THE RISING MISSISSIPPI
The Ohio River Flood Rushing Down
to the Big River,
PEOPLE DRIVEN FROM HOMES.

While the situation at Cincinnati and
other Ohio River Points Is Reassur-
Ing, Reports From the Mississippi
Are Alarming.
Cincinnati, March 2S-Unless rain
should come Copiously and quickly, tho
present freshet of the Ohio river will
very soon pour the great flood into the
Mississippi river From Portsmouth
up it is falling, while at all points be-
low to Cairo it is rising. Here at Gin
cinnati the current is unusually swift,
which indicates that the access of
water from tributaries below had di-
minished greatly and given free course
to the piled up waters above. In the
lowlands of Cincinnati nearly a thou
sand houses are flooded from one to
four feet. Some have been abandoned.
In two story houses families remain
i'm the upper stories. OF flooded houses
500 are i'm and about Cumminsville from
backwater in Mill creek where the
inudation is more annoying than seri-
Gus. In and about Columbia, the eX-
treme up river limit of the city, 400
houses are flooded. At Riverside, the
extreme down stream limit of the city.
100 houses are affected about as at
Columbia. Some people occupy tents
on the highlands.
on the Kentucky side the inhabitants
of lowlands near Dayton and Bellvue
have been placed in the same un-
pleasant situation as their Cincinnati
nelghbors. No railroad in Cincinnati
has been disturbed by the flood except
that some have been deprived of the
use of the Grand Central depot Thus
far no casualties have been reported,
and the damage is over so far as this
section is concerned. Reports from
Mississippi river points, however, are
alarming.
St Louis, March 2S.-Specials from
river points say that at Illiopolis, Ills,
the Wabash railroad bridges on both
sides of the town are washed out and
the families living in the Sangamon
bottom have been obliged to leave their
homes. At Virginia, Ills, the adjacent
lowlands are flooded six to eight feet
deep doing great damage. Petersburg,
his, reports more than 30 families
driven from their homes. over half
the city of Charlottesville, Ills, is under
water.
A special from Hannibal, Mo-, says
that that part of the city along Bear
creek is under water, making travel
impossible except in skiffs or vehicles.
Both the city and the Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas railroad dykes gave way,
flooding a section two miles long and
arousing the sleeping inmates, who
barely had time to escape. There were
many narrow escapes, and had it not
been for the prompt assistance ten
dered by those who owned boats many
would have perished. Many poor fam
lies are made homeless, with their
household goods destroyed. Fortunate
ly there were no fatalities.

The Youths Contended with oratory, but
the Girl Was Married.
II was the last week Of the Dallas fair
and the officers had sot apart day for the
colored people. The departments of in
dustry were represented with the advance
ment of the race along various mechanical
lines, but it is in music and oratory that
these children of nature shine, and was
an interested spectator ut the auditorium
where they gave their entertainments The
stage, like most platforms in buildings Of
similar character, was deep and wide, and
when the long shadows of the afternoon
lay across it only the occasional flashing OF
teeth and eyeballs assured me that there
was living background of performers.
An old man, white locked and dignifled

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

a fact often overlooked, or not always under
stood, is that women suffer as much from dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, and for that reason
any distress, disease or inconvenience mani
Tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe-
male weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty
four hours a sediment or settling is evidence
that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the back
pass water too frequently, or scanty supply,
with smarting or burning,-thesc are also con-
vincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DIR. Kilmer' S
Swamp-R Root, the great kidney remedy. The
mild and the extraordinary effect will surprise
you. 1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. If you take medicine you should take

