The Problem Of Relief From the Floods.

Every time an enbankment built to
protect the lowands along the Mis-
sissippi River from food water is broken
and more or less of the populated and
cultivated country is devastated, there
arises an outcry in some quarter or other
against the levees, and a demand for
outlets to dispose of the vast drainage
of continent whose mighty volume
pours upon them the waters of more
than twenty states.
The question of outlets for the Miseis-
sippi River floods has been studied by
the ablest engineers in the country. per-
haps in the world, and they have found
no way in which they could be made
effective.
1t should be noted that the great river
from Cairo, more than a thousand miles
to the sea, flows downa very gentle slope
and along course So directly north and
south that outlets. wherever construct
ed, would have to be parallel to its
course, fact which would add increased
difficulties.
If the excessive waters Of the great
river could be conducted by any shorter
route to the sea the problem would only
be one of cost, since the water would
always run by preference in the shorter
route, because it would have sleeper
declivity to follow But the difficulty of
securing such conditions is very great
This is made plain from the following
figures from the exhaustive surveys and
studies of the Mississippi River Commits

THE RELIANCE
AGAIN FIRST
She Proves Her Superiority In Yaria-
bic Breezes.
CONSTITUTION Is SECOND.
Columbia outsaiIs Both Competitors
on One Leg OF One Round Of the
COurse-LuclS In Wind was
Evenly Distributed.

New York, June 22.--In the race on
Long Island sound for the Seawanha-
ka-Corinthian Yacht club cup the Rell-
anee again proved her superiority over
her two rivals, the Constitution and
the Columbia, for the honor of defend
ing the Americas cup.
1t was special race for the cup, and
the Reliance won it from the Consttu-
ton by a margin Of 4n. lis. She also
defeated the Columbia by I'm BIS, and
tile latter yacht was beaten 3m. 14s. by
the Constitution.
The course was a comparatively short
one, being less than twenty-five knots.
It was triangular, and the yachts went
twice around.
Improvement shown by Columbia.
The average speed of the Reliance
was s.4S miles an hour She covered
the twenty-three and a half miles in
Oh. dom. 12s. The most impressive fea-
ture Of the race was the good work
done BY the old time champion, the Co
lumbia. In the four miles Of windward
work in the second round of the course
she covered the distance faster than the
Reliance by 2m. 50s. and faster than
the Constitution By 3m. Dos. The race
as a whole was closer and more salts
factory than any the yachts have sailed
since the Glen Cove series.
The breeze varied much IN direction,
but II held fairly steady at about a
seven knot strength, with occasional
streaks blowing as high as twelve or
thirteen knots, and the yachts We're
able to cover the twenty-three and a
half mile course in less than three
hours The Reliance won on her merits,
and what luck their was In the matter
of picking up favoring slants Of wind
was evenly divided.
Constitution Loses at start.
Had the Constitution made a better
start the Reliance's margin Of victory
might have been much smaller. The
Columbia got over the line first but the
Reliance was only one second behind,
and Barr was able to huff up into the
Columbia's weather. The Constitution
went across thirty-seyen seconds later
ana rapidly overhauled the Columbia,
but the Columbia had the Constitution
under her lee, and Rhodes could not get
her out
An interested spectator was Colonel

representative aboard the Erin and a
member Of the Royal Clyde Yacht
club. Colonel NELL was much i'm
pressed with the Reliance "The Reli.

DREADED HEART
DISEASE.
Rickert & Wells Explain Why
Dyspepsia is Often Taken
For Heart Disease.
Also How Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
Remove the Cause.

Among the many symptoms Of Dyspep-
STA one Of the most annoying Is the bloat-
ing of the bowels This is so great in
some cases as to interfere with the action
of the heart, and then we have palpitation,
a sense of smothering after eating, short
ness Of breath on exertion, and at times
severe pain in the region Of the heart
Many people rush in alarm to their ply
sieian when affected with these symptoms
Now if you think you have heart dis
ease, try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, If
the pain, palpitation, smothering and
shortRess Of breath come from Dyspepsia
or Indigestion You get in Rexall the best
remedy in the world You will see all Of
these distressing symptoms disappear; you
win receive the priceless boon Of perfect
health
But If you really have heart disease
you are almost certain to have some form
of stomach trouble, whatever the form of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Whether in con
neetion with heart disease or not, Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets can be taken with the
confidence that speedy and permanent
cure will follow.
Then remember this: If Rexall SHOULD
fail to benefit you, Riekert Il Wells will
gladly give you back your money

BIG COMPANY IN TROUBLE

FUNDS and Other onenses Alleged.

Txfravncnmce. MismR ma cement Of
FUNDS aud Ouher onenses Alleged.
Trenton, =. j.. June - Application
has been made IN the court Of chaneery
by Andrew H. McNeal of Burlington
n. j.. for the appointment of a receiver
for the United States Cast Iron Pipe
and Foundry company, which has four
teen plants at different points through.
ont the United States, one Of which IS
located at Burlington Other plants are
located at Buffalo, Cleveland, Colum-
bus. o.; Scottdale. Pa and in Wiscon-
sin. Kentucky and Alabama. The com.
panv was incorporated about three
years ago, with an authorized capital Of
S8O0oOOO0. to make cast iron pipe and
foundry work.
NTcNeal in his bill Of complaint
charges extravaganza and mismanage-
ment in the operation Of the business OF
the company. He further charges that
the company has been operated more
with regard for the exploiting Of the
companys stock in the stock market
than for the practical utilization Of The
company's works; that from It's organi.
cation in the spring OF 1901 the compa
nys management was dominated by
General Samuel Thomas, whose princi.
pal occupation, McNeal says, was that
Of a promoter of companies and ex-
ploiter Of stocks.
MeNeal further charges that since
the spring Of 1901 the company was
dominated by its president George b.
Hayes, whose associates, he alleges,
were fnanclers and exploiters Of
stocks. II is ayerred that the plant at
Buffalo is operated at loss OF 100000
and that plants at West Superior.
Bridgeport. South Pittsburg and New.
port were dismantled and rendered
useless and that these plants were ne.
quired at excessive prices 1t Is also
charged that for the purpose Of ex-
plotting stock statements to the public
were published showing nearly $1,000.
600 surplus, which, McNeal claims, Is
not true.
