The tracks of the Pittsburg s. Wes-
tern road are several feet under water
within the city limits.
When the big gorge of ice in the Beaver
river at Rock Point broke it caused much
damage. AT one point the track of the
Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad is washed

ried away and the water is cutting under
the roadbed.

Exodus from tho College of Physicians
and Surgeons at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Feb S.-A sensation has
been created by the announcement that
so students attending the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, have left for
home on account of the sudden death of
three students.
The excitement is intensified by the re-
port that the deaths were caused by
what is feared is typhus fever.
The dead are: George Herndon of Wes-
tern Kentucky, died Friday; Fred H.
White of San Antonio, Tex, died yester-
day morning, and David H. Brown of
this city, died yesterday afternoon.
The students were attacked by symp-
toms which the physicians were unable
to ascrlbe to either virulent scarlet fever,
cerebro-spinal meningitis or cerebral
typhus and in issuing the death certif1-
Gates the facts were submitted to the
Health Department.

tracted in the dissecting room.

Blaine! BIaineI JaneSG,
A Talk With The Boys.

Last Saturday you did not go to school
and You wondered why that flag was a.
half mast on our building IL was in
tended rs an object lesson for you. 1t
was meant to stir up your patriotism,
without which you cam u be good citi-
Zens That flag was to remind You that
great light had gone out A great coun-
tryman of yours has gone from the earth
and we want you to revere his memory.
James G. Blaine is dead He was THE
giant or the giants of our time. He was
THE American of the Americans He
loved that flag He never lost an oppor
tunity to give our country push on it's
rocky road to progress, 1t WAS his kind
of patriotism that enabled these United
States to accomplish more in so years than
the rest of the world has in 500 years. He
held the lamp of American liberty
nloft ana was never afraid to turn on the
light He believed this was the only
country in the world worth living in and
he practiced what he preached. He was a
boy Just like you with q much harder
road to travel to win success But he did
it by hard work-the only way you can
do anything great. 1t is the boys who
grow to be great men that give character
TO our city, state and nation
Which of our boys will distinguish him
self so that the whole world will hear
from him We want some Waterbury
boy to do it. The road is open to every
body, and books are getting cheaper all
the time. Just think of it, boys! The
Name of Blaine was bigger than the name
of any state. Anybody can be behind, but
it takes Somebody to be ahead. Never be
discouraged, boys. Remember it is only
some of the people who are bad; the
people on the whole are good, and you will
find plenty to help you if you deserve it.
TRY.
Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act we'll your part, there all the honor lies.
We don't want you to grow so big as to
forget the Waterbury Furniture company.
We have full line of Crockery, Stoves,
Ranges, Carpets and everything in the
Furniture line. CASH OR CREDIT. We
furnish You all through, and You have the
whole bill in one place.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Rutherford Birchard Hayes was born in
Delaware, o., Oct. 4, 1922. He was descendent
in the sixth generation of George Hayes, who
left Scotland in 1850 and settled at Windsor.
Conn. He graduated from Kenyon college in
1872 and subsequently spent two years at the
law school at Cambridge, Mass. In 1S45 he was
admitted to the bar at Marietta, o., and COM
menced practice at Fremont in lS49. He re-
moved to Cincinnati and soon had very re-
munerative practice. In 1861 he abandoned
the practice of his profession and entered the
army as major of the Twenty-third Ohio vol
unteers. For his gallant services in the battle
of Winchester he was brevetted major general.
Mr. Hayes war record made him very popu-
lar In Ohio and while still in the army he was
elected to congress from the Second district,
but refused to take his seat until the war
should be ended. He was reelected in 1866
and had serven one term when he was elected
governor of Ohio. He was elected for the third
time in 1876 and while occupying this place
was nominated by the Republican party in
1875 as its candidate for president of the
United States. The contest was severe and
close and after the election disputes arose as to
the electoral votes of several states. The dis
pute was fiaally referred TO a committee com
posed of five senators, five representatives and
five judges of the supreme court of the United
States. The committee decided by vote of 8
