Any disease may be deadly enough
when you have no adequate means
at hand to confront it. Plenty of peo-
pie die every day of durable diseases,
simply because the stereotyped, routine,
senseless methods and remedies usually
employed are not halfway equal to the
occasion.
But when a truly scientific remedy like
DR.. Pierce's great Golden Medical Dis
covery" is brought to bear upon the
complaints which it is designed to cure,
it penetrates the tough hide-bound arinor
of obstinate disease with the same I'M
erring accuracy and power with which a
modern rifle penetrates a savage shield.

TIE TEXAS FLOOD IS STILL RAGING Waters of Trinity River Reach the Highest Stage
 in Years.

Fort Worth, Texas, September 2S-The Trinity river continued to rise all day, and Is fully thirty-five feet at this point. The overflow reached out more than mile re- sembling a mammoth lake, and Is from three to six feet deep. Much of the Cotton Belt track has been carried away. The Cot ton Belt depot Is surrounded with water, three or four feet deep, and all business is suspended temporarily. as trains cannot get into the yard or even within mile of them. The waters have interfered with their run ming of trains and street cars in the city. Service over the north side street car lines have been abandoned.
 It has been many years since the waters of the Trinity have reached such high stage. As yet no hfS of life has been re- ported, but the officers believe that pos- sibly some have perished below this city in the Trinity river bottoms by the unpre- cedented overflow. The people below here were notified of the great rise as they were at this point.
 Tn damage to farms along the river will be very great, possibly the loss will reach a total of $100,0o0. Last night water sur rounding the water works station was three feet deep. If the flood continues to rise much more, damage to the waterworks cannot be averted. The family of Capt Samuel Evans were saved from the swollen stream by friends who went to them with a rowboat. There have been several other naprow escapes.

strong an anti-Semite as she is and would be the leader of the ant-Semite party were he not a soldier.
 Meanwhile the countess had gained un- bounded influence over the present Kaiser in, to whom her first husband was related, She had gained, too, the firm friendship of the present Kaiser, then Prince William. She is the only woman, indeed, to whom his majesty has ever been known either to listen with serious attention, or to appeal for advice. In those troublous days that followed the old Kaiser's death, hardly day passed without his paying her a visit he would discuss social problems with her for the hour together-and whenever he appeared in public her husband was by his side.
 Naturally enough Prince Bismarck had from the first regarded the friendship be- tween Prince William and the Waldersees with scant approval; he went out of his way, indeed, more than once to treat the countess with marked rudeness. When he took to hurling sarcasm she was one of his favorite targets. It was not however, until Prince William was Kaiser that the old chancellor realized how formidable rival he had Then he soon became thor oughly alarmed; for not only did his Maj esty continue to lavish marks of his favor upon the count, but upon more than one occasion he turned pointedly from Bis marck to him for advice, and he insisted on taking him with him on a long yachting expedition. To make matters worse, cer- tain journals began to speak openly of Count Waldersee as the future chancellor. This was the battle-signal during the months that followed there was war to the death between Bismarck on the one side and the Waldersees on the other, and Bismarck carried the day.

 Up to the time of this marriage Count Waldersee devoted himself entirely to his military duties; under the influence of. his wife, however he began gradually to fake an active interest in politics. Countesf Waldersee is an American by birth; shs was a Miss Lee of New York and her nrst husband was a prince of Schleswig-Hol- stein She is one of the cleverest ana most audaciously ambitious women In all Europe and in the early eighties she was one of the most attractive. Even now although well advanced in years, sns IS sngularly charming, at once brilliant ana sympathetic. If rumor is to be relied on' no sooner was she married to Count wal dersee than she made up her mind that ne should be installed in Prince Bismarck s' place as imperial chancellor. -s

JAIL ATTACKED
 AT LAKE CHARLES A Louisiana Mob Fires and Fa- tally Wounds a
 Deputy Sheriff.

Houston, Tex, September 2S.-A special from Lake Charles, La, says:
 All day there were rumors of the prob- able lynching of Pierce Scott, a negro in jail here charged with criminally assault ing Miss Oswald, aged B, sister of Mrs. Judge German.
 About g o'clock an unmasked crowd crowd called for Sheriff Perkins and de- manded the keys to the jail In the mean time Judge Miller addressed the crowd, telling the men that the punishment of criminals must be left to the courts. He reasoned individually with the nephew of the negros victim and urged the crowd to oisperse, promising to take the case against the negro upin court tomorrow morning. On this promise the crowd broke up, and it was thought there would be no further a 'tempts by the mob.
 "At Il o'clock, however, fresh outbreak was made by the mob, who advanced to- ward the jail with an iron battering ram. D. S. A. Harmon and Paul Sloan, deputy sheriffs inside the jail, warned them to come no further, and then shot over the heads of the crowd, when some one in the mob fired at the deputies. Paul Sloan was shot and fatally wounded. He died at 11G this morning.
 ."The sheriff and deputies outside the jail then dispersed the crowd at the point of pistols and the members of the mob be- gan to call for the arrest of those who shot Sloan. Several members of the mob who were known to have been armed were ar rested"

 With Big Meeting at
 Aberdeen

Aberdeen, S. D. September 2S-Col.-w. kota at this place tonight. During the day MT. Bryan traveled 26O miles and made almost a dozen speeches. He began the day with a three-minute speech at Elk Point, and his first speech of length was made at Yankton. After this speech he made long addresses in the towns of Scotland Mitch ell, Woonsocket, Huron, Redheld and Ab- erdeen. The crowds were good at all the places at which the party stopped and especially so at this point and Mitchell At ankton the audience was not so large as it would have been but for a misunder- standing as to the time the place was to be reached.
 A feature noticeable at all the meetings of the day was the number of flags. dis played. They were small in size, but they were carried by almost every one at each stopping place in the State.
 At Redfield MT Bryan spoke for half an hour, dwelling especially upon trusts and the importance of preserving the American form of government in it's purity. MT. Bryan was met at the depot here by num- Der of flambeau clubs, probably compris- ing 800 or 1000 torches. There were also a number of bands in the procession, and many of the clubs carried banners bearing significant notices. The crowd was one of immense proportions, and was full. of enthusiasm from the beginning of the march to the close of the speech.
 MT. Bryan began by saying that he knew that the demonstration was not for him personally, but for the cause he represent ed. He took strong grounds for the election of the United States Senators by direct vote of the people, and promised if elected the next four years should see the enactment of law to that end. Contrasting the Denl- ocratic and Republican parties, MT. Bryan attacked the policies of the Republican party, which, he declared, stand for fnAn- cial, industrial and political despotisin and for the whole trust family. -
 'If," he con ntinued, "the head of the ,StaIle dard Oil trust insists upon voting a Repub- lican ticket, can't you take the hint and see that you should vote In oposition to it?
 Mir. Bryan attacked the per capita doc trne of money, saying that 1t was very de- lusve because of the fact that the weakh of the country is so unevenly distributed. He said it was time that the plain people of the Republican party should begin 10 consider their own interests and cease To support the party which is attacking those interests
 Tn response to an inquiry from the crowd, MT Bryan said that in dealing with the Philippine question he would not anticipate the possibility of a Congress not in sym pathy with himself in case of his election. In that event he was quite certain friend ly Congress would also be elected. At any rate" he said. "I am willing to tell you what my policy Is. 'Can you say as much for your President?"
 MT. Bryan left here tonight for North Dakota, where he is booked to make nine speeches tomorrow.
