WOMAN TO WOMEN.

Many woman will recognize the
ills described below by Mrs w L. De
Mum, of Capron, Ill. Unfortunately,
they are ills peculiar to the sex, and

read with the greatest interest.
The facts are given precisely as stat

De Mum said
II was almost wreck. I was all run
down and too weak to do anything

Yes, 1 know of several. 1 recon-

APPEAL FOR AID.
Hundreds Are Destitute In the In
undated Districts

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 3.-This
has been a day Of incesant rain and
increasing appeals for help from the
suffering people Of the overlooked por-
ton of the country. AS the inundated
area increases, SO do the cries for help
grow in number and the suffering
more acute. From all sides come the
advices of swollen streams, wrecked
bridges, washouts, landslides and de-
layed and abandoned trains The re-
lief committee Of the board of trade
at Its meeting today, received sub
scriptiOns to the fund from various
parts Of the state, and completed ar
engagements for cooperation with their
vice presidents all over the state.
An appeal for succor from upwards
of five hundred sufferes in the Indian
Bay country. where $4,000 acres are
already under water, and where the
back water Is still rising was granted
and boat with a weeks rations for
five hundred was sent to their relief.
The steamer Eugene has gone to Ar
kansas ports with provisions for refu-
gees who have congregated there, and
also a supply Of feed for their stock.
The appeal to the governor for aid
from Lulu, st. Francis county, was
referred by the local relief committee
to the Memphis committee, the place
being accessible to that city, and a
boat has gone to their aid. In view
of the rapidly increasing number of
sufferers and increasing area Of over
flowing country, the following telegram
was sent to the Arkansas delegation in
Washington:
Great distress prevails in Eastern Arkansas.
Must have at least fifty thousand dollars of
government appropriation for relief Of Arkan-
flood sufferers. This amount should be
placed at the disposal of Gov. Jones, who
acts in conjunction with the relief commit
tee of Little Rock board Of trade and the
Arkansas state board Of trade Prompt action
is necessary. Delay means great distress,
loss Of life and property. (Signed)
w. W. Dickinson,
President Little Rock Board of Trade.
Gov. Jones today received the following tele-
gram from Washington:
Please report Immediately number Of people
suffering for food and shelter in the flooded
districts OF you state, and the sum required,
in your opinion for relieving their distress.
Keep department promptly informed Of partic-
ulars by telegraph and mail. (Signed)
R. A. AIger,
Secretary OF War.
Gov. Jones replied, saying:
Am gathering information by wire and
otherwise, and will promptly report to you as
soon as reliable data be obtained, by Mon
day, probably. Entire Mississippi valley in
Arkansas overlooked; great destruction OF
property. Communication to many points cut
off, rendering information you require diff
cult TO obtain. Extent Of suffering for food
and shelter can only be vaguely Appropriated,
but 1t is safe to say $50, 600 added by the gov
eminent to our local resources will not be too
much to meet the emergencies.

tress in Arkansas.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 3.-The heavy
floods in the Mississippi north Of
Cairo, and the rise in the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers, will throw an
other world Of water into the already
filled ST. Francis basin, and, as all this
will have to pass through the narrow
levee-bound channel beginning ten
miles above Helena to the first break
ten miles below that city, the fate Of
Helena and the low and fertile coun-
try behind the Tunica county, Missis-
slppi, levee is problematical. The peo-
pie of Helena have increased the height
of their levee two feet, but the water
is now even with the new crown. The
last night to be in a prevarious con-
dition, and the heavy rains Of today
have added to their weakness.
In the Mississippi delta the water Is
fast spreading over the entire country,
and the main line of the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley road Is reported to be
in a bad way If this road goes under
not line in the delta will be intact.
Many thousand people have been
made homeless, and appeals for aid
have gone forth. In the low lands Of
Arkansa a call for food has been made,
and the people Of Little Rock will
take immediate action. Starvation con-
fronts $4,000 Tonight r. G. Graves
and ]. S. Menkin, of tina Memphis re-
lief committee, go to Washington to
ask the general government to lend az

