Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as men. The womb is situated
back of and close to the bladder, and for
that reason any distress, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often
by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble OF some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty tour hours; sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need docloring. 1t you have
pain or dull achirg in the back, pass
water too frequently OF scantY supply,
with smarting or burning-these are also
convincing proof of kidney trouble. If
You have doctored without benefit, try

Caused by the Breaking of a Levee on
the Ohio RIVER.

Caused by the Breaking of Levee on
the Ohio River.
Carmi, ILL.,, April Shawnee
town, a place of 1900 inhabitants
near here, was wiped out of existence
by levee burst just before dark
Sunday evening.
The break in the Ievee was very
large and within an hour every yes.
tige of the town was gone.
It is believed that $50 of the peo
pie were caught in the sudden food
and drowned. Hundreds of others
were swept into the Ohio, elinging
to the roofs of houses or floating on
pieces of board.
Few of them were rescued and it
is believed that one-third of the
towns population will be lost.
The disaster came when a great
majority of the people were in their
homes eating supper.
The break in the leyee occurred a
mile above the town and was within
ten minutes more than half a mile
wide. A stream Of water twelve to
twenty feet deep carrying half of the
current of the food-raised Ohio, de-
scended on the unsuspecting people.
It came down in a great rush, like
tidal wave. There was no slow
rising of the waters to give warn
ing. The houses on the outskirts
were lifted up and rolled over and
over. Most of them were torn into
splinters. The Inhabitants were
drowned in the mud.
FIRE ADDS TO THE HORROR.
After few minutes the horror of
the situation was added to by the
catching fire of a large house that
had started down stream with the
others.
The people on the roofs were al
ready in danger of being thrown off
by collisions with other floating
houses, but the appearance of this
floating firebrand added horror. As
it struck one house after another in
its zig-zag course soms caught fire
and their unfortunate people were
compelled to entrust themselves to
the mercy of the swirling water on
pieces of wood.
The break in The leves flooded
four miles of the valley land and cut
off communication on two railroads,
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwest

The following is clipping from the
Livingston, (Montana, Post. Judge
Lilly arrived here last week on an
extended visit to his daughters Mrs
W. p. Sewer and Mrs. Hanley Clark.
Judge Jno P. Lilly, one of the
best known and most highly respsc.
de old-time residents of Montana, left
Saturday morning, intending to visit
two of bis daughters who reside in
Butler, Mo. 1t is not definitely
known how losg Mr.. Lilly will re
main in Missouri, but he will hardly
return inside of year. Judge Lilly
came from Missouri to Montana in
1864, and engaged il mining in En-
igrant gulch. For many years he
has resided on farm on the Upper
Yellowstone and has been ressona-
bly, successful in bis farming opera
tions. He is one of the most pains
taking and Industrious men in the
state, and although he has done lots
of hard work in his day, yet he is
well preserved for a man who is in
his 79th year. From the fac.s that
the Judge took his Winchester fiji .
along with him it is surmised that
he has designs upon the Spanish
army which now invests Havana.
His friends here wouldn't be rur
prised should the Judge offer his
services to the United States gov
ernment in casa actual hostilities
break out with Spain, for he 10 noted
for his patriotism and Workmanship
and would give a good account of
himself as soldier. He comes of
good fighting stock. He was born
in Kentucky, reared in old Missouri
and finished his education in the
state of Montana. An army of 20,
900, composed of such men as Judge
Lilly, would whip the Spanish army
and give freedom to Cuba in less
than 80 days.
