Sitting COMMITTEE KILLED.
Pops Unable to Carry Out Their
Scheme at Pierre.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE. S. D., Feb. 23.-The senate
today considered a large number Of
committee reports and went over the
educational bill in committee of the
whole. The house was the storm center
and, after a fight on equal suffrage n
the appointment of a sitting committee.
the question Of the committee was
killed, and the bill to establish the
Office of insurance commissions laid to
final rest. Among the bills introduced
were measures to repeal the law to
tax railroads, telegraph and telephone
companies on gross earnings and an
other capital removal bill.
The Populists held a caucus tonight
to consider the bill to reorganize the
state board Of charities and correc-
tions, which carries with it the appoint
ment of the heads of charitable and
penal institutions.
The sitting bill was looked upon as
being a pure Matchmaking scheme.
Heretofore a sitting committee has
never been appointed prior to the last
three days. The Republicans opposed
it warmly. Four votes were taken.
and in each the sinkers were beaten,
the vote being a tie. Kirk, German,
Purdin and Schwartz voted with the
Republicans.
The situation is critical for the Pop
ulists and they will make an alliance
that will permit them TO become mas
tiers of the situation. All of their pet
measures have been held up till now,
and, unless they DC form a compact,
they are likely to adjourn without
accomplishing anything.

being interested in gambling and those hang
ing around the several lairs and without Wis
ible means of support will be asked to ex-
plain how they earn a livelihood by the mu-
nicipal judges if the police follow closely the

SIX o VICTIMS.
Drowning of a Family at solIyer-
Vile Remarked

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 23.-Last night
In the absence Of a great cloud burst
at Of the Monongahela
river, no one dreamed the river here
Woulu reach a maximum of over 55
Ieet. Opinions changed today when it
was learned that a flood in ~theAllegheny
was coming down just late enough to
pie IN on that Of the Monongahela.
Tonight the signal service observer here
predicts go feet will be reached at Gin
cinnati by tomorrow night. At 8 o'clock
tonight the stage here was 81 feet 8
inches, a rise Of 3 feet in IL hours, or
3 inches per hour.
Reports tonight from points above
show rapid rises from Pittsburg to Gin
However, the headwater
streams are falling at M~organtown, are
stationary at New River and at Eliza
beth, on the Little Kanawha, falling at
Louisa on the Big Sandy, and rising
slowly at several other sources or tri-
butaries.
AT Catlettsburg, KY, 100 houses are
more or less submerged, and a few
more feet will effect every business
house in the city. Cellars on Front
and Third streets at Portsmouth are
hooded and many people are driven
from their dwellings,. Portions of
Maysville, KY, and much of Aberdeen.
o., are submerged, driving families
from their homes. On the Big Sandy
river the villages Of East Point and
Solyerville have been made uninhabit-
able. 1t is reported that a family Of
six were drowned at S%olyerville.
At Louisa, KY, all mails are stopped
and all telephone wires are down.
Here at Cincinnati and vicinity the
towns Of Dayton and Bellevue and
portions of Newport, KY, are already
suffering much Inconvenience. Water
in Cincinnati has invaded the central
depot and compelled the Big Four and
other roads to seek higher grounds.
Gardens in Mill Creek valley are al
ready under water. If the river should
reach sixty feet the loss in all the
places mentioned above will be greatly
increased.

personal bond shall be required In such
a case to contribute a pro rata share
in making the loss good. This way
of providing for the ~treasurer's possible
dishonesty is not at all satisfactory to

much as the surety companies. show a
desire In this way to make the personal
bondsmen shoulder the bulk Of the re-

The committee adjourned until 10
O'CLOCK this morning without taking
any action.
Before the executive session Mr..
Thompson was permitted to address
the committee, and some of his re-
marks created a decided sensation. He

the city.

This statement did not meet with the
approval Mr.. Thompson might have
expected. The aldermen claim tf~E
there was no such understanding Is
this and that when MI. Thompson ac-
cepted the office there was no such
understanding regarding the assistant.
although he intimated such to be the
case. Mr.. Hangar paid the extra man
of the office out of his own pocket. If
Mr.. Thompson insists in the stand he
has taken in this matter it is barely
possible that the city will be casting
about for another treasurer after the
meeting his afternoon. F

In case of danger the Indian was ever ready
to act and often too at the expense of personal
bodily harm to himself. This promptness and
self-reliance in cases of accident has been the
means of his saving many lives. Equally alsrt
has he ever been for greater dangers, those
arising from a diSordered condition of the
kidneys, liver, stomach or blood, which he
knew as well as the best physician of to-day
would eventually result in death.
His remedy for these troubles was always q
medicine compounded from roots, herbs, barks
and gums, not roughly thrown together, but
carefully compounded, the secret of making
it having been handed down from generation
to generation. This same remedy known as
INDIAN SAGwA, is to-day still made
as it was formerly by the Indian and is known
and recognized the world over as one Of the
greatest blessings ever given to man.
If you are ailing try this wonderful medicine.
A cure in every instance is speedily effected
and in no case has harm ever resulted from
It's use. Sold by all druggists.

Prof. Moses Colt Tyler, of Cornell, said
Washington's reputation as a soldier and
statesman was safe, he was in real danger
from the humorist of the future. This was
owing to the fact that Washington, the real
man, had never been very we'll known. and
is now almost forgotten, having been replaced
in the popular mind by a myth type almost
equally compounded of the heroic, the priggish
and the statuesCue.
