effects, involv-
ing Gov. Mckinley, and the indications
are now that every dollar of property
owned by the governor will be
swept away. During the past ten
years Mr.. Walker has been rated
as very wealthy man. He organized
the Youngstown Stamping company,
taking large block of stock, and has
been its president since it began busi-
ness. Today the Commercial National
bank made levy Oh the plant of the
stamping company to secure judgment
of $3.50. This was followed by Mr..
Walker giving mortgages to Gov. Nc
KlnleY and Thomas Guy OIL a farm in
Wilton township and his homestead in
Poland, six miles from here. Seeing
that there was no hope of being eXtri-
Gated from his financial difficulties. Mr..
Walker this afternoon made all assign
ment to Attorney Taylor for the benefit
of his creditors.
Unremuneratiye investments.
AS near as can be estimated, the liza
bllitieS will reach $500, most of it
paper for small amounts held by cOun-
try banks. The failure is due to invest
mentS in properties and enterprises re-
curing a large outlay of money that
have not been as yet productive. In adj
dition to the stamping works, he invest
ed in the Girard, Stove works, coal mines
at West Newton, Pa, and Salinevllle,
o., and was interested in a large num-
Der of smaller enterprise This used
up all the funds at his command, and
necessitated securing the Endorsement
of paper by friends.
From boyhood Gov. Mckinley and
Mr Walker have been the closest per-
ssnal friends. When MI. Walker re-
queSted the governor to indOrSe his
notes, there was no hesitation in the gov
ernar affiXing his signature without ask
ing any Investigation. The governor
continued placing his signature on notes
until the crash came. In response to a
message Gov. Mckinley came here to-
day to ascertain the condition of affairs,
and to learn whether he is bankrupt
or not. 1t is estimated that he
is on the paper of Mr.. Walker
for from $4,000 to $4,000, and if it
amounts to less than the first-named
figure, efforts will be made by the gov
ernor to take care of it. Otherwise, he
will lose every cent he has in the world.

CHEYENNE, Feb. 17.-Thero was no
little excitement in the Legislature to-
day over an attempt on the part
of the Repub licans to find a candl-
date for senator who could not only
command his party strength, but also
get three votes from the outside. Con-
gressman Clark telegraphed TO his
friends. telling them to vote for any
Republican who could be elected. He
thought it more important to the party
in the state and the nation that Re-
publican be sent from Wyoming than
that party strife be kept up i'll the state.
Senator Warren made the same recon-
mendatlon, but De Forrest Richards
made an exception of Warren, against
whom he had a personal spite. There
were four ballots today. The Repub-
licans stood % for Congressman Clark
on all four. The Democrats gave II to
Gen. Thompson, 6 to Baxter and 2 to
Homer. The PopullstS voted Solidly
tor William Brown. Tomorrow the
legisl ature must adjourn, and no cleo
tion is probable.

IN THE JURY'S HANDS.
Testimony Finished and Argu-
ments Made in the O'Don-
nell Case.
The Defendant Goes on the Stand
I'D TestifieS in His Own
Behalf

PITTsBURG, Feb. 17-This is the fifth
day OF the Hugh O'Donnell trial. The
court room would not accommodate half
of the number that sought all entrance
this morning. After the examination
of several unimpOrtant witnesses, Hugh
O'Donnell was placed on the stand.
Prior TO aad on July = Hugh ODonnell
was the accredited correspondent of the
Tri-State News Bureau, the Pittsburg
Dispatch, magazines and other publica-
ations. Between 800 and 600 people
we're OH the river bank when he
arrived. The barges had already reached
their moorings. There were ten to
twelve men standing on the bows of the
barges, who had guns in their hands,
while the gang plank was being run
out. | begged the men on the boats. not
to land, saying Don't shoot: there are
many women and children here. Pot

