Floods in the Connecticut.

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn, July 1S.-
The Connecticut River at this point is
higher today than at any time during the
present year. The water stands ID feet
above the normal height. Word comes
from Suffeld that the crops were greatly
damaged by the heavy rains. Tobacco
especially suffered greatly, and it is esti-
mated that at least $50, 900 damage has
been done, In Windsor, it is reported
acres of young tobacco are under water.

Record Breaking.

Several railroads have been making
simultaneous efforts, recent y, to break the
speed record, and all have succeeded.
July IL. William ii. Crockcr special

ords on that line by running from Ogden
to Oakland. S33 miles, in 23 hours, and
on Friday following, his brother, George,
made the same trip i'll 20 hourS2l minutes
On the same day train ON the New \ ork
Central. without previous preparation and
merely III an effort to make up lost time
ran l-t9 miles in 43 minutes. including
the usual stops and slow-ups. On We'd
nesday the Reading Hallway new fast

minutes. and part of the distance, from
IIammonton to Elwood, o. miles, was
travelled III 81 minutes, or at the rate Of

100000, 900 Pounds of Watermelon
From the Galveston News.

So far the 4, 300, 900 people of Texas
have enjoyed only three watermelons per
capita, but there are nine more per capita
coming. Just to think, grand old Texas
produces only about 10000, 600 water
melons, weighing in the aggregate only
500, 900, 600 pounds Why, they could
be packed in 30, 600 cars and would make
only about 1000 trainloads Our 30, :
900, 900, 900 cantaloupes will make up the
deficit, however.

Macy d Pcndlcton, in their daily report.
speaking of the wheat prospect, say
Bears are not making much progress
i'll reducing prices by selling wheat and
farmers in the sections that have harvested
are not showing much anxiety to deliver
early. The English is now estimated be-
low the usual average The French crop
is known to be short enough, so that they
will require considerable foreign grain in
stead of exporting -four, and all the other
continental countries have no excuses
worth mentioning and all seem likely to
import their usual quantity of foreign
grain. Argentine cannot deliver any grain

and then only from ii crop confessedly very
moderate India is short and will not ex-

is not likely to produce much grain for eX-

prices of the moderate stocks in store equal

FISH SEASON.
The Early Catch of Shad Larger Than
Usual,

Il.
The early catch of shad in the Potomac
this season has been larger than usual and
the prices are lower than they have been
so early in the season for a long time.
During the past few weeks most of the
shad in the local market have been caught
in gill nets. especially those caught in the
Potomac, but the big haul-seines are being
Put in the river now and by the middle of
next week it is expected all the scines will
be in operation. The catch of herring has
rot been so large, and better prices pre-
vail. From now until the close of the shad
ard herring season prices will gradually de-
cline until shad will probably sell as low
as Z or cents apiece, while herring will
probably sell as low as $3.50 or s. a thou
said. White perch and rock fish are al
ways scarce during the shad and herring
season, and the experience of the fisher
men this season is no different from that
of years past. Yellow perch and catfish
are unusually plentiful. and are correspond
II ely cheap. The season for shad and her
ring will close May Is. by which time the
fish are poor and not in demand. Later in
the season the packers will start up the
work of putting the fish away in barrels
and this will give employment to many ad-
ditional men. as well as scores of women.
When the shad and herring season closes
the salt water fish from the lower Potomac,
including spots, bluefsh. croakers. trout
and mackerel, will appear to supply the
fish demands. During the past few days a
great many black bass, including num-
ber of the plymouth variety, have been
caught in the gill nets, especially about
Pohick creek and Gunton. Some of the
dealers have handled SO many of them that
they have made them a speciality. 1t is
stated that small seine has been operated
in the river between here and Alexandria
in the day time, as well as at night, and
that large numbers of small black bass
have been caught.

!! PEOPLE OF FEW WORDS,

Let your speech be yea, yea, and nay, nay"
says the Good Book, for whosoeyer is more than
these eQmeth of evil" The Shakers abide by the
spirit Of this rule. Their words are few, simple,
sincere aid direct They waste energy in idle
talk; they use 1t In thinking and doing. And what
ever they do they do with their might. They
content with nothing short Of the essence and
principle of the things they Investigate. They take
pains and patient. And thus the doors of many
strange truths open to them. In this way they dis
covered what may almost be called the unity Of
disease. A venerable Shaker says of it: 1t is
said that one mans meat is another mans poison.
That is but falf the truth. ANY MANS MEAT Is
ANY MANS POISON, under certain conditions. If
the grain never got further than the hopper We
should never have bread: and If bread never got
further than the stomach should never have
strength. When the stomach is torpid, helpless
mentation produces poisons which may. and often
do, disorder every other organ and function of the
body. This is indigestion dyspepsia. with many
symptoms or disguises. Cure it and you cure nine
tenths of your complaints These words We're
uttered many years ago. Since then they have
found a remedy known the Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial. 1t is made from medicinal plants
cultivated by them 1t is a food and digests other
foods. Taken while eating it rests the stomach
and nOurishes the system. The pain and distresses
of dyspepsia disappear before it. 1t prevents fer
mentation and soon restores full power to the di-
gestfon. 1t succeeds in the worst 1t is
worthy the name of the people whose name 1t
bears. Any druggist will sell you a trial bottle
for ten cents.
