Many People Supposed to BE Drowned
at YOUNGSTOWN, o.

Many People Supposed to BE Drowned
at Youngstown, .,
Youngstown o., July 23.--At o'clock
sast night q terrific cloudburst struck
this town, flooding the entire valley
and causing great damage to property
both IN the city and along the railway
lines. Many people are supposed to be
drowned. The entire country east and
west for 20 miles was flooded, and the
damage will be enormous, the railroads
being the heaviest losers. The Erie
railroad west of Warren for Ia miles
and north of Sharon for the same dis
tance was entirely flooded out, and
orders were issued to discontinue all
trains. Many residences here were
flooded, and the occupants were taken
away by the police and fire depart
ments. The Mahoning Valley electric
lines were flooded out, and all the
bridges washed away.
The Catholic church at Niles was
struck by lightning at the same hour
and nearly destroyed by fire, while
business houses and manufacturing
concerns were flooded Henry Myers,
a tailor, while standing at his residence
on Mill street was struck by lightning
and killed instantly. He leaves a fam
lily. The excursion trains which left
here yesterday morning for Lake Erie
are ali sidetracked 80 miles out.
At about 10 o'clock last night the
water swept down the valley into the
city carrying everything that was not
fastened down before It, The bed of
the creek was not more than 20 feet
wide, but the flood spread out to
width of about 1000 feet. 1t rose
quickly, and in less than 30 minutes
the water was up to the second stories
of all the dwelling houses in the flood
ed districts and was still rising. It is
certainty that none of the people es-
caped from the houses, and almost a
certainty that many were drowned.

Prosperity is Here.

In its Thursday issue, that sterling
American newspaper, the New York
Sun, tersely sums up the business
situation in the following language
From all the great agricultural
states come reports OF tremendous
crops. From the same states come
reports of an improving financial
condition and Of large amounts
of Indebtedness discharged The
farmers of the United States will
have money to spend next fall, and
consequently trade and manufactures
of all kinds will be stimulated. The
country merchants will be able to
make large purchases, and the city
merchants will be able to dispose of
large stocks.
mot only are the big crops in
sight, but the work of transporting
them has already begun. The rail
roads are beginning or in few days
will begin to make money.
ut is expected that the Tariff bill
win be passed this week. Whether
it is or not, the long uncertainty
about the tariff is over Business
knows under what conditions it must
proceed, and it will proceed conf
dently, in harmony with the encourag
ing facts and prospects all over the
country.
''Prosperity for all is here, not a
prosperity of mere paper and hope,
but actual, tangible, resting on the
indisputable and convincing fact Of
agricultural prosperity, without
which general prosperity in this
country cannot to-day exist. The
days of croaking are past There is
work to do and money to be made by
everybody who is not loafer or an
incompetent The people Of the
United States are going TO work and
to make money The prophets of
disaster will find their occupation
gone. The politics Of disaster will be
made futile by this period Of good
times which has begun.

ASHORT STORY
In WilIlesbarre Life--Interesting to
the Public at Large.

Many a reader Of this in Wilkesbarre has
seen the large watch sign, that hangs out at
80 North Main street 1t is there to tell the
people who see it that Robert w. Haight,
Matchmaker etc. can be found at that lOca-
ton, and perhaps you may doubt the follow
ing in which case you can always find Mr.,
Haight at his address ready and pleased to
verify it, Matchmaking as il is called, is no
doubt thought to be a comparatively easy
business on the constitution of a man, but
this is not the case. The constant STOPPING
positions in time effect the action Of the
kidneys, and this is just what it did in the
case of Mr.. Haight, and he began to look for
a remedy that would relieve. AT last he was
rewarded. One day he read of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Nothing was claimed for
them, but that they were a kidney cure.
All the ills that flesh is heir 10 were not set
down rs being subject to their wonderous in
huencc, and this inspired confidence in them.
The symptoms described by kidney sufferers
were his symptoms. He began taking them.
Three or four doses brought a change, and
day by day he grew better, now he says 'I
am entirely over my trouble. Home remedies
/ have used, but found but little relief Of a
temporary nature. My greatest trouble was
lameue-s and stiffness i'm the back, with
sharp, shooting pains in the region Of the
kidneys ] consider DUans Kidney Pills "a
good and safe remedy and / recommend them
10 others" No better proof Of merit can be
offered than the plain facts as stated by
those who know by experience. Call on Mr.
Haight if you doubt this.
D0an's Kidney Pills are for sale by an
dealers. Price 80 cents. Mailed by Foster
Milbum Co., Buffalo, N Y. Sole agents for