turned to address the crowd and
heard single shot, then fusil-
ade, one volley after another, from the
barges, lasting five minutes. AT the first
volley a man at my left and one in front
of me fell. [ and another man craWled
into sew wer trap to get out of danger. L
then went to the telegraph office and
sent messages to the PittSburg hospitals
to send ambrlanees. l heard that a
friend had been killed and went to his
house. From there | went to the office
of DR.. Puman. in no way aided or abet
bed in the riot OF that day, and acted
throughout so far as could as peace
maker. | went to the river bank to
prevent, if possible, any conflict. Pre-
vous to the landing of the bargeS no
one knew that the men were other than
workmen who had come to take the
places Of the looked-out workmen.
There was no armed or mil
itary organization among the locked-out
men prior to July 6. The men
were against resorting to any such
measures. During the croSS-eXamina-
tion O'Donneil was ever ready with a
prompt reply. Witness maintained that
the first shot came from the bow of the
barges. This was followed by d fuSilade
from the stern, and as result three OF
four men on shore fell. Witness then
attended the wounded, sending them to
their homes or hospitals,
After dinner Deputy Sheriff Gray
testified that there was no firing from
the stern of the barges. Attorney
Marshall then presented tie law points.
Judge Stowe announced that each side
would be allowed two hours to put
their arguments to the jury. At the
close of the argument Judge Stowe
adjourned court until O'Clock, at
which hour he would be there to charge
the jury. Judge Stowe began his charge
to the jury at 7:0S O'Clock and con-
cluded at 7:5O. He announced that he
would wait short time to hears ver-
dict, and lhe jury retired. At $50
O'Clock nothing had been heard from
the jury, and the court adjourned until
$3.50 tomorrow morning.

PORT ROYAL, S. C., Feb. II. - The
Vesuvius experiments of the day began
with repetition of the last test of yes
terday. A shell was fired from the star
board gun of the Vesuvius at the beach
of st. Philips island, the range being
similar to that selected yesterday.
The Vesuvius was considerably closer
in shore when the projectile was
fired than it was at the time of the
previous test. This moved the range
line to a part of the beach
which was level. The projectile hurled
a pyramid of sand thirty feet in the air
when it struck, but there was no eXplo-
sion of any kind. At the point of con-
tact trench ten feet long, three feet
deep and one and half feet in width
was dug. The projectile took course
nearly parallel to the surface and con-
tinuing for distance of forty-fve feet.
When unearthed it was found pointing
at an angle about tWo-thirds of that
at which it had struck. The nose of
the she'll was decidedly dented on one
side, which rendered it impossible to
withdraw it and thoroughly examine the
fuse.r Before firing the shell the i'm
pact action of the fuse had been thor
oughly neutralized. AS the board de-
sired to experiment with time action
only the fuse will be examined at the
leisure of the board. The only other
experiment of the day was an attempted
detonation of the loaded she'll fired on
the beach yesterday. This she'll was

Many Of the people have moved

fearing that the town will be visited by
a terrible flood which will gorge now at

railroad bridge is still intact. and there
IS no sign of the gorge opposite the town

MIDDLESBOROUGH, KY. Feb. 17.-The
heavy rains OF last night caused the
canal to overflow its banks this morn
Ing, completely flooding the east end
and south side of the city. The novel
sight OF boats upon the streets, a yerita-
bic Venice, was presented. Two treStleS

ROME, Ga, Feb. lit has rained
heavily liere for over twenty four hours
and still continues. The rivers are ris-
ing rapidly, and the indications now are
that this city will soon be flooded.
JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Feb. IT,
The river situation has become
critical, and a flood of the low
lands in this vicinity is not an
impoSSibility. The danger line was
passed yesterday afternoon, and the tur-
bulent Ohio is creeping higher all the
time. The danger line is twenty-four
feet. Lawrenceburg, Aurora, Rising Sun,
Madison, Utica and numerous other
towns on tue Indiana side are in great
danger Many of the farm houses are
built close to the water, and they may

This city is protected by the levee, but

OTTAWA, H., Feb. 17.-The Illinois
river is on the rampage. Heavy rains
falling upon the area east of the city on
Monday and Tuesday sent great
the ice. and ice for a distance of
ten miles east of the city, broke into
great irregular masses and was borne
westward until it reached a narrow
point three miles above, where it be-
came gorged. During last night the ice
broke loose above the river bridges
and swept west to Hits island, where
a second gorge has formed. The water
and ice are now thirteen feet above low
water mark, and while the rise is not
rapid it is perceptible. Allen Park
and the loWlandS between here
and Lasalle are flooded. A rise Of five
feet, which is probable within the next
few days, will cause duplication Of the
