SIOUX CITY, March Sl.-A hard rain
commenced here last night, and has been
falling ever since. The streams are
greatly swollen, and from further up the
Big Sioux and Missouri rivers reports OF
fresh overflows are coming in. Both
streams are rising here. From South Da-
kota towns near here similar conditions
are reported The Jim river is especially
troublesome above Nermilion. Many
miles of railroad track all over this Sec

be running regularly again for many
days.

WOMEN NEED NOT BE DISCOUR-
AGED

The nervous tension under which
most of our women constantly live af-
fects the female organism seriously.
Heavy household burdens, social gay
cites. work in some commercial estab-
lishment, any of these duties seem i'm
possible to women who are i'll and yet
they keep up for time under pressure
Of the demands upon them. When
they do break down, the advice and
treatment they receive from their fam
lily physician don't go to the root of
the trouble and they get no better
They are discouraged, worn out, tired
of life. The great specialist in wo-
mems diseases. Dr. Greene, of Nervura
fame, So West 14th Street, New York
City, has shown thousands of women
who thought themselves hopeless in
valids the way to health. His office
is open 10 all women for free consul
tation and advice, or if you. will write
him about your case, he will advise you
by mail absolutely free of all cost and
confidentially. The glorious remedies
discovered by this profound physician
are an invaluable boon TO women 1t
costs nothing to be put on the road to
health, and all ailing women should
write Dr. Greene at once.

A very funny farce is The Strange
Adventures of Miss Brown" and the
company which presented it at the
Grand Opera House last night is en-
tirely competent. The plot-there is
a plots intensely interesting. 1t
serves to put the prize pals in a series
of ludicrous situations, and to place
the audience in an uproar while they
are squirming to extricate themselves.
Will Rising, tenor singer who has
many admirers here, heads the cast,
and in his support are such clever peo-
pie as Roger Dollar. Walter Fletcher,
Mamie Scott and Lillian Kemble The
play made a decided hit last night,
and should crowd the theatre at each
performance during the remainder of
the engagement, which concludes Sat
urday night.

The attractiveness of cheap prices in

performances, will be made manifest at
the Opera House next week during the
engagement of Thomas D. Van Osten's
Three-Star Comedy Company. Cheap
prices in this instance means the rock
bottom, 10, 20 and 80 cents scale of

joys public confidence in an extraordf-

emphasis that there will be no higher

THE cErCIAN COLLAPSE.

The apparent collapse of the Grecian
struggle inevitably recalls the couplet:
IF l was to be so soon done for,
j wonder what l was begun for.
Seemingly. the Grecian armies are not
only defeated in battle. but rout and
DISCRIMINATION have set in, Anarchy
and revolution are threatened in the civil
administration. and 1t looks as though
what was an organized nationality few
days back is TO become helpless popula-
ton without any framework for its So
,icty.
This whole imbroglio has peen mys-
terry from the time it was set on foot.
No one was ever able to understand why
Greece should have provoked this war
with Turkey. for it is a case in which
the Turks have been or the defensive all
the time. until actua. hostilities com
menccd. and the Greeks were the ag-
gressor all through in bringing the hos
tilities on.
Turkey is known to be a badly disor-
gained Power. whose administration is
corrupt. and whose resources are rot
easily controlled. NevfCne,ess. she is a
Power Of some thirty millions Of people.
and her citizens make a. good soldiers as
any In Europe. Twenty years ago she
withstood the whole gigantic rover of
Russia In war that cxtorted from the
world unstinted admiration for the heroic
qualities OF her soldlery. 1t was well
known that she had q thoroughly-equip-
ped standing army four or five times as
numerous as any force Greece could put
In the field. with great reserves 20 draw
upon in case that standing army was not
sufficient for the emergency.
Under these circumstances It was simply
incomprehensible that Greece should
have forced Turkey to make war upon
her. The world could not understand It.
and cannot understand II yet.
That Greece was actuated TO her course
by some unseen influence. the world. with
great unanimity. concluded. and we are
not yet able to disabuse our mind Of the
idea that such was the case. The game
that is being played. If any really is being
played. is a deep one. and we may yet
have to wait some time for the final trick
to be taken. But IT need surprise no one
II tho end is not yet. and II stirring times
are sim ahead.

THE BENEFITS or MACHINERY.

The idea that machinery Is an enemy
10 the laborins man e. entirely erroneous
That which lessons mans labor and makes
life's toll easier and life itself more enjoy
able Is a blessing to mankind. and not 10
one class only. hut 10 all classes. This
Is day Of cheap things. and their cheap
ness is largely Cue TO improved machin
cry. In the workshop. I'm the household
on the farm everywhere we have machines
TO DO work that was formerly done with
with great labor by hand. so that what
was once a drudgcry becomes IN many
instances almost a pleasant exercise.
A Philadelphia paper in speaking Of the
era OF low prices mentions the fact that
. pair OF sleeve buttons. collar stud and
three shirt studs may now be purchased
in that city for five cents The same
paper then gees on to say that bridge

the purchasers at a price which is less
than what was the first cost very few
years ago OF the raw material
Now Il IL clear that when by the use
OF machinery the cost OF production Is so
largely reduced. the consumption should
be increased in the same proportion, for
a man can better AFFORD TO buy three
pounds OF sugar Il four cents pound.
than one pound OF sugar at fifteen cents.
Under proper conditions therefore. ma
chincry should result. and will result in
increasing consumption In proportion as
the price decreases. We think that
II will be found that few man.
ufacturlng establishments in ordi-
nary times have reduced their working
force by reason of the introduction OF ma
chinery. They have simply increased
their output. and have employed almost
as many people at the machines. as they
formerly employed to do less work by
hand. To take an illustration with
which we are familiar, we thing that It
could be shown that the newspapers of
the country employ almost If not quite
as meny men in their composing rooms
now. as they did before the introduction
Of type-setting machines. What they
have done has been largely to increase
their output. and the paper which only
few years ago appeared daily In four
page form. now appears daily in eight
page form, with a man,moth edition of
twenty pages or more on Sunday. The
printer has not been hurt. and the owner
Of the paper has saved very little. If Is
the purchaser who has been benefited.
lie gets more than ever for his morey.
We do not pretend to deny that many
laboring men are now out Of employment.
but we do not believe for a moment that
improved machinery IS responsible for
It. Indeed We believe that If the ma
chinery OF the world was destroyed to-
day. and the country should return TO
hand Ia cor. workingnen would be the
greatest sufferers. For some reason. no
body knows exactly what. the country
has fallen upon a season CT hard times
But prosperity will return and when 1t
does all the machinery of the country and
more will be humming to supply the de-
mand for its products. When that day
comes. and we hope it is not far ahead,
every man who honestly desires employ
ment will find it. and he will also find
that machinery is his best friend, not his
enemy.
