A Lewiston Genius.

Lewiston has II yeritable guniu. in
Joe Cock fourteen year old boy He
has in operation at the home of the
family a saw mill complete with per-
feet steam appliances all made with
his own hands without other facilities
than the odds and ends from the scrap
piles about the city machine shops.
He has had no tools or furnace but he
has built from scraps this complete
saw mill, run by an engine Of his own
make, with steam feed and all modern
appliances Of an up-to-date lumber
factory.
In addition to this he has compete
crew of little men selected from his
playmates and each is schooled in his
duties from the bookkeeper down to
the slab bucker Every department
about the elaborate establishment is
duly engaged in effective work and 70
sham about it. This genius has no
room in his busy brain for book learn
ing. He scorns the idea of wasting
time in learning to read but he knows
much of the book of nature mechanics
and the laws of matter seemingly by
intuition. He can make the most
delicate parts of toys or machinery
almost without the use of mechanical
appliances.

The loss in the city of Cincinnati by the
recent high water is in excess OF $500, 900.
THE country along every water course in
Central aud Southern Indiana, presents a
scene OF unprecedented devastation The
high water began to recede last Sunday and
1t Is apparent that the reported damage was
little more than forecast OF the destruc-
ton OF railroad property. One hundred and
thirteen bridges and trestles over rivers,
creeks and gulleys are either washed away
or so badly misplaced that it will require
many days to make passable the railroads
centering in Indianapolis.

northwest, indicate that the worst snow

leys. Everything depends on the tempera
ture OF the next ten days.

The reply of Greece to the notes of the
powers, delivered at Athens last Thursday,
insisting upon the withdrawal of the Greek
troops from Crete and OF the Greek fleet
from Cretan waters, was received at London
on Monday. The reply is regarded in Of
fetal circles there as being of most favor
able nature, and it is believed that the
crisis will now soon be ended, as the Greek
note at least furnishes basis upon which a
compromise, satisfactory to all concerned,
can be speedily reached.
JESUS CAMPEcHK, who died last week in

Of his death. He was living with his great,
great grandson and had in his possession
copies Of the church register at Valladolia,
Spain, showing the date Of his birth and

Mrs. G. c. Newcomb of St. Louis finds
herself " a new woman" in the best seuse
of the word
An invalid woman is always sad sight
sadder even than that of an invalid man.
because of her greater capacity for suf ring.
Neuralgia, backaches, fits of depression
and headaches compel her to think or work
with half her brain, while the other half
throbs as If it would go to pieces. There
are no more striking examples Of the great
practical value of Paine's celery compound
than are heard from the lips OF women who
have been made well.
Its ability to relieve those ills that seem
to be peculiarly the misfortune of women is
overwhelmingly proven by innumerable
testimonials from women of the highest
standing in the communities where they
live.
