IA cloudburst in the Pocahontas coal
fields in West Virginia destroyed hun
dreds of lives and millions of dollars
Of property Sunday. The wall OF
water swept through narrow noun
tain valley already flooded by thirty
three hours of continuous, heavy
rains. Two ridges of the Allegheny
Mountains hemmed it in and helped 1t
to gather force. It swept dozen busy
towns. It destroyed many miles OF
railroad tracks and telegraph lines. 1t
tore from the hillsides the outer build
ing of hundreds of coal mines, and II
carried locomotives and trains of cars
down the valley. The cataclysm
crushed and drowned the inhabitants
by hundreds as they struggled to es-
cape up the mountain sides. The loss
of life is estimated at 400. The loss to
railroad and mining property Is at
least $4,000, 900 and the loss to other
property probably as much more.
These figures are. however. merely
approximations, for communication
with many of the villages is yet I'M
possible.
Fearful Loss Is Possible.
The flood may prove to have been
more disastrous one to life than the
YOUNGSTOWN horror, and the list of the
dead may mount into thousands, or it
may be that there was sufficient warn
ing to permit the escape Of the great
majority Of the people. Reports from
many places indicate, however, that
hundreds OF bodies are floating down
with the flood. The difficulty of get

enemy as he looked at the good sword
on the wall and vainly tried to raise the
impotent arm.
Words it has been said are fossil his
tory. The Roman naturalists christened
the leopard leoba,dns because they sup
posed the spotted creature was the joint
offspring of lion and tiger. So the name
leopard, embalms ancient ignorance and
preserves it like a fly in amber.
It is the same with the word rheuma-
tism. Its name implies that it was sup
posed to be sort Of rheun, catarrhal
affection, such as results from a cold.
And while the treatment for rheumatism
was based on that theory it was small
wonder that cures were infrequent. To-
day we locate the cause of rheumatism
in the blood and we drive it out scien-
ti6cally by the use of Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
THE MODERN TREATMENT.
vQuite number of years ago, when I
was girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed Of sickness,p writes
Mrs. P. NJ. Wheeler, of No. Ann Place,
Bradford, Penna. wHe had rheumatism
and complication of troubles which
baffied the skill of three of our best
physicians. All through the winter
months he lay upon his bed, suffering
severely at times with rheumatism in his
limbs. While in this condition PAM
phlet containing description of DR..
Pierce's remedies fell into his hands. I
remember of his sitting up in bed and
reading it through and then exclaiming,
That medicine is just what need =
Just then neighbor came along who
was going to town and we sent for
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. We laid aside the doctcr's
medicines and commenced giving my
father the Golden Medical Discovery,
according to directions. The first three
days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His
Els Condition ns and nd eandidly admitted that
the Golden Medical Discovery was
doing more for him than he had been
able to do. In less than two weeks my

The canvas of the County for
the signers of the consent petition
was completed and filed with the
County Auditor Saturday evening
Before filing the petition the ga
loon men made what they thought
was a careful count of the names
on the petition and according to
their count the petition was signed
by nearly $500 of the legal voters
of Harrison County. Although the
County Board OF Supervisors will
not meet until the First of April
a count made by the County Aud
itor yesterday revealed the fact
that instead of having names to
spare the petition lacked ISL
names of being sufficient for the
legal requirements. The total
number Of signatures appearing
on the petition is 4,OO3 while the
necessary 65 per cent of the votes
cast at the last election amounting
to $3.50 is 4 l54. Early this morn
ing the petition was withdrawn
and it will now be necessary to
make an entire recanvass of the
County. Numerous legal techni-
calities are liable to arise as there

learned that another petition can
not be filed until the June session