A Wealthy Farmers House Invaded
Early In tho Morning.
Bridgeport. Conn, July 23.-Marcus
g. Nichols, an aged and wealthy farmer
residing in Daniels Farm, nine miles
north of this city was foully murdered
by two masked burglars at his home
early yesterday morning His sister,
Mary was seriously Shot, and the muir
dorcrs and thieves abandoned the
scene after ransacldug the house and
securing about $500 i'm money. The old
man had always borne the reputation
O: being wealthy, aud was reputed to
have concealed about the premises con-
siderable money, besides stocks and
bonds He was thought to be worth
100000
The brother and his maiden sister
slept i'm rooms ON the second floor Of
their house. At about j o'clock In the
morning Mr Nichols was awakened by
a suspicious noise. Miss Nichols was
also startled. and the two arose. and
lighting lamps proceeded to the lower
floor and waited. All of a sudden the
side door was burst open and two
masked men entered the room. As
soon as they discovered the presence
OF Mr. Nichols and his sister they
whipped out revolvers and one OF the
men fred at Nichols. the other at his
sister. The aged man fell forward
with bullet in his breast just over the
heart, and his sister sank to the floor
with a ball In her side. one of the
burglars sterped forward, according to
Miss Nichols who had not lost con-
sciousness, and lifting the unconscious
body of her brother to a chair, placed
i'm his mouth some liquor in which ne
placed a powder. A few seconds later
the old man slipped off the chair, fell
on his knees, dropped forward and died.
The burglars then removed Miss Mich
OILS to the kitchen and began to search
the house. Wounded though she was,
she decided to undertake to reach the
neiChbors, and had started for the
door when the men heard her They
announced their intention of killing her
II she attempted to leave the house.
Under threats she told them of the
hiding place OF her funds, and also dis
closed the SPOT where some of her
brothers money would be found The
burglars found about $500 In cash.
They left strewn all over the house
certificates of stocks, bonds and other
papers valued at about $4,000. Some
time after they left Miss Nichols gave
the alarm.

YOUR TIRED STOMACH.

81 hovo no appetite" you say, "and the
little I do cat does me no good. At first it
feels cold and dead in my stomach and by
and by have aches and pains that sometimes
go to my chest and back. l feel weak, low
spirited and out of sorts all over / fancy
the demon of dyspepsia has got me-" That's
the way you talk and no wonder. But wait
a moment. Let us reason together Perhaps
thus far your stomach is merely tired. You
have been eating too much, eating the wrong
things, and irregularly You have given it
too much to do, and like all living things,
when overworked, it stops at length from
sheer exhaustion. There may not be an
actually diseased condition as yet Still it is
natures warning, and you must heed it or
worse will follow But / must eat or
starve," you say. True enough, but safety
usually lies in middle courses. Here is one
for you. You don't need drastic purges or
exciting stimulants. Your condition is one
easily relieved if we 20 about it gently and
scnsibly. The tired stomach won't work
under whip and spur, 1t has probably had
too much of that already. What you require
is something that is at once food and a
digester of food Such an article is the
Shaker Digestive Cordial discovered and pre-
pared by the Shaker Community of Mt.
Lebanon n. Y. Taken right after eating, so
as to mix with the food, it does the stomach's
work for it, gives it the advantage of further
rest, strengthens you in natural way, and
soon enables the stomach to do full duty
There is nothing else like this simple, safe,
certain and palatable remedy. Yet the
Shakers respect your doubts, and authorize
druggists to sell trial bottle for ten cents.
