 This remedy is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription. It acts directly upon the organs that make wifehood and motherhood pos sible. It gives them health and vigor. It stops weakening drains, allays inflammation and soothes pain. The nerves, no longer tortured, resume their natural function of directing the healthy action of all the organs of the body. Under its benign influence the weak, sickly, nervous, fretful invalid, be- comes a robust capable, helpful, amiable wife, fitted for the duties of motherhood. All good druggists sell it.

$4,000 Under a Carpet.

Under the carpet in the room where
Isaac II. Lewis, the Nephonset hermit,
who died a month ago in Boston, lived
there were found a few days ago bonds,
deeds Of property. cash, and various kinds
of securities, the total value OF which is
said to be over $50 900
The life OF Lewis was that of a recluse.
No one was allowed TO enter his home
and 1T was seldom that he bowed or
spoke to those whom he met on the street.
Mr.. Lewis died during the big snow
storm about a month ago He was alone
WREN he died. His neighbors even didn't
know that he was ill., He had been dead
several days when his body was discov
cred
The police searched the house previous to
the burial for money enough to pay the ex-
penses. All that was found was 81 8, W hich
was sewed in the lining of the old man s
vest. The first evidence Of wealth was dis
covered when, after his death, a deed for Il
big tract Of land at Mount Bowdoin station
was discovered in the house. The land is
worth in the neighborhood of $50, 900. 1t
was known also that he owned the house
in which he had lived for nearly quarter
Cfa century. Thisis worthprobably So, 600
w. H. Fl. Moore, Lewis son-in-law,
president of big insurance company n
New York, with Lewis son, who holds a
responsible position in railroad company
at Chicago, came to Boston after the death
of the old man. Both were convinced that
the old man had property hidden some
where. They inclined TO the theory that he
had the property in a safe deposit vault
f,,I FosJ aI f.
Every safe deposit vault in the city was
applied to, but hone OF them had any Of
Lewis property. The savings banks were
also visited, but, search n s they might, the
men could not get any trace of the hidden
wealth. Then they concluded that perh APPS
the property was concealed about the home
of the hermit. -
A party of men was employed to dig up
the cellar of the house, This was done
very carefully, and every square inch of
the ground was overhauted to a considerable
de pth The search disc losed nothing.
Still the relatives of the dead miser were
not satisfied. They continued to look over
the house, and finally took to looking into
the walls and then under the floors.
Then, it is stated, the box containing
the valuabies was found The wealth was
nearly all in United States bonds and in
terest-bearing documents worth at a. con-
servative estimate, $4,000 The exact
amount will not he disclosed. A good deal
of secrecy is maintained by the authorities
st the request of the relatives.
No trace of a will has been found. A
thorough search has been made for it and
it is believed that the man died without
making one. He was eighty-four years old,
and in his younger days he had been q mer-
chant in New York. Some financial diff
culties overlook him, and he was confinedin
an asylum for couple of years. When he

The So Rate Closes With
the End of March.
Doctor Mccoy Gives Due and
Sufficient Notice Ac-
c0rding to His
Agreement.
There Will Be Positively No Exten-
sion or Continuance Be-
You'd That Date.

In giving the So rate Doctor Nc.
Coy reserved to himself the right
to withdraw 1t TO new patients
at any time by giving due notice
In the public prints. Doctor Mccoy
finds that the time has come to ex-
ercise that right, the number OF
patients now growing so large as
to very soon exceed the possibility
Of personal care and attention He
therefore announces that &c will be
iDpOssiblet to continue the rate after
April L, except to those patients al
ready under regular treatment, who
are, of course, entitled to it until
cnred. Until April I all patients
applying for treatment or renewing
treatment will be treated until
cured at the rate of 50 a month.
There will be, however, no further
extension OF the rate, and it Will
not be given again in Doctor Nc
COy's practice. After April 1 Doc
tor Mccoy will resume his usual
fees.

Seven Persons Drowned In the Mis-

Reported.

st. Louis, Mo, March 1S.-The perilous
condition of the lOwIands south OF the
junction OF the Mississippi and the Ohio
Rivers is strongly emphasized by the
hourly receipt of messages here telling
of the encroachnlents of the flood. All
that section OF Missouri, Arkansas, and
Louisiana drained by the st. Francis, the
White, Arkansas and Red Rivers is either
under water or soon will be. The Ohio
River is over its banks al many points and
Paducah, KY, Is an island There was
heavy rain throughout. Southern Illinois
and Western Kentucky yesterday and the
already well-charged streams are over
flowing. 1t is estimated that 400 square
miles or Arkansas bolt ON lands are
under water. The attention that has been
recently paid to saving live stock is now
directru to rescuing ,embargoed families
from hills and treertops- A special from
Helena, Ark, says, that three fourths of
Coahoma county, Miss is submerged. The
town is fuu or refugees from the flooded
district. ,rs,t-
Seven people were drowned yesterday
in Arkansas, across from Memphis; all
negroes. One OF them, Charles Barnes, was
simply reported as being washed away
by the rushing floods. The remaining six
known to have persisted were in a small
boat, making for the railroad track leading
to Marion. The frail craft was upset by
conflicting currents, and the party went
down. Another report has five additional
drowning by the collapse of bridge on
which they were crossing a torrent, and
etanother whole family, nunberunkno wn;
but the twolatter reports lack Confirmation.
A report from Helena, Ark, Mates that
thereis great fear over the levee at Modoc,
which threatens to break at any moment,
and the fullest possible force is at work
to avert the disaster.
From osce0la, Ark, to a point opposite
Memphis, the entire basin is overlooked
and 10000 refugees have been compelled
to seek high land. Three thousand refugees
are in Memphis and 200 are camped
along the line of the Iron Mountain rail-
road Several hundred have sought refuge
along the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf, and thousands ON the crest Of the

yesterday where the costs amounted to
almost twice as much as the principal
