The marks on the wharf at midnight
showed 9 feet and rising.
All the boats in and out yesterday
had very fair trips, taking everything
into consideration.
Tomorrow C. & P. packets are the
Queen City for Pittsburg at a. m.
and the Keystone State for Cincinnati
at s a. m.
The ice started to pass this point
yesterday, and although it was not so
very heavy it was forming very rapid
ly. It was not heavy enough yester-
day to interfere with the packets. but
all the towboats on the way home
with empties were compelled to seek
the bank. Several boats that passed
this point Saturday will endeavor to
reach Pittsburg by dragging their
tows in. The ice gorged in the Back"
river yesterday. which will spoil the
skating If The coll snap continues.

death turns aside and whose 6rst-born es-
cape unscathed while the children of others
perish. The chosen people are the healthy
people. Nine-tenths of the deaths among
children are: due to the ill-health of the
mothers during the period preceding moth
erhood. Every woman owes it to herself hei
husband and her children to keep herself
healthy in womanly way. She should
thoroughly understand her own physical
makeup. She should realize the import
tance of keeping the organs of womanhood
k,healthy and vigorous. She can only do this
by taking proper care of herself and using
the proper remedy for weakness or disease
of those organs.
The best remedy forweakness or disease of
the organs peculiar to women is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It is truly wonderful
in its effects on the female organism. 1t
allays inflammation, soothes pain and re-
stores health and vigor. Get it at the drug
gist's and take no substitute. Your health
and your children's health depend upon it.
Since wrote you we have had baby girl born
to us" writes w. R. Malcolm, of Knobel Clay Co.,
Ark. MY wife took your Golden Medical Dis:
covery' and also your Favorite Prescription all
during the expectant period and until contine-
ment. and she had no trouble to mention. A
stouter, healthier child was never born. Our
child will be year of age the 8th inst and she
has not been sick day. Has not had so much
as the collie"
Every woman in America should own a
copy of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser In its 1908 pages she will find plain
talks about all sorts of ailments. These talks
are made palmer by copious illustrations.
About 90 pages are devoted to woman's dis
eases and weaknesses. There are sugges-
tons for me-treatment. This book has
already gone into more than million
homes. The original price was 81. 50. Now

tofore been done. Those who do not
understand the custom heretofore pre-
vaiIing in this county in regard to ad.
vertieing delinquent taxes may come
to the conclusion that Treasurer Nc
Bride and Auditor Watkins failed to
do their duty so FAR as the ADVERTISE
men: OF this property and the inclu.
sion of fee for an au litor's certifi-
cate are concerned. This is not so as
these officers merely followed the
presidents established by their pre-
decessors in Office. Now that the
court has passed upon these ques
tons there will be no mistakes made
III the future by these officers. The
county gains by the decision as the
property Of the plaintiffs is now sub

gains the sum of S249, taxes for 1897,
