so many different features. Cities az

of the worst snoWsturms ever known.
While the snowfall was from Is inches

the snow was 81 wet that ii Clung in

them to the earth. 1t settled on steam

ping all traffic and making pcdcstrianism
feat for only the most hardy. The
fall was 50 heavy and spontaneous in
come places that the residents declare it
seemed like the bursting of Il Snowcloud.
\ few miles away from these unfor-
tunatc towns were municipalities in just
SIS dire straits from rain, but with
speedier prospect for relief, as the rain
will run off faster than the snow can
melt. vet here traffic was practically sus-
pended. Water overlooked and washed
out railroad tracks. and hill>idcs came
down and buried the rails. I'm addition
nearly every town on the Ohio river be-
tween pittsburg and Wheeling was in
darkness last night. Electric light plants
or their wires are damaged, and the gas
in the mains is generally turned off.
The money loss is just as difficult tn
foot up. IT may reach S3OOO,OOO The
railroads think they have lost 81 ,OOO.00O.
The loss of wages to the army of work
crs in manufacturing plants up and down
the rivers will mount up to 5000, 900. and
the repairs to plants will be Il large sum.
The damage to stores, stocks, residences
and furniture in Pittsburg, Allegheny
and towns and cities down the Ohio will
probably reach 100000. The telegraph
companies have suffered severely, but
cannot yet compute their loss.
In addition there is the enormous indi-
rect damage caused by the almost com
plete suspension of trade. What that
amounts to no one can determine exactly,
and estimates simply reflect the conserv-
alive or radical character of the COM
putcr.
The submerged districts in Pittsburg
and Allegheny are Il scene of abjcct mis-
cry. Cellars and in some instances the
first floors of stores and dwellings are
covered with water Where the flood
has subsidized it has left behind greasy
yellow scum two to three inches deep.
At Carnegie borough six miles from
Pittsburg, the loss is estimated at S4O.-

Fortune Lost at Faro.

NEW YORK. April 19.-Dc>pite the
fact that gambling is supposed to be a
lost art in New York, one of the heaviest
faro games ever played in the state be-
gan in an up town resort early last Mon

and it was the bank that was the win
ner. The loser turned over cash to the
amount of several thousand dollars and
drew his check for 100000 ut the con-
clusion of the game. The check was
presented at the bank for payment Tues
day and was promptly cashed. The
loser is one of those concerned in the
formation of the steel trust, and his
wealth is So great that he will be in
conVcnicnced in no manner by his loss.
His name is well known in Wall street.
He is Il prominent figure in the corridors

BLOCKS WE STAND ON,
What can be Done When Foundations
Weaken.

Mr.. Joseph Coldwell, of Matteawan, N.
Y, suffered from some digestive malady
He felt heavy and tired. The relish for
his meals was gone and food didn't taste as
it used to. When he did eat he had pain
in the stomach, chest and sides, bad taste
in the mouth, spells of giddiness and other
wretched feelings. The foundations of
health were growing shaky under Mr.. Cold
well.
Mrs. NJ. Maggie of the pleasant village of
Monroe, N. Y, was upset and worried with
loss of appetite and dizziness. She had
all the wearing, distressing symptoms
which go with her complaint. She was
feeble and weary. The pedestal of health
rocked under her feet.
Yet, these people were completely cured
by Calcura Solvent, n new medicine dis
covered by DIR. David Kennedy. How
clearly these instances show us that good
health is the block we must stand on if we
would be happy and useful. Watch the
early signs of i'll health, and use Calcura
Solvent before disease has cast you down
utterly.
If your druggist is out of Calcura Sol
vent, send $1.O0 to DR.. David Kennedy,

WAR IN MANCHURIA.
Renewed Military Activity Between
Chinese and Russians.

LONDON, April 23.-A ccording to n
dispatch from ST. Petersburg to The
Daily Mail, official information has been
received that renewed military activity
is beginning in Manchuria. Chinese troops
are strongly intrenched at three points
around Mukdcn. They are armed with
good Mauser rifles and have 80 Krupp
guns.
To the eastward of Mukden, near Tur-
chausen. there are $1,000 men under the
chief Boxer general Lutanse. To- the
northwest, near Kulo. there are 5000
Chinese under the former governor of
Mukden. To the eastward. in Mongolia
and near the In-shan mountain, there
are 5000 more under the Chinese general
Schu.
Admiral Alexicff has accordingly or
ganiZed an expedition under General Ter
pinsky, consisting of two regiments and
five sotrias of CoSsacks. 16 guns and Il
| body of volunteers. TO operate against the
three points mentioned. The first move
ment was successfully carried out in the
beginning of April. Kulo, which is 80
kilOmctcrs from Mukden, was stormcd.
and the ex-governor of Mukdcn was TAX
en- prisoner. In this action the Russians
had Is men killed and / officers and Is
men wounded. The advance toward the
Turchauson position was then begun.
Owing to the departure of most of the
| Russian troops from Mukdcn the latter
city has become very unsafe. Almost
nightly Russian sentines are found shot
in the back.
The situation in southern Manchuria is
diSquicting. and another advance of Rus
sian troops will be necessary in the early

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.
Governors Plans For Economy Have
Been Carried out.

ALBANY, April 22-The legislature
of 1901 has practically completed all Of
It's labor except the fixing of the tax
rate aud the passing of the Greater New
York charter amendments. 1t will go
down into state political history as one of
the few legislatures that has accomplish
ed at least 30 per cent of the work which
the chief executive of the state outlined
for i in his message. and Governor Odell
VIII be the first governor in many years
whose dominance over the component
branches of government has been so
great that 80 per cent of his recon-
mendations have been carried out.
This is the more notable because many
of his suggestions were of Il radical ma
ture and aimed at methods of taxation
and retrenchmcnt, subjects that have al
ways been the most prominent in rails
ing opposition.
1T is estimated that the revenues of
the state will be increased at least So
100000 annually by the tax bills sug-
gested by the governor and put on the
statute books by the legislature. 1t is
also estimated that ut least Sl,700000
will be saved by the consolidation of the
various departments, the cutting down Of
Legislative printing contract prices and
the general rctrenchnlent in other quar-
tiers. Indeed it is possible for the add
journing legislature to make the tax rate
for the coming fiscal year almost nothing
if all the revenues to be derived are an
ticipatcd.
Here is list of the revenue producing
measures suggested by Governor Odell in
his annual message and which have be-
come or will become laws
Imposing tax of per cent on savings
bank capital, surplus and undivided prof
its. Expected revenue, 100000
Imposing IL tax of | per cent on insur-
ance companies. Expected revenue, $780,
600.
Imposing Il tax of | per cent on trust
companies. Expected revenue. 81 300, 900.
Imposing tax on foreign corporations.
Expected revenue, 100000.
A total increased revenue of So, 100, 900
annually will, it is believed, be brought to
the state by these measures, and when
they are in full operation next year it is
thought that the direct tax rate will be
abolished.
OF ~ suggestions for legislation made
to the legislature by Governor Odell 81
have been made or will be made laws and
only six have failed to pass.
