Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because
they connot eat the food required to
nourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat poison
the blood. 1t is important to cure in
digestion as soon as possible, and the
best method of doing this is 10 use the
preparation known as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. 1t digests what you eat and re-
stores all the digestive organs to per-

The sentiment that the publication

The Town Flooded.

Late Saturday afternoon the streets
OF the town were flooded with water
from the foothills. The warm rain
melted the snow aud the water
rushed down from the hills III d
torrent OVERLOOKING the dIIch in the
.astern aart Of town and tearing
through the streets on the north side
of the railroad track. The culvert at
the Depot Hotel cross g was too
small TO carry the water and it
Laced up to the telegraph Office
making the street impossible. On
the south side OF the cuivert the water
backed and stood several feet deep.
AT n time 1t looked as II the Club
saloon, Mr.. Mayors adobe buildings
and Mr.. tlinton's blacksmith shop
would be flooded, hut this was pre-
vented by cutting channels through
the crossing and letting the food go
down the center Of the street. In the
eastern part Of own Mr.. Overman's
house WAS surrounded with water.
Mr.. Egger's yard would float a gun
boat, Mrs. fiarri-ou's yard was over
flowed, and considerable damage was
! done to cellars i'll that part OF town.
The railroad track WAS covered with
water for some distance east OF tie
Depot Hotel c~ulvert and WAS con-
siderably damaged.
Sunday here was no let up to the
water aud the streets were irnpass-
able. Today it is tbawing but little
and no water is rushing through the
streets. When it thaws again, the
water will rush through the streets
and do more damage. L his ought
not to be, but it will be until some
action is taken by the people Of the
town to protect it from floods.
The INDEPENDENT has no plan to
suggest or 40 appeal to make for bet
ter streets. 1t can manage somehow
to go with the tide and when some
enterprismg citizen starts a ferry on
the principal streets to accommodate
the public u will do ar others 10
get on board and nde.

IN LAW.

AL the insurance companies doing
business in Elko have notified their
agents tina; they Lave Withdrawn
from the State and to write no more
policies. The insurance law passed
by the present legislature over the
Governors veto is assigned as the
cause for this step. Policies issued
prior to January 81, 1901, the date on
which the law WIS passed. are not
affected by the Law. AL policies
written after that date will probably
be cancelled. This is an unfortunate
condition nf affairs, as it leaves the
property holders Of Elko absolutely
without any protection against loss by
tire.
Petitions are in circulation this
afternoon asking the legislature TO
repeal the law. Every property
oSner in town should sign them
Situated as we are here without any
effective means for fighting fire. every
man who owns property is personally
affected by this Jaw and all should
unite in an appeal to the legislature
to wipe II from the statute books,
Similar petitions will probably 81
from every town i'll the State and the
legislators will learn !rom them the
sentiments Of the people who own the
property and pay the taxes.