We arein receipt OF the following
communication, and as it bears upon

our borough government, we give it
space in our columns
ED. HERALD l notice the appropriation to the
Board OF Health has been increased. VIII you
tell the public why this is done? Judging from
the work OF that body, and that Of the Health
Officer it should he decreased. The record OF
births, marriages and deaths may be necessary,
but why not require the Health oicer to have
certain hours to devote TO his work and see that
he performs it. The Board Of Health is an ex-
pensive luxury, and it should he abolished or
give something in return for the expcnditur
MINER.
Shenandoah, March 90, 1898
While the Board OF Health, or
rather its salaried officials, do not
meet the expectations of the people,
yet we believe our correspondent is
somewhat severe in his criticisms.
The annual appropriation was in
creased from $3.50 to $500, for the very
good reason that it required the
latter amount TO meet the expenses
of the Board last year In making
the appropriations, we understand,
aDC SOubtll was bONti lith
by the expenditures last year That
the Board 'is an expensive luxury"
is true; but this is due to the reluct-
ancy Of the Board in putting the
screws on its salaried officials-men
who are paid to perform certain
duties.
For the past two or three months
the Board has been considering the
the present time it has resulted in
nothing but talk Every member of
the Board will acknowledge that IA
move in this direction is proper, yet
with each succeeding meeting, for the
past three months, the subject is de
bated without definite action. The
President, at the meeting last week,
complained that it was impossible to
secure the services of business man
to act as milk inspector This i'm
plies the creation of another office
and it goes without saying that we
have sufficient sinecures in this town
already.
Three or four years ago this subject
was before the Board, and the Bor-
ough Council purchased alactometer,
at the Boards suggestion, and the
instrument has never been used. At
that time the Health Officer was TO
inspect and test the milk sold here,
There is no good reason why he
should not do so now. 1t certainly
comes within the scope OF his duties,
and no one will have the hardihood
TO say that he hasn't the time to de
vote to this work. The Board should
do one OF two things adopt a motion
instructing the Health Officer to in
spect the milk consumed here, or
cease debating the question.
1t is true, Shenandoah's sanitary
condition is not OF the best. This
being acknowledged, there is plenty

TERRIBLE DISASTER TO SEALERS

Twenty-Five Dead, d,Tweuty-three NJ IsS-
Ing and Twenty VIII Lose Limbs.
St. Johns. n. T., March 2S.-The seal
ing steamer Greenland, which put into
Bay de Verde Saturday night with a
story of terrible disaster to her crew
on Wednesday and Thursday, while
among the ice foes in search of seals.
arrived here yesterday afternoon. She
reported % men dead, % missing and Ct
so fearfully frostbitten that about 20
of them viii lose their limbs. The
colony is aghast at the magnitude of
the disaster, nothing lMe which has
ever been known here. Already a re-
lief fund has been started to assist the
relatives of the deceased.
The Greenland drove ashore in Bay
de Verde Saturday night during a
heavy gale, her anchor chains parting,
but she got off again without serious
damage. She had another narrow es-
cape while making st. Johns harbor,
owing to an imperfect compass and a
thick fog. A man who was watching
her from the rigging of a vessel nearby
fell to the deck and has since died from
his injuries.
The Greenland has $4,000 seals. She
reports that the Aurora has 1S,000 the
Diana 1900 and the Iceland 11,000.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from II mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition SAYS "woman must suffer-"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and u great deal
of eNaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets 1t.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to n physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so 1kSS/1at l
had to leave school. - "a all the
time, and had dreSWpains in my
side and back. Nrs also troubled
with irregYlS@ of menses. i was

my ~Ns became alarmed. My
mW, who is n firm believer in your
Redies from experience, thought per-
Fhaps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as
sver was. have gained flesh and have
good color. am completely cured O.

Arson TO Hide rripIc Murder.

Atlanta, Ga, March 2S-Fremen re-
spending to an alarm at an early hour
yesterday morning found the bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. IL. Briley, white,
and Robert Wilkinson, colored, in
store at IS Humphries street, which
was being rapidly consumed. The
bodies were gotten out without being
marred by flames All were horribly
mutilated, having been murdered with
two heavy hatchets and a meat knife
which were found on the floor. Mr..
Briley was the proprietor of the store,
and it is believed that robbery was the
motive. The police have made a num-
ber of arrests
