Much Damaqe by Rain.

The flood which overwhelmed Har.
rlsonburg Saturday afternoon was a
disaster without precedent in the
history of the town. A sudden down
pour of rain, which lasted less than
an hour. assumed the p proportions of
cl0udburSt. Black 8 run, which flows
through the entire length of the town,
overlooked its banks, and for a dis
lance OF four blocks every house on
German street was flooded. The great
est depth of water in this street was
about seven feet. No lives were lost,
but many people were carried out of
their home. Burger S laundry and ten
pin alley. Jordan's blacksmith shop
and the greater portion on Pankey' s
livery stable were swept away. Pan
key lost large number of vehicles.
harness, feed and other equipment, and
number of carriages kept there for
private citizens were also lost. Water
from Blac k S run backed up until it
flowed across the public square, which
is more than a block away. Stores
along the way were flooded and mer-
chandise fiOated through the streets
Four or five bridges we're also carried
away. The flood was Of short dura-
ton, but it left train of wreckage
that Will not be cleared away for days
Many people have moved out of their
flooded homes and others spent Sunday
trying to dry soaked carpets and ruin
ed furniture.
Near Ottobine, Miss Eta Rever-
comb and Albert Hilbert, who had
been attending a lawn party were wash
ed down Beaver Greek and drowned.

1t Is this condition that DR.. Hartman
calls systemic oatarrh. The whole sys-
tenn is saturated with catarrh. Thisdis-
covery marked an important advance in
the history Of medical science. The
medical profession had long been CROP
ing to discover the meaning OF the stub
born and distressing after-effects Of Ii
grippe. All remedies seemed alike In.
adequate.
As soon as DR.. Hartman announced
that 1t was his belief that the after
effects Of Ia grippe was simply sys-
tem1c catarrh, great advance was made
in the treatment Of these cases. II now
only remained to find reliable remedy
for systemic cstarrh.
Here new difficulty arose. Catarrh
had been regarded by many physicians
as a local disease and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew
Of no systemic remedy for catarrh.
| Other physicians regarded catarrh as
blood disease and had been In the habit
Of treating it with blood medicines,
which could be Of no possible use In
systemic catarrh.
For time Peruna enjoyed the dis.
tinction Of being the only systemic ca
| tarrh remedy known. It was not even
claimed by anyone that there was an.
other remedy for this exasperating con-
dition.
Since then, however, q great many
remedies have been proposed for sys-
temic catarrh, and great deal Of val
liable time wasted in experimenting
with other remedies. But It still re-
mains true that Peruna is the only spe.
cific remedy for the after-efiects of Ia
grippe. The demand for this remedy.
in consequence OF the present epidemic
Of la grippe, is enormous.
Mr.. j. P. Lowery, proprietor City Hotel
Albany, Texas, says: being advised to
try Peruna for la grippe and asthma, L
did so with good results. l had been
feeling very unwel for long time, and
had asthma quite bad till came West,
when got better of the asthma, butwas
not well. Tried a great many remedies
for 1T, but nothing was able to cure me.
took three bottles of Peruna andI
am happy to say that it is the best med
icine l ever used. am satisfied that
Peruna Is good medicine, and as such
nave commended 1t to several of my
friends with good results. 1t is seldom
give testimonial, but think this due
you. I hope others NAV be benefited
through you and your medicines"
Every one should read DR.. Hartman,s
latest lecture on la grippe. This lecture
will be sent free by The Peruna Medicine
Company, Columbus, Ohio.

The three bright deaf mute boys,
who graduated last week at the Vir-

went right ON to Gallaudet College,
District of Columbia and successfully
passed their entrance examinations
for next session. They are Claude
Miller, Bridgewater; Bickerton Wins
ton, Hanover county, and Watson Al
len, Franklin county. Their aptness
in figures and thorough knowledge of
history, surprised and delighted the
audience. Young Miller, the Bridge
water boy, showed by his prompt and
correct answers that he had not only
studied history to good purpose, but
read the papers and was up on pc
Itics.
In reply to questions from gentle
man in the audience, reported to him
by signs, Young Miller wrote prompt
ly on the board that the Phillip pines
and Porto Rico were the most recent
acquisitions of territory by the United
States" and that Manila and San
Juan were the principal cities of those
islands. He also wrote the names of
Dewey's ship and when asked when the
last constitutional convention of Vir-
ginia met, he, at once, wrote to-day.