&c hot oil
ent funds. They are from Mississippi
as far down as Greenville, and from
nearly all OF Eastern Arkansas. The
visitors to Washington will ask for
5000 to be used in buying rations.
Ten thousand dollars has already been
expended by the local committee, and
probably $4,000 more Of provisions
have been distributed. 1t now looks
as if famine is ahead.
No more breaks in the levee are re-
ported tonight, but it is feared no
human power can overcome the force
Of nature below Vicksburg, and 1t Is
believed by many to be only a Ques-
ton of a few days before the sans
conditions that now obtain in the delta
will exist in Southeastern Arkansas
and Northeast stern Louisiana.
At Memphis the river Is reported as
stationary tonight. The hopeful Wow
of the food situation which prevailed
some days ago has been rapidly dis
sipated by reports from the waters
Of the upper Mississippi and its trib-
utaries which are rising at a rapid
rate, with every indication that i'm
n,ense volumes of water, the result of
O. thaw Of many feet of snow over
big area IN the Northwest, may be ex-
pected to pour into the upper Missis-
sippi through its tributaries and event

PRESIDENT INTERESTED.
Anxious to Do Something to Relieve
Flood Sufferers

The president Is showing great inter-
est in the news of the floods in the
West and South, and his sympathy
has been aroused by the accounts OF
| the suffering. 1t was at first supposed
that the passage by congress last week
OF the joint resolution making imme-
dlately available the $3.50, 900 appropri-
alton of the sundry civil act for the i'm
proVement of the lower Mississippi
river under the direction of the Mis-
sissippi river commission would go far
toward relieving the submerged sec
lions. Now 1t has been discovered,
however, that not cent of this money
can be applied legally to feeding and
caring for the people starving Nnd
shivering along the banks of the riv-
ers Under the law the money is ap-
propriated for the Improvement Of the
river, and can be expended only for
the preservation Of leVees and perhaps
by stretch Of construction for the
protection Of property. AT the time
OF this exigency the president has de-
termined TO bring the unfortunate
state Of the people to the attention OF
congress, trusting to that body and
the government to provide means Of
relief. To this end he has made in
quiries by telegraph Of the governors
OF the states where the floods prevail
as to the extent Of the floods and the
needs Of the people. These replies will
serve as a basis for an application
to congress
Some time ago an order was issued
by the secretary OF war detaching Capt.
Fitch, in charge Of the river and har-
Dor works along the Mississippi, in the
vicinity Of Memphis, from that duty,
and sending him to New York. AS the
floods came down the order was sus-
pended because Capt. Fitch is so ia
miliar with the flooded districts as to
make his presence very necessary. The
secretary has now revoked the order
altogether. in view Of the threatening
conditions along the river and the ap-
parent necessity for much work on the
part Of Capt. Fitch in the vicinity Of

WEATHER BUREAU BULLETIN.
Worst Strain on the Lower Levees
Is Yet to Come.

Is Yet to Come.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Willis L.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
has issued a special river bulletin in
which he says:
The river at Vicksburg will probably
begin to rise again when the water
from the creyasses returns through the
Yazoo and the rise from Vicksburg to
the mouth Is likely to continue indefi-
nitely. The greatest strain on the
levees below Vicksburg is yet to come
and residents Of districts, formerly
overfiOwed should heed the warnings
previously given by the weather bU-
reau and remove persons and property
to places Of safety. Heavy showers
occurred last night in the watershed
and along the lower Mississippi The
Tennessee, Cumberland, Missouri, Red
and lower Arkansas rivers have risen
and the Ohio has continued falling
The Mississippi has risen throughout
its entire length, except stationary at
Memphis, and a slight fall from Ar
kansas City to Vicksburg, in the vicin-
ity OF the crevasses. It Is above the
danger line at st. Paul and La Crosse
and nearing the danger line from Keo-
kuk to st. Louis. Ample warming Of

HAMILTON, Mimi, April S.-Tha
Minnesota river at this place is rising
very rapidly, at the rate Of three-quar-
tiers OF an inch per hour, and the valley
is lake of water, which will cause
considerable damage to the meadow
lands. L. B. Fisher had 165 cords Of
wood on the bank of the river, and
one-half of it is already swept away,
and the balance is in danger Of going
at any time. He also lost a new barge
he built last summer. A very small
rise more will put his farm Of 200
acres under water, and also his build
ings. The Omaha railroad tracks are
still clear Of water, but a small rise
will put the water over the tracks
