THE FLOODS RECEDING.
Danger IN Ohio Valley Is Past, but Want
and Desolation Are Sadly
Manifested.

CINCINNATI. March 26.-Al over the
Ohio valley the sun shone yesterday
and the sky is clear and the weather
mild. As far as terror and loss of life
and property is concerned, that is all
over IN the interior or tribu taries of
the Ohio But the want and desola-
ton in the track of the storm are sadly
manifest. The greatest damage to
homes seems to have been at Day
ton and GAINESVILLE. In these two
places, hundreds of families have been
driven from their homes and made de-
pendent on public charity, which has
been bounteously bestowed. In Day
ton. one building ASSOCIATE has mort
cages on 200 inundated houses Many
of the occupants will lose their homes

Sickness!

Which is better, to thoroughly
cleanse and purify the blood just
now, or make yourself liable to
the many dangerous ailments
which are SO prevalent during
summer? Impurities have been
accommodating III the blood all
winter, and right now is the time
to get rid of them. A thorough
course of Swift's Specific is needed
to cleanse the blood and puri-
fy the system, toning up and
strengthening it all over. Those
who take this precaution now are
comparatively safe all summer;
but to neglect it is to invite some
form of sickness which is so COM
mon during the trying hot season.
It is now that a course of Swlft's

Dig down to the cause OF your
sickness, il you want to get well and
stay well. Most likely it's indiges'
ton. The irritating poisions of fer
menting, putrid food, left in the
stomach by indigestion cause head
ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi
ness, stomachache. nausea. irritabil.
ity, and all the other well.known
symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to
other causes and hence are not easily
cured. but as sson as the poisons
are removed, all these symptoms
aud disorders disappear, because
there is nothing left to cause them.
Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker
digestive Cordial, because 1t pre-.
vents the undigested food from fer
menting IN the stomach and helps
the stomach to digest it's food.

Do YOU know that over four million
dollars worth of poultry and eggs
were sold in Kansas, by the producers
of same, during 1898? This value
can be greatly increased in future
years by the farmers giving more at
tention to the industry. 1t costs no
more to keep profitable breed of
fowls than to keep scrubs. In all
kinds of live stock there are. some
breeds that are better then others;
some hens are better and more con-
slant layers; some are more markets
able birds. For the purpose of getting
poultry raisers and poultry breeders
together to discuss the different points
aud compare notes for mutual advan-
tage, the Barton County Poultry and

and it is hoped that the exhibition to
open Saturday will help to bring about
this result.

THE railroads of Kansas should
make some arrangement to handle the
future wheat and corn crops of the
state and not compel shippers to wait
from day to two weeks for a car after
it has been ordered q as was the case
this year. The car shortage in this
section of the state was serious
drawback to business interests of all
kinds, and hundreds of bushels of
wheat were damaged and lost by rea-
son of being piled on the ground.
Elevators were filled to overfowing
and everything that had roof on it
that could be utilized was used to store
wheat in. This state of affairs certain
ly ought not to exist again and the
railroads should take steps to build or
buy more box cars to haul future crops
without unreasonable delay.-Larned
