The rhilomatl,ean Anniversary.

The philOMatllean Anniversary.
A largo audience greeted the ami
versary program of the Philomathean
Literary society Monday evening.
There is usually much merit in the
programs given by this society and
on this occasion they presented some
good things. After the organ number
by Mr.. Hall. which began the program
and showed the performers skill with
: keys, stops and swells to good advan-
tage, came j. +. Catlin's Grafton on
"Character.' Though the subject mat
ter was creditable, the orator:had failed
to memorize his production and the ef-
feet was thus lessened. A dialogue,
between two "Rival Orators" which
grew out of one of them forgetting his
speech at the proper time and trying
to usurp the rights of declaimer, was
presented with spirit by j. G. Stanley
and Lee Farnsworth. Farewell to
Seniors" was the title of an original
poem written and read by o. W. But
terfield. It was admonitory and didactic
and left a good impression on the
minds of those whom the society was
honoring. L. X. Snively recited ''vas
Bender Hensphecked?" in the proper
way, bringing out the humor of the
Bender logic quite effectively. Miss
Mamie Smithson presented the horo-
scope of the graduating class in q
"Prophecy," dated some time in
1910 aud telling what each had
achieved. Three excerpts from the
csntata, "The Fishermaidens," we're
then given under the direction of Miss
Pinder, the violinist. The cast was
made up Of Misses Stanley, Fasset and

The latest rumor from Washing ton
reports that Schley had entered Santi-
ago bay and had engaged the shore
batteries in his quest of the Spanish
squadron under Cervera. The report,
however, lacks confirmation, but 1t is
believed that q great naval battle is
near at hand between the opposing
fleets in Santiago bay or has already
taken place.

Miss McDonald's Graduating Recital.
Wednesday evening occurred the
graduating recital of Miss Luella Nc
Donald. She was assisted by Miss Nc
Dole and Miss Bernice kridelbaugh
who sang a very pretty duet. Miss
Kridelbaugh also sang delightful
solo. The program was made up of
some very difficult numbers and Miss
Mcdonald played them in manner
which showed to good effect the train
ing she has received. She was greeted
enthusiastically, indicating the esteem
in which she is held by her fellow
students, and was the recipient of
many beautiful floral tokens and gifts
from friends showing their pleasure
and qualification in her graduation.
The chapel was beautified with flowers
and foliage and the platform gracefully
draped with the class colors, purple
and gold-but the charm of the even
ing was in the enthusiastic interest
the audiense took in the finishing
work of the graduate, just leaving her
alma mater to face the realities of life.

diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
IL in n more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful 10 the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on

Flood Tells of Horrors of the
Situation.

Paducah, KY, April 5.-When death
swept down upon Shawneetown on the
crest of a mighty flood there were
few who watched its progress and lived
to tell the story. One of these eye
witnesses has reached Paducah. The
scene he beheld and the sounds he
heard will linger like a nightmare In
his memory for many n day. Ed Wal
ton left Shawneetown late Sunday
night and reached here Monday, com
Ing the latter part Of his journey by
rail- Possibly of all those in Shawnee
town he had the clearest view of the
disaster.
Walton says the wall OF water, 90
feet high, came without warning. The
first intimation he had was when he
heard a roaring behind him TO the
north as he lounged along the bank OF
the main levee. Then he saw the yellow
torrent of rushing waters coming. He
declares that IL looked like a low hill.

ing sides and the crest OF the food
the top. Walton was near wharf
boat. Realizing what had happened he
ran for that and reached its deck as
the waters began to fill the streets and
yards OF the wellkept place. Before
the citizens OF the community could
realize their doom. the yellow water
was pouring into second-story win
dows. Whole families died together.
Husbands went down 10 death with the
cries Of their wives and babies ringing

Walton saw one man slide Oft float

some floating wreckage, and both per-
ished before his eyes. A few strong
swimmers saved themselves, but for
the women and children and older per-
sons there was no help. Some who
gained pieces OF drifting debris kept
their heads above water for little
while, but most OF them finally per
ished. Some OF the folks seemed TO
grow crazy and drowned themselves
when they might have escaped. When
the flood stopped there was hardly
dry foot OF land anywhere.
II was not long before the slliffs and
RATS were out picking up those on
roofs and on the high ground Out on
the edge of town, where most OF the
survivors went. there was nothing to
eat and no shelter. The women and
children were all crying and run
ming around looking for their families.
After IL got dark IL was worse than
ever, because all the lights were out.
