jority OF forty sx over Albert G.. Porter. and

FRIEND Or THE GREENBACK
Senator Voorhees, was one of the ardent
admirers and supporters of the United States
greenback currency and. beginning his sena-
torial service with a most eloquent speech
in favor OF the preservation of the full legal
tender quality of this money, he never
abated at any time HE earnest advocacy OF
the greenback
In appearance Senator Voorhees, was one
OF the most striking figures in the senate.
AS an orator he had few peers. commanding
magnificent vocabulary and imbuing his
utterances with a degree OF earnestness and
feeling that strangely influenced his auditors.
His legal reputation, in fact, was based
largely on his forensic powers, and 1t is an
undisputed fact that success attended his
efforts in many cases commonly regarded as
hopeless almost owing to his ability to
sway tho jury by the magnetic qualities of
his address.
The severe strain, physical and mental to
which Senator Voorhees, was subjected, as the
leader of the majority in the senate, during
the campaign resulting in the passage cf the
Sherman repeal law permanently impaired
his health. After that campaign he was
obliged to retire for a long rest to his In
diana home, and when he returned to Wash
tngton again II was evident to his friends
that .he splendid stock of vitality which had
always been his most valuable possession
could never be restored. AS time ran on
the senator himself began to appreciate this
fact and for some time had taken the ad-
vice OF his physician and friends and had
done everything possible to conserve his
health

WHAT IS YOUR TRADE?
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special Discnse.

Special Disease.
1t Is well known among medical men that
certain diseases are more readily developed
in certain occupations than In others. That
each occupation has It's attendant physical
weakness. Engineers, railroad men and
similar occupations suffer mostly from kid
ney troubles and men who are often exposed
to the weather suffer from rheumatism,
while clerks and professional men, in fact
the army Of people whose business keeps
them indoors. are oftentimes great sufferers
from piles and constipation In this con-
nection the. following letter is OF interest to
people whose occupation will not allow suf-
ficent outdoor exercise
Mr. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker of Circlevllle w.
Va, writes as follows:
/ had been a severe sufferer from piles
for years and had tried many remedies with
but little benefit, when about three years
ago saw the Pyramid Pile Cure advertised
and sent for 1t.
/ was badly afflicted when / got them.
but after only two applications the piles dis
appeared and from that day to this | have
never felt a symptom of the disease.
feel that / cannot recommend them too
highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is free from
cocaine opium or any mineral poison, abso-
lutely safe. pleasant and painless; sold by
druggists at SO cents per package. II there
is any constipation the Pyramid Pills should
be used with the pile cure. The pills are
25 cents per package
ANY druggist will tell you that the Pyramid
is the best known and most successful
and popular pile cure ever placed on the
market and Its reputation as a safe and
radical cure has only resulted from the per-
sonal recommendation OF people who have
been cured OF this distressing ailment.

Rescue Them.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 1O.-A special to the
Journal from Grand Forks, N. D., says: The
Red river is rising more than ever and a
still greater rise is looked for from Red Lake
river where a gorge has broken. Farmers
in towa from down stream say that between
this city and Pembina at least $50 families
are camped in the second stories OF their
dwellings and on top of their barns and
straw stacks together with all their cattle
that can be got up. On many farms cattle
stand three feet in water Good boats and a
Great Northern steamer will start out as
soon as they can be got ready and pro-
visioned for ten days, to rescue people and
stock in all the lower river section. Many
families near Grand Forks have been rescued
on RATS. A very little further rise will
drown stock for hundreds of miles.
At Pembina the water is rising an inch
an hour, but the waters from up the river
that have done such damage at Fargo and
Grand Forks have not yet reached them.
The conditions that will exist at Winnipeg
when the flood finally reaches there are
simply awful to contemplate.

Congressional Resolution Provides
for Issuing Supplies.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Secretary Alger
has received another response to his tele-
gram sent yesterday to the governors of the
overfowed states In the Mississippi valley, in
viting them to designate names of persons
to receive raticns for distribution. This
was from Governor Dan w. Jones of Ar
kansas and read as follows:
II am advised and beliave that the dis
tribution for sufferers from overfows in this
state should be to committees, and in money,
not in rations. i wrote you fully yesterday
and beg that you will await receipt of that
letter before action. If, however, you finally
conclude to issue rations only, then / will
cheerfully comply with your request con
tanned in your telegram Of today. | await
your further advices."
An inspection of the terms of the Joint
resolution under which the War department
Is acting in relieving the flood sufferers
demonstrated that the department was
bound to issue only ratlons; therefore Sec
retary Alger made the following reply to
Governor Jones' message:
WASHINGTON, April 10.-I am sorry
that aid cannot be furnished in money Our
officers will be on the ground and will fur
nish such supplies as are necessary as far
as possible"
There were no reports this morning from
the engineer officers along the Mississippi
which Is taken as sign that the situation
remains unchanged or at least that no fur
ther damage of importance has been sus-
tanned by the government works along the
banks of the river.

Pixies Peaks Great Tunnel.

Two gangs of Workmen have begun
digging in Colorado the longest tunnel
which man ever attempted to con-
struct. The main bore will be twenty
miles long, and connecting with this
are subsidiary tunnels with g total
length of thirty miles. So, In reality,
the task that has been put under way
Is that of digging fifty miles of tun
nels, and every foot Of this vast system
will be under Pixies Peak and the
mountains that tower on each side.
The starting point Of the main tun
mel is at the foot of the mountain lead
ing up to Pixies Peak, near the old
town Of Colorado City. This point Is
but short distance from the railroads
which span the country between Colo
RADIO Springs and Msnitou. From here
1t runs almost due southwest. The
further end of the tunnel is at the edge
of the mountains at FOur-mlle Creek,
over In Fremont County, Colorado, six
miles south of Cripple Creek, and near
the little town of Sunol. Two gangs
of men, ss stated, are working ON the
tunnel, one at each end, Just at pres
ent they are making progress at the
rate Of thirty feet day. 1t is believed
that the mammoth task they have un.
dertaken will be completed In seven
years from the fret of the present
month.
The main tunnel will pass directly
under the cone Of Pixies Peak at a
depth of nearly 1000 feet, and 2,700
feet beneath the town of Victor. It's
average depth from the surface will be
$500 feet, and it is designed to test the
mineral deposits of the territory at
these great depths. Thirty miles of
lsterals are contemplated, and these
will pass underneath all the Cripple
Creek district at an average depth OF
$500 feet. Cripple Creek, Victor, Gil
lette, the various small towns and a
Thousand mines are to Le made tribu-
tsry to this vast system Of subterra-
mean passages.
Under present circumstances the dis
tsnce-the shortest wsy-from Colo
rado Springs to Cripple Creek is fifty
four miles. By way of the tunnel the
two cities will be only sixteen miIes
apart.
1t is estimated by the contractors
that the average cost per foot Of exca-
vation will be $50. This makes the
total probable expense Of digging the
tunnel and its subsidiary branches
