WANT MORE SOLDIERS.
Uncle Sam Again Opens Recruiting
Station Here.

Capt. Alga P. Berry, of the Tenth in
fantry, is in Topeka today establish
ing regular army recruiting station
here. No recruits have been received
here since last May, but beginning with
today Corporal Charleston, of the gen
eral recruiting service, will be kept here
in charge of a recruiting station, which
will be maintained in the Armory.
The station will receive recruits for
every branch of the service, but it es-
pecialy urges enlistments in the artil-
lery service. Those assigned to the field
artillery will be sent to Fort Leaven-
worth, and those assigned to the coast
artillery will be sent to the batteries
around San Francisco.
Captain Berry is in charge of the
Kansas City recruiting district COM
prlsing western Missouri and eastern
Kansas. He personally visits the sta
tons at Topeka, Salina, Emporia,
Wichita and ST. Joseph, and has two
heutenants under him who visit other
The war department thinks very
highly of the soldiers it gets in the

many recruits just now. During jan
uary the Kansas City station alone Sc
cured 81, which was exceeded by only
two other stations, New York and San

fact that the Twentieth Kansas holds
the record in getting commissions in
the regular army. There are more

at the rate of from five to six inches an
hour. Street car traffic between the
two cities has been entirely abandoned.
Scores of mills have been forced to close
down, and hundreds of families have
been compelled to move from their
homes.
In Pittsburg, Duquesne, portions of
Penn avenue, Water street and the
Point section were inundated and the
South Side river front was under sew
eral feet of water. In Allegheny, La

Craig Cory, Itasca, River Anderson.
Sandusky and South avenues were inn

up to the second floors, and many
houses were deserted while in others the
occupants were compelled to use skiffs.
Special details of police surround the
Hooded district to guard property and
lives.
Thousands of working men were idle
today and will probably not be able to
resume work for several days on ac-
count of the flood. The water rose so
rapidly that in the American Steel and
Wire plant, South side, the workmen
had to leave their street clothes in the
lockers and get out of the mill in their
working clothes.
The PittSburg & Lake Erie, Pittsburg,
McKeesport & Youghiogheny railroads
are practically closed down.
The exposition grounds, Pittsburg
baseball park and penitentiary are sur
rounded by water which is still rising
here and at points above. At least a.
81 foot stage is expected here today and
predictions are made that it will reach
35 feet unless there is a sudden change
in the weather. This would be the high
est water ever known and the damage
can not be Appropriated.

Lincoln,s Birthplace to Sell.

Hodgenville, KY, March 1.-The birth
place of Abraham Lincoln, near Hodg-
enville is advertised at sheriff's sale for
taxes. A few years ago the place prom
ised to be a property upon which the
government would spend thousands of
dollars. But it was bought by a COM
pany of eastern capitalists with the in
tention of making it a public park.
This scheme fell through when the
cabin in which Lincoln was born was
carried to Central Park in New York
city. The place has been uncared for
and has gradually gone down until its
value is not more than enough to meet
the taxes on it

THINGS WE
LIKE BEST
My is it They So Seldom
Agree With US2

What's the reason the things we like
best so seldom seem to agree with US?
Maybe it's because we overeat Of them.
Then follows fit of indigestion.
Only lasts day or two perhaps. But
it's a most uncomfortable day or two.
If we disregard consequences and in
dulge our appetites the certainty that
we must suffer spoils the pleasure.
We don't mean to abuse our stom-
achs but we all do 1t more or less. We
see things we want and can't re-
sist the longing for them. When it's
too late we regret our rashness. But
there's a way to escape the conse-
of good digestant like Kodol Dyspep-
STA Cure will relieve your trouble at
once. That is the sensible remedy.
Indigestion is always due to the
same cause. Your stomach is too weak
to digest what you eat. Itneeds rest.
You can't rest it by going without
food. That would mean starvation.
But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rest il.
1t does the stomach'S work. In the
mean time the tired organ is gaining
fresh strength. Before long IL win
be as strong as ever. A temporary at
tack can be cured at once. A case of
long standing naturally takes more
time But the first dose brings relief.
And a complete cure in the near future
IS certain. You don't have to diet.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will digest any
kind of wholesome food. For sickly
children it is uuequalled. They thrive
on it. The little ones often have in
digestion, too. Don't let them suffer.
II had stomach trouble of four years stand

GUARD AGAINST FIRE.
Chief Devine to Make Suggestions to
University.

Since the recent destructive fire at the
university the board of regents of that
institution have been engaged in devislng
plans for preventing a repetition OF dis
aster Of that kind.
A committee wa appointed to call upon
Chief Devine of the fire department and
ask his advice in the matter and secure
any suggestions that he might consider
advisable The committee called upon the
chief Thursday and he has been engaged
since that time in preparing a report to
submit TO the board, which Will contain
the details of his ideas for offering better
fire protection to the university build
ings.
The report will be completed probably
today. but by Monday al the latest, and
will be presented to the board of regents
al its meeting Monday afternoon. The
contents of the report VIII not be made
public until after Il has been considered
by the board, but viii very likely advo-
cate the laying of more fire plugs on the
university grounds and putting in a more
thorough and complete system of water
works in the different buildings.
At present II is said there are not
enough hydrants in the vicinity Of the
university 20 cope successfully with a
fire as destructive as the last. and the
chief thinks that by scattering them over
the grounds, an ordinary fire could be
easily handled and a blaze OF any dimen-
sions could be kept under control before
serious damage was done.
The report viii receive the consideration
of the hoard Monday and it is likely
that active measures will at once be be-
gun 10 afford ample protection in the
event Of another cOnflaCration.

BOLD PLOT OF F0RGER
Convict Signs the Names of
Prominent New Workers to
a Petition.

Helena. Mont, Jan. 1O.-Governor
Toole has unearthed one OF the most
daring, and fraudulent attempts for the
release Of a convict from the peniten-
tiary that has ever come TO light in
this state. Some time. ago the gov
ernor received a letter from President
Roosevelt, who was then vice presi-
dent, saying that letter purporting to
have been written by Roosevelt had
been returned TO him from the dead
letter office The letter asked for the
pardon of LauncelOt G.. Livingston. a
convict in the Montana penitentiary.
Mr., Roosevelt said the letter was a
forgery.
A few days ago the full extent Of
the forgeries looking to the pardon Of
Livingston was rSEealed. A petition
was received FROM the prisoner asking
for executive cleIpency. and stating
that he was a member of a prominent
New York family.
